Paw-Paws are Ripe.

Nice, fresh paw-paws from Mich
igan, was the sign tackled to box in
front of fancy-fruit dealers stall on
Clark street. In the box were a num-
Der of green objects about the size and
shape of small sweet potatoes.
Yes, those are paw-paws, and nice
ones said the fruit dealer. Il just
got them in. They GTe the northern
banana. They grow in southern Ohio
southern Illinois, and in the lower part
or Indiana. Very few city people eat
them, and very few know what they are.
They don lose much, I confess, he
added.
What 10 yon keep them for?"
asked his listener.
For the few people who do eat
them. Persons from the locality in
which they grow, and who ate them
whom bare-footed boys, come every
year and religiousIy feed on EN-. |
suppose it brings back recollections of
youth, and perhaps they have grown to
like them. Five cents apiece is what
charge for them.
The inquirer purchased two and be-
gan a series of experiments. The paw
paw is evidently a cross between a
''May-apple" and squash. 1t has
about seven seeds in it, which are
large enough to make a prize pumpkin
ashamed of itself. The paw-paw tastes

Nature tells Of dog that was so set
upon by a flock Of crows that he tried
to drive from a field, that they cxeated
an open wound in his neck and pecked
his head and eyes SO badly that he died.
The weather was cold at the time and
the crows were very hungry.
An oriole belonging to Mortimer
Buck of Coviugton, Penn, escaped
from its cage last summer. After its
liberty of year, it returned to the
window one day last week, flew in
upon the cage, and gave evidence Of
wild joy at being permitted TO occupy
it again.
Jim was tame crow belonging to
the late George NJ. Doll of Mill Creeh,
Pa. As Doll lay in his coffin, Jim sat
on the lid, and gazed intently on his
MASTER face through the glass cover.
The bird followed the procession to the
grave, lowering over the hearse.
Perched on tree he watched the burial;
then flew upon the grave, uttering cries
of distress. He took up his abode there.
Mrs. Doll had little house built there
for him. The crow had learned to say
George, Mr.. Dolls first name, and
was continually calling for him. Last
Sunday, when Mrs. Doll went to visit
her husbands grave, she found Jim
lying dead by the headstone. The bird
had apparently died Of grief.
Dr. Abbott tells of two catbirds that
gave evidence of uncommon intelli-
gence. They were preparing to build,
and to try them he threw out piece of
muslin, long and narrow, but two much
for one bird to carry. In few mo-
ments one of them spied it, and tried to
carry it off. unsuecessfully. After
worrying over it for some time it flew
off, and sought and returned with its
mate. Then ensued an immense chat
tering, twittering, and chipping.
Finally, having evidently agreed as to
methods, each took hold of the muslin
at about the same distance from the
ends, and starting exactly together
carried it to the unfinished nest. Bu'
when there they evidently disagreed,
and a terrible jabbering, wrangling,
and twittering ensued, which ended in
its being thrown out of the nest alto
rether and discarded as useless.

Something About Bracelets.

Bracelets have at all times been much
in use among barbaric nations, and the
women frequently wear several on the
same arm. The finer kinds are of
mother of pearl, fine gold or silver;
others OF less value are made of plated
steel, horn, brass, copper, beads, etc.
The species of personal ornament was
exceedingly common in Europe in
prehistoric times. The bracelets of
the Bronze Age were either of gold or
bronze, silver being then unknown.
In shape they were oval and ponannular
with expanding or trumpet shaped
ends, having an opening between them
of about half an inch to enable them
to be easily slipped over the wrist.
Those of gold were generally plain,
hammered rods, bent to the requisite
shape, but those of bronze were often
chased with elegant designs showing a
cultivated taste. Some forms Of spiral
armlets of bronze, peculiar TO Germany
and Scandinavia, covered the whole
forearm, and were doubtless intended,
as much for defence against a sword
stroke as for ornament. The EtruScan
and early Roman forms of bronze
bracelets were for the most part
cylindrial, with overlapping ends, or
spiral or serpent-shaped. There were
also the common forms in the Piso's
Cure for Consumption saved my life.
In this vicinity all know its merits.
L. l.. WHIPPLE, Druggist.
Kintner, Mich, March 4, 1885.
Iron Age of Northern Europe, while
silver bracelets of great elegance,
formed of plated and intertwisted
strands of silver ware, and plain
penannular hoops, round or lozenge-
shaped in section and tapering to the
extremities, became common to-
wards the close of the pagan period.
In the Middle Ages bracelets were
much less commonly used in Europe,
but the custona has continued to pre-
vail among Eastern nations at the
present time.

She entered her cottage door,
And the fairt st face had ever seen
Gladdened my heart no more.

Deluged its leaden rain,
And the turf where her feet had glided
Was piled with the dying and slain
Her home fed a furnace of flame,
As over the groans of the wounded
The glad shout of victory came.
They told us the fierce war had ended,
That for me was position and fame,
But a wound in my heart was bleeding,
And battle still ragged in my brain.
At home, on the sea, and beyond 1t,
With hope for compass l go,
Where the green northern pine tree exalt-
Where she gray Spanish moses droop
Every night with its wild dream of car

Comes vision unspeakably fair,
Awakens the hopes that have slumbered,
Then leaves me in sullen despair.

4he second Summer.

The fault lies not with the second
summer, nor with the children, but
with the heat and the parents, The
summer heat nag in itself be danger
Gus; in conjunction with bad diet it be-
comes frequently fatal. 1t is an estab.
lished fact that nearly all the mortality
among children in summer is caused
by diseases Of the digestive organs,
and that all those fatal cases would be
averted were these organs not to be-
come diseased. Now the second sum-
mer is the summer in which the artiti-
cial feeding of children has begun or is
about to begin. Rational artificial
nourishment is the proper one for chill
dren who are old enough and whose
organs have sufficiently prepared for
it, With proper feeding and intelli-
gent care few children need suffer
from stomach or bowel troubles. Sem
sible mothers in good dwellings, even
those in poor circumstances, lose no
children from this cause. Hence it is
not the second summer that kills the
children, but the ignorance or negli-
gence of those who attend them. This
is all the worse from the fact that the
rules for the proper nutrition of chill
dren are very simple-indeed, so sim
pie that they are not observed on ac-
count of their very simplicity.
My purpose, however. is not to dis
course about medicine or about my
personal views. but about popular by
giene as it is and as it should be. Now,
In the matter of the feeding of children
the most preposterous things are done,
because sanctioned by custom. In the
first place. every possible food is adj
ministered; naturally the little crea-
ture swallows everything that is put
into its mouth. ''It looks so cunning!

pires, was not the fact. Mr.. Parnell had
Tories. He used this fact to induce the
Liberals to offer him some pledges. He
preferred to trade with the Liberal leaders
to trading with those of the Conservative
party, because the former were in much
better control of the party than were the
Tory chieftains. But Mr. Gladstone, for
reasons best known to himself, declined to
make the same pledges which the Conserv-
atives had made and offered a very evasive
compromise. Parnell thereupon decided to
seal the alliance with the Tories. He felt
himself master of the situation. He calcu-
lates upon certain possessions Of o secure
balance of power IN the next parliament,
and feels sure of being able to command
enough Radical votes upon most of the
questions relating to home rule, which may

FROM the reports from the ornitho-
logical branch Of the Agricultural Blu
reau it is pretty well established that
among all the birds Of the country the
English sparrow is the greatest crimi-
nal and nearly the only useless bird.
The opinion arrived at is from the eX-
animation of the stomachs of birds,
thousands of which are inspected.
Even the crow and blackbird are given

Only once since the defeat of the Old
Guard at Chicago did Gen. Grant meet
the enemy face to face and get utterly
routed. That time the enemy was a
New York Policeman. 1t was on the
morning two years ago next winter
when the Masonic Temple was on fire.
There were great crowds on Sixth
avenue and in Twentythird street, and
Capt. Williams men had formed fire
lines across the street Oh either side OF
the Temple to give the tiremen a
chance to work unhipdered. The
crowd gave them plenty TO do, and
when a short, chunky man with CT
gar set firmly between his teeth and the
huge collar of his top-coat reaching
above his ears tried, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, to hustle past
one of the policemen that guarded the
Sixth avenue approach, he was seized
and unceremOniouly bounced off the
sidewalk. The officer didn't prod him
with his club as he probably had good
mind to do, but as be got fair grip on
the collar of that coat, and yanked its
owner into the street, he gave him some
wholesome advice, unasked, on the
subject of blockade running. The man
in the overcoat answered never word,
but logged across the street, both hands
thrust into his side-pockets and the
cigar set with just shade Of defiance
in his firm mouth, and tried to pass by
Booths Theatre. But here another
policeman who had seen him bounced
across the street got his eye upon him,
and was reaching for the tall collar,
when he was dumbfounded by seeing
his roundsman straighten up and salute
in military style: This way, General!
Make room for Gen. Grant, The
crowd and the blueDats made room at
once, and the General, with nod OF
recognition, logged on his way toward
Fifth avenue in the snow and slush,
looking neither to the right nor to the
