A HEARTLEss ruse to capture an en-
bezzlcr was resorted TO by Philadelphia
detectives a few days ago. Gleason Ely
embezzled $1,000 from his employers
and skipped to Canada. The detectives
sent him a decoy letter purportmg to
have been written by his mother, who
lives in Bethlehem, Pa, stating that his
brother was dead, and asking him to at
tend the funeral. He came, and was
arrested.

TIE Philadelphia Press thinks that
the banishmcnt of the Bourbon and Ma
polcon %pretcndeys to the French throne
is simply a confession to the world that
the French Republic is in the throes of
death. Ii the French people believe in
and wish a Republic. the prctendcrs
would be powerlcss to disturb the tran
guilty Of the nation, and the fact that
their Punishment seems to have become
q necessity, declares their power, pro-
claims the weakness OF the government
and practically challenges another rev.
0lutiOn.

THERE are 1000 women employed
in the departments at Washington.
They come, as a rule, from good fan1i-
lies. Many Of them are the widows Of
noted generals, the daughters of ey-
governors, ex-congresslnen, and now
and then you will find the relative of a
president or cabinet minister. Many
of them have Travelled widely, and the
majority are educated and refined ladies.
They do all kinds of work and receive
salaries ranging from 1920 to $1,000.

TIE loss of our song birds is a scri-
Gus loss. The sparrows are accused Of
being one cause of the loss, and the
passion for feather trimmings is said 10
be another. Both of these causes are
efficient, but there is another, which
certainly should be taken into account.
and it is the growth of the science Of
~ornithology. Half the children in the
land are engaged in the collection Of
objects Of natural history. and birds
nests and birds eggs always play a
leading part in such collections.

CROP-BOUND FOWLS.
How to Remove Distractions In tho
Passage Is the Gizzard.

How to Remove distractions In tho
Passage Is the Gizzard.
When the crop becomes hard and
swollen to an unusual size it indicates
that the passage from the crop to the
gizzard is closed or stopped up. The
usua! mode of relief is to cut the crop
and remove the contents, but this will
avail nothing unless the obstruction in
the passage to the gizzard be removed.
The obstruction will usually be found
to consist Of old rope, bagging, dried
grass, rag iOr some other material
which has been packed in the passage
during the effort to force it into the
gizzard. Now for the treatment: Hold
the bird firmly and make an incision
about an inch in length, across the
crop, and about one-third the distance
up, first pulling the outer skin to one
side. Then empty the crop of its con-
tents. Next examine for the Obstruc-
ton by probing with the finger into the
passage way, pulling out the material
doing the mischief. Now wash
the crop with warm water, adding five
drops carDOllc acl0 TO pint OF water.
Tie the inner skin together with
piece of silk thread, after stitching it
with fine needle, and pull the outer
skin over the wound, stitching it in
like manner. The fowl will suffer no
inconvenience. Separate it from the
the others, and feed on soft food for
few days, and it will show no signs of
the operation. When a bird is crop
bound it starves with full crop. That
is. if the crop is full and the passage
closed, no food can enter the gizzard.
Being hungry the bird picks up'food
wherever it can be found, the crop
becoming more and more distended,
and it dies from exhaustion, although
in its crop there may be an excess of
food. No injury will result from the
cutting if properly performed. Farm.

:. UNDER DRAINAGE.
Some OF the Advantages Which, It Secures

Some OF the Advantages Which 1t Secures
to the Wide-Awake Farmer.
All naturally wet lands are improved
by Undertaking. 1t not only takes of
the surplus water. leaving the land dry
and friable, but prevents that excessive
drying and baking in time of drought.
The soil being more porous. it holds.
more moisture by capillary attraction.
and the evaporation is not so rapid
and complete: Besides, there is freer
circulation of air through the soil, and
air always contains Moisture, which
cOndenses in the cool soil, and is left
there to. refresh the thirsty roots of
growing crops. The soil is not only
more open to receive. the air by means
of the pressure Of fifteen pounds to the
square inch on the surface. but it
enters all through the drains, in the
cool recesses of which it IS condensed
and furnishes moisture to be drawn up
ward by capillary attraction, aug
mented by the surface heat. BY pre-
venting water from standing anil stag
mating on the surface, it also prevents
the identification that takes place
under such conditions While a certain
amount of moisture, such as is secured
by mulching. is required for the process
Of nitrificatiOn, the presence of air is
also required. but air is excluded
where the surface is covered with
water; and in this case the opposite
process goes on-the water absorbs the
nitrogen in the soil and it passes of
with the corporations in the form Of
ammonia In this way the soilbecomes
denitrified. 1t costs something to under
drain-and so does every thing that
pays. Bat it is within the reach Of
every farmer to do little underdrain-
ing each year. 1t will not only add
value to the farm. but pay as money

A GOOD DOG STORY.

Singular Performances of Puppy With
an Eye for Form and Size.
Reading recently of dog that had a
fondness for collecting wood. and that
had formed large pile of all sorts Of
wood, called to mind setter pupil
once had. He was so young when
brought to the house that he had to be
fed with the bottle like baby. As he
grew older he was put in the kennel
with collie dog. to whom he became
strongly attached. The collie was
kept chained, but the little setter had
free range. One day the puppy was
nowhere to be seen, but later he came
up the hill with an empty condensed
milk can and set it up in front Of the
kennel He again disappeared and
soon returned with another can. which
he placed close to- the first, This per-
formanEe was continued by the little
fellow. until there were Eve cans placed
I'M a straight line, one touching the
other. My curiosity at the pups
strange doings led me to follow him.
He went to a shallow pit some distance
away from the house, where empty
cans were thrown, and searched among
them until he found another milk-can,
which he carried rather YEARLY up the
hill. Having first assured myself that
there was no more milk-cans, waited
for the dogs return to see what he
would do. J, He made a great clatier
among the cans, but found none of the
sort he wanted Then he came to me
whining. as if to say: Find me another
can, :" but when he saw / could not
help him he went off to his beloved
collie, looked at the row of cabs, and
then coaxed the large dog out of the
kennel. His delight was great when
the collie knocked over the cans as he
walked to the end of his chain, Then
he set them up again and sat down,
looking the picture Of content. The
cans were taken away and put back in
the pit. The next day the same per-
Torrance was repeated. Afterward !
had the milk cans hid to see whether
puppy would bring others. He searched
for them. but, not finding them, would
not touch the others. When, however,
the milk cans were put back again he
once more brought them to his friend
with joyful tail-wagging. It certainly
was singular performances, and would
seem to indicate that the puppy had an
eye for form and size. 1t was very
strange, too, that he always arranged
them in straight line.-N Y Com

Saving GLOVER SEED.
How and When. This, Important Work
~ Should Be Done.

-. Should Be Done.
As is generally understood, it is only
the second crop of clover that, as a
Iqle, be4rs enough seed to pay for har-
.xesting for this purpose. Some pasture
.fR clover the first part of the season,
3nstead Of cutting the crop for hay.
;talaiig the stock off about the middiB
of May or first of June. according to
season and latitude. Generally, how
ever. the first crop is cut. Often. q
serious mistake is made by those who
wish TO savea crop of seed in letting
the first crop stand too long before cut
ting, as by so dong. the. plants are so
much exhausted in the effort of perfect
ing a crop of seed that, "a good second,
crop can not be produced. s.,ss
When the clover is to be cut for the
seed it should be done when about
three-fourths Of the blossoms have be-
come brown. Il is not necessary that
they all bet brown. for the seed Of the
unripened heads will mature after cut
ting. H'let stand until ALI are drowned
the first ripened viii drop off in hand
ling and be lost. -t,h'9
The, cutting may be done with a
scythe, mower or reaper. 1t is best,
however, to so cut it that it will be left
in lunches as thereby the handling is
facilitated. The crop will hardly. be
so dense that it needs to-, be spread out
in order that it may dry. and cure. A
good implement for cutting seed clover
is an ordinary dropper. To prevent
the clover falling between the sl3ts
these may be. covered, with Sheet iron.
After cuttin9.iti is allowed to lay until
perfectly dry. If it S rained on it will
not .injnre the Assed, but make the,
threshing easier; though if cured willis
ont rain the hay viii be- of,value as
stock food, after the seed has been re-
moved. :. As the seed is what is wanted.
it. is recommended that the clover be
cut rather high, as by this means. the
less valuable parts of the stems, are
left on the ground to protect the roots
of the plants against the scorching sun
of the summer and frosts of winter,
and the farmer is saved handling so
large bulk. of straw.
The seed clings rather closely to the
chaff, but if thoroughly dried it can be
threshed with fails. The best time
for this is in cold, dry weather in the
yinter.-Colman's Rural World.
