The Rev. Clevenger located at Copper Center, is doing good work among the natives. He loses no opportunity to teach them on all subjects. A few days. ago he brought them into the government farm to show them how to raise turnips. They ate of them and liked them, and have taken very kindly to the business; so much so in fact that they take every opportunity to raise turnips, and in a very short time the farmer will have none left. They are apt pupils.

A naturalist who is much interested
in birds says that the crow is the wis
est of all feathered animals. He has
ly.. and declares that an ordinarily well
educated crow can count to twenty, and
that he has found a sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to
twenty-six. He made these discoveries
in a very interesting way. Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
Of Wales, where a company Of boys
was camping out One day he found
a flock of crows gathered round the
body OF a sheep that had died, and
which lay near barn. They flew
away as he approached, so he hid him
self In the barn and waited but they
would not come back. Then he went
out and walked up the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
That afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
OlneI lWO went Jul, onu onAJ eAo ne>e
raliet remained. But the old sentinel
crew had evidently counted them as
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out. At last the natural
lit left the building and straightway
all the crows returned. This expert
ment was repeated a number OF times
with varying numbers Of boys, but the
crows kept count, and would not come
down until the building was entirely
empty.

Probably it is true that some men
have by nature peculiar power over
wild animals, and it is matter Of COM
mon experience that animals sometimes
strike up sudden friendships with per-
sons they have never seen before. An
extreme instance of this kind Is de-
scribed by military correspondent of
the New York Sun: Perhaps of all the
wild animals that may be at least par
TALLY civilized or tanned, the Rocky
Mountain lion or catamount offers the
least promise; and yet in the writer's
experience one specimen was as gentle
and docile as human kindness could
make him. He followed his master
around like dog, obeying every wish
or nod, but would allow no other per-
sons to approach him with offers Of
kindness or anything else. This crea-
ture was a full grown mountain lion,
that for some strange reason had taken
a fancy to a Cheyenne Indian Wheth-
er in camp, on the prairie, or in the
post, the brute could always be- seen
quietly following the Indian, but he

for any reason except at his masters
bidding. Often would he accompany
the buck ! he post traders store,
where his lnce was the signal for
all dogs to- t out and for bipeds not
acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to the counters. The
officers of the post finally persuaded
the Indian to part with his pet for
consideration, and the lion, after being
securely Gagged, was shipped as pres
ent to the National Museum at Wash
ington."

The editor of the humane sheet, al

DANGER FROM cows.
oovIne tuberculosis Pronounced
Worst Form Of Disease.


The American Public Health asso-
citation, at Washington, Wednesday,
considered the subject of infection OF
human beings with animal tubercu.o-
sis, and listened to several papers re-
lating to the collection and disposal CT
public garbage. In discussing the for
mer subject, DR.. M. P. Ravenol OF
philadelphia took up the question OF
tuberculosis bearing on its transmits
sion from man to animals and from
animals to man. as well as actual inoc
ulation. He regretted the disfnclina-
ton of federal and state authorities to
permit criminals condemned to death
to be inoculated with the tuberculosis
germ In the interests Of science
He said he was sure that a man con
demned to death would most Willingly
take his chances of contracting tuber-
culosis as against execution. He en-
phatically controverted the common
theory that dry sputum Is the underly-
ing cause Of tubercular infection. and
said that there Is absolutely not one
whit of evidence that it ever caused a
single case Of tuberculosis in mankind
He produced numerous statistics show
ing bovine tubercular infection OF hui
man beings. and said that the bovine
tubercular bacillus Is extremely more
viruent than that Of human being.
He concluded by strongly urging that
every precaution should be taken by
the association as sanitarians for the
protection Of the food supply as de-
rived from cattle.

made Wednesday by the Halifax

what it claims to be unanimous dis
satisfaction of Canadians at the &C

that they fly at speed beyond their or

way with Holman, of Indiana, whose per-
sistent reiteration of the simple words,

the Great Director" Holman, during
the course of a long career in the house,
prevented the passage of more appropria-
lions than any other man before or since
and it is doubtful whether even an In

record; but Representative Hemenway-
that is the mans of the man selected by

far bigger bills in the aggregate than Hol-
man ever dreamed of.
Holman has been dead now nearly ten
years, after serving in the house of rep
resentatives for over 80 years. He lived
long enough to see the direful day on
which the appropriations of the govern
ment crossed the line that justified the
appeliation of the billion dollar con-
gress."
That was crushing enough for him;
but his successor. Hemenway, is likely to
stay in congress long enough to see ap-
preparations run to the magnificent total
of a billion dollars year, so rapid has
been the march of progress and so inces-
cant is the demand for money to keep the
machinery of the government in motion.
