ON one occasion a IIiphlande

Ok one occasion a Highlander
sailed in the packet from Aberdeen
to Crantion. 1t was the first time
that Donald had been on board
ship, and the novel scene interes-
ted him greatly. So long as the
vessel was in smooth water he en-
ioyed the sail very much, but ere
long squall came on, causing the
ship to pitch and roll in a manner
which to Donald was very much
alarmed. Irritated by being
bumped about, and suffering, be-
sides, from certain disagreeable
internal sensations, he made his
way to the deck to find out the
cause Of the ships bad behavior.
Arrived there, he was taking a sur
vev the scene, when his eye light
ed on the steersman. The latter
did not work by the wheel, but by
the old-fashoned, long handled rud-
der, and, after cycling his proceed
ing5 fora minute, the cloud Of wrath
on the IIighlander's brow grew
black as night He advanced to-
wards the steersman in a stealthy
way, and the instant he was with
in reach knocked him down by q
blow with his fist, ezclaiming, as
he did so, TAX that, You william,

eating CROW. y

This well known phrase, which
is 50 often applied in political ar
ticles and speeches to those who
are constrained to support candi-
ate whom they do not like, or have
previously opposed, came into
vogue through an anecdote pub
ished in the huicker50cker Maq-
as57oo over a quarter Of a century
ago.
1t was q story ola clearinghouse
keeper Oh the Hudson and Of an
indignant patron. Whenever the
latter yentured to suggest that the
spring chicken was rather tough,
or that the roast beef must have
been cut from the cows hoofs. he
was directly told that he was too
pertiekerler," and that the autocrat
Of the table and the house could
eat anything, even a crow. This
settled the matter for the time be-
ing, but the boarder convinced
against his will was Of the same
opinion still, at all events, IN regard
to the quality of the edibles plac-
ed before him. So often was the
remark, II can eat anything; | kin
eat crow" brought down on his
devoted head that he finally resolv-
ed to try the old man. lie went
out cunning one day and succeed
ed in bagging very fine, fat, old
black crow. He went into the
kitchen and by dint Of soft words
and filthy lucre, induced the cook
to allow him to prepare that crow
for the table. He boiled it nicely
and it wasn't such a bad looking
dish after all. His heart misgav G
him; the flinty old cuss would eat
it after all. The cook was Scotch
woman and used snuff. He Dor
rowed all she had and sprinkled it
literally over the crow, gave her
another simmer, and then taking
it on a salver brought it before his
host, saying as he sat it down,
CHOW, my dear sir, you have said
a thousand times, if you have said
it once, that you can eat crow.
Here is one very carefully cooked"
1t is said the old man turned pale
for moment, but braced himself
against the back Of his chair, and
with Il kin eat crow" he began
cutting good mouthful. He swal-
lowed it, and then prepared for a
second onslaught, he looked his
boarder straight in the eye, while
he calculated, "I've eaten crow"
and took his second portion. lie
lifted his hands mechanically, as If
for a third onslaught, but dropped
them quickly over the region Of
the stomach, and, rising hurriedly
and unsteadily, retreated for the
door, muttering as he went, "but
dang me i'll banker arter it.

TIE RAILWAYS OF THE
WORLD.

The lines Of railways in the five
divisions of the earth cost, in round
numbers, is, 600, 900, 0OOand would,
according to Baron Kolb, reach
eight times round the globe, al
though it is but little over half q
century since the first railway work
ed by steam was opened between
Darlington and Stockton, Sept. q,
1926, and between Manchester and
Liverpool Sept. u, 1880. 1t is
shown that in France, previous to
the existence of railways, there was
one passenger in every 335, 0O0
killed, and one ont of every 80, 900
wounded; whereas between 1885
and 1875, there was but one in
SITS, $50 killed, and one in
$50, $50 wounded, so that we may
infer that the tendency ozaccidents
is yearly diminishing. Railway
travelling in England IS attended
with greater risk than in any other
country in Europe. 4 French
statistician observes that, if a per
son were to live continually in a
railway carriage, and spend all his
time in railway travelling, the
chances Of his dying from a rail
way accident would not occur till
he was $50 years old.

PITCHES OF RED SNOW.
4 CURIOUS SUMMER SIGHT IN THE
HOLY CROSS REGION. COLORADO.

Prospectors returning from the
Holy Gross country, and especially
from the head Of Cross creek. report
that the ground Is covered with red
snow. In the almost inaccessible
defils<of Mount Shasta, in Califor-
MIA. is the only other known place
in the United States where this IS
seen. In polar regions it is fami-
liar sight, and no extensive travel
er there returns without descrip-
ton oft. The broad fields of ever
lasting snow that tanks the north
ern coast of Greenland are fanked
with the strange blood red, and
further toward the poles miles OF it
stretch as far as the naked eye can
reach. The phenomena Is due to
the presence Of a minute red anam-
alculae III the snow. j microscope
detects its presence, but how it got
there is a difficult question, and one
that has never been quite satistac-
torilY answered. The red snow in
this region is first seen at the head
Of Cross creek, where it may be OBJ
served in patches Of intense car
mine, varying in area from as large
as a mans hat to twenty feet in d.
ameter. Taken in the hand and
closely examined, nothing can be
detected that gives its color, and it
melts into clear red water, leaving
no stain. Further on, in some OF
the steep gulches with which the
country abounds, the bottoms are
entirely covered with che strange
substance. In some places the col
or is vivid in the extreme, while in
others it fades to a faint pink, pro
ducing an effect not readily describ-
ed in words. Old prospectors, who
penetrated the region two years ago,
say that there was no snow Of this
description there, and its fall can
scarcely have antedated this year.
Still higher, and at the very foot OF
the mountain, the red snow disap-
pears and nothing save the pure
white coyerIet greets the eye. How
the same tiny insect that sends the
Boreal can find their way to the in
accessible Holy Gross, is thing
beyond human ken and will be a
problem for the scientists of the
future to ponder over.

HOW FOWLS GRIND THEIR
FOOD.

Fowls have no teeth to grind or
masticate their food with, and the
best they are able to do with it is
to pick it and swallow it whole.
Kernels Of grain are swallowed by
them, and as they are surrounded
by a tough pellicle or skin, which
the stomach Of the animals will not
readily dissolve or digest, they
could obtain no nourishment at all
from the grain, if this tough pei
licle was not broken. Now, if we
dissect the gizzard Of a fowl Of any
kind, we have lot of small gray
cl stones, which are usually the
hardest kind Of flint, granite or
sandstone. Su.ly here IS peck
ct edition Of farm grist mills.
Fowls swallow their food, hroI-
en- or not. and Il enters the crop OF
first stomach and remains in it I'M
I'll it has become sottened more or
less, when a small quantity at a
time, iast as grain runs into q grist-
mill, is forced into Il gizzard among
the gravel stones. This gizzard is
4 strong muscular stomach, and
plays night and day when there is
grist to grind, similar to the bel
lows, contracting and expanding,
thus forcing the gravel stones into
the grain and breaking it into trag-
ments and triturating the whole
mass, after which it is in a suitable
condition to be quickly digested.

BOY INVENTORS.

Some Of the most important in
ventions have been the work of
mere boys. The invention Of the
valve motion to the steam engine
was made by a boy. Watts left
the engine in a very incomplete
condition, from thcf that he had
no way to open or close the valves
except by means Of levers operated
by the hand. lie set up a large
engine at one Of the mines, and a
boy was hired to work the valve
levers; although this was not hard
work, yet it required his constant
attention. As he was working
these levers, he saw that parts OF
the engine moved III the right di-
rection and at the exact time that
he had to open or close the valves.
He procured q strong cord and
made one end fast to the proper
part of the engine, and the other
end to the valve lever; the boy had
the satisfaction Of seeing the engine
move with a perfect regularity OF
motion. A short time after, the
foreman came around and saw the
boy playing marbles at the door.
Looking at the engine he soon saw
the ingenuity Of the boy, and also
the advantage ofso great an inycn-
ton. Mr.. Watts then carried out
the boys inventive genius IN a
practical form, and made the steam
engine a perfect automatic working
machine.
The power loom is the invention
of farmer boy who had never
seen or heard Of such thing. lie
whitfield one out with his iack-knife
and after he had got it all done, he,
with great enthusiasm, showed it
to his father, who kicked it all to
pieces, saying, he would have no
boy about him that would spend
his time on such foolish things.
The boy gathered up the pieces and
laid them away. Soon after that
his father bound him out as an APP
prentice to a blacksmith, about
twelve miles from home. The boy
was delighted at the idea Of learn
ing trade, and he soon found that
his new master was kind and took
a lively interest in him. lie had
made loom of what was left of
the one his father had broken up,
which he showed to bis master.
The blacksmith saw that he had no
common apprentice, and that the
invention was q valuable one. He
had loom constructed under the
supervision Of the boy; it worked
to their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms, and the
boy was to receive one-half the
profits. In about a year the black
smith wrote to the boys father
that he would be at his home at a
given time and should bring with
him a wealthy gentleman who was
the inventor Of the celebrated pow
er loom. You may be able to
Judge of the establishment at the
old home when his son was preseu-
ted to him as the inventor, who
told him that his loom was the
same as the model that he had
kicked to pieces but a year before.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVI-
DENCE.

A lawyer in Central New York
gives the following account Of one
Of his first cases:
My client sued ncighbor for
the alleged killing Of a favorite
dog. The proof consisted in the
mysterious disappearance Of the
animal, and the possession Of a
dogs skin by the defendant, which,
after considerable argument, was
brought into court in evidence. 1t
was marked in singular manner,
and was positively identified, with
many tears, by the plaintiffs wife
and daughter as the undoubted in
tegument Of the deceased Bose. In
summing up to the jury, | was in
the midst Of a highly colored pict-
urc of the virtues Of the deceased,
and Of the love Of the children for
their four footed friend, when | was
interrupted by a slight disturbance
in the crowd near the door Of the
little school-house which served as
courthouse. Looking around, |
saw my clients youngest son, a
tow-headed urchin Of twelve, com
ing forward with a dog whose skin
was the exact counterpart Of the
one put in evidence. The dog
wagged his tail with good-natured
composure, and the boy cried, in
his childish treble, Paw, Bose has
come home | gathered up my
law books and retreated, andI have
never had perfect confidence in cir
cumstantial evidence since.
