CONCERNING CROWS.
(Farmcr'ss Fricnd.)

In a conversation a few days since
with Col. T. G.. Walton. who by the way
talks intelligently on any subject. we
learned that crows are a blessing in
stead of Il curse. The Col.
says that he will not allow
his tenants to have a scare
crow in their fields of corn. The pur-
pose of the crow is not to destroy corn. but
worms. and that when they do put up
corn. it will generally be found tina
there is "a worm at the core. He ar

corn they would be worse than an
army with banners, for by their mum
ber> they could lay waste every field
in the land. In view of the fact that
Col. Walton has often taken the prom
ium at different fairs for the largest
yield OF corn per acre. and ut the
Worlds Fair for the best corn. we are
impressed with the force of his argr-
ment in behalf of the cows. We would
like to hear from some of our other
farmers in regard TO this matter.

THE STOCK MARKET WEAK
A Midsummer Dulines IS Settles Down
on Change.
o. REORGANIZATION Commands
Attention.

New York, June 21-What Is commonly
spoken of as midsummer dullness settled
down upon the stock exchange today,
and the dullest day in months was the re-
suit. OF matters bearing upon particular
stocks, the most important was the pro-
mitigation of the preliminary. outlines of
the Baltimore and Ohio reorganization
plan and the announcement that the 49,
100 shares of Western Union heretofore
held by the Baltimore and Ohio Compa-
nv had been sold TO syndicate.
1t is understood that the Western I'm
insurance company, where 1t will proba-
bly, have a permanent iodgment. This
disposition of the stock was properly ac-
counted favorable, and Western Union
was among the firm features of the day 8
market. The price movements in the
days market comprised forenoon de-
cline and later partial recovery.
AT the opening the tone was weak, the
heaviest selling being by houses with
Western connections whose operations
were supposed to represent the after
math of the Letter collapse. The idea is
quite general that the STOCK markets ac-
count with the latter episode is not yet
closed and color is given to this notion by
the continued Western liquidation.
London was not a factor in Importance

AUXILIARY CRUISERS.
The Value of America's VOiuntce


The Value of America's Volunteer
Fleet.
Much interest has been aroused in Rus
sia over the question of auxiliary cruisers,
which has been brought prominently
forward by the Spanish-American war.
Russian naval men are very proud of the
fact that their country practically origi-
mated this system of reinforcing modern
fleets with the indispensable cruiser ele-
ment by establishing the subsidized
volunteer fleet over twenty years ago.
What has been done, both by Spain and
the United States in converting trans
atlantic liners into auxiliary war ships
has set competent Russian thinking as to
the efficiency of their own merchant
cruisers and the result of their medita-
tions is not iattering to themselves.
Thus several articles have appeared in
the Novoe Vremya of late sharply crit
icisng the fitness of the volunteer fleet
vessels, to which the company has made
what is regarded as a lame response.
The conclusion is come to that for naval
purposes the value of the vessels is in
significant, English, French and Ger
man lines receive very modest subsidies,
and comply with very exacting require
mentS. The fastest BRUSH unerS are heId
at the disposal of the. government for a

so constructed that they can convey large
| bodies of troops In twenty-three days tc
Australia and to Bombay in fortnight
! OF the seventeen auxiliary cruisers of the
| German navy nine has speed of twenty
| to twenty-five knots, and seven eighteen
| knots.
The Japanese government is most ex
| acting in its demands upon subsidized
! lines, yet the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has
six fast 5000 ton cruisers available, ant
there will soon be total of twenty-thret
smaller but fast auxiliary cruisers. Last
| ly it is pointed out that the United State:
| has twenty-five fast auxiliaries on thC
| Atlantic and nine on the Pacific.
Such brilliant results obtained at small
cost by the respective governments arr
compared with the poor status of tn,
volunteer fleet which has cost Russi;
enormous sums of money. and which ma

American actresses. For many years
she had been her own manager and met
with great success here and abroad.
Some Of the roles in which she made a
name for herself were Rosalind, Nancy
Skies, Lady Teazle, Fedora, La Tosca
and Cleopatra. Her splendid imper-
sonations made Sardou's dramas popu-
lar with the American people. In 1891,
while Cleopatra was being produced at
the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York,
the theater was burned to the ground
and Miss Davenport experienced a
great loss. The entire production, how
ever, was replaced in three weeks.
As an actress Fanny Davenport was
noted for her strong artistic sincerity
and the intelligence of her vivid dra-
matte style made her particularly eff
fective in roles requiring breadth and
power She was regarded as one OF
the ablest stage managers in this coun-
try. She was twice married. her first
husband being Edwin II. Price, to
whom she was welded in 1879, and her
second, Melbourne Macdonald, who
was her leading man for several years.

The question to what extent the
alkaline earth salts in drinking water
affect the decay carries of teeth has of
late been studied in several quarters.
Statistics have been collected by REESE
in several localities in Bavaria and by
FoerbeTg, in Sweden. These have re-
vealed the interesting fact that the
extent of decaying teeth bears a definite
relation to the hardness of the water;
in other words, to the quantity of cal
cium and magnesium salts in the earth
through which the water passes. The
harder the water the better the teeth
the smaller the quantity Of these salts
the greater the decay of the teeth
