THE COMMON SPARROW.
Ee Is Not Always the Selfish vaga-

The house sparrow has been called
nuisance, a street ga1nin. vagabond,
thief. robber and this by many so
called bird lovers. yet. il my opinion,
he is one of our most interesting birds.
He is lively, bright, thrifty ana brave.
No one. not even his worst enemy, can
gainsay this He is also ever ready

One of the little women whose size

a trolley car when compelled TO stand
gives this advice: IF one will stand
facing the side windows. with feet well
apart to support the body. leaning
slightly to the rear when the car starts,
one may escape altogether any jerking
or even perceptible motion Recently
noticed when coming uptown in a
crowded car the rolling about of the
women in spite of the fact that they
were hanging on to the straps. and
their helpless condition has prompted
me to give this little secret for their

THE BRowELow BILL.

There is now pending in Congress bill
introduced by the Hon. Walter P. Brown
low, of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob Fl.
Gailinger, Senator from New Hampshire,
appropriating $24. 00O. 900 as National aid
for the building of wagon roads, This sum
is TO be distributed to each State according
TO it's population, except that no State is to
receive less than $3.50. 900. The States or
counties receiving this money must add
like amount, so that $4S, 600, 900 will be
expended to the building Of wagon roads,
Colonel BrownIow says that we have
over 200, 900 miles of the finest railways in
the world, more miles of railway than all
the rest of the globe put together, yet we
have the poorest wagon roads of any civil
lied country. He believes that no one
thing will do this country so much good as
the building of wagon roads, as provided
for in this bill. As these are to be built in
every State of the Union, they will be
especially valuable as an object lesson.
Experience has shown that wherever good
roads exist every one wants more Of them.
We have received from State Commission
# Public Roads request to favor this iii
nd we are frank to say that it has our best
fishes for safe passage through Congress.
: We recall that during the last session o.
our State legislature Hon. Thomas NJ
FEE -ell introduced bill to enable New
jersey to take advantage of this meritorious
measure as soon as it should be enacted,
and we verify believe the country press Of
New Jersey can perform greater
service for the good roads movement by
urging our legislators to enact Senator
Ferreli's bill without delay, then New Jer-

avail herself Of this most benefcient meas

The foundation of success with fowls
is to hatch ell the pullets about the
same time if possible or get them out
early at least. I'uIlets of the large
breeds should surely be Matched before
March 10 or not later than April and
those of smaller breeds not later than
May l. Attention is called to this mat
ter, as there is now but little time left
for doing SO. If the hens do not become
broody get a small hundred egg incuba-
Tor and provide place for brooder.
BY Matching as many as possible about
the same time they will all be of the
same age when winter comes and will
also be more uniform in other respects
which will be much better than having
them Matched at different periods. with
some Of them TOO late to mature and
become profitable as winter layers.
Sell or part with all of the cockerels as
soon as they are large enough to be
marketed and thus save cost and give
the pullets more ROOM Western Poul-

how to make a Campfire.

An absurd and reprehensibly destruc-
tive practice is the building of fires be-
meath tree sin order TO get the draft"
says writer in the Springfield Repub-
Iican. The fools that do this kill great
trees for nothing but a campfire. There
is no sense in that wretched practice.
A fire for camp cooking should be built
in the open. and nothing is easier. A
bare rock is the best place, and if you
are to cook by it put up barrier of
loose stone just extensive enough to
make fire as large as kitchen stove
would hold, put fiat stone over these
walls. and you have all you want. You
can fry bacon and your corn cakes and
boil your coffee ON that stone. This is
as good for winter as for summer. And
if you want hot old campfire clear a
space of all combustibles and begin
small. gradually adding stick or two.
and the heat beneath will soon grow so
strong that you can keep it up for as
many hours as you please. But be sure
that you let it get down to the ashes

In order to furnish more definite in
formation about the poultry business
Secretary Wilson recently directed one
Of his men to get together all the facts
available regarding the subject. The
results Of this inquiry present some
surprising facts. According to the lat

fowls on farms is $S5.794.000. About
$l5.000.000 is deducted from this sum
to represent the fowls under the age
Of three months, so that the balance

How 10 Use Tobacco without En5ur-
sing Your Health.


Smoking. according to DR.. Gaze, a
we'll known French physician, is not an
Injurious but healthful habit. How
eyer. you must smoke in the proper
way and according 10 rules. There are
eight of the latter enumerated by the
doctor
The first two apply to cigars. The
latter must be. in the first place. mild,
and. secondly. good
The third rule is always to throw
away your cigar when half finished
ind your cigarette when nearing the
end.
The fourth states that neither cigar
nor cigarette. If it has gone out, must
be lighted second time.
The other rules are:
Never remain in cloud of smoke,
never chew the end of a cigar or ciga-
rette. use a holder lined with cotton
wool to absorb the nicotine, and at
home smoke a pipe with a long stem or
preferably nargile.
All these rules being duly observed.
you may smoke absolutely as much as
you like, and DR.. Gaze says that it will
not only do you no harm, but may do
you good.

this and gives his fowls special care at

The Trenton Times is authority for the

up the records and has discovered that in
1872, the last year in which special, private
and local laws were passed by the Legisla-

numbered eleven, besides half dozen pages.
Last year there were thirty-one officers, ten
pages and lot of extra assistants that ran
the number up to fifty-eight. The Legis-
lature of 1872 passed 439 laws, that of 1908

The trial of John Payne for the murder
Of William Minks, that will begin in our
courts next Wednesday has many distress
ing features-more, perhaps, than usually
attend the trial of capital cases. To the
date of this offense Payne was known as a
peaceahle, law-abiding citizen, loving
and dutiful son, while the victim Of his
pistol was true and upright citizen, with
no stain on his life. The trial will be
followed with deep interest by all and the
outcome, so big with the fate Of this youth,
will be awaited with almost bated breath.
This community is too intelligent and
broad minded to have an opinion of this
case until the testimony is presented under
oath, and sifted by counsel, hence we
forIear any comment on the various YER
sions of the case that are more or less
familiar to newspaper readers. Mr.. Starr
and his assistant, Mr.. Rogers, will conduct
she States case, while Mr.. Swackhamer will
represent the defendant.

COMMISSIONER PRATT RETURNS

LEAVE FOR KAUAI TOMORROW.

Land Commissioner J. W. Pratt, who
returned on Saturday from an official
visit TO the island of Hawaii is by no
means disturbed by the criticisms
which have been made of Is pol cy by
certain Of the papers whose views do
not coincide with his own A recent at
tack was made on him for requiring
actual residence as a condition under
the rgnt of purchase La @, it being
suggested that such a reading of thu
law would drive away prospective set
tiers and cause present holders to aban-
don the holdings which they are seek ng
TO develop.
The wording of the Land Act is all
that / intend to go by" he said when
asked as to his view of the question this
morning. Clause of Section 81 of the
act says: The lessee shall from the
end of the first year of the said term
to the end of the fifth year thereof con-
tinuously maintain his home on such
premises. Then clause continues: He
shall before the end of the said term
reduce to cultivation and have under
cultivation not less than five percentum
of such premises and so on. Now
take that as absolutely mandatory. 1t
means that a man must make his home
on the property and l can see no other
possible construction of the law"
On his recent trip the commissioner
went first to Kawa 'hae thence to Pu-
akO and to Kiholo. He struck inland to
Puuwaawaa and thence across country
to Wiamea village returning to the
coast at Ka waihae
He will leave tomorrow on the steam
