4 Grow whipped by Two Wreas.

A hen belon, ,ing - Farmer i. II
Hanor of Smithdeld township, Penn,
got In the notion while ago Of laying
in some weeds near the barn. There
were no eggs in her stolen nes. when
Mr. Hanor found it. and Tor week it
was mystery where the fruits Of be,
labors went to. Oae morning Mr. Han
or heard Biddy cackliny, and he hastenel
toward her nest As he was poin.
through the gate crow digei into the
weed bed from pine tree near by,
seized an egg. and sailed of TO the
woods with IT, the crows boliness
pleased Mr. Hanoi. and the mex. dav he
stayed around to see II the cunning black
bird would come after another egg
When it got to be near Bildy's regular
laying hour that morning, crow
allghted In the pine tree and began to
peer down into the mass of'weels. For
twenty minutes it sat on lis perch ia 81
lence, picked its plunaye, an kept one
eye on the nest The hen sooa cs,cklel.
aud Immediately the crow settled down
into the weeds, stayed there second.
and then arose and winged It's way to
the woodland with Bidly's egg in its
BILL
On the following morning the crow
was on the pine tree again. 1t divel
toward the nest as soon as tue hon had
begun to cackle, aud this time its move
ments were observed by pair Of wrens
that had nest in a box close bg. The
presence Of the crow angere1 the little
birds, aud they both pitched at it, just
a. it arose from the weeds with the
fresh laid egg The wrens darted at the
| crows head, aud the crow dropped the
egg before it had reached the height of
| the barn, gave squaH or two and made
| for the woods. The spunky little birds
chased the crow to the edge Of the for
est, where they gave up the attack, and
sailed homewarl, singing a song of tri-
| umph all the way. Since then the black
| egg thief has not been seen 0a the pine
tree, and Mr. IIanor has found an cyy in

NOT WORTH A PlcAYuNe.

In speaking oil the work OF the Com.
mon Council at the last meeting and
the milk ordnance in particular, AL
dernan Stem said: Il don't believe
the ordinance is worth a picayune for
the reason that It obliges the farmers
who sell milk TO pay license before
they can Osfer their produce for sale
In the city. The ordinance Is all right
enough without the license fee. l am
opposed to SO many boards In our city
government, ior l bd.eeve them to be
oI very l1ttle use and we all know
they are very expensive luxuries. Take
the Board OF Health for instance.
Here we have had SIX Inspectors going
about the city all summer at an ex-
pense OF $50 VI week ard besides these
we have nigh salaried health officer
and a secretary at q fair salary. r.
prefer the old system and would favor
the employment o. three health officers
at a salary OF $1,000 a year each.
Let the health officers get out and
hustle. and do the Inspecting them
selves. This inspection OF milk will
cause an additional expense. I think
che salary OF $500 is amply sufficient
For the inspection required OF them
does not demand any great degree
OF skill for the chemical analysis. II
any ~ required. is 70 be performed
in the Office. This health department

Georgia Boy Cured OF Typho- Maiariai
Fever With an Metropolis.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 20.-A case oil
typhe-malarial fever has been broken
up by the electropObse. This is mere
by a small silver cylinder with rounded
ends, called a polarizer, having an in
sulated wire attached and u rubber
Dind at the end to bind it to the
ankle with. Eight days ago Sydney
Jones, son OF Colonel Tom Jones, was
taken with the typho-malaria. His
temperature ran to 1922 degrees.
On the sixth day his condition was
decidedly worse, when the father dis
missed the doctor and decided to put
his faith in the electropoise. On the
seventh day the application was
made. In two days the fever and all
attendant symptoms were effectually
removed. The working OF the electro
pose IS simple with one end attached
to the patient the polarizer is inn
