A REMARKABLE BIRD.-Last Summer
Mr.. z. N. Harris, who lives five miles
west Of Marion, caught young crow,
and II was raised and petted by his
children. On the 18Th day Of last Octo-
Der the crow few away, and was seen
no more until the third day Of the pres
ent month. While Mr.. Harris and his
family were In the house the crow flew
into the ruom and seemed TO recognize
the children, making groat demonstla-
tions of Joy. Strange TO say 1t brought
it's mate along with 1t, as far as a tree
near the house. The prodigal feeds at
the house daily, and after II has COTTON
enough carries supply to its mate. II
has shown no disposition TO leave, but
continues to show its affection for the
children and family Of the household
where It was raised. ,s there anything
on record about birds that beats this? |?

The Law of Finding.

The law Of finding is this: The find
er has clear title against all the world
but the owner. The proprietor Of n rail-
road car or shop has no right to demand
the property which may be found on his
premises. Such proprietor may make
resolutions in regard TO lost property
which will bind their employers, but
they cannot bind the public. The law
of finding was declared by the Kings
Bench one hundred years ago in r case
in which the facts were these: A per-
sou found n wallet containing n sum of
money on a shop floor, He handed the
wallet and contents to the shop-owner.
After three years, during which time
the owner did not call for the property,
the finder demanded the wallet and
money from the shop-keepeti The lat
ter refused TO deliver them up on ground
that they were found on his premises
The finder then sued the shop-keepcr,
ana II was held rs above etateu, lnat
against all tho world but the owner the
title Of the finder Ia perfect. And the
finder has been held TO stand in the place
of the owner. so as to be permitted TO
prevail in action against person who
found an article which the plaintiff had
originally found but subsequently lost.
The police have no special rights IN re-
gard TO articles lost unless those rights
are conferred by statute. Receivers of
articles found arc trustees for the finder.
They have no power In the absence of u
special statute to keep the article against
the finder any more than the finder has
10 retlin Il against the owner.

A BLIND MAN RECEIVES SIGHT.-
A strange case of hereditary bin dness
and the acquisition of sight after being
from BIRTH for thirty six years in total
darkness came under the notice of a re-
porter of this paper during visit to the
Missouri State Institute for the Educa-
ton of the Blind. M. F. Wells
is the man in whose life the happy
change has been made by the removal
of a cataract from one of his eyes. The
operation was performed by DR.. Will
liams. The operation differed in no re-
spect from that usually performed in
such cases, and the interesting circum-
stances alone centre in the history OF the
disease. Mr.. Wells said that he resided
in Southwest Missouri, and gained his
livelihood by preaching. He was con-
nected with the Methodist Protestant
Church. He was born in North Caro-
lina-born blind. His father and moth
er were blind and their parents were
blind. He could not trace the disease
further back in the family. He was
thirty-six years of age, and had never,
until after the operation, been able to
see in any respect. His left eye is the
one from which the cataract had been
removed. Mr.. Wells is under instruc-
lions to be slow in exercising 1t. The
right eye, upon which the cataract still
remains, looked whitlsh brown color.
Besides his parents and grandparents
being blind, three of Mr.. Wells children
are blind, and are at present inmates OF
the educational establishment on Nor
gan street, and two have their sight
lDr. Williams is confident that the &C.
QUESTION of sight Will be complete, al.
though necessarily slow.

The COMING COMET.-The comet
now visible from observatories in the
Southern Hemisphere is supposed to be
the remarkable comet of 1913. The first
record of this comet is in ITO before
Christ, with an average period of about
seven years. The subsequent visible
and recorded returns are $40 before
Chrisn, 252 and 1873 before Christ, and
after Christ 1886. 422, 533. 5s2. 7os, 72a,
1872, 1o77, 11O6, 1908, 1918, 1862, 1882,
1902, 1854, 1491, 1911, 1923, 1868, 1889,
1902, 1s43, and $780," If this theory
should prove correct, and the comet
which has been discovered at Ann Arbor
should prove to be the same as that seen
in the Southern Hemisphere, the star
gazers of the present year have delight
full prospect to look forward to. The
comet of 1S43 was wonder of wonders.
1t was first discovered as a brilliant
object close to the sun and large enough
to be seen ut MONDAY. In abouta week
a wonderful comets tail was seen skirt
ing the horizon after sunset and reach.
ing more than one third of the way
around the sky.
