How 1Iuskrats Are Trapped.

Trapping is one of the modes by which
muskrats are secured. The traps are
made of boards about inches wide and
3 feet long. These are nailed together
like an ordinary box trap, the open ends
being secured by swinging doors of wire
network, fastened to the upper part of
both entrances. These doors allow easy
ingress to the trap, but once in the rat
cannot get out without opening the door
by pulling it to him, which secret they
seem very slow to discover. These traps
are put in the leads running from the
houses to the water when the tide is at
low ebb and the rats are out feeding.
On the return they crawl up the leads,
push against one of the wire doors of
the trap, which Immediately opens into
the trap, but they cannot go further, as
the next door opens toward them. Be
fore they can gnaw out the tide makes
up and they are drowned in the trap.
By having a number of traps and watch
ing the tides closely trapper can cap
ture large number in this wav.-Balti-

Two Men Who Were Graduated Early

wood of New York. These men were
in the military service of the United
States at a time which now seems like
ancient history, and have seen the re-
public grow from a nation of 100000
to one of IS, 900, 900, and yet they are in
fairly good health, and one of them was
in very active service in the civil war.
General Greene was born in Warwick,
r. l., May 6, 1901 and was graduated from
West Point as No. 2 in the class of 1898.
He served in the Fourth United States
artillery for twelve years, then resigned
and acted as civil engineer twenty-six
years. When the civil war began he re-
entered the service as colonel of the
Sixtieth New York, being soon after
commissioned brigadier general. He
led his brigade in many battles. and at
Wauhatchie, Ga, was shot in the face
by a mimic ball, which caused the loss
of all his teeth and changed him rather
suddenly to an old man. After several
years more in civil engineering he re-
tired from active life, and is living with
daughter in New Jersey.
Colonel William G. Young was born
Nov. 25, 1899, in northern Ohio, was grad
uated from West Point in 1922 and served
four years as lieutenant of artillery. Be-
fore entering West Point he had done
some work as an engineer and after 1926
made that his life work. He never en-
tered the military service again and re-
tired from active business in 1857. He
lives with his family at 1853 West Twenty
fourth street, New York.

What "Uncle Isaac" Was Doing.

Tommy was sent off on an errand one
morning to farm lying just on the edge
of the town, the owner of which was IA
miliarly known as "Uncle Isaac" The
hour was rather early, and when he ar
rived such members of the large family
as could be spared without seriously in
terfering with the running of the domes-
tic machinery were gathered for family
worship.
Returning home, his mother ques-
toned him about his errand, and with
the curiosity about ones neighbors which
takes deep root in village soil, she asked
him what was going on at the farm. He
told her of the occupations of one and
another, and added, ''and Uncle Isaac,

Green SIOths.

The sloths at the Geological gardens
are not quite so green as they were when
they first arrived. We do not refer to
their growing recognition of the fact
that nuts and buns are not suitable food
for an arboreal creature which subsists
upon leaves, but to literal change Of
color. 1t is most remarkable fact that
the sloth has in the wild state green hair,
which causes it to resemble, as it clings
to a branch, an excrescence of that
branch covered with greenish gray IL
ehens. In this way the sloth may perhaps
sometimes escape the keen eye of a ia
guar.
1t is still more remarkable that the
green color is not resident in the hair it.
self, but is due to the presence of guam
titles of minute green plants; and this
explains how it is that in captivity the
sloth changes color; the plants, deprived
of the damp heat Of their native forests,
die, and are not replaced, so the peculiar
gray green which is so characteristic of
the sloth is changed to a brownish gray.

Evolution of the Saddle.

The evolution from cloth coverings to
the saddle were as gradual as they were
natural, finally bringing us to the saddle
of today, consisting of the wooden frame
known as the saddletree, the skirts or
padded underfaps, the seat generally
made of tanned pigskin), the girth or
belly band, the stirrup straps, the STIR
rups and the crupper loop. This CON-
bination is the saddle proper, no matter
how varied its shape, how near its ap-
proach to elegance on the one hand or
to awkwardness on the other.-Detroit

The Sailors Friend.

Mr.. Samuel Plimsoll still keeps to his
house in Park lane, and is far from well.
but he has sufficiently recovered himself
to be able to write letter claiming one
result-or rather the want of result-of
the recent storm to legislation. Has
there ever been remembered, he asks, a
gale of equal suddenness, violence and
duration which was not the cause of
very, very much greater loss of life than
that recorded of the gale which has re-
Gently passed away?
A year and eight months ago, when he
was fervently urging the government to
assist in passing the load line bill, it was
shown that the deplorable loss of life at
sea from overlooking was entirely pre-
ventable, and that the passing of the
bill would Immediately check it, while,
when the act was steadily and uniformly
administered, this head of loss would
disappear. He points triumphantly to
the recent gale for confirmation.-Liver

Vacation EXPEDITIONS.

It is not new thing for students in
vacation to make scientific expeditions
on their own account, combining camp
ing and ''roughing it, with congenial
study, but an expedition of the kind
which was successfully carried out dur
ing the vacation season of the present
year deserves to be noted as of especial
Importance and significance.
A party consisting of a professor and
several students of Bowdoin college, in
Maine, organized an expedition to Lab
rador to study the vegetable and animal
growths, and otherwise to gain scien-
tific knowledge of the country.
1t was also planned, incidentally, to
ascend the Grand river to the great cata-
ract. The Grand river flows from the
high plateau of northern Labrador, and
the falls by which it reaches the lower
level to flow into the Atlantic ocean are
among the grandest on the continent.
The Bowdoin college expedition was
fitted out at the expense of alumni and
friends of the college.
The Grand river was assembled, the
great cataract viewed and photographed
and its height ascertained. The students
who succeeded in pushing as far up as
the falls suffered many privations, but
won deserved honor in the successful
prosecution of their enterprise.
Their achievement is a good example
for other American colleges and students.
Much important information remains to
be gathered about the less known por-
tions of our continent, and geological,
botanical and geological researches, faith.
fully carried on, may always be made
scientifically profitable and valuable,
even upon ground which has been GOV.
cred before.-Youth's Companion.

While at my heart grows keen the pain,

Pleasant Games for Evenings.

A pleasant game for an evening at
home, among few reading people and
their neighbors, is called Quotations. :"
A card with some appropriate lines may
announce the evening to your friends,
and for an hour the hostess or some one
else assigned the duty may read quota
tons, the guests giving the author.
Well known lines should be written on
slips of paper and put in pretty ribbon
basket. The guests are seated in circle,
and after the first quotation one is given
a minute to name the author. If he
fails, the reader gives the right name
and No. reads the next quotation and
passes to his next neighbor.
To give variety an authors name may
be given, and a point is made by the first
one who responds with a quotation from
that writer; or a subject may be given
and appropriate quotations called for.
The one making the greatest number of
points wins the game. Another game
that calls for quick thought is called
Observation" On the card given to
each person is list of ten articles that
he is given ten seconds each to see. An
evening devoted to curios, after the
fashion of some of the clubs, is also both
delightful and profitable. Each guest
brings curio and tells the history of it.
In the same manner geographical
club sometimes varies its evenings by
having each member bring picture OF
some spot where he has travelled and
give little talk about it.-New York

Fighting a Fashionable Dressmaker.

In reference to obstinacy in dress
makers for carrying out ideas had an
amusing experience. My sisters stay in
Paris was too short for my dressmaker
to undertake all she wanted made For
the best things we went to big dress
maker, whose Importance lies in great
pretensions. Among the things ordered
there was one for which 1 wanted my
own way. The woman exclaimed: "But
that is not practical. You women have
ideas, but they can't be carried out"
well, if it cannot be carried out I will
be responsible for spoilt cloth if there be
any," 1 knew she opposed it because
the idea was not her own, and that it did
not go to swell the bill with yards of
lace, feathers, furs, passementerie, etc.
She consented at last; the dress was a
great success. A few weeks after had
occasion to call on the dressmaker, and
what was my surprise to find several
dresses in the showroom with my idea
very practically carried out, and what
was my greater surprise, when the wom-
an came in, to find she was wearing my
idea practically demonstrated on her
own back.-Brooklyn Eagle.
