SPARROWS ARE BIRD PIRATES
Troublesome Pests Are Accused Of Ap-
propriating Nests of Songsters for
Their Own Use.

Sparrows build their nests in the
cave troughs, causing the cutters to
overflow, the water gouging out val
leys in the lawn. They also build
their nests behind window blinds and
generally muss up the, house and
grounds. These troublesome pests can
be somewhat subdued with sparrow
traps. .
While mans complaint is severe
against the sparrow, song birds are
said to have a more serious one to
make. The .sparrows are accused OF
throwing the eggs Of other birds out
of the nests, also the young, and pre-
empting the nests Of other birds for
themselves. " '.'. -.s -
Sparrows make good potpies. This
may not sound good, but party with
appetites that result from a days
tramping through woodland streams
for trout sat down to bird pie for
dinner. No one knew the kind Of bros
the pie contained and various gaEe
birds were suggested. Some "o]d
sports were positive they could not he
deceived. The landlord was noncom-
initial. Many weeks afterward another
party of guests learned the truth: 1t
was sparrow pie that the first party
had so greatly liked and they enjoyed
the joke at their friends expense, but
were careful to make no comment and
to ask no questions regarding the
meals they enjoyed. .",'' -

Cats Hard to Train.

It is a remarkable thing that al
though the cat is as much domestic
animal as the dog, it is not capable
Of being trained, except to very linn
tied extent. Almost any dog, no mat
ter how poor the breed, can be taught
a number Of tricks; in fact, the breed
seems to make no difference; but fine
breeding has no effect On the. cunning
of cats. They are not stupid at all,
but they seem determined not to learn.
It will weary the most patient boy to
try to teach a cat to sit up, which a
mongrel dog will learn to do in half
dozen lessons; and such tricks as
walking on two legs, fetching and car
rying, and SO forth, are quite beyond
the average cat. This seems more
strange, since we know that the cat,
both savage and domestic, is noted for
it's native cunning, and not lacking in
bravery. Indeed, there are few ami
mails that will tackle cat in corner.

The story of the marriage was totally
false-but it is, in sense, true. Lit
orally it is false. Morally it is true.

mo, this is the solution" explained
Emmanuel. Seven years ago, when
she was a girl of sixteen, Miss Digby
went, with a girl friend Of hers, to
Harmony Hall, to hear an itinerant
hypnotist-a veritable charlatan, one
of those men who travel round the
country, exhibiting the very ordinary
phenomena of hypnotism to a gaping,
ignorant public. The man invited
Miss Digby to become one Of his SUBJ
jects, and, like a silly child, she was
persuaded. He easily placed her I'M

her perform foolish antics, for the
amusement of the spectators, and

what Scripture says about marriage.
Miss Katherine, in her deeper per-

A box on the ear ought to have

could reach the spot, to my unuttera-

with grin.

Melton, grinning. 'Now, Miss, sleep

asked regretfully.

"Why not?" asked the other, and I
could see that he was worried by a
sudden thought that occurred to him.
''Ill tell you afterwards" answered
the quack. "Are you ready for me
to begin?"
Emmanuel nodded, and Melton
stepped up to the girl and sat down
on another chair which he drew up

the while Miss Katherine sat perfectly

quietly. .,

looked round at us. ~
"You see, gentlemen, another day

the girl again.
"Your marriage wasn't any mar
