Crows as Pets.

AFit NOA NNNA Ohfii q AlOn
II not you have missed more than
cart load of innocent fun | have
owned all sorts of pets in my life,
from pet beetles to coons, dogs and
deer, but none gave the all round
satisfaction of the crow.
II is hardy, full Of the iolliest OF
tricks, is as affectionate and loyal as
a dog, as comical as clown, and
almost as intelligent as a boy. A
pet crow knows its friends and enc.
mics and will allow no liberties
from a stranger. OF course, a crows
honesty is no better than that of a
pack rat, but my crow never stole
from me, and somehow OF other one
finds it easy to forgive a thief who
only steals from others.
When we dug up our flower bed
in the early spring there were no
less than seven silver thimbles un.
earthed, and not one OF the lot came
from our house. One day Billy
brought me a nice two-dollar green
back In those days a two.dollar
bill was very. very large amount
10 me, and stood for an unheard of
amount Of butter scotch and ginger
bread
OF course the money did not
belong 10 me. but neither did it
belong 10 the crow, and Billy
would not tell where he got his
wealth, so after a consultation with
my parents and my teacher, and
after waiting TO see il anyone
claimed the bill; il was at length
decided to be my property, and it
was the first two dollars ever had
all in heap.
But il was not always money the
crow found; once he filed all the
crevices in my mothers bed with
liver; this could not be seen and at
tracted no attention until the sum.
mer heat began 10 act upon il. then
everybody in the house knew that
something had happened. The old
folks said a rat must have died in
the partition, but the crow and !
were chums aud understood each
other suspected the real cause OF
the disagreeable odor, and as soon
as the coast was clear, discovered
and removed the liver, and never
until this day did give the crow
away Dan Beard aud His Boys in

The kItehsa Sink.
Whether a kitchen sink be IRON,
enamel or stone. it should stand on
four legs, with all its drain pipes
10 full view. A very clever
once said, "If am called
in TO case Of diptheria, the first
thing | look at is the common sink.
The danger arising from a badly
kept sink cannot be exaggerated, nor
can any degree Of care in avoiding
il be considered extreme. The
waste pipe from a kitchen sink
should have boiling water and am
monis or washing soda poured down
il each day AT least once a week il
should be treated TO dose of some
good disinfsctant, such as cloride of
lime. This old stand by IL very in

nothing. so that it is certain that
young Satire did not pass out that
way His window was open. and there
is a stout ivy plant leading to the
ground. We could trace no footmarks

only possible exit.
His absence was discovered at Z
O'Clock on Tuesday morning. His bed
had been slept in. He had dressed
himself fully before going off. in his
usual school suit of black Elton jacket
and dark gray trousers. There We're
no signs that anyone had entered the
room, and it is quite certain that any
thing in the nature of cries or a strug-
gle would have been heard. since
Caunter, the elder boy in the inner

When Lord SaItire's disappearance
was discovered. I at once called a roll
OF the whole establishment-boys mas
terS and servants 1t was then that we
ascertained that Lord Satire had not
been alone in his flight. Heidegger.
the German master, was missing. His
room was on the second floor. at the
farther end Of the building, facing the
same way as Lord Saltire's. His bed
had also been slept in, but he had ap-
parently gone away partly dressed,
since his shirt and socks We're lying on
the floor. He had undoubtedly let him
self down by the ivy, for we could see

Not % Rad as Reported.

To the Patrons of Crowley Ridge Inst : ute:
 In view of the fact that some Of the pa- irons of the school have withdrawn their children, and others are considering doing so, on account Of the reported unsanitary condition of the building, we will say that we have visited the school, and after a personal examination, it is our opinion that the reports have been greatly exagger ated. We did not ind conditions anything like as bad as we apprehended from the reports that have been circulated, and we consider it altogether unnecessary for pa rents to withdraw their children from school at this time.
 It i5 true that conditions are not as sat isfactery as they might be, but this is largely due to the failure Of the ianitor to properly discharge his duties. We re- spectfully submit that the Principal and School Board should give this matter their prompt attention and insist on better ser vice from the janitor
