WornTonLy killing birds for mere sport
is an evil” far greater than most people
are aware of, Few sportsmen think of
the great evil they are doing when shoot-
ing birds for sport. No one should be
guilty of such cruel sport, for birds are
too valuable to be killed for the purpose
of furnishing amusement. for sportsinen.
Michelet, the great French naturalist
and historian, says that “without birds
men could not live on earth nt all.”
The seeds of one species of thistle alone,
if allowed to propagate alone unmolested,
would be sufficient to choke the whole
vegetation of the globe. The services of
the finches, feeding as they do on the
seeds: of these and other mischievous
weeds, are of incalculable value.
Talmage says, “There 58 only one
wéapon that has ever been found power:
ful enough to wage successful war on
whole species of destructive animaleulae,
and that Is u bird's beak.” 'If men would
only remember this our orchards. vine-
yards and wheat-fields might be safe
from noxious insects and’ a myriad “of
small but destructive animals;
A well-known fruit-grower says, “I
provide nesting-places in my orchards
and vineyards, and thus have birds so
near my caterpillars and so far from
house-morsels that thev eat the pest
greedily.” At certain seasons—when the
grapes are very ripe-—-you nay need to
protect your fruit, but at all other times
the birds are destroying myriads of in-
sects.” %

plause of the free trade candidate. A
dispatch from London said:
“Phere is everywhere great enthusiasm
over the result of the American election.
Advices from Wales state that the tin
plate workers held a jubilee, and at Brad:
ford many remained up uuntil late yester-
day morning waiting to hear the figures
from America. There has not been such
excitement in a long time in the industrial
centers of Great Britain. At Glasgow,
Belfast and other industrial centers there

the United States being opened for more
liberal if not free trade.”
The St. James’ Gazette, a leading Tory
organ, declares:
“Phe English may he content for the
present. They know that the party
which openly boasted that it would rain
our manufactures, and which conferred
high honors ‘on Patrick Egan, has sus-
tained a shattering defeat.” ;
The Pall Mall Suzette tells the British
public that “Mr. Blaine's shameful at-
tempt to rouse the animosity of Irish
Americans against Great Britain has fall-
en flat and has profited him nothing.
‘There may even be some hope for Tam-

«The Quiet House."
0 MOTHERS, worn and weary,
With cares which never cease,
With never time for pleastre, |
With days that have no peace,
With little hands to hinder,
With feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie unfinished,
Deem not your lot too hard.
I know a house where childish things
Are hidden ont of sight— .
‘Where never sound of little feet
Is heard from morn till night— :
No tiny hands that fast undo,
That pull things all awry—
No baby hurts to pity
As quiet days go by.
The house is all in order,
And free from tiresome noise—
No moments of confusion—
No scattered, broken toys;
And the children’s little garments
Are never soiled or torn,
But are laid away forever
Just as they last were worn.
And she, the sad-eyed mother,
What would she give today
To feel your cares and burdens,
To walk your weary way!
;. Ah! happiest on all this earth
_ Could she again but see
The rooms all strewn with playthings
And the hildren Jonna her knee!
