The Cry of the Grow.

am sorry the character of the crow is
so irretrievably bad, for there is much
that is interesting about him. In some
respects he is even useful. He acts to
some extent as a scavenger, he eats a few
grubs in the meadows and pastures, and
is said to be in much demand occasionally
for furnishing forth the tables of disap-
pointed disgruntled politicians. His
glossy, blue-black color is fine enough to
give certain beauty to his somewhat IN
calmly form But the chief point of in
terest about him is his voice. which on
certain occasions is wonderfully express
sive and human. If you come suddenly
upon the place where a company of crows
are committing their depredations the one
that has been placed as sentinel will fly
over your head on discovering YOU, cry
ing hal ha! ha! with force of express
sion which Edwin Booth could scarcely
equal. He gives the ''hn' sound with
strong aspiration, and prolongs the vowel
sound to give it its full force. ''Ha hai
hal" he will cry from above the trees
with startling effect, just as if he had
caught you in some villiany and Just as you
might say the same word if you had caught
some one else in villainy, and at first
blush he will almost make you feel as if
youwere yourself the culprit. know of no
bird elocution equal to this. His ordinary
cry is the same syllable repeated more
rapidly in a not unmusical voice, but
without any attempt at forcible elocu-
tionary expression, and he sometimes
varies the ''haw" to "caw, or adding a
syllable makes it "caw-er." His call to
his mate is the syllable couk, couk, couk,
couk, usually four times repeated. But
his faculty of speech seems to be limited
to the vowel sounds aw and gu and the
consonant sounds h, k and r. In this
respect he is by no means equal to some
of his foreign relations. He Is, however,
much smarter bird than his English
cousin, the rock, but unfortunately his
smartness all runs to mischief.-Hargord

Postage Stamp Curiosities.

A certain well-known gentleman in the
city owns valuable collection of postage
stamps which has taken him twelve
years to get together. ''My collection
isn't complete" he said with sigh,
''and it never will be. Why2 Because
it would require 800, 900 to make it so.
There are about six thousand different
descriptions of postage stamps in exist
ence. The muse I'm of the Berlin Post
office alone contains between four and
five thousand specimens, of which half
are from Europe and the remainder di-
vided between Asia, Africa, America and
Australia Some of the stamps bear a
coat of arms and other emblems, impair
tally borrowed from the heavens above,
the earth beneath and the waters under
the earth, stars, eagles, lions, horses,
serpents, railway trains, dolphins, and
other fearful wild fowl There are, more
over, the vignette effigies of five Emper-
ors, eighteen Kings, three Queens, one
Grand Duke and many Presidents. Some
of these stamps cannot be purchased for
$4,000, while others cannot be purchased
for any sum, Cincinnati Commercial,

Ten Decades in Rice.

Apropos of the centennial period,
Messrs. Dan Talmage's Sons presented a
brief resume of the domestic rice crop
during the past century under the title
'Ten Decades in Rice In 1889 it was
mainly grown in the States Of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, but the area gradually
extended until it took in all of the State
of North Carolina and the borders of
Alabama and Florida. During the war
the culture was practically suspended, as
the rice sections were overruu or occupied
by the United States army. At the close
of the war the culture was resumed, at
first in a most limited way, but it rapidly
developed until it reached its old-time
proportions.
No statistics are given Of the Louisiana
crop previous TO 1860, as it did not as
sumo commercial importance until after
the war. Prior to that period it was of
but few thousand barrels per year, and
was known as creole rice. 1t was of red
dish hue and was not appreciated, ex-
cept by the French creoles in that 10
cality. The ratio of increase has been
marvellous, and the fact that the growth
has been sustained from year to year gives
evidence that it has come to stay. The
possibilities of the delta lands at the
mouth of the Mississippi are equal to the
results now obtained from year TO year in
the Indies.

HANNAH SMELL. THE AMAZON.

Hannah Smell iourished in the reign
of George II. Her grandfather was a
soldier who fought with Malplaquet.
She married early, her husband being a
Dutch sailor, who maltreated and de-
serted her, leaving her with baby,
which died, whereupon Hannah appro-
priated suit of her brother-in-law's
clothes, and assuming his name, which
was Thomas Grey, enlisted in General
Curses regiment After q while sho
deserted, but subsequently re-enlisted in
the navy as a marine, in which capacity
she served in the East and West Indies.
From her dexterity in washing and mend
ing for the men, and from her being
beardless, she acquired the nickname Of
'sAIiss Molly" but her bravery in action
eventually caused her to be invested with
the more honorable cognomen of Hearty
Jenny"
Being at last discharged from the SER
vice-during all this time her sex was
undiscovered-Ha Smell went on the
stage, and appeared with much applause
as Bill Bobstay, a sailor, and as Firelock,
a grenadier. In consideration of the
hardships she had undergone in the ser
vice of her country-which hardships
comprised, among other tribulations, 500
lashes that she got at the halberts, and
an almost equally barbarous scOurging at
the gangway on board ship-the Govern
ment awarded Hannah pension of 500
a year, on the strength Of which she took
a public house in London, with the APP
propriate sign of "The Widow in Mas
ouerade; or, the Female Warrior"

Queer Things From Lower California

George BlacLaren, an old Forty miner,
who has prospected for gold all over
California, has Just returned to San ran
cisco from the Santa Clara ustrlct OF
Lower California. MacLaren says he
didn't ret much gold, but as a naturalist
he found enough to interest him down
tEerc He brought back the meanest-
iootirn specimen Of the lizard tribe that
over was seen. 1t is something like a
ella monster, but worse. The natives
call it Il man eater, because it goes after
them open mouthed, but as it is only if
teen inches, probably it doesn't eat peo-
Pile It Is notified in yellow and brown,
has wicked black eyes, and pointed teeth,
and the Indians declare that its bite is
sure death. As MacLaren has not yet
been bitten by the lizard, he doesnt
know whether the Indians are liars or not
To avoid mistakes he handles the reptile
with wooden tongs, and he has to be
careful about it, because the lizard Is
built in sections, is brittle as glass, and
comes apart easily.
The old gentleman is very Proud oil MS
prize, because the maneater is a rare rep
tile. 1t is found in dark, brushy places
just after the first rains, and MacLaren
hunted long time before he found
perfect specimen. He also brought uP

Frank kept on a dozen or fifteen yards
farther, sailing, like frog to water, over
the wagon mules and describing para
bola which met the prairie with thump,
a ricochet and a roll. He got up, shook
himself, reached behind to make sure his
revolver had not been thrown out, and
walked back to his mule as coolly as if
that were his ordinary way of dismount-
ing.
When Birthstone was finally extricated,
the inspiring cause of his jealous run was
fully revealed. Sticking from his hind
quarters was the long shaft and feathers
of an arrow, the head of which was i'm
bedded some three inches in the flesh. /
have to say that the mule got no sym
pathy; on the contrary, his plight was
looked on by all hands with unconcealed
satisfaction. His past conduct had not
endeared him to the ''outit."
The question of getting out the arrow
head was not easily met. For, while there
were plenty of advisers in the matter,
there was no one so little in love with life
as to offer to operate surgically in the Vi
cinity of those ightsome heels. The
operation was heroic one, as the blood
had softened and loosened the deer sinew
that fastened the shaft to the barbed arrow
head so that they came apart at the first
pull, leaving the latter in the wound
However, as it needed to be done, Pete
Ouray and Frank set to work with ex-
IRENE care, their instruments consisting
Of a sharp knife and a pair of pincers.
To the establishment of all, Birthstone re-
manned as quiet as a lamb. A cut was
made, wide and deep enough TO allow the
arrow head to be caught with the pincers
and pulled out The mule WINGED under
the steel but did not kick.
The wound soon healed-there was, in
fact, no loss of Brimstones valuable SER
vices. He was rather sensitive to APP
preach for time, but remarkable effect
of the wound appeared in his Dispositions
Strange to say, this effect was a favorable
one. From that date on he was differ

wondered at three inches of arrow in his
haunch should have wrought painfully on
his feelings, and for time reversed his
usual habit of thought; but the crafty

FASHION NOTES.
Straw hats are just now on top.

Straw hats are just now on top.
Old-fashioned barege is again stylish.
It is rumored that we are coming back
to powdered hair.
Frieze has now all textures, all colors
all garments for its own.
Riding habits should now be made of
light gray to be in perfect style.
Black may now be worn with any
color and every tint or shade, from the
palest to the deepest.
The gowns exhibit every imaginable
form of sleeve. Some of the designs are
too peculiar to be pretty.
Ladies have forgotten all about the
word aesthetic since the names DirectoiTe
and Empire have come into use.
Train dresses are turned down half
yard at the top in the back to give u
slight fullness just below the waist
Very broad ruf1es of lace turn over
from the necks Of evening dresses and
form the trimming and even the sleeves.
Many new shades of green have been
brought out as rivals to the still fashion
able Empire green of brightest emerald
hue.
The new high-necked bodice, which
has made its appearance at Queen Victo-
ria's drawingroom, is called ''The Nurem-
burg"
The Directoire ''coat'' of the passing
season is a NODDED repetition of the coat
worn by Charles Surface, in the ''School
for Scandal"
Next in favor to green come shades of
red-brown, dull brick, terra Gotta and
Egyptian red, which are seen in both dark
and light shades.
Two or three rows of Irish lace inser-
ton let into the petticoats of wash
dresses serve as the only trimming except
that on the yoke and sleeve.

The "Cash " Railroads.

There is big fortune in those cash
railroads we see in all the ladies' shopping
stores. One company has gobbled up
all the best devices of the sort, and is
reaping great harvest, because no enter
prising storekeeper pretends to get along
without them. The owners will not sell
the apparatus. They put it in a store
under lease at S1S year for a station,
a station being each one Of those stopping
places over the clerks head whence the
baskets are sent to the cash desk. Some
New York stores have as many as $50
stations, and consequently pay $4,000 or
more a year for the use Of the device

COOPERATIVE MAIDS.

The New York plan, becoming COM
mon among society woman, of having
cooperative maids, is one not only de-
serving of commentator, but worthy of
introduction and adoption here. It
mean simply this: That all ladies who
find it too expensive to employ domestic
devoted to their exclusive personal ser
vice shall unite in groups of six in
securing the time of a competent efficient
attendant. This woman, who must be
thoroughly trained in every detail of
toilet necessities, gives one day in each
week to her patrons in turn. For in
stance: Every Monday she goes bright
and early to Mrs. A, and begins her du-
ties by overlooking the lady's entire
wardrobe. Gowns are brushed, loops re-
tackled, fresh ruching basted in the neck
and sleeves of those needing that atten-
ton, every particle of dust and stain re-
moved and the costumes replaced where
they may be found at an instant's notice.
Glove boxes, stocking drawers and shoe
bags are carefully reviewed in like man
ner, armoirS and bureau receptacles sys-
tematically rearanged, and then comes
the thorough cleansing of brushes, combs,
etc, followed by the clipping of my
lady's locks, shampooing her head and
dressing her hair for the day. Nails are
manicured and fine grooming given the
mistress, by which time the busy society
devotee feels as if she had been made
over anew. With n moderately careful
woman this righting up once a week
keeps her in pretty fair condition till
Monday comes around again. All this
wonderful comfort and convenience can
be obtained for a couple of dollars a
week. With six customers the maid has
done a thriving business, and every one
concerned is made happy by the co-opera-
tive arrangement.-Ne1o Orleans Times
