Clever Crows.

Tn a garden dog was eating piece of meat in the presence of four covet- ous crows. They evidently said a great deal to one another on the subject, and now and then one of them tried to pull the meat away from the dog, which he naturally resented. At last a big, strong crow succeeded in tearing off piece, with which he returned to the tree where the others congregated. A long powwow now ensued, which end ed in all four crows flying down to the dog, the leading crow dexterously drop ping the small piece of meat within reach of his mouth. The dog immedi- ately snapped at 1t, unwisely letting go the big piece, which was seized by two crows and carried to the tree, where 1t was devoured with much fluttering and hilar1ty, while the cheated dog walked away with every appearance of discomiture.-St. Louis Globe Dem- ocrat.

Eeats of Archery.

Tn the days when the bunai0 was found in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians who, while riding at a gallop, could send an arrow through a buffalo's body. Remarkable as this archery was, yet 1t did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times. 1t is of record that the MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were such skillful archers that they could hit a man at the distance of 500 yards. In 1794 the Turkish ambassador at London shot an arrow, in a field near that capital, 415 yards against the wind and 4S2 yards with the wind. The secretary of the ambassador, on hearing the expressions of surprise from the English gentlemen present, said the sultan had shot 800 yards. This was the greatest performance of modern days, but pillar, standing on plain near Constantinople, record ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie, British ambassador to the sublime port, records that in 179S he was present when the sultan shot an arrow 972 yards.-New York Press.

Mark Twain's German Coffee.


 German coffee must have given Mark Twain pain, judging from the following recipe which he gave for it's concoction:
 Take a barrel of water and bring 1t to a boil; rub chicory berry against a coffee berry, then convey the former into the water. Continue the boiling and evaporation until the intensity of the flavor and aroma of the coffee al chicory have been diminished to ? proper degree; then set aside fo cool. Now unharness the remains of once COW from the blow, insert them in a hydraulic press, and, when you shall have acquired a teaspoonful of that pale blue juice which German super stition regards as milk, modify the malignity of it's strength in bucket of tepid water and bring up the break fast. Mix the beverage in cold cup, partake with moderation, and keep a wet rag around your head to guard against over excitement
