One tMng iie\\s|U|H?r pe ?p'e wih nev er be able to understand is why any )H>rson will walk Into a- newspaper office and make himself or herself an object of charity ami Insist uihmi what they would disdain to ask in any other shop or place of business) In town. The principle Is the sunn? in the newspaper ollU-e as in the dry goods store, the grocery, the drug store, and what a great many people need is to recog nize it as the same and got off the uewsjiaper list. Advertising space in the new simper is for sale, not to give away. It haw a certain value in itself that makes it worth money. Copies of the newspa lH?r are for sale ? not to give away. If they are worth having, they are worth the exceedingly small price asked for them. The public, or at least a large por tion of if, has some very erroneous Ideas alnnit these matters, and It. Is but just to the newspaper folk that their ideas l>e corrected In accordance with the same business principles that pre vail In all other . business establish ments. , In a vast majority of <tises this gen erous charity ou fhe part of the ltews I wipers is blissfully taken for granted, and the paper's liberality abused. That which Is purely a favor is accepted as a matter of course, and what should be requests are couched as demands. When the courtesy has l?een perform ed there Is rarely appreciation and more often dissatisfaction? generally silence. Th? result In many other towns and cities is that a ban has been put upon all freo publicity* no matter wlmt its object ? even upon church not lees. In these cities such favors as the press bestows are properly appreciated and j valued. ? TWe Fourth Estate. MeLaurin'M Herd* nation Before Hoard. Coluiulda, Sept. I IS.? I'ivnUUmu J.

"Sudden Jltn" would havo boon an ap propriate name for this hrown atom of fuss and feathers. Sometimes, when one does not know that there Is a wren In a mile, he will break out in ono of his riots of son^s. that will make you jump. He s|K*nds most of his 1 1 ft* pooping in holes, and it is a safe guess, that tliero is not a crack, a cranny, a crev ice, or a split, or chink, within a half | mile of his nest, that lu? has not glanc ed into, and at the same time giving , his tail an extra shake, ills pluck 1 is out of all proportion to Ills sl/.o, and his voice Is even bigger than Ills pluck. If another bird Invades his own par ticular domain he fusses and fumes, until the intruder takes Itself off. lie Is more than a match for the English sparrow, who he hates with an intens ity many sizes too big for him, and ho never tires of airing his anti-British sentiments. If you were to get down and take a l?eep under the front porch steps where be Iihh set up him home, you would nat urally supjtose some one had stored hay there for old Dobbins winter use. Judg ing from the shapeless pile of flry grass ; heaiHMl up In a corner. But If you ex ? nminc it very closely, you will notice a little round door on one side that seems to lead straight in towards the center of the mass. If you follow ,thly pas * sageway, you will And that It ends In a deep chamber, that Is shafted very - much like one of these oldfashlon bead purses, with a draw-string at tlie top. This Is the living room of the wrens ami their numerous family. This Inner chamber Is well lined with hair, long, xtlk.v mass, and the softest moss, ami makes a very snug receptacle for the six or eight little eggs. ""The i?ocket llke nesl is quite deep, Iml wry small, ami when the young hatch, there is no spa IV room In that bird home. Tho baby wrens pile up on each other, two or throe layers deep ami when the hot tout layer can exist no longer without air, they work their way up through the super heated little bodies, ami take their station on top 1 ly keeping up this maneuver. over> few minutes, they all manage to pull through without suf focatlou. At this stage It Is well thai l hey are tailless, as tlieru^ls no room In that sweat-bos for tall flirting. While the young are in the nest, there Is hardly a minute In the day that one of the parents Is not stuffing food down the gaping throats of the ehlhlren, The mother and father seem to realise that the sooner the hahles ean fly, the sooner their labors will end. so they throw themselves Into the feeding business with a feverish aban don. knowing the more they eat, the faster they will grow. With their ,uer v on s energy the faster they will grow It takes nn enormous amount of f? n m I to keep the eurront going through the little feathered dynamos. The sum to tal of the insects devoured by a pair of wrens and their ticdllugs. during a day. would astonish one. Cut worms, wvevlls, plant lice, grass hoppers, beetles. eatterplllai'H and spi ders, all go Into the rounding of his meals. So their presenee about our homes hsodlushr ;dwn oporlotfo holoa ? homes should ho encouraged, as they work all day long to lessen the number cf Injurious insects. Of all the wrens, the House Wren Is the only one lacking the white line above the eye. lie Is so tiny that It does not seem possible that he could make the noise he does ; and we have sometimes wondered where he kept his music. lie Is mostly mad? up of voice and quick motions, find If these were taken fr< m him, little would remain other than a small pile of feathers, and possibly a short stumpy tail. Of all the merry, happy-go-lucky little fellows, he stands easily at the head; and noth ing ever casts a dumper over TfW bub bling good spirits. Mrs. Wren is one of the myUest of all bird housekeoj>ers, and does hot al-;, low a speck of dirt on her promises, r Any loose ends ol' grass are carefully carried outsjde and dropi>cd some dis tance from the nest. They become much attachvd to certain localities, and when they llml a particular s|H>t that suit* their taste, they return to It, year after year, and use the same old nest, with a little renovating here and there. Nature was in a kindly mood when she scattered the wren family so gen? ( rally over the world, to cheer and gladden the hearts of men. He is at. home to his friends In all part* of the United States, throughout Europe, Northern Africa, Axla Minor and a part of the Holy Land. Kev. William T. ltusscll, rector of St. Patrick's church.
