And Yet That Extraordinary Exemp tion Deee Not Help the Unfortunate Whe Qete Into TreaMe Coaxing the Aaeiieed te Confess. It would be difficult tut ft Persian who haa sot traveled to understand American excitement over what the newspapers bete call "graft" My) motherland, Persia, to not yet quite awake to the possibility of a man's earring the public for a certain fixed salary and taking nothing more. In Persia they take It for granted that every officeholder will "gouge" people whenever he gets a chance. There are no lawyers in Persia, so there are no Jokea about lawyers' ap petite for gold and silver, if yon have ever bad a coetly lawsuit on your bands you may tblnk that makaa mat ters simpler, but getting Into trouble means being squeezed for money, wrung for money, as If you were a piece of wet eloth In a Washerwoman's strong grip. This to how It is managed: first, you see, tbe governor of a city or of a province sever baa a definite salary from the state—not at all. On tbe con trary. he paya tbe state treasury sev eral thousand dollara more or less for tbe privilege of being governor and of making what he can out Of the enter prise. He to not an elected officer; he to mot* like a "conoeeslonaira" at one ef your big expositions, who offers s lane sum for a chance to ran a ree tanranter topsevkli Irs is—l snda or candy. Tbe governor (or mayor) of a Urge Persian town may have perhaps 100 to ISO employees uhder him. Of these only a few house servants (cook, coachman and tbe like) -have Used wages. Tbe Incomes of tbe others de pend upon the amount of money which they can help torn Into the great man's hands in the form of fines and taxes. Ton can gosss whether the neighbor* are fond ef them I Suppose now you live in Petals. Ton bare leased a piece of ground or yon have sold some goods and the other man does net pay. Tou dun him. Then you threaten him. Then yon go to the governor and make a complaint An officer arrests your debtor and takes him before tbe governor's sec retary for examination. Possibly he can convince that Important personage that it Is not a lust debt If be can not do that he would bettor put all his wits to work to convince tbe secretary that poverty makes It quite Impossi ble to pay up. This to where many of tbe ICO under employees get their chance. A large part of their occupation to bunting up facts about everybody's property, everybody's buslnees. everybody's In come.

Prof. Andrew Allison in Progressive Farmer. To sum up the food of nestling —leaving tbe dove alone in the habit of feeding its young on seed: two wrens that fed to their young 30 locusts in an hour were observed in eastern Nebraska. Counting only 20 broods to the square mile of this and similar | birds, Dr. Judd estimates that in the eastern part of the State these small birds destroyed daily 163,- 000,000 locusts. The food of a locust amounts to about its own weight in a day, and a locust weighs approximately IS grains. This means a saving to the farmer, in the destruction of these lo custs, of 174 tons of green stuff in a day 1 A rain-crow contained 217 fall web-worms. Another contained 200 tent caterpillars. And, lest these statements sound too ex treme, let me explain: a bird's stomach could not contain nearly so great a number of entire cater pillars ; but' the rapid digestive processes, quickly disposing of the soft bodies, do not affect the head parts of the insect so strong ly ; and the finding of a pair of horny jaws in a bird's stomach is considered more than circumstan tial evidence that the insect be hind the jaws was once there. BULLBATS AND MOSQUITOES. A night-hawk bullbat—con tained 600 mosquitoes. And this reminds me of an apt comment qiade by an ardent bird protec tionist. A certain traveling sales man boasted that, in driving from one town to another, he had shot with a small rifle thirty night hawks from tbe fence-posts along the road. The best reward for such a day's work, said the nar rator, would be to strip that drummer and put him, for tho night, within convenient reach of the number of mosquitoes de stroyed that day by the slaught ered night-hawks. A dove had eaten 7,500 weed seed, another 0,400 and a third Do birds protect plants? No. 2 9,200. An active boy with a hoe may do good work; but how long would it take him to eradicate 9,200 weeds? The single dove had put them, at one meal, be yond all hope of gemination. We too often jump to conclu sions when we see a woodpecker in the corn field, a dove in the peas, a mocking bird among the grapes; and unconßldened are the destroyed wood-borers, the weod seeds kept from gemination, the cotton worms gleaned from our fields. If we took care to strike a balance, we Bhould find our selves greatly in debt to the birds. No community haa ever destroyed Us birds without being very sorry for it afterwards.

Judge Coodems High-Heeled Shoes. Blohmond Times. Many really nice girla wear high-heeled shoes in ignorance of how awful bad such shoes are. Justice Howard, of the New York Supreme Court, told of the wick edness of such ahoes in his court the other day. "High-heeled shoes are aa heathenish aa rings in thejiose, or tatooing," he said. "Such shoea are as barbarous, as torturing and as destructive of health aa the Chinese wooden shoea. Both make ungainly and deformed feet. China ia proud of one kind of deformed feet and we are proud of the other." 'the judge did not aend any one to jail for wearing high-heeled shoea but he aaid he waa aorry Indeed that he could not do it. He prob ably likewiae regrets that he can not incarcerate women who load up their head? with coils and mountains of hair taken from the dead bodies of Chinamen. Kill More Than Wild Beasts.
