A WISE OLD SENTINEL CROW.

WISE OLD SENTINEL CROW.
A naturalist who is much interested
in birds says that the GROW is the
wisest of all feathered animals. He
has made a number OF experiments
recently and declares that an ordino-
rily well-educated crow can count to
twenty, and that be has found senti-
mel crow, very old and very wise, that
can count to twenty-six. He made
these discoveries in a very interest
ing way.
Last summer he spent much time in
the mountains, where a cadet company
of boys was camped. One day he
found a flock of crows gathered
around a dead animal that lay near a
little old shanty in the woods They
tapped away when he approached.
So he hid himself in the old shanty
and waited, but they would not come
back. Then he went out nnd walked
on up the mountain, and they all set
tied down again TO the feast That pf-
ternoon he took four boys from the
cadet camp with him, and the FIVE
marched into the little building and
waited. No crows came back. Two of
the boys went out Still no crowa
Then the other two went out and only
the naturalist remained. But the old
crow 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
"caw cav" quite derisively. At last
the naturalist left the building, and
straightway all the crows returned.
This experiment was repeated q num-
her of times with varying numbers of
boys, but the crows kept count, and
would not come down until the build.
ing was entirely empty.
At last q whole platoon of the
cadets, twenty-six boys in all, and the
naturalist marched into the old build.
ing. Then slowly twenty of them
went awny. The crows did not stir.
Two more, four more, five more went,
but the old sentinel warned his com.
panions that the men had not all gone.
Then the twenty-sixth cadet marched
away, leaving only the naturalist.
In very few minutes there we're a
number of hopeful caws and o
tapping OF wings and the crows re.
turned. The old sentinel could evil
IDENTIFY count twenty-six, but numbers
beyond this puzzled him. The ex.
pertinent was tried several times more,
and it was found that the crows could
keep the count without difficulty uT
to twenty, but beyond that they were
uncertain. This shows that the CROW
is o very wise old bird. Chicago REQ

The Porcupine and the Inflated Tire

A Marquette bieycler was riding
along country roa when he saw II
small animal in the path, and as it
showed no signs of turning out as be
approached, he ran over it. It
was poor judgment on his part,
though, mighty poor Judgment, for
the animal was a porcupine, and when
the cycler took an inventory of the
damage, lie found his tire SO full Of
holes that sieve was nothing in COM
parison. He is more careful what he
runs over with his new tire. Detroit

Details of q new process for keeping
fruit in fresh condition have recently
been received from France. A scien-
fist noted that pears and apples kept
for several months in an atmosphere
saturated with vapors of water and al
cohol, and be resolved to carry the ex-
pertinent further, with a view to learn
ing the possibility of reducing the
scheme to the requirements of every
day needs and methods. With this
object in view the operator placed a
variety of fruit, including grapes, to-
gether with bottle containing sixty
one cubic inches of alcohol at ninety
six degrees in a brick receptacle from
which the light and air we're excluded
by common wooden door. In two
similar receptacles, the door of one be-
ing left open and that of the other
closed, but the alcohol being absent
from both, other fruit was placed, and
they were placed in a deep cellar, the
atmosphere of which registered about
so degrees. Twenty days later the con-
tents of the two last named chambers
were found to be absolutely worthless,
but the receptacle in which the bottle
of oil had also been placed presented
a very different spectacle. Not only
were the grapes firm, full and entirely
free from mould, but the bloom upon
them was found to be as fresh as
though the bunch had just been taken
from the vine. The chamber was
closed for another month, and at the
end of that period everything was as
fresh as formerly, and the freshness
was evident equally as much in the
taste as in the appearance. These ex-
periments have certainly added to our
methods of fruit preserving a process
which is not only inexpensive, but ex-
ceedingly useful, = Home Builder, Bar

the knowledge that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that It is the

If in the enjoyment of good health,

Tables giving the respective percentage
OF nutriment in animal and vegetable foods
are quite common and are often consulted
by those wishing to gain nourishment from
the smallest quantity of food matter. Such
persons forget that the measure of nutri-
tion to any individual case is not to be
judged by IA cable showing the nutritive
parts of food as determined by chemical
analysis, but depends upon its feasibility
in his or her particular case. Cheese,
measured by the elements of its compost
ton, is far more nourishing than beef, yet
cheese is to most people difficult of diges-
ton, and therefore beef in the majority OF
cases affords much more actual nourish-
ment. All depends on the person. Many
times food that is practically poison to one
is nourishing and invigorating to another.

made, but We are made so unlike in many

THE HOUSEKEEPING INDUSTRY.

According to the statistics furnished
by the United States department of
agriculture, the horses of the United
States increased during period of
twenty-five years, from 1865 to 1893,
from $3.50, $40 to 1920, SOP, being an
average of oyer $4,000 per annum.
which, of course, was a'larger number of
horses than were needed for actual use.
In 1893 the panic cyclone struck us.
The manufacturer and the merchant
could not afford to invest in such
luxuries and the American farmer, be-
ing discouraged by the extremely low
prices of all farm products and the ar
ticles written in the papers, decided to
dispose of his surplus horses at any sac
ritice, and the price was cOrrcspondihgly
low, just as it would have been had his
land or other property in like manner
been forced upon the market in such
times.
From 1898 to 1884 the horses of the
country decreased about l25, ZOO, and
1895 to 1896 7G9, 26l, making a decrease
in three years OF over l, 100000. AS the
horses now in the country become older
the death rate will become correspond
ingly larger and it is fact patent to
every one that has any acquaintance
with the horse business that there are
very few twO-year-Olds, a less number OF
yearings, and one has but to take a
twenty.mile drive through the country
in any direction to be convinced thai
there are practically no weanlings anC
cOrrespondingly small number OF
mares in foal. We predict that for the
year 1896, the January report of the de-
partmeut of agriculture will show de
crease of at least one million horses anC
it is not within the power of man to re-
plenish this great decrease within the
next five or six years The Western

Writes "Trotwood" in The Horse Re-

and am not referring to politics either,
but to the now thoroughly settled fact
that the PAGER needs no longer any special

the admiration of the American race

CHARACTER IN FEATURES.
No Two Sides of Faces AIike-odd Eyes
Of Different Co1ors.

The student of physiognomy will find
many details Of interest if he will careful
v note the faces of those with whom he is
brought into Tally contact
So much has lately been written supon
the subject that nothing would seem to be
left of novelty i'm tho matter Yet writer's,
while Dissenting upon traits of character
revealed by the eyes, nose mouth, chin
and even the teeth and wrinkles are all 81
lent on one point that seems to have
escaped the general cpitomzing and yet
it is fraught with odd Inconsistencies preg-
naut with interest
If you note or study carefully, you will
find that in nearly every face, if limo
were drawn directly down through the
center, the two halves would show marked
differences.
Beginning with the waves or outline
where the hair begins to grow, the line
will vary, giving the forehead on either
side of the face decidedly distinctive and
contrasting characteristics, even adding,
in some cases as much as half an inch to
the height of the forehead
Then take the eyebrows In some faces
the difference is hardly perceptible yet
were the curves mathematically measured
II perceptible variation of the lines would
be noticeable.
A careful scrutiny of the eyes in many
faces win result in the discovery that the
right eye is often conspicuously larger
than the left, and there will also be per-
ceptible difference in the slanting of the
orbits In fact, it is the eyes that the
greatest difference is apt to be found in.
The dropping of the lids will also develop
marked deviations from an exact drawing.
Below the eye the under lids are even more
pronounced in the dissiinilitude.
Of the nose, one nOstril is often a trifle
larger, or will extend trife below u line
that might be drawn straight across the
face. The entire nose will often be found
different on either side if carefully noted.
But the mouth is decidedly the feature
where the peculiarities are worthy of study.
The dropping of the corners that often
gives a sneering expression, or, as in some
cases, where the movements of the upper
lip, on one side of the mouth only when
the person is speaking, is in direct CON
trast to the movement of the lips on the
other side This indicates an unsteady,
unreliable nature, lacking both mental
and moral force.
The cheek on one side of the face Will
in many instances, be more rounded than
on the other and the differences in the po-
sitiOn and general contour of the ears are
often startling

Properties.

Its Home, Its Uses and Its Remarkable
Properties.
In itself asbestus is physical paradox,
a meteorological vegetable, both 1ibrous
and cuptalline, elastic, yet brittle, u float
ing stone, but as capable of being carded,
spun and woven as flax, cotton or silk. 1t
is apparently IA connecting link between
the vegetable and animal Kingdoms pos
sessing some of the characteristics of both
In appearance it is light, buoyant and
feathery as thistledown, yet in its crude
state it is dense and heavy as solid rock,
in which it is found. Apparently as per-
ishable as grass, it is yet older than any
order of animal or vegetable life on earth.
Seemingly as combustible as tow, the
tercest heat cannot consume it, and nc
known combination of acids illdistinctly
affect the appearance and strength of its
fiber, even after days of exposure to its ac-
ton. Its incombustible nature renders it
a complete protection from flames, but be-
yond this most valuable quality its indus
trial value is greatly augmented by its
nonconduction of heat and electricity as
well as its important property of practical
insolubility in acids.
Canada contains the great asbestus re-
gion of the world, the product from which
seems practically unlimited, while the
quality fully meets all the requirements of
the innumerable uses that are daily being
found for ii. One of the largest branches
of asbestus manufacture is that of sec
tional coverings for steam cylinders, steam
pipes, etc, for retaining the heat of the
steam in the pipe. In the electrical indus
tries it also finds IA place, MS for covering
wires, protecting electrical apparatus, etc.

States has not done likewise, certain as
we are of the reward which in a few

price $40 to S25 a head and recoup the
farmer far more than the same eXpendi-

universal that absolutely sound and
shapely horses are difficult to find, and,
worse still, are in thin flesh and not in
