A WEE ROMANCE.
An End-of-the-Century Idyl for the New
 Woman.

An End-of-the-Century Idyl for the New
 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 promise not to marry. The parties to it were rich, elderly woman and the nephew whom she meant to make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio- lently in love with fascinating young widow, and might have married her but that his aunt intervened. She did not try threat, diplomacy or detect i've investigation-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 s50O year. Having more of prudence than sentiment, he closed with the offer, and for several years duly got and spent the promised sum. z.e t. Then the aunt either grew tired of

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

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 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, IS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has 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 (newts), 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 5000 would eat about 5000 pounds day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

FIVE NAM MAILS.
Wild Animals That Inhabited England in
 Former Times.

Wud Animals That Inhabited England in
 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 94O and again in 11S8. 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 1490
 In Scotland wolves were numerous in 1877. According to Pennant, they be- came extinct in 1880.

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


 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 fiintlock guns were still in use up in that country. The letter was from a store keeper, who said that the store had carried supply of gun fints ever since it had been started by his grand father, away back in 1886. 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 fintlock guns, but to use them so near New York as is New Brunswick is curious.
 A fllintlock 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 a modern deer with that ancient weapon could say that he was as good a hunter as anybody. There are few or none that can boast of such kill.

paving 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 tine agreement, declared it could rot 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 n1arr:ao-e with & particular person, hence the nlaintiff was entitled to recover his wi,oIe claim with costs "in consideration Of l.avirg resigned his natural freedom cf n?a-ria2a."

 It is popular bel;ct that the fight of birds is much swifter t,i;:n Ii1at of ir- sects; but g Iur.ber of l; lural;sts who have bee1. making q study Of tie matter think that such is not the ease.
 A coruon house fly, fer example, is not very rap.d in is flight, but it's wings make 500 beats a second. ard send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumst2rcos, n tl,at ST ace of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet ger second. If it could continue such rapid fight for a mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly B seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to 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 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 its utmost efforts completely failed to overtake and capture it.-Phila- dplDhia Record

MILITARY SYSTEM OF GERMANY
The Country That Has Been the War
 School of Europe.

oCuooA oi EuEOpos
 The military history and successes of Germany have easily made her the war school of Europe, and the scien tifc de- velopment of the military art, to which she is indebted for the overthrow of Austria and France in her later wars, has compelled the others to follow her example and initiate her methods even to the particulars of organization and equipment, though unable probably to rival her in systematic thoroughness of preparation and sustained attention to detail. The system evolved by Germany and now substantially common to all the continental states, says the North American Review, is as whole simple enough, and has for it's practical object the conversion, so far as may be, of the entire nation into a military body with the largest amount of training that the finances and other public exigencies will permit.
 The controlling principles may be summarized as follows: 1. Liability to service universal, and actual service COI1pu1SOIy dO Ullc ulSCIGUlOu OI Gllt state. g. The thorough training and maintenance under arms in readiness for immediate service of as large force as practicable. 3. A secure simplicity and perfection of organization and equipment in every particular, large and small. 4. The formation, as rap idly as may be, of a regular reserve, from which the active ranks can be at once expanded from peace to war footing with fully trained men. 5. The formation and partial training of a militia, which in the absence of the regular troops is to occupy garrisons and forts, construct defenses, maintain order at home, and supply the waste of war by filling vacancies in the field. 6. The enrolment of every citizen into a force that may be levied en masse in case of invasion. 7. Careful study and solution, in advance, of every possible military complication in order that prompt and concerted action shall fol low declaration of war.

INQUEST ON THE SUICIDE
An Unfortunate Girl Who In Despair Ended
Her Existence

An Onfortun0Lc OffI VINO IN Despair Ended

A coroner's inquest was yesterday held
upon the remains Of Kitty Reeves, the
unortunate girl who committed suicide
Wednesday night in a lodging house at
No. $40 Maple avenue by taking carbolic
acid. The deceased was Is years Of age
and her former home was in Wichita,
Kans.. where she has sister living
Kitty had been here about six months
and was not married to Reeves. When
he became acquainted with her about
six or seven weeks ago. she was out Of
work and on the streets. They agreed
the lodging house. She secured work
in the Peerless laundry, while he ran
tamale wagon Some days ago she left
and went off on a debauch, but finally
returned. and upon her promise not to
so conduct herself again he relented and
they continued the relations.
Last Monday she went away again
with another girl and did not come back.
Reeves met her Tuesday and told her
he was done with her; that he would no
longer live with her On Wednesday
evening he again saw her on the street
In company with her companion. He
last saw and spoke to her about 9:S0
o'clock, when she asked him for 10 cents,
which he refused to give her. 1t is sup
posed that she wanted this money to
purchase the poison with. She must
have got money somewhere, for the car

at the corner of Sixth and Spring streets
shortly afterward.
Then she went directly back to the
lodging house, took the drug andJ died

Superintendent Flint of the Post.
office Is Accused
BY A DISCHARGED CLERK
Who Claims His Dismissal Was Due to
Exposures
Ne Relation to the Los Angeles Inspector.
.Postoffics Officials Place No csedenes
In the Charges nads

An Associated Press dispatch dated
San Francisco. July 16. says: John F..
Lewis, who was dismissed from the rail-
way mail service on June 1st, after serv-
ing six years as stenographer In the
superintendent's ONCE. has filed sensa-
tional charges against Superintendent
Samuel Flint with the postmaster-gen-
eral at Washington. Lewis asserts that
he was discharged because he testified
against Flint year ago, when Clerk F.
e. Colver Of Los Angeles preferred
charges of drunkenness and favorttism
against his chief. He charges also that
A. c. Malone. E. c. Murray, J. e. Man
deville of Sacramento and p. B. Spears.
all clerks who have been dismissed with
in the past twelve months, were dis
missed for the same reason. The gen.
eral charges which Lewis has preferred
against superintendent Flint allege
drunkenness, the use of vulgar language,
direct and intentional violation OF de-
partment orders in allowing money
lenders to transact business through
the main Office Of the eighth division,
lack Of discipline, favoritism. political
and religious discrimination and gam
bling.
Mr.. Flint. the postofflce inspector of
Los Angeles. is no relation to Superin-
tendent Samuel Flint, whose headquar-
ters are at San Francisco. Mr.. NJ. Flint.
when interviewed by The Herald last
night, said that he had no knowledge of
the circumstances of the charges against
the superintendent.
From other postoff1ce officials seen the
general impression was gained that
there Is nothing to substantiate the
charges made by Lewis. Jack" Lewis
Is known here, and it is said that the
cause of his dismissal six weeks ago
was drunkenness coupled with other Of
fenses against order and discipline.
Superintendent Flint Is frequent Wis
itor to this city in the discharge Of his
duties. The charges that Clerk F. L.
Colver preferred against the superin-
tendent year ago were investigated at
Washington and all disproved. Of the
other clerks mentioned in the dispatch.
E. B. Spears was known here, as his
route was between San Francisco and
this city.
Superintendent Flint is one of the old
est employees in the postal service on the
coast and his local colleagues refuse to
believe that there is anything in the
nharges preferred against him other
than the malice of deposed clerk.
