The Pestiferous Sparrow.

After many years of resigned suffering
the inhabitants of the suburbs OF all
American cities begin to see the utter
folly of the introduction into this county
of the English sparrow. They were
brought here about 80 years ago to de-
stroy the many injurious insects that in
fest the fruit orchards, as we'll as or
namental trees in public parks, but 1t
seems that the birds have become a
nuisance, and it is now clearly seen that
American birds would do as much good
ia this respect as the sparrows, were 1t
not that the latter have practically taken
possession of the cities, have run the
domestic bird from its usual haunts, and
in manv cases have entirely obliterated
several species of the beautifully plumed
song birds. The disappearance OF the
thousands of wild pigeons that used 10
migrate bienuially through the forests
of the country have been attributed 10
the English sparrow, and the scarci ty
in cities of the robin, pewit, blueoird'
oriole, humming bird and other varieties
are said to be due to the presence OF the
snarrOw

Sat on His Lap.

For sitting on the lap of man, Mrs.
Mary Walsh, of Camden, n. j., was
held in 5000 bail yesterday. She
weights more than 800 pounds. Harry
Carle, her victim, weights 40 pounds
His friends advised him to pr,ng
a charge of attempted murder. Al
though believing he could not have sur
yived had Mrs. Walsh sat much longer,
Carle said the facts did not warrant
more than charge of assault and bat,
tery. Justice Barr was undecided
whether sitting on man LAP constitut'
ed assault, but as Carle insisted that he
was suffering from the effects OF his ex'
perience, he decided the case was one tc
90 to a jury. According to Carle, who
lives at 999 Pearl street, he tried L
prevent Mrs. Walsh's son from making
q noise in front of his house. Later Mrs,
Walsh appeared, when he was on hii
front step, and threw her 800 pounds in
to his lap.

JAPAN,s PROGRESS.

Rev. n. G. Murphy, for the past 10
years a missionory in Japan, delivered
an interesting address in the Methodist
Protestant Church at Denton, Nd, last
night. She speaker said:
Japan, with an area not much greater
than California, has population OF 46, =
OOO 900, and an annual increase OF 5OO,-
600. They are an industrious, frugal
people. tilling every available spot.
Nothing is wasted, the usual waste in
an average family Of five in America be-
ing sufficient to feed like sized family
of Japanese. Religious freedom isgrant-
ed under the constitution. There are
now about 600 missionaries there, in
cludiug the wives ofmissiOnaries. There
is population of $4,000 Catholics and
55, 900 Protestants. Missionaries are
kindly treated in comparison with few
wears back, and especially is this true OF
missionaries from England and America,
these countries not being suspected by
the japanese as being hostile. The
public school, inaugurated about 4O
years ago, was the simplest, and yet one
of the most perfect systems in the world
not a free system, and yet 80 ap-
preciated that SO per cent. OF the
children attend school, even the man
who pounds rice at y cents per day
finding the means with which to educate
his children. Telegraph and telephone
are in the hands of the government,
hence message might be sent by either
means anywhere in the empire, however
distant, for 10 cents. The police system
is so perfect that lynch law is unknown.
Train holdups never occur, and property
is absolutely safe. There are at present
l3 Christian members Of the Diet, or
House of Representatives. The Japa-
nese have a keen sense OF honor and
moral obligation. In the years to come,
when the history of japan shall be writ
ten. the Lresent Emperor will be reck-
oned among the greatest rulers, all
things considered, the worlu has ever
known"
Referring to the present conflict with
Russia, the speaker said Japan has
never been defeated, and she will win
in the present conflict. This, for the
perpetuation of the empires national
existence, as well as the spread OF
Christianity in the East, seems neces-
sary."
Rev. Mr.. Murphy was originally from
Dorchester county. He is in the foreign
field under the Missionary Board OF the
Methodist Protestant Church, and will
sail for Japan October 3.

further onto some stone and wa'
