I have read a good deal about the iamage done in kite years by chinch bugs, army worms, curculio, borers and 3ther insects "too numerous to mcu:ion;" but few of th-j writers seem to :hink or bo conscious of the reai reason for the increasing number and harmfu;ness of these pes is. jjui we do not have to go far to Und tire reason, and it is found in tiie widespread and outrageous destruction of our birds. Think of the enormous number of sa*a!i birds required to deck ivI:os" hats nowadays: and of the ruined crops of hundreds of farmers and fruit growers in the United States, and ask if the latter is not the result of tiie former. Of course it is; no nno will or can dispute it. What is to be done? Something; and no time should be lost in doing it. The American Humane Society is, I think, doing a good work i:i this direction, and would in time blot out the bird-killing business, especially as an adjunct to the millinery trade of the country; bur it cannot work a reform soon enough to satisfy the pressing necessities of the agricultural intercs: <. We must appeal to law to stop tins indirect hatching and raising of myriads of insects to destroy the crops of the farmer, fruit grower and martst gardener. I do not think :: iaw against catching I birds would do much good, for it would not be enforced; but 1 think a law prohibiting milliners, both wholesale and retail, from handling these ghostly orna meats would h:tvc uw ih'streaeiiect, ana with such a. law we mighJ, in time, have our birds as plentiful and useful as they were a few years ago, before tills bloody war 0:1 tuc!r? begatj. But small birds are not the only insect eaters tb:it arc being exterminated for frivolous purposes. Tiic prairie chickens arc faliiu^ ;.<y the thousand by the ruthl:>ss hand of liio market shooter ?that vile blot upon the human race; cruel as a liend; gr::sp?ng as a miser: lazy as a sloth; bra:uless as an idiot,and for hurmfidness ranking next to the devil himself. Why allow lids low-lived specimen of humanity to ply ins dastardly and destructive work under the very nose of the farther he is injuring? Why not send him to the poorhou.se. asylum or penitentiary, where he could be kept with much less expense to the farmers, who arc now ?u;?i>oriing hinir But here is a point that puzzles mc. kit the shor. t!:o blood, the broken bono*, or the feathers, that makes prairie chicken meat such :i delicacy? If tame fowl were brought oil the table in the condition in which the prairie chicken is usually served, it would be considered entirely unlit to cat; so J don't think the epicurean public would lose much if prairie chicken shooting should be prohibited by law the year round, for at least live years, and longer if the birds were not plentiful enough at the end of that time. I think there vrnnM ho little or no objection to such a law. Every sportsman in the United States would like it, am! of course every farmer would commend it; even the market shooter would endorse it if be had brains enough to comprehend its advantages, for now be can hardly earn fifty cents a day, owing to the scarcity of game, while live years of this law would be likely to leave a flock of the birds on every ten-acre lot. Don't say they would injure the crops then; surely n.-> piniiid r>pr>."jii ean think that. From April lit to July loth there is no grain for theui to get, so during that time they arc waging a war of extermination upon a great many kinds of harmful insects, and when the grain does come they still prefer insects for the most of their food, and only pick a little grain to season the insects that, but for them, would do more damage on an acre than the birds would do on ten. Then the grain is harvested jnsuie or two weeks after it becomes eatable for them. when they have to fall back on insects again. Xow here is a chance for some law maker 10 cover himself all over with glory. Who will come to the front and save the farmer's crops from the ravages of insccts, and the birds from the merciless hunter??J. K. McBroom, in Farm, Stock and Rome. A Hoodlum Queen.

An old man, aged eighty, died in a cave in a range of mountains in Pennsylvania last summer. He had subsisted for years by begging, living on broken victuals, and carefully hiding the money given him. After his death, a large amount of silver was discovered buried in the cave, with government bonds and certificates of stock. His son. who was a cripple, ho had allowed to die in the countv almsiiouse. An old man who knew him in his youth, said.? ilis father taught him to client at marbles for pennies. Ho was trained to believe that there was no value in education, in religion, in the affections, in the decencies, in the happiness of life,?in nothing, in short, but money."

A so-ealicd magician in London has been coining money lately by showing I to eacii visitor who consults him the : pic:ure of his own death. One vonng i:i'l saw himself as a bloated old man, dying of apoplexy; another Jay on a j iield of battle, shot to the heart; a gay girl saw a wrinkled, gray figure stretched upon a bed, surrounded by weeping friends. The trick was the result of an instantaneous photograph taken na the visitor entered, with the addition of costume and background. But if each boy could in reality so face old age. but for one moment, there , would be little need of sermons to warn iiim from his besetting vice. i More than one man has been saved : from liaal ruin by a single observing glance at himself in a mirror.

It was to her good looks and her style that she owed her court-room marriage to Iran P. Terry. Before that she had been the wife of the notorious bank burglar. Charley Ballard, who is now said to be serving a long term of imprisonment in Belgium. The marriage to Ballard took place in England, where she was visit-' ing, when she was about lo years old. Bullard then wont by the name ot Charles Well?. lie was a *ruarL fellow, with a line address and plenty of snand ing money, and the girl ho married knew nothing about his real character, lie took her to Paris, where he opened a sort of American bar-room on a showy scale, and installed his pretty young wife as cashier. She naturally attracted a good deal of notice, and the venture prospered for a while. Buliard gave it up, however, ami brought his wife to New York. 11 was then siio found out who and what be was. Another wife soon turned up. and the couple separated, never to meet again. The second wife took her two children and went off on her own account. How she lived till she met Terry docs not appear to be known. He was the son of a millionaire sugar-planter :n Cuba, and had made some money himself. They were married without any ioss of time, Out Uio suoseqr.em pruceuuiu^a were not entirely harmonious. A number of little unpleasantnesses occurred, and leu up finally to a police-court sensation. Airs. Terry was of a decidediv jealous turn, and once on going through her husband's pockets, after the manner of wideawake wives, she found a gushing letter from a young woman explaining why a certain appointment was not kept. It is needless to say that the letter did not improve Mrs. Terry's state of mind. Afier thinking a while she set a trap for the young woman, and caught her in it Then she called on her at her home to give her a talking to, and got turned out for her pains. "" ' ' ? i U?,. inru waruiuu uui up &uu mwit-, auu next step was to m:ike a charge against the young woman of appropriating certain money that she said, sho missed. Then came the police-court sensation, in which the two women played prominent parts, and which the reporters hnd a fine time writing up. After a great deal of wrangling ii;e charge was dismissed, and the second woman, a Miss Alwood, soon afier retaliated by suing Mrs. Terry for slander. She claimed -525,000 damages, xnd a jury awarded her $300, but as Mrs. Terry had no property in nor name to levy on t-HeLindo-mnnt is still nnr-aid.

And how few persons who c:In devote but an hour or half an hour a dav tc reading and study, take due thought as to how they can make the most of their little leisure. They read in a desultory way whatever comcs to hand, and think tbat if they h:ul more time for books they would soon become much better informed. But the half hour a day, if used in the wisest manner, would make a vast difference in one's mental growth us the years glide by. An incident occurs to me tbat well illustrates this. A pretty maiden-hair fern, growing in a flower-pot, was given to a young girl, hopelessly ill with spinal disease. It proved tiling of beauty and of inexhaustible interest, as the delicate, graceful fronds came up, one by one. and slowly uncnricd. There was a little pot beside the fern and tinder its spreading fronds, in which cjew an aloe. By-and-by the sick girl noticed in the little pot some tinv f&rns, __ :?_u i.? <],? bUZlI'JU au vjuxnj uiiiiiw t?jv* raaidcn-hair. Whence came they? Her interest was aroused. She was no botanist, but she wanted to learn something about ferns. She could xise her eyes for reading but live minutes at a time, and not more than twice :i day. A. book on ferns camc to her, and another, and another. Friends knowing her interest in ferns, brought them to her fresh and green from the woods, or sent her pressed specimens of rare rarieties gathered in distant lands. Sometimes a visitor would read to her from one of her precious books, but Dnlv for four or iive minutes. -I cannot" remember more at a time," she would say, "and you have read enough for me to think about for a long time." It is now some years since the maidjn-hair fern was given to her. and she bas become an authority as to the species and culture of ferns, and is an j jathusiast in regard tu them. "Jt is true ] :hat she has become educated m one ! direction only, and is not particularly ! (veil-informed in other respects. But is j it not a great gain that she should tatk ibout lier ferns and their wonderful method of reproduction, awakening her istencrs' interest and teaching them rany things worth remembering, rather ;han tp dwell chielly on hef pains and j )rivations?
