Don't Kill Bob White.

Tbaacrnithologists cf the Depart
psrtment of Agriculture have been
making an investigation Of the eco
nom;c Bob White, as a result of
which it is now announced that that
bird is "probably the most useful
abundant species on the farms"
FELL observations, experiments
and examinations show that it con-
sumes large quantities of weed seeds
and destroys many of the worst
insect pests with which farmers con-
tend. and it does not irjure grain,
fruit, or any other crop. It is fgur-
ed that from September ! to April
80, annually, in Virginia alone, the
total consumption of weed seed by
Bob Whites amounts to 573 tons.
Some of the pests which. it habit
ually destroys, thereport says, are the
Mexican boil weevil, which damages
the cotton crop upwards Of Sl5,OOO'-
900 year; the potato beetle, which
cuts OF s1O,OOO,OOO from the value of
the potato crop; the cotton which
havs been known to cause S3O,COO, :,
900 loss in a year; the chinch bug
and the Rocky Mountain locust
scourges, which leaves desolation in
their patch and have caused losses
to the extent of s1OOOO0,0Oo in some
years.
The report urges measures to Sc
cure the preservation OF the Bob
Whites in this country.

Lazy Baptist.

The above may not be correct
expression but if it is not I hope
those wrongfully accused will par
don me. I have just returned from
an Union meeiig held with the Lex
ipg.on Baptist church, and am sorry
to cay that ouly a little over one
half cf the churches in our division
were represented. It seemed at first
as if the meeting would have to be
postponed for lack of representatives
suficiect for a quorum. However,
the few We had present so ably dis
cussed the queries assigned that any
one wound have been glad for having
spared little time to attend that
Union. Even a non professor, We
feel assured, felt that the Spirit Of
God was present and gently guided
the work. And [ must say right
here that the people who compose
the Lexington, Baptist church have
been wonderfully blessed by the
Lord By sending to them the pastor
who is new their teacher. The
church above referred to seems to be
full of energy and life-far more so
than my church, I am sorry to say.
The Lexington Baptist church. if my
memory serves me right, consists Of
38 members: we have on the rcll Of
our church 1873 names. but the Lex
ington church is doing more for the
Cause than We are.

Perdic icaris and EarIey, Or fos tie
raany other depred.tlcus which t e
baud has committed.
4 took Secretary TIay Just long
enough to read The terms for him to
decide that they were as mpertinent
as they were impossible, aid consul
Gumme-e was cab.ed to say IS II uch
TO he sultan.
The next news from Perdicaria
wss a threat from Raisuli that unless
his terms were promptly complied
with his cepti7es would be killed.
again the Washington government
sent a pointed and forceful reply;
Rear Admiral Jewell, commander-in-
chief of the European squadron,
who he'd just arrived at the Canaries,
was ordered to sail OF once for Tan
gier and join Admiral Chadwick in
the harbor there.
When the guns of seven American
warships were froTning upon the
lily fortified town of Iangier and
the Washington government was ii
a position to back up it's dem snds
with force, Secretary Hay, by a
clever diplomatic stroke, held his
naval force in allegiance and obtained
the active assistance Of the French
government. whose position in Mo-
rocco is far stronger than that Of any
other foreign power. Mr. Porter,
our am AMBASSADOR at Paris, was directed
TO request the French government
that it use its good Offices to obtain
the release of the American captive
Strong hopes are felt here that the
pressure which it is known France
will bring to bear upon the sultan
will induce hin to get hold of
Raisuli and come to some sort of an
arrangement with him by which his
captives will soon be released.
France is anxious to do thia, for the
reason that she wishes to prove the
strength of her position in Morocco
and the efficacy of her Monroe doc
trine over that territory. A British
American expedition to the mountain
fastness of Morocco on a police mis-
sion would prove a severe blow o
French prestige. Even more ANXIOUS
is the sultan to secure the release Of
the csptivea, for should be fail Great
Britain and the United States would
put him down as incapable Of main
taiuipg order in Morocco and foreign
Intervention might be- expected at
any time.
TIE probable release of Perdicaris
will not relieve the sultan from the
responsibility of maintaining better
order in his country, for as it is now
the foreign residents are to constant
danger of being kidnapped and in
case the ransom is paid in R,isuli
the brigands will only be encouraged
to kidnao other foreigners.
