Probably the most hopelessly out
awed creature on the American con
tinent, is the English sparrow. If not
now, he soon will be. Read what the
Commissioner of Agriculture has to
recommend concerning him.
"That legislative bodies of all the
States and Territories should repeal
all existing laws which afford protec
tion to the English sparrow. The
enactment of laws legalizing the killing
of the English sparrow at all seasons
of the year, and the destruction of its
nests, eggs, and young. The enact
ment of laws making it a misdemean
or, punishable by fine or imprisonment,
or both, to intentionally give food or
shelter to the English sparrow, except
with a view to its ultimate destruction:
to introduce or aid in introducing it
into new localities; to interfere with
persons, means, or appliances engaged
in. or nVsiomed for. its dpsfnipfinn nf
' -
its nests, eggs, or young, ine enact
ment of laws protecting the! butcher
bird, the sparrow hawk, and the
screech owl, which species feed largely
on the English sparrow, and the en
actment of a law providing for the
appointment of at least one person
holding civil office, in each town' or
village whose duty it shall be to des
troy, or bring about the destruction
of English sparrows in the streets and
parks and other places where the use
of fire-arms is not permitted.' '
The reason for this anathema lies in
the fact that this vicious little feath
ered brute is fast spreading over the
entire country, driving aw ay useful
birds and doing incalculable harm by
eating fruit buds and germs. It is
evident that the English sparrow must
SO.
It is gratifying to find that people
who have visited Southern Pines, and
afterward gone to other health resorts
in the South, with the idea of finding
better conditions, almost invariably
return with a greater appreciation of
the merits of the place than ever be
fore. This has been illustrated in sev
eral cases lately. A lady, who was
here in the fall, and received great
benefit, but by the advice of friends,
spent the greater part of the winter at
different, resorts in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, has
come back and is now gaining again
in flesh and strength. She found
pleasant places, localities where there
were greater crowds and excitement,
but nowhere did" she find a place with
absolute restorative properties equal
to what Hie finds here.
There's no denying that the weather
has been disagreeable. With high
winds, the air from fields of Northern
snow and ice was rather penetrating.
This is so different from what is usual
ly Experienced at this time of year a :; :o
cause" some grumbling among th.-
unreasonable; persons who th k
Southern Pines ought always to -to
mild and balmy, regardless of '
kind of weather that prevails Noi - n,
East, South and West. Consider"
the. terrible state of the weather in ho
North and North-west, it seems to i
that our bright, windy days, with -1
if
mercury ranging from 30 to 50 ab.e.
zero, were not as bad as they niL-l.t
have been. Visitors wear a knowing
smile while we remark that this :- ;i
very unusual spring, as if to say, "(Hi,
yes, that's what you've said evn v
year, further back than the mem ny
of man can reach." But if New
Yorkers are allowed to maintain thai
the late storm .-was the worst in thirtv-
Lli ... , .
tnree years, wm7 may we not cl.'iiiu
that this state of things is "unusual
at least!
We have received Glimpses into Chi
nese Homes, by Miss Elizabeth U. Yates.
Miss Yates was sent; as missionary to
China under the auspices of the MhIi
ist Episcopal Church, North, and this
little book is a partial record of her
experiences during the five years she
worked among them. She accompa
nied a lady physician upon her rounds
among the sick thus gained an en
trance into homes where doors would
ordinarily be closed to her. The
glimpses of their household custoiiis.
religious life &c., she tells.in a pleasinjr
manner, and we heartily recommend
the book to those who are interest t il
in mission work.
Sojne of our visitors, especially
those who have visited other resorts
in the South, express surprise at find
ing people who have never heard of
Southern Pines. This is not surpris
ing when we stop to think of the m;niy
places North and South that have cel
ebrity among certain classes of people,
and in certain localities, but else
where: are entirely unknown. It is e re
tain however that Southern Pine U
much better known in the North tl,:t ii
it is in the South.
Ah, the vast difference betw .1
tweedledee and ticcedledum! Some of our
contemporaries who had loud words t-
say about the sycophancy of Ed:t t
Grady, as shown in a speech deliver
ed at a Northern banquet some tir:
since, speak in the highest terms of : 'r-
recent reply to Senator Ingalh.
our estimation, both efforts were v
thy of the highest praise.
