II took ave policemen to arrest a
pig on Fifteenth street. betx cen Locust
and Spruce streets. yesterday morn
ing. says the Philadelphia Record. He
was big. fat. black fellow. and his
presence In that fashionable neighbor-
hood was surrounded In mystery. But
there he was and there he apparently
intended 10 remain. Several servant
girls attempted TO "shoo" him from
their immaculate marble steps. but he
simply grunted and wailowed. Then
q coachman was dispatched to the Do
lice station on Fifteenth street. above
Locust. and a policeman was detailed
TO arrest the intruder. This policeman
didn't know much about arresting
pigs. but he started out full OF conf
denes. In a few minutes he returned
for re-enforcements. and two more
policemen were detailed to aid him.
Even this squad met with defeat, and
two more men were sent to the scene
Of action. one OF whom had been raised
among the razor backs OF South Car
olina. While the other four surround.
ed and corralled the porker the South
Carolinian caught him by the hind
legs and marched the squealing cap
tive. whcelbarrow fashion. to the sta

BIRDS LOVE TREES.

1t has been proved by the work of
the Audubon society and by the re-
searches Of Mr.. e. H. Forbush. orni-
board Of agriculture, that, much as we
humans claim TO love the trees and ths
forests. the birds love them even more
and are in a position to do more good
In their preservation than are we.
Take. for instance. the fact that the
stomach Of one yellow-billed cuckoo
shot at O'Clock In the morning con-
tanned the partially digested remains
Of forty three tent caterpillars, and see
II you have In your acquaintance
person who would be likely to have de-
stroyed 30 many pests by that hour in
the morning. Then take into consider
alton. says the Boston Transcript. the
fact revealed by Mr.. Forbush that
there are forty-eix Of our native birds
that feed from preference on the gypsy
moth and 1t is easy to compute the
good work these birds will do IL given
4 chance-and it's not costing the COM
monwealth SO much by a good round
sum TO protect them as did the great
sham battle the gypsy moth commits
sion put up. against that nuisance.
Most OF these birds that are SO fond of
q gypsy moth diet are also partial to
the brown-tail moth caterpillar. the
banker worm and all the rest OF the
worms and insects that take the beau
ty out of trees and forests. II ia ac-
knowledged, OF course. by the most
ardent advocates OF bird protection.
that blue-1ays prey on the nests OF
other birds: that the grosbeaks and
purple nnches eat buds and blossoms
that a good many of the birds eat fruit
and the buds of trees. and that wood
peckers do some damage to the trunks
of the trees. Yet all these sins charged
up to their discredit are as nothing
when weighed in the balance with
their benencent ministrations- 1t Is
urged that nesting boxes and boxes
also which may be used for winter
quarters. placed about in the woods
and on the edge OF the woods, will do
a great deal to prevent harm coming to
them from cats or from exposure to
extreme cold weather. Then. this
much accomplished, 1t would be sim
pie matter and not an expensive one
for a community TO undertake to sup
ply them with grain or food of some
sort when the snow covers the ground
and the twigs Other foes of the birds
the gunners and the mischievous
boys-must also be dealt with by, say,
one part OF moral suasion to nine OF
rigid legislation. and long life and

The large French chestnuts are
again In market. and are beginning to
be used as one of the substantial lunch
or dinner dishes by many families. In
many French homes IL is the practice
to roast them slowly until soft, then
send them TO the table. where each
member hulls his own, then cuts them
In half and puts bit OF butter be-
tween before eating. says the New
York Post Another way Is to hull
and throw them into boiling water
for few minutes. so that the skins
can be easily removed. after which boil
for twenty or thirty minutes. until
soft: then put through one Of the pat
ent potato mashers. and they are ready
to eat a. a porridge with cream or
rich milk After boiling and mashinx
they can be seasoned with butter and
served In the place OF mashed potatoes.
