Birds Can Count.

"Birds have at least vague idea of
the number of eggs in their nests, for
we can not take out without causing in
them disluiet that becomes greater if
we remove more. But they manifest
like distress when their eggs arc only
disarrangcd. Is this because the
gcomrtricnl arrangement Of the eggs is
changcd9 Five eggs or four make n
symmetrical arrangoIo ont rs tho bird
disposes of them. But if some arc taken
out, end three, or two, or one nrc left,
the disposition is very perceptibly
changed.
"linve they also the faculty Of cstimat-
ing numbers rs successive rcpetitions of
the same facts in time, or of counting
the rcitoration of the same perceptionsl
l was once told of a workman who was
in the habit OF giving sugar every day
TO dog he met in going to his work.
The dog counted on his daily return.
He gave three pieces of sugar one after
the other, and the dog would wait and
look till it got the third piece, when 1t
seemed satisfied and did not ask for any
more. 1t had, therefore, tho notion OF
these three successive facts, and could
count them.
"Houzeau de la Halo tells of q pelican
living in II iisherman's family Mt Santo
Domingo that was fed upon the refuse
of the fish cleaning. Looking for its
food, it went to the shore every day and
waited for the boats TO come back The
fishermen rested on Sunday, and the
bird &C .uired so clear notion of the re-
turn of that day, when it had to fast,
that it would not stir from the tree on
which it was accustomed to spend its
time. 1t is not necessary to suppose
that the pelican had learned to count
the six days at the end of which its
masters would not go fishing; but,
while it really estimated daily tho timo
when it must make its excursion 10 the
shore, it was informed of the return of
Sunday by observation Of what was
going on in the house, MS, for instance,
by tho fishermen putting on their Sun
day clothes; in the same way as the dog
knew when its master was going to hunt
by seeing him with his gun and game
bag. - Washington Star.

A PrecocIous Criminal.

A nice little girl is one Celina Doiselet,
for that is the namo of the little monster
who has just appeared before the Assize
Court of the Aube, in France, on the
charge of deliberately killing two chill
dren. She herself is but child not yet
thirteen years of age; but in the spring
of the past year she was placed in
service by her parents, her duties being
those of nurscmaid. She had two
little boys TO take charge of, aged re-
spectively three years and six months,
and it seems from the evidence given
that this youthful criminal, being of a
lazy disposition, did not like having to
take care of them. So as means OF re.
lieving herself of her little charges, she
killed them both, the elder one Paul, by
twisting a pillowcase about his head
and sitting upon him till he ceased to
breathe, tho younger one by stuffing a
handkerchief into his mouth and kneei-
ing on his chest. Doth the children
were thus got rid OF the same day. The
murderer was asked in court whether
she regretted having committed these
terrible crimes, and she said she thought
she did. This precocious criminal has
been sent to house of correction for
ten years. When sho comes out it is to
doubted whether she will get another
place as nursomaid.-London STANDARD.

Tea and Coffee.

Tea Is nerve stImulant, pure and
simple, acting like alcohol in this respect,
without any value that the latter may
possess rs II rctarder of waste. It has
special influence upon those nerve
centres thatsupply will power, exalting
their sensibility beyond normal activity,
and may even produce hysterical symp-
tome, if carried far enough. It's active
principle, theme, is an exceedingly
powerful drug, chiefly employed by
nerve specialists rs pam destroyer pos
sessing the singular quality of working
toward the surface. That is to say,
when dose is administered hypodermi-
cally for sciatica, for example, the mar
cotic influence proceeds outward from the
point of injection, instead of inwards to-
ward the ccntcrs, rs does that of NOR
phia, atropia, etc. Tea is totally de-
void of nutritive value, and the habit of
drinking it to excess, which 30 many
American women indulge in, particular
ly in the country, is to be deplorcd as
cause of our American nervousness.
Coilee, on the contrary, is nerve
! food. Like other concentrated foods of
its class, it operates rs stimulant also,
but upon different set of nerves from
tea. Taken strong in the morning, it
often produces dizziness and that Pc
culiar visual symptom of over stimulus
that is muscr volitantes flies.
But this is an improper way to take it,
and rightly used it is, perhaps, the most
valuable liquid addition to the morning
meal. 1t should be made as stong as
possible at first in q drip bag, and q
tablespoonful or two of the liquid added
slowly to large cupful of equal parts
of hot milk and cream, in which have
been previously dissolved two or three
Jumps of sugar. It's active principle,
caffeine, differs in all physiological re-
spects from theme, while it is chemically
very closely allied, and its limited con.
sumption, as compared with tea, makes
it impotent for harm.

History of Robin Redhreast.

At the Archaeological Society, DR..
Robert Fletcher read a paper on the
myths of Robin Redbreast in Early
English Poetry" From early dates, he
said, this bird has been regarded as dis.
tinctively the friend of man, and in the
story of the Babes in the Woods the
legend is told Of the robin covering
the bodies of persons with moss and
leaves. Hence in England the voice
of the redbreast in winter is re.
garded as an omen of good fortune,
from which idea came his name of
robin, which was early applied to house.
hold fairies. Springing from this is a
superstition that TO kill robin, or to
rob its nest, is unlucky. Many legends
and poetic stories have been related to
account for the origin of the red breast
Of the robin. Among the Welsh poets
there is legend that the rcd stain came
from the blood of Christ when the bird
wss endeavoring to draw thorn from
the forehead of the cruci6sd Saviour.

Pine Straw for Cotton Barring.

Commissioner of Agriculture Hender-
son, of Georgia, says: ~ don't see why
pine straw bngging should not be manu-
featured quite extensively in Georgia.
The material costs nothing, and the
preparation of the fiber is not at oil com.
plicaled. The manufacture is simple,
and the product has been tested and
found good. think VIC will have manu-
factories in Georgia for its production,
and at an early day. was over in Au-
gusta few days since, and my under
standing was that there is stock COM
pany being formed there which will GO
into the business on an extensive scale.
Small plants for the weaving of bag
ging will be established at different
points in the State, and tho production.
of pine straw bagging will, l believe, be
one of our profitable Industries. BY the
way, want to add that there seems to be-
considerable interest in tobacco culture,
and that is as it should be- In some por-
lions of the State there can be grown as
good tobacco as can be grown anywhere.
Especially is this true in Southern
Georgia, where they grow some very fine
tobacco. am glad tine Farmers Alli-
ance is encouraging its production, for it
is good thing. "-Atlanta Constitution.
