There, are not a few birds that pos sess a knowledge of the principles of surgery that Is not far from tho super natural. The woodcock, the partridge and some other birds are able to dress their wounds with considerable skill. A French naturalist Eays that on several occasions he has killed wood cock that were, when shot, convalesc clng from wounds previously received. In every instance ho found tho old In Jury neatly dressed with down plucked from the stem of feathers and skill fully arranged over the wound, evi dently by the long benk of the bird. In some Instances a solid plaster was thus formed, and In others ligatures had been applied to wounded or brok en limbs. One day he killed a bird that evi dently pad been severely wounded at some recent period. Tho wound was covered and protected by a sort of network of feathers, which had been plucked by the bird from Its own body and so arranged as to form a plaster, completely covering and protecting the wounded surface. It had evident ly acted as hemostatic In the first place, and subsequently as a shield covering the wound. Tho feathers were fairly netted together, passing alternately under and above each other, and forming a textile fabric of great protective power. Birds are often found whose limbs have been broken by shot, with tho fractured ends neatly joined nnd Hgatod. M. Dumonteil tells of a wood cock that had been shot by a sports man on the afternoon of a certain day. After a long search the bird was given up, but It was dlscovored the next morning by an accident. In the meantime the wounded legs were tounu to ne neatly ngateci, an ox qulsltoly neat bandage having been I placed around each limb. The poor bird, however, had, in dressing its I wound, entangled Its beak with some long, soft feathers, and had It not been discovered it would have died of star vation.

Xothlng of a positive character throwing light on the mystery was dovcloped, and the jury returned a verdict of death due to poi sonous morphine taken In sugar by Mrs. Byron for the purpose of sweetening her tea, and placed In the sugar-bowl by parties unknown to the Jury.

Fear American Competition Ex-Senator W. D. Washburn of Min neapolis, prior to sailing for home ou the Americnn Line steamer St. Louis, said that he had found considerable unenslness among the bankers and manufacturers of the Continent con cerning American competition. "They perceive," he added, "that we are just getting ready, and In no re spect is It likely that they can beat us In the future. How long can Europe stand to pay a balance of trade of $050,000,000 a year, after all our secur ities are sent back? Some able con tinental observers to whom I put the inquiry were unable to answer. Thev fear us." Commenting on the "fantastic idea of a commercial bond of the European nations against the United States," The Outlook says: One might as well try to hang a Venetian blind over tho sun as to try to exclude the Influence of American Industries from the world. For one thing, Great Britain would be no party to the bond. For another power American reprisals would be terrible. Even now Germany is on the verge of a struggle between classes, caused by the proposed tariff. Under the Ger man tariff Austria would suffer griev ously. It is not easy to see how countries which are at issue with themsolves and each other and whose fiscal arrangements excite class against class could agree on a policy 'against a common competitor. A Poor Advertisement. From tho Bennington Banner. One of our exchanges gives voice to this plaint, which Is a repetition of a song we have heard nearer home: "Some weeks ago wo started a stove voting contest for the benefit of our readers, and but little interest has thus far been shown by those who should have been Interested, Not enough names or votes have thus far been entered to warrant us continuing the contest, and if more are not pre sented before another week, the con test will be brought to a close." Why not put Into the editorial and local columns the energy expended in "vot lng contests," and let hardware men sell stoves, and other lines of mer chandise each Its own commodity? It is a pretty sure sign that schemes like tho one friend is about to give, up denotes "struggling to live," which is a poor advertisement to place before subscribers. The Indian secretary, Lord George Hamilton, has told the House of Com mons that the gold standard policy has more than realized the governments ex- pectatlons In India. Despite three years I of famine and acute depression in the leading agricultural staples, the balance ffiVtrTff came under the crown.
