Tree Sparrow.

Man could not have lived without
the bird, which alone could save him
from the insect and=the reptile; but the
bird had lived without man. '-MiChelet.
= HE problem of insect and weed de-
suruction is of economic interest to
every tiller of the soil. He must
recognize the agents who are daily and
hourly at work checking an ever-abun-
dant harvest of seed and insect pests,
thereby assisting in the successful Gull
tivation Of the vast acres necessary to
supply our 10000 coo of souls with veg
etable sustenance, and which, without
the aid of birds. would fall far short of
its present enormous output. The vast
army of incOnspicuOuS SDarrOWs are
among our most helpful servants. and
an intelligent recognition of their ben
efits and rights should be more widely
observed.
Although not entirely devoid of Ger
tain reputable qualifications, the Eng
llsh sparrows, like a good many of our
unfeathered immigrants. are objection
able in that they occupy territory that
might we'll be devoted to a class much
more desirable both from a social and
economic point of view. To me it has
always seemed a pity that these little
foreign fuss and feathers have not
been given a. distinctive title that

than fair to state that in the matter of

not entirely taken up with urgent pri-

General kuropatkin is a crac.

of war, during tour of inspection
he visited Sevastopol and strolled

a contest, and the minister accepted,
each to fire ten shots with a revolver
at fifteen PAGES, the target being a
piece of white cardboard about the
size of a small cigarette case. With
a revolver, the general put all his
ten shots into the target, to the
complete discontinue of the other
competitor, and when a similar tar
get was put up ten PAGES farther of

ORDER FOR A CENT
PosToEFIcE DEPARTMENT DREW
A SMALL ORDER FOR A NEW
HAMPSHIRE MAN.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July ~
The Postofice Department has drawn
a warrant in favor of Adriel L. Stu
art, Of Freedom. N. H.; for one cent.
This is Stuart's pay for carrying
the mails for four years from Free
dom to a railroad station v and
three-quarter miles away. He trav-
els this distance of fifteen and a half
miles, six times a week. His pay is
a quarter Of a cent a year, or one
three hundredth and twelfth part Of
a cent for M trip. This is the small
est treasury warrant ever issued, and
Stuart will have It framed instead of
cashed. He bid this low figure be
cause OF the prestige which the sign

in his passenger carrying business.
