THE EQUIPMENT
In a School is as Necessary as Tools
 in Work.

AA WVA2s
 Not many of our female colleges fur nish equipment for college work because of the expense and labor involved. Lack of suitable equipment Is perhaps the chief defect in Southern schools. Recognizing this fact, the Southern Female College at College Park, near Atlanta, has sought to provide the necessary appliances of instruction.
 This institution at present has library of about 1000 selected volumes. museum of about 1000 specimens, apparatus for physics, a six-inch telescope, laboratories for general and analytical chemistry, an arboretum, art studios supplied with casts and models, forty-six pianos lately pur- chased, pipe organ, and orchestral set oe instruments and gymnasium.
 The dormitory is provided with eleva- tor, steam heat, hot and cold water on every floor, baths, tower clock, and i'm firmary.
 The college, moreover. has a faculty who can use the academic equipment to best advantage. For catalogue, address Charles c. Cox. College Park. Ga.

The publication of the order of the Commission in yesterdays Advertiser as to the matter of the Alabama Car Ser vice Association for the reduction of the free time, it was made to appear that the penalty upon railroads for failing to deliver cars did not apply to the city of Mobile. This rule does apply to the city of Mobile, and to the entire State of Ala bama, but Mobile is excepted from the general rule, making a reduction of the free time for the delivery of cars to con- signees, for the reason that Mobile has a special rule which was made necessary by reason of the large shipments by water from that point.

Susquehanna, Dec. 21.-For weeks
past crows, to the number estima ted
at 1000, have swarmed in a mountain
above Gulf Summit, feeding in the
barnyards along the river in the day
time and collecting at night in the
trees on the top of the mountain. About
dusk these birds gather in from the
surrounding country in myriads, and
the noise they make by their shrill
'caw! caw!" Is almost deafening. Fre-
puently they alight in such vast num-
bers on the trees that large limbs are
broken under their weight. On Satur-
day black cloud of these birds was
crossing the Erie tracks when the
smoke of passing engine blinded
them. They flew against the sides of
the swiftly moving cars and parties
VINO watched the strange scene, count
ed nearly 200 that had met death. A
party OF Deposit hunters armed them
selves with shotguns, a few days ago,
with the aVowed intention of Kidding
The roost of the shiny, black horde. Six
of them shot and killed 175 crows in
less than two hours, but at the end of
that time the diminution OF the birds
was not noticeable, ard the hunters left
the mountain in disgust. During the
recent blizzard the birds. maddened by
hunger, attacked cattle and sheep in
the barnyards and were driven away
with difficulty. The horse OF a Homes
dale peddler was recently attacked on
the highway, near State Line, by a
large number of the birds The peddler
saved his steed by furious driving, and
by throwing bundle of sheepskins off
his sleigh to appease the hunger of the
black horde.
