A Grow That kent Bar.

Out in Monroe County, Miss. the
crows have lately made themselves
obnoxious by their persistent invasion
of the corn fields. A man who had
been hired to watch particularly
promising field and inform these birds
that it was against the rule to pick up
any thing therein, bethought himself
how he could make ''soft thing OF
It for himself and at the same time
meet the requirements of his contract.
Finally, by beautiful instinct, he hit
upon the plan of soaking some corn in
whisky and placing it in the field, so
that the crows would eat it and get
drunk, and thus enable him to have a
sure and easy thing OF killing them.
He had tried the shotgun, but crows
smell powder long way. After soak
ing some corn over night he put good
supply in the field next morning, and
in two or three hours went out to see
how things went on. One OF the crows
a little larger than the rest had taken
possession of nearly all the corn. and
built himself bar out OF some clods
of earth, and was retailing the whisky
soaked corn to the other crows, charg-
ing them three grains OF sprouted for
one soaked grain. The man thought
the whole proceeding SO human that
he killed not crow, but came back to
the house and d-took nip himself

AMERICAN MUM MES.
An Interesting Discovery Made In til
Sierra Madre Mountains.

An Interesting Discovery Made In the
sierra Madre Mountains.
A Mexican archpologist, Senior Mar
ghiere, has recently made an interest
ing discovery of naturally mummitied
human bodies in cavern in the Sierra
Madre Mountains. The cavern is of
natural origin, and lies at the height of
about 1000 feet above the sea. The
mouth Of the opening had been artiti-
cially closed with sun-dried bricks and
stones, so contrived as not only to close
but to conceal the entrance. In the
cave the dessicated remains of four
human bodies were found, apparently
all members of one family, the father,
mother, a boy aud IL girl. The bodies
were in the position so commonly
given to the dead by American Indians;
they were in sitting posture. the
hands crossed over the breast, and the
head inclined forward toward the
knees. They all were placed with their
faces toward the East. and were
shrouded in burial garments.
In articles concerning these remains
the writer assumes that the preserva-
tion of the bodies was due to the pecu-
liarly high aud dry atmosphere OF this
southern cline and elevated level. In
this conclusion he is mistaken, for the
reason that, in at least one case OF q
human body, discovered about fifteen
years ago in cavern near the Natural
Cave in Kentucky, similar natural
tdesiccation had taken place. The re-
mains were those of child twelve or
fourteen years of age. The unfortu-
nate creature had evidently been lost
in the cavern, and had wandered until
starvation brought about death. The
position OF the body was that OF per-
feet repose, showing that the sleep OF
exhaustion had passed into the rest OF
death. In this case, as in that OF the
remains found by Senior Marghiere.

there being no trace of decay in any

the emaciated look given by the pro-

thus seems probable that the Egyptians
took an Unnecessary amount of pains

condition. In their dry climate the
same end could have been attained by
much simpler processes. As far as the

mummies of Mexico or Kentucky arc
bodies as well preserved as any o
those from Egyptian burial places. =

FIGS AS FOOD.
The Most Nutritious OF All Fruits Excep
the Olive.

The Most Nutritious OF All Fruits Except
the Olive.
One of the Persian kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason,
to remind him that the land whore
they grew was not yet his, and that. in.
stead of receiving the fruit as a tribute,
he was obliged to buy it from abroad:
and, for another that it was not only
the emblem Of health, but the most
wholesome fruit grown. The fig is
now pretty well known to be, especially
at certain seasons, almost the common
food of the Italian people; and for
months they may be said to live en-
tirely upon it. As DIR. Nichols says,
it is not only possible for man to live
upon figs. but sitting under his own
vine and fig tree, "a man has plenty of
food and no landlord. When eaten
fresh the fig is Il medicine as well as
food; and they who eat freely need NO
potions and no aperients. Full OF nu-
triton and all those properties that
make it valuable as an article OF diet.
We are confident that the fig will take
"a prominent position in the estimation
of all who work for and believe in food
reform. For myself, l would simply
add that again and again, without
liquid of any kind, the luscious green
fig. eaten with whole-meal bread, has
formed a dish at once simple but rich.
and like the Spaniard's $ salad, fit for a
king The fig is not only very popular.
but it is the most ancient fruit we cul-
tivate. In many countries the failure
OF this crop also means starvation and
famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and
southern Europe provide themselves
with figs and olives as provisions for
long journeys. and not only live, but
grow fat on the diet. The fig has more
medicinal properties AMI more nutri-
ment than any other fruit with the ex-
ception Of the olive. Inter ,or.
