The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. As to the badge.
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbits: They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast-often a long and com
pulsory one-in winter. SO he digs fer
them in the most businesslike manner
just like a mole. He knows where they
are e~xactly-his nose tells him that-and
in less than two minutes the fore part Of
him is buried. All you will see will be
his hind legs working vigorously a:ld IA
lot of earth moving. But he gets his
rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard to
reason with. The badger is, l know, ii.
. rule, nocturnal i'll his habits. SO is Il
fox; but where the places that they f.e-
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things. Like humans, wood
land wild creatures are governed by cir
cumstances.
l have at different times met with the
fox and the badger in spots where l GER
tainly did not expect to see them. And
when | have gone where, according to
my reckoning. they ought to have been
so far as locality could be relied on =
they were not there. Very contradic-
tory experiences n has in looking for

THE WRESTLING GIRL.

ysscins aing, Generous. Noble Hearted. 81
. woulan's Analysis Runs.
Awoman who has made a study Of the
whistling girl says that. aside from her
assumption Of a masculine prerogative,
she is usually a dainty and fastidious bit
Of f~emininity, who loses not one iota of
her womanly charm when she Fuckers
her pretty mouth and whistles a merry
tune. Rather the roguish twinkle in her
eye challenges censure To a superficial
observer she is bright, jolly, original.
Know her better. and she is frank, hon.
est, high spirited. noble hearted. superior
to the alleged pettiness of her sex, and.
should circumstances require, sufficient
ly generous to make wonderful sacrifices
for those she loves. for. being ardent and
impulsive. she loves warmly. She may
hate. too, with corresponding enthusi-
asm. but not for long, for, being tender
of heart and believing always the best Of
humanity, this harsher sentiment finds
no permanent home with her.
Contrary to the general opinion, she is
rarely if wei a '.tomboy," and if she &C
c~asionally makes use of her ability to at
tract the attention of some delinquent
conductor it is only when she is hurry
ing home at dusk and knows hat the
friendly darkness will rot reveal her Sc
cret. As she approaches the r she
sees the coveted car leaving her perhaps
to a long and weary wait upon the size
walk. She glances around to appeal to
some possible small boy. but this onven
lent commodity fails to appear. Stead
lily the car is receding. Can she be blamed
if she for a moment forgets that utility
should weigh lightly in her vocal sca.e:
And at last, when she triumphantly eI.
tiers the car. no n would suppose that
those demure lips had uttered that shrill
and effective signal.
Altogether. although inclined to be
willful and rebellious at times (and who
admires dull perfection:), she is a CIR

cruel conventionality which forbids hel

E.tractir. Virtue From Refuse.

The grea' decrease in the price OF
paper cones from the discovery that
nearly everything that grows can be
turned into this useful article. Cotton
stalks. tobacco stalks, the stalks of tie
sugar cane. corn husks and sawdust that
used to cpmber the ground are now
made into cigarette wrappers. water
pals. car wheels and even buildings fo,
temporary purposes. The once despise4
sawdust can be used in still other ways
From it can be extracted alcohol, acids
and dyes. The extraction of dyes from
coal tar and the refuse of refined petro
leum has for a dozen years been n o.
the wonders of the chemists art, but
they are not the only things that are OBJ
tanned from coal, and science is on
stantly widening the list. The Stag OF
furnaces is now turned into asbestos,
cement, pottery and friedrich, and when
pulverized becomes a base for paints.
The refuse from wooden mills, which
has contaminated SO many streams. has
been found to be valuable for the oil 1t
contains, and its extraction will not only
profit the inventor, but do away with a

The Habit of Carelessness.

In youth men are self reliant. self as
sertive and self sufficient. Soon they
find themselves mistaken. possibly in lit
tie things at first, for the fact is they are
still small in knowledge and influence.
Hence the chagrin of the first errancy is
softened by the reflection that its conse-
Quences cannot work much harm. Too
often they fail to emphasize the impor-
lance of the value of their utterances as
their personal influences widen. Hence
their testimony without sufficient PROOF
for themselves begins to work mischief
for others. Then follow surprises, mis-
understandings, alterations. crimina-
tons, h~eartaches and occasionally some
thing worse Friendships are broken, in
tegrity is wounded. confidence is shaken.
human testimony is suspected.
Now all this is not the result chiefly
of any essentially bad trait in human
nature. 1t arises rather from careless
ness and a sort Of i%nsincere habit of con-
doning the fault on the score of personal
insignificance. .sOh. l didn't mean it.
covers a multitude of these sins among
our younger friends. But, alas, younger
friends" soon grow into midlife, and the
careless habit, once INDUCED, barnacles
itself upon age.-Boston Commonwealth.

Watched from the wharf, a sailboat
seems an easy sort of craft to manage.
The wind appears to do everything. The
casual guest of a skilled skipper likewise
= apt to think that as his host takes
things 80 easy it Cannot be so very diff.
cult to handle u sailboat after all. He
regards the warning of experience as
based on the jealousy of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing a science
which its followers try to represent az
hard to learn because they want to keep
it to themselves take q trick at the helm
once.
1t looks easy to keep the boat on her
course. Your friend who takes you out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
awhile. Some day he asks you to take
the tiller while he zoe sforward. He tells
You to keep that spire and that tall
chimney in line. You take the helm; you
do what you think you have seen him do.
The chimney and the steeple act as if they
were bewitched. They positively will
not come into line. You observe. in a
knowing tone, she doesn't seem to
mind her helm But she is minding her
helm, and pretty soon you find out what
jibing means.
Most of the fatalities of summer sailing
are due to the errors of the man who
thinks sailing is easy, who is confident
that he knows all lbout it. In reality
many a sea captain who can handle a big
ship without difficulty does not feel at
ease in command of a sailboat. Boat
sailing is a course at the Naval academy
in which the cadets undergo arduous
training under the mos skilled instruct
ors.-Boston Transcript.

Valued His Opinion Highly.

Lawyers as a class are often bothered
by friends and acquaintance who in a
purely innocent manner ask their opin-
ions on legal tec~hnicalities, with never
an idea of paying for the information.
A person of this class received . well
merited rebuke recently from a legal
luminary of this city. Meeting a lawyer,
he drew from his pocket a 8 bill and
said: Give me your opinion on this
note. Is it good:'
The lawyer took it, examined it care
fully and then rendered his decision. 'l'
is perfectly good" he said, and in a non
chalant way he folded it up and put Il
in his pocket.
And now" said the other, "Ill thanh
you for the money"
.Oh, no." replied the attorney. "Tl
retain it as my fee. To give advice il
my profession, and ! cannot afford t.
render an important opinion withou'
pay."-New York Herald.
