having appropriated SIOO,OOO for
Cthe importation of parasitical insects to
devour the gipsy moths, the quest s on arises
whether another appropriation may not soon
be needed to import something to rid us of
the parasitical insects. If this sounds pes
simistic, remember the story of the English
sparrow. If less money were spent in importing experi
ments and more were rationally devoted to adequate pro
tection of our native birds, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars would be saved to agriculture and horticulture.
Out of some thousands of birds native to North Amer
ica scarcely a half dozen have proved to be injurious
instead of beneficial. The cuckoos, warblers, chickadees
and many of our other common birds have proved to be
Invaluable as destroyers of gipsy moths. The rose-breast
ed grosbeak eats great numbers of the potato beetles, and
the scales are attacked most vigorously by the various
titmice.
The ornithologists declare that even the hated chicken
hawk destroys so many snakes, insects, mice and other
small predatory animals, and so few chickens compara
tively, that it is a benefactor rather than an enemy to
the farmer; while the amount of corn the crow destroys
is much more than offset by the vast number of insects
he consumes.
They say that a bird which deserves much more con
sideration than it gets, either from the Audubon Society
or the law, is the quail, one authority estimating that
every quail is worth a dollar to the farmer for each of
nine months in the year and 50 cents for each of the
other three months, its service being in its consumption
of seeds of weeds, injurious insects and worms.
Rational protection of our native birds costs little, and
it cannot fail to give marked results in the country’s food
production.—Cincinnati Post
THE “BOSS” AND THE STATESMAN.
of two distinct types rise to prominence
I Tpk it in public life —the party “boss” and the
IIV H statesman. It is seidom that one man com
bines in liis own person the characteristics
of both, for they spring from different ideals
of public duty.
The boss devotes himself to bringing about
the success of bis party because be desires to profit by
the opportunities which accompany victory at the polls.
His motto is, “Win; honestly, if possible; but any way,
win.” Out of this policy spring all the frauds aud scan
dals of political campaigns.
The frauds begin in the election of delegates to nom
inating conventions. Contesting delegations are sent from
districts where the machine is weak, and the packed con
vention gives them the seats to which others have been
fairly chosen. The other steps in the process are fraud
ulent registration to make a majority in a doubtful dis
trict, purchase of votes, and dishonest canvass after the
polls are closed.
Such practices are not general, nor even frequent, but
they have been common enough to be responsible for the
continuance in power of more than one State boss. With
in a few years the ranks of such bosses have been greatly
thinned. Some of them have died, others have lost their
control of their party. The standard of political morality
is perceptibly higher than it was.
The other type of man Is Indifferent to political ma
chines. He makes his appeal direct to the people. His
object is—and the more statesmanlike he is the ritore
steadily he pursues that object—to carry out principles
and policies, not simply to carry the next election.

ancient though the latter were.
In Pajarito Park, about twenty miles
from Santa Fe, are thousands of cave
dwellings, which must have been in

cliff dwellers or their descendants, the
Pueblo Indians. The cliff dwellers
built walled houses on the ledges of
cliffs, but these cave dwellers simply
scooped out holes In the solid rock.
Here they must have lived like wild
animals. In some of the steepest cliffs

times there are small rooms connected
with these living rooms. These were
probably used for storage, as they will
not average over six feet in diameter.
Some of the rooms have been rudely
plastered, and smoke stains are to be
found In them, but little else has been
discovered to shed any light on the
manner of life of these ancient cave

the petrified forests were green and
when strange monsters roamed the
earth. Not even the crude hammers
and other implements of the cliff dwell

such implements would have been

for the preservation of the Union raised him on a pedestal
so high that the party bosses of his time scarcely reach

gratitude of his followers when he has no more favors to
grant.
This is a government by parties, and party managers
are necessary; but the people seldom forget that the great
principles for which their parties stand are of more im

AMERICANS ABROAD.
EWSPAPERS are printing the customary
N summer stories of crowds of visitors from
this country flocking to Europe and over
running the hotels and public places. The
treasury statistics show that about 150,000
Americans go to Europe every year, and the
estimated average expenditure of this army
of visitors Is SI,OOO, so that European hotel owners, store
keepers, transportation companies and other purveyors to
sightseers receive about $150,000,000 annually from the
overflowing American poeketbook.
The money spent by 150,000 Americans in foreign lands
containing 200,000,000 people or more seems like a small
matter, relatively, but it cuts a large figure in the balance
of trade and In the international banking exchanges. The
United States sells annually to foreign countries mer
chandise valued at upward of $500,000,000 more than the
value of merchandise imported.
Here is a huge balance of trade which must be settled
in some way. If Europe were required to ship gold in
payment for this difference, foreign banks would be In
the stress of a financial crisis in a short time. Of course,
the Americans who go abroad have no purpose of saving
Europe from this condition, but as a matter of fact the
$150,000,000 of American money that are spent in Europe
every year help to maintain an equilibrium in interna
tional exchange, without which there would be a serious
derangement of the current of trade among nations.—

TRAINING FOR MATRIMONY.
worthy bishop of Ripon laments that
England has no schools for engaged couples.
| It is an oversight from which our cwn coun-
A 1 try also suffers. There is no end of schools
of law and medicine, schools of typewriting
and trade, dancing, dramatics, cooking, cor
respondence, china painting, wood carving
and leather burning by mail. But no benevolent million
aire has yet endowed a preparatory school for matrimony.
Yes, matrimony is the most important condition of life
and should command the most careful preparation. A
few primitive prescriptions of boneset tea, sulphur and
treacle and flannel and goose oil are passed down from
generation to generation, but the truly scientific courses
of the lecture room and laboratory still remain to be
founded.
In France a paternal government after the ceremony,
presents bride and bridegroom with an attractive little
booklet of advice about family affairs. We have not
got that far in England, or this country. But when we
come to think of it, there is a school, too, kept by Experi
ence, where folks can learn a few things about matrimony
as about most other subjects. The bishop of Ripon Is free
to Improve upon it If he can, but, for our part we do
not believe there is any better instruction to be had any
where. And then let us not forget what Dr. Holmes said
about training a boy—“ The best time to begin is a hun

“I’ll take the apartment,” said the
man, “if you’ll agree to put a new lock

After a good deal of arguing the
agent consented.
“We have to do that frequently,” h«
explained. “Many prospective tenants
of houses and flats now demand that
new locks be provided before they will
sign the lease. They say that this has
been made necessary by the failure of
old tenants to turn over the keys when
moving away. There is no telling Into
whose hands these keys may fall. A
crook is just as likely to get hold of
them as an honest man. Many of the
robberies in flats and boarding-houses
nowadays are attributed to the careless
distribution of keys by old tenants."—
