ORIGIN OF BREEDS.

The First Homes of the Different Families
Of Cattle.
Investigations into the origin of diff
ferent families or breeds of plants or
animals, have a natural attraction for
all who have an interest either in one
or the other. Whenever, indeed, our
interest is excited in any thing, the
natural curiosity, common to us all,
stimulates inquiry as to its origin and
antecedents. Consequently, while re-
search into the origin of the various
breeds of cattle, as into the various
races of the human family, do not
seem likely to result in any practical
utility, they will continue and be inter-
esting inst as long as men continue TO be
interested in the animal or the human
races. Under the heading of Scraps"
correspondent of the London Lire
Stock Journal, contributes most reada-
bic matter in the varied form indicated
by the title he has given to his contri-
buttons. In a recent issue he makes
mention of a work by German scien-
inst, Victor Helm, entitled 1.-The

The Craving Of Maine and Canadian Woods
men for Something Sour.
1t is curious what an appetite for
something sour men have who eat a
great deal of fat food. Generally in
the numbering region large quantity
of raspberries or blueberries are picked
and put down in tubs to sour for win
ter use. But that year had been poor
berry year-scarcely any had been
gathered. pickles! pickles!" was the
cry, morning noon and night. There
were twenty-six choppers of the camp,
all calling for "pickles. can eff yer
can't git us roz-briz git antsr' So the
cook sent Al Churchill and 1.-The
youngest two members in the camp
off into the woods after great ants-for
pickles. 1t may seem rather odd, to
say the least, that anybody could have
the stomach to eat so ugly an insect as
a big, black ant. But it is not infre-
quently done in the numbering camps
of Northern Maine and Canada. / did
muster courage to chew one up once.
1t had fine, acid flavor, by no means
unpleasant, if one could keep his eyes
shut. Rough fellows, like the lumber
men, are not very fastidious. The
cook gave us a six-quart tin pail and
cover TO get the ants in. AL took an
old gun which was kept at the camp to
shoot cartridges and other game, and /
took an Ak to cut open the old logs and
stumps with. We set off for q tract
where the fire had run years before,
and where old pine trunks lay scattered
in decay on the ground as they fell.

ants living in tunnels and galleries
which they had cut inside. In Septem-

called Barbara just in that way.

fairly running over now; "she ought

Mamma stroked the bonny brown
hair lovingly and smiled, though
she was little puzzled herself; because
Bah and Jennie had always been the
very best of friends.
Haven't you said or doHe some
thoughtless thing, dearf Think hard,
now"
But Bah shook her head once more,
decidedly.

THAT isn't the right way to feel,
dear" Mrs. Tyler said, sitting down
to rub Dotty's poor little sprained
ankle; land that wouldn't be the right
thing to do, either. 1 guess we won't
say any more about it, now"
But Bah thought all the more. She
was so vexed and disappointed! and
she couldn't help thinking that Jennie
Hopkins was the very meanest girl
that ever lived and breathed. Dotty,
looking at her sister, saw her lips shut
up tight and a little frown grow be-
tween her eyes, and she knew just as
well as she wanted to, that Bah meant
TO send the valentine after all.
And so. she did. She went down
that very afternoon and bought one OF

envelope she could find TO send it in.
