Ponder Over It.

A prominent building owner, with years of experience, gave the following instructions to his architect: “I hare had my experience with kalsomine and other goods claimed to be just as good as Alabastine. 1 want you to specify the durable Alabastine on all my walls; do not put on auy other manufacturers’ dope, If they furnish it for nothing. Alabastine is right, and when I cease to use it I shall cease to have confidence in myself or my own judgment." England has turned against Its own sparrow.

The Board of Agriculture refuses to protect the birds.
