Cormorants.

Cormorants are far the largest and
most striking in appearance Of the
common English sea fowl. A male
cormorant is yard long and very
strong and heavy, and, though more
quaint than beautiful, whether flying,
diving or sitting on the rocks or, buoys,
1t Is a far more interesting creature
than the sea gull, wonderful instance
of adaptation of form to special needs
and Of permanence of type enduring
from remote ages, for the fossil cor
morant hardly differs from those which
are now fishing from the cliffs in which
their petrified ancestors are imbedded.
Our common great black cormorant'
is not only the most representative
type of his family, but link with the
inhabitants Of the shallow seas Of both
the old and new worlds. He Is found
throughout Europe, in north Africa,
Egypt and the greater part Of Asia, In
eastern North America and, little
changed by distance, in New Zealand
and Australia. Lastly, he is the only
bird, except the hawks and falcons
which Is trained to assist man in the
capture of living prey, and in this vo
cation he Is of all birds, by sense, mem
ory and affection, incomparably th'
best.-London Spectator.

Mark Twain's Ant,

"Mark Twain In one of his amusing
books of travel attacks the ant" said
nature student. HE ridicules the
idea that the ant is industrious and
wise. He devotes three or four pages
to an account of an ant making its
way homeward with burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
instead of going round them, doing a
hundred silly things, taking in every
case the long and foolish instead of the
short and sensible way home. And
hence, naturally enough, he concludes
that the ants wise industry is over
rated-naturally enough, say, Mark
Twain's ignorance being granted, for
he was unaware when he wrote that
long and interesting passage that many
kinds of ants are blind. He did not
for all his close observation, take up
his little ant subject, look for Its eye
sockets and find them absent 1t was
q blind ant Mark Twain studied, and
he didn't know it."-Cincinnat En-

st. Louis, May 22.-on Wednesday
afternoon some remarkable demon
strations were given in public by T.
l.. Cooper, or the "Great Cooper" as
he is called, who is introducing for
the first time in st. Louis the prep
arations which created a sensation in
eastern cities.
The demonstrations took place at
Mr.. Cooper's headquarters and were
witnessed by several hundred people.
As nearly as could be learned the
facts were these:
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon the
young man agreed to show what one
of his remedies would do for deaf
ness, and agreed to make any one
present who was afflicted with deaf
ness hear again in less than three
minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
ent snd about a dozen of these were
given the demonstration, consisting of
a single application of the Cooper
preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then tested after an interval of be-
tween two and three minutes. The
test consisted of questions put to them
in an ordinary conversational tone
at distances varying from five to 80
feet.
The results were remarkable in
the extreme. Some of these people
who were treated had been deaf for
a number of years. When the first
question was asked q look of amaze
ment would spread over their faces
and they would forget to answer the
question. AS the questions were re-
peated the surprised look would give
way to one of delight. Many were so
affected that they burst into tears
and were scarcely able to answer the
question.
In no single instance, so far as
could be learned would an individual
fail to hear. Many were able to hear
a finger snap at distance of 80 feet
At the request of Mr.. Cooper ques-
tions were put to them by their
friends or by various spectators in an
ordinary tone of voice and the ques-
tions were readily answered.
In giving an account of these dem-
onstrations, Mr.. Cooper said:
1.-THE preparation used is not the
one with which 1 accomplish most
as my New Discovery, as it is called
10 which 1 owe my success is fol
the treatment of all forms of stom'
ach trouble and the general break
ing down of the system that follow!

The GruH Historian.

Neither at the Saturday Review din
ners nor in the companies in which ]
have met Freeman at Wells did he Of
ten show himself genial companion.
His taste for snubbing amounted to a
craze. His tendency to contradiction
on every possible opportunity altogeth-
er exceeded that even Of Bob Lowe,
Lord Sherbrooke, himself. Freeman
was more agreeable to encounter In the
open air than at dinner table. In
the Mendip district whenever I heard
horses hoofs pelting along some
piece of turf by the roadside and a
voice singing the refrain Of some old
cavalier song I knew that If looked
round / should see the historian pound

Y. NJ. C. A. WON RELAY.
Excellent Record Made Saturday i'm
Six-MiIe Relay.

The relay race between the state
reform school, the mute school and
the Y. NJ. G. A. of Salem proved to
be one of the prettiest races that
has been made by local athletes.
The local team completed the six
miles in 36 1-5 minutes, with the
mute school man / 1-5 minutes be-
hind and the reform school represen-
tative two-fifths of minute behind
the mute. The race began promptly
at 2:45 p. m. in a downpour of
rain, and the Y. Nj. G. A. man led the
first mile with good 60 yards. Ev-
cry man on the local team gained on
his opponent until at the finish the
winner was several blocks in the
lead. The exact time of the different
men was unfortunately lost, owing to
the record being destroyed, as the
paper on which IL was written be-
came wet and could not be read.
The course of the race was very
slippery, and especially in the last
two or three miles, and, considering
the condition of the roads, the time
was remarkable. A large crowd gath
cred at the local Y. NJ. c. A. to see
the finish. The members of the
three teams, in the order that they
ran, was as follows: Y. NJ. c. A.
Joe Kaiser, Smith, Brooks, Leo Kais-
er, Mcintyre and Floyd Utter. Re-
form school-Grant, Leslie, Howard,
Mcclure, Young and Reisse. Mute
school-Lynch, Tichenor. Mcdonald,
