500 sPARRoWs IN CHURCH
They Filter and Twitter During Ser
vices and Won't Go Away.

Philadelphia.-It is no. every church
that. can have a bird chorus in addition
to it's regular choir and it's congrega-
tional singing. While it cannot be
said that Bethany Temple at Fifty
fourth and Spruce streets enjoys this
distinction, yet it is true, nevertheless,
that the services each Sunday morning
and afternoon are accompanied by the
singing of 1900 English sparrows.
When the Bethany temple was
erected it was intended to have plenty
of ventilation and light. To enhance
these necessities to health great win
dows, with many small panes Of glass,
were built just under the cornice and
extend along both sides Of the edifce.
It was while these windows were
being put in place and after the roof
had been completed that the birds
made their entrance to the church. The
'workmen paid little attention to them,
thinking they would 90 out as they
came, but the birds are still there.
They nest up on the big joists that
brace the roof, and during the day fly
about the church, keeping up a contin-
ual twitter. $
Evening services are never disturbed,
for the birds have gone to nest and
the church singing evidently does not
arouse them. During the morning
service and the Sunday school session
in the afternoon the disturbance is
marked.

INDUSTRY AND THRIFT
Reflected in the Growing Deposits In
New York Savings Banks.
Boston Transcript.

We hear SO much nowadays of popu-
lar extravaganza and the corresponding
decline of the good old habit of thrift,
that evidence of our people giving
thought against the rainy day is re-
freshing when it is encountered. And
it is encountered much more frequently
than most persons suppose. Take the
recent report of the savings banks OF
the state of New York as an illustra-
ton of popular prudence and we find
that these institutions at the close OF
business Of the year 1905 had 2,569,179
accounts; and that their resources were
l.4O5. 500, 9O4. This item showed an
increase of $193, 000, 900 in the year.
There was one savings bank account
to every three inhabitants of the state.
The aggregate of deposits made during
the year was 1881, $50 ,65S, an enormous
sum testifylng to the strength OF the
savings bank habit.
Such figures are interesting and IN
structive at all time, but particularly
SO at present, when we are currently
said to be living in an EZRA OF hlgn
prices They show that these prices
are not inconsistent with savings by
working people, who constitute the bulk
of the depositors. AS they are indus
trious workers and must be to accumu-
late spare cash, it seems evident that
they cannot have denied themselves
anything essential to their physical
well-being. They must ave ee como
are difficult of indication, for every
branch of trade has been busy supply
ing a widespread demand. The con-
clusion is that the mass of steady, sober,
industrious workers save on a plan
which carefully apportions expend-
itures to needs and always keeps IN
view a margin Of reserve for the saw
ings bank.

ODD CARGO OF DEAF FLIES
New York American.

@ .EHE E&EE y - E#
strange cargo a vessel from Brazil u n
loaded at the London docks Dead
flies are admirable food for chickens,
birds in captivity and captive fishes.
But there being no flies to speak of in
England, those in search Of this del
icacy for their animals have to send to
Brazil, where there are flies on every
thing.
The river Amazon abounds with flies.
Brazilians float down the stream in
boats and scoop in millions of the flies
which circle in dense clouds just above
the waters edge. The flies are killed,
dried thoroly in the sun and packed in
bags. They are then shipped.
Dead flies constitute one of the rich
est of foods for animals. For chickens
the flies are mixed with other ingredi-
ents, such as millet and corn. BY them
selves the flies are too rich, but their
power of nourishment is SO great that
a small quantity of them has a most
beneficial effect.
Two years ago the Brazilian govern
ment stopped the expectation, being
afraid that the fish in the rivers would
suffer by being deprived of this fly
food. But the prohibition has been
removed.
Formerly dead flies sold at 10 cents a
pound, but the demand has grown and
the supply SO lessened that 80 cents q
pound is now charged. One ton of
flies fills a large room, as there are only
fifteen pounds Of flies to a bushel. =
