ONLY A SMALL MISTAKE.
Experience With q Dentist in the

High prices in frontier towns was
the subject under discussion at an up

the following story:

money for trfles, and So for box OF
Sardines or $5 for pound of bad
coffee become reasonable prices.

Midalr Conflict In Which Numbers
vanqulsh and Kill the Prowler.
Druid Hill Park, near Superintend-
ent Cassell's residence, was the scene
ON Sunday of one Of the fiercest bat
ties ever fought between crows on
the one side and a large chicken hawk
on the other, and, perhaps, the only
battle of its kind in which the hawk
suffered defeat, says the Baltimore
sun.
1t is q well-known fact that the re-
lations between hawks and crows have
been strained perhaps since creation,
hawks neglecting no opportunity to
destroy young crows before they leave
the nests. Representatives OF the two
species of birds rarely meet without
battle. They usually fight in midair.
This is no doubt the reason why the
hawk has won SO many victories.
Fully twelve or fifteen crows took
part in Sundays battle. The hawk
was attacked in midair while hover
ing over a crows nest. The onslaught
made him furious and he retaliated
by swooping down on the tree in
WHICH tHe nest WAS DHiil. 1 ne CROWS
were determined to drive off the en-
emy and made systematic and con
certed onslaught on the intruder.
First one and then another would
drive at him and in I; short time the
ground under the tree was strewn
with feathers.
The hawk fought with bill and
claws, while the crows used only their
bills. The fight became so hot that
the hawk was compelled to leave the
tree and, being too exhausted to fly,
sank to the ground. There he made
a final stand and the battle was an
interesting one, passengers on the
Emory Grove cars being among the
spectators. First one crow and then
another would give the hawk a dig
with it's bill and then jump back to
escape the savage plunges of the
hawk.
The hawk fought as long as he could
stand on his feet. Even while lying
on his side or back he kept up the
struggle. The crows. however, were
relentless, and kept on pecking away
until their adversary fell dead. They
then flew off a considerable distance
and patched up their cuts and bruises
as best they could. Not a single one
of their number was killed.

But the Jersey Girls Found Way and

Some OF the young folks of Newark
have a way of staying so late at Coney

Evidences of Death.

The following have been suggested
as methods of deciding whether death
has occurred:
Tie a string firmly about the finger.
If the end of the finger becomes
swollen and red, life is not extinct.
Insert a bright steel needle into
the flesh. If it furnishes by oxidation
in the course of han an hour, life may
be considered not extinct.
Inject a few drops OF liquor ammo
MAE under the skin. During life a
deep red purple spot is formed
Moisten the eye with atropine Dur
ing life the pupil will dilate.
Look at a bright light or at the sun,
through the fingers held closely side
by side. During life the color is pink,
after death a dull white.
After death dark spot is said to
form gradually on the outer side of
the white OF the eye. from drying of
the surface, so that the dark chord
shows through.
Putrefaction is an absolute sign of
death. Better delay for it than run
any risk of burying alive.

| no doubt. with his prowess. The next
day the baiiitf seized on the hotel for
| debt and all the guests were re-
| duested to pay their bills and take
away their luggage. Labonchere could
not pay and could not. therefore, take
away his luggage. All he could do
was to write TO WaShin gton for a re-
mittance and wait two days for its
arrival. The first day he walked about
and spent his half dollar on food. 1t
was summer and he slept on bench
on the common. In the morning lie
went to the hay to have wash, inda-
pendent of all the cares and troubles
Of civilization. But he had nothing
with which to b1y himself a break
fast. Toward evening he grew very
hungry and entered n restaurant and
ordered dinner without any clear
idea of how he was to pay the bill
except to leave his coat in pledge.
And here comes in an example OF
young LabouchereS luck. tempered by
ready wit. AS. the hungry and for
the time being penniless attache ate
his dinner he observed that all the
walters were 1rishmen and that they
not only continually stared at him,
but were evidently discussing him
with one another A guilty conscience
induced him to think that this was be-
cause of his impecunious appearance
and that they We're making calcula-
tions as to the value of his clothes.
At last one of them approached their
anxious customer and in a low voice
said: Il beg your pardon, sir. Are
you the patriot Meagher?' Now this
patriot was a gentleman who had
aided Smith O'Brien in his Irish rising
and had been sent to Australia, and
had escaped thence to the United
States.
1T was my business to look after
patriots" said Labouchere. telling me
the story, so ] put my finger before
my lips and said 'Hush!' at the same
time casting my eyes up to the ceiling
as though | saw vision Of Erin beck

The proprietor, also an Irishman, said,

fered in the good cause l can take no

shake hands with you l allowed
him" He further allowed the walters
to shake hands with him and then
stalked forth with the stern, resolved,
but somewhat condescending air
which he had seen assumed by pa
triots in exile. Again he slept on the
common: again he washed in the bay.
Then he went to the postofiice, got his
