THE MOLE.
A Natural Architect and Sure subter-

FRO BE CONTINUED ]

A Natural Architect and Sure subter-
raneau Builder.
The mole is splendid architect and
sure builder 1t constructs perfect
subterranean galleries. The nest is a
wonderful building, bearing immedi-
ately above it as much earth thrown up
as would fill a moderately-sized wheel
barrow. The soil roof of the nest is
so strong that an OK NAV with safety
stand on it, in spite of its being sur
rounded and intersected by runs, by
which the family can separately escape
in case of sudden danger. In one !
saw there were at least, within a foot
from the nest, four main runs, and
these main runs again had three imme.
diate branch runs toward the nest from
the wheat field, making twelve within
two feet Of the nest, while there were
many escape runs toward the surface
for hiding. A favorite place for nests
is about old broad hedge-roots,
where the moles have plenty Of room,
and where their nests are concealed by
the underground, which again protects
their surface runs from being trampled
by the hoofs Of horses or cattle. And
the moles nesting on either side Of the
hedge stick religiously to their own
side of the field. Between the nest and
the water there is a main run, and Ia
an inexperienced eye its ,only distin.
gushing feature is that it is somewhat
more direct than the other runs. But
the mole catcher observes it In an in,
slant, and he catches most moles there
at the time when the moles are return.

is wonderful how the moles find theil

the distance they travel every twenty

Moles multiply very fast; they pair fol

every year; and they are among tn,

Turtle oil Is suggested as u substitute for
cod liver oil. The oil is OF a yellowish color,
and at the ordinary temperatures in this
country forms a thick, finely granular fluid,

clear and transparent. It possesses little
odor or taste, and does not quickly turn
rancid. Taken In warm milk It is not 80 OBJ

The altar OF roses OF is produced
on a large scale In the Turkish province OF
Roumella, and principally on the warm
southern slopes Of the Balkans. The same
article is also made in Tunis, India and Per
STA and the south OF France, but the guam
tity produced Is small and tho prices so high

altar is made from the rosa damascina by
distillntion. Tho color OF the rose is gener-
ally rcd, though sometimes white, AMI

on trees that average about six feet high.
which are not only planted in rows, but are
tended zealously from autumn till mIdsum-
mer. The flowers when in fun bloom arc
plucSed before sunrise, sometimes with,
sometimes without the calyx, but
only in such quantities as can be distilled
on tho day that they are plucked.
Tho still Is a plain timed apparatus, from
which a long curved tube is directed
through n tub OF water, and into a large
bottle. The still stands on n stone hearth
and usually in the shade of trees near a run
ming stream. The firing Is done by wood.
The stills hold from tyventy-f five to fifty
pounds Of roses, which are covered with
twice that quantity OF water and boiled half
an hour. The distilled liquid that passes
over into the bottle Is allowed TO stand,
when the altar rises on the surface and is
SKINNED Off, the water ultimately being
sold as at Constantinople. The
altar Is kept in copper cans and the rose
water In bottles.
A roso tree is at its best at its fourth year,
an acre OF 4-year-old trees producing from
one to two tons OF flowers, and 1000 pounds
OF flowers producing one pound Of altar.
Much depends on the spring weather, as
rains and frost lily affect the bloom. In
very sunny seasons $500 pounds have pro-
duced a pound Of altar. Every peasant dis
tills his own roses, and the average Rou-
melian crop is about 900 pounds of tho pure
yellow altar, nothing being said Of the ar
ticlo adulterated by oil Of geranium, which
contains but 10 per cent OF tho altar.

An Illustration OF How the Sons Of Faust

Become Skeptical and cynical
John swinton's Paper.l
The sons OF Faust are apt to be a skeptical,
cynical crew. They SEQ so many sides OF
life, and so far into them all, that they are
in danger OF assuming a fixed attitude OF
~incredulity OF mockery, and OF losing all
their enthusiasm.
Look how they "box the compass as they
pass from office to office, Take for example
Pop Rednose, who Is now turning forty. He
got his first job as an apprentice on The
Evangelist, and set up so many sermons
urging him to repent that he determined to
pecome a saint He had just reached thai
point, when he got the sack. His next job
was on Able McMaster's Catholic Regis
ter. which soon led him to doubt
the truth OF P~rotestantism, and brought
him TO the very edge OF the ancient Roman
church. He had just about made up his
mind IN favor OF ~auricular confession, when
a dirty proof Of ons OF the Abbe's illegible
editorials landed him ON the sidewalk. His
next sit was on The Truth Seeker, which
soon brought him TO a total unbelief in all
sorts Of religion. He became a sub on Ths
Times. which made him a Republican and
sent him to the war, but came back to a case
on Manton Marbles World. and soon turned
up as n solid Democrat He left the dailies,

IN The Wine and Spirit Merchant,
where he set up the praises OF the
ruby" and saw it was necessary
10 his health. He soon got a weekly
job On n moral reform paper, spent his time
over copy against the tobacco habit, and de-
termlned TO throw away his pipe; but he
got n fatter thing on The Tobacco Leaf,
where he read every day OF the charms OF
the Virginia weed, 10 which he soon re-
turned. From an allopathic weekly, which
led him 10 take calomel with his regular
diet, he went to a homeopathic monthly,
which taught him To never go beyond tho
millionth trituration OF IA speck. After a
while Freemasonry was tho thing, as he put
in type an article on the t~hirty-ninth de-
gree, and latterly he has been disposed in
favor Of civil service reform. as be thinkers
