CROW WITH VOCABULARY.
Tame Bird in New York Town That Tau<s ns Plainly as Some
 Parrots.

Samuel Seager, of Bolivar, N. Y, has a tame crow named Jim, that can talk a plainly as some parrots. Jim is only 16 months old, but few children of that age can excel him in making remarks, says the New York Tribune. Jim was caught in hollow tree on top of hill near Bolivar. With him was his sister, and both of them were sold into bondage, MT. Seager buying Jim. Now he is so tame that he sits on the piano and criticises when MT. Seager's daughter plays coon songs. Everyone who knows him wishes he could meet Ernest Thomp- son Seton.
 The crow first began to talk last winter. He started in by calling dad" and "boo-booh." Later papa" and .'mamma" were distinctly made out. Now he has advanced so far that when Mir. Seager asks him if he wants his breakfast Jim replies: ''Well, should smile" He also says quite distinctly Good morning" and Good night" He will fly straight to person who asks him if he wants his head scratched, if the person has been for mally introduced to him. Otherwise Jim will cut him dead. He is an inn personator, and can make any school boy answer his whistle.

Something Towering over Jupiter

Something Towering Over Jupiter.
 A discovery of considerable impor- tance in astronomical circles has re gently been made, which is aronsing much interest among astronomers, says the Toronto Globe. The p.aLet Jupiter is the body upon which the discovery has been made. Several pe- culiar pyramid-shaped spots have been observed on Jupiter, and the astron- onners who have been watching them have observed that, as they travel with great velocity toward the object known to astronomers as the Great Red Spot, they disappear and reappear at the other side of the Great Red Spot. This seems te indicate that the Great Red Spot is elevated something which was not known before.

BIBLE FACTS.

The learned prince of Granda, heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order of the crown for fear he should aspire to the throne, was kept ill soli- tary confinement in the old prison at the place of skull, Madrid.

the President, and known as the force bill. was pending before the Senate for consideration, when MT. Calhoun intro duced his resolutions declaratory of his view of the Constitution. MT. Webster, as was naturally to be expected under the circumstances. supported the admin istration. MT. Calhoun, as he himself ex- plained. waited for several days to hear from MT. Webster, but. Mfr. Webster fail ing to take up the discussion. Mir. Cal houn addressed the Senate in opposition to the administration measure. He pur- posely. refrained from anything but a general reference to his resolutions, hold ing himself in reserve to reply to MT Webster. Mir. Webster followed MT Calhoun, and instead of addressing him self to the pending bill. directed his at tention to the resolutions offered by MT. Calhoun. He made his main attack upon what he was pleased to characterize as the unconstitutional phraseology of the resolutions offered by MT. Calhoun, and objected especially to the terms ''consti- tutiona1 compact and 'accede'' which formed the basis of the resolution. Thereupon, Mir. Calhoun arose to speak to his resolutions, and delivered what was characterized at the time, and what MT. Stephens characterizes, as one of the greatest arguments ever delivered in the Senate of the United States. In re- ferring to the terms against which MT. Webster had directed his main attack, he said he had an authority for the use of these terms which he hoped would. com mend itself to the Senator from Massa- chusetts, since his authority was none other than the Senator himself. He then read from former speech of MT. Webster, where MT. Webster said: "I go for the Constitution as 1t is, and as the Union as 1t Is. but am resolved not to submit in silence to accusations either against myself individually or against the Union, wholly unfounded and unjust-ac- cusations which impute to us a disposi- ton to evade the constitutional compact, and to extend the power of the Govern ment over the internal laws and domes- tic concerns of the States"
 He also read from the action taken by the State of Massachusetts in ratifying the Constitution. where the instrument is distinctly referred to and characterized as a solemn compact between the States He discussed with great fullness the Vir. ginia resolutions prepared by MT. Madi- son. who is often spoken of as the father of the Constitution. and the Kentucky resolutions prepared by MT. Jefferson, where the same phraseology is used; and with abundance of authority and conclu- siveness of argument, he showed the propositions asserted in his resolutions were founded in the bed rock of truth.

: part in the debate. You have gotten events confused. MT. Calhoun. 1t is true. was the recognized leader of Southern thought. and represented the highest type of Southern statesmanship, but he had not previously had debate with Mir. Webster touching the great question at issue. In 1883, three years later, he did have a debate with Mir. Webster. in which 1t was MT. Webster. and not Mir. Calhun, who was annihilated."
 You will remember. my friends, that MT. Hayne resigned his seat fin the Sen ate to become Governor of South Caro- lina. and MT. Calhoun was elected as his successor.

The Farm Labor Problem.

The farm labor problem is looming
up, and becoming a frightful specter,
not only at the present, but the future
is greatly obscured by the same un-
seemly ghost. In the west the grain
harvest is the trying time; in the
south it comes twice a year, at cotton
chopping time and at cotton picking
time. Western farmers have had to
pay $1.50 per day and board for har-
vest hands, and hundreds of eastern
college students have spent their sum-
mer vacations in the harvest fields in
stead of on the football field or base
ball diamond. Under present condi-
lions in the south farmers can hardly
afford to pay such prices. 1t is true
hat expert cotton pickers sometimes
earn s1.50 per day picking cotton at
so cents per 100 pounds, but this is
paying by the piece for work actually
done. The only remedy for this con-
dition is better farming, which will en-
able the farmer to pay such wages as
will attract the best class of farm help.
1t can not be done on a cotton and
CORE farm under present conditions. 1t
is only high-class farming that can
pay for the class of labor that makes
high-class farming possible. Therefore
only progress can solves the farm la
Dor question and the farming and the
labor must progress together.-Texas

The many men that rumor said he'd

they are upward held.
From out the stage a female came.

and seized him by the ear!

over the pit a sheet iron cover so as to

fed alone to hogs or mixed in the fol-
lowing way. Six bushels Of corncob
charcoal, eight pounds of salt, two
quarts of air-slaked lime and one
bushel of wood ashes. The charcoal
should be broken up fine and these
substances thoroughly mixed together.
One writer adds to this mixture one
and one-quarter pound of copperas,
which he dissolves in hot water, after

is better, it may be placed where the
hogs may have free access TO 1t at all

The Long Bacon rig.

A Canadian writer on swine says:
Some of us seem to think when we
see a pig STRETCHING out and growing,
and not getting fat, thai it is an ex-
pensive feeder. But this is not neces-
sarily the case. 1t does not Necessarily
cost a CEN more to produce a pound of
gain in a pig of the right bacon type
than it does in any other type. have
tried to prove it, but could not DEM
onstrate that the bacon type of hog
is expensive to feed. | find 1t is an
economical producer of bacon. There
is no proof that it costs more to pro-
duce the bacon hog. If you get the
right type and have a healthy, grow
ing, thrifty pig, that will stretch out
instead of getting fat and dumpy, You
will have a hog that will feed econom-
ically. There may be some difference
in regard to their suitability for pen
feeding and grazing. l think some of
the best grazers are the American
breeds, and possibly the Berkshires.

NEcKwEAR FOR AUTUMN.


Never has more attention been paid to
the dressing of the neck by maid and
matron than at the present time. and
never have there been greater opportu-
mites for the selection of becoming
styles than in this year OF grace. II
it be the strictly tailored. mannish type
of collar or scarf that is demanded. the
dainty, frilly fascinating stock or cape
or the immense array of simple pretty
styles midway between these two ex-
tremes, and from which the majority
OF women make their choice. all tastes
can be thoroughly satisfied with the out
put for this and the coming season.
II the spring and summer styles were
attractive and delightful enough totempt
the average woman INTO extravaganza,
and make her sigh for an unlimited bank
account, the fall productions are even
more fascinating. for the good points
of their predecessors have all been re-
tanned and some extra little touches add
ed that give a distinctive and altogether
alluring air. Some exceedingly pretty
novelties have been brought outin stocks
showing rancy lace-like weaves and EN-
~broidered effects. Macrame is intro
duced to give the note Of novelty, the
stock itself In most instances being quite
simple and plain, with a fancy tab in
front edged with macrame and possibly
a tiny tassel in addition. The tassel is
the dominant new note in the fall neck

ut is well known that the Portsmouth
railroad has to turn everything to ac-
count to pay running expenses, and
many are the jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors in reference to
their shifts to get a living. 1t is said
that one of them last year was aceus-

and peddle them out on the way to Con-
cord.
