John Wentworth, of Susquehanna
county, Pa. has started a crow hatch
cry. and will make a business of sup
plying big millinery houses with crows
wings and heads. The hatchery is al
present comparatively SMALL as, owing
to the extreme shyness of the birds
Wentworth has succeeded in capturing
and raising only about 200 of them, but
next season he expects to have 1000 on
hand. They will be carefully protected
from hunters and literally fed, so that
they will not be tempted to wander
form home and pillage the cornfields of
farmers in the surrounding country.
Wentworth expects to find ready sale
for his crop at so cents for each head
and % cents for a pair of wings.
The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat wants
every congressional republican con-
vention this year to pass a resolution
in favor of the annexation of Cuba as
soon as the people of the island declare
themselves willing to be annexed.
We are assured by people who as
sumo to be familiar with the various
trade phases that high prices have
come to stay especially in meats,
butter and eggs. They have no doubt
come to stay until the forces of re-
duction, which high prices always

trap that an issue of this kind would
constitute.
The Kansas City Journal alleges
Biblical authority for the declaration
that the good die young. Seth" it says,
lived 912 years. Enos lived COS years,
Cainan lived 90 years. Mahalaleel
lived 9S5 years, Jared lived 962 years,
Methusaleh lived 500 years, and Lee
mach lived III years. OF Enoch, the
only good one in the lot, the chapter
says: And Enoch walked with God,
and he was not, for God took him, and
all the days of Enoch were 365 years.
Being good Enoch lived measly little
period of only 365 years, while the 9TH
ers, being given to sin, lived to grow up
to manhood. 1t always seemed strange
to us that preachers pay SO little atten-
ton to the facts of the Bible"
Queen Wilhelmina's martial and
troubles have awakened a
great deal of long range sympathy in
this country. 1t might afford a more
effective outlet for the sylnpathetically
inclined should they look about for ar,
object in their immediate neighbor-
hood. Sickness and an abusive hus-
band are troubles common to queens
and washerwomen, and the washer.
needs sympathy most.
