EATING CROw.-The Providence Jour
nal tells the following crow story: A
few days since man living in a town
just over the Connecticut line went hunt
ing for crows. He discovered nest in q
tall tree, and climbing up found therein
eggs, which he secured, putting some in
his pockets, but one he placed in his
mouth, descending the tree very care
fully lest he break his fragile store. He
slipped, his jaws came together and
crushed the egg in his mouth, and oh,
horrible, it contained a very young crow.
Report does not say whether the man
can eat crow or not, but it is safe to bet
the man does not banker after it.

DIR. Arnold, who has been perhaps the
most successful manager of boys among
all Of England's educators, ascribes a
great share of his success to the use Of
the cane instead of the switch. The
latter instrument causes acute, sudden
pain, and excessive anger in the victim,
but its physical effect passes quickly
away, leaving only a soured temper be-
hind. The cane, judiciously applied
where it will do the most good, leaves
deep, innocent bruises, which make the
muscles sore and stiff for several days,
and induce weary feeling of reflective
ness and resolve for the future. DR..
Arnold's experience was that one Gaming
would do as much good in school as
three or four switchings.

Stumbling Horses.

Some good horses are addicted to STUN
bling while walking or moving in slow
trot. A well versed veterinarian states
that there are two causes that would tend
to produce this faulty action; one, gen
eral weakness in the muscular system.
such as would be noticed in a tired horse
the other weakness of the exterior mus
cles of the leg. brought about by carrying
too much weight on the toe. To effect a
cure, he adds. Tighten the weight of each
front shoe about four ounces; have the
toe OF the shoe made of steel instead
Of iron. it will wear longer; have il
rounded off about the same as it would
be when one-third worn out, in order to
prevent tripping; allow one weeks rest
have the legs showered for few minutes
at time with cold water through hose,
in order to create spray then rub dry,
brisklv, from the chest down to the foot
Give walking exercise during the week
for about an hour twice day. When you
commence driving again omit the slow
jog, either walk or send him along at a
sharp trot for mile or two, then walk
away, but do not speed for ut least several
weeks. By this means the habit of STUN.
bling from either of the above causes will
be pretty well overcome.

A Yankee named Mather, who had been
for twelve years in an insurance office, WAS
in Cincinnati, out of work, and living on ten
cents a day. He had a room with certain
Mrs. Sterne, and as his bill there was assum-
ing respectable proportions, and he had no
immediate prospects Of being able to liqui-

one point told her he would advise her the

the law office of a friend, and in an off-hand
way gained the information he desired, and
the following day gave his final decision to
Mrs. Sterne. He had then accumulated q

with many expressions Of appreciation, and
her guest departed-not penniless and owing
for his lodgings, but free of debt, and hav-

story is that the money thus obtained gave
him start, from which he quickly rose to =

after becoming established in q business
yielding an income of $500 year, was to
hunt up Mrs. Sterne and send her a check
