Eye Changes Position.

It is not generally known that tie young flat fish have an eye on each side of the body, and that it is only in the adult stage that the eyes are both on one side. There has been much dis- cussion among scientific men as to the mode in which the change takes place, 0ut in the founder the eye has been observed to travel over the lidge of the head while in some other fish it passes directly through the soft tissue of the young fish to the other side.

TRAINED TO STEAL.
Clever Thieves Use the Pointer Dog as an
 AccompI;ce.

AccompIice.
 Pointer dogs can always be trained to steal. Many of them are natural thieves without training, and any of the species can be taught. There is d g of this kind in northwest Washington. He will pick up anything he can find around a yard or outside of store, but his speciality is ladies' pocketboolss and handbags. When he sees one of these he grabs it and runs, always succeeding in getting out Of sight before he can be captured or followed. No c1ncr has ever been seen, hence no ccm plaints have been made at police headquarters. but there is little doubt, if # were pos sible to follow the animal, that it would be found that he has been carefully trained as q purse-snatcher. and that lie takes his booty home to his master. He seems to be aware that he is dong wrong, jumping fences and lodging around houses when running away.

Rash Promise.

A story is told of a London magistrate who had London lady up before him the day after Christmas whom the po- liceman said he. had found helplessly tipsy. He told her he would let her go, considering the festive season, if she would promise never to enter public house again. But, your honor,' said the lady, q was not drunk; I was drugged." Well" said the magistrate, who saw that she was fencing, 'l'll let you go if you will promise never to enter a drug store again." To save the fine she promised and departed. All her soda water is gone.

FIVE MAMMALS.
Wild Animals That Inhabited England in
 Former Times.

Former Times.
 The beaver is one of the five mann malian animals that have inhabited England in former times, and have be- come extinct within historic record ,ac- cording to Notes and Queries.
 They are the true brown bear, Ursus arctos), the beaver, Castor fiber), the reindeer, (Tarandus rangifer), the wild boar, (Sus scrofa), and the wolf, (Canis lupus). The bear was abundant in the north of England and in Scotland when this country was in the hands of the Romans, and many Caledonian bears were imported into Rome. They dis appeared altogether in about 750.
 The beaver was numerous in some localities in the north of Wales in $40 and again in 11SS. There are records of them much later in Scotland.
 Reindeer were abundant in Scotland, and were hunted in Caithness in the year 1159.
 Wild boars were numerous when large tracts of wood gave them harbor. They were hunted by the Tudors. They certainly existed in the year 1917, and probably much later.
 The wolf in England disappeared about 149O.
 In Scotland wolves were numerous in 1577. According to Pennant, they be- came extinct in 1880.

THE BENEFICENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.


 If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen GOODS, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,300 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, 4S per cent vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 "The animal food,'' says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads. salamanders lnewts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food Is taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy lot of grain. Some 50,00O would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do

STILL USING FLINTLOCKS.
New Brunswick Storekeeper Says His
 Patrons Must Have Them.

Some regions are rather slow to adapt themselves to modern game-killing implements. A Forest and Stream cor respondent got a letter from New Brunswick the other day which said that f1intlocll guns were still in use up in that country. The letter was from a store keeper, who said that the store had carried a supply of gun flints ever since it had been started by his grand father, away back in 1S36 Probably he would lose trade if he did not have them in stock. It is not improbable that Indians in the North Woods of Canada still use fiintlock guns, but to use them so near New York as is New Brunswick is curious.
 A f1lintlock gun, beside a modern hammerless gun, makes a contrast apt to be remembered. It has been pro- posed more than once that sportsmen, instead of using such deadly weapons as modern guns, take up the old bow and arrow, or some other primitive weapon The sportsmen that had killed modern deer with that ancient weapon could say that he was as good hunter as anybody. There are few or none that can boast of such kill.

SPEED OF lNSECTG.
Naturalists Say They Gan Fly ts Fast as
 Eird;.

Eirds.
 It is a popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than tat of in sects; but a number of natul alists who have been making study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A commcn house fly, for example, is not very Ia 2iG in it's flight, but it's wings make S00 beats a second, and send it through the ar 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances. in that space of time When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it car increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet Ter second. If it could continue such rapid fight for a mile in a straight line il would cover that distance in exactly 8 seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see a bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying 10 get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between a swal- low and dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and lodged with such ease that the swallow. despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to overtalle and capture it.-Phia- delphia Record.

paying or became less fearful of the widow, and she would not pay another ha'penny, so the nephew went to law. He won his case, for, although the op- posing counsel was not admitting tna agreement, declared it could not be en- forced as contrary to public modesty: the learned judge thought otherwise. A promise to abstain wholly from mar riage, he said, neither could or should be enforced. but this was to refrain only from marriage with particular person, hence the plaintiff was entitled to recover his whole claim witL costs lin consideration of havirg resigned his natural freedom of marri2Ta."

A WEE ROmANCE.
An End-of-the-Century IdyI for the New
 Woman.

Woman.
 The world has laughed this long time over suits for breach of promise of mar riage, says an exchange. In a volume of English law reports there is recorded a case well-nigh as amusing, whose oc- casion was not the breach, but the keep ing of d promise not to marry. The parties to it were a rich, elderly woman and the nephew whom she meant to make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio- lently in love with a fascinating young widow, and might have married her but that his aunt intervened. She did not try threat, diplomacy or detect i've investigatiCn-she was another sort and knew a trick worth all of them. . She said plumply to the youngster that so long as he remained free of the widow he might count upon receiving from herself E 800 d year. Having more of prudence than sentiment, he closed with the offer, and for several years duly got and spent the promised sum.
 Then the aunt either grew tired of

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.

r. minnesota Labor Convention.
The semi-annual convention Of
the Minnesota Federation of Labor
convened at Labor Temple in
Minneapolis June IA, 1890 a. m.
President Hughes presiding, with
1O2 delegates present. The conven-
ton was one of the best yet held
in the state. A more brainy, ear
nest crowd of men and women have
never convened in Minnesota
