GROUND HOG CORRECT.
TINE LITTLE ANIMAL A DUBE
WEATHER RBORRET.AND
WINTER STILL REHAlNb.

Just at this time, with the thermome.
eter c.OSe to zero, many persons are
discussing the sagacity Of the ground
hogs predictions, and disbe levers in
the old time sign are beginning to re.
lent, and the little animal II fast gain
ing new recruits TO those who have
faith in his predictions. Many will
now say that the ground hog was right
when be discreetly turned tail three
weeks sgo and went back into his hole.
Those who persisted In doubling the
phenomenal accuracy Of the little four
legged weather prophet were fully con-
WINGED Of bis sagacity on Thursday
night, when it became apparent that
Jack Frost intended to celebrate the
extra day of leap year with . genuine
old blizzard that must have been left
over from his January stock.
In few hours the mercury dropped
below freezing point, and the dirty
streets solidifed into little ruts and
mounds, spring overcoats disappeared
and their warmer predecessors substi-
tuted, while furs and heavy gloves
were again brought out and coat col
lars we're turned up with great unaIi-
nifty. The wind that sprang up in the
afternoon increased to gale, and the
swinging signs had q hard time OF it,
many Of the little fellows whirling
themselves clear over the suspending
rods In their frantic efforts to get to
leeward. Peopls who retired early,
we're not to be left in peace, for the
creakinR of doors and banging of shut
ters broke their slumber to consider
able extent and fully reminded them
that the ground hog Is a phophet whose
representations are ~ be respected.
Thus the weather continued throughout
night and Friday; the extra
day of leap year, was ushered In with
the wind still blowing a gale and the
mercury ranging only few degrees
above zero. 1t varied slightly, how.
ever, during the day, and rose several
degrees, but by evening it began to!
fall ;the wind died cut and ice began
TO form very rapidly.
The streets were almost deserted last
nights and those who were compelled to
venture out, proceeded along at lively
gait and we're not long in moving from
one house to another, wherever busi-
ness or pleasure called. This sudden
cold snap is likely to continue several
days, if not weeks, and those who
thought that recent thunder shower
was the forerunner Of an early spring
and that the back of winter had been
broken, were very much mistaken, and
no doubt feel like kicking themselves
for undertaking to surmise anything IN
reference TO the weather AT this particu-
lsr time, when 1t has been 80 very de-
ceptive.

CLOSE OF THE DOG SEASON.

fact is, the dog thieves select the best Of
them before we can get hold OF them, anG
sell them. Then there is another thing

They don't let them fall into the hands OF

among them. But these are generally
claimed by the owners, and in this way ]

Mr.. McMahon opened little door that
led into an open lot near the river. and on
little raised piece Of turf was a hillock
Of dogs that had ceased from barking and
troubling. They were all y oung dogs OF
no particular breed, but of about every
variety Of color, and were mostly 'tramp"
dogs.

"Send them to Barren Island, TO the ma.
nure works there"
"What Is done with them there"
"Well, they strip the skin off, and they
get from fifty cents TO dollar for that.
Then they take all their insides out, and
there is very little Of that they don't use.
The fat is bottled. Dog fat is quite q
medicine. Men and women come here for

feet, of course, and, declare that nobody
could tell their flesh from lamb by It's ap-
pearance, and some folks would not find II

application OF dog tat"
"The pound is closed eariier than usual

"Yes, about month earlier; we gen.

The Reservoir System os Measure OF fa'

The Federal Government will soon test
the value OF the reservoir system as
navigable throughout the year. At Ger.

that great difficulty is experienced in run.

United States engineers, who reported in

handsome appropriation each year since
to carry 1t out. The engineers who have
been busy on this work have just com.
pleted the FIRST portion, the building OF the
dam at Lake Winnebagoshish, a work
which they have prosecuted continuously
for eighteen months.
The theory Of the reservoir sy stem is as
follows: The Mississippi at that point,
two hundred miles above St Paul, winds
through a succession OF marshes and now
and then spreads out In broad shallow
lakes, so that the back water from this
dam covers an immense area. The reser.
voirs formed by this dam-there are TO be
six others--will be sufficient 10 store up
the greater portion Of the rainfan OF the
storage area, estimated at i7,400 square
miles. When the river begins TO fall,
enough water can be discharged from
these reservoirs TO at least double the or.
binary maximum dow for one hundred
days, so that at no time will the river be
so low as TO prove detrimental to naviga.

It will prove practical success, and the
actual test, soon TO be made, viii be the

during my experience with worsteds and

ladies really dotted on him. Young men
