A Bird of the Woods,

The scarlet tanager is largely bird
OF the woods, though frequently seen
in the orchard. 1t is eminently Il
tree bird and feeds upon many insects,
leaves or twgs of trees and shrubbery.
It is especially the guardian and pro-
tector of the oaks. Large moths, like
the Luna and polyphemus, are cap
tured by the tanager, which shears off
their wings and legs with its beak and
then devours them.-New England
Farmer.

One Of the curiosities of Wimborne
minister in Durham. England, is the
tomb of Anthony Etricke, the first re-
corder of Poole. and the magistrate
who committed the Duke of Mon
mouth after the battle of Sedgmoor.
Tradition says Etricke had quarrel
with the people of Wimborne, so made
a VOW that he would mot be buried
in their church or churchyard, under
their ground or over" To carry out
this vow he obtained leave to cut a
niche in the wall of the minister. and
there he placed his own coffin, fixing
at the same time the date he supposed
he would die-1691. He did not die,
however, until 1903, and the figures
were altered accordingly. The coffin
is brilliantly decorated with the arms
of the Etricke family, and to prevent
it from going to decay sum of one
pound a year was bequeathed to keep
the niche and coffin in good repair.

Temperance Drinks in Saloons.



\ bill has been introduced in the
legislature at the instance of Mr.
Goodwin Brown, to whom New York
and other cities of the state owe the
laws making mandatory the free pub
lie baths providing that all holders OF
liquor tax certificates shall keep on
sale, along with their Intoxicating
liquors, milk, tea, coHee and chocolate.
This is a practical temperance meas
ure which ought to be upon the stat
ute book. A great deal of the liquor
drinking now done in the saloons is
due not to a special craving for alcO-
hol, but to need for refreshment and
to habits of good fellowship. If it
were as easy to get a cup of hot chloe
late over a bar as a glass of whiskey
many man would go home sober who
now goes home drunk. The saloon
is the poor mans club. In it he
finds warmth light companions, a
chance to visit and a chance to read
the papers. If on their inevitable
visits they could easily find a palatable
substitute for alcohol, many men
would avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity.
The good to be done by such plan
has greatly impressed English reform
ers, who have now project on foot
to acquire the public houses on a
huge scale, and sell in them tea, coffee
and other temperance drinks as well
as alcoholic beverages. There is NO
reason why the state itself, controll
ing as it does the liquor traffic, should
not compel the dealers to give Gus
toners a fair choice between alcoho
and less harmful drinks. The crowds
not only of women but of men VINO pa
tronize the soda fountains prove thai
the coffee and chocolate there obtained
are popular. These beverages are
sold at a large profit, and the liquol
dealers would suffer no hardship from
being compelled to dispense them al
an incident to their business. TIT
law would certainly work no harm t.
anybody, and it would probably be
great boon to many.

NO MORE EXTENSIONS.
Director Roche Tells Sewer Contract.
ors That They Will Be Held to
the Terms of Their Contracts.

Director of Public Works John f.
Roche had a heart-to-heart talk with
nearly all the contractors doing sewer
work for the city, Thursday afternoon
in his Office. The contractors had been
notified early in the week to appear
on that day. and all were on hand
with one exception.
Director Roche informed them that
hereafter they will be held strictly to
the terms of their contracts. and that
he will fight the granting of any en-
tensions of time by councils unless in
the case of a rare emergency.
He pointed out that the cost of en-.
ploynE sewer inspectors is gradually
mounting up to such an extent that in
some instances it amounts to as much
as Is per cent. of the entire cost of
constructing a sewer. This. Mr.. Roche
informed them, was due to the care
lessness of the contractor. who in many
cases make no effort to hurry job
along. relying upon their pull with
councils to get an extension of time
whenever they need it.
Tne contractors admitted that Direc-
tor Rcche's ideas We're correct, but i'm
mediately proceeded to get back" at
him by pouring out tale of woe about
the laXity on the part of the city in
collecting sewer assessments. That
Director Roche was impressed with
their arguments along this line is evil
denced by a statement he made to a
Tribune man after the conference.
II feel" said he. that the universal
kick made by the sewer contractors
about the laXity in the collection OF
sewer assessments is a just complaint.
| believe that the city officials intrusted
with the work of collecting these as
sessnents in the past have been lax
and careless in many instances. and l
believe that those now doing the work
should resolve to make an extra effort
to enforce the paying of these assess
ments by the property owners.
Some Of the contractors tell me that
in the past it has been considered quite
favor if notice was sent to prop
erty owner telling him that his assess
ment was due. Everybody knows the
trouble these men have trying to Sc
cure money on their estimates and
that when they do get it advanced it
is not until an almost ruinous discount
has been deducted.
These difficulties and troubles are
foreseen by the contractors when they
hid on sewer work, and I believe that
there is no question but that their bids
are higher than they should be as a
consequence. / believe that if we held
every property owner strictly to ac-
count for the prompt payment of his
sewer assessment, the work of con-
structing sewers could be done any
where from one-eishth to one-quarter
cheaper than it is done now"
