STOVES.

Owing to the mildness of the climate
in Portugal heating stoves are rarely
used in that country.
Heating and cooking stoves are both
used by the upper classes in Greece,
but the lower classes still live without
using either.
Very few heating and cooking stoves
are used in Paraguay. All the houses
have brick stoves built in them, SO that
iron stoves have little or no sale.
Stoves made Of thing arc in general
use in Austria. They are said to be SUI
perior to iron stoves on account of the
great economy of fuel possible by their
use.
There is in the Mediterranean coun-
tries widespread prejudice against all
artificial heat, and consequently not
more than one house in six is ever heat
ed during the winter time.
Iron cooking stoves are almost an
unknown luxury among the people Of
South America and the West Indies.
They still cook in open fireplaces and
by other primitive methods.
The cooking stove, rs it is known In
the United States, does very little serv-
ice in France. A few are in use in the
country, but in most farmhouses the
cooking is done in n large open fire.
place. In the cities furnace is built
in the small kitchen.

I'd ENGLISH spARRoWs. 81

Dates at Witch These Birds Were
Imported Into This Country,
- have been asked several times late
ly at what date the common English
sparrows were imported into the Unit
ed States and by whom.
1t seems that the first attempt was
made in 1858 by private citizen of
Portland, Me. In the fall of that year
he liberated six sparrows, and they i'm
mcdiatcly made themselves Mt home
in his garden and outbuildings. For
few years these birds and their de-
sccndants were seen in and about the
town in small squads. These birds
multiplied until in the winter Of 1871
flock of them appeared in every near
by town, thus showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1860 IL birds were imported
and liberated near Madison square,
New York city, and this was repeated
for several seasons.
In 1864 the commissioners of New
York liberated II birds in Central park.
About this Anne numerous persons re-
turning frMn abroad bror ght n few
birds home and set them ut liberty in
and about Jersey City.
The craze for importing these birds
spread, and in 1868 the city govern
ment of Boston imported great num-
Der. But the birds had not been caro-
fully handled, and they did not thrive,
and others We're brought over. The
birds which survived from these va
rious importations We're carefully fed
and looked after by the city govern
ment.
In 1860 thousand were imported
anu liberated in the city of philadel-
phia, and soon the birds spread over
all adjacent territory.
About this time the Smithsonian in
stituton became interested in bringing
these birds to this country, SO they Inn
ported 300 but most of them died. In
1871 the same institution brought over
another lot, and they were successfully
cared for.
From this 1t is seen that the birds
have started from n number Of points
and were not one or two importations
to New York, as is usually supposed

AS regards facilities for bathing.
which every Filipino demands, there Is
the open bay, with its miles of clean
salt water, ready at any time of tho
day or year for free bath. The genu-
ine Filipino is half amphibious, loving
the water aud swimming like fish.
An example of this may be seen in the
large tobacco factories of Binondo,
with their 10000 employees. When tho

Patsy Hevey of Police Headquarters
Keeps Relic of Billy
Patterson.

An old shoe, badly dilapidated and run
down at the heel is being held at the
police station as evidence against the man
who struck Billy Patterson. Patsy Havey
tells this story about It:
Come down here any night" said he,
and you will see that hall out there full
OF hoboes sleeping on the floor. One night
we counted sixty, but now that the weather
has moderated somewhat there's not quite
so mary. Why. they used to be so thick
that you couldn't walk through the hall
without stepping on them. Then we used
to pile em up, one layer on top of an
other, like cordwood. And they're terri
bly, particular about their accommodations,
too, considering that they we're getting
their lodging free. II you'll believe IT,
the fellows on bottom used to kick II we
put more than two layers OF hoboes on ton
of them.
well, one night IL was terribly muddy
out in the yard, having thawed the day be-
fore, and along about o'clock in the
morning in comes Billy Patterson through
the south door The lights were out. IL
was dark In the hall and Billy was in
hurry. / guess he must have stepped on
the faces Of about five OF them before he
learned that the door mat he was looking
for was on the front porch
There was a shower of old shoes aimed
at Patterson, and one or two of them
struck him, but this one went over the
railing and I'm keeping It as a souvenir.
The next morning you could track Patter-
son clean down the line of hoboes by the
mud and marks of heelplates on their
faces. Patterson said he didn't find them
very good walking"

RUBBER SHOES FOR A YEAR
Reduction I'm Price of Rubber Goods
Causes Retailers to Lay In
Big stocks.

The recent reduction In the wholesale
price Of rubber goods has brought about a
peculiar condition of trade In that line In
the Omaha territory. One of the promi-
nent dealers in rubber goods said
you may be surprised to learn that the
wholesale dealers In rubber footwear have
practically received all OF their orders for
next years trade, but such is the case. We
generally do not begin the season until
April, and 1t is usually August before the
orders are received In any great number,
but this year we have about covered our
field. With last nights orders we have
sold 40 per cent more goods since January
for the trade of 1902 than we sold for the
preceding twelve months.
"All Of the Omaha wholesalers had made
UP their minds that the trade would open
rs usual and We made our arrangements
accordingly. Toward the end of December
We heard rumors of a reduction In price to
come, and when we received notice of a 5
per cent reduction January / we thought
that would be the end of It. probably until
April. Then came the reduction Of IS per
cent in February. and with It We decided
20 30 after business. The low prices at
tracted the retailers and It really makes
little difference where the price goes this
