The WHY Raven.

The following anecdote, communicate
ed by Mr.. r. Ball to the author of
Thomson's Irish Birds, is curious H.
lustration of the remarkable sagacity
of the raven A tame raven, kept by
schoolboys, was very attentive in
watching their cribs or bird traps, and
when bird was taken, the raven en-
deavored to catch it by turning back
top of the trap with it's beak. but in so
doing the bird always escaped, as the
raven could not let 60 the crib in time
to seize. After several vain attempts
of this kind the raven. seeing another
bird caught. instead of going at once
to the trap, went to another tame raven
and induced it to accompany him.
When the second raven lifted up the
crib. the other bore the poor captive off
in triumph.

Robert Gardhire is a Negro,
and an uneducated one. but when
it comes to figures he can't be
stopped by any mathematician in
the world, says The Augusta Chro-
nicle. He is an humble resident of
Augusta, and is employed as a
laborer at the Interstate Cotton
Oil company. In multiplication
Gardhire is as quick as thought.
Before the average person can set
the figures down with a pencil,
Gardhire has given the correct
answer, aud yet he cannot say
how lie does it. He was asked
what the sum total OF 80 times 81,
and without repeating the figures
to himself Gardhire answered off
hand: 1868" "How much,"
asked one, sis sol times 50!
Without stopping second Gard
hire replied: ''1G,032" And thus
for over half an hour, numbers
were thrown at him and he gave
the correct multiplication like a
flash. In the multiplication Of
fractions the man is equally proh>
cient, and there seems to be no
limit to his powers, which are all
most occult. Gardhire cannot re-
member when he first became
aware Of his power, and does not
even know how he discovered it.
He says when the figures are given
to him he sees their answer imme-
diately. Simply by glancing at a
long line Of figures he can tell i'm
mediately what they are--Mobile

Democracy. In 1887 his friends urged
him to run for district attorney and
he was elected over very warm oppo-
sition. De Lancey Nicoll was running
against him on the republican ticket,
but the united democratic forces car
rled the city and Colonel Fellows was
put into office. He was elected in 1892
to congress, but Mr.. Croker selected
him the following year for the district
attorneyship and he was again success
full.
AS district attorney Colonel Eel
lows was very able. His specially
was the trial of doodle" cases, and his
strong point lay in his manner Of pre-
senting the evidence to the jury. His
power with the twelve good men and
true" seemed to be illimitable. He
swayed them at will, provoking them to
laughter or tears, as he desired to
elicit their sympathies or excite their
sense Of the ridiculous.
In the recent campaign Colonel Eel
! lows left the democratic party and
bolted to Major Mckinley. He spoke in
the west and south in favor Of gold
money and exerted a wide influence
by his work. He leaves widow and
one son and two daughters.

COOP ANIMAL STORIES.
vOrAciOnD Collection of Them Put into

Verac4oOD COuecClOA OF Enenn z us AnbO y
Book by Andrew Lang.
A collection of sixty-fVe animal
stories, edited by Andrew Lang, has
been published. The editor declares
that they are mostly true" Some OF
them are very entertaining. There Is,
for example, the story Of Sal, the
Panther" who was brought up as a
domestic pet at Cape Coast Castle, he
being native of Ashantee, some seven
ty or eighty years ago. The following
is passage from the story Of Sal,
which describes the scenes depicted In
the first of the two illustrations kindly
lent to US by Messrs. Longmans & Co.
Sal was very popular with everybody
but he had his own faVorites, and the
chief OF these was the governor, whom
he could not bear to let out Of his
sight. When his master went out he
would station himself at the drawing
room window, where he could watch all
that was going on, and catch the first
sight Of his returning friend. Being by
this time nearly grown up, Sails great
body took up all the space, to the great
disgust of the children, who could see
nothing. They tried to make him move,
first by coaxings and then by threats,
but as Sal did not pay the smallest at
tention to either one or the other, they
at last all took hold Of his tail and
pulled so hard that no wns forced to
move. Signora, the chief figure In our
second illustration, is a clever poodle,
who, however, was outwitted by the
parrot Lori, another pet Of the same
household. Signora had been taught to
buy cakes at the bakers, either paying
for them or ION tick" according to the
masters orders. Lori, noticing this.
often called the dog when the two were
alone, initiating the masters voice, and
ordering him, go to the baker. On
tick" The guileless Signora went,
brought the cakes, and Lori immedi-
ately ordered him go out" as did his
master when the poodle was not re-
quired in the room. When left alone
Lori the cunning devoured the cakes,
and frequently repeated the experiment
till her wickedness was discovered

built up the robust condition which
stood him so we'll in after years.
When he was 10 his father sent
him to a plantation In Arkansas,
where young Johns uncle taught
him all he knew about farming in

study of law and formed partnership
with Walter L. Bragg. In very short
time he had acquired wide reputation
In Arkansas as lawyer, and his serV-

the cause Of the people among whom he
lived. After the war he went to New
