is USEFUL ALLY OF FARMERS
PloVer Destroys Various Insects That
Damage Crops, Is Assertion Of
English Publication.

OF all our birds the plover is abso-
lutely the most useful on the land,
and we have the authority of the
board of agriculture for saying that
.the multiplication Of insects injurious
to crops" is the direct consequence
of the fashion for plovers' eggs.
The bird destroys snails, wireworms,
beetles and all sorts of noxious in
sects that damage crops. AS 1t feeds
largely at night 1t destroys many in
sects that other birds do not touch,
and it has also a peculiar virtue in
killing a water snail which indirectly
is the cause of liver rot, deadly dis
ease in sheep.
Plover have been more than usually
numerous this year, and no doubt If
their eggs were protected, as in Scot
land, they would multiply yet more
and save many thousands of pounds
that are now spent on the fattening
of the wireworm. 1t is becoming also
a more popular practice to keep lovers
as a garden pet. They do incalculable
good and are very interesting to
watch, especially al this season.-Lon-
don Daily Mail.

above figures nearly every third person

there are almost seven thousand more

as mixed" there are still larger pre-
ponderance of females there being eX-
actly 1875 more mulattresses than
mulattoes.
The total population of the six pro
vinces is as follows: Piner del Rio,
240,372; Havana, 53S,010; Mantanzas,
239,S12: Santa Clara 457 ,431, Cana

recapitulation of the figures reveals

large number of male foreigners in Gu

males over native males. A census
of Cuba was taken as early as 1774
which showed a population at that
time OF only 171.620. In 1877 the pop

Partisan Sage is the discovery of

who knowing the value of sage as
scalp cleaner and hair restorer, COM
bined it vita other ingredients in pro
per proportions and the result is the
most wonderful hair tonic in the

Partisan Sage is a most pleasant,

Gov. Hramon, in welcoming the del

Dr. c. J. HeXameyer, of Philadel-
phia, president of the Alliance, in his
address said in part: AS devoted
citizens of this country, we hold our
selves second to none in devotion to
the cause of true temperance, but we
bitterly oppose the passage of any
law that destroys our personal liber-
ty. The right to drink our wine
and beer, we consider as absolute as
is the right to buy any other food.
I'VE Commandments have never
allowed our love of food or drink to
degenerate into intemperance or to
interfere with the good of the commu-
nifty, and we regard prohibition as an
unrighteous invasion Of our manhood
rights and human freedom.
THE mildest form of prohibition

pie. Let us stand that the spirit of
liberty and American fair play will

icism is spreading over the land.
