and to ripe fruit. For each quart OF
fruit consumed by the black-headed
gosbeak it destroys in actual bulk
more than one and a half quarts
of black olive scales, one quart of flow
er beetles, besides o generous guam
tity of coddling moth pupae and can
kerworms. So effectively does 1t fight
these pests that the necessity for
its preservation is obvious, while most
of its injury to fruit is prevent
able.
A permanent drinking and bathing
place on the farm and In the garden Is
to be numbered among the most po-
tent attractions for birds, and with a
little ingenuity one can be prepared in
almost any locality. Winter feeding
serves to attract the cardinal, which rel
ishes corn, sunfiower. and other seed.
and takes kindly even to table scraps.
If particular premises prove congenial
as winter home. the bird is likely to
prefer them in summer.
No effort to attract the grosbeaks
will succeed. however, unless protec-
ton is assured. Grosbeaks are already
protected by law in practically every
state. but, since the machinery for
the enforcement of the law is often In
effective. statutory protection must be
supplemented by individual action. par
ticularly under the trespass laws.
Such action has long been taken in
behalf Of game birds. and the wise
landholder will take equal precautions
to preserve the smaller insectivorous
species which he is SO fortunate as to
have as tenants. Shooting and nest
robbing must. Of course. be barred
Squirrels, when allowed to become too

worst enemy of birds is the prowling

Present investigations prove that
the services of grosbeaks in destroying
insect pests are invaluable. Each kind
pays special attention to certain pests
which IL unchecked would cause enor.
nous losses. Few Of our birds are
to be credited with more good and
with fewer evil deeds than the gros
beaks. and none more clearly deserve
protection by the practical farmer.

Ended Cats solourn.

Felix Smith of Easton, Pa, bought
a cat the other day. He paid IS for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer-Because she
was guaranteed to be good ratter.
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full of 'em!
And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;
that's the curious part of 1t. After
the cat had been on the job week
the rats were as plentiful as ever.
Felix couldn't understand 1t until one
evening he concealed himself in the
basement to watch the cat. About 8
p. m, as the cat sat with her eye on
a rat hole, Felix says that rat after
rat came out of the hole. walked up
to the old cat, kissed her goodnight,
and then returned to the hole. After
that Felix kicked the cat out of the
house.-Boston Post.

INDUCES CRAVING FOR DRINK
WeII-known English Ego Specialist
Advances New Reason for Whisky
Habit In Poor Eyes.

It is a queer theory which is now
being put forward in explanation OF
drunkenness. If you suffer from eye
strain-astigmatism run the risk
Of becoming a victim Of the whisky
habit unless an eye specialist is con-
suited and glasses obtained to suit the
defective sight.
Every many people who think their
eyes are quite all right are really
astigmatic," a well-known English eye
specialist declares, land take no steps
to remedy the defect. The result is
that they suffer from mental and phys
ical exhaustion. eliminating In In
tense headaches. and often leading to
a nervous breakdown.
"They find by experience thaA
nothing alleviates these symptoms so
quickly as brandy. and. when the pain
becomes excessive. or the inability to
work properly gets almost insuper-
able, they drink brandy. usually with
soda water When the effect Of tho
brandy wears of there is a reaction,
and the symptoms recur with greater
violence, and more Of the spirit 10
taken.
"As time goes on a greater guam
tity is needed to stimulate the system
up to working point. and at last you
get to that state when man can only
do business successfully when under
the influence of alcohol.
"That state, of course. does not
last, for in due sequence chronic alco-
holism has made the eye-strain suf-
ferer unit for anything but course

the same man again. And not for
one moment has the eye-strain been
relieved, though the results have been
evanescently deadened.
What should have been done. Of
course, was to consult an oculist, who
would have given a prescription for
spectacles. Then the victim would
have found himself able to work well
and only get healthily tired at the end
Of the day.
"The fault very often lies not in the
individual eyes, but in their inability
to focus properly together. The focus
ing muscles in their effort to remedy
this are strained. and in consequence
give rise to general fatigue.

became so Ill that he had to undergo
an operation.
"Surgically this was a success. but
he did not recover at all well as re-
CARDS his general health. and the med
ical man who attended him could not
say why he was SO slow.
"The man In six months was. how
ever, in his opinion. fit enough to re,
turn to work. But he was attacked
frequently by fits Of nervous exhaus-
ton, found brandy relieved them, and.
at last, took to carrying a flask Of the
spirit to Danish them.
Luckily for him. his doctor at last
noticing his eyes looked strained and
suspecting trouble there. sent him to

INCREASE IN NATIONS 7RlNK
OF Distilled Spirits t65,ooo,ooo Gallons
Consumed, 100000 More
Than Last Year.

simultaneously with the announce
ment that our total population In the
homeland and Its colonies has passed
the 100000 900 mark, comes another
official announcement which causes
d thrill of a different character. Ac-
cording to the figures Of the internal
revenue bureau, the fiscal year lately
ended has been marked by the largest
consumption of liquors ever known in
this country. OF distilled spirits 1885,
O00, 900 gallons have been consumed.
being 3O,000,000 more than last year.
During the same time. 59.4s5,117 bar
rels OF fermented liquor have been
consumed, being an increase OF 3,000.-
900 barrels. For many years we have
been gathering to ourselves vast
foreign population. For the last half
decade, our annual immigration has
averaged three-quarters of million
at the port of New York alone. This
big army of newcomers has brought
with It the drinking customs of the
old world, and 1t will not be until the
second generation that they can be
hopefully converted to the modern
scientific temperance view. Another
cause of the increase is that our gov
ernment still allows liquor to be car
ried into and through dry" states.
regardless of the will OF the people.
thus spreading the evil Of intemper-
ance.
These figures. startling though they
are, need give no cause for discour-
agement. The increase, as We have
shown, is more apparent than real.
The fact remains. and should not be
forgotten. that nearly 100000 of our
population are living under temper
ance laws Of their own voluntary en-
actment-a larger number than ever
before. Thus, though the evil itself
grows. the remedy grows at a still
more rapid rate. Scientific education
in our schools concerning the nature
and effects Of alcohol must be pushed
vigorously in all the states. Our
churches and temperance organiza-
tions get together and work harmon
iously for this common end.
