Mr. Gilbert directed the attention of farm ers to the fact that the tight against the boll weevil Is being greatly handicapped by the slaughter of birds. In this connection he said fu rth e r: “While they feed on insects and do not specialize on boll weevils, a single songbird will destroy great quantities of Ueevils. The value of these birds iu checking the m ultiplication of Insects is thoroughly understood all through the North, where the laws protecting birds are observed. In most sections of the North a farm er would prosecute anyone killing songbirds on his lands. But In many parts of the South the farm ers, his sons and the hired men kill birds constantly, eating the robin and some of the other larger varieties fe ? and shooting many ol the sm aller va­ rieties for sport.”—New Orleans Picayune.

Nice Point Concerning Ownership of Pearl Which Cook Discovered In Clam She Was Eating. FOLDING CAMP CHAIRS and STOOTS LUGGAGE CARRIERS, Etc. Our prices are very low. Don’t miss us vhen you want CAMPING GOODS. A nice question of ethics and of law Is raised by the case of the cook at A tlantic City who choked on a pearl found In a clam she was eating and whose m istress then claimed the precious obstruction for her own. In the diamond mines of the Rand at Kimberley the native workman who swallows a diamond does not, ipso facto, make it his own. He digs in the blue clay on the understanding that every jewel discovered belongs to the De Beers Mining company, Ltd. But the cook was in a different situa­ tion. She was given her food as a part of her compensation. The pearl is an excrescent p art of the clam ; it is the picturesque result of a diseased condition. If possession is nine-tenths of the law, then the cook is entitled to the pearl on the principle of “findings is keepings.” In any case, the lady of the house would be entitled to boast, as muny a m istress has asserted, I have a pearl in my cook I”—Phila delphia Public Ledger. Lived With Coffin Twenty-Five Years. When Mrs. Eliza Bass became ill a t Lumberton, N. C., 25 years ago she sent for a carpenter to have him make her a coffin to order. He turned out a nice box of hard pine, varnished black, and at the old woman’s request placed it under her bed. She grew better immediately. During subse­ quent illnesses she lias had the cottin brought out from under the bed, and every time has got well. Meanwhile, living by herself In her lonely little house on the edge of the village, says an exchange, she has felt safe and has been as safe from chicken thieves and other m arauders as if she had a pack of fierce bulldogs to protect her. The negro population of the surround Ing country had a deadly fear of the old woman’s house and would never go near It a fte r dark. Now the coffin has been put to its original use. Death aas claimed its owner at the ripe age of ninety-four, and her friends and neighbors have laid her away. Constancy! Eileen was annoyed; she felt the family honor had been badly stained. It was Dora's fault, so she spoke to her about it. “It's no use denying it. Dora. Al­ though It was too dark for me to see who it was, I distinctly saw some man kiss you In the garden.” Dora was modern, and didn’t appre­ ciate her sister’s argument. “I don’t see why,” she said. “I've often seen George kiss you.” “Oh, th a t’s different. I’m engaged to George. I allow nobody but him to kiss me.” “Exactly.” said Dora. “I allow no­ body but George to kiss m e!” “Come on Over” J. P.
