Popular feeling against the wanton
destruction Of bird life is not wholly
sentimental or Humanitarian. It has
practical grounds also. The treasurer
Of the American Ornithologists' Union
estimates that the ravages of insects
upon growing crops involve loss to
farming interests of 5000, 900, 900 ev-
cry year. The most effective safe
guards against insect pests are the
birds, and it is demonstratable that as
the birds disappear the losses caused
ny insects steadily increase. The
American farmer is prosaic, practical
aud but little given to sentimental
ism But he knows his friends, and
among the choicest of these he counts
the birds which guard his grain fields,
his orchards, his vineyards aud his
berry patch against his insect en-
emies. His plea for the protection of
the birds is prompted by the same
seuse of self-interest that impells
him to keep a Watchdog to guard his
sheep and cattle. Aad it deserves TO
he needed.

1t is one of the grievous defects OF
che school system that the courses of
instruction are framed for the "aver-
age pupil, when, as matter of fact,
there is no average pupil. The pres
emit tendency toward imparting more
fexibllity to public school curricula,
to the end that the varying tempera-
mental characteristics and mental ca
pacities of children may be, adequate
by accommodated, is one of the most
hopeful signs in the educationa
world Educators are beginning to
realize that rigidity in methods of in
structioR is not progress; in fact, it is
not instruction. Give the defective
boy a chance. The dull boy who gets
a low marking in school ofttimes tri-
Umphs over his physical disabilities
when he gets out into the world and
attains marked success in business en-
deayor. But it is the duty of the
schools to take considerate and hui
name account of his defects and give
him as equal chance, SO far as prac-
ticable, with tho more fortunate
pupils.

PESTILENCE AND MISERY.
Cholera Now Adds It's Horrors TO
the Fearful lneRaging
la India.

In India.
The report received at London that
cholera is strengthening its deadly
hold on famine-stricken India brings
the pitiful condition Of that country
more than ever TO the public view.
About 90, 800, 900 persons, for this is
the population Of the districts affected,
are sweltering their squaid existences
away amid pestilence and misery that
show no signs of abating. Hundreds
Of thousands Of pounds in good British
gold, good German marks and Amer
lean coin have been thrown into the
country, but, judging from the latest
adyices, all this charity is merely a
drop in the ocean.
The famine and its attendant com.
plioations appear to exceed in viru-
lence any previous visitations. The
viceroy, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston,
and the government are making cease
/ less exertions to meet the terrible
emergency, but the stupendous diff
culties confronting them prevent the
present supplying of relief to more
than five millions. In the meantime
the native states are dotted with heaps
Of dead and dying, and the roads arc
crowded with ghAstly bands seeking
to escape from the stricken territories,
but who, for lack of food and water,
mostly succumb in the attempt. One
of the most hopeless features of the
whole affair is contained in the state
ment of special correspondent at
Simla, who writes:
"ren times the total relief could
be laid in a single district without
fully describing its distress. All we
can hope for is a succession of good
years to put the people on their legs
again.
The British districts are reported to
be so far escaping the large starva-
tion and mortality that mark the native
states. But that their condition is
not enviable is evident from the fol-
lowing description sent by Bombay
correspondent on the scene at Ahem-
dabad, a city in the presidency Of
Bombay:
Tin an open space upward of 200
were seated, old and young, being
famine personifed. The smell arising
from their filthy rags was sickening,
and had attracted myriads of flies.
Some, especially the old men, were
bony frameworks. A girl sucking
two children was CHASTITY to look at,
| but the little ones, with hollow tenn
pies, sunken eyes aud cheeks and the
napes of their necks falling in under
Their skulls, which seemed to Overbal-
ance their emaciated bodies, and with
wisp like arms and legs, were more
dreadful still. Many were suffering
from disease and numbers had the
fever. Those who could work were
sent on where tanks were being dug;
others were given a meal and passed
on to the pOorhouse.
This picture is from less seriously
affected part of the country. The suf-
ferings in the remoter districts, where
the famine is severe, where all the cat
tie have long since died, where the
water is precious and where cholera
has now added its dread scourge, can
we'll be imagined

EXTREME ESTIMATE TOO LARGE
Many Of the Dead Belonged TO
Secret Orders, and Their Re-
mains Were Sought.

Dispatches Of Thursday from SEQ
field, Utah, were to the effect that the
extreme estimate Of dead was con-
coded to have been too large, and it
was numerically impossible to place
the loss of life at 800 as there we're
not that many men in the mine. The
probabilities are that $50 will be
about the total number of dead.
There we're not enough collins in
the camp to bury the dead, and to add
horror to the situation the bodies were
rapidly decomposing.
There were fifty bodies for which
no provision for burial had been
made. A joint committee of Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias spent
the day among the dead, identifying
members of their orders. They found
about twenty of each among the dead
