Birds Farmers, Best Friends.

Examination of hundreds of stom- achs of birds, taken in different To- calities and at all seasons, painstaking scientific observations of the birds habits by trained experts, have now for many years been establishing, be- yond question, the fact that they are one of natures most effective checks on the undue increase of insect and rodent pests.
 In the early days, the days before we had scientific study of the habits of birds, the connection in the popu- lar mind between birds and the sow ing of seed principally took the form of speculation as to what proportion of the sown seed or its product the birds would get. Crows and black birds were observed to pull corn. The fact that some kernels were left in the hill uneaten did not suggest to the farmer that it was the cutworm that the crows were really after, not the corn.-B. S. Bowdish, in Chris tian Herald.

AmerlcanlSm m the Making.
 Almost anything you can think of, 1t is said, can be seen somewhere in that long, cratic historic street that strays upward from the point of Manhattan island, cutting across the streets and avenues of the worlds largest city at its own sweet will. Something once seen there by MT. J. B. Kerfoot, the author of Broadway, indicates that the enterprise, the daring and adapt ability to new conditions that were characteristic of the early settlers in America are still characteristic of the people who are crossing the Atlantic to our shores in the twentieth cen tury.
 One day, says MT. Kerfoot, I saw an Italian peasant woman, fresh land ed from the steerage and dressed fin all the fete-day regalia of her native province, chase Broadway car for half a block in front of the post of flee. She caught up with 1t from be- hind when it stopped at Park place, and failing to notice the entranceway, grasped the brake handle of the rear platform, threw a sturdy, red-stock- inged leg over the rail, and swung her self aboard with the satisfied air of having successfully surmounted one of the early difficulties of the new coun- try.
 Broadway smiled, collected her fare, and went on about its business.- Youths Companion.

Watering House Plants.

Plants should be watered with a spray, not with a cup or a glass. Those that can be moved should be placed where the water will not dam age carpets or floors; those that can not-such- as large ferns or palms should have something spread on the floor beneath them to catch the water as it drips. The water must be sprayed from above so that all the caves receive it; this carries off the dust and is the only natural way for 9 plant to receive water.

reports indicate that they are well
recovered from the effects of their
disa greeable experience.
