occur to you that mans life is full

into the world without his consent
and leaves it against his will and the
trip between is exceedingly rough.
The rule OF Contraries is one of the
features of the trip. If he is poor he
is bad manager if he is rich he is
dishonest; if he needs credit he can't
get it; if he is prosperous everyone
wants to do him favor If he is re.
ligious he is a hypoCrite; if not re-

KILL THE SPARROW.

The government has Just issued a
bulletin telling how to destroy the
English sparrow. The bulletin de-
clares the sparrow is a positive evil
and should be destroyed for the good
of society.
On the other hand, much can be
said against the bird. II destroys
small fruits, as cherries, grapes, pears
and peaches. 1t also destroys buds
and flowers of cultivated trees, shrubs
and vines. In the garden it eats seeds
as they ripen, and nips off tender,
young vegetables as they appear above
the ground, peas and lettuce being
especially subject to attack. 1t dam
ages wheat and other grains when
newly sOwed ripening and in shocks.
1t reduces the numbers of some of
our most useful native species, such
as bluebirds, house wrens, purple mar
tins, tree swallows, cliff swallows, and
barn swallows, by destroying the eggs
and young and by usurping the nest
ing places, 1t attacks other familiar
native birds, as the robin, wren, red
eyed vireo catbird, and hooking bird,
causing them to desert parks and
shady streets of towns. Unlike our

The suggestion made by a visitor
that the city will save considerable
later expense of tearing up pavement
by seeing to it that all piping to be
needed in the future, by way of water
gas and sewer connections, are pro.
vided for in advance by making the
connections up to the curb, is an idea
along the proper channel. Tearing
up the pavement makes it uneven
causing wagons to jolt bit and, grad
ually pulveriZing the bricks, to finally
undo the pavement in the affected
spot. BY completely preparing against
this in advance, the pavement will be
saved. The connections could be
charged against the property, where
they are city connections, when the
property later got ready for installa
ton.

"A fellow feeling makes us wondrous
kind" There is nothing like similar
experiences to make men tolerant. In
one of the rural districts of Pennsyl-
vania a large touring car containing a
man and his wife met a hay wagon
fully loaded in narrow road. The
woman declared that the farmer must
back out, but her husband contended
that she was unreasonable. But you
can't back out with the automobile
so far" she said, land | don't intend
to move for anybody. He should have
seen u.s." The husband pointed out
that this was impossible owing to an
abrupt turn in the road. II don't
care" she insisted, II won't move if
stay here all night. The man in the
automobile was starting to argue the
matter when the farmer who had been
sitting quietly on the hay interrupted,
Never mind old man." he explained,
"Ill try to back out. I've got one
