How He Killed The  Sparrows.
A. M. Besimer, who on Monday took
237 sparrows to City Clerk Mills, for
which he received $4,74, has devised a
great scheme for making a wholesale
slaughter among the little feathered
Englishmen. He started out early inthe
morning and scattered wheat soaked in
alcohol about the streets. A little
while later he went around the same
territory with a small grip and picked
up the slain. He says none of the other birds common in ihe city will touch
tbe swollen wheat grain. Robins and
blackbirds, he charges, ore worm-eating birds and do not eat grains, while
chippies eat smaller grains, but avoid
wheat. Chickens aud pigeons "will
only experience a harmless jag.
The alcohol soaked grain, however,
does not always kill, but soems to afflict
some of the birds with a beastly fit of
in^oxioation from which they in time
recover. One morning early a small
boy brought to City Clerk Mills a few
sparrows. They were counted, rolled
up in a paper aud left under a tree in
the yard for burial. A few hours later,
when the paper was disturbed at the
interment, four of the sparrows flew
away.^Argus.

HOUSES BUILT IN TREKS,
Ilcxv  Guinea   Clairns.  tho    pisttnetlou   of
FnTniȣrJng[ This *(7p!<*fue Spectacle.
Man was indubitably at one period of
his, existence an arboreal animal. He
had much to do with "the trees of the
garden." In some places and as represented by some races he still lives
among them.
The natives of New Gninea climb
like monkeys and travel for long distances from ono tree to another witlionfc
descending to the gronnd. The birds
build little ffvirylilje cabins on the
ground, bnt the people construct their
Jionses in tlie top of the tallest forest
trees. First a native, having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
eak tree he has selected, begins "by cutting off some of the branches the right
length to support a platform of bamboo
V>u -which his house is to rest. Yon
would wonder how he could do anything
with the tools he uses if you should see
them. He has no saw or steel edged ax,
but only a sort of tomahawk made of
stone and knives of bone or hard wood.
When, however, he has in some way
managed to get the limbs of his tree so
cut and fashioned as to support his
house, his hardest work is done.
The house itself is soon built and i§
made of bamboo strips and thfjt«he^
with palm leaves. All pftrts gi<& firmly
lashed together \vit^ sfripg of rattan
palm, n Yery- Vwgh "?Sae, nsed by the
nativi^ \n plage of ropes. It is not a
large hpnse, though it sometimes con-
tf>iii9 several rooms, but it is a safe and
secure retreat for the women and children in case of a sudden attack by hostile tribes.
The honse is reached from the ground
by a long ladder or inclined plane, made
of woven vines. In case an enemy appears the ladder is drawn up, and the
man and his family and the pig are safe
within the house. The elevatiog *fiot}
only secures the household, from wild
beasts and from {he anf;§ that roam the
country, geeking what they may devour,
^t ajsg frpin disease germs, which, liko
{hope pf yellow fever, do not rise above
a certain level. The breeze, too, 'rocks
iho house gently, liko a cradle, and seta
the fresh air info circulation, making it
delightfully refreshing after the sultry
heats below.
If you should climb the long ladder
and peep in at the door, you will find
the family, perhaps, all asleep or sitting
about the floor eating yams, cocoanuts
and bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots or poultry. You
will find (here no pictures, toys orplay-
things, gHoii as even lhe poorest children
jiineng \;g possess; no music and no
books, no furniture in the room, not
even a bed and no mats on the floor.
Many a true built nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortablo
for the little ones who are bom in it,
and is far prettier than the rude huts of
the wild men of .New Guinea.—Philadelphia Inqmrer.

This from the soul incorrupt whom Athens
had doomed to the death.
When Crito   brought promise  of   freedom:
"Vainly thou spondest thy breathl
Dost remember the  wild Corybantes?   Feel
they the Imif o or the rod?
Heed they the fierce summer stm, the frost or
winterly flaws?
If' any entreat them, they answer, 'We near
but the flutes of the God!'
"So even am I, O my Crito!   Thou pleadest a
losing cause!
Thy words ars but sound without Import—I
hear bnt tho voice of the laws,
And, know thou, the voice of the laws la to
me as the Antes of the God."
Thus spake that soul incorrupt, and wherever,
since hemlock was quaffed,
A man has stood forth without fear—has chosen
the dark deep draft—
Has taken the lone ono way, nor the path of
dishonor has trod—
Behold, he, too, hears but the voice of the laws,
tho flutes of the God I

THE  EOPHONE.
By Which, the Direction of Sonnd May Be
Accurately Determined.
Possibly there is no greater terror
among the many met with at sea than
a fog. The helplessness of our harbor
boats and the clamor of bells and whistles during a heavy fog in New York
harbor give one some idea of this nightmare of the ocean, but when a fog closes
down upon a vessel at sea the most reckless captain proceeds cautiously and
anxiously.
The probability of collisions and
wrecks due to fogs has been accepted as
a sort of unavoidable evil, which must
"become greater as the number and speed
of vessels increase. But the inventive
genius of man could not let such a condition of affairs continue without attempting to do away with it, and there
has been perfected a simple instrument,
called tho eophone, by which the direction from which a sound proceeds maybe determined with absolute accuracy in
fog or darkness.
The simplest description of the instrument is that it consists of two bell
mouthed sound receivers, separated by a
central diaphragm.- The sound receivers
are connected to the two ears, and, when
pointed directly at a source of sound,
the noise is tho same in each ear. When
turned away, the sound is heard in only
one ear.
On shipboard the sound catching and
dividing part of the instrument extends
above the top of the charthouse. The
tubes are brought within the chart-
house, and the instrument may bo turned
from below to point in any desired direction.
The eophone has now been perfected,
there being many points for which numerous experiments, lasting over several
years, have been required, in order to
determine the best form, especially with
the sounding tubes and ear pieces. Various refinements, such as microphones
and devices adding to the complication,
but not improving the -use, have been
eliminated.—New York Herald.

How "tfapoleon Raised Money.
Napoleon had the lavish hand of a
parvenu, but his beneficiaries were not
grateful, and with ever increasing insolence were always craving more. The
system of private confiscations or forced
contributions from individuals had already attained vast dimensions. During
tho winter of 1809-10 it was extended
and regulated; the sums wrung from
German princes and Spanish grandees,
from English merchants and the Italian
clergy, wereflot entirely exhausted; the-
3*eiaaindei\ together with what was "accepted" from timorous politicians, crafty
ecclesiastics, sly contractors and unprincipled financiers, was now erected into
the dignity of the emperor's "extraordinary domain." The term "army
chest" had been devised for times of
higher public morality; it was now discarded. Confiscated palaces, forests,
lands, fisheries, moneys from the sale of
American ships—all were now the emperor's private property.—Professor
Sloane's "Life of Napoleon" in Century.	
Mozart and Bretznor.
When Mozart was at the height of
his fame he composed the music for
BrotEuer's "Belmont und Konstanze"
("The Abduction Erom the Seraglio")
Bt the request of the Kmperor Joseph II.
The author of the drama was so angry
at this that he inserted the following
■aotice in The Leipziger Zeitung: "A
i lertain fellow, of the name of Mozart,
lias dared to misuse my drama, 'Belmont und Konstanze' for an opera text
I hereby solemnly protest against this
invasion of my rights, and I reserve to
myself further procedures. (Signed),
Ohristoph Eriedrich Bretznor, author of
1 Rauschchen.' "

Earnings of Golf Prdftssionals.
During the last ten years the number
of golf professionals has probably been
multiplied tenfold. As at every links
the supervision of a- greenkeeper is a
matter of prime necessity, the unrulier
of these professionals has grown correspondingly. Adding together the income
he derives from aJl sources, we may
take it that the respectable professional
on a good links can some times earn as
much as £350 to £300 a year. A few,
donbtless, make mere, and there is at
least one crack "pro" whose income
from all sources can hardly be less than
£600 a yew*.—St. James Gazette.
