He is no sportsman, and a vandal sort of butcher. who shoots the small birds, which no stretch of in- genuity can bring within the definition of game, In some European countries such shooting is termed sport, and some im- migrants have brought the bad habit with them. All hunters and sports- men should discourage, or when pos- sible, without resorting to too severe And that not simply because we ought to, and sensible folk do like to hear and see the little things about, but also because of the actual benefits they confer upon ankind. Michelet, the French naturalist and historian, says in his “Insect Life” that if all the birds were destroyed man could not live on carth more than nine years. He believed that without birds to check the ravages of insects, the insects would first destroy the growing crops of grain, next the grass and the foliage, which would leave nothing on which to feed cattle, hogs, sheep or poultry. The crops having been destroyed, all domestic animals would perish for want of food, and man in his extremity, in a barren and desolate world, would be driven to the necessity of living entirely on fish. ‘When the supply of fish was exhausted he would :starye.—Montreal Family Herald.

Why didn't you marry the girl?” “Because she hadn’t the fortune I wanted, my lord.” “How much was that?” “Five hundred pounds, no less.” “Gentlemen of the jury,” sald the Judge, concluding his charge, “you will find for the plaintiff five hundred pounds damages.

Rustless steel scems to be a com- | pletely established fact and it should be looked iInto for employment in || various industries, according to the Compressed Alr Magazine (New York). Says this publication: “It is reported on German authority that the Krupp works are paying special attention to the production of such steel. The metal contalns a large amount of chrome and is said to be remarkable for its hardness and strength. Its resistance to chemical action is such that it is not affected by boiling in nitric acid. It is used as a substitute for nickel-plated metal in the manu- facture of instruments. -The firm is nlso studying the question of using | rustless steel in the manufacture of | plates for artificial teeth in place of the gold or vulcanite now generally employed.” : CARS :—: WASHED & POLISHED The Luster Renewed Like a New Car. 96—PHONE—96 We will come and get your car or polish it where it is.
