Curious hate of a Sparrow.

An English sparrow met a curious and untimely death in London recently in trying to take a drink of water from the famous Temple fountain. A gold fish, ■it is declared by witnesses, jumped up and seized the bird by the leg. A second fish did likewise by the bird’s other leg, and between them the sparrow found a watery grave. Four State prisons, those of Connecticut, Michigan, Montana and Washington, use deprivation of religious privileges as a punishment.
