Those Pestiferous Sparrows.

Mr.. Dearborn says the English
sparrow reduces the number of some
of our most useful and attractive ma
tive birds, such as bluebirds, house
wrens, purple martins, tree swallows,
cliff swallows and barn swallows, by
destroying their eggs and young and
by usurping nesting places. It at
tacks the robin, wren, redeyed vireo,
cat-bird and mocking bird, causing
them to desert parks and shady
streets of towns. Unlike our native
birds, whose place it usurps, it has
no song, but is noisy and vitupera-
tive. 1t defiles buildings and orna-
mental trees, shrubs and vines with
it's excrement and with its bulky
nests.

FRUGALITY ON THE FARM
Seems to Be Generally Recognized
That Agriculturist is Seldom a
Spendthrift.

The simplicity, frugality and thrift
of life in the country, pictured as fol-
lows by Archbishop Messmer, who
evidently is fond of his subject as well
as intimately familiar with it, makes
a striking contrast with the wasteful
extravaganza seen in the cities:
Country life seems to be particu-
larly productive of habits of frugality
and economy. AS a rule, you do not
see much high life on farms; what
there is comes from the city. You
see not many dainties on the farmers
table. A good, substantial meal of
country products, bread of his own
baking, ham of his own smoking, good
water from his own well, and perhaps
some hard cider from his own press
that's all he wants. Economy-did
thrift? He is a are bird. Is it not
to pull a dollar from a farmers pock-
ct? He will give you bushels of oats
or potatoes, a sack of cabbageheads,
a chicken or even a goose, a ham, or
a mutton-leg-all things that you can
not easily take along; but cash, oh,
you must please wait until he has sold
his stock, or grain or potatoes. Well,
let US admit that this may be a little
overdone-the fact remains that coun-
try folks are known all over the
world as a saving class-far more
than city folk. If it happens that a
farmer has got some money, he is
very slow in putting it out on spec
ulation, he is afraid of oil and mining
stocks. He puts it in the bank, or
better still, on good and safe mort
cages. He saves"

Bad Physical Sign.

The sudden cessation of pain is Of
ten as bad a sign as its beginning.
In appendicitis or some other acute
inflammation of the right side of the
abdomen sudden cessation of pain
may be of the grayest import, particu-
larly if not associated with a cores
ponding drop in the temperature or
pulse rate. Under such circumstances
it is an unfailing index of gangrene
or rupture of the appendix or of a
breaking down of the barriers be-
tween an abscess and the general per-
itoneal cavity.

SPLENDID WHILE THEY LAST
New Year Resolutions Are Good
Things, Provided They Are Not of
the Priggish Assortment.

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, at a tea at
the Acorn club in Philadelphia, said
of New Year resolutions:
"They are splendid things-provi-
ded, of course, that they're not prig-
gish. There's a type of girl that
leans to priggish resolutions.
SIN my childhood, I remember, a
little girl came to play with me about
New Years time who was simply in
sufferable.
WHAT the matter with her?" I
asked.
"Oh, said another little girl, she's
keeping all her New Year resolutions;
but he'll be all right again in a day
or so.'"

To Clean Watch Chains.

Gold or silver watch chains can be
cleaned with a very excellent result,
no matter whether they be mat or
polished, by laying them for a few
seconds in qure aqua ammonia. They
should then be rinsed in alcohol, and
shaken in clean sawdust, free
from sand. Imitation gold and plated
chains should be cleaned in benzine,
then rinsed in alcohol, and afterward
shaken in dry sawdust.
