The United States and Persia are
again on speaking terms after an IN
pleasantness that has existed for fully
a decade. To be sure there has been
no war and the little difficulty has not
been widely noticed or even known,
but for 10 years there has been no
Persian minister at Washington
though our government has been rep
resented at the Persian court all that
time. The last Persian minister, Hadj
Hassan COOL Khan. packed his grip
and went home in a huff because our
newspapers We're 50 unkind as to make
Jokes on his name. At least, that is
the way the story goes. But Persia
mas forgiven us and now another
minister has arrived. and it is hoped
he will not be so sensitive to the prick
OF the great American joke

1t will be strange if there is not
trouble from the smallpox brought to
Portland on the steamer Vancouver.
There was n blunder somewhere and
all the steeragc passengers Were al
lowed to go on their way, some TO BoS
ton, some to New York and some TO
the West. 1t is understood none Of
them remained in Maine. Only the
sick child itself was retained in quar-
antne. DR.. Young has taken every
step possible to prevent the spread Of
the dread disease by notifying the
boards of health where the passengers
have gone. and deserves much credit
for his prompt action. The steerage
passengers belong to a class among
which it is difficult To regulate and
check the disease. Names smallpox
scare. last spring. was an expensive
affair, and another is not wanted. But
bad as is such scare there is little or
no danger, under present conditions, Of
anything worse than a scare.

The fund for home for Admiral
Schley is not achieving any great
growth II does not seem to be a
popular move for the reason that Ad
miral Schley's fool friends have
stopped over SO many times that the
public is getting very tired Of them.
There is no feeling against the admiral
himself. though his demeanor at the
great Dewey celebration showed a con-
ceit not at all becoming To hero. If
il comes to building houses for naval
officers. there are many fully as de-
serving Of this recognition as Admiral
Schley. He is not Dewey, and the
main credit for destroying Cervera's
fleet belongs to quite another man.

The Lewiston agent of the S. +. c. a.
has been doing some work and il would
seem that Androscoggin is a good field
for operations. He found one well-to-
do farmer. the owner Of a large farm
with a good barn, who, through indol-
lence had not cut his hay, but was buy
ing bailed hay and the last bail had
not been broken. The tieup had not
been attended to for long time and
there was hardly room enough for the
animals to lie down, and certainly not
enough for comfort. one poor animal
had died and had not been removed,
and the others had not nearly enough
to eat Asked what he did with the
milk. the man could not tell. but final
ly owned up that he did not get milk
from all of the cows. The agent had
the owner of the stock feed them, hire
man to put the barn i'll good shape
and he himself engaged some one to
watch and see that the stock was Well
fed. The farmer promised better
things.

the American Ornithologists' Union,

this cruel wrong. These organizations,
supported by the Audubon societies or

destruction of bird life is not wholly
sentimental or humanitarian. 1t has
practical grounds also. Treasurer
butcher, of the American Ornitholo-
gists' Union, estimates that the raw
ages of insects upon growing crops in
volve a loss to farming interests of
5000. 900 600 every year. The most eff
fective safeguards against insect pests
are the birds, and it is demonstrated
that as the birds disappear the losses
caused by insects steadily INCREASE.
The American farmer is prosaic, prac-
teal and but little given to sentiment
talism. But he knows his friends, and
among the choicest of these he counts
the birds which guard his grain fields,
his orchards, his vineyards and his
berry patch against his insect enemies.
His plea for the protection of the
birds is prompted by the same sense
Of self-interest that impels him to keep
a watchdog to guard his home against
tramps. And it deserves to be needed.

The report of a case Of smallpox at

143 900 died from it in Germany. Now
vaccination is compulsory and the
