How Society People Go Wheeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure a situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

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

If farmers would make study of natural history and its bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, 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, 48 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), crawfsh, 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 o1 course destroy lot of grain. Some 5o,0O0 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.

 Prescott climate during the summer Is delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, whicn makes the expense of living very small. Desirable camping grounds can be found within a radius of one mile from Prescott.

BOUGHT ANOTHER'S MUSTACHE. Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the

A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per sons were sitting at table in a local hotel, when the splendid mustache of a horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal e. and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. "Ten francs" replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them," said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 500 francs damages for non-execu- fion of his contract.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle a
 Fire with Them.

But Has NOG the lnCeu1Seuce GO hnulc a
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed. has told story of apes making thiev ing raid on a camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not &C., cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt to scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than a smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting..
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn 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.
