There is so much to see and enjoy here and there is so much of the discomfort of the crowded seaside resorts and the sweltering east to be avoided by remaining at home. There are the pine-clad hills of Yavapai and Coconino counties. Hundreds of residents of Phoenix and the valley spent last summer at Iron Springs, Pres colt and Flagstaff and in the White Mountains, the most de- lightful hunting and fishing ground in the United States. They re- turned home far better physically and financially than those who took long and uncomfortable eastern journeys or who joined the seething mass at the beach resorts or spent their days and nights in stuffy stifflipg rooms in the coast cities.-Phoenix Repub- lican.

A few days ago rather bashful young woman walked into a store carrying three chickens. She in- quired the price of chickens and at the same time put them on the counter.

The Obsolete Cobblestone.

There is so much common sense
about the appeal of Seventh street mer.
chants that the cobblestones on Sew
enth street north oi Mount Vernon
place be replaced with asphalt or some
equally good material that their re-
quest ought to be granted without great
reluctance on the part of Congress.
Upper Seventh street is fairly rep
resented to have no need of cobble-
stones now. Its wheeled traffic is not
of the heavy kind that once made cob
blestones a suitable, perhaps neces-
sary material for the roadway. Present
conditions are such that the cobble-
stones, far from being an advantage.
are distinctly a disadvantage TO the
street because they actually deter tra;-
fc, and lay upon the residents and mer-
chants on the thoroughfare the nearly
unbcarable distress which the traffic
that cannot avoid Upper" Seventh
street makes in its noisy and labored
passage over the arduousIy rocky high
way.
The Seventh street property owners
and proprietors complain, and not with
out justice, that they have not received
from Congress a propcrtionate share of
the benefits that have been conferred
upon the District of Columbia. This
Seventh street paving question affords
Congress a fine opportunity to help that
thoroughfare, one o; the great high
ways of the Capital.

The Postofhce Department has de-
eided to ntests the desirabili.y of put
ting mail boxes on street ears running
between Laurel anc Washington. just
why it is called test is hard to ex-
plain, as the system has been in vogue
in several cities for years and gives
universal satisfaction to the people, if
not to the street car company.
For example take Grani Rapids.
Mich. a manufacturing city of 10000
population. In that place every street
car has two boxes. one at either end,
so that when special stops are made
for those who desire to post letter
the time lost is reduced to minimum.
Street cars are also used in that city to
run between the postoffice and the rail-
way station, the car entering the post
office building saving time in trans
ferring the mail and also giving it
more protection.
With mail boxes on every car in the
city and central point near the post
Office for collection and transfer of the
mail deposited, such a service adds
wonderfully to the value of the postal
system. 1t saves time, which is money,
not only to those who use it for busi-
ness purposes, but the people generally.
There is no question bur that the
street car companies of Washington
would make contract with the gov
ernment for the use of its cars for
such purpose and once such sys-
TEN is introduced it never will be aban-
doned.

Ornithology and Ethnology.

A flock of blackbirds, SO fond of lit
tie old New York that the usual migra-
ton TO Palm Beach and other Southern
resorts did not tempt them this winter,
joined a crowd of pleheian sparrows in
aerial battle yesterday and completely
routed those unpopular individuals of
the foreign element of feathered life
in America. The blackbirds killed six
of the sparrows, and their throaty self
gratulations over the results of mob
violence were so soulful as TO indicate
they will invoke Judge Lynch again if
the opportunity offers.
From the point of view of mere man,
who now only dreams of warning
against his fellow in the upper air, the
sanguinary victory of the blackbirds in
duces the reflection that the blackbird,
by becoming a permanent resident in
stead of fashionably seasonal So
journer of the Northern States, will lose
all title to that once highly poetic des-
ignation, Harbinger of Spring, and be
no more factor of Genealogical
prognoses than a jaritor 1t suggests,
too. that perhaps the English sparrow,
which no apologize has yet been potent
TO excuse from the general indictment
of superfuous pestiferousness, may be
done away with by the roistering black
bird.
If the struggle must be maintained
upon the principle of the survival of
the fittcst, the conflict between these
birds will be similar in kind to some of
the ethnic conflicts by which the his
tory of the world and its peoples has
been made and changed and remade.
The race is not always to the swift;
nor the battle to the strong The rich
est. fercest, and strongest tribes some-
times have been depleted to subjection
and destruction by the, unfailing forti-
tude and frugality OF a race whose any
single virtue ef courage. or prudence
or honor would not suffice to preserve
it from its predatory enemies. The
persistence of the tiny SPAR
row may defy the voracity of the black
bird.
The issue of this modern drama of
the birds. therefore, will be awaited
with a national concern. II cannot
reasonably be requested that the Smith
sonian Institution will send party to
observe and report upon the struggle,
but it is not irrelevant to ren6nd the
metropolitan press that it owes to an
expectant nation the duty to acquaint
the people whether this fight was a
