4 GOOD CROW STORY.
II Pennsylvanta Bird That Was Possessed

OF " onderful Intelligence.
.sWhen I was living at the foot of
Pinxster peak / had tame crow that
was worth considerable to me- said >
Loyalsock man to Pittsburgh Com
mercial Gazette reporter. The way
came to get the crow was little singu-
lar One of my boys was flying his
kite early in the summer, and when it
had sailed high up over piece of woods
on my place the string broke and the
kite lodged in the top of a hemlock
tree. The boy bawled about the loss
of his kite, and had to climb the tree
and get it for him. A crow few off her
nest near the top of the tree while
was climbing, and when reached the
nest found one egg in it. After l had
loosened the kite and let it drop
placed the crows egg in my mouth and
kept it there until had backed down
the tree, and then ran to the barn
and put the egg under a hen that had
been sitting a day or SO. The old hen
offered no objections, and several days
before she came off with her chickens
she Matched out the iveliest little crow
/ ever saw. We began to raise the baby
crow in the house; when he was big
enough to run around on the floor l
named him Kite. He learned to say a
good many words by the time he was q
year old, and one morning that sum-
mer heard him yelling down the un-
used chimney at a lot of swallows that
were nesting in it. The swallows were
making great racket, and Kite was
singing out: Hold your tongue! as loud
as he could yell.
''Kite could tell the time of day by the
clock, and when the weather was cloudy
the field to see what time it was. In
stead of asking my wife the crow would
look at the clock without saying a word
to her and then sail back to the lot and
sing it out to me. When the sky was
clear could tell by the sun within ten
minutes what time it was, and the crow
got so that he could guess almost as
close as / could. One sunshiny after
noon told Kite to fly to the house and
bring me the time. The crow cooked
his head to one side, glanced up at the
sun, and said: It's five minutes to two,
Johnv I told him it was later than that,
and he few to the house and back and
said: TITS two minutes to two!" and he
was right.
"The crow got feeble the winter after
he was five years old. He couldn't
stand the cold, and kept him in a box
half full of shavings behind the stove.
He lost his appetite soon after New
Years, and one night when I had got
ready to go to bed he called me to him
and said: John, Kite'll be dead in
the morning ! fused over him and
told him he was good for another year,
but couldn't make him believe it. My
bed was near the stove, and in the
night he crawled out of his box and
asked me to take him in bed with me-
Kites almost gomez he whispered, and
when / awoke he lay dead on my
breast

Gait is an important part of physical
expression. By his gait "a mar tells Us
whether he Is fresh or tired, strong or
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait Of the sailor. and different
from both OF these is the slow. jolting
gait of the country laborer. winch. how
ever, is partly accounted for by his clum-
sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities
of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps. wheth
er long or short. suggest a gentle or reflect
i've state of mind as the case may be
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak Of agitation and energy.
Reflection is revealed in frequent
pauses, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction Of til"
steps wavering and following every
changing impulse of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision. 1t might be asking too curious
. knowledge to distinguish by their re-
spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and the philanthropist, but the proud
man is almost always known by his step.

Extractin. Virtue From Refuse.

The great decrease in the price of
paper comes from the discovery that
nearly everything that grows can be
turned into this useful article. Cotton
stalks, tobacco stalks. the stalks of the
sGgai ane corn husks and sawdust that
used to cumber the ground are now
made into cigarette wrappers. water
pals, car wheels and even buildings for
temporary purposes. The nee despised
sawdust can he used in still other ways.
From it can be extracted alcohol, acids
and dyes. The extraction of dyes from
coal tar and the refuse of refined petro
leum has for a dozen years been one OF
the wonders Of the chemists art, but
they are not the only things that are OBJ
tanned from coal, and science is con-
stantly widening the list. The Stag of
furnaces is now turned into asbestos,
cement, pottery and friedrich, and when
pulverized becomes a base for paints.
The refuse from wooden mills. which
has contaminated SO many streams. has
been found to be valuable for the oil it
contains, and its extraction will not only
profit the inventor, but do away with a

A woman who has made a study Of the

she is usually a dainty and fla. t;lious bit
Of femininity. who loses hot one iota of
her womanly charm when she Fuckers

no permanent home with her.
Contrary to the general opinion, she is

conductor it is only when she is hurry

if she for Il moment forgets that utility

And at last. when she triumphantly en-

bill will a half of this, his shirts and

$500 to outfit him for yachting. tennis
and polo. Then add to this his bill fol
horses, his club bill, his florists bill, his
restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the
nalneless sundries which constitute one
half of the outlay of a young man abou,
town, and it will be seen that a man may
have $4,000 a year and yet be familiar
with the face Of dnns.
