chattlptng things is a practical Illus
tratio@ of the beauties of contentment.
Sparrcws should be protected. not only
for the good they do. but for the
pleasure they bring even to the slums
OF great cities, enlivening even the gar
rets of the sick with their gentle CHR
rup. They are undoubtedly the scaven-
gers of cities. clearing away waste
from every corner, and they have
brought soft and loving feelings to the
heart of the toughest prisoner, who
from his stinted pittance Of bread and
water will save no small share for the
sparrows at his window grating. They
are the best of insect destroyers; they
have attached themselves TO man
most confidingly; they are beings with
flesh and blood and brains, and most
affectionate in their own way to those
that love and care for them. Therefore
let US care for and protect them In
summer as we'll as in winter. For al
though the farmers may have good rea-
son to object to their presence about
their grain stacks, there are many rea-
sons for encouraging them TO thrive
in our cities.

bird. Whilst they were all talking
about the prisoner. the lad spied Il
similar bird on elder bush. and DIR.
Stewart at once noticed that this was
the captive's mate. He persuaded the
boy TO put the basket outside. This
was done. and by-and-by the male bird
flew down and began carcssing the
prisoner in many pretty ways. Then
he attacked the basket lid furiously
hoping 10 peck a hole in il big enough
for his consort to escape by. This so
touched the boys mother and even
the boy. that the latter agreed to let
the captive free. Taking the basket
back to the spot where the thrush had
been caught. the lid was opened and
the bird flew off with wild scream of

Little Lin Gin has Il sad story. a
year ago he was found on a steamer
entering San Francisco. with a woman
who had stolen him away from China.
They took him away from her and
cared for him. But though he was a
bright little fellow. nearly four years
old. he could not describe his home, eX-
cept that he had spent his time in play
ing pretty games. His clothes were OF
the finest silk. and he had many gen
tie ways that he could only have had in
China by being the son of rich people.
The Chinese mission kept him for one
year. and now it has sent him back to
China, and will try to find the pretty
mamma he has prattled about so
much.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

nyuiDerab BILE Steel.

Messrs. Cammeil, the famous steel
manufacturers of Sheffield. England.
have lately produced new kind Of
steel. which can not be softened by
heat. which no drill will pierce. which
is as adamant to any kind of cutting
tool. while at the same time the heav-
lest blow Will not induce it to fracture.
a plate of this new metal, having a
thickness OF less than three-siXteenths
OF an inch. will stop a Lee-MetfOrd bull
let. This new steel has. indeed. the
most resistant properties of any ma
terial known. and il can only be fash
.oned by the 2r,iticer by the employ
ment Of hydraulic pressure. 1t will no
coubt have wide application in de-
fcnsive warfare.

The Welsbach incandescenlt gas
burner is now pretty we'll known.
Some attempts have been made TO ap-
ply the same style Of burner TO kerO-
sene lamp. Still another use for it has
been sought by Frenchman. NJ De-
rayrouZe. He is one of the leading spir-
its in the introduction and application
OF the incandescent gas and oil light
ing systems, and has lately explained
TO the French Society of Civil Engi-
neers Il system of incandescent light
ing in which alcohol furnishes the
heating flame. While, as is we'll known.
alcohol under a Welsbach mantle proT
duces a brilliant flame. ii is not an eco
nomical one; but NJ. Denayrouze's plan
is to charge the alcohol with hydro
carbons. in solutions, TO such an eX-
tent that the carbon in the flame and
deposited on the mantle adds greatly
ID the light without causing any In
creased consumption Of alcohol.
