A Plea for the Crow.
April Wide AUdke.

For centuries the crow has been shot
at, destroyed and abused by men and
to-day how few know-Or will believe
the good that crows do in agriculture.
| refuse to let any one disturb crows
when they settle no my newly-planted
corn-fields, and my n%eighbors, here in
Southern Maryland, have to replant far
more than l do. | do not dispute that
the crows take some toll for destroying
the cut-wOrms but think them en-
titled to as much as they take.
took a neighbor through his own
cOrn-field and offered him a dollar foI
every ear of corn mot yet fully ripe)
which had been partially eaten by the
crows but which did o show traces
of the corn-wOrm. He could not find
one from which the crow had lot first
taken the worm. In no case could a
sound ear be found that had been dis
turbed by the crows. Still the same
man continues to shoot the crows.
Entomology and ornithology, in theil
practical application, are branches OF
agriculture, and there is need of much
postgraduate study in the gardens and
fields. These sciences cannot be fully
learned in the schools.

Old Age.
Scottish American.

A medical man compares al old man
to an old wagon ; with light loading
and careful usage it will last for years,
but one heavy load or sudden strain
will break it and ruin it forever. Many
people reach the age of so or 90 or 20,
measurably free from most of the pains
and infirmities of age, CHEEKY in heart
and sound in 1lealth, ripe in wisdom
and experience, with sympathies mel
lowed by age, and with reasonable
prospects and opportunities for con-
tinued usefulness III the world for Il
considerable time. Lei such persons
be thankful, but let them also be care
full. An old constitution is like an old
bone, broken with ease, mended with
difficulty. A young tree bends to the
gale, an old one snaps and falls before
the blast. A single hard lift, an hour
of heating work, an evening of expos
ure to rain or damp, a severe chill, an
excess of food, the unusual indulgence
of an appetite or passion, a sudden fit
of anger, IN improper dose of medi-
cine, any of these or similar things
may Gu off a valuable life in an hour,
and leave the fair hopes of usefulness
and enjoyment but a shapeless wreck.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1888-04-19
Choosing Material for the Memory,
Sunddy-School Times.

Sunddy-SchoOl Times.
There is a vast difference between
training ones memory and burdening
ones memory. 1t is we'll to learn how
to retain in ones memory that which it
is needful to have always Immediately
in mind. 1t is not well to tax ones
memory with the retention of a mass
of material which one can easily refer
to in available volumes. The mental
powers have their limits; and if they
are set merely, or chiefly, to the work
of memOrizing, they cannot be fresh
and free for other and more important
uses. He who has the most to do in
the realm of thought and of mental
production, will not attempt to pack
the contents of his library into his
memory. He will rather train his
memory to show him where, in that
library, to find the facts and other ma
terial to which he has need to refer.
The brain is too precious an agency to
be used merely as a s~tOrehOuse. Even
if one of us could remember every i'm
portant fact or thought which ever
came into his mind, he would be I'M
wise to try to do so. He needs his
brain power for better work than that.
Deciding what it is best to fasten in
the memory is a more important mat
ter than merely holding in the memory
whatever enters the mind.

Where to Keep Matches.

Everyone knows, or at least ought
to know, that many fires are caused by
matches carelessly left where rats and
mice a gnaw them. The fire mar
shall of Boston recently made an ex-
pertinent which clearly demonstrated
the risk from this cause. Three rats
and some matches were placed in a
cage. The first night the animals
started four fires by nIbbling the pIos
phorus ends. There was plenty Of
food placed within reach of the ami
mails, so that the experiment met AL
possible requirements. Moral-Matches
should be kept in some secure metallic
! ~receptacle.

Learning not to Smoke.

The Hon. Chauncey M. Depew is
quoted as saying: ~ have smoked
ever since L was 30. but of late years
the habit has grown upon me, until
average about twenty cigars a day. !
noticed hat | was nervous and low
spirited and my excellent digestion
was going back on me, but | called it
malaria for a while, and then talked
about nervous prostration and brain
trouble, but l knew in my inner o
seriousness that the real difficulty was
nicotine. First L tried to cut down
the number of cigars and then to
smoke milder forts, but while L would
smoke less one day I'd drop the next
back into my old habits, till finally
matters grew SO bad l was forced to
look them straight in the face and de-
eide whether l was going to permit
any habit of the sort to wreck my
health, impair my usefulness and de-
strOy my life. OF course l decided
wouldn't, and as l couldn't control the
habit, L simply abandoned it. But at
times, when | sit after dinner in a
room filled with the smoke of good
cigars, the old longing comes upon me
almost irresistibly, and L have my bat
tie to fight all over again"
