The right to use the tOtemic crest
always descends through the woman.

The age Of the famous csdars q
Lebanon has long been 10 dispute. 10
cal tradition says they were planted
BY God At the creation Of the world
and that they will endure until the last
day.
That there was q great grove Of
cedars on Lebanon in the days Of King
SOLOMON there can b no doubt. 40 II
was from them that he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any Of those now standing were there
in SOlOmon's time Is matter Of specu-
latiOn.
At the present day the grove con-
tains $50 trees, of which only 10 are Of
large size. 1t Is in the center Of a great
basin in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel Is
on a mound In the shade Of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
OF the TRANSPORTATION a great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof
A. Henry Of the Royal College OF Sci
ences for ireland, in an article In Coun
try Life. vary from 2,2s0 years to $500
years, although it may be that they are
of slower growth than the specimens
tested In other countries.
The largest Of the cedars Is IL feet

goes on to assert that many crows re-

gypsy moths, army worms, chinchbugs
and brown moths. So he Is about twice
as good as he Is bad.
But the crow also kills young chick
ems and destroys the eggs of other
birds, George F. Burba writes in the
Columbus Dispatch. Charge that up
against him along with the 80 per cent
grain which he eats. Then on the
other hand. set down a large number
of field mice and cutwOrms which he
also gets away with and there is still
a balance in his favor Besides, much
of the grain the crow eats would be
wasted anyway, since he picks up the
scattered kernels in the field and eats
lot of very poor corn and wheat that
couldn't be any account to anybody
else. -
Hunted Become Intelligent.
The government bulletin isn't going
10 haze much effect, one way or an
other, however. Everybody takes a
shot at crow whenever he gets a
chance, but the crows persist. They
have been warred upon SO much that
they have become very Intelligent.
Take note of that-anything that Is
warred upon or hunted becomes intel
ligent. The hunted birds and animals
acquire knowledge and cunning. or
whatever ysu want to call it. Other
wise they would disappear.
If crows Were stupid and sat around
on fences when they see man in the
field with gun; II they built their
nests where the nests could be easily
broken up; II they did not help each
other by giving warning of approach
ing danger. there would be no crows
But everyone seems to be an enemy Of
the glossy fellow, and he knows that
he must keep at a safe distance.
He learns that he must build his
nest high up in tree, away from hui
man habitation. and watch out every
moment for somebody or something
that would Kill him. All of this has
made him what we call one Of the
most intelligent Of birds.

He likes to be around the house,

He is mischief maker with the hens
