The United States Senate has adopted a
resolution calling for an investigation of
the bond issues made by the Cleveland ad-
ministration. This resolution, which was
introduced by Senator PETER of Kansas,
was stoutly opposed by Senator Hill of
New York in protracted speech, but he
ceeded in securing the support of only
five senators beside himself against its
adoption. The investigation will be made
by a subcommittee of five members of the
Senate committee on finances whom Sena-
tor Morrill,, the chairman, has named as
follows: Harris Dem.), chairman, Vest
and Walthall Dem.), Jones of Nevada
Pop.), and Platt (Rep). Mr.. Morrill,, it
is understood, counts it only just that a
majority of Democrats should make the
investigation under all the circumstances.

News comes that the British admiralty
has issued an order dsbanding the flying
squadron" of seven war vessels which
were put in commission so suddenly last
January. The formation of the squadron
caused much comment at the time, as it
was thought in some quarters that it was
intended as a menace to the United States
on account of President Cleveland's Ven
ezuelan message. In other quarters it was
thought that the squadron was intended to
show Germany that g Eat Britain did not
propose to allow any il. ,rference in the
Transvaal trouble, Emperor William hav-
ing short time before sent his famous
telegram to President Kreuger congratu-
lating him upon the Beers successful de-
fence of the Transvaal against the Jane
son raiders. 1t has never been definitely
stated what object the British government
had in view. After going into commission
the squadron proceeded to Ireland, where
it has since remained doing nothing.

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


 If farmers would make a study of natural history and its bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen eoops, 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 2,3O0 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 blaekbird 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 (newtsJ, 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 50,000 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.

BARBERS IN AUSTRIA.
They Must Serve In All Cases a Three
 Years Apprenticeship.

Years Apprenticeship.
 The Austrians take no chances with their barbers, says the New York World. They must be good, and the Barbers' and Wigmalkers' union of Vienna sees to it that they are. Provision is also made in their code for women barbers who desire to carry on the business Of of their husbands in case of the latter's death or illness.
 But in order to do this the wife must have been enrolled in the union as an ap- prentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must appear in Vienna in the presence of judges of the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own.
 A properly certified barber must have knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair-cutting, hair-curling and wig making, and during the period before the issuance of a certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment.
 At the examination the young men

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

Wu0 AnlmaIS That tnhaD1ted England m
 Former Times.
 The beaver is one of the five man. 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 fber), 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 75O.
 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 1877. According to Pennant, they be- came extinct in 16S0.

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 gamekilling implements. A Forest and Stream cor respondent got letter from New Brunswick the other day which said that iintlock 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 f1ints 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 flintlock guns, but to use them so near New York as is New Brunswick is curious.
 A flintlock gun, beside 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.

have their razors dulled by four strokes in pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tonsorially perfect. iu the opinion of the judges, when the apprentice has released him.
 After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as @ journeyman before he may open a shop as an employer. The average age of ap- prentices when they begin to learn their trade is B years.
