TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the WI
 BirtIS.


 Birds.
 Crows are trapped and sold to sports. men for shooting matches, usually bring ing $10 per 100, but, like other things. when scarce they bring more
 1t is no simple matter to trap crows, for the crow is a willy bird, and tc catch him in net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience as we'll, but the hunger of the crow is always the trapper's greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day ill his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait a wide berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing the carcass of some ami. nal on l field the net is set close to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hung fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs. and a line run 50 yards or more to a house built of boughs, where the trap per is seereted.
 Another easgass is usually laid some
  or another field, where there is no net set. The trappers, usually two ill mum, Der, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- gin to assemble OH the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows. seeing him leave, grow little bolder and approach the bait in ones and twos, hu+ stoY, ,t,,l9r Iant, aoouob tO oat o haalz ful of the flesh and fly off again. The carcass where there is no net set is of course the best patronized, but the trap per OH the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it i'll numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with out going to the one where the net is After awhile their hunger gets the bet ter of theif judgment or their fear and they gather ea the carcass where the net is. This is the opportunity Of the man iii the boueh house, who, with fl vigorous pull 0n the line, springs the net over them Quick work must be done then by the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crowa from crawling Gilt at the ends and the front, where it is not staked fast to the ground With their hands covered with stout buekskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them. the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried of the field From 40 to GO are frequently caught at one pull but it is rare thing te get more than two springs of the net in ono day. --Phila. delphia Record.

The End of Books.

What be- came of the Alexandrian library? Did the Saracens burn it i'll GAO? There ig this question asked: Was there any Ii. brary at Alexandria containing roo, GOO books? Gibbon inelines to che opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been q library it was burned in the time of Ju. lius Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate. however. that there was library in the Serapeum, by no means large col. lection, but whether destroyed by The. ophilus or Theodosius is not known. Tt looks as if the charge brought againsl the Arabs rested oil no foundation Re. cent explorations of Alexandria, l895-6, show no traces of the Serapeum. The seaport of Egypt was built on damp foundation, and, granting that there was library. if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due to water Books of to day taken to India, 70 the southern states and to the West Indies periab through miiasw New York Timss.

BLACKsMITHS AND TIRES.
From the Washin gton Star.

From the Washir gton Star
1t is demonstrated that whereas narrow
tires are road destroyers, cutting ruts
into the best surfaces and breaking into
the foundations, broad tires are road
makers, rolling the materials compactly
and serving to preserve the highway.
Thus the change from the small to she
large size affects a double gain 1t, is a
curious fact that country blacksmiths as
rule advise tfeir patrons to stick to The
narrow tires, Urging that the draft is
lighter with them than with the broad
ones. This is untrue, as has been shown
by actual experiments, except in certain
infrequent conditions of the road. With
good roads even these exceptions would
be impossible. In the long run the broad
tire will save the stock OF the farmer hun
dreds of thousands of pounds of hauling.
1t would seem to be to the interest OF the
smith to fall in with the march of prog
ress and advise the setting of broad tires,
for that would bring a great rush of bust
ness.

President Smith presided over
yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Health. The cost Of the electric
light plant was taken up for con-
sideration and an explanation made
that the original estimate was
$S09.60, but the actual cost of the

OF the Board having supported the
increased expenditure on the
grounds of necessity and economy,
it was decided to pay the Westing
House Company $500 on account
and to let them wait for the balance
until an appropriation had been
made. The Board accepted an in

the next batch of coolies arrived.

NOTICE.
WV. DIMOND

So many different styles of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the Primus
was introduced a year ago.
This style burns a kerosene
vapor and is non-explosive ;
you can turn it upside down
and no danger will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
moval of the filler cap extin-
cuisines the flame instantly.
In point of simplicity it has
no equal for it has no wick,
burns any grade of kerosene
and the flame can be regu-
lated. 1t produces a heat of
from 2lO0 deg. to 2600 deg.
Fair. and consumes one quart
of oil in five hours consecutive
burning. This means an eX-
pense Of 2 cents per hour.
Nothing but solid brass is
used in the manufacture of
the Primus, and when in oper-
alton it is absolutely odorless,
1t will bring a quart of water
to boiling in B minutes.
We have half dozen styles,
singles, double and triple
burners; extensions for sin
giles so that three vegetables
may be cooked at once.
Soldering irons, flat iron heat
ers, ovens and everything
cessary to cook a meal.

Japan's Protest Against Hawaiian
Annexation.
Public Opinion.l

Japan is nation for which our
Government has always entertained
warm sympathy and our people a
cordial regard. In view of the past
relations Of the two the tone OF
Japan's protest suggests that it is
inspired by some one more subtle
than herself. This supposition re-
ceives certain measure OF support
from the sudden editorial outbur.t
OF St. Petersburg paper against
our Hawaiian policy, There
is still another supposition that
may be found tenablc, and if SO
found may involve very serious con-
sideration. For some time past
there have been underground grum-
blings OF European jealousy OF the
United States. These come from
the absolutist quarters, Russia and
Germany, and are echoed in France.
which m ,kes repeating signals for
ST. Petersburg. We have seen in
the Russian, the German. and the
French press suggestions that it
might be necessary for all Europe
to combine 10 curb the Monroe
doctrine and the expansion Of the
United States. They are particularly
solicitous about Cuba. BY sail
Europe" they mean the three Powers
mentioned, for they know that in a
collision with them England's inter
est would be to stand with US for
Monroeism, as she did seventy years
ago, Unless all signs fail the United
States may have to remind the alb
solutist sympathisers of the pre-
cedents of Monroe's time. For our
selves, we should not regard the un-
yelling of the real sentiment OF the
Russian Government for the United
States az misfortune, OF all the
sentimental reeds we are inclined to
lean on Russian friendship is the
weakest. Boston Transcript Qnd. Rep
