Fear American competltlon

Ex-senator w. d. Washburn of Min
neapolis, prior to sailing for home on
the American Line steamer st. Louis.
said that he had found considerable
uneasiness among the bankers and
manufacturers of the Continent con-
corning American competition.
They perceive he added, that we
are Just getting ready, and in no re-
spect is it likely that they can beat us
in the future. How long can Europe
stand to pay a balance of trade of
S65O,OOO,O00 year after all our secur-
tiles are sent back? Some able con.
tinental observers to whom | put the
inquiry were unable to answer. They
fear us"
Commenting on the fantastic idea
of commercial bond of the European
nations against the United States, -
The Outlook says
One might as well try to hang a
Venetian blind over the sun as to try
to exclude the influence of American
industries from the world. For one
thing, Great Britain would be no party
to the bond. For another power
American reprisals would be terrible.
Even now Germany is on the verge of
a struggle between classes, caused by
the proposed tariff. Under the Ger.
man tariff Austria would suffer griev.
ously. 1t is not easy to see how
countries which are at issue with
themselves and each other and whose
fiscal arrangements excite class
against class could agree on a policy
against common competitor.

Birds Dress their own Wounds.
[From the Toledo (O) Blade.

IRON tne lOledO (O.) Blade.
There are not a few birds that pos
sess a knowledge of the principles Of
surgery that is not far from the SUPER
natural. The woodcock. the partridge
and some other birds are able to dress
their wounds with considerable skill.
French naturalist says that on
several occasions he has killed wood
cock that We're, when shot convalesc-
cling from wounds previously received.
In every instance he found the old in
jury neatly dressed with down plucked
from the stem of feathers and skill
fully arranged over the wound, evil
IDENTIFY by the long beak of the bird.
In some instances a solid plaster was
thus formed, and in others ligatures
had been applied to wounded or brok-
en- limbs.
One day he killed a bird that evil
IDENTIFY lad been severely wounded at
some recent period. The wound was
covered and protected by a sort of
network of feathers. which had been
plucked by the bird from its own body
and so arranged as to form a plaster,
completely covering and protecting
the wounded surface. 1t had evident
ly acted as hemostatic in the first
place, and subsequently as a shield
covering the wound. The feathers
were fairly netted together, passing
alternately under and above each
other, and forming a textile fabric of
great protective power.
Birds are often found whose limbs
have been broken by shot. with the
fractured ends neatly joined and
ligated, NJ. Dumonteil tells of a wood
cock that had been shot by a sports
man on the afternoon of a certain
day After a long search the bird was
given up. but it was discovered the
next morning by an accident. In the
meantime the wounded legs were
found to be neatly ligated, an eX-
quisitely neat bandage having been
placed around each limb. The poor
/ bird, however, had, in dressing its
wound, entangled its beak with some
long, soft feathers, and had it not been
discovered it would have died of star.

Mrs. Byron of Roxbury was Poisoned

DR., II. Carlton Smith, chemist in the
pathological department of the Harvard
medical school, to whom was submitted
for analysis the stomach of Mrs. Leora-
die Byron of Roxbury, n. H., who died
mysteriously the 9Th, has reported
through Coroner Wellington the finding
of morphine. He also reported that the
white powder found in the sugar-bowl
was sulphate of morphine. The adjourn
ed sitting of the coroner's jury was held
yesterday afternoon, and Joseph Byron,
son of the dead woman, with whom she
lived, was again examined. Nothing of
a positive character throwing light on
the mystery was developed, and the jury
returned a verdict of death due to poi
sonous morphine taken in sugar by Mrs.
Byron for the purpose of sweetening
her tea, and placed in the sugar-bowi
by parties unknown 10 the jury.

A Poor Advertisement.
From the Bennington Banner. ]

One of our exchanges gives voice to
this plant, which is a repetition of a
song we have heard nearer home:
Some weeks ago we started a stove
voting contest for the benefit of our
readers, and but little interest has
thus far been shown by those who
should have been interested. Not
enough names or votes have thus far
been entered to warrant us continuing
the contest, and if more are not pre-
scented before another week, the con-
test will be brought to a close" Why
not put into the editorial and local
columns the energy expended in "vot-
ing contests" and let hardware men
sell stoves, and other lines of mer-
chandise each its own commodity? 1t
is pretty sure sign that schemes like
the one friend is about to give up
denotes struggling to live" which
is poor advertisement to place before
subscribers.

One fool, hwo rocked the boat and
caused the death of a young woman
who was drowned when the craft was
capsized, has been indicted at Hagars-
town, Md, the grand jury declaring
that her death was due to his criminal
carelessness, and that he "willfully
and feloniously did kill and murder"
The body of an unknown man, about
80 years of age, with brown hair and
smoothly shaven face, was found at
the Lake Pleasant crossing on the
Boston and Maine road Tuesday about
o'clock. Every vestige of clothing
was torn off, and parts of his raiment
and body were scattered O. distance of
nearly mile. There were found a col
lar button and rosary beads. From
pieces of his clothing it was seen that
ne was attired in a coat such as
cyclists wear, but had ordinary long
trousers. He was evidently struck by

mat little was left. Medical Exam
