Ravens Sharp Trick.

The best talking-bird new to the
big collection in the London Zoo" Is
a raven who came to the ayiary last
year. "Hullo! jack" Is his fayorite
remark. and 1t is the voice of one
WHO meets an unworthy friend. Soon
after he arrived he used his CONVEX
sational powers with great effect upon
a lammergeier who shares his cage
(relates the London Spectator). The
lammergeier had a piece of meat
which the raven desired. but he was
unwilling to surrender 1t. The raven
hoped up. "Hullo! Jack," he began.
and the lammergeier. aghast at the
voice Of man. dropped his dinner and
hed. But the lammergeisr was never

Church Bells Remind Christiania
Children to Get Of the Streets
at Night.

Christiania, Norway.-Curfew ring
ing in Norway is not a custom of long
standing, but while the practise seems
to be getting more and more obsolete
In countries where 1t was formerly
well known II has been taken up in
this country with great energy by a
number of social workers, who argue
that ringing the church bells at say
eight o'clock p. m. In winter and 9
p. m. In summer will prove the best
means of keeping children away from
the streets. And 1t is further argued
that their staying there after dark
has been one of the principal reasons
for the comparatively numerous Of
lenses by children which have been
reported during late years. The work
for introducing the curfew here In a
short time won a good many follow
ers.
After being tried In some OF the
smaller towns the practise has now
been introduced In Christiania. Al
prepare the public for 1t, the first
chimes created considerable sensa-

unheard of here for years, and the

Mr.. Editor:
We feel constrained to write
and express through your valuable
paper, my appreciation of the many
acts of kindness, and words of sym
pathy of the people of Edgefeld
during the sickness of my husband
for the last three months. Words
will not express my gratitude.

had very serious surgical operation
performed by DR.. Guerry. We met
with SO much kindness there. The
ladies of the W.. c. T. U. and pas.
tors of the different churches have
been SO attentive. To our beloved
pastor in Edgefcld,also Drs. Tomp-
kins and Marsh, we feel that we
owe debt of gratitude. Not onlyan
Edgefeld, but from friends in diff
erent parts Of the county, have we
received loving kindness.
May God bless them every one is
the prayer of one who has passed
through many sorrows.
