More than usual interest is attached
to the appearance of Miss Margaret
Fuller in the play of "The Daughter
of Paul Romaine," for in this play is
promised a relief from the new woman
and the woman with a past, and will
be given a heroine who is a young girl,
Vlrtuous, noble, struggling with un
usual conditions. It is a play of abb
sorbing interest, intense emotion, stir
ring action and strong and exciting
situation, approaching indeed the sen

A FEATheRep sENTlNEL.
This Tale ehows That the Crow Is Yer!
Wiso Old Bird.

Wise old Bird.
A naturalist who is much interested in
birds says that the crow is the wisest of all
feathcrcd animals Ho has made a num-
Der of experiments recently and declares
that nm ordinarily well educated crow can
count to 20, and that he ms found q 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 q cadet company of
boys was camped. One day nc found
flock of crows gathered around n dead ami
mai that lay near u littlc 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
como back. Then he went out and walked
up the mOunt,is, :..l tslT all settled
down again TO the feast. That afternoon
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 nc
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 ho knew they had not
all come out. So he sat on a dry pine
stump anu hAlu 0AWf NAMs Qullt Qttlo-
lively. At last tho 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 i'm all and tho naturalist, marched
into the old building. Then slowly 90 Of
them went away. The crows did not stir
Two more, four more, five moro, went,
but the old sentinel warned his compan-
ions that the men had not all gone. Then
the twenty cadet marched away,
leaving only the naturalist In n very few
minutes there were number of very
hopeful caws and a Topping of wings. and
the crows returned. The old sentinel could
evidently count 90, but numbers beyond
this puzzled him. Tho experiment was
tried several times more, and it was found
that the crows could keep the count with
out difficulty up to 20, but beyond that
thcy were uncertain. This shows that the
crow is @ very wise old bird-Chicago
Record.
