Professor Trombetti, whose praises were so much sung in the foreign press ns knowing the greatest number of languages of any one ever born, relates an anecdote of himself which occurred just after he was “discovered.” In Rome he was so pestered by journal ists that hts patience at last gave way, and when c»:nered by the gentlemen of the press his language became dis tinctly lurid. One day ns he was coming out of the central postofflce a frank looking young man stepped up to him, and, holding out his hand, said: “I am so glad to make your acquaintance; I have been trying to And you for days.” “And may I inquire with whom I nm speaking?” “Why, I am X! Not a near relation to be sure, but near enough to offer you congratulations,” etc. Professor Trombetti, reassured, and glad to get hold of some one to unburden himself to, took the stran ger’s arm, and, as they went down the street, gave, in emphatic terms, a description of his sufferings, his opin ion of journalists, and, incidentally, much information about himself which the papers had been vainly sighing for. Finally they parted with an engage ment for dinner the next evening. That night the professor was sitting tranquilly in a restaurant, the observed of all observers, when suddenly he was seen, to spring to his feet with a smoth ered exclamation. His friends crowded about for on explanation, but he could only sit down weakly and point to his newspaper, the Glornale d’ltalia. There, in large print, were his impru dent revelations of the afternoon. He had been “done” by a Journalist—Pall Mall Gazette. THE PERFECT NUMBER. From Time Immemorial Three Haa Had Unusual Significance. The perfect number of the Pythago rean system, expressive of beginning, middle and end, was the number three. From time immemorial gteater promi nence has been given to it than to any other except seven. And as the symbol of the Trinity its influence has waxed more potent in recent times. It appears over and over again in both the New and Old Testaments. At the creation of the world we find land, water and sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was three days and nights in the whale’s belly, Christ three days in the tomb. There were three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained three angels. Job had three friends. Samuel was called three times. Sam son deceived Delilah three times. Three times Saul tried to kill David with a javelin. Jonathan shot three ar rows on David’s behalf. Daniel was thrown into a den of three lions be cause he prayed three times a day. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were rescued from a fiery furnace. The commandments of the Lord were de livered on the third day. St. Paul speaks of faith, hope and charity. Three wise men came to worship Christ with presents three. Christ spoke three times to Satan when he was tempted. He prayed three times before he was betrayed. Peter denied him three times. He suffered three hours of agony on the cross. The su perscription was in three languages, and three men were crucified. Christ appeared three times to his disciples and rose the third day.—New York Herald.

Etienne Dumont, writing ln-the early part of the last century, said: “The prevailing character of the French is that of conceit Every member of the assembly considered himself capable of undertaking everything. I often said that if you proposed to the first hundred men you met in the streets of Paris and to the same number in the streets of London to undertake the charge of the government ninety-nine of them would accept in Paris and ninety-nine would refuse inSLondon.” The Tibetan Conactetnce. The Tibetans offer dally prayers for the minute insects which they have swallowed inadvertently in their meat and drink, and the formula insures the rebirth of these microbes in heaven. Yet they eat meat freely and square their conscience with their appetite by the pretext that the sin rests with the outcast assassin, the public butcher, who will be born in the next*lncama tion as some tantalized spirit* or agon ized demon. That, however. Is I his own affair. Optical Indecision. The Daughter—No, mother, dear, I could not marry Mr. Smith. He squints.

THE CROWS OF INDIA TK£V ARE THE ARCH VILLAINS CP THE BIRD WORLD. Two Specie* of the Feathered Vapa* bond* Fxist Side by Side and Fly Their Trick* of Iniquity la Coih | mon—Larceny For the Love of It. It Is Quite impossible for nny oire ■who has not sojourned in tlie “Lai#l \ of Regrets” to appreciate the impor tant part played by crows in the dally life of tlie Anglo-Indian. India with out its crows is unthinkable; it could only be likened to London without its fogs. Wherever human beings ha\j» their abodes there are multitudes ijf corvidae to be found, for the Indian crow is an inseparable appendage of town and village. Two species exijt side by side in India, the great black bird known to Anglo-Indians as the corby and the smaller gray necked spe cies. Both birds lead lives of aimless vagabondage; both are scoundrels df the most pronounced type; botli ane sinners beyond redemption. Did tlie black crow exist alone it would Ub held up as the emblem of all that ts evil and mischievous. As things are, its iniquities pale Into insignificance be side those of Its gray necked cousin. The very name of the latter bird is sufficient to raise the ire of the right eous man. To call the arch villain <$f the bird world “the splendid” is mese mockery of words. Jerdon, the famous Indian naturalist, “often regrets thjt such an Inappropriate specific nanfa should have been applied to this spe cies, for it tends to bring into ridicije among the unscientific tlie system % nomenclature.” The Indian crow is able to utilise most things. A Calcutta bird has made Itself famous for all time tty constructing a nest of the wires usdd to secure the corks of soda water bot tles. Bombay is very Jealous of Cifl cutta, and the crows, of course, ape their betters. The Bombay birds de termined. not to be outdone by the Calcutta corvidae. Accordingly one <jrf the former promptly built her nest of gold and silven spectacle frames stol en from Messrs. Lawrence & Mayors factory. The value of the materials used In the construction of this nest was estimated at £20. But crows will appropriate things for which they cap have no possible use. They commit larceny for the love of the thing. Tile Indian crow is the Incarnate spirit if mischief. The bird will wantonly tear a leaf out of a book lying open on the table. My gardener, adds Mr. Da war, puts every morning fresh flowed in the vases. This operation is per formed on the veranda. One day the man was called away from his woifc for a couple of minutes. During hts absence a crow swooped down and suc ceeded in taking a beakful of flowelc and breaking the vase in which th$y were placed. A retired colonel of njy acquaintance who lives in the Hima layas is a very enthusiastic gardener, and the crows are the bane of his llfle. They root up his choicest seedling^, sever the heads of his most supert) flowers from the stalk and fly away with the little pieces of paper whhji he places in cleft sticks to mark whete seed have been sown. But it is in towns that the Iniquity of the crows reaches its maximurg. The Madras corvidae are a bywoi throughout the length and breadth jf India. The hospital is tholr favorite playground. They are never so happy as when annoying the inmates. They know at once when a person is too 4l to move. The consequence is that X has been found necessary to have made for all the tables wire covers which protect articles placed at the bedside from the ravages of the “treble date'll birds.’’ I bave seen a Madras crow quietly helping Itself to the contents df a basket which an old woman was carrying on her head. The bird wan possessed of sufficient intelligence to refrain from alighting on the basket Had it done so its presence would prob ably have been detected. It flappeH along Just above the top of the basket^ keeping pace with the woman, and st, unpercelved by her, made a meal oif the contents. The knavish tricks df crows are by no means confined to hu man beings. As Colonel Cunningham truly says, “Any animal pets are, df course, even more than inanimate ob jects, subject to their attentions, anS unless in wholly inaccessible places ana constantly liable to have their food purloined and their lives rendered a burden by persistent and ingenious per secution.” I once possessed a grey hound which used to be fed in the gar den. A man had to stand over the dqg while it was feeding; otherwise this trows would devour the greater portion of the meal. Their plan of campaign was simple and effective. They soon learned the dog’s feeding hour and A It drew near would take up a position on any convenient tree. The moment the greyhound began to eat a crow would swoop down and peck viciously st its tail. The dog would, of coursg, turn on the bird, and the others wouSl seize this opportunity to snatch away some of the food. The process woufl be repeated until the meal was over. Crows tease and annoy wild creatures with the sape readiness that they Wor ry domestic animals. They mob every strange bird in much the same way am the London street arab-makes fun df any person in unusual attire.—Long man’s Magazine. Sadden Wont of Information. Tommy—Ma, lend me a lead pencil.

All Things Are <o lie Hn.l 11 One Will but I'ur tlio Buulvuient. liife consists almost wholly of buy ing, selling, paying. There are no gifts, nothing that does not call for an equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts In kind we must pay in gratitude oi ■ervice or we shall rank as moral bank rupts. If I would liave a good situation I must pay for it not only in labor, but in promptness, intelligence, faithful ness and pood manners. If I would have good service I must pay not only In money, but in consideration, recog nition, appreciation, fairness. I cas hold no one to me if I misuse him. All things are to be had for the buy ing. Would you have friends? Then pay tbe price. Tbe price of friendship is to be worthy of friendship. The price of glory Is to do something glori ous. The price of shame is to do some thing shameful. Friendship, glory, honor, admiration, courage, infamy, contempt, hatred, art all in the market place for sale at a price. We aro buying and selling these things constantly as wo will. Even beauty is for sale. Plain women can gain beauty by cultivating grace, ani mation, pleasant speech, intelligence, helpfulness, courage or good will. Beauty is not in the features alone; it is in the soul also. Good will buys good will, friendli ness buys friendship, confidence be gets confidence, service rewards serv ice, and bate pays for hate, suspicion for suspicion, treachery for treachery, contempt for Ingratitude, slovenliness, laziness and lying. We plant a shrub, a rosebush, an or chard, with the expectation that they will pay us back. We build roads, mend harness and patch the roof with the same expectation. We will trust even these unconscious things to pay their debts. Some of our Investments are good and some are bad. The good qualities we acquire—moderation, Industry, cour tesy, order, patience, candor—are sound Investments. Our evil institutions and habits are bad Investments, involving us in losses. We become debtors to them, and they aro exacting creditors, forcing payment in full in money and labor and sometimes In blood, agony, tears, humiliation or shame. — From “Balance: The Fundamental Verity," by Orlando J. Smith. Colchester’s Thankaslvlnsr Pies. Many funny stories are told of the early Thanksgiving days. The town of Colchester, for Instance, calmly Ignored the day appointed by the governor and held Its own Thanksgiving a week lat er, when the sloop from New York bringing a hogshead of molasses for pies had arrived. In Revolutionary times Thanksgiving was not forgotten. The council of Massachusetts recom mended that Nov. 16, 1776, be set aside for “acknowledgments for mercies en joyed.” In the next year Samuel Ad ams recommended a form of Thanks giving proclamation to the‘Continental congress. Merely Existed. A number of lawyers were exchang ing stories of their experiences with witnesses under examination. One of the parties told the following: He was questioning a witness and said: “You have lived In New York a number of years.
