The full-grown ferret is ABOUT fourteen
lnc"cs long, and is noted for its great
strengto and boldness. Ferrets are bred
quite extensively in Europe for hunting
rabbits, rats and mice. Though regarded
as domesticated animalt the ferret is far
f. ON docile, and never shows an affection
for those who care for it. The natural
instinct of the animal is so strong that it
does not need TO be trained to attack its
prey, though practice improves the ami
NAL in its work, the chief gain being IN
allowing themselves to be caught. The
ferret is always muzzled to prevent 1t
from killing Its prey: if this precaution.
is not taken, it will suck the blood of It's
victim and fall into sleep from which it
will not arouse until the food is digested.
When sent out muzzled, the ferret will re-
turn after the hunt to receive food. 1t
runs into the burrows of the rabbits, for
which animal the ferret seems to have a
natural enmity, and drives the timid crea-
lures out, where they they are caught IN
nets and snares set for them. A ferret
will soon rid house of rats and mice, and
it is for this reason principally that the an
NAL is now bred and cared for by man..

Few are the orators who know when
to stop talking.
Strong language utterly fails to bolster
q weak argument.
The destiny of life is developed with

How quick the old are forgotten by
the young.
No one is fatigued after the exercise
of forebearance,
Impatience dries the blood sooner than
age or sorrow.

An avaricious man can have no high

Liberty can be safe when suffrage Is
Illuminated by education.

fulness of engineer James Murphy in charge
Of the north bound passenger express (Which
passes this station at 11:lO \. M at North

at the latter named station, and was run
nngalong at about thirty-five miles an hour,
ascending the grade towards the station
when the engineer discovered 4 hundred
yards or more ahead that the private switch
of the Mccullough Iron Company was open
He immediately used every means to stop
his train but the distance was too short and
it ran upon the siding. At about Il hundred
yards from the Junction an empty freight
car stood upon the siding. This the engine
OF the passenger car struck, damaging the
engine considerably, but as the headway of
tie train had been greatly checked the dam
aye was slight, The engineer and tremen
jumped before the euglGa struck the car, and
these two We're the only persons injured
The former considerably bruised but not
disabled. The latter quite badly hurt. En-
gineer Murphy, assisted by an employe of
the train took it forward. ! the train

tore it from it's f;lStGnings and pushed it
along the bed of the track before it for two
hundred yards, making the stone ballast of

some injury to one limb, while John Nc
