It would be very wrong to class the
English sparrow with the enemies of men.
It is true it is the most common of
birds and naturally would be killed oftener
than the rarer birds
The English sparrow has not coloring
which is pleasing to the eye, SO the people
as a general rule, think less of it.
It is estimated that if for twenty years
all sparrows born were to die of nothing
except cid age, there would be one sparrow
TO every square inch.
If this should happen the sparrows

Neeessary for GOOD Shelter.

The birds must have access to
shelter during the rainy weather. A
thorough soaking when they are
nearly bare of feathers, is apt to re-
suit in an attack of roup, or cause
chill that may throw the bird
back for weeks. But the hen that
gets through the mott early and
quickly will almost invariably prove
good winter layer.

in the Jail yard; he might appear at
window; she might be admitted to the
prison. In the first two of these she
was disappointed and all her applica-
lions to gain access to the interior
were refused until a prison inspector
came to the inn who the next day was
to inspect the prison. Louise secured
an introduction, fiattered him and
begged that she might send a written
account, censored by him, of the treat
ment of the prisoners. The official
seeing an opportunity to influence
American sentiment, turning it from
the Current reports of barbarous treat
ment, consented.
The next day Louise went with the
official to inspect the prison. In time
they passed Ellsworth's cell. He was
sitting on STOOL pale, detected, ema-
ciated, reading a fragment of a news
paper. He did not look up. AS the

gave her the opportunity she desired.
She carried what seemed to be
lady's bag for the purpose of holding
handkerchiefs, pOrtemonnaie and such
articles Instead it was kodak she
had had constructed in New Orleans.
In a twinkling it had snapped, and she
had Ellsworth's picture.
The prisoner sat unconscious that his
old camera companion was looking at
him and that she had the proof re-
CURED to set him at liberty. The party
passed on, and that evening Louise
showed the official a report of the in
spection, which he approved at once.

appeared at the prison where he was
confined. The deputy was armed with

read that he was to see the prisoners,
and if the counterpart of the photo
graph was among them he was to be
at once sent to Havana. When Els
worth's cell was reached and COM
parisOn made, there was no doubt that
the photograph was his.

was taken direct to the governors pal

case and he was released. Turning to

PARSNIPS FOR SPRING USE.
How to Care For the Roots During the
Winter Season.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker wants to know the best meth
cd of caring for parsnips so they may
be placed on the market in early spring
before the ground thaws up. He Is
told by the editor to select a piece of
ground naturally dry, or if this is not
available drainage must be provided
lower than the bottom of the pit to
carry off the water. The pit is usually
dug from three and One-half to four
and one-half feet deep. six to eight
feet wide and of the length required.
The roots are then packed in, in
narrow sections, two to three feet wide
across the pit, up to the level of the
surface. Leave Il space of six or eight
inches between The sections, which is
filled with earth up to the top. This
leaves the pit filled with alternate sec
lions of roots and earth.
This plan is of considerable advan-
tage, as it is in fact series of small
pits holding from four to six barrels
each. which can be taken out without
exposing the adjoining section. as it
is protected by the layer or partition
of soil between. The parsnips will
keep better when in small lots than
they will if a large lot is placed in the
pit together Cover with earth twelve
to eighteen inches deep, rounding off
the top so rs to shed the water. pack

approaches cover the pit with about
