Birds and Telegraph Wires.

1t has been supposed that birds be-
come accustomed to the presence of
telegraph wires, and are careful to
avoid them in flying, but it would
seem either that this is a mistake, or
that the birds on the Scotch and En-
glish moors are less intelligent than
their fellows. Systematic observa-
ton there along a line of telegraph
wires has shown that great destruc-
ton of bird lite goes on throughout
the year, and that atcertain seasons
the roadside is literally strewn with
the remains of unfortunate grouse,
black game partridge, snipe and 9th
er birds. Every morning at dawn
marauding bands OF rocks come from
the lowland woods to feast on the
dead and dying, and the farmers and
shepherds in the region declare that
more grouse are killed annually by
the telegraph wires than by all the

CUSHMAN X. DAVIS.


Umtteu SbAb0s SENATOR IEOm 1immewUU3s
Cushman X. Davis, who for two
years has represented the State of
Minnesota in the United States Sen
ate ia O man of distinguished attain
ments, eloquent, agood lawyer and a
statesman ofconsiderable experience.
His scholarship comprehends an ex-
traordinary knowledge Of the works
of Shakspere.
His character is that ofan upright
and scrupulously honorable man,
against whom nothing can be said.
Senator Davis was born in jefferson
County, New York, about forty-nine
years ago. He attended Carroll
College, Waukesha, Wis, an insti-
tuition which no longer exists, the
experiment tried there not being
found promotive of longevity in

Traits Of the CheYennes.

In their present location the Chey-
ennes are doing nothing for them
selves. They can't farm the land
they'vegot without irrigation. They
are smart enough to know that If
they work and raise crops their ra-
tions will be cut down. So they re-
main utterly dependent. Their quick
witted children go the school at the
agency and learn to read and write
within a year. That is all the good
it does them. Imitation is one of
the strong characteristics of the
Cheyenne. But it will not prompt
him to work for a living as long as
he doesn't have to. An Admirable
Cheyenne trait is affection for chill
dren. The greatest drawback the
teachers of the Indian school encoun-
ter results from this trait. Indian
mothers will hang about the school
house and coax their little ones away
because they cannot bear the separa-
ton. If the Cheyenes were put upon
agricultural land among or beside
white farmers; if they were given
tools and stock; if their rations were
gradually but steadily reduced, they
would become self-supporting. In
telligence and the initiative faculty
would cooperate with necessity and
the result of selfsupport would be
obtained. But that kind of an In
dian policy Is a long way in the flu
ture, seemingly. Indian contracts,
Indian philanthrophy of the mistak-
en- character, Indian bureau patron
age, and Indian Incidence will all
help to postpone the solution

The figures opposite the Roma

The figures opposite the Roman
catholic name indicate relatively the
catholic population of the country,
as the children of Romish parents
are included in the number of mem-
bers, while with the others only COM
municants are included. But the sig
nificance of this statement is that it
shows that just about one-half OF the
entire population OF the United States
above the age of IL years are mem
bers of some one of these seven
churches. 1t is estimated that the
population under Is years of age is
$4,000, 1000, and this list provides
for 16, 900, 900 of them. The mem
bership of these churches has in
creased SS7, 900 during the last year,
while the number of churches has in
creased 1852 during that time. This
shows that, whatever the timid may
think the churches in the United
States are not falling into decay in
point of numbers at least.-Chicago

The Modern Waste of Health.

Our elaborate code of bylaws for
the suppressionofholiday recreations
can still be circumvented by the re-
sources of opulence, and the we'll
known hopelessness of any other ex-
pedient has stimulated a race for
wealth which does not hesitate to
attain it's object at any risk of social
or sanitary consequences. The num-
Der of infants which the superstition
of the Ammonites sacrificed to Mo-
loch is a mere trife compared with
the multitude of children now de-
voted to a far more cruel fate by be-
ing literally drudged to death in
crowded factories to enable mil
lionaire to save few dimes on his
weekly payroll and add a few per
cent to the exorbitant rate of his
yearly profits. In times of general
scarcity the market has been drained
of it's scant supplies by spectators
trying to gain coin from the distress
of their fellow-men and rising, after
all, to be foiled by the decay of their
boarded stores or their destruction
by fire or food. Quack nostrums
which not one intelligent man in a
hundred would privately hesitate to
pronounce infinitely worse than
worthless are sold by shiploads and
carloads to disseminate disease and
the seeds of the stimulant-vice, and
the saints who contribute thousands

Office and afterward at the Univer-
Bity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where
he received his diploma in 1857. He
has been successful as a lawyer,
and possesses considerable wealth.
Mr.. Davis was a friend of the late
Matt Carpenter. When he was
clerk in the Library of
the Supreme Court, at Madison, Wis,
he used to let Mr.. Carpenter, who
was then practicing at BeIoit,
read up his cases in the
Library nights and Sundays, when
only the favored had access to it's
shelves. 1t is stated that Mr.. Davis
resembles his illustrious friend in
mental characteristics, but is q
scholar of a wider range of reading
and finish. In 1868 he was appointed
United States District Attorney. His
residence was then in the State ct
Minnesota, citizens of which nomin-
ated him for Governor in 1878. He
was elected by Republican votes, and
improved his ''record" by an excel
lent administration.

is said to be the most beautiful
