WEED DESTROYERS.
Among the Birds the English Spar
row Is Entitled to Much
Credit.

The English sparrow has so few
friends and so many enemies in this
country that it is pleasant to find
some one who has a good word to
say for him. The ''Year Book" of the
department of agriculture, recently
issued, contains some interesting in
formation about the sturdy little
alien, derived from careful study
of the food habits of these birds.
With all his faults, the English
sparrow does some good by assisting
in the work of destroying the seeds
of noxious plants. Flocks of thou
sands of these birds may be seen
every autumn on the lawns of the
department of agriculture feeding on
crab-grass and yard grass, two weeds
which crowd out good turf-making
grasses. The English sparrow also
deserves credit for destroying seeds
of the dandelion, which is a prolific
weed throughout the United States.
In the destruction of dandelion
seeds the English sparrow is aided by
several native birds, chiefly the song
native birds do not usually cut open
dandelions, but feed upon those left
by the English sparrow.
In summarizing this chapter on
birds as weed destroyers, DIR. Judd,
an assistant in the biological survey,
asserts that not less than so different
birds serve man in this capacity, and
that the noxious plants which they
help to eradicate number more than
60 species. During the colder half of
the year the only food of many
species of birds consists of the seeds
of well-known and widely distributed
weeds
Goldfinches destroy weeds which
are not touched by other birds, con-
fining their attacks chiefly to one
group of plants, many of the mem
bers of which are serious pests; but
the birds which accomplish most as
weed destroyers are the native spar
rows that flock to the weed patches
in early autumn, and remain until
late spring. During cold weather
they require a good deal of food to
keep warm. and because of their gre
garious habits they are efficient com
sumers of seeds of ragweed, pigeon
grass, crab grass, birdweed. purslane,
smartweed and pigweed. In short,
these birds are little weeders whose
work is seldom noticed but always
felt.

HOW THEY FELL OUT.
One of Those fearful Little TiRs
Over Nothing That ENDS
in the Sugar Pot.

They had been married three weeks,
and had just commenced housekeeping.
He was starting to town one morning
and she followed him to the door, says
London Tit-Bits. They had their arms
wrapped around each other, and she
was saying:
"Oh, Clarence, do you think it pos
sible that the day can ever come whe n
we shall part in anger?"
''Why, no, little puss," he said. "Of
course not; what put that foolish idea
into my little BRIDES head, eh?"
sob, nothing, dearest. l was only
thinking how perfectly dreadful it
would be if one of us should speak
harshly to the other"
"Well, don't think of such wicke d,
utterly impossible Kings any more"
he said. 'We can never, never quar-
re-"
81 know it, darling. Good-by, you
dear old precious, good-by, and-oh,
wait second, Clarence, I've written
a note to mamma. Can't you run
round to the house and leave it for
her some time to-day?"
"Why, yes, dearie; if have time"
'If you have time! Oh, Clarence!"
''What is it, little girlie?"
"Oh, to say if you have time to do
almost the very first errand your lit
tie wife asks you to do"
''Well, well, dearie, I'm awfully busy
just now"
"Too busy to please me? Oh, Clar-
ence, you hurt my feelings So
"Why, child, +"

married woman. and /"

''No, no, Clarence, if 1 was your

But. Mabel, do be reasonable"
sob. Clarence, don't speak to me So"
.'Mabel, be sensible, and"
go on, Clarence, go on; break my
heart"
"Stuff and nonsense!"
"Oh, o-o-oh!"
''What have I said or done?'
CAS- if you need to ask! But go. Hate
me if you will, Clarence, L"
This is rank nonsense!"
I'll go back to mamma if you want
me to. She loves me, if you don't"
"You must be crazy!"
sob, yes; sheer at me, ridicule me.
Perhaps you had better strike me!'
He bangs the door, goes down the
steps with jump, and races off, NUT
tering something about women being
the "queerest creatures"
Of course. they'll make up at light,
and they'll have many such little
tiff in the years to come, and when
they are old, they'll say: "We've lived
together As years, and never-no,
never-spoken a cross word to each
other in all that time"

AN ENGLISH wOMAN's SUCCESS
When Her Husbands Fortune Went
She Started In and Made
Money Herself.

Many well-born English women
have gone into trade in recent years,
and most of them have made a sue
cess of it, though the venture may
have cost them social prestige.
One of the courageous company has
done so well in business that she is
to retire from active work this fall,
though she will keep an interest in
the business, which has been made
into a corporation.
1t is nice little story, that of Mrs.
Jack Cummings success. She came
of a good old Guernsey family of
French extraction. Every one ex-
pected her to make a brilliant mar
riage.
She chose an acknowledged detri-
mental, Jack Cummings. His family
was all that could be desired. He
was handsome and an all around
good fellow, but the young couple
were uncompromisingly if cheerful
", poor.
After a few years the husbands
father died, leaving the property to
his son, who paid up succession
duties, ETC., and then found he had
nothing to live on.
Here was where the woman's part
of the story began. She said she
could make money, and she proved it.
She opened the family house in
London as a dressmaking and millin-
cry establishment. The place had
been the home of the old Hogarth
club and was full of fine old tapes
beautiful ceilings.
From the wall, long line of IL
lustrious ancestors looked down at
member of the family tactfully sell
ing gorgeous gowns and marvellous
CONNECTIONS.
There was an assumed name over
the door. So much was conceded to
the ancestors, but the name didn't
imply any effort at concealment, or
any false shame.
Mrs. Cummings superintendent
everything herself. Her French
blood made her wizard in matters
sartorial.
She went to the shop at nine in
the morning. She gave each GUS
toner her personal attention. She
made her gowns fad.
Society howled, went from curios-
ity, saw, and was conquered. The
dressmaker was serenely Indifferent
to criticism and absorbed in her art.
Many of the smart set not only
bought her gowns and hats but kept
her friendship.
She set her husbands estate on it's
feet. refined the threadbare family
pocket. sold out at big profit, keep
ing an interest in the business, and
has gone back to her old domestic
and social life.
1t would bother the aggressive
American business woman to better
the record of that mild-mannered
blonde English cousin.

DRIED GARDEN TRUCK.
Water to Serve as Food for
Soldiers.

Dessicated vegetables are coming on
the market for use, especially by pros
pectors and hunters, who are obliged
to economic every ounce in the
weight of the provisions they carry.
Necessity compels them to select such
foods as combine the maximum Of nu-
triment with the minimum of bulk and
avoirdupois. This implies water-free
substances and dried fruits and veg
etables are especially adapted for the
purpose. Of late the war department
has been experimenting with prod
ucts of this kind; it has found them
wholesome and in all respects desir-
able, and is likely to use them largely
in future years.
White potatoes, carrots and sweet
potatoes have been found particular
ly available for dessication. The
sweet potatoes are cut up into little
cubes, while the white potatoes and
carrots are sliced. When wanted for
use they have to be soaked in water
before cooking them; as sold, they
are supposed to be absolutely water
free. What saving in weight and
bulk they represent will be realized
when it is understood that fresh white
potatoes contain so per cent. of water,
and fresh carrots 90 per cent.
Experiments have proved that the
drying process causes no loss of nutri-
ment, and that the product furnishes
most valua BILE addition to the food
of people who are unable to get fresh
vegetables. The dessicated white po-
tatoes are as rich in muscle-forming
elements as the best wheat -four,
though consisting mainly of the
starchy material which is so useful as
fuel for the body machine. The same
thing may be said of the carrots and
sweet potatoes; but notable fact is
that dried eastern vegetables are rich
er in starch and poorer in muscle
forming material than those grown in
California.
These dried vegetables are sold I'M

LONDoN's ANCIENT RIGHT.
at the Coming Coronation of
King Edward,

In accordance with the resolution
which was passed at the election of
the lord mayor claims will in due
course be made "for preserving the
ancient rights, privileges and immu-
mites Of the city of London" at the
coronation of the king. At present,
however, the course of procedure to be
adopted by the Remembrance In fur
therance of the purpose of the reso-
luton is matter of doubt and vague
conjecture. Until it has been definite
ly decided whether the oldtime forms
and ceremonies are to be revived or
abandonment it will not be possible to
draw up the claims of the city of Lon
don. says the Express.
According to the authorities the lord
mayors of old enjoyed the right of
being cupbearers to the king at the
coronation banquets. His lordship of
ancient date, 1t appears, attended the
ceremony with the aldermen and 10
citizens, and at the banquet which fol-
lowed the coronation the chief ma eis-
trate of the city offered the king
cup of spiced wine. This cup was of
gold, and with its cover weighed pre-
cisely 30 ounces. The privilege of pay
ing for the cup and, presumably, the
wine, belonged to the king. and it sub
sequently became the property of the
lord mayor az fee or reward for his
services. 1t is also recorded that at
the banquet the civic party was seated

however, is not enlightening to the av-
erage man of the present day, seeing
that all evidence by which the precise
locality might have been fixed has long
since disappeared.

Twenty Pounds of Salt needed.

Although in treatises on dietetics
salt figures as condiment, it is uni
versally recognized to be something
more; indeed, it is an indispensable
element of the food of man and ami
mails. A well known authority as
serts, says the Medical Press and
Circular, that whenever the annual
consumption of salt falls below 20
pounds per head of the population
the public health is likely to suffer.
The deprivation of salt does not pro-
duce a definite disease, but reduces
the vitality of the organism as a
whole, so that the victims of admin
istrative measures which restrict the
consumption of salt more readily fall
prey to prevailing epidemics, as
well as to endemic maladies.-London
