A Plea for the Sparrow.

Ordinarily, the sparrow is not an in
sect eater, but it has most hospita
BILE crop when 1t C ONES to the various
pests of the flowers. For that reason,
among others, the farmers rose gar
den suffers small hurt from the vari-
Gus troubles that for long years seemed
to infect it. Nowadays he pays no at
tention 10 the red and green spiders
and the little green lice that are sure
to make their appearance at a critical
period in the roses spring history, for
he has come to know that the sparrow
will do his work for him much more
effectually than he could for himself.
The sparrow is prompter than the
most energetic bill collector, and he
cleans the bushes leaf by leaf and bud
by bud with the utmost patience and
industry. And so with the sweet peas.
When their small enemies appear-and
they make their appearance with the
first buds-the sparrow is waiting for
them, and with a cheerful industry,
worthy of emulation. cleans the vines
and tender flower shoots, and puts
them in order for those who would
otherwise have a great deal of trout
BILE with them. and all the pay he asks
for is to build his nest in the cutters,
or in the caves. or in the corners of
awnings, you have only to lower and
raise them up agsin-and before you
can eat your dinner the nests will be
replaced more snusly than before. Such
is the merit of industry and genuine
optimism.-Joel Chandler Harris in
Uncle Remus's Magazine for March.

Could We Live on Mars?

1.-THE physical conditions on Mars
are In many ways intermediate be-
tween those found upon the earth and
the moon, and it seems plausible that
the life existing upon it should SINH
larly be of higher type than that
found a t present on the surface of the
earth. Even If the physical condi-
tions, as we understand them, We're
equally favorable with those on the
earth, civilization would by no means
be a necessary consequence. Had it
not been settled by Europeans. the
United States would still be.a wilder
ness. How much less should we has
ten to accord civilization to a planet
OF which we know little, except that if
we we're transported there ourselves
we should instantly die. Prof. w. IL

Boston. March 4-Nothing has done
no much to arouse the people of Bos-
ton as the immense number of people
who have been relieved of various dis
eases by a preparation known as Coop
per's New Discovery.
This preparation is being introduced
in this city for the first time by L. l.
Cooper, the young philanthroplst' VINO
has made and is making a fortune os
its sale. The medicine is prepared at
Dayton. Ohio, and is sold for various
forms of stomach trouble. 1t is no"
being sold in Boston in such enormous
quantities as to have caused general
discussion by physicians thruout the
city. =,
& Cooper claims that nine -tenths OF all
the ills of mankind emanate from
dfsordered stomach, and htated early
disordered stomach. and stated early
would overcome all such troubles as
kidney and liver complaints simply
by restoring the stomach to norman
condition.
A reporter who spent an hour at
Cooper's headquarters, secured state
ments from number of people VINO
had tested this theory. The following
story was related by VIM. II. Short.
an engineer employed at the Hotei
'Touraine. Boston, and living at Hall
street. Medford, Mass. and is similar
to all the rest Mr.. Short said:
For long time | have been
troubled with distressed feeling
after eating. Frequently had spells OF
excessive vomiting. Gas formed on
my stomach and 1 was troubled with
heartburn and the usual symptoms
that accompany dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Ny stomach would bloat and
the abdominal area would expand un-
til was in agony.
"I did not know what was the mat
ter with me, and the doctors were as
ignorant regarding my trouble as my
self. Nothing 1 tried gave me the
desired relief.
Il was attracted by the accounts OF
the work of Mr.. Cooper, and concluded
to try his New Discovery medicine.
experienced almost immediate relief.
and since taking several bottles of
this preparation I am feeling like
my old self again and life now seems
to be worth the living. I will always
have warm spot in my heart for Mr..
Cooper and his remarkable medicine"
These statements and others like
them go far toward accounting for
Coopers immense success here and
elsewhere. So far every claim made
by the young man seems to have been
verified.
