WOOdcOck Carrying Their
Young.

London Times.
1t is now pretty well known that of the
woodcock which arrive In the British
Islands in October large number remain
each year to pair and nest in suitable
localities and this being so no doubt the
following curious habit of the perent
birds has only to be called attention too
be fully corroborated: The late Mr..
Lloyd, in his Scandinavian Adventures" :"
wrote: "If in shooting you meet with a
brood of woodcocks and the young ones
cannot fly, the old bird takes them
separtely between her feet and flies from
the dogs with moaning cry" aud Mr..
Harting, in the November number Of his
journal, the zoologist, has been at the
trouble to collect all the records of so
strange habit, from which reccrd il
would appear that there is difference
among observers as TO wether the young
birds are carried In the laws of the parent
bird or pressed between her breast and
legs. One of the brothers Stuart, in the
second volume Of the "Lays OF the Deer
Forest, in very graphic account of the
troubles which the old woodcocks have
with their young ones, says that he saw q
woodcock rising with young bird in her
feet her long legs dangling and swinging
with her little burden, like parachute,
lighted at no great distance, but as he at
once came upon her she got up. In her
hurry she dropped The young bird. She
came to the ground, however almost at
the same time as the young one; running
back she sat upon him and rose again
with him in her claws.
H. IAhn In hso
History and Sport in Moray" declares
''that the old woodcock carries her
young, even when larger than a snipe,
not in her claws, which seem quite in
capable of holding up any weight, but
by clasping the little bird tightly be-
tween her thighs, and so holding IL tight
to her own body" and, further, ''that
in the spring and summer evenings the
woodcock may be seen 30 employed,
passing to and fro and uttering a gentle
cry on their way from the woods to the
marshes where they feed" This accnunt
has always been confirmed by several
observers in ireland, but some other
observers still declare that they have
seen the young birds actually carried in
the claws of the old ones. So while il is
placed beyond doubt that the wood
cocks can carry their young from place
to place, not only when flying from
enemies, but also when gowiDg out to
feed and returning, there is yet some
uncertainty as to the exact method; but
doubtless this will soon be settled by
further observations. According to Au-
dubon the same habit has been observed
IN the American species and apparently,
ID also sometimes occurs in our common
snIpe.

A man had q tooth extracted by a
Chinese dentist, and expressed regret for
the loss. A girl whose jaws were over
crowded with teeth entered the office to
have two of them taken out. The dentist
suggested the experiment of transferring
one of these sound teeth to the vacancy
in the mans mouth, and the operation
was performed with success, the tooth
growing fast and firm in ten days.

We are prepared at this time to
show our customers large stock
of the most reliable makes of
Bleached and Brown Muslins, from
one to two and half yards wide at
jobber's prices on the day OF sale.
Whilst we deprecate selling these
goods at WHOLESALE PRICES on
account OF some small dealers,
whose stocks are composed almost
entirely of Domestic goods, yet we
have been forced to itby would-be
reputable houses, who have no
price on them except to getall they
can when they can or, when the
case may need, use them as
"bait" to sell other goods at higher
prices than q lone price" house
would charge for them.
Blu yers should always bear in
mind that house which has more
than one price there Is no telling
how many they do have. and the
one that has but ONE PRICE Is al
ways careful that that price is the
LOWEST,

the limited extent for which they were q
legal tender, the people woke up to the
fact that the Government was engaged in
a very small piece of petty swindling,
and an outcry went up from
banks and commercial houses every
where at the unmitigated nui-
sance Of this deluge of subsidiary
silver. The dissatisfaction became so
great at last that Congress was forced to
permit these to be dumped back into the
Treasury to the extent of some thirty
millions, if we are not mistaken, where
they lie yet in large part and are likely
to remain, unless the present movement
shall lead to their recoinage into quar-
ters and half dollars and dimes that are
honestly the fractions which they now
falsely pretend to be of the real
dollar piece. Silver bullion is now cheap
enough to permit this even if Congress
were disposed to be SO picayunish as to
put out few millions of base coins that
carry lie on their face, and which the
Government will not receive back in
payment of its own duties, postages or
other dues. No, gentlemen, let the sub
sidiary coin be truly the fractions of the
dollar which it assumes to be and then
a legal tender for duties or debts exactly
as is the Dollar of the Daddies, about
which we have INDUCED in so much
poetic rhapsody.

SUBSIDIARY SILVER COIN.

1t appears after all that ray or two
ST common sense does from time to time
manage to penetrate the darkness that
clouds the average Congressional mind.
The stupidity that has characterized the
treatment of the silver trade dollar and
our subsidiary silver coin has been such
that we had about given up the talented
members of the present Congress as abso-
lutely past praying for, when here
comes along dispatch from Wash
ington saying that "the House
Committee on Coinage. Weights, and
Measures directed on the 23d inst. Mr..
Clafflin to propose bill to have all sub.
sidiary silver half dollars now in the
Treasury recoined in half dollars of full
standard weight, 2O61 grains and 9-1O
fine, and these to be legal tender in pay
ment of all dues"
Something like twenty-five or thirty
years ago when silver was at a premium
of from to 7 per cent. above gold
there was tendency in our subsi-
diary silver coin to slip over
the Canada borders and hide away
in the stocking feet of our Canuck
neighbors to an inconyenient extent.
To prevent this the plan was borrowed
from those same Canucks to tighten our
subsidiary coins to about the value of
the abased Canada money and put them
afoat. This was done, and the Canada
boarding was stopped, since the intrinsic
value of this coin was considerably less
than that of the silver dollar of which
it assumed to be fractions. During
our war, silver generally went into
the melting pot or was boarded
away for its value as bullion;
but when the Government returned to
coin payments, silver had sunk to dis
count as compared with gold, but our
wise Legislators went on coming vast
quantities Of quarters and half-dollar
pieces that were not intrinsically worth
nearly the half or the quarter of the
silver dollar, the unit of our National
coin. For awhile the people took these
in unlimited quantities, and passed them
out in their ordinary commercial
transactions, Notwithstanding that
they were not legal tender except for
q limited amount, but presently when
these were presented to the United
States repositories and refused, except 10
