How to Get Rio of the Grows.

a Chester Pa9 gentleman tells an
interesting story of the manner in
which Delaware county farmer got
rid of crows, He was greatly troubled
by the depradations of these birds,
and all the means to drive them
away permanently having failed, he
tried an original plan. Takinga half
peck or more of corn he soaked it
thoroughly in whiskey and then scat
tered the cereal along the fence of the
field chiefly visited by the ieathered
thieves. He soon had a number OF
crows eating the doctOred corn, and
as they didn't fly away he went to
observe the effect Of the dose. He
found every crow drunk, some lying
over on their sides, Others tottering
around in maudlin attempt to fly
He could have killed every one, but
resolved to await the outcome of the
drunk, Gradually the birds recover,
ed, and one by one flew unsteadily
away. During the remainder Of the
season the farmer was not troubled
by a single crow. 4'' '''i' '' t''.N

A Pure Food Law.

Farm and Home, Springfield, Mass.
Congressman Burnett of Massachu-
sets may blossom out as the father of
a national Standardization law. He
upholds the oleomargarine legisla-
ton, but since the effort to secure a
similar law in behalf of pure lard, he
has been led to inquire into the
whole matter Of food adulteration.
He is compiling bin to cover the
whole subject. The sentiment in IA
vor of such a law is growing rapidly.
Mr.. Burnett believes that it would be
a measure Of the greatest possible
benefit to this country and to Ameri-
can farmers in particular. He would
have the'law in some respects more
stringent than the present oleomar-
garine statute, and would especially
prohibit the expectation of amy adul-
ated American food products. He
believes that while such law would
work some hardship to small inter
ests at first, it would result in placing
all American food products at the
very top of the markets of the world

How Shall We Sleep.

Whether one position in sleep is
better than another may be an i'm
portant question, but it does not seem
to have been authoritively settled
that any particular position is best to
adopt. Sleeping on the right side is
more common than on the left, and
sleeping on the back is comparative
ly rare. Evidence has been found to
show that sleeping on the left side
favors bronchitis, and sleeping on the
right side appears to increase ten
dency to constipation. 1t has been
strongly urged that health and long
evity are best secured by lowering the
head and raising the feet in sleep,
though some. nervous affections re-
quire partially erect posture. +

American Plate Glass.

1t is claimed that the largest and
best plates of glass in. the world are
now made in Pittsburg, and that diff
ficulty often arises in their transport
tation owing to their size, the rail
road tunnels not admitting them.
Two plates, l4Xl6 feet, were recently
ordered for use in 4 Philadelphia
building, and it was found to be inn
possible to get rail transportation for
them. Arrangements were therefore
made to have them shipped by river
to New Orleans and thence by sea to

The Elements Not Patentable.

In arguing the Bell telephone case
before the Commissioners of Patents
the other day, Robert G. Ingersoll,
one of the counsel, closed his argu-
ment with the following pertinent re-
marks, which it will be well for all
inventors to remember. The con-
clusions are sound and as applicable
in other cases as the one on which the
learned counsel made the application:
III do not believe any man can pat
ent the idea of sending speech by
electricity. He can patent devices by
which that can be done, but he can
not get patent on the lightning. A
man can patent water wheel but he
cannot patent the water, or say to the
water you cannot turn any other
wheel but mine. A man can patent
windmill, but not the wind, and
any man who can make better mill
may use the same wind, because we
do not get our entire stock of wind
from the Patent Office or from the at.
torneys on the other side. Wind is
the free gift of all politicians, and,
looking at the attorneys of the Bell
people, without wind where would
your case be?o --. 3liiI AA.A +.

The Cinder in Your Eye.

~ { U
A few years since, | was riding on
an engine. The engineer threw open
the front window, and / caught a
cinder that gave me the most excru-
ciating pain. l began to rub the eye
with both hands. "Let your eye
alone, and rub the other eye" said
the engineer. 81 know you doctors
think you know it all; but If you
will let that eye alone, and rub the
other one, the cinder will be out in
two minuts," he persisted. / began
to rub the other eye; and soon / felt
the cinder down near the inner
canthus, and made ready to take it
out. "Let it alone, and keep at the
well eye" shouted the doctor pro
tenn. / did so for a minute longer,
and, looking in small glass he gave
me, found the offender on my cheek.
Since then / have tried it many
times, and have advised many
others, and have never known it to
fail in one instance (unless it was
sharp as a piece of steel, or something
that cut into the ball and required
an operation to remove iD. Why il
is SO, do not know; but that it is so
l do know, and that one may be
saved much suffering if he will let thu
injured eye alone, and rub the vel

The Young Women's Chri stian Temper ance union of Fair Haven is now thing oi the past. It dis5auded some little time age and it is probable that no attempt will be made to reorgauize it before next spring,
 The causes which led to it's disbandment were muItifarious. The union was started with a good membership, which was gradually in creased until it had forty names on its rolls Mrs. Ella Dudley was elected president and everything went along smoc enty for time. Headquarters were established in Kings block and several rooms were most neatly fitted up. There was reading room, par Tor and a kitchen. The union gave a nun of entertainments that were qQite successful but it appears to have b=en under too heavy expense in maintaining the headquarters aud financial questions entered largely into the deliberations that were held prior to the de- eision of the question of disbandiDg the union.
 Then, again, when Mrs. Dudley resigned there was much difficulty experienced in ind ing anyone to take her place, and the organi- zation was thus left without head for some little time. The bills of the union have all been paid, however, and the VIC. T U. have taken the rooms in Kings block. Many peo- pie sincerely hope that the union may besnc. cessfully reorganized in the spring.
 A large number of Fair Haven people, members of the local division of the Sons of Temperance, attended silver wedding sur- prise party rendered to MT. Rounds of New Haven last night by Harmony division, s. of T., to which he belonged.
 The W.C.T.U. will give an entertainment in Central Hall block next Wednesday night. Supper will be served for 15 cents.
 Papers are in circulation in the Fair Haven wards for the signatures of Republicans who are willing to form Republican club.
 The funeral services over the remains of the late Hendrick H. Munson will take place to-day. The Rev pr. Vibbert will officiate

BOY BADLY BURNED.

A Three Year Old Son of William Bren-
 nan Upsetg a Lamp and Ills Clothing
 Takes Fire.
 Willie Brennan, the three year old son of William Brennan, who lives near the corner of Wallace and Greene streets, was badly burned Sunday evening.
 He was playing near table on which was lighted lamp. Catching hold of the table, cloth he pulled it from the table. The lamp came with it and in falling it covered the boy with oil and the clothing of the child took fire.
 When the parents of the children who were playing with the boy rushed in the boy was in mass of flames, and before they could be extinguished he was fearfully burned. Dr. J. F. Luby was summoned and found that the little fellows face, body and arms were badly burned.
 It is doubtful if the boy can recover, and even if his life is saved he is burned in so many places that he will be terribly maimed.
