It is a known fact that red squirrels are responsible for the death of very many song birds. Robins suffer great losses of young and of eggs from these animals. This same squirrel helps very materially to extermlnato the graceful gray squirrel. There ought to bo a ban placed on the scalp of animal or rodent. Tho robin has another arch enemy in the new-fangled sprays that are now being squirted over ap ple trees. This work comes just at, or about the time the fledgelings are yet in the nest. Orchards are the favorite haunts of these birds as orchards are nearly always near houses, which has a tendency to ward off inroads of owls and hawks. But the "bullet head" will chase them even to a doorway. Bluo jays, black birds and crows robs tho nests of these birds and kill their young. Tho game law protects ono bird to have another killed.

'Many baso ball fans are wonder ing why the "New York Giants were so anxious to sign Thorpe, tho world renound athlete, especially at such a high figure, his salary being be tween $4,500 and $5,000 tho first year.

The Co. C. & H. basket ball team of Plttston, composed mainly of Scranton players, aro claiming tho championship of Northoastorn Penn sylvania through , having defeated Honesdale, Taylor, Wilkos-Barre, Catholic club ot Scranton, nndApth ors. They do not.however, mefpon, anything concerning the Plttston In dependent team, which team with out a doubt Is superior to them In every way. The Honesdale or "Maple City Five" nearly defeated this Co. C. & H. team on Its own floor short ly before Christmas, Just before the Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: TOO Per Cent Digested Bread made with phosphate ppwder: 68V4 Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67 Per Cent. Digested! These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from them. Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments. Honesdale boys disbanded and would easily have beaten them on the Rink floor. The sport-loving people of Scranton have a warm place In their heart for Christy Mathewson, who consider the great pitcher as a home boy, oven If ho was born In Factoryvllle, and we are not likely to annex that little town, at least for some years to come. Christy is not only an ideal man physically but morally, and has always maintained his high charact er of boyhood to the present day, with wife, children and home, Christy has a clean record of manly sportsmanship in base ball, and I am sure his hosts of friends will be pleased to learn that from a study of the records of big league pitchers during the past twelve years shows that Christy Mathewson leads all the rest. In the matter of control he Is well ahead of his nearest rivals "Chief" Bender, Ed. Walsh, Addle Joss, Mordecal Brown and Walter Johnson. His pitching average since ho entered big league base ball has been a little above .700. In the matter of allowing few hits his rec ord has been excelled by but ono pitcher, "Rubo" Waddell.
