FLOCK OF CROWS ON 4 JAG
Farmer Soaks Corn in Whisky and Finds Eight Birds Acting Much
 Like Men.

William Oles of Colebrook. has a large field Of corn which has been ravaged for months by crows. MT. Oles did not like that sort of thing very much. Searching his brain for plan to end the unweleome atten- tions of the crows, he came upon this idea He would soak some of the corn in whisky and place 1t in the corn patch.
 He did that the other night. The next morning he was awakened by a fearful jabbering in the eornfeld He rushed out to investigate. He found eight large crows staggering around the field and stimulating the human voice as closely as nature would per nit He says he heard one of the crows singing.
 When they saw Mir. Oles they tried to fly, but il was impossible. They couldn't even walk straight. ill fact, they fell every few seconds.
 Mr Oles bundled them into a couple of parrot cages. When they sobered up he leetured them severely. Then he took them into the field shot them. and Jeff their bodies as warning 70 other croWs--Winsted Correspondent New York World

WHAT LISZT DID FOR tiUs
His Compelling Personality. Genius and Inspiration Made Possible
 the Later Wagner.

But he introduced into the musty academic atmosphere of musical Flu rope strong, fresh breeze from the Hungarian puzta; this wandering piano player of Hungarian-Austrian blood, genuine cosmopolte, taught music new charm, the charm of the unexpected, of the improyised. The freedom of Beethoven in his later works and of Chopin in all his music became the principal factor in the style of Liszt. Music must have the shape of an improvision. In the Hun garian rhapsodies, the majority of which begin in a mosque and always end in a tavern, are the extremes of his system. His orchestral and vocal works, the two symphonies, the masses and oratorios and symphonic poems are full of dignity, poetic feel ing. religious spirit, and largeness of accent and manner. Yet the gypsy glance and gypsy voice turk behind many a pious or pompous bar Apart from his invention of new form-or rather the condensation and reyisal of an old one-the symphonic poem Liszt's greatest contribution 10 are is the wild. truant, rhapsodic extempore element he infused into modern mu- sic; nature in her most reckless, un- trammeled moods he interpreted with fidelity But the drummers in the line of moral gasoline who controlled criti- cism in Germany refused to see LlsZt except as an ex-piano virtuoso with the morals of fly and perverter of art. Even the piquant triangle in his piano concerto was suspected as pos sibly suggesting the usual situation of French comedy.
 The LisztWagner question no long CT presents any difficulties to the fair minded. It is a simple one. for men still living know that Wagner, to reach his musical apogee, to reach his public, had 10 lean heavily on the musical genius and individual inspira- tion of Liszt. The later Wagner would not have existed-as we now know him-without first trayersing the gar. der of Liszt This is not a theory but a faet.-From Franz Liszt-The Real and Legendary" by James Huneker, in Scribner's.

The bishop of Carlisle. Esq. Is no believer in "sparing the rod" and spelling the child In recent ad dress he deplored the soft notions now being preached by people calling themselves humanitarians." It is said to be degrading to fog boy, said the bishop. We'll l am truly thankful that was often degraded in that sense ill my boyhood If l had not been so degraded then should be more degraded now We need to eliminate these enervating, foolish soft and therefore cruel notions from our educational system This is a matter not only for teachers, but for parents

Home and School.

fSehool composition written by Miss Ethel Weaver. Whitener. Ark.
 The home and school are so closely connected that il is thought best to discuss them as the same. It seems that home. and home government, in this enlightened age. are subjects that need no discuss ion; but in fact they need more at tention than any other thing. Hard ly nation on earth today has fail ed 10 observe and comment on the failure of American home govern ment and the failure of American people
 We have a multitude Of men who are as daring as those who scaled the Alps with Hannibal, yet We find but few who will go into home life and govern as they should, set ting good examples day by day, al ways refusing that which is not best for the child regardless of it's entreaties, putting into their hands good literature, instructing them in morality both by example and pre- eept, and many other things that should be mentioned
 The business affairs of life are taking too much time from Home Education is here for Us all and lt is the duty of all parents to study the welfare Of the children, 10 train them in the ways of useful ness. and assist them in acquiring a practical education. The law make the parents partly responsible for the conduct Of the child. Hence We understand the law recognizes the power Of environment over the acts of children The duty of children is to obey their parents in all things to be submissive and respectful Good discipline is blessing to the home. to the school. to the coun- try and to the child.
 Our school system has been great ly improved through the wisdom of our representatives, and the influ- enee Of some of our educators. Many excellent things have been added 10 our school curriculum. If our child ren are to figure prominently in future reforms, We must be careful to see that they are properly edu- cated. Let each of us do our own part of the work.

OLD CHINESE ROLLS FOUND
Thousands of Manuscripts on Silk Dis covered In Grottos by
 French Explorer.

Paul Pelliot, the young French ex- plorer of Chinese Turkestan. found in caverns at -Huang silk rolls which are Chinese manuscripts, some of them embroidered by artists who seem to have stepped out of The Arabian Nights" These rolls have been immured in these grottos for nine hundred years. and when de- ciphered and translated will tell the story of a civilization that fiourished over thousand years ago and is dead.
 The explorer brought back five thou sand rolls, but as there are five hun dred grottos. he believes many more libraries will be found.
 In the last few years archaeologists at work in the Mediterranean island of Crete have unearthed ruins and pot tery which prove that civilized people inhabited Greece as far back as the year 2600 B. C. The system of drain age in the prehistoric city of Gnossus, in Crete. is more sanitary than any found in any historic age anywhere on earth until the nineteenth century.
 The life of the human race upon this planet Is being traced further and further back The earliest known civilization is being found to have been preceded by one still earlier.

from that of the cockerel He no longer shows any disposition to fight, Is much more quiet and is easy to keep within bounds. The true capon never crows. Along with this change in disposition there is a change in api esfanee The comb and Wattles cease growing. which causes the head 10 appear small. The hacker and sad de feathers develop beautifully In deeG these feathers and the undeVel oped comb and wattles serve to iden- ufy the eanGn and in consequence should never be removed when the bird is dressed for the market
 As result of the more peaceful disposition the eapon continues 10 grow and his body develops more uni. formiy and to somewhat greater size than Is the case with the cock erel of the same age For time the cockerel and she capon make about equal development, but in short time the capoa outstrips the eoekerel n growth
 As they do not fight nor worry one another. large fock of eapons may be kept together Coupled with the better growth Is the fact that the capon brings a better price per pound.
 Coekerels ap to months old usual ly bring from 12 to Is cents a pound; If held longer than this they are chased as old cocks and do not bring more than to 12 gents pound
 There are two reasons. then. why it is better to eaponize surplus cock erels than to raise them for market as such GD There is an increase in weight. and f2) the price per pound Is materially increased

The following is adapted from an exchange:
 A man was too economical to subscribe for the Springdale News and sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken hy his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over $4 stand of bees and in To seconds looked like a warty summer squash. His father ran to his assistance, and failing to notice barhed wire fence, ran into it, cutting hand full of flesh from his anatomy and ruining S4 pair of pants. The old COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran out, upset q four-gal- lon churn full of cream into bas- ket of little chickens drowning the entire batch Tn her haste she dropped S25 set Of false teeth.
 The baby having bpen left alone craWled through the spilled cream into the parlor, ruining brand new SEQ carpet. During the ex- eitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man. the dog broke up the eleven setting hens and the calf got out and chewed the tails off four fine shirts on the line.
