How Things Are Started.
To give an idea Of how attempts are
made frequently to start the war de-
partment going" with stories about
West Point. it should be said that in
connection with this General Barry
matter. which was trivialty in itself.
it was said the affair at the academy
was the most tremendous disciplinary
breach in quarter of a century and
that the only thing which equaled it in
the history of the government institu-
ton was when the cadets OF rs years
ago managed to haul the reveille
and sunset gun up 10 the top
of the barracks and there discharge
il. to the smashing of few win
dows and the breaking OF many
regulations.
The class of 1880 wanted in some
way to mark the incoming Of the year
of their graduation. So its members
resolved to have a celebration at the
stroke of twelve at midnight of the
New Year January l. 1880. Now this
affair at the academy. instead OF be-
ing a mere matter of taking cannon
on the roof and firing it of, was really
a terrific outbreak of noise, confusion
and regulation breaking. Some mem
bers OF the corps had been given a
Christmas leave of three days, and
on their return from New York they
brought to the academy large guam
tity of fireworks. which they hid in a
convenient place after they landed at
the dock. Later these fireworks were
transferred TO barracks and hid In
mattresses and from that time until
the night of December 81, the eve of
New Year. great many cadets slept
on yeritable mines.

English Sparrow as Food.

One of TIE expert biologists OF
the department of agriculture. Mr..
Ned Dearborn. says that the Eng,
fish sparrow is pest, a thing
which hardly needed repetition. and
that one way to get rid of them is to
eat them.
Mr.. Dearborn has issued a bulletin
telling how to trap English sparrows.
how to shoot them and how to cook
and eat them. He says that sparrows
as food compare fayorably with the
best kinds of smaller game. Years
ago some one tried to induce the peo-
pie of the congested districts in the
cities to eat English sparrows.
One can learc from the agricultural
department if the members should
choose 10 write about it or tell about
it that there are scores OF animals
in the United States which no one
thinks of eating and yet which are
perfectly delicious food when properly
cooked Can anyone imagine a man
eating a skunk? And yet a skunk
properly prepared is by no means to
be despised 1t is said that the edi.
bility of the skunk was learned by an
experimenter who noticed that great
horned owls were very fond of skunks
and that they would catch them. kill
them and eat them in preference to
rabbit So one experimenter tried the
skunk and found that the meat was
better than that OF the rabbit.
A great many people know that the
muskrat is good eating The govern
ments scientists found this out a long
time ago and they have written bulle-
tins about the muskrat as food 1t has
been found that the name rat destroys
peoples appetltes for this creature.
In the markets of Baltimore and oc-
casionally in Washington muskrats
are sold in large quantities, but are
they called muskrats? No. they are
called marsh rabbits.
