OF my first acts was TO place my fifty
SIX pound foot on prospective Fulton

sound that BODIED poorly for the crusta-

mats why the Hedgehog is a Danger.
Gus Enemy to Fight.

The hedgehog is an animal who may
be said to he always ready for a FIGHT
since he wears his weapons all the time
and does not need to get them sharp
ened or loaded.
His method of defense is very simple
His spikes are covered over his bach
only. so when approached by an enemy
he lies down on one side. rolls himself
up into ball, and in one second seems
to consist of nothing but a bundle OF
spikes, which no man or animal can
tear open, and on which few would
wish to make the attempt When in
this ball he will let himself be tossed,
pulled about, or thrown from great
heights without unrelling himself OF
giving the slightest sign Of life.
An old writer tells rs about hedge
hogs something which sounds like a
fairy story. and makes us inclined to
doubt II animals haven't degenerated il
these days. He says that the hedge
hogs of ancient days used to climb trees
and shake down the most desirable fruit.
When they had a sufficient supply they
rolled themselves up into balls and drop
ped directly on top of the best speci-
mems OF apples or pears. Then, their
quilts sticking into their booty. the
hedgehogs could walk home. with their
backs covered with dinner enough for
several days But perhaps it was only
educated hedgehogs who performed this
feat, and the art of training them has
been lost.
Hedgehogs live in little houses in the
woods constructed of leaves and moss.
They eat small insects, frogs. or any
thing else that that can be caught easily.
They enjoy snakes. And if they Get a
chance, they will drive hen from her
nest and devOur all her eggs.
These animals hibernate and sleep
away the winter in a cosy little nest
constructed of leaves, twigs and moses.
Here they lie in dormant state until
the spring comes around again. And.
OF course, after such a long fast. the
first thing Mr.. Hedgehog looks out for
Is a dinner big enough to make up for
lost time
1t is said that hedgehogs can be
tanned and made useful about the house
by keeping the lower rooms clear of
cOckroaches. Cockroacfes walk about
at night, and so do hedgehogs. 1t is
their time for seeking their food. They
are scarcely pets to be recommended,
however, for they could not be comfor-
ably cuddled or Rugged. and what IS
the use of a pet that one is afraid to
touch?

"Foolscap paper" has curious origin.
1t is said that this designation is derived
from the fact that Charles |. grant
ed to certain parties a monopoly of the
manufacture of paper, and every sheet
bore in watermarks the royal arms.
But the parliament under Cromwell
made jests OF this in every conceivable
manner, and ordered the royal arms to
be removed and the foolscap and bells
TO be substituted. OF course these were
reversed after the restoration. but the
