uesday well Drowned from their 10 days
outdoor work. The Vermont regiment
earned the name of 1.-THE GalOping First
because of time made on a forced march
while working out a problem Monday
afternoon.
The Maine regiment was designated the
Red army and was given the task OF
preventing the Blue army, the Vermont
regiment under command of Col. }. Gray
Estey of this town, from destroying
stores at Sterlingville, three miles from
camp.
The Vermonters got out of camp and
took up their appointed station being
followed shortly by the boys from Maine
who also assumed their allotted position.

where the stores were located, leaving
Major Thomas and two companions to
defend his rear. The Red troops engaged

a few moons. When time was called the
Vermonters were judged by the umpire
to have accomplished their aim

cadet scouts was used by Col. Estey to
good advantage. as the mounted men
were able to locate the enemy and allow
the placing of Major Thomas and his two
COMPANIES where they could make good
stand This rear guard fight was a heavy
one and presented a pretty sight TO the
spectators, among them General Grant
Both regiments were given much praise
for their work by the umpires
The work of the First Regiment band
was appreciated on all sides and was
highly complimented At the close of
one of its concerts General Grant called
Leader F. c. Leitsinger and expressed
his great pleasure with the music stat
ing that the band was the best he mad
heard at Pine Camp.

A Sparrow Trap.

and vines In the garden 1t eats seeds
as they ripen, and nips off tender
young vegetables as they appear
above 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
martins, tree swallows, cliff swallows,
and barn swallows, by destroying the
eggs and young and by usurping the
nesting places. 1t attacks other ia
familiar native birds, as the robin,
wren, red-eyed vireo, catbird, and
mocking bird, casing them to desert
parks and shady streets and towns
Unlike our native birds whose places
1t usurps, 1t has no song, but is noisy
and vituperative. 1t defiles buildings
and ornamental trees, shrubs, and
vines with its excrement and with it's
bulky nests.
The evidence against the English
sparrow is overwhelming, and the
present unfriendly attitude of the pub
lie toward it is reflected in our state
laws. Nowhere is it included among
the birds that are protected.
Though sparrows may be driven
from a given neighborhood, the relief
thus obtained is only temporary, and
has the further objection that the
nuisance is simply transferred else
where More drastic action is there
fore preferable.
The box illustrated is designed to
be hung on building or a tree. It's
floor should be about six inches square
and its height at the caves about
eight inches. The roof should be
hinged at the top for removing the
eggs or young. Such boxes may be
built of rough boards at slight cost
BY distributing number of them
about orchards, shade trees, and opt
buildings, and catching the sparrows
that occupy them, or by destroying
eggs, the work of determination may
be carried on at season when other

A Brocade Blouse

Now is the time to use it, II you
have any rich piece of old brocade re-
posing in an old trunk. r
Can't you manage to have 1t matcJ
your velvet or broadcloth skirt sd
that you may wear it as the French
do?
They cover it with chiffon of the
exact shade, or they bring it into har-
mony with the skirt by the use of
varying shade of chiffon.
No trimming is used. no pleats are
present. The neck line is slightly
low, the sleeves reach TO the three
quarter mark. Around the neck and
sleeve edge there appears the merest
line of plain velvet as a finish. This
is elegant simplicity: and, although
chiffon is not easy to handle. it will
be found less difficult because of this
lining of more heavy brocade.

THE PROPER PINE TO USE
FOR COUGHS AND COLD

Many pine extracts contain resins
causing nausea and cramps. For most
reliable and quickest results in curing.

formula: Get two ounces of Glycerine
and half an ounce Of Concentrated
Pine compound. Then get half a pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into it. Take a teaspoonful
to tablespoonful of this mixture after
each meal and at bed time" But be

in tin screw-top case. Any druggist
has 1t on hand or will quickly get it

HOW ENGLISH SPARROWS
CAN BE DESTROYED
Small Cunning, Destructive and FiIthy-Very
"a be Said Favor.

In its economic relations the Eng
lish sparrow among birds is compar-
able to the -at among mammals. 1t
is cunning, destructive. and filthy.
This sparrow was introduced into A
merica about 60 years ago, and is now
distributed generally over the east
ern half of the United States and
southern Canada and locally westward
to the Pacific coast. This rapid dis
semination is result of the birds
hardness, extraordinary fecundity, di-
versity of food, aggressive disposition,
and almost complete immunity from
natural enemies through it's sagacity
and it's preference for thickly settled
communities.
It's natural diet consists of seeds,
but 1t eats a great variety of other
foods. While much of it's annual fare
consists of waste material from the
streets, in autumn and winter it con-
sumes quantities of weed seed, and in
summer numerous insects. The de-
struction of weed seed is undenia-
bly, in the sparrow's favor.
On the other hand, much can be
said against the bird. 1t destroys
small fruits, as cherries, grapes, pears,
and peaches. 1t also destroys buds
and flowers of cultivated trees, shrubs,

The Spanish breed of fowls has long
been popular in this country and in
Europe. Their symmetry of form,
graceful and proud carriage, as well
as beauty of plumage, have made them
favorites of poultry fanciers, while
their value as egg producers has placed
them among the most desirable breeds.
Their flesh is of very good quality.
Their eggs are large and white, larger
than those Of any other breed, it Is

The White Faced Black Spanish is
the most important variety of this
breed, and 1t is also the most COM

Spanish male is about seven pounds,

Woman's Work Well Done.

Half forgotten by public whose
ears rang with her praises two genera
tions ago, and approaching the time Of
life when rest and reflection are con-
sidered appropriate, Ida Lewis, the
keeper of Lime Rock lighthouse, still
attends to her important duties as
faithfully and capably as at any pre-
vious period during her SO years resi-
dence on the rocky island. Daily she
pursues round of labor which would
exhaust a much stronger woman, and
there is never an hour throughout the
night when she does not consciously
awaken, attentive to the red glow
which assures her the light is fulfilling
its mission. Most impressive of all,
perhaps, in her long tale OF service, is
the fact that she has spent only a
half. dozen nights off the rock since
she became keeper in 1s79.-Put-
