The raven of southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica, offer
amusing proof of this.
A youth whom l employed to carry
my camera could neve look on ravens
with any equanimity. for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish i'm
pudence when sent to the bush to
gather tirewoOd.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, a
loaf of bread wrapped in a napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid it and had turn
ed his back for only a minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on a day
when he vas out gathering wood. AS
he was STOPPING down to bind a bun
die of fagots a raven suddenly swoop-
ed from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and few away with 1t to a lofty
crag, from which she uttered -croaks
of triumph. Jrs-
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for a nest.

A pair of intelligent horses attracted
the attention of a large crowd on Mas

They were attached to a heavily load

grade between Cedar street and Maid

wagon with a noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for II o'clock. Suddenly the
horses drew in toward the curb. and
began to plant their hind feet well for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and then at the driver, who
had a broad grin on his face. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his anil
mails. One of them Immediately be-

Policy 20 Tie To,

With some recent comments by the
Commercial on the American Silk In
dustrv as a text the Troy Times reads
a wholesale-some and timely session
to those free traders-the whole un
American pack-who for airs offered
the most stubborn organized resist
ance to every effort of American
manufacturers TO foster tie silk IL
dustry here at home. They fought
10 let foreign silks in free of duty,
and sneered at all our carly expert
ments III silk-making. Why at
tempt the impossible?' was the argu-
ment OF the fTeetrader.
. 'tWby protect an industry that can
never amount to anything anyway?
All really good silks must be imported
and no self-respecting woman
would wear an American product. -
"Bat, says the Times, 1.-THE
American silk manufacturers went
right along and good protectionists
saw to it that encouragement was
given to the industry. 1t has won its
way to success, repeating the history
o American knit goods, hosiery,
steel rails, tinplate ana scores of
other commodities that we now make
better and at less cost to the consum-
ers than the same articles produced
abroad. American silk has come TO
stay.
Yes, and before many years we may
be producing every pound of the raw
material that our silk mills can
weavs and sell.
Aud it is PECULIARLY instructive, just
at this time, TO reflect that, had we
ever surrendered to this f1ee.trade
sentiment, the United States would
now be industrially just where it was
toward the close of the eighteenth
century, great importing nation de-
pendant upon the old world for
practically everything manufactured
that Is consumed.
1t we surrender now 10 that senti-
ment, we shall regret it, just as surely
as Protection has built us up into the
greatest commercial cou ntry in the
world Our industrial enemies athome
are still in the saddle New York
