THE CROWS AND THE BALL.

An 7nvincible Egg That Baficd All
Their Attacks.
During piazza game of ping-pong
one of the balls was sent quite dis
tance ont over the lawn, where crow
seized ii and bore it off in triumph
evidently thinkingit was an egg After
much pecking, from all of which the
irolicsome little ball bounced away un-
broken, the crow had an excited con-
sultation with several of his fellows
and then deliberately carried the ball
to the top OF high tree and let il drop
Again the assembly of black feathered
eXperimcnterS gathered around in
amaZement. Was there ever such a
remarkable egg? 1t had fallen from
height that played havoc with their
eggs and their little ones as well and
yet survived intact! Then one after
another tramped on ii, cawing loudly
all the while
At last, in sheer exhaustion and dis
gust, they all gave it UP. flew to the
top OF their favorite tree. and, still
cawing loudly. watched one of the
pinS-pong players came out from the
house and carry off the invincible egg
that had bafiled their boldest attacks
