FEARLESS RAVENS


From time immemoriaI ravens have
been the subject of song, story, and
superstition. Their fearlessness, trick
cry, contradictory manners, artfulness,
harsh note, ugly form, and beautiful
black plumage have formed the theme
for many bird-1ore story.
Perhaps one of the most curious
facts about the raven Is that while
there is no more shy bird, or one more
difficult to get near to, when it is wild,
none tames more easily, and when
tanned it is totally fearless When
wild, the raven will never dare to at
tack any bird. but will steal eggs or
young, and hover around uttering the
most dismal croaks. But once tanned,
he thinks nothing of walking up to
your dog and using old Towser's back
as a sort OF penWiper for cleaning his
beak, and will often go so far, if the
dog is asleep, as to pull the animals
ears and tweak its tail, flying away
with great scurry when the dog
growls at him, but returning again in
few minutes to renew the attack

COMMON WORDS IN ENGLAND
First Thing an Englishman Notices
in America is That Nobody Says
"Thank You.'

The most used words in England are
Thank you" gays the New York Sun.
1t means anything from yes" and mo
TO please get off my hat" When in
doubt always say Thank you"
When you give servant anything
he says THANK you" and when he
gives you something he says Thank
you" The first thing an Englishman
notices when he comes to America is
that nobody says Thank you
He gives the taxi driver "thrippence''
sad then misses his favorite Thank
YOU" At least what the taxi driver
says doesn't sound like Thank you. -
When you reach France, however,
you may relapse into all your little
home comforts. You may pick your
teeth and manicure your nails in a
restaurant, and you can eat anything
you like with your fingers. You may
omit your daily tub and patronize the
'parfumerie."
But IL you wish to be a gentleman
you must wear smart clothes, smart
clothes consisting chiefly of gayly col
ored waistcoats. socks and ties.

STRANGE LITIGATION

Among the euriosities Of litigation
may be cited the following case. Or
the boundary-line of two farms in an
Austrian village, there grew large
gooseberry bush, from which two
farmers for years gathered the prod
uct. What grows on my side is mine,
and you may have the rest was the
agreement.
Some time ago the neighbors had
a misunderstanding, and this came to
a climax when the gooseberries be-
came ripe. A lawsuit followed, and
appeals were made to higher judicial
bodies. The final decision was lately
recorded in the Austrian courts.
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side of the line, just as it was orig
ally, but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half
to each litigant. Each farmer had to
pay 25e krone. The yearly yield Of
the bush is worth about one-half
krone, and the judge told the fighting
farmers:
With good luck, it will take you
only 800 years to make the bush pay.
Take good care Of it,

A SUNLESS VILLAGE

In the valley Of the Ign, near Lyn-
mouth, North Devon, there is a quaint
little hamlet called MiddIeham, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not sean.
The cluster Of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills SO steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
not rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance of the sun is
eagerly locked for, and as it is first
seen on February Il. the inhabitants
call it their valentine.
If the day should be foggy or
cloudy so that it cannot be seen, there
is great disappointment, especially
among the children.
For the first few days after the
14th the sun Is only seen for a very
short time, but as the sun rises higher
IN the heavens the time it is In sight
increases daily until its height is
reached, when it gradually begins to
fade fr'm view again until In Noyem-
Der it entirely Vanishes from sight
for another three months.

BOYS CORN CLUB CONTESTS
important Factor in Directing Rural
Youth to Business OF Farming
as Noble Profession.

Roys' corn club contests, started a
through the bureau of plant Industry
Of the United States department Of ag-
riculture, have become SO successful
and popular in the south that the
movement has become national in
character. A recent circular OF the
bureau OF plant industry is an inter-
esting contribution TO the subject.
The National Corn club is an i'm
portant factor says the circular, in
directing rural boys to the business
of farming as probable and noble
profession. The boys are needed for
the efficiency of the farm and their
work and leadership must be had if
American agriculture is to keep step
with the march Of civilzation''
In connection with ftganizing and
directing clubs the csrfalar says:
Every premium offered for con-
tests. and corn club~ irk should have
for its main intet. II the, promotion
and encouragement the regular
club work. The premium should rep
resent the greatestaseed and interest
Of the corn club mg 5Dership; it must
teach the broad viefspoint Of the club
work and encourage both members and
leaders to the progressive and con-
structive in their work, and it should
serve to increase the club members
interest and respect for farm life.
Club leaders, county superintend-
ents, teachers, and others interested in
promoting agricultural and rural home
interests should lose no opportunity
to have club exhibits and interests
recognized effectively at county, dis
trict and state fairs. County farmers
institutes, short courses, and teach
ers' associations are excellent mediums
for promoting the club work, and an
exhibit Of club products, special con-
tests, essays. and general discussions
On phases of the work should occupy
some place and time during the regu-
lar session"

MARINERS QUEER MIxUP

One of the most extraordinary
stories ever told of the sea is related
by Captain Engellandt, owner of the
steel sailing ship Erndte. He was at
sea with three men on board when a
great gale came sweeping and tearing
and screaming over the waves, and
drove his vessel before it into the
skipper stuck to the wheel all through
the long hours Of darkness, and the
gale dying down to a snarling groWi
at 4 a. m., he relinquished his post
and stepped down to his cabin for
change of clothes.
It was at this moment the real bust
ness of the day began. He had just
got into dry underclothing when the
vessel quietly turned bottom upward,
and he found himself standing on the
roof of the cabin, with the door over
his head hermetica1ly sealed by the
ocean. Was ever man in such straits
before?
He climbed through into the hold
Of the vessel, where he found raisins,
condensed milk, prunes, rice, and, of
course, Teutonic sausage. Eating
sparingly Of this healthy fare, and
on the steel bottom of
the boat to attract the attention of
any ship that hight happen 10 pass,
he spent 70 days in this strange Fan
ner before he was rescued. The wreck
had to be lowed to a mighty crane
before a steel plate could be unloos-
ened and the skipper be free to lock
once more on the blue sky.
