Oddities of the Porcupine.

A recent writer speaks Of it as the
"ouiet. inoffensive little creature that
curls itself into a ball at the first APP
proach of an enemy" | have seen thou
sands of them in our pine woodS-not so
very little, but inoffensive, unless you
object to their appetite for pack straps,
shoes and salt pork. But whoever saw
one curl itself up into ball when mo-
Tested.
If you bother pOrcupine he will make
a few awkward attempts at gallop to-
ward the nearest tree, raising the quill
on his back somewhat as dog "briStleS
his crest" when excited. After reach
ing his tree he will make short work of
putting himself out of reach of all
weapons Of shorter range than firearms.
The tradition about his rolling him
self into Il ball, although not so bad as
the quill shooting story, is, think, en-
tirely wrong when attributed to the
American porcupne. | think this be-
lief comes from the books, where the
habits of the English hedgehog are de-
scribed. This | understand to be a
much smaller animal than ours, feeding
on insects and perhaps fruit.
Our porcupine has for a steady diet
the bark Of trees, usually maple, but
around old logging camps he finds such
delicacies as old boot packs, pork bar
rels, and cook house slush; in fact, any
thing containing salt or fat in any form.
He is an adroit thief, and If you give
him chance will steal pack strap or
a shoe from under the walls OF your
tent while you are dreaming on your
bed of balSam or hemlock boughs.

A Sure Cure for rheumatism.

have personal knowledge of cases
OF rheumatism in this vicinity that
have been Immediately relieved and
permanently cured by Chamberlain's
Pain Balm after other remedies were
used without any benefit. | have been
handling the Pain Balm for the past
five wears and have never had any Gus
toner express anything but words OF
praise for the medicine. 1t has been
my experience that any customer who
once uses Chamberlain's Pain Balm Will
have nothing else when again in need
of such medicine. +. w. Potter, post
