A Tale of Jim Crow.

Instead of what win the robins dc then, poor things. tho juveniles should be taught to substitute crows for rob- ins during the prevalence of wintry weather, of which there has been much this season. When the ground is frozen and worse still. when the ground is covered with snow, tha cawing tribes have hard lines. Any. one who has chased g famished crow. his hand, has found it almost as light as one of Is tail feathers. How the poor things live is q mystery of nature.
 One of the best stories of purely veraciOus brand as to the poverty and vital persistence of the crow in snowy weather is that of the fellow who chased crow with the wind whistlins for zero against the current, so that, baffled and in weakness, it tackled. and was blown broadside against tho end of a stub of wheat. which passed entirely through the body of poor Jim. Rescuing the bird from his impalement the rescuer found that it weighed so little that an ounce weight would he ashamed to appear in the balance with it. He let it loose, and to his anaze- nlent, the cadaverous crow that hal been run through amidships scared aloft during q puff in the wind, and made off with il0arse croaks toward . cllimp of trees.
 With all it's faults. the crow serves a good end, and positively the most forlorn place upon the whole coun- try-side is a crows roost, where tho tribe gathers by thousands, and with empty craws to tell their hard luck stories. Is there no philanthropy foy the winter-staryed crows?-Baltimore American.

The Price of Proaress.

The historic reluctance of Oriental races to indulge in reforms is little understood, but time and experiences will explain. These races are old In experience and in wisdom. Therefore, they are always apprehensive of the ultimate ends to which any reform will reach. Japan has modernized rapidly. It enjoys lthe benefits of g very im- proved form of government. Out of this change develops a gradual rise in the status of the masses and one of the consequences is a discontent. Alexander II. of Russia emancira ted 23000,e0 serfs in the spring of 1881, after giving aal landowners and serf masters three months notice to pre- pare for the event, and setting his own serfs free as an example. In 1881 tho sons and daughters of the ezna ncipated serfs, having enjoyed the benefits of education and thereby discovered the wrongs of the past and the expressions to which the poor were still subject at the hands of the nobles and great land owners, expressed their discontent by killing the emperor who had lifted them to the status of free men and women. Russian discontent was fo- mened bv Michael Bakoun;n, the founder of terrorism in Russia.
 Japan has her Bakounin in Denjiro Kotolku, a publicist of discontent. Re- gently q band of 36 conspirators were arrested upon the charge of plotting against the life of the emperor and 13 of them have already been executed. These terrible blunders seem to be unavoidable consequences of Q change in the status of the people of any ma ton, but only the superficial observer could condemn all attempts at pros gress because, in governments as in railroading, they involve a certain elss ment of danger.-Detroit News.
