Man. Debt to the Birds.

Boston Globe. - .x : wanton slaughter of these among the most beautiful of Gods creatures too freouently confine themselves to the sentimental aspect of the case. The sentiment, indeed. which they invoke Is powerful and wholesome enough, but 1t by no means constitutes the whole of the argument on behalf or our feath- cred friends. Sciences comes forward to supplement that argument It fur nishes striking proof of the enormous debt that we owe to the birds. One investigator goes so far as to declare in a recent article on the damage that is committed by insect pests that if the destructive insects of the world were to increase tenfold in any year the hu- man race would be deprived of exist \ ence. Among the most effective allies of man in his battle with these minute enemies are the birds.

 The minister whom they sought said the words of the marriage service over them huriedly. He had been awak- ened from a sound slumber to officiate, and by rights he should have been in no happy frame of mind. But he was wise man and a just one, that min ister, and he knew Capitola. Also he recognized a man when he saw one, whether the world branded him as good or bad. so he shut his eyes to the fact that the bridegroom was supposed to be in jail and sent them away with his blessing.
 It was quite two years after that night that the minister received an ill., | spelled letter. It was written from | another State and after noting the fact that the writer had a good farm and was doing well, the epistle concluded: I've tried to do the square thing by the little girl, as I promised you and her l would We have a baby boy.

 The meeting of the committee today was noteworthy in what 1t foreshadow- ed rather than in what 1t accomplished. As a matter of fact 1t did nothing, except look over some route matters and resolve to meet hereafter from day to day.

 Any man or woman who wants soft, glossy hair must be free of dandruff. which causes falling hair. Since it has become known that dandruff is a germ disease, the old hair preparations that were mostly scalp irritants. have been abandoned. and the public. barbers and doctors included. have taken to using Newbros Herpicide, the only hair prep aration that kills the dandruff germ. ID. Dodd, Dickson. N. D., says: ''Herp- icide not only cleanses the scalp from dandruff and prevents the hair falling out, but promotes a new growth.
