We are accustomed TO lavishlng a great
deal of sympathy on the fox that is chased
over hill and dale, through wood and
meadow. by packs Of hounds and red coat
ed huntsmrn, and men have been known
To state their opinion that this is very
hard world because the fox gets chased all
about, but never has much sport in the
hunting line himself, which is very mis-
taken notion. If any creature gets sport
out of life il is no less being than Master
Reyuard himself, who terrorizes Brer Rab-
bit, is an iuveterate wild and tame goose
chaser and who hunter of mice is I'M
surpassed.
One fox that l was reading about short
time since retired carly from the hunt in
which it was intended he should be vic
tim, and to escape the hounds took refuge
in Il magpie's nest, while he whiled away
the hours of the afternoon eating up the
mHCpies they returned home in very fin
ished style.-Harper's Young People.

Enemies and Friends of the Farmer.

Fortunately nature has provided certain
enemies that destroy the tobacco worms.
There is kind of fly, very small, which
punches holes in the bodies of the caterpil-
lars, and lays its eggs in them. Little
worms are Matched from their eggs and
feed upon the caterpillars. finally spinning
minute cOcOOns.
Sometimes as many as a hundred of these
cocoons are found attached TO a single cat
erpillar. Planters who know what they
are about never kill the caterpillars which
they find infested with these parasites, but
leave them TO spread the trouble among
their kind. 1t is a curious fact that the
fly parasites have other parasites that feed
upon themselves, laying their eggs in the
cocoons. FlOcks of young turkeys are
often let loose in the tobacco field in order
that they may eat the caterpillars, and the
planters pay their laborers so much for
every moth they kin by striking them with
pieces of single as they are lowering over
the flowers in the twilight, which is their
time for going abroad. Hornets and wasps
also eat the caterpillars and so are friends

Many people complain that they can
not drink milb without being distressed
by it, The rc-ssun is that they drink it
too fast. If a Atass of milk is swallowed
hastily it enters .he stomach, and then
forms in one solid, curdled mass difficult
of digestion. At least four minutes
should be occupied in drinking glass of
milk, so that in reaching the stomach it
will be so distributed that when coagu-
lated, as it must be by the gastric juice,
instead of being in one hard, condensed
mass, it will be more in the form of a

Three things are necessary to remem.
Der in training any dog-frst, what he
most desires; second, what he most fears,
and third, that instinct will lead him
certainly to certain results.
Your dog desires food more than any
thing else, and the person who feeds
him most is to his apprehension his best
friend. Therefore feed him yourself.
Be cruel with him for time in order to
be kinder afterward. Starve him for
two days, tying him up and giving him
nothing whatever but water during that
time. Then feed him. You won't have
to do this more than two or three times.
Pain is the only thing he fears. After
he has learned to love you, make him
fear you. Keep a stout whip always at
hand and thrash him heartily for every
fault, especially for disobedience to your
orders, but never strike him excepting
at the moment of the offense; otherwise
he will not understand the pain and it
will do him no good.
Teach him to retrieve when he is q
puppy. You can do this readily and
easily, after having taught him always
to come to you at call. Use rubber
ball which he will run after without
coaxing, and which he will bring at call
after he has learned that call back
must always be obeyed. Never allow
him to disobey this or any other COM
mand that he can understand without
prompt punishment Pat his head and
speak kindly when he obeys.
Take him in the field with an old dog
already broken, and if his breed is good
and his nose not diseased he will follow
scent by instinct and mimic the old dog
in all his maneuvers. The only thing
to guard against is his rowing too far
afield. He will learn the field words of
command by seeing the old dog obey
them, and after two or three trials will
retrieve your birds

Queen Jumbo Has the "Thumps" and
Is PIastered Accordingly.
Queen Jumbo and Badly, the ele.
plants, attracted several thousands of
people, old and young, to the park in
San Francisco the other day.
The day was cold and lowering over
head, while the earth was damp, but
the children fondled their big friends
as enthusiastically as ever, and ex-
pended all the small change to be had
in corn and peanuts with as much
abandon as though the sun had been
shining.
Queen Jumbo had bad time little
while ago with the "thumps." When
a child suffers from chills and then be-
comes fevered and has lung trouble, it
is pneumonia, but when an elephant
suffers in the same way the trouble is
"thumps."
Queens huge bulk shivered and
shook, and she whined complainingly
until Keeper PETIT began to give her
medicine. The first dose was two gal
Ions of whisky with five ounces OF
quinine, and he had much trouble in
getting Queen to take it. The dose
did little good, and Queen grew worse
until "thumps" were plainly to be de-
tected.
Then 1t was case Of life and death,
and the keeper set to work in hurry.
He built big fire in the elephant
house and hung blankets to it until
they were red-hot and then wrapped
them around Queen.
Another man put 100 pounds OF
strong English mustard into barrel
and mixed it with water, like any other
mustard plaster is made. The mustard
was then spread on cloth and the mon
strous plasters applied to Queens
sides.
Soon her ladyship showed signs OF
uneasiness She felt along her sides
with her trunk, stepped about con-
stantly, and seemed to wonder what
was the matter. AS the mustard tool,
hold more severely Queen tried to tea-
away the bandages, and when jabbed
by the keepers hook she began
screaming like steam whistle.
The plasters were left in position for
three hours and then removed and
Queen again wrapped in hot blankets
and dosed with whisky and quinine AT
ter awhile she began to perspire, ms ele-
plants always do, through the trunk,
and her keeper knew she was saved.
