A Big Reduction,

The modern magazine may be taken as embodying the best literature of the world, as the magazine editor pays the highest price to novelists, scientists, statesmen, soldiers, and even kings ~ and princes, for the best they can furnish in the literary line. The well edited magazine becomes an educating influence in the family circle_;{ whose importance cannot be over-esti-mated. The children, as they grow up, are attracted by its illustrations, and so come in time to have a taste for reading. There is always something ‘that is new, something that is strange, something that is interesting; and we consider that we are doing our readers a positive benefit if we are instrumental - in placing such a publication within their reach. The special arrangement which we have made with the Cosmopolitan presents very unusual inducements. That magazine is already ‘recognized as one of the most ‘interesting publications of the day. It is seeking subscribers everywhere and obtaining them. The proprietors believe that the Cosmopolitan has only to be examined 1o secure a permanent subscriber. That is why we are enabled to make, if the offer is accepted before Jauuary next, such a very low rate; by which our readers can obtain the Cosmopolitan for little more than the cost ‘of the journal alone. Just think of what the combination mean§! You obtain your own home journal at about the regular price. and have thrown in a ‘magazine which gives you, in a year, 1,536 pages of reading matter by the ablest writers of the worid, in-ciuding over 1,300 pages of illustrations that are unsurpassed in point of interest and execucution. Will it not pay you to send a subscription to this oflice for THE BANNER and the Cosmopolitan immediately? Remember, only $3,50 for the two. . e e s 8 : Explained at Last. “Can you tell me,’’ said. the dude, why that dunkey eats thistles?”’ *‘An faith, I was joost a’ thinkin’ of that,”” replied Pat, ‘‘as 1 saw yes a comin’ up the road; be jabers, it's because he’s an ass.”’

THE VANDERBILT GIFTS. : A Good Example for the Wealthy in All Parts of the Country. Is it not about time that criticisms carelessly scattered about againgt the philanthropy of the Vanderbilt family ceased? Not all the attention of the differentgenerations of that family by any means has been given to money-getting.

It will be remembered that the Commodore, the founder of the family, was also the founder of the Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tenn., at an expense of #1,000,000, at a time when the Vandefbilt esjate was 'much smaller than at present; .and his gift of the Church of the Strangers in New York City was anotheg generous act costing about $50,000. The gifts of the Commodore’s son William, so far as known, aggregate more than those of his father. The following is the principal list:

But ' it has been recently learned that he in ; company with his mother has decided to ! establish in New York City in connection with the Church of St. Bartholo- ' mew a building to cost $250,000 as the headquarters of an enterprise some- , thing like that of the People’s Palace of j London-—an institution where will be | provided nightly entertainments and rei ligious services and also schools for in- ' dustrial and technical education and }general' helpfulness for the poor, the i outcast and the vicious. . While the ini- ' tial cost’'of this may not be more than a quarter of a million doltars the wellknown generosity of Mr. Vanderbilt ; will no doubt supplement this amount | by added gifts and establishments. { The example set by the Vanderbilts ' might well be follewed by the Goulds and other wealthy capitalists of New York City. But the difference between the Vanderbilt type of man and the Gould representative is that the one has been a builder while the other has been i & wrecker; and the methods pursued in | acquiring wealth have naturally led to i the active participation of the one in charitable and philanthropic enterpriges and the significant absence of the ather from such movements.—Albany (N.

CROW CLUTCHING. Fhe Novel Way Hoosier Farmers Have of Trapping the Cunning Bird., - Indiana farmers in the back districts have a novel and effective way of trapping crows. To trap in this way the trapper must first catch a crow alive, which is generally done by crippling one with fine shot. The live crow is the trap. He is' placed on his back in the field and fastened in that position by driving a forked stick deep in the ground over each wing, near the body. The crow’s feet have free play, and there is no embargo put on his lungs. Any one who knows any thing about crows knows that the moment oneishurt or in trouble it makes the fact known by loud and peculiar cries. There may not have been another crow seen or heard in the locality for hours, but in less than half a minute after the injured crow gives its cry of distress crows will come scurrying in from all points of the compass, answering the signals of distress with emphatic and assuring caws. = The moment t}%e distressed crow is discovered by the others they swoop down upon it and, unless it is held in duress by some trap or contrivance of the enemy 80 it can’t be removed, bear it away to a place of safety, where it is nursed back to soundness and health.

- The live crow fastened by his wings on his back on the ground becomes at once the onlg sure and never-failing crow trap ever tried. He sends forth the most distressing of cries, and along comes a flock of yelling crows in response ‘to them. They pounce down upon the prostrate bird to rescue him. The bound crow’s claws and legs are free to play at the bird’s will. In his desperation he clutches the first crow that sweeps within his reach. He not only clutches, but he holds on like grim death. Some one is always in hiding near by, and the moment the decoy crow fastens on and makes a vietim of the crow that would befriend him, the watcher hurries to the scene and captures the captive’s captive: Thiscrow is in turn made a decoy in another part of the field,;and he isn’t long fastening on to a victim from among his would-be rescuers. In ten minutes after the first crow is set a farmer has no difficulty in getting half a dozen other traps inoperation, all doing steady and infallible work on their - excited and philanthropic brethren. @ The farmer may set as many - crows as he likes, for after getting his first one the supply will last as long as there is a free crow in the neighborhood, but half a dozen of these yelling and clutching traps, well set, will depopulate any average crow settlement in the course of a day.or so. Cunning as the crow is, he throws his cunning all to the winds at sight of a comrade in distress, and even so far loses his head under such circumstances as to fly to the rescue of a wing-bound crow in a field after having been made a trap of himself, as a crow will sometimes manage to work his fastenings loose in the ground by his struggles and escape. Some of the Hoosier small boys of the rural districts acquire such dexterity as crow clutechers that they are able to earn big wages in their efforts to make the big black bird extinet. Their method is to lie close along the side of some old log at the edge of a wood, covering all but their eyes and one hand with the leaves. Then by a remarkably exact imitation of a wounded erow, they soon bring a score or more of the excited birds swooping about the log. A smart boy can easily clutch a half dozen or more of the crows before they discover him, and they are worth ten cents a piece to him,—N. Y. Sun.

.~ CHARMED BY MUSIC. How a Musician Eschped From Two Im=- . mense Rattlesnakes. Paul Keister, a German musician who lives near here, reports an exciting experience which he had with a couple of rattlesnakes in the Sonoma mountains. Mr. Keister is a musician of considerable local notoriety, and his services as a violinist are in demand in the rural districts hereabouts when parties are given. » ' One Saturday evening he went to play at a farm-house back of Yulupa mountain, where a dance was given. He slept at the farm-house until morning, when he started for home, a walk of about five miles. }] The trail leads through a very deep canyon, the sides of which are exceedingly steep.. At one point the path, which is cut into the mountain side, winds around a sharp spur of the mountain and is very narrow. Keister was sauntering leisurely along the trail and had reached this point when his attention was attracted by the warning of a rattlesnake, and looking up he saw a formidable-looking rattler directly in his path opposing his passage. Keister promptly took to his heels, but had taken but a step or two when from the weeds by the side of the path another rattler rose up and jingled his tail. -

There was not room enough to pass .the snake without running the risk of being bitten, and the frightened musician backed up against the ledge that hung above him and eyed the reptiles. Escape was impossible, and he didn’t know what to do. It suddenly occurred to him that he had read of magicians in India charming snakes with musie, and pulling his violin from its box he hegan to play, the while watching the snakes, who were angrily shaking their rattles. The music had the desired effect. The snakes gradually uncoiled, and stretching themselves out in the path glided slowly toward the musician. This move on the part of the snakes was any thing but pleasing to Keister, who kept on sawing at the fiddle trying to devise some scheme for escaping. Closer and closer came the snakes, and faster and faster flew the bow over the strings as Keister’s nerves quivered and shook. At last they reached a point within two feet of the terrified fiddler, and, winding themselves up they lifted their heads closely together and fixed their shining eyes on the musician. | Keister’s nerves hung together about a minute after the snakes had assumed this attitude, and then witha yell he grabbed his fiddle by the neck and brought it down with a crushing force on the heads of the snakes. The blow stunned the reptiles and Keister kept hammering away at them till they were quite dead. He broke his violin all to pieces bpt he got away with his life. The snakes measured six and seven feet long respectively, and ong of them cars ried ten rattles and the other seven, They were the lonzost snakes of the kind ever killed in tiis neighborhood.— i El Veraico Cor. San Francise Examiner. |
