The English sparrow la perhaps th< shrewdest bird going and rarely ever geti caught in a scrape. I saw ono literally it tight place, though, and but for th< shrewdness of his friends ho would doubt less be there now, or worse. A careless ool ored oook of the house adjoining mine hat grilled Boiiie raw rice, per ha pa a quart 01 tuore, in the back yard of the nelghbor'i promises. In order to hide her careless neaa froui her mistress and ao to save her self the trouble of picking up tbe rice, tb< resourceful oook simply turned an einptj box over the littlo pile, thus putting ltou of sight, and went her way rejoicing. Presently a bovy of sparrows chance* that way and took possession of my neigh bor's buck yard. Ere long an adventuroui ono of tbo number discovered a oonvonien knothole in the overturned box, poked hi inquisitive little head therein and forth with spread the news of the rice find. Thei things weru pretty lively thereabout First ono and then another of tbe blrdi would pop down through tbe bole, to bot op a few moments later with his crop ful of rice. They were all mighty gay ovc: the matter and moat of them made two 01 throe trips inside before they were satisfied By and by something seemed to bavi | gono wrong. The birds fluttered nn< chirped and chatterod in an agitated man nor, crowding upon und about the box ? thickly that it was some time before ! oould see that one little brown head kep bobbing up frantically through the knot bole from the underside and gcttiug n< farther. Some greod-. lo follow hoc laid in an oversupply, uu so made him elf too big for an exit through tbe hole. The case really seemed a pitiful one, a nothing but time und tho slow process o Saturn could relievo tho poor prisoner o bis prodlcamont. At least that is what thought, and I marveled that bo clover i creature as a sparrow should get himsel Into a hole. Meantime I bad forgotten t< reckon upon the ingenuity of the birds 01 the outside of the holo. They lost no tim< In bringing this qualification in evidence however, for pretty soon I discovered tha thoy had set to work to dig (he little prls oner out.
