A FEATHERED SENTINEL.
This Tale Shows That the Crow Is a Very
tfl Wise Old Bird.

A naturalist who is much interested in
birds says that the crow is the wisest of all
feathered animals. He has made n num-
Der of experiments recently and declares
that an ordinarily well educated crow can
count to 20, and that he has found a SEN
tinel crow, very old and very wise, that
can count to 20. He made these discoveries
in very interesting way.
Last summer he spent much time in the
mountains, where cadet company of
boys was camped. One day he found a
flock of crows gathered around a dead ami
NAL that lay near little old shanty in the
woods. They tapped away when he ap-
preached. So he hid himself in the old
shanty and waited, but they would not
come back. Then he went out and walked
up the mountain, and they all settled
down again to the feast. That afternoon
he took four boys from the cadet GO p
with him, and the five marched into the
little building and waited. Nocrows came
back. Two of the boys went out. Still no
crows. Then the other two went out, and
only the naturalist remained. But the old
sentinel crow had evidently counted them
as they went In, and he knew they had not
all come out. So he sat on dry pine
stump and said Cav, caw," quite deris-
lively At last the naturalist left the build
ing, and straightway all the crows re-
turned. This experiment was repeated a
number of times with varying numbers Of
boys, but the crows kept count and would
not come down until the building was en-,
tirely empty
At last whole platoon of the cadets
90 boys in all, and the naturalist, marched
into the old building. Then slowly 90 Of
them went away The crows did not stir
Two more, four more, five more, went
but the old sentinel warned his compan
ions that the men had not all gone. Their
the twenty sixth cadet marched away
leaving only the naturalist In "A very few
minutes there were n number Of very
hopeful caws and Topping of wings. ant
the crows returned. The old sentinel coult
evidently count 26, but numbers beyonC
this puzzled him. The experiment wa
tried several times more, and it was founC
that the crows could keep the count with
out difficulty up to 20, but beyond tina
they were uncertain. This shows that tn
crow is very wise old bird. Chicag,

FIRST FLOWERS.

Through the howery gates OF the south land
The soul OF the south wind came
And under my antique lnttice bars
The daffodil brake like flame,
And said, by the sign and token
OF his vernal kiss, know
The angel rolleth the stone away
From their graves 50 chill and low
From the graves OF the wild anemoDe,
And the sweet arbutus, hid
Where the violet waits for the sun beneath
Her NOISY coffin lid,
And today in the shining burrows
OF the stubble newly turned.
The tiny fame Of the starwort
Like a silver taper burned.
And thought with sweet thanksgiving,
And a glow of faith sublime,
II he so waketh the humblest flower
In her appointed time
How shall the hopes that, low In dust
Now sleep with folded wing
Rise, when his smile shall clotbe the earth
With an eternal spring.

THE PUBLIC AND PLAYS.
When Times Are Troubled, People Want
Farces and Variety Shows.

1t was suggested that many actors and
their supporters nowadays had aMcnt deal

changed greatly during the last quarter If
a century. Just now vaudeville is popu-
lar. Tragedy doesn't seem to be apprec-
ated. The vaudeville people are very clev-
er, some of them. They do excellent work
in their way. Why not give them credit
for what they do so well2 But the present
liking for variety shows and variety acts

Before the war tragedy was always
popular, but afterward it seemed to have
lost its power as an attraction. My theory
may be wrong, but think that theatrical
conditions at present are simply IA result
of the war. Mr. Forrest told me that as
he was walking down Broadway one after
noon he went into theater, not noticing
the bill 1t proved to be Lydia Thompson
and her troop, and just after he took. his
seat oneof the burlesquers on the stage be-
gan to sing nursery rhyme about Jack
and Jill, or something Of that sort. The
audience applauded, and another verse was
sung about Hey Diddle. So 1t went on un-
til at last a reference was made In one Of
the rhymes to the Astors, and then the
people simply went wild. When Forrest
told me the story, he stopped for n mo-

1t is One or the Other.-Which will
NIaury Choose?
The Democratic State Executive
Committee have remanded the con-
troversy between Col. n. n. Cox and
Hon. w. j. Whitthorne back to the
people. On the 18th inst direct
primary election will be held to de-
termine who shall be the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Sew
enth Congressional District. Mr..
Whitthorne has made one of the
ablest and most faithful representa-
tives that Maury or any other
county has ever sent to the Legisla-
ture of the State. No one is in closer
touch with, and warmer sympathy
for the "plain people" than Mr..
Whitthorpe. He should have been
declared the nominee by the State
Committee; but we submit to their
arbitration. Mr.. Whitthorne made
his fight without money. The ma
chinery of the party was under the
control of Col. Cox, but the question
is again submitted under different
auspices, and Mr.. Whitthorne's
friends are determined to use every
proper effort to secure his nomina-
ton. They believe him to be far the
better man for the position. In adj
dition to this, Maury County is en-
titled to have the office filled by one
of her citizens, as we think, for the
following reasons; Giles has one Of
the Judges of the Supreme Court,
the Chancellor and the State Treas
urer; Wayne has the Attorney Gen
eral, Hardin has the Circuit Judge
and Williamson has the Chancellor
of her district. Our sister counties
are just, and surely will concede to
Maury the Congressman. Mr.. Whit
thorne is a gentleman of acknowl-
edged ability, is in full accord with
the Democratic principles as enun-
ciated at Chicago, is generous
hearted friend of the people, and his
admirers are gathering around him
with the determination to win his
election on the 18th. Let all those
who favor his nomination go to the
primaries on the 18th and record
their vote for Maury's favorite son.

Abnormal Conditions Have Prevailed
Recently All Over the World.

The exceptional violence of the recent
tornado in Paris, analogous to but for
tunately less destructive than the fear
full catastrophe at st. Louis in May. this
year, attracts attention to the extraor-
dinary vicissitudes of the worlds wealth
er during the last eighteen months. 1t
will be observed that storms of this 10
cally violent character, entirely differ
ent from what are properly termed cy-
clones, generally occur at the close of
long period of drouth such as we have
lately experienced. 1t would almost
seem indeed as though nature, weary
of one type swung over to the opposite
with the petulant violence of spoiled
child.
The tornadoes which peppered the
middle states of America this spring
terminated a drouth which affected a
large portion of the same area so severe
ly as to allow the bed of the Ohio river to
be worked for coal, reduced the fall of
Niagara and lowered the st. Lawrence
to an unprecedented extent. Extend
ing the area Of observation, we find ever
since February, 1895, equally abnormal
conditions prevailed over India. Austria

For example, the southeast trade wind
of the Indian ocean and its twin brother,
the southwest monsoon of India, were
both very feeble last summer, the fall

down to famine mark in some parts of
India. Coincidentally with and follow
