A peenllnrltr Of the CROW.

Most birds cannot carry anything
which their mouths are too small to
contain. The crow is an exception al
times. In Vermont, near Manchester,
five crows were seen TO come down
into an apple orchard. They came daily
and after a time the owner discovered
that they were taking apples from a
tree bearing the mellowest fruit. Each
crow jammed its closed bill into an
apple, raised its head and few to a
tall pine tree. where the fruit was eat

that crows viii sometimes carry turkey

How TO learn a Foreign Language.
One may begin the attempts Of free
expression. and thus an independent
use Of the language, with compare
lively small vocabulary Conscientious
reading and well conducted CONVERSE

stress upon the fact that the free and
exact rendering of ones own thought
in writing is the most efficient exercise
In acquiring a language IN mere con

which would gternly demand correc-
tion--and correction, too, easily kept
in mind when the written words look

Delaware Man Furnishes Eggs In Car Load
Lots For City Markets.
H Ridgley Harrington of Dover has
done a large business the past year in sup
plying Delaware eggs for New York,
Philadelphia and New England markets,
shipping them in carload lots at frequent
intervals and creating a demand for. eggs
in Kent and Sussex counties that has
never been known before. While some
of the eggs are delivered in Dover most
Of them are collected by an automobile
service which extends through the two
counties
The eggs are carefully selected and
packed before shipping and the system
which Mr.. Harrington has in force is so
near perfect that the eggs are placed with
customers under a forfeit of a dollar for
every one which is not good. Siegel,
Cooper &Co., r. II. Macy Park & Iiliord
Rikers Drug Co., New York; Hanscom's
in Philadelphia and several firms in New
England are supplied regularly.
Mr. Harrington has leased quarters in

this is considerably below the prices that
have prevailed lately, the announcement
