The willy Raven.

The following anecdote, communicate
ed by Mr.. R. Ball to the author of
Thomson's Irish Birds, is a curious IL
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 its beak, but in so
doing the bird always escaped, as the
raven could not let go 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 of

4 Papuan Feast.

According to recent visitor to the
Island OF Papua, the basis of exchange
there is arrack or Java rum. one-hali
gallon OF which Is reckoned equal to
one days work at fishing or rattan
cutting. No money Is used. When
this nectar Of the Papuan entars a
home every occupation is dropped and
the family devo.es all its attention
with enthusiastic energy to its con-
sumption. Their efforts never flag
while the rum lasts or strength re-
mains. The resulting stupefaction lasts
for days, but on recovery the family
cheerfully proceeds by persevering In
dustry to acquire the means OF procur-
ing more" Arrack, we learn from the
same authority, is without rival as
"the most villainous intoxcant
known" and its only competitor III
the affections Of the Papuan Is roast

lie to the Papuan simply irresistible

THEY FEARED A MONARCHY,

ceremoniais Awakened Suspicion Among
Early Republican Leaders.
The pageantry OF the Inauguration
serves to recall the old days when the
fear OF the monarchy was heavy upon
the Republican leaders in the new gov
srnment. says the New York Mail and
Express. Washington, the first presi-
dent, In his own person and in his
office, was not averse to the stately
ceremonial and custom that to too ex-
stable minds suggested the era OF
monarchy and oppression. Thus writes
William McClay, senator from Penn
sylvania. in his diary under date Of
June S, 1889: "Levees may be ex-
tremely useful In old countries where
men Of great fortunes are collected, as
they may keep the idle from being
worse employed. but here think they
ire hurtful. Indeed, from
these small beginnings I fear we shall
follow. nor cease till We shall reach
The summit of court etiquette and all
the frivolities, fopperies and expenses

yrieye to think how many individuals
are aiming at these objects with un-
eeasing diligence" The senator did
aot like Washington's way Of deliver
Ing his messages TO Congress in per-
son, instead Of having them read. They
reminded him Of speeches from tho
throne" For q kindred reason he had
no use for the vice. president, John
Adams. Witness an entry in his dairy
made the same year, Just after tho
news Of the fail Of the Bastile had
reached America:
Royalty and nobility and the vile
pageantry by which 4 few Of tho hui

The necks Of their fellow-mortals seem
likely to be demolished with their
