11lsesi Ousls Ussd
u Decoy FOR Crosse

There u one way IN which q Wild
crew may b shaken cut Of his accps-
toned wary cemposure Or may b re-
daesd svsA to a state Of hysteria, says
Henry O. Cary In Bird Lore.
Procure q stuffed owl. preferably
one Of the largest species, like the
great horned or the barred, and place
Il out In the open In the country.
The crows viii gather moro quickly
than do the vultures when they see
carrion and they will follow each
other, az the vultures are said to do,
20 that the whole crow population for
miles around will soon be pouring out
the walls Of its wrath on the poor
stuffed head with its yellow glass
eyes.
The crows have an instructive fear
Of the owl tribe, and hence they unite
in an attempt to drive the stuffed owl,
which they suppose to be alive, away
from their own neighborhood.
This method of decoying crows
seems to work best In the nesting
season. Its efficacy may be due to the
owls, preying upon old and young
crows in and near the nest at night.
Certainly the habit Of nesting and
roosting very near the topmost
branches Of tall trees would seem to
make the crow, more than most birds,
an easy victim Of both hawks and
owls.

Sign Told the Truth

The blind mendicant, led by a dog
on string, has not been so much I'm
evidence during the last few years,
but the other day one Of the clan took
up a position on Girard avenue near
Broad street.
He was fully equipped up to the old
time standard. His clothes were
ragged, his tin cup was battered and
the dog put on as dull and sleepy an
appearance as his master. Fastened
about the dogs neck was a placard
bearing the appeal: "Please help the
blind"
A man in passing attempted to toss
a quarter into the cup, but it struck
the edge and rolled out over the pave
ment. The blind" man promptly
made dive for 1t and as his hand
closed over the coin the surprised
business man who had given it ex-
claimed: "What do you mean? You're
an old faker and not blind bit"
Never said was, mister" was the
prompt reply. "It's the dog that's
blind."-Philadelphia Record.

8 Too Much for Billy

It Il hard for grownups to see
things from q child's point Of view.
and to realize that our ideas Of polite
ness must sometimes seem strange to
him! The Woman had this fact
brought to her notice the other day.
She was visiting a friend who has q
small son. Billy had been sitting next
his mother when the Woman entered
the room, but at his mothers run and
play, DEAR" he retired to q corner
with books and blocks. Presently,
however. he returned and slipped into
his little chair between the two ladies.
The grownups continued to talk, and
Billy, holding book in his fat little
hands, looked eagerly from one to the
other in the hope that a pause in the
conversation would give him a chance.
Failing this, he presently laid hand
on the Woman's arm, Excuse me-" he
said softly.
Certainly, DEAR" replied the Wom-
an, "what is it?"
Nothing; just wanted to speak to
my mother q minute" answered Billy,
and turning to her he spoke quickly,
before the stream Of adult converse
ton should start again. 81 found

Patriotic Action of
Foreign-Rorn Citizens

Through the efforts Of naturalized
Swiss, a naturalized German and q
naturalized Frenchman, the United
States government once was saved
from bankruptcy, writes Sydney Green
bic In Asia Magazine. It was during
the War Of 1872, war so unpopular
In many quarters that the govern
ment's attempt to negotiate a loan Of
$16.OO0,0OO for its conduct brought in
subscriptions of less than $4,000, 900.
New England refused to extend any
aid, and some persons thought that
the colonies were going back to the
Mother Country.
The treasury was almost at the end
OF its rope, lacking both funds and
credit, when John Jacob Astor, a ma
tive German, and Stephen Girard, a
Frenchman, the two richest men in
America, came to the rescue and,
through Secretary Albert Gallatin Of
Madison's cabinet, a Swiss, took the
remaining $1O,OOO,OOO. Astor SUBJ
scribed for $2,OOO,OOO, and Girard,
through his bank, became responsible
for $S,WO,OOO.

Tribute Seems Rough
on Weddins Finery

Rice and confetti, for use after we'd
ding ceremonies, both have their OPP
ponents, but they seem preferable to
the coal dust which, we are told, was
thrown at st. Pancras recently after
the wedding Of q coal HEAVIER and his
bride.
But the idea Of this occupational
tribute Is not quite new; some years
ago confsctionsr and his bride were
pelted with the little sweets which
are known as hundreds and thou
sands" The idea might be endlessly
extended-tea leaves for the grocer,
sawdust for the Joiner, chopped suet
for the butcher, buns for the baker.
buttons for the draper, orange peel
for the greengrocer, and pills for the
doctor and chemist. In the case Of
writing people and journalists, pre-
sumabiy all their friends would turn
up and empty their fountain pens at
the bride and bridegroom. That
sounds a curious complimentary,
then, so does coal dust-Mancheste
