Poor Crow.

The poor crow finds every mans hand against him, notwithstanding the service he does to those who till the ground. If they do not kill him on sight, 1t is only because he is usually a match for even the most sharp sighted gunner. He is quite as fond of bugs and worms and little field mice and young snakes, as he is of the farmers corn. He is good policeman about the farmhouse and drives away the hawk, who can do twice the amount of damage he is guilty of. He hunts the grass fields and pulls out all manner of pests, and probably saves many other crops, if he is hard on the corn. A gen. tleman had tame crow who trotted out after him as he went out to wage his annual war on the squash bugs. His sable attendant put his head on one side and watched him few minutes, as if to see how he did it. Comprehending the business at last, he went for those bugs with will, and cleared the patch in fine style. He took it for business the remainder of the season, insuring a fine crop.-Oar Dumb Animdls.

Houses Built Of Paper.

We sometimes hear of building houses on paper, but building house of paper is something of a novelty. Yet there is large manufactory in Wisconsin that keeps three mills constantly running on building paper, having capacity for the making of sixteen tons per day. The business was started by Yankee, of course; or rather by two of them. As long ago as 1857 the company began the manufacture of paper for building. The idea that paper could be cheaply and advantageously used in the erection of buildings-especially the home of the prairie farmer on the bleak plains of the Northwest-originat with them. They expended money freely in mills, machinery, patents and advertising, believing they had discovered the most effective and cheapest method for mak- ing building warm, dry and healthy, and that the paper would meet with public favor and find ready sale. They have now been manufacturing it nine years, and during that time have made and sold more than twelve thousand tons. It has been tested under all cir cumstances, and has been decided success.
 The paper used for building purposes is thick, hard paste board, wound in rolls of twenty-five to hundred pounds each, and usually thirty-two inches wide. While in process of manufacture it is subject to pressure of hundreds of tons, which compress the fibers together into one solid body, thus mak- ing an absolutely air-tight sheet, and as paper is one of the best non-conduc- tors known, it resists the action of both heat and cold; and SO building lined with it is made warm in winter and cool in summer. It does not shrink like lumber, and is not affected by frost, cold, heat or damppess, and it is known that it will not burn as readily as wood on account of it's hardness and solidity and by it's use house can be made al most, if not absolutely tight. It is far better for the retention of warm air in a building than an inch board.-Pape, Trade Reporter.

Defeated.

One of the most remarkable cases of defeated avarice was that of a cobler who lived in the time of the elder Ma poleon. When the Emperor, in 1911, desired to build a palac for the King of Rome near the Barrier de Passy, in sur veying the line of the facade, the shop of poor cobbler, named Simon Pierot, stood in the way, and quite disconcerted the building engineer. The fact was reported at headquarters, and after con- sultation with the emperor it was de- cided to purchase the little tenement. It was of very small value, but Simon Pierot, having heard of what was going on, had a miser's dream at once, and demanded twenty thousand francs for his stall. The administrator hesitated at such sum, but after the lapse of a few days concluded to give the cobler his price. The latter, goaded by avarice, now asked forty thousand francs. After considerable hesitation, and a frantic attempt to change the frontage of the proposed palace, the demand was acceded to. But Pierot now raised his price to sixty thousand francs and was really offered fifty thousand, which he refused. The emperor being consulted said he would give no more, even though he should be compelled to seek another location. The cobbler then began to see his foolishness, and offered his prop erty at fifty thousand francs, forty thousand, coming down al last to even ten thousand francs, but the authori- ties would not purchase. He had bro- ken up their plans by his avarice, and they would have nothing to do with him. A few month later, the cobbler sold his shop for one hundred and fifty francs One week after the sale he was removed to an insane easylumIdisappointed greed | hn died

Rome A Vast Cemetery

The ground on which the Eternal City stands is such as geolog1sts would find it hard to describe. It is mass of ashes. of vegetable and animal detritus, corrupted by contact with the filth of sewers, constructed at different periods, without any regular plan or regard to the public health. lmmedi- ately after the fall of the empire the law forbidding burlals within the walls was neglected, and the city became a vast cemetery, where the living dwelt in perpetual contact with the dead. First, the burials invaded the ancient ruins; and in long experience in arch @ological research have never yet found a single ancient building which does not conceal corpses-often only few dozen, but sometimes millions. The fact that each parish church had it's cemetery at it's side explains the greater part of these dismal discoveries, but sometimes one is obliged to take one's self to other hypotheses more or less problematical. -
 The subsoil of Piazza Colona, the Rayest and most lively spot in the city, is strewn with corpses. It was the cemetery of the church (now destroved) of St. Andrea, first discovered in 1729, in digging in the piazza for water con duit. The same remark applies to the Piazza del Pantheon, the former burial ground of the church of St. Maria, at Martyras. In 1871. when I was super intending the excavations in the Forum and Basilica Julia, saw carrled away at least 12.0O0 cubic feet of human bones, which had been buried at the side of the Capel Maria Della Grazie. A passage in Flaminio Vacca is very characteristic: ''ln the therm@ of Constantine" says he, opposite the church of St. Silvertro, in a garden be- longing to Fernando Acceagouli, were found two subterranean vaults, filled with several thousand cOrpses. The entrance to these dreadful vaults had been carefully stopped up, and the bodies were packet so close, one on the top of the other, that there remained hardly cubic foot of space free" do not doubt that burial place SC singular owed its existence to one oi those terrible epidemics that ravageC the city between the twelfth and thir- teenth centuries. It is, therefore, nc
 wonder that during the great heat oi
 summer the excavations have to bt
 suspended from regard to pubic health. and that when, under excep- tional circumstances, something has tt be done, it is often, effected at the cos
 of the health or life of the workmen.- London Atheneun,.

A Breton Town.

Point pAbbe is quaint little town, clean, quiet and medieval. Like Plou- gasted, the He de Batz, to be described by and by, and other isolated seafaring communities in Brittany, it has retained, from immemorial, costumes and customes of its own. You hardly find the same uniqueness and isolation anywhere else, or, at least, not in the same degree. At Point l'Abbe, for in- stance, you cannot help fancying that the clock of time has stopped, and that here, people are still living in the Mid dle Ages. The only link connecting it with the modern world of railways and newspapers is the diligence, which comes numbering up the grass-grown streets at snail's pace once day, while very little that can be called &C., tivity reigns on its sleepy quays. Point pAbbe is port, and vessels from Nan tes, laden with corn, had just arrived, but everything seemed done in a drowse, and while in great American cities men wear out before they have reached mid- dle life, here they might surely reach a hundred without feeling worn out even thens The town is pleasant to the eye, with its white-washed houses and black and gray facings, penthouse roofs, and dormer windows. Some are built of stone, and have quaint carvings; and the old chateau, now turned into a gendarmerie, would make good sketch. The church is curious, and consists of nave and one side isle only, the chan eel end entirely filled with beautiful old stained glass. The roof is painted sky blue-a common occurrence in Fin isterre-and the slender pillars separa- ting isle from nave have pretty eff feet. There is much quaint wooden carving here; but the chief feature of the church is the great richness and variety of the stained glass. Behind the church and approached through a well-kept flower and vegetable garden, full of flowers even now, are the ex
 quisite cloisters of the once flourishing Carmelite convent - among the most picturesque ecclesiastical remains of Brittany, and to my thinking as beauti- full, though on a smaller scale, as the cloisters of San Marco at Verona. The artist and lover of architecture may be quite sure of finding ample material for study in Finisterre. In this most out of-the-way old-world spot is invaribly to be found some interesting church, ruin or relic; but of course any length. ened descriptions of all these would be supererogatory here, even If space per- mitted, d,-Frazer's Magazine.

Antique Marbles at Rome.

Nothing more forcibly attests the im- perial power and magnificence of Rome. at the height of her glory, than the fragments of precious marbles which almost every excavation among her ruins brings to light. Even If her his- tory were lost to us, these varied bits of stone would tell in language stronger than words the story of her universal dominion, when her ships sought every cline, and every land paid tribute to her luxury. This piece reflects the glowing sun of Numidia, that the green of Tempe's Vale; this was quarried on Pentelicus, this in storied Chios, and these tell of Gallic and of Hispanic con- quest. Many have 8 double history, having served to decorate some forum or temple of the East before its spolia- tion by Mummius or Sulla.
 Toward the end of the second cen- tury B. c. the Romans, who had become conversant with Greek art through their conquests, began to appreciate sculptures and precious marbles, and from that time onward almost every captured city was rifled of its treasures. Not only were all the quarries of the world put under contribution, but sta tues, columns, and capitals, slabs, pave ments, and sometimes entire edifices, were transported to Rome. Carthage. from the time of it's destruction, fur nished an almost inexhaustible supply. Edrisi, the Arab geographer of the twelfth century, says that marbles of so many different species were found among it's ruins that it would be i'm possible to describe them. Blocks thirty feet high and sixty-three inches in di- ameter. and columns thirty feet in cir conference, were taken out.-Popula' Science NOnthU.

Making n Beginning.

Remember that in all things, if you do not begin you will never come to the end. The first weed pulled up in the garden, the first seed in the ground, the first dollar put in the sav- ings bank, and the first mile travelled on a journey, are all important things they make beginning, and thereby a hope, a promise, a pledge, an assurance that you are in earnest in what you have undertaken.
