THE PRICKLY PORCUPlNE.

Tho Ancient Story About His Rollln:
Himself Into Ball.
A recent writer speaks of it as the
quiet inotfensive little creature that
curls itself into a ball at the first ap
proach of an enemy I have seen
thousands of them in cur pine woods
not so very little, but inoffensive, un-
less you object to their appetite for
pack straps, shoes and salt pork. But
whoever saw one curl itself into ball
when tnolested?
If you bother a porcupine he will
make a few awkward attempts at a
gallop toward the nearest tree, raising
the quill on his back somewhat as a
dog ''bristles his crest when excited.
After reaching 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 a ball, although not so bad as
the quill shooting story. is, l think,
entirely wrong when attributed to the
American porcupine. 1 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, feed
ing on insects and perhaps fruit.
Our porcupine has for 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 a chance will steal a
pack-strap or a shoe from under the
walls of your tent while you are
dreaming on your bed of balsam or
hemlock boughs. Forest and Stream.

A crlNAMAN AS MAIL.
The Astute Mongolian Received From
Canada at tho Detroit ONCE.


Canada at tho Detroit Ohlce.
A handsome, maroon colorel> bot
wagon carries the royal mail &NMeei
Windsor and Detroit It is OPEN FAMILY
at the rear end. and the doors which
close that end are kept securely locked.
Besides two postmasters only the Gus
toms officials on each end have a key
to these doors.
A few weeks ago William Henry
Offut the dignified and garrulous
colored official who sweeps the Wind
sor postotfice and makes up the mails,
was performing the latter duty. 1t
was evening and, of course, it was
dark. William Henry Offut is natur-
ally timid when, as in this case, he is
alone in the big postoffice at night.
His nervousness was increased when
the back door began to creak and
slowly open. 4
"Niah goodness chartered William
Henry. "wo-wot's de meanin' O. dat?
MINUS be wa'nin' of trib-lation,
sho'."
Imagine William Henry Offut's re-
lief and surprise. when, instead of
of some ghostly visitor. the yellow
face of Il Chinaman appeared.
''G'way fun dab, you fool yaller
man, g'way" shouted William Henry,
who had become once more brave.
''Oh goodee blaclSee man. me good
ee. Me wantee askee you. Me want
sleep in shed. Alice lightee?'
"Ya-as, guess you kin sleep in de
shaid, if yo' don't hurt nothin'."
"Goodee blackce man, me cold. Me
wantee blag. Me givee blag back to.
-mollow.n
We'll, all guess you kin have de
bag yaller face.'
The generous Henry handed out {,
mail bag, and the Mongol curled him
self up in the rear of the Office and
went to sleep--apparently.
The next day, when the driver OF
the mail cart was going through
Woodbridge street, Detroit, he heard
noise in the wagon.
He turned just in time to see Chi
naman who much resembled the one
who had interviewed William Henry
the previous evening, jump from the
wagon and disappear.
The cunning heather had come over
inside the mailbag, and had thus es-
capped the vigilance of the United
States Customs officers.
The Canadian postoffice authorities
were notified. They determined that
no more contraband humanity should
get into Uncle Sans territory in this
way. Hence the. brand-new locked
wagon.-Detroit Journal.

PENSIONS PoR CoNFEDERATEs.-
On the fret day of February. 1891
the bill for the relief of the widows
OF Confederate Veterans becomes
effective in Georgia. This bill was
passed by the last Legislature in
pursuance of an amendment to the
State Constitution which was rati-
fed by popular vote OF the peo-
pie last October. The provisions
of the bill are, in brief, that each
and every soldier who served In
the Confederate army during the
late war, and every weman who
became the wife of a soldier, eth
er before or during the war shall
be allowed a yearly pension of
500 from the State. The law
does not apply TO widows of veter.
ans WHO were married after the
close of the war. There was an
attempt made TO amend the bill by
