A TAME CROWS BOOTY.
He Would Steal Anything That Was Bright
and Shining.

and Shining.
He boldly pillaged the neighbors
round. A woman who lived near once
caught him pecking at pot cheese she
had made, and put him to fight. He
returned, and stole a downy little
chicken, one of a brood that belonged
to her. He few home with it, and laid
it upon the ground, but alive and I'M
harmed. There were plenty of young
chickens running about at home, but
Jim never touched one of these.
Anything bright and shining pleased
his fancy very much. He had no
scruples about taking what did not be-
long to him. Like miser, he had
hiding place for his treasures, and he
was very careful not to go to it when
he was watched. One day it was dis
covered in the barn quite by accident
Among other articles that he had Sc
creted were found nails, screws, beads,
bits of broken glass, and, best of all, a
pair of earrings-and this strange col
lection was the grand result of months
of patient thievery!
1t was very difficult to keep a lead
pencil in his vicinity. When he stole
one, he would hold it in his claw, and
peck at it until the cedar wood was
split in twain, after which he would
remove the lead. If some one endeav-
ored to take the pencil from him, he
would dodge about, making desperate
but Intellectual efforts. to swallow his
booty whole.-Malcolm Frazer, il st.

HEAR THE PRICE CORRECTLY

Ono Lady Who Thought . Man Said
Seven Dollars Instead OF Seventy.
People who select wedding presents
sho uld keep their ears open when they
ask the price of an article that pleases
them, for serious blunders occur, which
cannot be afterward restified in SO deli
cate a matter as the wedding gift. A
lady, desiring to send trifle to young
acquaintance on her marriage, says the
Boston Herald, selected a piece OF sill
yer which she considered not too osten-
tatious but just right for the obliga-
ton she desired to cancel, asked the
shopman how much it was, and on be-
ing told seven dollars at once inclosed
her card with it and thought no more
on the subject. But q month later a
bill for it was received, when, to this
purchasers horror, the amount was
found to be not seven dollars. but
seventy. OF course it was paid. Yet
it win be long time before the rankle
of that mistake can be taken out OF
her mind or bank account. For who
could ever be reconciled to giving q
present costing ten times more than 1t
should, no matter how we'll able one is
to afford It? And then everybody knows
the delicate scale On which the cost Of
the wedding presents always weighed

heavier kid gloves of yellowish-tan in
preference to the red or cedar browns
worn during the winter. Undressed

cause they are cooler than those of the
thicker dressed kid. These come in
mousquetaire styles of great length to

ty-Fivc Years.
In all the schools of the United
States, public and private, elementary,
secondary, and higher. there were en-
rolled in the year 1894 about fifteen
and one-half millions of pupils. This
number include all who attended at
any time in the year for any period,
however short. But the actual aver
age attendance for each pupil did not
exceed ninety days, although the
average length of the school session
was one hundred and thirty-seven.
Sixty-nine pupils were enrolled out of
each one hundred of the population
between the ages of FIVE and
eighteen years. At this rate of
attendance the entire population
is receiving on an average little less
than four and one-half years school
ing of 200 days each. In some states
this average falls as low as two years,
and in others it rises to nearly seven
years las in Massachusetts).
Out of this entire number deduct the
private and parochial schools of all
kinds. elementary, secondary, higher.
and schools for art, industry, and BUSH
ness, for defective classes and Indians,
and there remain over thirteen and
one-half millions for the public-school
enrolment, or nearly SO per cent.
