WARMEST DECEMBER.
Last Month Broke All Previous Tenn
perature Records.

whether or not 1t was matter of credit
is question for individual opinion, but the
fact is that the old year made its exit
with the distinction of having closed It's
career with one of the warmest Defenders
on record. green Christmas" and a
New Year more akin to balmy spring day
than to midwlnter holiday were features
of the present season, attracting much at
tention from the observing among mankind
in the capital, and now the discussion
hinges on whether or not January will be
equally as warm and balmy.
December, 1905, passed into history with
the ringing of bells and footing of whistles
last night, and might well be characterized
as "freaky'' far as it's connection with
the thermometer was concerned. January
yet has weather history to make, but its
beginning today is said to be unclouded by
hint of coming cold wave.
Probably no better Indication can be given
of the almost spring-like tendency of the
past month than by comparison Of tempera-
ture figures in December, 1904, and Deem
ber 1905.
About half the days of each month were
taken as a fair criterion in a random scan
ming of the records, and 1t was shown that
last years temperature average for the
days mentioned was twenty-five degrees,
while this years was only thirty-one de-
grees. Added to this is 190fs wel1-remem-
bered contribution to the general frigfdity
OF cold wave in which. for days, the max
tmun temperature recorded was six degrees.
The only near-wnter demonstration yet
this year was the snow storm during the
week before Christmas, but all evidences
of that nor wester We're destroyed long be-
fore Santa Claus forwarded his annual con-

A Plague of Birds.
rom the London Graphic.


Birds have never been condemned in SO
wholesale manner by the farming inter-
est as in the latest decision of the Asso-
ciated Chambers of Agriculture. Farmers
in England are as bad ornithologists as
American farmers are good, but 1t is new
ertheleSs true that the balance of nature Is
becoming seriously upset Protection of
nests has so helped the unsecretive black
bird TO multiply that growing fruit has in
places become sheer altruism. The spar
row prospers in spite of sparrow clubs.
Starlings are become an Overwhelming
plague by reason of their unaided vigor
in the struggle for existence Few who
have studied economic ornithology can
doubt that repression of these feathered
friends" is a present necessity. But the
protest against rocks and larks cannot be
readily Endorsed. The Hupgarians the
best economic farmers in the world, are
all IN favor of the rock. and he does not
multiply in England. The dietary of the
lark. in quality and In quantity. has for
sentimental reasons been less infinitely
studied, but in spite of the enormous fiocks
of larks sn many OF the shires, we know
no instance of serious damage and until
the case against them Is proved to the tilt
they should be left unhurt even by the
most Jealous farmer.

MOTHER TONGUE.
Comparison Of English Spoken in
England and in America.

England and in America.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The shafts launched at Mr.. Henry James
yesterday during a meeting of the Modern
Language Association of America, In ses-
sion at Haverford College, were baTbed
with wit and not little justice. They do
not nevertheless, destroy the unfortunate
vitality OF the contention that the speech
OF Americans is inferior to that of Eng
Iishmen.
1t is not a matter of the comparative
merits of the differing English and Ameri-
can standards. In the particulariues of
usage our own rule is as frequently as not
to be preferred. Different from is as
good as different to- in accord with as
lin accord to- under the circumstances
as in the circumstances;' ''as soon as he
came" as directly he came" The English
mans failure TO distinguish In pronuncia-
ton between the verb and the noun
prophecy Is lamentable; his hard gene
SIS" and his soft schedule" are to our ear,
an inversion of prOpriety, and his enmfty
toward the Italian In figure Is ma
tional horror. We may say ''yaniller, but
We couldn't possibly be guilty of ''hgger.'
But the speech of England is immeasur-
ably superior TO that of America-gentle-
men of the Modern Language Association
viii not deny tin this-namely, that
whereas Americans, even educated Ameri-
cans, are careless in both grammar and
pronunciation, sHp-shod, easy-going, and
prone to every coHoquial short cut, the
vast majority of Englishmen speak with
precision according 10 a we'll tablished
national standard
The meat of the matter IS in the fac: tina;
we of America have no pride IN or care
for correctness of speech. We never dream
of judging a mans education culture
from the manner in which he speaks. We
are not surprised 10 find the same verbal
faults upon the lips of college presidents,
men of letters or of affairs that we have
heard from the untaught. There even lin
gers among us suspicion of too great ele-
gance of speech, as If heartlness and vigor
could not comport with refinement. And so
we go on torturiDg all foreign ears and
