THE BENEFiCENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.
 If farmers would make Q study of natural history and its bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, 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 2,256 contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, IS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 "The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails, fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts), 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 ot course destroy a lot of grain. Some 50.0O0 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.

"FORM" IN BICYCLING.
How Society People Go a Wheeljng-At

How Society People Go a Wheeling-At-
 tending GrOoms and Maids.
 The form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only ques- ton of short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situation. On the 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 a 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.

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph
 lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep moun- tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

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 well> This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's 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.
 . This fact involves another, that he is 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 a 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 if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men 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 suc- ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.

BOUGHT ANOTHER'S MUSTACHE.
Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 Goods,

A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per- sons were sitting at a table in local hotel, when the splendid mustache of n horse dealer became the subject Of conversation. Ore of the members of the party complimented the horse deal er and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. '"Ten francs," replied the latter, laughingly. q 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 in the evening left the hotel. Not quite approaching the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid inc information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 500 francs damages for non-execu- tion of his contract.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet lat prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when
 business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition

READ CAREFULLY and

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE Of
Is MARCH, It Is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, It Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven;
ience OF writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter OF subscribing at the
proper time. 1t is this fact that makes 1t es-
peciaIly desirable for us, just at this time, TO
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and TO make IT
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker {;
but sends 1t direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-

"Not so very. 1t will be five years

Now I've got around to it, and want

"Well, here's a book Of designs

the way. -,

with the boys, was considerably hila-
rious, and for lark the mischief low
ers reversed the wheels on his honor's
old cradle-shape wagon, putting the
fore wheels behind and the hind wheels
in front, thus raising the fore part OF
the wagon to an unwonted eminence.
When he reached home, near morn
