TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the wiry
 Birds.


 Crows arc trapped and sold to sports men for shooting matches, usually bring ing $10 per 100, but like other things, when scarce they bring more.
 It IS no simple matter to trap crows, for the crow is a willy bird, and to catch him in q net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience as well, 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 in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give bis bait 8 wide berth because they would know that he was there
 After placing the eareass of some ani- nal on field the net is set close to it by bending poles of sapIings, on which the net is hung fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs, and line run 50 yards or more to a house built of boughs, where the trap per is secreted.
 Another carcass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no net set. Tha trappers, usually two i'll num- Der, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- gin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows seeing him leave, grow little bolder and approach the bait ill ones and twes, but stop only long enough to get beak- ful of the flesh and fly off again. The earcass where there is no net set is of course the best patronized, but the trap per on the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with. out going to the one where the net is, After awhile their hunger gets the bot. ter of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net is This is the opportunity of the man i'll the bough house, who, with a vigorous pull on 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 crows from crawling out at the ends and the front, where it is not staked fast to the ground. With their hands covered with stout buckskin gloves to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried off the field From 40 to 60 are frequently caught at one pull, but it is a rare thing to get more than two springs of the net in one day. .-Phila. delphia Record.

The End of Roolss.

What brings about the end of books? Is it fire, water, worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the fnis of the book is its reduction to ashes. What be- came of the Alexandrian library? Did the Saracens burn it in GAO? There is this question asked: Was there any li- brary at Alexandria containing TOO, GOO books? Gibbon inelines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been a library it was burned in the time of Ju
 Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was library in the Serapeum, by no means a large coll lection, but whether destroyed by The ophilus or Theodosius is not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Re. cent explorations of Alexandria, 1695-6, 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, to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew.
