Well, he did not unbend, and what

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 are in general
use i'll Austria. They are said to be SUI
perior to iron stoves or account of the
great economy Of fuel possible by their
use.
There is in the Mediterranean coun-
tries a 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 ireplaces and
by other primitive methods.
The cooking stove. as 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 a large open fire
place. In the cities Q furnace is built

Paying the Landlord.

The proprietor Of one Of the new
apartment houses ear Fifth avenue
has paid a rather heavy penalty for
having a %cartoonist as one of his ten
ants. The artist wanted some changes
made in the decoration of his apart
ment, and the proprietor declined to
make them. The proprietor's features
are pronounced. and he wears long.
flowing side whiskers. His face, dis
torted to suit the cartoonist's fancy,
has appeared nearly every week in one
of the comic papers. Sometimes the
proprietor figures as the villain and
again as the countryman who is bun
koed every week in the pages of this
publication. The cartoonist lets the
whiskers grow from week to week;
then, just as his victim imagines that
they will grow so long that his friend
will not recognize him, the artist trims
the whiskers down again. The propri-
etor of the apartment house has con-
cluded that the only way in which he
IA get even with the %cartoonist is to
put in a bill for services as model.-New
York Sun.

The brain of the tortoise was suppos-

was %efficacious in extinguishing fire
and when placed under the tongue
would produce prophetic inspiration.
Another stone possessing the latter
property was to be found in the eye of
the hyena. The head of the cat, how
ever, was thought to contain what
would undoubtedly have been the most
wonderful and most desirable treasure
of all could it have only had a real in

that man who was so fortunate as to
possess this precious stone would have

: ENGLISH sPARRoWs. @
Dates at Which These Birds Were
~ Imported Into This Country.

/ have been asked several times late
~ 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 a private citizen Of
Portland, Ne. In the fall Of that year
he liberated six sparrows, and they i'm
mediately made themselves at home
in his garden and outbuildings. Fol a
few years these birds and their de-
s%cendants We're seen in and about the
town in small squads. These birds
multiplied until in the winter of 1871
a flock of them appeared in every near
by town, thus showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1860 - 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 time numerous persons re-
turning from abroad brought a few
birds home and set them at liberty in
and about Jersey City.
The craze for importing these birds
spread, and in 1868 the city govern
ment of Boston imported a great num-
Der. But the birds had not been care
fully handled. and they did not thrive.
and others We're brought over. The
birds which survived from these va
rious importations were carefully fed
and looked after by the city govern
ment.
In 1869 a thousand were imported
n liberated in the city of Philadel-
phia, and soon the birds spread over
all adjacent territory.
About this time the Smithsonian in
stitution became Interested in bringing
these birds to this country, SO they i'm
ported 500, but most of them died. In
1871 the same institution brought over
another lot, and they were successfully
cared for.
From this it is seen that the birds
have started from a number of points
and were not one or two importations
to New York. as is usually supposed
