PAID ONr ~. A iisi
Pennies Not Legal Tender iu Amounts Of More Than Twenty-Five Gents.

There is poStnl:: :ster in little town not far distant, who is nc cd for the amount If uthority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A shcrt time ago. says tie Mount Morris {Mieh.) Union, d business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window cf the office and demanded 300 onc-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching l. 5 impcr- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap. han,!ed out g stamps a12d sicFed the rest of tie money to t2e woulo-be buyer with the remark that penEles were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the pest master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his packet and mildly inquired: q suppose l can get one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" s..,d the man at the window. ''Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he | demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait l ing their turn al the window. but the obdurate buyer hept on gravely buying 1 one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to
 arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money
 lasted, and triumphantly departed

BRYAN AND OHIO.
Bryan Republicans for Every Demo-
 cratic Bolter

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.--John H. Thomas, the millionaire Democratic manufacturer of agricultural imple. ments of Springfield, O., gives in let ter to Maryland friend of his, John F. Funk, the result of his study Of the poi- tical situation in Ohio. in the course of his letter M-. Thomas save:
 "Mr. Bryan will get the 55,OO0 Popu- list votes, the 30,C00 Prohibition votes and an immense mum Der of Re epu blican votes: and it is hard 10 see how McKin- ley can overcome this com bination. Bryan will gain votes every day be twean this and the election.
 "Whole neigh borhoods of Republicans have come out for Bryan, and, such be- ing the case, cannot see how he can be defeated in this state or in the coun- try. Ii is true there are some bolting Democrats who will vote for Mckinley. Very few of them will vote for Palmer. There will not be many Democratic in Ohio who will not vote for Bryan. I think for every Democratic vote which goes to Mckinley or Palmer there will be 50 Repu biican votes for Bryan. The | silver sentiment out here is in the nature of tornado swee ping over the country. No one ever saw anything like it."

THE BEflEr,OEN CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen GOODS, 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, ''ccnsisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfsh, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads, salamanders Inewts), 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 50,00O 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.

How society People Go Wheeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grocms 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 situation. On tic road the woman who wishes to ride a la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have 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.

 Governor, your life ain't worth nothin' to me compared to my reputa- tion as the boss poker player O the southwest. Now, that hand O mine can't be beat, an ain't a goin' to lay it down on account O not havin' the stuff to back it up. You're the gov ernor, an this territory officially be- longs to you. Thar's deed fur the huIl blasted territory O Arizony, an if you don't sign it, transferrin' the property to me, I'll kill you right whar you stand!" And he drew an ugly looking pistol from his belt.
 The governor paled just a little, but quickly realizing the fact that such an instrument would be- entirely illegal and valueiess, he secured a pen and signed it.
 Now" said Billy, q see yer Texas ranch, with all its appuntenances, ct cetery, an raise yer w'ats left O the territory O .Arizony'
 The Texan actually gasped and despite his four kings, he now fell sure Billy had a hand to beat him. He either believed the deed good, or did not stop to consider the legality of the transaction, and after a long pause hs turned his cards face up on the table and said:
 q can't meet yer bet, pardner, an weaken an lay these four gents down but if had the governor of Texas here an could git the drop on him, I'd raist you clear out O yer clothes"
 Billy coolly drew in the great pilt of cash and paper, and handing tht hastily drawn deed to the governor said:

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.


 Tie defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says BlaclSwood's Magazine, be- calne busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in winch this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and thestruggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopol;sts were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisit;on and give it back to the free use of t'ie human race, which was the first step ill the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

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

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle
 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 monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly we'll. 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.
 aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured 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 il he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the mer 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 sue ceed-it will be necessary to keei matches out of his reach.

Passengers on the Flint River diyi- sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich., recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune.

The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

Goods.
 A 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 CT and asked him for what price he would sell his mustachc ''Ten francs," replied the latter, laughingly. T 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 n the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating 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.
