how strong Jack was for the Southern

THE MUsKRATs INTUITION.
As a Weather Prophet He Can Give Points
to General Greeley.

to General Greeley.
JudsOn Rockwell, Of Mapping, has
great confidence in the meteorological
wisdom of the festive mUskrat, and Ger
tainly has some reason for his faith,
says a Connecticut correspondents Of tho
New York Sun He believes that q
muskrat can fOresee cold weather and
foods three or fourdays in advance with
Tar more accuracy than General Greeley
can with ell his expensive weather bu-
reau.
The mu5lrat Is an odd animal, who
builds his house in the shallow water Of
a pond or InOraSs late in the fall. and his
personal comfort hinges on his ability
to fOretCll what tho weather Is going 70
I be at long range lie must know when
he puts up his comical mud hut Just
how heavy the February and spring
! freshets viii be, so that the tOpchamber
Of the house will be out Of the wet when
the frcshcts swirl about it. On sunny
days in winter when the waters Of tho
| ponds are free Of ice, tho muskrat claws
upon the subaqucOus door Of his dwell
ing and goes drifting about tho
sparkling lake, his sleek black
nose and face Just parting
the waves and leaving a long
triangular wake spreading afar as he
sails On such days he lays in a supply
/ Of trout and other fish, which he catches
expertly, lurking behind a stump or
/ rock But he must know two or three
/ days in advance of tho approach Of q
cold wave that will fctter the pond, so
| that he can retro into his hutand solid
| ly close up its submerged gate, banking
/ 1t with turf.
JudsOn Rockwell has watched musk
/ rats for many years, being a veteran
/ trapper, and his knowledge of their
/ traits enables him to predict the advent
| of cold wave with a correctness that
/ astOnishes all his ncighbCrs, who pin
their faith to tho predictions Of old
| probabilities. Early ono March while
/ Connecticut was basling in April-like
sunshine and people in all parts Of the
State were killing striped snakes and
picking dandclion greens, Judson visited
his muskrat traps and found three fine
minks in them. But il was by no means
glee On account Of his profitable capture
that irradiatcd his face as he went back
to Mapping and FASTENED TO the village
store with his budget Of news. He had
made q discovery, and as soon as he re-
covered breath enough he recounted It.
The muskrats arc closing up their
holes" said he, ''and you can bet all
you're worth we shall have a cold wave
in less than four days Now remember
that" just three days later came tho
coolest weather Of the winter, which
flung a bridge of ice four or five inches
thick across every lake.
The mUslHrat sign is new and tho cred
it Of it belongs TO Judson Rockwell, OF
Mapping.

AN APPREHENsIvE WOMAN.
Tho Awful Time the Night Clerk Had
with No. II.


A nice-lOol1ing young matrOn came in
on a late train the other night, and,
failing to find some friends she had in
the city, went to a hotel and ordered a
room, says the Detroit Free Press. When
the boy showed her to IL she asked a
good many questions and examined the
locks on the doors and windows and had
the boy look under the bed and in the
wardrobe for any leftover traveller or
burglar who might be lurking there.
Then she dismissed the boy, who re-
ported at the Office and went away for
the night
A little after midnight a bell rang
loudly over the head Of the night clerk,
who hurried up to room Il.
'Have you any precautions against
fire?" asked a muf1ed voice on the other
side of the closed door.
The clerk detailed the whole system
Of fire apparatus in the house, and
added, as a clincher;
There's 4 fro escape leading from
your window, madame, to the sidewalk.
1t is as easy to get down as rolling of a
log"
lie returned TO his desk and had Just
settled back to catch a nap when again
the bell Of No. Il rang furiOusly. He
hurried up to the room. The guest
called through the door in an alarmed
voice:
"If any one can GO down from this
room on a fire escape, what's to hinder
any one from coming up? I may be
robbed and murdered yet"
Then that perfdiOus clerk told her
that he would watch it himself and see
that no one went near it.
"But don't know you, came in sus-
ptcious tones through the closed door.
That settled it. The clerk went back
to his desk, muzzled the bell Of No. II
and sat down to wait for developments
None came, however, and at daylight he
was OF, nor did he return until he was
sure the fearful occupant Of room Il had
RESUMED her journey.
