RUSSIAN CONTROL

Since AZ early q date AZ 1901 the
taxation Of alcohol. In ono form or

check drunkenness and to promote

the peasantry has always gone the

MIR. AND MRS. SPARROW.

Daddy, tell me something about the
BIRDS" said little Ethel one night.
THE story will be about Mr.. and
Mrs. Sparrow. who lived under the
caves of great big house.
AT this big house there was teie-
phone. and that was why the Sparrows
liked to live there, for when Mira.
Sparrow wished to call her husband
ali she had to do would be to peek
lightly at the telephone wire, and the
chances were that he was somewhere
along the line and would hear her.
Then. again, their home was near the
telephone wire as 1t entered the house,
and when he had something special for
her he would peek the wire also, and
she would hear and follow the wire to
where he had caught nice big worm
for her.
1.-THE greatest fun the Sparrows had
was when they heard the telephone
bell ring. They would hop on the
wires, and as the words came roll
ing along the wires Mr.. and Mrs
Sparrow would jump up ana down
just as I used to when we saw big
wave coming In the ocean.
Every time the little girl who lived
in the big house came to the telephone
the Sparrows used to love to get on
the wire. because her stlvery voice
made the wires tingie, and they liked
the feeling on their tiny feet
what fun they used to have. Looh
out, now Mrs. Sparrow would "a,
when she heard q big word coming
Jump high, for here comes big one.
Then Mr.. Sparrow would laugh
and they would Jump high In the all

their feet BY and by Mrs. Sparrow

the nest. and Mr.. Sparrow told he,
stories, and some time will tell
them to you"

Amons the Pioneers.
Time measuring instruments Of pre-
cision were the forerunners of all the
delicate machines OF science. Ever
since man has navigated the seas be-
yond the sight of land he has needed
in order that he might tell his iongi-s
tude with reasonable correctness. In
f7I4 the English government 0ffered
l 10000 pounds sterling to the man who
would devise a thermometer so accu>
rate that longitude could be told
within thirty miles. and descending
reward down to half as much for the
/ person who could tell it within sixty
miles. In 1855 John Harrison. son OF
q Yorkshire carpenter, claimed and
/ was given the. highest award. Nov
chronometers are made which are ~
accurate that they will vary only Il
! few seconds in weeks. Tho usual bait
tleship carries three ehronometers ana
the mean time OF the three Is taken ~

There are machines In common NJ

them being required to fill an or1i-
nary thimble. Yet each Of them must
] have a perfect head and a perfect
thread. They are u4ed as screws for
the fourth jewel wheel OF a watch.
! All of the operations with them are
done more by the sense Of touch than
of sight, and 1t Is marvellous how acs1to
the human sense of touch may ho-
| come. Some. time ago a bicycle mAuu&
facturer brought some balls intended
for ball bearings to matchmaker to
show what perfect specimens he had
produced. The matchmaker mid
they were not round and wa&4red
that he could point out three depre1-
