Two Smart Crows.

Large numbers of crows came to
Chambersburg yesterday and hunted
in yards and at kitchen doors for the
food which the exceedingly cold wealth
er and the snow deprived them of in
the country. A flock of them alighted
on several apple trees in yard on
North Third street and fed vOraciously
on half dozen apples which had been
hanging on the trees since last fall.
They enjoyed the meal, it seemed. One
apple, however, hung beyond the reach
of the birds as they chung to branch
of the tree. 1t was at the end of Il lit
tie twig and was eXasperatinly close
and yet very far away.
Finally two of the crows Joined
forces. Both stood on the branch from
which the twig depended. One stretch
ed out his neck, caught the twig in his
beak and swung it until the other fell
low could grab it on top of the branch.
Then they both had rich meal. The
crows visited this particular yard sew
eral times during the day.-Chambers-

The Divers Light.

The denizenS of the deep dwell either
in twilight or darkness, according to
the distance beneath the surface AT
which they are accustomed to live, and
to them a light is an object of intense
curiosity. says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat Before the days of the cleo
trio light spearing fish by the light OF
a torch was Il fayirite amusement on
many rivers, and is even now prac-
ticed, rather for fun than for profit,
on the Columbia and elsewhere. Since
the magical bulb with its feathery car
bOns enabled man to light up the bot
tom of the sea as brightly as the land
much amusement has been obtained by
scientific men and divers in watching
the antics of various fish when the
light was lowered close to the bottom
of the water. Owing to the density of
the medium, the light is in more than
Egyptian darkness. AS the diver moves
to and fro about his business, with his
electric light in his hand, there Will
suddenly flash out of the blackness half
a dozen brght-cOlOrcd fishes, pause an
instant in apparent aStoiShment at the
spectacle of the man in his helmet AMI
diving dress, then scurry away in all
directions as though panic-stricken.
Then large, Open-eyed. Open-mOuth-
ed monster will poke his head in the
charmed circle of light while The re-
mainder of his b:dy is shrouded in
gloom, and look sOlemnly on as if
striving to fathom the mystery. Some
times, if the man remains perfectly
quiet, the fish will imp2rceptibly draw
nearer, until almost within reach;
sometimes, after careful inspection
from a safe distance. he will slowly
back away and disappear. The light
thrust in his face always seems to
cause the utmost establishment and
dismay. He cannot yell with fright,
because yelling is entirely out of his
line, but he will come very near it by
opening his mouth and emitting Il vol
ume of water from it as he flies in ter
ror from so unusual and horrible Il
spectacle. When the light is let down
to the bottom at the end of wire, the
the fish play about it with the utmost
curiosity. A few months ago the light
by which the government party was
inspecting the bottom of the sea of
Cape HatteraS was swallowed by a
maekerel who was drawn to the sur
face with his interior brilliantly illu-
minated by the still burning lamp.

bird took wing dartcd into the nest
and Selling one of the little birds in
her beak, carried it off to neighborins
field. The father flew down to the
little one, and mounted guard while
the mother returned for the other.
When she arrived the flames were
enveloping the nest, and the young
stork fell through the charred wood
into the burning barn below. Nothing
daunted. the mother dashed through
smoke and fire. and returned bearing
her second little stork in her beak,
and then she flew away.
The next day some people in an adj
iacent village discovered wounded
stork. She was unable to stand, and
on examining her both legs were
found to be badly burned. This was
the brave Stork which had rescued
her children. The bird was removed
to the Rathans. and the Burgomaster
provided bed for it, and called in
the physician, who attended the
wounds. In the mean time the male
stork ascertained her place of refuge
and paid her daily visits to inquire
for her condition, and to bring re-
ports after his own fashion of the
young. The school children brought
her food, the physician treated her
every day. until she recovered. Final
ly. one bright morning. she flew away
with her devoted husband.

A Musical Genius.

During the reign of Louis Nj. of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Baigne, man Of con-
siderable wit. The Abbot was some
what unsteady inclined, and delighted
the court with inventions of odd must
cal instruments. One day the king,
after having enjoyed a hearty laugh
over one of these curious cOntrivanceS,
and desiring to battle this musical gen.
JUS commanded him to produce har-
moniOuS sounds from the cries of hogs.
This seemed an 'impOSSibility to the
king, and he prepared himself to enjoy
the discontinue of the Abbot. Much
to his surprise, however, the Abbot
readily agreed to produce them. All
he required was a UNI of money, upon
the receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
that was ever heard.
He secured the country and secured
a large quantity of hogs. trying their
coices as to pitch and quality and fl
nally having fully satisfied himself.
he arranged the animals in sort of
pavilion richly decorated. The day
of the trial arrived, and the king and
his court entered the pavilion prepared
for something but greatly in doubt
as to the success of the Abbot with
the hogs. However, there were the
hogs, sure enough, and much to the
surprise and delight of the king they
commenced to cry tremendously and
in good tune, rendering an air that
was fairly recognized.
The Abbot had arranged a series of
stops that were connected with the
hogs, and upon pulling them out caus-
ed a spike to prick the hog it connect
ed with, making him squeel his note.
The rest was easy, for pulling out the
different stops he produced the tune.
The king and all his attendants were
highly delighted with it.

SERVED In TWO WARS.
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE
THE BULLET FAILED.
Our sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infirmities of the Veteran.

From Woodstock, Va, Herald
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr.
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both these wars without a serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
firmities of veteran without feeling
OF the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too,
and as he attempted it, he often
stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years
and gave up finally in despair One
day, however, he was struck by the
account of a cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. williams Pink
Pills. He Immediately ordered a box
and commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found it's way
to his fingers and his hands which had
been palsied assumed a natural color
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an ex-
corn and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift fifty-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done for
others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great
relief. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills were used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms of
weakness arising from watery blood or
shattered nerves, two causes of al
most every i'll to which flesh is heir.
The pills are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppressions, all forms of weakness
chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc, and in the case of men will
give speedy relief and effect a perma-
nent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excuses Of
whatever nature. They are entirely
harmless and can be given to weak and
sickly children with the greatest good.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of
price, $50 certs a box, or six boxes for
$2.50-by addressing DR.. Williams

them a congenial name with a Congen-

they studied the habits of animals,
drew pictures of them, and had the
best stories of travel and adventure
either told or read to them, or, if
they preferred, they read the books
containing the tales themselves. An
older class of boys, almost men, was
organized to study science and took
great pleasure in performing the sim
pie experiments in chemistry described
in their elementary textbooks. An
other way of interesting a class of boys
who might otherwise have been on the
street at night, has been through drill
corps or through business clubs, where
they We're instructed in the proper
way to call. organize and conduct bust
ness meetings. Still other clubs in
which young boys have taken pride
