The Crested Screamer. J was surprised to run across an old acquaintance up at the- zoo the other day. The last time I saw him was in the lower part of Brazil when I was trying to push Yankee notions," said a commercial traveler. "This acquaint ance is known as crested screamer. He is one of the best fighters I ever bet my money on. He Is about as large as a turkey and as spry as they make 'em when his fighting blood' is up. He has four sharp spurs instead of two, and the odd thing is the spurs are on the wings instead of the legs. The birds ran wild, but the natives tamed them and taught them to fight hawks and other enemies of poultry. They are fine poultry protectors. A fight, between two of them is the most exciting thing in the way of sport down there and is more popular than a cockfight." New York Sun. A Grewsome "Charm. One of the most grewsome 'charms" is that which was at one time exten sively used as a cure for wens. The hand of a dead criminal still hanging had to be rubbed three times over the wen. A correspondent in London Notes and Queries some few years since wrote that many persons were then living who in their younger days had undergone the ceremony, always, they maintained, with complete suc cess. "On execution days at North ampton," he adds, "numbers of suffer ers used to congregate around the gallows in order to receive the 'dead stroke as it was termed. At the last execution which took place in that town a very few only were operated upon, not so much in consequence of decrease of faith as from the higher fee demanded by the hangman' To Help Out.
