THE Crows Henry Ward Beecner says Of
crows "Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, we have warm side toward the
crow, he is so much like one of ourselves. He is
lazy, and that is human be takes advantage of
those weaker than himself, and that is manlke;
he is sly, aud hides tor tomorrow what be can't
eat to-day showing real human providence
he learns tricks much faster than he does useful
things, showing true boy mature; be likes his
own color best and loves TO hear his voice,
which are eminent traits OF humanity he will
never work when be can get another to work for
him, genuine human trait he eats whatever
be can get his claws upon, and is less mischiev-
Gus with belly full than when hungry, and
that is like man he is at war with all living
things except his own kind, and with them he
has nothing TO do. No wonder, then, that men
despjse crows they are too much like men
Take off his wings, and put him in breeches
crows would make fair average men. Give men
wings and reduce their smarttpss little, and
many of them would be GOO enough TO be
crows"

STATISTICS OF THE HUMAN RACE.-From the N.
Y. Observer Year Book for 1872 we copy the
following interesting facts of the population of
the GLOBE
The earth is inhabited by about $50, 600, 900
OF inhabitant, namely $50, 900, 900 of the eau
cnsan race; 900, 600, 900 of the Ethiopian $780,
600, 900 of the Mongolian 22O 900, 900 OF the
Malay races, and 10000, 900 of the American
Indian. All these respectively speak 1904 Ian
gaages and possess 900 different religions
The amount of deaths per annum is SO, 1873, 1888,
or 81 1854 per day, g. 730 per hour go per minute,
or per second. This loss is compensated by an
equal number of births. The average duration
OF life throughout the globe is thrty-three years.
0ne-fourth die before their seventh year, and one
half before the seventeenth. Out of 10000 per-
sons only one reaches his hundreth year only
one in 500 his S0th and only one in 100 his
Goth. Married people live longer than unmar-
ried ones, and tall man is likely to live longer
than a short one. Until the the fifteth year,
omen have better chance of life than men
but beyond that period the chances are equal
Sixty-6ve persons out of one thousand marry
The months OF June and December are those in
which marriages most frequent Children
born in the spring are generally stronger than
those horn In other seasons. Births and deaths
chiefly occur at night. The number of men able
to bear arms is but one-eighth of the population.

ABUNDANrLy PRoTEcTED.-It was one even
ing last summer when a lady who belongs on
the editorial staff of one OF the leading dailies
of New York had been detained by office duties
until rather late hour. Living on the Heights,
in Brooklyn, but short distance from Fulton
ferry, it was not much of venture to go home
without escort, and so she started. On the
boat, standing outside enjoying the breeze after
the days toll, she perceived a gentleman ~ in
rather close proximity to where she was lem
ing over the guards, but said nothing. "Are
you alone 2" said he, as the boat neared the
slip.
''No, sir" said the lady, and without further
interruption, when the boat touched she stepped
Of.
81 thought you were not alone" said the fell
low, stepping to her side again.
81 am not replied the lady.
"Why, l don't see any one who is with you p
"God Almighty and the angels; Pm never
alone y
"You keep too good company for me, madam /;
good night" and he shot for Fulton Avenue
car, then nearly block away. The heroic wo-
man was permitted to "keep to the right as the
law Directs and enjoy that full measure of
quiet satisfaction one always feels from keeping
good company.

DRIFTING AWAY.

Broad is the sea where the vessels are sailing,
Fair are the breezes that watt them along,
Clear is the sky that above them is smiling,
Brilliant the sun that is lighting them Oh.
Ever the pillows are playing around them,
Kissing their sides as they speed far away
Ger the wide ocean that lies all before them
Ocean to cross ere they enter the bay.
Sometimes two vessels will sail on together,
Seeming each other to help and to cheer,
Giving assistance in trial and in danger,
Passing the shoals and the rocks without fear !;
Then, as they journey, a cloud gathers DER them,
Head winds assail them, wide tossing each bark
Splinter the masts rend the sails and the rigging,
Waves roll between them, and they drift apart.
Oh there are hearts, sailing out on life's ocean,
Banded together by friendship and love,
Giving assistance in trial and sorrow,
Fearing no danger, as onward they rove.
Then as they journey storm bursts upon them,
Sewers the couplings that bind heart to heart
Iashes the sea, till it foams in its madness
Waves roll between them, and they drift apart.
You that have friends that are loving and tender,
Whom you can trust with the hopes of your soul,
Let not the trials of life bear asunder
Those who can aid on the way to the goal
Cling to them always, in darkness, in sunshine,
And, when to Jesus in prayer goes your heart,
Ask that His blessings may ever rest on them
Pray Him to keep you from drifting apart.

ONLY COIL OF HAIR.-The Washington Cap
ital says: When "they' we're moving the
dead from st. Patrick's graveyard, gentle
man had his mothers remains, which had
been buried for thirty three years, brought up
and found that the hair was in a remarkable
state of preservation. and had evidently grown
during this time. His wife needing a chignon,
and not having two hundred dollars to buy one
Of the quality she desired he took the old lady's
hair and presented it to his wife.
She was charmed, and got into the cars next
morning and took it to prominent hair.dFess-
er in Baltimore, told the story-which was
overheard by some ladies who were being ''friz-
sed"-and had it made into superb coil,
which now adorns her classic head. That's
What the old lady got for shutting off the NOR
tai coil. We suppose the coil might be called
hairs from the grave!

we, who have seen as many as sixteen years
in this vale of tears, understand to verify the
mingled joys and sorrows ofour Sunday nights
courtship.
With what trepidation, half doubt, half tri-
umph, we noted the effect of "Warren's Black
Ing" on our new sewed boots or, with tremb-
ling fingers, essayed to tie the fancy neekcloth,
for which our tailor had charged us such an
outrageous price, unblushingly affirming that
he was making present of it at that amount !!
How we palpltated as we approached the house
which was the casket containing our jewel, and
perhaps lost heart as we approached it, and
made circuit OF block or two before coming
to the door I! How our heart beat tumultuous-
ly as we laid shaking hand upon the knob
and gave pull, and heard the bell ring out in
the hall
Would she come to the door? Would she be
glad to see us F? No, it is the cook, who pro-
pels the mop and wrestles with the frying pan
in the lower regions, and this hard-hearted fe-
male, supposing that we are in search of the
younger brother of our divinity, announces
that he is not in.
Master Ned! Ridiculous! mere school
boy-whole months younger than we are. We
falterngly pronounce the name of our mann
orata, and are admitted.
What is this female grinning at /? Does she
see anything wrong in our apparel or has she
the impudence to class US in the same light
with boy like Master Ned
Our indignation s soon lost, as stumble
into the presence of the fair one, and do won
derful things with the hat which has cost mon
ey, before we consent to relinquish it to the
tender mercies of the servant. We feel that
the eyes Of the world are upon us-that pater
familias is regarding us with placid smile,
and that the partner Of his joys and SORROWS is
"watchln rs.
And then when the old people have asked
all the questions they can think of, and have
found business in other parts of the house, and
we are alone with our charmer! She has
wonderfully low voice, at first, and yet She
leads us on, as women will do the end OF time.
until we are talking giby enough, and have
gone so far as to be seated on the sofa, when
pater familias comes incoming in with an earth
ly question, receives his answer, and meanders
out again.
We have taken her hand, when a whiriwind
enters the house liz the shape of Master Ned,
who inacs his presence upon US for half an
hour, and is out again.
The moments fly swiftly, and we are in the
seventh heaven of happiness, when again the
doors open, and a solemn procession enters
Pater familias, mater familias and Ned, out
wardly demure, but inwardly rejoicing, like
demon, in our discontinue
After while we feel for our hat and depart.
inwardly fall of wrath and vowing never to re-
turn. But, as surely as the cycle of time brings
round the next Sabbath night, we are back
again. And so it will be with the sons of men
while the world goes round.-A Bachelor.

HOOfland'S German Tonic,

Was compounded for those not Inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stimulant is required in
connection with the Tonic properties of the
Btters. Each Bottle of the Tonic contains one
bottle of the Bitters, combined with pure SANTA
that the extreme bitterness of the bitters is
overcome, forming preparation highly agreea-
BILE and pleasant to the palate, and containing
the medicinal virtues ofthe Btters. The price
of the Tonic is $3.50 per Bottle, which many
persons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant is guaranteed
to be of pure quality A poor article could

article A medicinal preparation should con
tain none but the best Ingredients and they
who expect to obtain a cheap compound, and
be benefited by it will most certainly be

SAD RESULTS OF THE USE cF ToBAcco.-An
example OF the i'll effects resulting from the use
of tobacco has recently been brought to notice
which is worthy the attention Of the good Mr.
Trask and his coadjutors in the crusade against
the obnoxious weed. In Virginia Mrs. Chloe
Flatford, of Fredericksburg. became addicted
to the use of tobacco at an early period of her
life, and the habit of smoking and chewing be-
came SO strong with her that she was unable to
comfortably exist without its indulgence, For
one hundred years this misguided woman con-
tinued the daily use of tobacco, and only gave
it up at her death, which occurred when she
was one hundred and eighteen years old. This
sad case shows how long bad habit, once ac
quired will sometimes cling to person.
