Corn stenIinR Crows.

The following clever way of keeping
crows away from q cornfield is used by
the Dutch farmers and is practiced to
a certain extent in the eastern districts
of this country:
The farmer makes some small caps
of stout paper and smears around the
inner side of the mouth of such some
bird lime or other sticky stuff. In these
ne puts some grains or corn ana status
them about his fields by pressing their
points into soft earth.
When the crow finds one of these pa
per caps, he thinks himself very fortu-
nate until he attempts to peck at the
tempting grain, when, to his astonish-
ment, he finds the cap attached to his
head, a regular fools cap, which will
not even allow him to see what course
to take if he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his head out of this I'M
desirable cap, but ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Bones In the Human Body.

Here are some rhymes which may
help you to remember the number and
location of the bones in the human
body. Strange as it may seem, au-
thorities do not agree as to how many
actual bones are comprised in the skel-
eton, but 214, not including the teeth,
seems to cover the group pretty thor
oughly. After hard days romp in
the woods or a long ride on the bicycle
one might be inclined to think that the
number is even larger. The verses are
as follows:
How many bones in the human face?
Fourteen when they are all in place.
How many bones in the Uranium?
Eight. unless you've mislaid some.
How many bones in the ears are found?
Three in each to catch the sound.
How many bones are in the spinner
Twenty-four. like clustering vine.
How many bones in the chest are foundf
Twenty-four ribs, to the sternum bound
How many bones in the shoulder bindT
Two in each-one before, one behind
How many bones are IN the arm?
The top has one; two in the forearm.
How many bones are in the wrist?
Eight If none of them is missed.
How many bones in the palm OF the hano1
Five In the palm. pray understand.
How many bones in the fingers tenn
Twelve bones plus two and repeat again
How many bones are In the mp
One in each where the fenurs slip.
With sacrum and coccyx, too, to brace
And keep the pelvis all in place.
How many bones are in the thigh?
One in EACH and deep they lie.
How many bones are in the knee2
One the patella, plain to see
How many bones are in the shin?
Two in each and well bound In.
How many bores in the ankle strong7
Seven in each, but none is long.
How MANY bones in the ball or the fOOII
Five In each, as the palms were put
How many bones in the toes. all told?
Just twenty-eight. like the fingers hold.
There's a bone at the root of the tongue
to add.
And sesamoids eight, to what you've had.
Now, adding them ALL tits plainly seen
That the total number is PA,
And in the mouth we clearly view
Teeth, upper and under, thirty-two.
