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

If farmers would make 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, 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), 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 a 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.

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

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle 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 camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden a 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 its 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 tc scratch the unsul- blurred end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than 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 suc- ceed-it will be necessary to keer matches out of his reach.

"FORM" IN BICYCLING.
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 ,l;is to know 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 FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles Y.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. I-e was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What. Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after ali, and then they would get it. l will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his ! umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight. T- I,o 1 to be mightier than the sword.

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

Goods.
 4 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 ec' 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 approaching 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- tion of his contract.

ENEMIES OF ENGLAND.
Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
 Three Great Potentates.

1hree (ireslt POtenfateS.
 The three greatest potentates of mod ern times have been England's strenu ous antagonists-viz., Philip H., Louis XIV. and Napoleon. Of these three Ma poleon was the most powerful says Dlackwood's Magazine, Philip the most deadly. The leaders under whom the English rallied against these world-fa- nous monarchs were, first, Elizabeth and Drake; second, William and Niarl- borough; Third, Pitt and Nelson. The result of the first of these great his- toric duels was to overturn the founda- tions of Spanish empire, with it's do minion over the seas, its vast colonial possessions, it's claim under a papai bull to an exclusive monopoly of the new world. The result of the second was to decide which should be the residuary legatee of the deceased Spanish power, France or England; giving in the end the succession to it's old world domin- ions to France, it's trade, maritime su- premacy and colonies mainly to Eng lan(..
 The result of the third was to shat ter NapoIeon's hopes of ascendancy by sea, and to force him back on European conquests, upon projects which related to the old world and not to the new Pitt and Nelson did not disappear un- til that end was attained and England's $ part in the later wars of Napoleon was that, having, as Pitt said in almost his closing words, saved herself by her energy she saved Europe by her ex- ample and assistance.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet 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 cleo 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.

An,hodr nut AddIcks.

In every part OF Delaware speculation
Is rife as to the outcome OF the bolt Of .
respectable element OF the Republican
party against Addlcks and Addicksism.
The questioning mind is turned TO the
future and coniuring up political situs-
tions and results. The great question is
have the anti-AddIeks Republicans that
cohesive quality essential TO a successful
revolt, or will they be divided and sub
divided by dissensions among them
selves We think not, for they have no
spoils in prospect and bat one common
purpose Il is TO defeat Addicks
ct all hazards and at whatever cost, and
convince him that he cannot dominate
Republican politics In Delaware. Il
other words, that Democratic success is
preferable and less harmful TO the Re-
publican party than Addlcks domination
with all that the term implies. Having
such common purpose they should be
able to accomplish It.

the gas king must be a man OF wonder
ful resource to stand up against them
We believe that they can and will
defeat him, In spite of all his endeAvort
to clrcumvent them. Were they 80 dis.
posed they could meet him In the Geld
dollar for dollar. but they will not be
compelled to do So The moral force
which they will exert upon the masses will
be matter Of surprise and qualification.
They would rather give the Democrats
the victory than see such man 40
AddIoks In control OF a state whose
political traditions are Of the proudest IN
the land.
They have set out to defeat him, aud
they will do it At any cost. No compro-
mise is possible. They have taken the
proper course to command the respect
and allegiance Of their followers In the
recent primaries The platform which
they will adopt and the ticket which
they will put In the deld will be worthy
of the endorqamant of auv trna Ranuhlf
can. No Republican principle need be
sacrificed In voting for their nominees.
BY the time that they get through
with Addicks he will be ready to retire
from Delaware politics and devote
himself to line OF business which calls
for smaller investmsnts and brings
larger returns.
