Drunken Sparrows,

A lady who kept some hens to SUD- ply the table with fresh eggs and fowls experienced considerable diff culty in feeding her flock of laying the sparrows came in droves at feed ing time and devoured the grain which she threw to the poultry.
 She was telling her troubles to a netghbor, who in all. kindness, informed the lady she had read a remedy for just such a difficulty and she found the paper. which told that bread crumbs soaked in alcohol for some time and placed where the sparroWs would find them would kill the birds in a short time after the crumbs were devoured.
 Resolved to try the experiment, the lady purchased a pint of alcohol and soaked lot of bread in it and placed the tempting morsels where the spar rows would be certain to find them.
 In very short time about half a dozen sparrows came and, after scrut- inizing the food carefully, ate part Of it and suddenly new away.
 The lady, who was anxiously watch ing results, was highly gratided for a few moments, for she supposed the sparrows had gone off to die.
 But her surmises were wrong, for in a short time the birds returned, ac- companied by several dozen others, and the entire flock consumed the al- coholic food with a relish. The an tics of the birds as they chattered and flew about in great glee were side splitting.
 Their jollities continued fo rover an hour, and not bird died or seemed to be any the worse for his experience with the doctored food.
 For several days the sparrows re- turned frequently. as if expecting an- other such treat. but the lady's moral sense would not permit her again to be the cause of flock of sparrows getting on big drunk.
 It is very evident the few which first tasted the feast were not con- tent until they invited all their friends to the generous repest. and their en- toyment was plainly manifest in their tntoxtcated t1ttlee.-Tit-Bits.

The Quiet That was London's.

The motor-horn and the taxi whistle have banished the rather surprising reputation for quiet which London held among many foreign visitors a decade or two ago. In 1896. again the Lon don of the early nineteenth century was described in John Ashton's When William w. Was King" as "a very noisy city, evidently in contrast with the comparative silence of his own time. But the noises he conjured up from the past the matchman's call, the ehrieks of the milkwoman
 the chimney sweep, the newsboy and the vendors of fish and cats meat, the bells of the muffin man and the foot man-were as nothing to the piercing mechanical noises of today.-ExchanSe.

She swept out with a great dangling of silver,'' said the girl who likes to talk, and I twisted my neck off to look. Her escort remained as dim and shadowy as his voice had been. He really didn't matter anyway-an that was going to happen to him was that he was going to be led under a rose shaded lamp and tormented into blurt- ing out a proposal to her and she would refuse him in great surprise and bewilderment.
