CROWS BATTLE WITH HAWK.
The Fight End. in the Death of the

Druid Hill Park. Baltimore, near
Superintendent Casst-ll's residence was

iue uercest battles ever fought between
crows on the cue side afed a large
chicken hawk on the other, and per

the nests. Representatives of the two
species of birds rarely meet without a
battle. They usually fleht In midair
This Is no doubt the reason why the
hawk has won so many victories.
fully twelve or fifteen crows took
part In this battle. The hawk was at
tacked In midair while hovering over
i crow's nest The onslaueht made him
furious, and he retaliated by swooping
down on the tree In which the nest
was built The crows were determined
to drive off the enemy and made a sys
tematic and concerted onslaught on the
Intruder. First one and then another
would drive at blm and in a short time
the ground under the tree was strewn
with feathers.
The hawk fought with bill and claws.

crow and then another would give the
hawk a dig with Its bill and then Jump
back to escape the savage plunges of
tbe hawk.
The hawk fought as long as he could
stand on bis feet, says the Baltimore
Sun. Even while lying on his side or
back he kept up the struggle. The
crows, however, were relentless and
kept on pecking away until their ad
versary fell dead. They then flew off
considerable distance. Not one of
their number was killed.
TRIPLICATE BAGGAGE CHECK.
It Is a matter of commou knowledge,
among travelers especially, that much
confusion and aunorance result from
the present duplicate system of check

stations, etc., mistakes In delivery
often occurring because there Is no
meaus of Identifying the owner should
the article be delivered at tbe wrong
address. The object sought to be at
tained by William F. Connor, of ?ew
York City, by the use of the trlpllcute
check Is to give the owner of the par
cel or bnggapj a third coupon, to be
given up as a means of Identification
upon delivery of the goods. The tag
Is to be used In the following manner:

baggage, and the third is placed on the
goods. When the owner arrives at his

enabling him to secure the goods, the
remaining coupon being given up when

CARE OF THE FEET.
Suggestions Concerning Shoe, Stock
ing! and Amateur Chiropody. '
We may congratulate ourselves that
more and luoiv, as time goes on, cus
turn and futslilou move together In the
direction of the proper care of the feet
In shoes the extremely narrow-pointed
toe Is for tue moment tabooed as vul
gar. But fushiou, alas! only repents of
her sins to commit the same over again,
and the pointed toes will probably be
forced upon us again long before the
feet crippled by the last batch can bo
cured, lu the meantime, while common
sense aud fashiou go hand in hand, we
must make the best of our day of op
portunity. Many Insults are offered to those
faithful, hard-working servants, the
feet, besides couliuemeut in narrow,
crumped aud Ul-Ottiug shoes. We talk
learnedly of the necessity for ventila
tion, aud then we shut the feet Into tight
Imprevious leather and expect them to
bear up the weight of our bodies all day
long without a grumble and without a
breath of air. Or we take pains to have
our shoes loug enough, and then put on
socks or stocklugs half an Inch too
short and wonder where tbe corns
come from.
Almost as necessary as the proper
clothing of the feet Is the proper toilet
At least morning aud night they should
be bathed aud then manipulated to
keep them smooth aud supple. Stock
ings should be changed frequently, be
cause the feet owing to their constant
coutluement and the hard work they
are called upon to do, are always per
spiring. The same pair of shoes should
not be worn tw o days lu succession. It
is an easy matter to have two pairs lh
use on alternate days and Is excellent
economy besides, as It gives the shoes
a chance to become perfectly dry, and
consequently they keep In better shape
and lust longer.
erv hot water, unless ordered for
medicinal purposes, should not be used,
as It has a tendency to soften the feet
and make them tender. A little
ait.0hol well rubbed lu after tbe bath is
good, especially for those who are
much exposed to bad weather, as it
gives them tone and prevents too pro
fuse perspiration.
Finally, there should be no amateur
