0eof1es Told By Westerners Of the Antics
u the Sand I'm Crane.
The sand hill crane is very bright
bird A Recreation writer says that its
very name is SYNONYMOUS Of vigilance
and alertness. 1t feeds ON the treeless
plains or in the barren wheat stubble,
where it can see a long way beyond gun
shot, or one Of q flock is posted as SEN
tinel, and this bird stands with bill half
open, ready to give an alarm. : 1t can be
killed by decoying it with pasteboard
figures cut to proper size and shape and
painted, hut mounted birds are better.
A pit is dug deep enough to conceal .
man, the decoys are put out, and the
cranes are shot - they come over. The
best region to shoot them il in the Co
lumbia river watershed and south Of it
in the Pacific coast states
When one shoots bird Of the size
and build Of a crane in midair, it col
lapses, like a card house or q tent. But
such apparent collapees are sometimes
deceptive. as, for instance:
Before could reach him he SCARED
of into the. air with wheeling flight.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for a decoy, tried to tap him ON the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and used my gun as backed OF, and
he took to his wings"
The sand hill crane is something Of q
fighter Of men if wounded, and the only
safe crane is a dead one. Their bills are
long and sharp and are capable Of put
ting out mans eye.
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than pass
ing interest to the student Of birds. Out
on the prairies parties of them have balls
in the spring, to which the select birds
seem to be invited. These balls are pic
turesque affairs from the human stand
point. There are curious dances, which
are sort Of solitary waltzes OF pretty
slow jigs. Sometimes the birds leap
over one another's backs and flap their
wings, giving their peculiar cry. Some
times rival birds have fierce duels, using
their keen bills like lances. battleaxes
and swords.

Vegetable Properties.

It may be well to mention that an
eminent physician who has been inves.
tigating the properties Of the differen,
vegetables announces that a diet Of
carrots ameliorates harshness Of charac-
ter and reduces nervous irritability.
Peas create fatty tissue and encourage
joyousness, while turnips have just the
opposite effect. Celery taken in excess
causes eye trouble, while cabbage is
beneficial in pulmonary ailments, and
lettuce aids rs a sedative owing to the
opium contained in its milky juice,
which keeps the skin clear and fresh.
Red beets are blood producing and will
add plumpness TO the thinnest form,
providing they are boiled tender.-New
York journal.

ERROR IN THE JEWISH CALENDAR.
a Universal Synod Suggested For Ia
Needed Correction.

a Universal Synod Suggested For II,
Needed Correction.
In lecture recently delivered Under
the auspices Of the Graetz college in
Philadelphia en- The Jewish Caler-
'dar, D.. Cyrus Adler cs.-..o6 attention
to an error in the calendar which may
occasion Some surr'.se to persons who
have not invesSigatod the subject
1t is q fact well known that the Jew
ish calendar in its present form was
promulgated by Hi'lel II, about $50 G.
Z. This calendar is bound lunar cal
endar-i G., lunar calendar with cor
rection to solar time. AT the time tina;
the calendar was established it was
much more accurate than any in use.
1t was universally accepted by Jews,
even by the Karaitcs. and has afforded
an important outward bond Of union
among scattered Israel.
Graetz has voiced the ordinary cpin.
ion as to the accuracy of our calendar
in the following words: 1.-THE methcc
OF calculating the calendar introduced
by Hillel is SO simple and certain that
up to the present day it has not required
either emendation CT amplifscation, and
fer this reason is acknowledged TO be
perfect by all who are competent to cx-
press an opinion on the subject, whether
Jews or non-Jews.
This statement, however, does not
agree with the astronomical facts Our
calendar makes the average lunar month
20 days IL hours Al minutes 3ls sec
ondS, whereas the true value is 20 DAYS
IL hours A minutes CO. 81 seconds.
Again, our calendar calculates the solar
year at 365 days hours 90 minutes
20. 439 seconds, whereas the true value
is 800 days hours As minutes 46. OG9
seconds. 1t is plain, accordingly, that
there is double source Of error,
amounting to more than minutes per
year. Assuming the lunar and solar
year to have been co-ordinated at the
time Of publication Of Hillel's calendar,
the Jewish year has in the 1, $40 years
intervening advanced forward from the
vernal equinox somewhat over days.
The importance Of the correctness of
the calendar is SO great that it would
appear advisable that q universal synod,
be called to devise plan whereby the
error may be obviated. Such synod
once assembled, might be able to take
| action in other directions of the high
est Importance for the welfare Of Israel.

Liberty is of no value in itself, but is
valuable only as means to equality,

Archdeacon Sinclair, in his Leaders

an Eton head master, known as "Flog-

row Of boys in his study, he began, as
usual, to fog them. They were too
terrified at the awful little man to re-
monstrate till he had gone half way
down the row, when one plucked up
courage to falter out: please, sir, we're
not up for punishment-we're confir-

1t Is to be feared that clergymen who
have entered the church through theo-
logical colleges are wretched scholars
as rule. The Bishops have lately
Iouho IL necessary to insist on an en-
trance examination on general subjects
before admission to theological COL
iege can be granted. and the results
nave been decidedly startling. The re-
quirements are almost ridiculously ele-
mentary: couple of books of Keno
phon's "Anabasis,' some quite easy
Latin, two books of Euclid. and so
forth. Nevertheless it is stated that a
large number OF candidates for orders
are so grossly ignorant that they have
been unable to get through this exceed
ingly easy ordeal.-London Truth.
