Their Habits and Instincts In Regard to
SheltertpS Themselves.
The reluctance with which most hui
man beings face voluntary exposure to
such (yvet) weather will account for our.
very limited knowledge of the shifts
and devices by which our wild animals
epdeavor to avoid the worst discom forts
which it brings But those who are
bold enough to go forth in all weathers
know by experience that in ali but the
most open countries there are generally
to be found some cosey corners to which
the rain does not penetrate, or which,
even if not dry, are sheltered from the
direct access of the driving drops
Animals, birds especially, while
showing the utmost dislike to end lure
the storm, are by no means clever in
the of such natural shelters as
might be supposed Hares, as rule,
leave the open country and seek shell
ter in the woods; and stupid they are
in circumstances new to their expert
ence as when suddenly chased, or in
avoiding snares and traps, they show
considera BILE ingenuity in securing their
comfort They nearly always make a
form near, but not touching, the trunk
of some large tree Thus, while securin e
the shelter of the stem and overhanging
i'm bs, they avoid the water which drains
down to the main column and forms. as
any one may see by looking at the foot
of a large timber rec in a meadow, a
tiny canal Mt the fase of the trunk.

For the best dresses that women OF
moderate means keep for special occa-
sions there are various Inexpensive
satin fabrics that wear and look muc n
better than silks of similar low price.
For the present season the satin sura MS
are not heavy enough, and real satin
is too costly, hence the careful shoppc =
buys the satin duchess merveillcux,
because its surface is closely woven in
stead of showing a broad serge-like
twill that cheapens the effect at once.
These come in olive aud moss green,

IN THE ELECTRICAL WORLD.

The astronomers of Warmers OBJ

asked the local electric light companies
TO adopt shades for their electris lights,
tanning that the CLEANS of light there
from make accurate observations inn

The Compagnie Translantique has
again brought forward the question OF
lighting the Atlantic route from Ire
land to Newfoundland 1t is proposed
to have ten powerful floating lights two
hundred miles apart, and connect them
by electric cables
"A new system Of train starting has
been inaugurated in the Dearborn sta
ton in Chicago. A large clock in tho
train dispatcher's Office runs by cleo
tricity. Connecting wires extend to
largo gongs in the different waiting
rooms and in the train sheds Two
minutes before the train starts the diff
ferent gongs ring in all parts OF tho
building.
"A patent for q process of uniting
broken pieces OF arc light carbons has
recently been granted. By this process
the fragments of carbon are combined
to any desired lengths by means OF
paste composed of pulverized carbon
parts and applied hot. after which the
carbors are baked until the paste

1t is said that the Gillian govern
ment is considering the saoJect or
lighting by electricity the dangerous
straits of Magellan. AS its greatest
coal deposits are on the northern shores
of the straits, this can be cheaPly eff

be hailed with delight by the mariners
who would use that passage between
the two great oceans

Austria announces an electric loco
motive which is to travel 125 miles an
hour. The Independence Beige follows
with the statement that the North Bel
gian Co. and the North France Co. are
constructing a line for locomotives,
operated by electricity, on which the
journey from Brussels to Paris. about
1872 miles, will be accomplished in
eighty minutes, speed of nearly $50
miles an hour. 1t is further stated that
the trains will be running in about two

Sparrow Food for the Wise Bird
The little Scrcech-ovl, we'll known in
most parts of the country, is indefatig-
able in its work of destroying mice and
insects 1t may often be seen at dusk
lowering about barns and outhouses,
watching for mice. or Swimming over
the fields or along hedgerows in search
of grass hoppers, crickets and beetles
Many birds of this species have taken
up residence in the cities having
learned to feed upon that most de-
structive nuisance the English sparrow
In winter rural residents often notice
the tracks of mice which form net
works in the snow, crossing and recroSs-
ing, passing in and out of walls and
understanding to show how active
these small rodents are when most of
the world sleeps. Occasionally such a
track stops abruptly, and, while the OBJ
server is trying to read more of the his
tory written in the snow, his eyes catch
the faint impression of a pair of wing
tips near where the trail ends, and in
stanly he is made aware that a tragedy
has been enacted. Screech-owls also
feed on chipmunlzs, shrews, moleS and
occasionally bats During warm spells
in witer they forage extensively and
store up in their homes quantities Of
food provision against Indictment
weather.
Probably the most important from an
the barn owl. Its food is almost en-
tirely made up of injurious mammals
In the west it feeds largely on pouched
gophers, and the stomach contents
of many individuals examined have
revealed little else than the re-
mains of these rodents To appreciate
properly the services of this owl it must
be remembered that pouched gophers
are among the most, if not the most, de-
structive mammals which iphabit this
country. In various other localities it
feeds extensively on the common rat
The great horned owl, which in the
east is persistent in its attacks on poul-
try and game, kills immense numbers
of rabbits in rabbit infested parts Of
the west, where its assistance is inval-
liable to the farmer. It is much adj
dicted to eating skunlSs, OF which 1t de-

Teeth of the Negro.

The old-time colored man was noted
for the brilliant whiteness OF his teeth
"a q uality which is not inherited by
his descendants of the present day.
Nowadays the teeth Of the negroes do
not seem to be nearly as good as those
of his white brother. The reason is to
be found in the change of food. The
slaves had plenty to eat. but the food
given them was of the simplest kind.
Pork. meal, potatoes, and such veg
etables as they raised themselves,
formed their bill of fare. Now they
eat all sorts of indigestible stuff, out
