Crows and Wrinkles,

Large focks of crows are in the
fields and on the shores. CLANS and
mussels are about all the food they
can get. except perhaps a few wrinkles
now and then: AS these wrinkles have
a tough shell the crow, when he finds
one. will fly for the shore and over a
fiat ledge when at a height of thirty or
forty feet the o will stop his flight
and drop the Wrinkle on the rocks.
thus breaking the shell.
Then perhaps a dozen will gather
around and ravenously eat the sweet
morsel. 1t is doubtful il the crow de-
stroys as much as he is accused OF
doing.-Lewiston Journal.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1909-07-20

may not ngure, In the popular mlno,
as an inviting subject for a rhapsody,
but when you come to consider his
economic relations to the concerns OF
humanity where will you find another
animal with more points in his favor
than just the hog, with all OF his
bristles and his untidy habits? =
The hog comes into this world, al
most without exception in a gre
garious' form. One never hears OF q
little pig or a mature hog being
spoiled" because he is the only
member Of the family. There are
always others-and plenty OF hem
to share the favors that come to
the hog household. 1t is quite usual
for the family" to number eight or
ten, and a litter of IL is no phe-
nOmenal.
Well, within less than a year OF
the birth of a litter of pigs they are
full-grown hogs, carrying several hun
dred pounds of the best meat that
eve came from the hand of nature.
Again, each several hog when he
goes to market carries in his corpulent
carcass about ten bushels of corn.
II you have given the subject the at
tention it calls for, you a see how
much this saves the honest farmer in
the way of freight charges in the
transportation of corn.
But the hogs usefulness is by no
means limited to his life. His real
virtues begin to shine forth after he
is dead.
To the hog belongs the high priv
ilege and the honor of furnishing the
poor man food. Not hat the food is
always cheap; but it is more readily
produced and more plentiful than any
other sort of animal nourishment, and
for quality it challenges competition
and is without a rival.
But it is when it comes to infinite
variety" that the hog shines as a food
producer. He is good to eat lin any
spot or place." From his head to his
tail he is a compendium of delicious
parts.-Kansas City Star.

AT AFILa..UON TEA
FUNCTION THAT ie EXCLUSIVE,
LY BRITISH.
Americans Seem Unable to Treat the
Ceremony with Proper Respect -.
Remember King George and ,
His Chumpishness.

Watch your American at tea, for his
behavior is bound to be individual.
There has never been anything in his
W experience quite like the COM
plete stOppage of toll and thought
which happens here under every roof,
domestic or commercial, at a fixed
time of every day in the year.
The only historic parallel to it Is
the working of the spell in the legend
of the sleeping beauty when the cock
Growing and the cook in the middle Of
her roast.
In nurseries, in gaols, in the houses
Of parliament, in shops, mines, court
rooms, cab shelters, vestries, garri-
sons and along a thousand wharves
and jetties-wherever is the full play
of human activity-suddenly arrives a
moment, armed, as it would appear
with plenary powers, and the habit
able earth of Englishmen sits, crosses
its legs, and drains more thar once a
dark, strong fluid out of a cup.
This libation has nothing to do with
hunger-the overmeal would seem to
be purely liturgical. Woe to the
stranger who looks lightly upon it,
for he is guilty of something more
glaring than Sabbath-breaking.
Should he grin at it as a sort OF
diurnal picnic, he must SOC be
brought to recognize in it a sacrosanct
character, calling Upon call that .
man has of fortitude and d~elicacy."
While the clock hands hover be-
detached expression on the face Of
the outlander.
Secular antecedents could never &C.
count for the pre%ternatural decency
and cody gloom of the spectacle as a
whole. Every clean-collared, meek
eyed schoolboy who tiptees about Of
fering the condiments which, in his
parents judgment go with tea, every
unnatural schoolboy of them all be-
HAYES exactly as he behaves in church
and as he behaves nowhere else but
here.
Strange that the student of COM
parative mythology has never turned
his attention to this ceremony! The
first sprightly runnings" of it were
not tannin but idolatry. The very
word, tea, may have come into use
from the familiar invocation by his
initial of Thoth or Thor.
As for the Americans. let them rest
In their atheism. Tea is a great sym.
Dol, and their W. of tea is not
marked; besides, it is connected with
the memory of a just revolt against
King George and his chumpishness.
That wasteful transaction in Bos.
ton harbor in the ear of grace 1875
takes on an added impiety at home
when it is considered that it was not
any common beverage, but the one
unique and adored, which was thus
poured in disdain into the marine gut
ters.,
After such a national sacrilege and
the curse attendant upon it, can rebels
be expected to retain the virginia. rap
lures which the subject inspires in
every true English bosom?-London
Sphere.

HAD VARYING ENDS
HOW GREAT. NATIONS OF THE
PAST HAVE DIED.
Mighty Rome Went Down Fighting
Poland Divided by Its Three Pow.
erfuI Neighbors-Others Passed
Without q Struggle.

Most countries which have died have
gone down fighting. The Roman empire
persisted like that.
The empire of the west became so
weak at last that 1t could make no
stand against its enemies. Rome was
sacked by the barbarians, and event
ally became, not the capital OF a vast
empire, but the city OF the popes. over
which the pontiffs reigned as kings.
Finally, the city was taken without a
real fight by the soldiers of the king
of Italy.
The empire of the east had it's capt.
tai at Constantinople. For centuries it
was the greatest power in the world.
But it became h~oneycombed with vice
and e~nervated with pride and luxury.
Also it grew old and weak.
Then the Turks made a tigerish
spring on Constantinople and took it
by storm. The last of the Greek en-
perors died sword in hand, and his de-
scendants are living in England to-day
in very humble situations.
Egypt, once SO powerful and famous
under the Pharaohs, was conquered by
Rome. and was afterward swamped by
the Moslems.
The great moguls used to reign in
India. In the days Of Queen Elizabeth
the moughul-or emperor of Delhi, as
he was sometimes called-was so pow
erful hat he thought it a vast corces-
sion on hiC mart tn rpnniUn an Qn.
bassy from the maiden queen.
But as time went on the great "a
iahs. or tributary kings, rebelled
against the moghuls. India was rent
asunder by the wars between rival ra-
jahs. This gave the Europeans q
chance.
France at first held the upper hand,
and nearly conquered the land. But
then England drove France back, and
seized the empire of the great moghuls
for herself. The heir of the moghuls
still enjoys a pension given by the

Poland used to occupy a big place on
the map of Europe. At one time it
was much larger and stronger than
Russia.
But Poland persisted through her
own faults and follies. The mass of
the common people were slaves in all
but name. Hence the mobiles and the
people never stood together in times of
danger or disaster.
Poland was a big c~ountry-but it
was divided against itself; and Russia,
Prussia and Austria combined were
more powerful. They all three joined
hands and each took a large share of
Poland in 1872.
In 1898 the trio of robbers made a
second swoop. Only the ghost of Po-
land was left. Another year saw the
end Of the tragedy. The last remnants
Of Poland were swallowed up by Rus
STA. Prussia and Austria.
The fate of the republic of Venice is
one of the most dramatic in all his
tory. Its doges ranked as the equals
Of the proudest kings. It's alliance was
coveted by the greatest powers. All
real power rested in the hands of the
dreaded Council of Ten and the Secret
Three. The latter was a trio of living
mysteries, and were known by name to
practically no one in Venice.
. So the government of Venice was a
terror to its W people and the out
side world. Then Napoleon came upon
the scene and the Lion of St. Mark
licked the dust"

four-gallon demijohn shall contain
only three gallons is nc longer toler-
ated. Be it noted that the govern
ment does not interfere when the
adulterant or substitute is innocuous;
but only insists that the article shall
be sold for what it really is, not for
what it purports to be.
No possible objection can be raised
to provisions of this character; and
no honest dealer will raise them. The
government does not interfere with
business, but merely decares that it
will not sit idly by and see people
robbed and swindled; and no one can
even claim any right or privilege to
conduct a swindling business.
In view of the extension of this
principle to include food, drugs, sill
verware, ETC., we would call atten-
ton to one department in which no
provision for the protection of the
public has yet been made, and where
as a consequence the a~dulterants,
substitutes. etc, have grown steadily
worse. We refer to the cloths Of the
various kinds turned out by the mills,
and the clothing for both men and
women made therefrom. Goods are
sold today as silk which contain very
little il any of the silkworm-S pro-
duct; and the word "woolens'' is rap
idly ceasing to have any significance
it may mean an article containing
10, so or even IS per cent cotton; it
may, indeed. be a very low grade of
shoddy.
Now, why should not the citizens
be protected in what they wear as
well as in what they eat? Again we
say, it is not proposed that there
shall be any interference with trade
Goods made of cotton may answer
just as well as woolens; some people
may be financially unable to buy
goods "all wool and a yard wide"
and must be satisfied with jeans, but
they should at least know what they
are buying, and should not be swim
Gled into paying fancy prices for
died into paying fancy prices for
what is claimed to be wool, but what
in reality is a half and half shoddy.
Why should not the mills turning
out cloths Of all kinds, and the retail
ers as well, be required to sell them
for what they really are, not under
some false, misleading or fraudulent
name? We think the time is coming
when the people are entitled to abso-
lutte honesty in all things. when goods
of all kinds should be sold by their
right anne That this is necessary

in the grocery and produce
BUSINESS, in the sale of drugs. of low
eiry and of a dozen similar articles is
self-eviGent, and is beine proved by
the large amount of shoddy now be-
ing worked off on an unsuspecting
public under various aliases.
