In the United States Court at
Cotington Judge Cochran over
ruled motion to quash the indict-

growers of Grant county for yio-

family objected to balancing their food
upon their laps. She also explained that
the little side table was used as a stand
for the big green wicker tray, which the
maid brings out with her at 3 O'Clock every
day that the sun shines This tray, though
II has a glass bottom. underlaid with an
odd piece Of cretonne, is as light as a

is particularly proud.

ENGLISH SPARROWs.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
thought I would tell you how the English
sparrows got TO this part Of West Virginia.
They could not fly over the Appalachian
Mountains because they are too high and
too cold for birds to fly over. and they did
not know the way around One time papa
went to Philadelphia on a trip and saw
a great many sparrows there The people
told him they were the very best kind Of
birds to keep the worms and bugs of
trees and out Of the garden He then went
on TO Baltimore. where ne saw some for
sale, so he brought four dozen sparrows
and a dozen bluebirds.
When he got home he fed them and left
them alone for a while. But when he
went back he found that the sparrows had
killed all OF the oluebirds. He then let
them loose and they few away. Papa now
says: Il wish I had never brought them
here. They don't do anything but quarrel
and fight and drive the other birds away"
In the winter I saw two redbirds on the
front porch. I got some crumbs and put
out for them but they few away, and
some sparrows came and ate the crumbs
UP. Each day more came. One day there
were twelve. Last summer q sparrow
built her nest in the vines over our porch
Soon there were four little birds. and when
the mother would bring them worms they
would make an awful noise ali squalLng
for the same worm. Respectfully,

THE SUN GODS FESTIVAL.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: When
we were travelling in India We happened
to be staying in the city of Jeypoor While
the festival to celebrate the birthday Of
the sun god was going on. They believe
him TO be very powerful, and think he is
either good to them, sending good harvests.
or cruel, and destroying their crops with
his fierce rays. So in the spring they get
up a grand procession and go to his tenn
pie and pray TO him to be merciful and
conslderate. We enjoyed that procession
better than any circus procession we ever
saw, and il would take too long TO de-
scribe all the native princes and other
things we saw. First, they went to the
temple of the sun god. who came out TO
meet them in a kind Of a chariot drawn
by pure white ponies. He was an image,
a bout two feet high, with wax face In
front of him there was a Hindu tanning
him. so as TO keep him from melting or
being annoyed by the flies. After the pro-
cessicn had passed we went 10 visit the

LIE SEWERS oF PALS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Some
time ago I spent a summer in Paris, and
among other places Of interest I visited the
sewers which are very queer. II is said
that Napoleon III hid his army in them,
but this has never been proved. The en-
trance is like q subway station, and at the
foot of the steps is a platform, moored
against which is a string Of red, fat-bot-
toned scows. Each scow has four men. in
rubber trousers, who push boatloads of
passengers through this underground pas
sage. The sewage water is about three
feet deep. and every little way are small
sewers which empty into the big one.
The boats are pushed along for perhaps
a mile and then a halt is made In front
is an enormous pipe of fresh water, and on
the pipe is small car track, with train
of two-seated cars on IT. Beneath is the
sewage water but in less amount than in
the former place. There are many smaller
drinking water TO all parts of the great
metropolis. This car track takes one

Enemies of the Birds

is why every bird lover. says Mabel Os-
good Wright in the last number Of Bird
Lore" should make a point of hunting out
the crow haunts in his neighborhoOd and
destroying the eggs as soon as laid OF
course. even crows have their feelings, but
their behavior is not to be endured.
These black fellows are so warred upon
by farmers because of the damage they
do crops, that to those who don't know
their ways it seems strange they are not
exterminated. But though they look so
stupid, they are really very wary and
