PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
England Is Far Ahead OF America In
Preventing Ravages on the
SOngsters.

The protection of birds has been
carried so far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the ravages of thrushes,
blackbirds and bullfnches. These
winged beauties work great mischief
in gardens and orchards, says the New
York Tribune.
American readers of British books
recall with pleasure vivid descriptions
of the diversion of shooting young
rocks in the early spring with short
range, smaH-bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rock pies
cooked by experts. But it now appears
that the English rocks have not been
thinned out With sufficient thorough

ness, and these birds do harm to va
rious farm crops.
East of the Mississippi in most of the
states north of the Potomac and the
Ohio the protection of birds of every
kind has been much underdone. We
have no rocks or ravens here, but it is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.

Pork and Cancer.

Many English doctors are now con-
WINGED that the eating of pigs flesh
in different forms is greatly respon-
sible for the increase of cancer. They
point out that it is most common
among the poor. whose chief meat is
that of pigs, while the disease is ex-
tremely rare among the Jews.

The Prohibition Ticket.

The Prohlbitionists of the State
held their convention at Gettysburg
last week, and named this ticket:
For Judges Of the Superior Court,
M. H. Stevenson Of Allegheny county,
and Herbert T. Amos of Lycoming;
Auditor General, Elisha Kent Kane, Of
Mexican county; State Treasurer, H.
ID. Patton, Lancaster county.
The resolutions ar exceedingly vol
luminous and denunciatory. They de-
clare for suffrage without distinction
of sex and denounce the new libel
law In unmeasured terms. Nearly all
the crimes IN the category are charged
to the old parties and the only saliva,
ton for State and Nation, it is declar-
ed, is to be found in the principles of
the Prohibition party and their enact
ment into law.

AN OVERWORK cd JOKE.

The Hazleton Sentinel in speak
ing Of the indignities to which
newly married couple of that
city were recently subjected says
the joke is being overworked. And
so it is. All fair minded people
will concur with the Sentinel when
it says:
From throwing rice to designate
the wedding pair aud tying gro
tesque things to the wedding bag
gage, the joker has developed new
ideas, some of which must be de-
cidedly Objectionable to sensitive
woman, to say nothing of the man
most interested. 1t may be funny
to witness the annoyance OF mar
ried pair who are pointed out 10
disinterested persons as deserving
object of merriment, but the truth
is that the wedding joke has been
overworked and the average spec
tator has grown tired of it. He
wonders what kind of companions
the wedding pair have when at
home. What is meant in spirit
of harmless amusement has also a
serious side. The conspicuous
position young woman occupies
in a marriage ceremony is enough
without adding anything that
makes her the subject for ridicule.
At the supreme moment in a
woman's life she is entitled to the
kindly consideration of her friends
and the friends of her husband.
She deserves any thoughtful assist
ance that will divert her attention
from the publicity she must attract.
Of course to some persons it is
humorous to annoy sensitive
young woman and make her the
target for the eyes of the thought
lessly curious, but in this day of
common sense every man should
have about him enough genuine
chivalry to shield rather than to
mortify the young wife. 1t is time
for the offensive wedding joke to
be stopped. If it ever had an ex-
cuse it has long ago ceased under
the boisterous and embarrassing
liberties taken in its name"

NEW USE FOR ALFALFA.

A. new use has been discovered for
alfalfa. The stems when dried fur
nish an excellent substitute for tobac-
co in cigar filters. A factory in Oak
land. California is putting a cigar on
the market that deceives the most ex-
pert smoker. The stems are cut in
lengths and stepped In a decoction Of
tobacco for several days. They are
then subjected to a heavy hydraulic
pressure which extracts every particle
of moisture and leaves an agreeable
flavor. There Is an entire absence Of
deadly nicotine, and cigars can be put
on the market with a profit at a very
low figure.
