ANTICS OF RED SQUIRRELS.

Squirrels, frolicsome race, have not generally been classed among the preda- tory vermin, like rats and other destructive creatures; but 1t seems they can, and do, make themselves quite as great nuis- ance, when they are in the mood. We hear of fruit-growers in Connecticut whose strawberry beds are raided by red squir- rels. These active and daring little fel- lows rob the vines of great quantities of berries, and do not even wait, in some cases, for the fruit to get ripe. Their strawberry appetite, an unsuspected pos- session, is so marked as to render them, in one or two instances that have been re- ported to the Times, really rrinous pest
 These cases have just occurred within twenty miles of this city. Others, doubt- less, could be reported. Another tempta- tion to these nimble rodents, oddly enough, is the ripening crop of cherries. Without waiting for the fruit to ripen on the tree, tho red squirrels have in some instances stripped off for the sake of eating out the kernel ill the pit, or 'stone" -gnawing in- to that as readily as they gnaw into the hard shell of butternut. In some places their raids upon the cherries has proved more destructive than the 30th of May frost. That frost, it now appears, is like ly to leave squirrels short of their usual fall store of nuts. It killed off the chest nuts, the walnuts, and the butternuts, to serious extent, throughout Connecticut; and of course it was not less destructive in the region immediately north of this state. The hazle- nut bushes seem to have fared little better; the squirrels, no doubt, will make the most of the hazle-nuts-bu these alone cannot furnish their winters SUD- ply; and the prospect seems to be hard fn1 fIpl orhn frio oF the bushy tail.
 In one case, which happ ened this summer in Holland county, the red squirrels-who, like all of their kindred, are lovers of the haunts of men, and are only made wild by the general and merciless slaughter car- ried on by ''sportsmen'- by long immunity in their romps about the farmers trees and dooryard, finally got in- to the old house itself They entered by some crevice about the caves and worked their way through the timber and wood work of the wall into the old attic. This was one of the old farm house attics still to be found in the most parts of New Eng land, and which are generally given over to the silent reign of cobwebs and the once prized but now cast-off worldly possessions of an earlier time, like the old hetchell and spinning wheel, the ponderous old printed sermons and theological arguments, and all the useless and forgotten old trumpery and lumber of by-gone day. This quiet and sheltered place the squirrels found so much to their liking, that they called in their sisters, their cousins, and their aunts, and took possession by right of eminent domain. Here they held such obstreperous nocturnal revels, out ut-Heroding the wicked ness of the most reckless rats, that the family below found it impossible to sleep with any sort of comfort, and at last, in sheer desperation and that self protection

"Few people know how to cook water, Charles Delmonico used to affirm. "The secret is in putting good, fresh water into neat kettle, already quite warm, and set ting the water to boiling quickly, and then taking it right off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks, before it is spoiled To let it steam and simmer and evaporate until the good water is all in the atmosphere, and the lime and iron dregs only left in the kettle, bah that is what makes great many people sick, and is worse than no water at all'
