LIVING SCARECROWS.
Children Ctilized to Keep the Crows from
 Pulling Up the Corn.

Children Ctilized to Keep the Crows from
 Pulling Up the Corn.
 A wrecking gang on the Delaware division of the Erie railway were clear ing up wreck at Nobodys Block, not far from Cochecton, last week, says a Port Jervis correspondent of the New York Sun, when their attention was called to curious, shrill, cooing sound which came at short and regular in- tervalS from cOrnfeld across the Del aware river in Wayne county, Pennsyl- vania. They made an investigation and found that the sound emanated from the children of a German farmer who had been stationed around his cornfield to scare away the crows from pulling up the young and tender shoots of corn. The farmer had been unusu- ally well blessed with progeny, his wife having borne him no less than twelve children. including four pairs of twins. He had been yearly bothered with crows in complaining time, and he had adapted all the scarecrow de- vices in common usage among farmers, such Gs placing stuffed straw men in the fields, stringing twine over poles with bits of white rags fiuttering in the wind, etc, but the crows had be- come used to these things, and, crow like, would post their sentinels on lofty treetops to give warning of danger while their compa nions were at work uncovering the hills. A happy thought struck the farmer by which he could protect his corn and utilize his several offspring. Arming two of them with old tin pans each day, he placed them in the field at four o'clock in the morn ing and told them to call out Goo! coor' and pound their pans whenever they saw any crows flying near. When the children became tired the father replaced them with two others, and thus by successive relays the crows were kept away. This process was re- peated each day until the corn was of size sufficient to protect itself. It was this strange noise, kept up all day long, from early morn till eve, that made the Erie wreckers marvel. It is said that this is the second year in which the Wayne county farmer has protected his corntields with living ScarecrOIvS

Chinese StoicaIly Viewed the Awful Wreck
 Recently in Washington.

Recently in Washington.
 The stolid, impasSive nature of the heathen Chinaman was never better illustrated than during the Ford's theatcr disaster in Washington. Three pig-tailed ezotics from the fowery kingdom conduct ''washee" empo- rum just the second door below the historic old shell, where they are wont to pursue the even tenor of their vOca- tion, which promotes the next neighbor to godliness. Something more than an earthquake shock would probably be required to shake any exhibition of in- terest from these Chinamen. Although the crash of the falling floors of the old thcater was not far from their ears and their own roof might have come tumbling over their heads next these Celestials, according to the Post, did not manifest the slightest surprise. They simply stepped to their basement door to see that the street was still tkere and returned to their flatirons. Through the rest of the day, while thousands of excited people were clamoring outside, fire bells were changing, ambulances rushing by and dead and wounded men being carried past in plain view of their windows, those laundrymen bent over their clothes and gave no sign that they re- alized the progress of anything unu- sual. For all the symptoms of intelli- gence displayed by them they might as well have been mummies of the Pha- raohs drying up in their own skins. It might have been the disregard of hu- man life which is said to be character istic of the oriental, or it might have been Johns faculty for minding his own business, but anyway it was a queer exhibition.

Just RetributiOn.

''Did you hear about Andy?" asked one reminiscent westerner of another. No? We'll, Andy made a strike of siXty-fve thousand dollars at Cripple Creek. As soon as he got the money in his hands he went down to Denver and blew it in. Rum, cards and fun. You know how it is. The morning that he woke up sober and found all his money gone he set out to punish himself by walking to Cripple Creek He wouldn't borrow a cent. A fellow who was teaming for me overlook him and offered him a lift. but he wouldn't get in, and he plugged along, muttering to himself: Walk, curse yer, walk. Blow in your dust, will yer? Then walk, you fool. It'll do you good. No. you needn't stop at no spring. Ain't you drank enough? Go dry, you son of a gun. Light out and walk, you durned jacl1ass.' And he did

Imprisoned in a Trunk.

An employe of the Western of France Railway company lately hit upon a highly original plan for preventing his wife from gadding about in a way of which he disapproves. Before going to his daily duty, NJ. Lehuby, for such is his name, has been in the habit of locking his wife up in large trunk. By an ingenious contrivance the lid was made so that it could be raised a few inches for the admission of air. The most remarkable thing, perhaps, in remarkable case is the fact that the wife, who acknowledged that her husband had the strongest grounds for being dissatisfied with her conduct, seems to have been a conSenting party to her enforced secluSion. Neverthe- less. the facts becoming known, pro- ceedings were instituted by the police authorities and the correctional trib' unal of Louviers condemned NJ. Lehuby to pay fine of fifty francs

VANISHED KANSAS TOWNS.
Forests Growing m Triumph Where Busy
 Communities Were.

Communities Were.
 It is a coincidence in Kansas history that two of her citizens who afterward became United States senators-Sena- tor John Martin and ex-Senator John J. Ingalls-Originally settled when they entered the territory at towns which afterwards fell into decay and have since been obliterated from the map. John Martin cast his lot with Tecumseh in Shawnee county, a settle ment of much promise, the child of the pro-slavery party. It enjoyed the seat of the county government, the federal court and the government land office and was crowded with people, mostly democrats. When the pro-slavery cause failed and the free state people got in control Of affairs the town began to go down: the men went into the con- fedcrate army, the women and children went south and the houses were moved to Topei-a, as were also the county seat, the federal court and the land office. The Santa Fe railroad stops it's local trains there, but does not main tain station agent, and the only hab- itation on the old town site is a house labeled Cash Grocery"
 The fate of Sumner, in Atchison county, where John J. Ingalls, began his career in Kansas, says the Chicago Tribune, was even more striking than that of Tecumseh. Tecumseh was a town of wood, while Sumner was a city of brick and mortar, graded streets, business blocks, schools, churches and other evidences of New England thrift and culture. It once had population of three thousand in- habitants and was fair rival of all the other river towns, until it's hopes were destroyed by Q county seat cleo tion; which gave the prize to Atchison, its pro-slavery rival. Legend says that Atchison won by fraud, but, be that as it may, the people accepted the situa- tion and promptly began to pull up stakes and move to the victorious town, and to-day not a house marks the spot. The town site embraced several hun dred acres, but it is now wholly cov- cred by a heavy growth of young tim Der, blue grass has covered the sears made by the city engineer and street commissioner, and railroad trains rush by without whiStling.

THE czAR's PEcuLIARlrIEs.
A Ruler of Simple Habits Who Hates All
 


 The correspondent of the London Times in Paris says that the French will be greatly disappointed if they think that general or an admiral, as an ambassador in St. Petersburg, will be more successful in getting the ear of the czar than plain citizen. The fact is, he says, that the czar never gives an audience. He then continues: ''This man, who disposes of one of the vastest empires in the world, before whom everything falls down, whom no one resists, for whom it is enough that he should raise little finger to set in movement millions and millions of men, is neither soldier nor a sailor nor a diplomat. I might add that he is almost what Is known here as bour- geois. He has horror of fetes, he de- tests ceremonies, he loves neither mili- tary nor naval reviews. He adores his family and is contented only with them. He is not one of those Russians who are half savage, half Machiavel, he is rather a simple mujik, lover of truth and a speaker of it. When he returns to St. Petersburg he bids the diplomatic corps not to come to meet him. When he presides per force at review, he leaves the field as soon as possible and is pleased to get down from his horse, for he does not like it. At Copenhagen his greatest pleasure consisted in going out in short coat and a soft hat, mingling with the pedestrians who pretended not to recognize him, and in taking cab. Indeed, he once amused himself in very odd fashion, he and all his family taking tramcar to go into the country. In politics as in everything else the czar's ideas are simple. He is not communicative because he does not know how to develop his thoughts. He has never spoken for five consecu- tive minutes in his life. When he is in Denmark or in the Crimea, as his gov ernment accompanies him, he devotes half an hour a day to signing papers, and that constitutes the only busi- ness. The military attaches see him at the reviews. but there is no possible chance of conversation with him. An ambassador may see him when ball is given in his honor, but he can have no conversation with him; or he may see him at ball at another ambassa- dor's or at some small court reception, but these occasions are rare."
