What the Red SQUIRREL Knows.


Few boys know as much about the
hickory-nut as the common red, or
Hudson Bay, squirrel knows. 1t sup
plies him with his favorite food both
winter and summer, and for that rea-
son, probably, he has given it close
attention and knows its peculiarities
as we'll as scientist. In the autumn,
when the nutting season begins, the
squirrel prepares for his harvest, and
like good husbandman has both a
barn and granary. His barn is a
well-decayed log, with plenty Of rot
ting leaves lying about it, and his
granary dry hollow in a tree.
When the proper time comes, he
climbs the well-loaded shell-bark
hickory, and begins to throw down
the nuts by biting the twig to which
each is attached. This slight shock
is sufficient, when the nut is ripe, to
send them rattling through the with
ering leaves to the ground. In an
hour an industrious squirrel will
shake down enough to keep himself
busy for the remainder of the day.
And when at work few animals are
as industrious as the red squirrel.
AS he runs out one branch after
another and strips it Of its nuts, he
is very much in earnest, for his win
ter supply Of provisions depends on
his activity.
His next task is to carry the nuts

rant could have served the remains
without a change of programme.
The owners of fighting dogs might
stick to the opinion that the inter
yentiOn OF a second Newfoundlander
would have changed the issue OF the
combat, but the sportsmen of the
Transvaal Republic would probably
incline to q different theory. The
antelope hounds OF that hunters
paradise occasionally come across a
leopard, the next relative of the
North American panther, and In such
cases the hunter will not hesitate TO

Expensive Sport.
In Southern Hindostan, where
damage suits are rare, the loss of a
human life is often not thought worth
mentioning, but the price Of an ele-
plant varies from $500 to $500, and
good saddle horses are so rare that a
tiger hunt now and then ceases to be
a one-sided kind of sport. At cir
Gle hunt in the jungles of Ranger,
in the province of Hyderabad, the
result Of one tiger killed, one cub
killed, and one captured, was offset
by three dead and one wounded cool
les, two dead horses, and two man
gleG elephants, besides the loss Of a
lot OF baggage and camping outfit,
carried by a stampeded elephant in
the rear ranks Of the expedition, and
the hunters had, after all, TO retreat
without accomplishing their object of
killing an inveterate man-eater.
AS a rule, however, dogs pay the
main share of the penalties incident
to the failure OF such enterprises.
Carnivorous beasts hate mans truest

Panther and Dor.
A few years ago panther managed
to escape from the live stock car Of a
travelling menagerie, and, prowllng
about in quest of lunch, suddenly
made his appearance in the open
door Of a blacksmith's shop, few
miles south of Lansing, Mich. The
blacksmith made grab for his ham

along the pike road till he reached a
lane between two gardens, in one of

Queen Victoria's favorite dogs, who &C
company her wherever she goes, are Spot, a
fox terrier; black and tan collie named
Roy, and brown colored Spitz called
Marco. The Prince of Wales has special
affection for little Dandie Dinmont,
Venus by name, which formerly belonged
to the late Duke of Clarence and is now
rarely away from the princes side. The
particular pet of the princess, which has &C,

A trifling incident which is worth remem-
bering because the names connected with it
are SO memorable occurred at Spot pond, In
Stoneham, Mass, one day during the early
days Of this century.
A pleasure party was driving that way
and when they came to the lake the ladies
exclaimed over the water lilies in blossom
there and expressed the most eager desire
to gather them; but, alas! they were too far
away to be reached, except by boat, and
lamentations were many over the disap-
pointing state of things.
At length Daniel Webster exclaimed:
"Oh, If / were as young rs was Il few
years agol | would ransack the shores I'M
til found some boat or boards by which
could reach those liliesp'
No sooner were the words out of his
mouth than nearly all the young men of
the party bounded off in search of means
for lily gathering. One only, Samuel j.
May, then student in college, remained,
and the glances of surprise with which the
ladies viewed his lack of spirit became al
most contemptuous.
Nevertheless he stood by unmoved until
his comrades were well out of sight and
| then calmly waded into the pond and gath
cred the lilies. Shouts of applause greeted
| the exploit, and MIR. Webster was not be-
| hindhand in commenting it.
| "Ah, sir" said May, ''the ladies owe these
lilies less to my gallantry than to your elo-
quence. I could not stand your appeal un-
moved"
II have never before gained lily by my
eloquence," said Mr.. Webster
"No sir" answered young May, "but IL
has often been crowned with laurels."

Roofs In the Tronics.

In the interior of Ceylon the natives fin
sh walls and roofs with paste Of slaked
lime gluten and alum, which glazes and is
30 durable that specimens three centuries
old are now to be seen. On the Malabar
coast the fat bamboo roofs are covered
with a mixture of COW dung, straw and
clay. This is poor conductor of heat and
not only withstands the heavy rains to a
remarkable degree, but keeps the hut cool
in hot weather. In Sumatra the native
women braid coarse cloth of palm leaves
for the edge and top of the roof Sharks
skins form the roofs of fishermen in the
Andaman islands. The Malays of Malacca,
Sumatra and Java have a roofing of attaps,
pieces Of palm leaf wickerwork, about 3
feet by in size and an inch thick, which
are laid like shingles and are practically
waterproof The Arabs f the East Indies
make durable roofing of slaked lime,
blood and cement. Europeans sometimes
use old sails-made proof against water
mold and insects by paraffin and corrosive
sublimate-for temporary roofs.-Waver-

tlesnake on n bike"
To our ears there have come many Won
derful rattlesnake stories, painted with the
glowing colors of truthfulness. but never
in our long experience has such one as
here related been reported
1t is an entirely modern snake story, and
it relegates the old rusty tales out of sight.
1t truly belongs to the new era. 1t is
bicycle snake story-a regular safety, pneu-
matte tire snake story-a snake story that
would make the hair rise on tigers back
and make Bill Nye turn green with envy.
But it is true snake story and was re-
lated to us by a young gentleman who is
good looking and truthful. While telling
the adventure to us his soft black eyes
dilated and his black mustache bristled.

Since then the pneumatic tire has decayed
so that 1 had to have it completely over
