PRICE THREE CENTS.

fox appears. Suddenly they stop, for
sly Reynard has caught a sniff of the
muskets and doesn't care to go in that
direction any further. He is off to
another hill perhaps two miles away.
The dogs soon strike the new trail,
and the hunt begins again. By this
time the hunters get to the distant,
hill, the fox has perhaps gone once
around and is now on the opposite
side. This time they select their po-
sitions with more care, and where the
fox will neither see them nor scent
them on the wind. But now new
difficulty presents itself, the hounds
have lost the trail on the other side.
Perhaps the fox has doubled on the
trail"-that is, he has carefully re-
traced his steps for many rods and
then by wide leap placed several
yards between him and the trail. He
is now ready to go back to his former
course or to any other that suits his
fancy.
The hounds will perhaps find the
new trail, perhaps not. If they do,
the game has gained long distance
and is at leisure to devise other means
of escape. AS he is not particularly
pressed, perhaps he will leap upon
some rail-fence and run along the top
rail for distance; or perhaps he will
wade in the running water of some
brook, where 10 scent Is left. Another
of his devices is to rush over q field
where farmers are blowing or harrow
ing; or through flock of sheep or
cattle where the scent will be con-
fused. The hunt Will often continue
thus for all day, with no results; and
when night comes aggravating Rey-
nard will run into some friendly bur-
row. Then the hunters, if their pa
thence has held out that long, will go
home Disguised that they have been
outwitted. Often, to be sure, these
hunts are successful, and the hunter
proudly bears back the yellow brush"
as the trophy of his skill; but in the
majority of cases, as our experience
goes, Reynard himself continues to
possess that golden appendage.
The cunning of the fox is, to our
mind, satisfactory proof of his rea-
soning powers. If instinct" alone
can enable him thus to escape his enc
mics, then certainly instinct manifests
itself as precisely the same thing as
reason. Is there, then, any real diff
ference between instinct and reason,
between the intelligence that guides
the fox in escaping, and the intelli-
gence that guides the hunter in pur-
suing? If there is such difference, it
certainly is not very evident.

The Pottery Exhibition.

were slanting through the long win
dows of room in the Pottery where
the finished work was placed. The
morrow would be Exhibition Day."
when this work was to be sent out
into the great busy world.
At first thought it would seem that
the exhibition must have been held
down in the dark basement of the
building, where the fresh clay awaited
the potter's forming hand, but even
that was not the clay's starting-point,
1t is not easy to reach back to the be-
ginnings of things.
From the darkness up to the light of
this perfect pure day, there had been q
long process of washing and grinding
while powerful magnetic Influence
had been brought to bear upon the
mass, in order to remove the heavy
unyielding iron, which, if suffered to
remain would certainly produce flaws
in the finished work.
The kneading and the shaping had
been laborious and painstaking, else
no perfect result need be expected.
After that the trial period had come,
when each separate vessel must be
subjected to the refining and strength
ening influence of fire; else would
the frail clay never be able to stand
md endure. Sometimes, even with
the utmost care, flaw will show it
self in a hitherto unsupported place
whose unsoundness had been proved
by the fire test, and, as in the ancient
lime, not every finished vessel could
Justly be marked. sine cerG."

Just think, boys, Of going fishing with
a fish to do the sculling Naturally Tom
was kept quite busy towing fishing
parties, and he worked all the better
when he had plenty to do. A vacation
of two or three days would make him
behave like colt the next time he went
out.
At first he would rush off at great
rate, drawing two men in a good-sized
boat nearly as fast as one could row,
but he would soon cool down until he
hardly wanted to stir at all.
Work every day was what Tom needed
to make him willing and steady, and if
he habit he was a model of good be-
havior.
Of course great many other boys
thought it would be fine to have a trained
fish, and many surgeons were caught and
petted, but all in vain. None of them
could be induced to work, and Harry

known of his history from the time he
was sold. Harry was forced to part
with his pet because the Millers moved

dollars he received was poor recon-

1t is said that alcohol equal TO that
made from grain can be produced from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely; then they are
mashed with malt, and allowed to fer

per cent OF starch and eight per cent
OF gluten. They would be a valuable
article for human food if it were not
for the fannie acid (about three per
cent. which they contain. Vast guam
