O Pettit's Eve Salve FOR EYE DISEASES SPARROW IS NUISANCE Much to Be Said About De structive Little Bird. Destroys Fruit and Flowers of Culti vated Trees and Devours Many Seeds?Has No Song, but*Is Noisy and Vituperativo. (By N. DEARBORN.) The English sparrow among birds, like the rat among mammals, is cun ning, destructive, and filthy. Its nat ural diet.consists of seeds, but It eats a great variety of other foods. While much of its fare consists of waste ma terial from the streets, in autumn and winter it consumes quantities of weed seed and in summer numerous insects. The destruction of weed seed should undeniably count in the sparrow's favor. Its record as to insects in most localities is not so clear. In excep ' tional cases it has been found very | UOCiUi ?0 ? Ci UL AUOWW |/?OVU. ' For example, during a ercent investi gation of birds that destroy the alfalfa weevil in northern Utah, English spar rows were feeding their nestlings largely on weevil larvae and cut worms, both of which are very injur ious to alfalfa. In this case the spar , rows, attracted by grain in the fields ! and poultry runs and by the excellent \ nest sites afforded by the thatched roofs of many farm buildings, had left the city and taken up their abode in the country where the weevil out ' break subsequently occurred. Unfor | tunately, however, farmers can rarely | expect such aid against their insect roes. Wherever this bird proves use ful, however, it is entitled to protec tion and encouragement in propor tion to Its net value. On the other hand much is to be said against the bird. It destroys fruit, as cherries, grapes, pears, and peaches.y It also destroys buds and flowers of cultivated trees, shrubs, and vines. In the garden it eats seeds as they ripen, and nips off tender young vegetables, especially peas and lettuce, as they appear above ground. It dam ages wheat and other grains, whether newly sown, ripening, or in shocks. As a flock of 50 sparrows requires daily the equivalent of a quart of I wheat, the annual loss caused by these birds throughout the country is very great. It reduces the numbers of some of our birdsK as bluebirds, house wrens, purple martins, tree swallows, cliff swallows, and barn swallows, by ; destroying their eggs and young and by usurping nesting places. It attacks other familiar species, as the i-obin, wren, red-eyed vireo, catbird, and mocking bird, causing them to desert parks and shady streets of towns. Unlike our native birds whose place ; It usurps, it has no song, but is noisy I and vituperative. It defiles buildings and ornamental trees, shrubs, and vineB with its excrement and with its i bulky nests. The evidence against the sparrow I *V/v tt'Vi/%1 a aw a*?wK a1 m {nik IB, UU llie nuuic, \J icmuciuJiuB. By concerted and continuous efforts to destroy every nest after the eggs are laid, and by trapping the birds and destroying them, the numbers of I English sparrows in any locality may be rapidly reduced. Samples of easily constructed trap nests are hero shown. Sheep-Killing Dogs. Few men will admit the ownership i of a sheep-killing dog unless it is | caught in the act.

Cutworms are the larval forms of moths belonging to the family known as Owlet Moths. The first name was given this family because they are particularly night-flyers, most of them remaining concealed during the day; and the second name, on account of the fact that their eyes shine at night, in the presence of a light, to which, by the way, many of the species are attracted. Both the moths and their larvae are fond of sweets; and this fact is made use of both by collectors in catching j the moths and by the farmer and gardener in killing the "cut-worm" ! itself. The larvae, when full grown, | averages in length about one and one half inches, and is as a ruje, dull col- j ored, with or without obscure mark- j ings. This full-grown larva burrows into the soil a short distance, and j turns into a brownish or reddish-: brown or mahogany-colored pupa. These pupae may winter over, when formed late in summer, or give rise to moths in August and Setpember, j which lay their eggs at that time on various plants, or on the ground near , their food-plants. The larvae, which [ hatch in late summer or fall, winter j over in some concealed situation, and i are ready for business in the spring. While many birds prey' upon cut- ' worms?and although they are eaten j by some other insects, and are the : victims of parasitic forms, to say j nothing of diseases bacterial or fun goid?nevertheless farmers are often j obliged to take active means against 1 them in order to save their crops. A bait made of bran mash sweet ened with cheap sugar or molasses, and made decidedly green with a lib eral application of Paris green, la a very good remedy in a garden. A tablespoonful of this should be put at A Cutworn and Its Work. frequent intervals among the plants j subject to attack; not, however, near er than twelve inches to the plant; I for, in case of rain, the Paris green j might be washed against the roots, j and would injure or kill the plant. ) The Paris green should be mixed with the bran when the latter is dry. Thorough cultivation is an aid. Pieces nf oMntrla r>r hnArrt nlap.eri at inter vals over the garden, serve as traps under which the cutworms hide to ward morning, when they may be found and killed. Frequently the depredator will be found In the morn ing, within an Inch or so of the plant cut, burled an inch under the soil. Young plants like cabbage, cauliflow er, etc., when not too numerous, when first set out in a small garden, should be protected by paper or tin, or a barrier of some sort, which should extend Into the ground an Inch or so, and two or three inches above the surface. This can be removed when the plant becomes so tough as not to invite attacks from the cut worm. On large acreages, fall plow ing and thorough cultivation afford perhaps the most practical treatment Cutworms are likely to be especial ly troublesome the next year after sod, for it is only natural that, when deprived of sod land by farm cultiva tion, they should attack the crop im mediately following. This family of moths is an enor mous one, two hundred and thirty five different species of the group hav iiig been found In one state. Of this list, something like 45 species are typical cutworms. FREE RANGE FOR THE CHICKS Gardens In Such Shape Now That | Fowls Will Do Little Damage Lowers Feed Bill. Where hens or chicks have been confined In small yards during the spring and summer they should be turned out on free range now If pos sible. A yard which has been In use all the season will by this time need attention. In most cases It Is abso; lutely bare, and well contamnlated. The chickens In It are not receiving a fair chanoe. Gardens are in such shape that the chickens will do them little damage I now, and to turn the hens loose will reduce the cost of the feed bill, as ! well as make them happy. In case | several varieties are kept a good plan Is to turn each flock out at least one or two days a week, or better still a j few hours each day. This method will! give them all a range without mining I 4-Vtsv flnnlr a IIIC MUV/ttO, : The yards themselves should be j plowed or spaded up, and this fall i sown to some crop, such as oats, rye or wheat The crop will purify the ' soil,' as well as furnish green food for the flock. It Is only by careful attention to these details that hens can successfully be kept in smaU yards. Potted Plants Best. t Potted strawbery plants are besl for summer planting, as they enable one to plant in hot, dry weather with out loss. There is less check conse quent upon transplanting than with ordinary layer plants. Pot-grown plants may be Bet as late as Octobei with a reasonable hope of a good ber ry crop the following year. The planti should be set before becoming pot bound. Securing Large Litters. A writer in an exchange Bays thai crossing a boar of a prolific breed such as the Yorkshire, upon a sow of a less prolific breed will result in nc more pigs than breeding the sow tc a boar that is not of a prolific type but when worked the other way th? results are different. The Poland China boar used on a Berkshire oi Yorkshire sow will bring as manj pigs as the using of a Berkshire 01 Yorkshire boar.

WORST DESERT IN ALL ASIA Hongwanjl Temple at Kyoto, Japan, Crosses Takla-Makan Sand in Thirty Years. Toklo, Japan.?Rev Zulcho Tach Ibana, a priest of the great West Hongwanjl temple of Kyoto, re turned to that place recently aft er five years spent In explora tion In the virgin parts of central A.sla, writes a correspondent. His lourney was undertaken for purposes 3f research under the instruction of "ount Otanl, the lord abbot of the Hongwanjl temple and au enthusl iBtlc geographer. Mr. Tachlbana Is i young man of twenty-two years of ige and of such delicate physique tnat Jie natives said he must be a woman ilsguised as a man. Mr. Tachibana proceeded from Lon lon to Omsk and thence by stage coach In Semipalatlnsk, thence to Turban In Slnklang ("the new terri tory") passable roads were fonnd. During his explorations Mr. Tachl Dana traveled across the Takla-Makan lesert, which he describes as the Sheltered at the Edge of the Desert. worst of all deserts In central Asia. Neither birds nor even Insects are i :o be found there. The desert Is a sea of sand, where :here 16 only the wind to hear and the moon to see. The party constant ly met sand mountains over 12,000 i .'eet high, and the men began1 to grumble, fearing that they would be ! Duried by the constant sandstorms. On arriving at Goma, on the right :>ank of the River Tarlm, he caused considerable fright among the shep nerds, as his was the first party from the south for thirty years. At first i the shepherds fled, but were brought | back. The feat of crossing the desert caused greatest reverence by the ! Bhepherds. At this point he left the camel cara van to follow on slowly, while he pro ceeded on horseback to Kuchar, which place he reached after three days. This is a large town, though j not to be compared with civilized i cities. "Nevertheless," said Mr. : TacniDana, "i ieu on enienng it as though T had suddenly been put down In Piccadilly." Some time -was spent In the neigh borhood of Kashgar Investigating the burled cities, and afterward the ex plorer proceeded through the valley to the east of Tzunllng to Khotan, the districts previously explored by Dr. Stein (now Sir tylarc Aurel Stein). Thence the party proceeded to Tibet for the purpose of geological lngestl gation. Several districts -were visited by Mr. Tachlbana which had been omit ted by Dr. Sven Hedln. These regions are absolutely blank on the maps, and have never been visited before. As soon as the records of the Jour- ! ney have been collated the Hong- j wanji temple will Issue a report on ; Mr. Tachibana's exploration, which ' will without doubt be eagerly antlcl- j pated in scientific circles In Europe i and America as well as in Asia. STOWAWAY HEEDS A VISION Explains That He Received a Divine Summons to Preach to Benighted Chinese?Is Shipped Back. San Francisco Cal.?Harold Yates, A frightened youth, who had seen a vision and started for the Orient to preach to the Chinese, was brought back to San Francisco on the steamer Nile, which reached here recently. Yates' "call," by which he was sum A fllA maaoaffo nf t Vl Q gospel among the heathen, led him to stow away on the steamer Manchuria, which left here Friday. Captain Frlele of the Manchuria lis tened to the young man's account of his vision, after he had emerged from his hiding place, but decided that it did not entitle Yates to free passage and the stowaway was transferred to the Nile when that vessel was met in i midocean. Yates, who was employed as a bell boy at a local hotel, was awakened | with difficulty last Friday morning by another bellboy. He explained that he had been listening to a divine sum mons to the missionary field and hur riedly packed a few belongings and boarded the Manchuria, where he hid | In the hold.

Director of Evenini Department, The Moody Bible Institute Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 29. REVIEW. GOLDEN TEXT?"The words tlUt 1 have spoken unto you are spirit and ar? Iife."-rJohn 6:63. That Sabbath most dreaded by many superintendents and schools ii the one known as "review Sunday." It In Indeed a test of the ability and skill of the teachers as well aB a test of the kind of work done during the past three months. Some condemn th? Bible school and compare its work with that of the day school, not taking Into consideration the differences of paid and volunteer tetchera, the time devoted to study, th<9 discipline and countless other featured that tend to make comparisons odious. Still when all due allowance 1b made there is In deed too little or else an Improper use made of the review Sunday. One method of review is to call out the lessons, twelve in number, and make some comment upon each 'one or else have some person report upon the subject matter, the golden text, etc. This method may be preceded by having some one tell of that period in the life of Christ frjm which these lessons are taken; another tell , of some events In contemporaneous his tory and the places Jesus visited dur ing this time. After such statements It would be wise to have a brief state ment made as to the subject matter of the lessons for the entire quarter, e. g., how many have to do with mira cles, teachings, etc. Also a statement of the principal persons whom Jesus met. It so happens that during this quarter there is no closely connected thread that runs throughout the les sons and one is at a loss to know just what governed the committee in their selection. It would be well therefore to require a written test from the pupils. A set of questions covering the work of the quarter could be prepared and given to the scholars a week in advance and from this set of questions a hall dozen could be selected on the day of the review and the scholars be re quired to write their answers during .he class hour. What Lessons Teach. When it comes to selecting the main truths taught in each of the lessona of course there will be a wide variety of opinions. We may therefore be pardoned II oar suggestions may noi agree with those suggested by others. Beginning with lesson one it seems as though the Master is seeking to show us that all manner of sin can be forgiven except that sin which as cribes to the devil the work of the Son of God. This full and complete re jection of Christ and his work of re demption is what is known as the un pardonable sin. For that man there remains no other remedy for sin. This is different from merely being mis understood either by friends or foes; this is the limit of the antagonism of the evil one. Tho uomiiH lcocnn hn? tn dn with the seed, the Bower and -the soil. It is a great Illustration of the method whereby Christ Is to extend his king dom and of the various sorts of poll, (hearts) In which the seed is to ger minate as well as a lesson about what shall be the expected results from the seed thus sown. The third lesson is another illus tration of the propagating prooess. In It we are shown both the intensive and the extensive growth. By the ref erence to the' leaven In this lesson we are taught, as also In other para bles, that in this kingdom evil will also be present. There will be a con stant danger of an Inward decay. One has but to study church history or one's own Christian experience to know the truth of this principle. Lesson four, the lesson of the wheat and the tares, is a further teacher along the same line with the added significance of the harvest and the separation incident thereto. Lesson five teaches us something as regards the value of this new king dom. Its value was sufficient to com pel heaven to yield Its dearest treas ure. Lesson six ana seven nave 10 uu with the power of Jesus over wind and wave, over the man possessed of demons and over disease and death. Let us bring out the reason why Jesus thus manifested his power, viz., "that they might see the power of God rest* i Ing in him," John 5-36. Faith Essential. Lesson* eight has to do with the j great fact that God has so set foroes at work in his -kingdom as to make the faith of man an essential requl- 1 site in its advancement among men. j It was not, however, an utter failure In Nazareth for a few "sick folk were healed." We need to learn also the ' lesson of the danger of Jealousy of t/hose of our own friends whom God may be signally blessing, and to be- j ware lest we miss a great blessing , that is near at hand .ind one that oth- j ers are quick to perceive. There is also here the lesson of Jesus' familiar ity with the word. Lesson nine deals with the death ; of John the Baptist and the eulogy of j - . -r 1 i _i a j l_ Jesus as to jonn a CLiaiuuu ituiiu | The implacable hatred of rebuked evil; the culmination of unbridled lust; the terror of a stricken con- f science and the reward of the faith ful are some of the truths suggested in this lesson. Notice that In this les- ! son there Is no record of any word of j Jesus. Lesson ten, the sending forth of the ! disciples and the rules that are to govern their conduct is logically fol- J lowed by the great invitation pre- } sented in lesson eleven. By him, Jesus, we are to be Judged and judg ment will depend upon the acceptance or rejection of him whose Invitation is to all who labor to come to him and find rest, knowledge, and satisfaction. TEXT TAKEN TOO LITERALLY Ten-Year-old Julia Get* Into Bad Graces of Mother by Giving Tramp a Half-Do liar. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have en tertained angels unawares." The foregoing quotation Is from chapter xlll, verse 2, Book of Hebrews, and It Is introduced solely because it constitutes a vital part of this story Julia is ten years old and she goes to Sunday school. It appears that on a recent occasion the Sunday school teacher had considerable to say about this matter of "entertaining angel* unawares." Anyway, it made a deep lmnression with Julia. A few days after the lesson Julia's mother left her in charge of the house for a few hours. When the mother re turned she went to a particular cup In the cupboard to extract therefrom dne-half dollar. Iiv this cup Is kept the family pin money, and Julia's mother knew that she had put 50 cents there before she had gone out But the half dollar was gone. There was an expression of anxiety on Julia's face and mother scented mis-' chief. "Did you take that money?" asked the mother, somewhat severely. Julia broke Into tears: "I gave it to a man that came to the back door," sobbed the little girl. "Gave it to a man!" exclaimed the mother. "What for?" "I thought he might be God," tear^ fully replied Julia.?Kansas City Star. HOW IT 8EEMED TO HIMi City Cousin?The hotel you wer? stopping at, was It on the American or European plan?
