THE CRESCENT CRY News,

Mayor Sprague has determined to
put stop to boys carrying small
calibre target rifles in the town lin
It's. The recent rifle practice at the
school house, wherein the doors and
windows were used for purposes of a
mark, together with other equally
brilliant feats of criminal marks
manship has been the determining
cause. 1t has been said that what
is criminal in man may be but mis-
chief in a boyn but nevertheless
there comes a time when even mis-
chievousness may become weari-
some, and a halt have to be called
in the interests of the future of the
boy. That time has evidently ar
rived.
Congregational singing has been
introduced in the Presbyterian
church in the hope that all the peo-
pie will join in the singing. Mr..
Cone, who has had charge of the
choir for long time, says he feels re-
tieved; that he can now get down in
to pew and look the pastor in the
face during the sermon. The attend
ance at the Sunday service at this
church has been growing steadily
and DIR Reeves, the scholarly pastor,
is more strongly entrenched than
ever in the hearts of the people. The
Sunday school has also shown some
considerable gain in attendance,
probably owing to the fact that it is
now the only Sunday school.

why "JOe" Wheeler Wiggled.

Gen. Wheeler was anxious to get in
to the fight, if there was to be one.

1861 to 1865, and he should stay at

And then the old warrior did wiggle

A writer in the Boston Transcript,
describing Scrub Oaks" a settle

the death of one of the residents and
the efforts Of frank spoken preach

After the reading OF a portion OF
scripture and the making of pray

mon began, in which attention was
called to the ungodly lives of the
Scrub Oakersn in general, and the
deceased in particular, with the
starting conclusion. 'And have no

Art In TeIiina llea

Telling the truth is an art, but
not.ne.rly SO difficult an art as tell
ing hes. It is within reach of any
mans power, if he will take time
and pains, to relate the thing that
is. It takes q man Of imagination
and strong memory to bring forth
the thing that is not. Besides, the
liar cannot carry his lie all over the
world and back to the creation. At
some point OF other he must piece it
on to the universal truth, and to do
that neatly he must be good work.
man. But this is only part of the
greater question as to vice and vir-
tue generally. Virtue is for all who
love it. In order to become an ac-
conplished villain man must have
natural aptitude, careful training
and immense powers of application,
and at any time the villain may be
ruined as villain by the unexpect-
ed coming to life Of conscience

MONKEYS ARE DANGEROUS.
IN Spite Of Apparent Friendliness.
Thev Are Tre..h.-e..a

They Are Tresshsrovs.
Monkeys are not classed as SAVAGE
animals, but nevertheless the keen
ers OF the zoo are as chary of enter
ing q monkey cage as they are Of go
ing into the domicile of the Ieopards
or any Of the smaller speciea of the
cat tribe. The monks" in spite of
their apparent friendliness are O
treacherous crew, and many an un-
wary keeper has nursed painful
wounds as result of boldly ventur-
ing into the apartments allotted to
the simians.
A little precautionary action is
necessary to protect even the man
who feeds them should he have oc-
casion to enter the dens. The mon
keys will concertedly attack any .one
who ventures among them and by
force Of numbers will endanger the
life of the bold visitor.
Whenever a keeper desires to 90
among the animals he first gives ut
terance to kissing sound. The
neredltary enemy OF the monk" is
the snake, and at the first hiss the
little animals will scale the heights
OF the cage in terror. By a judicious
use of the awe inspiring sound the
attendant can keep the monkeys
out Of the way for brief period.
When a long stay in the cage is nee
essary, the keeper generally borfows
bull snake, q harmless but formi-
dable looking variety, from the rep
tile house, and with this coiled
about his waist is safe from any
covert attack while at work.-Phil-

Mon and Legs.

Two men were looking over some
steel engravings in an Uptown shop
the other day with view to pur-
chase. A portrait of Lincoln sug-
gested to one Of them this story of
Honest Abe, which the narrator
says he had from his father:
Lincoln and his cabinet were in
session; but, as he had anticipated
no discussions of Importance, the
president left word that he would
receive cards. AS he supposed, the
meeting was wholly social.
While they were gathered about
the table servant brought jim two
cards, and Lincoln commanded that
the callers be admitted. When they
appeared, he found one to be a tall,
spare man, the other one much un-
dersized. After q moments chat
they retired.
"There is remarkable instance
OF the providence of the Creator" !"
remarked Lincoln impressively as
he turned again to. his ministers.
"There are two men. God has Civ
en- one man extraordinarily long
legs and the other extraordinarily
short legs, yet he has made the legs

A Cat and a Mirror.

A man who. owns a remarkably
fine cat gave this illustration of its
wonderful intelligence:
He put the cat on a table in front
of small glass. It's first manifes-
tation after it saw its reflection was
Of surprise. 1t s:ared at it for mo-
ment and then went behind the
glass, evidently to find the other
cat. Then It returned to its seat in
front and looked attentively for a
minute or two ut the image. Sud-
denly it darted around the glass,
but, finding no cat there, returned
t. the front again.
Keeping its eyes fixed steadily on
its image, it began feeling behind
the glass with its paw, first in one
direction and then in another. See
ing the paw of the image on the
glass move just as its own did, it
was evidently about concluding that
the image was its own, and it then
began various movements to fully
satisfy itself. It raised one paw and
then the other, licked them and
touched the glass with them and
moved its head about. Satisfied ap-
parently that it had solved the mys-
terry, it presently walked calmly

Tho Evolution Of the Sword.

As men in early times fought
hand to hand, the oldest specimens
of the sword are short. In fact, the
sword is probably but an evolution
of the club, which, at first made of
hardwood, was gradually sharpened
on one and then on both sides, 30 as
to infict more deadly wound.
Wood gave way to stone, which in
turn was displaced by bronze, iron
and finally steel.
The sword increased in length as
men became more civilized and
showed a disposition to fight farther
away from each other, which re-
quired more dexterity in the use of
the weapon. Some specimens we
have of swords of the middle ages
are almost if not quite as long as
the warriors who welded them.
During the fifteenth century the sci
ence of fencing was invented, when
the sword in the form Of rapier
reached the highest point Of deyel-
opment.
