A lady who kept some hens to sup- ply the table with fresh egss and fowls experienced considerable culty in feeding her flock of laying hens, on account of the way in which the sparrows came in droves at feed- ing time and devoured the grain which she threw to the poultry. She was telling her troubles to a neighbor, who in all-kindness, informed the lady she had read a remedy for just such a difficulty and she found the paper, which told that bread- crumbs soaked in alcohol for some time and placed where the sparrows would find them would kill the birds in a short time after the crumbe were devoured. Resolved to try the experiment, the lady purchased a pint of alcohol and soaked a lot of bread in it and placed the tempting morsels where the spar- rows would be certain to find them. In a very short time about hailf a dozen sparrows came and, after scrut- inizing the food carefully, ate part ufit and suddenly flew away. The lady, who was anxiously watch- ing results, was highly gratified for a few moments, for she supposed the sparrows had gone off to aie. But her surmises were wrong, for in a short time the birds returned, ac- companied by several dozen others, and the entire flock consumed the al- as they chattered and flew about in great glee were side- splitting. Their jollities continued fo rover an bour, and not a bird died or seemed to be any the worse for his experience with doctored food. For “several days the sparrows re- turned as if expecting an- other such “but the lady’s moral sense would not permit her again to be the ‘cause of a flock of eparrows getting on a dig drunk. It is very evident the few which first tasted the feast were not con- tent until they invited all their friends to the generous repest, and their en- joyment was plainly manifest in their intoxicated Mflee—’l‘i! -Bits.

From 20,000 to 30,000 of these exiles were encamped about the place for weeks at a time, with little or no water and with bread served at the rate of a loaf a week for each person,—if he was lucky enough to get it. In Konia is a hospital maintained by foreign money though not under jany missionary society. This hospital { has done effective relief work for the unfortunate thousands, so far as its | resources permitted. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions has lately received the fol- lowing letter from a member of this | hospital's staff, which adds its evi- { dence as to Turkish cruelty and Ar- menian agony. “Soon after that pre j yall 5 pairs SOCKS, 25¢ grade for_ _ the great deportation ded the arrival of the new Miss C. and I drove out to Kachin Han, the first station on the | roailroad_towards Eregli, just to fol- w up the crowd, as a large number had been driven off on foot with the | expectation of taking the railroad |later on..

I don’t see what there is about me that makes everybody get jealous or sulky or—or something! Come on!” about her people who had left her be- hind, and so forth. A little further on, lying beside an empty wayside stable, we found an old woman, half naked, pulseless, mut- tering in low delirium and with only a few hours to live. We lifted her in- to the old stable, covered her with an old quilt that we found near her and drove back to the city, weighed down with the thought of the awful suffer- ing that is going on all over the country, especially to the southeast of us, of which we see such terrible ex- amples at our very doors. A side light on the rate of extermina- tion of the Armenians glance at mortal Konia hospital whic studying lately. In ordinary y average mortality from all causes is about 4 per cent.

The Quiet That was London's. The motor-horn and the taxi whistie have banished the rather surprising reputation for quiet which London held among many foreign visitors a decade or two ago. In 1896, again the Lon- don of the early nineteenth century was described in John Ashton's “When William IV. Was King," as “a verv noisy city”— evidently in -contrast with the comparative silence of his own time. But the noises he conjured up from the past— the matchman's call, the shrieks of the milkwoman, the chimney sweep, the newsboy and the vendors of fish and cat'’s meat, the bells of the muffin man and the foot- man—were as nothing to the piercing mechanical noises of today.—Exchange.
