"You don't have to skirmish
around much to get feed to fatten
one OF those hemlock porcupines on, "
says an old Potter county woodman
to the Philadelphia Times. Just
sprinkle some salt over a stick of
cordwood, or sawlog for that mat
ter, and he'll eat the whole business
and enjoy it like you would a mince
pie.
The customary diet of these ami
mails, though, is hemlock browse.
They make themselves home in a
hollow log or under the roots of some
old tree, but always in reach of a
big hemlock. The hemlock is their
pasture, and they make beaten paths
going to and fro between the tree and
their home. The porcupine climbs
the tree rs readily as a squirrel
would, provided you don't slip up
and cut his tail off while he is going
up. Somehow or other he can't
climb the tree without his tail, nor
he won't come down without it.
"If you watch one of these porcu-
pines climbing tree and chop his
tail of close he will stop where he is
and will stay there until he starves
TO death unless he is taken away.
Once up the tree, the porcupine goes
out on the big limbs and pulling the
smaller branches in with one paw
browses on the pungent leaves In
boing through the woods you will find
little piles OF these fine leaves on the
ground under hemlock trees. That
means that a porcupine is feeding in
the tree, the leaves on the tree being
dropped from his feast. Sometimes
a porcupine will remain in a hemlock
tree for week at a time, hugging
close to a trunk at night and feeding
during the day. This curious little
beast is the only known living thing
that eats the foliage Of the hemlock."

WOES OF THE MlLkMAN.
Try His Best, He Never Succeeds In Getting
Back All His Bottles,

'sTho greatest trial of my life, " says a
milkman, sis bottles. Yes, sir, bottles
If it WASH t for bottles, I'd want nothing
better. Other people never think of bot
Ties l actually dream Of bottles. It's
bottles, bottles, bottles-who's got the
bottles with me all the time!
''The most perfect system of book
keeping ever invented will not account
for bottles. When I send out 100 bot
ties of milk in the morning, Tn dead

never look upon them bottles all again.
Never again, sir! The milks are cents
and the bottles are cents. But the peo-
pei who would scorn to steal milk will
keep the bottles. They think bottles
don't cost nothing, Or they don't think
nothing at all.
''Some time ago lady was behind
about seven bottles and hadn't returned
any for week. I know some people
get two Or three days behind with their
empties, but I couldn't account for all
of these. While I was thinking about it

I don't like your milk anyhow. It's

"And she did change, and I lost a
good customer by the mere mention Of
bottles. Some people keep their tea and
things in the bottles. You CAM go and
search for them. You must take their
word for it that they amt got none.
They are supposed to return their
empties the next day, and they'll keep
them for a week. I'd have to have a
carload of extra bottles to suit them.
Some Of them just slap on their empties
when the dumbwaiter comes their way,
and some other milkman goes off with
them. They don't care. And then,
when you call up for their empties,
they get mad as hops and swear they
sent them down-which perhaps they
did, but not to us.
"And there's the servants that break
bottles and swear they returned them a
week ago, and their mistresses believe
them. It's enough to drive man to

Charm of New England Scenery.

There is something in the New Eng

lowlands OF in the highlands, whether
Ga the seashore Or among the mountains,
which is permanently attractive 1t is
never wearisome, never monotonous. In
winter the White hills are sternly Sc
rene and beautiful in their mantles OF
snow, and though less inviting than in
summer appeal to the imagination with
striking effect. The variety OF hill and
valley is such that even when the snow
covers the ground and nature takes on
the appearance of uniformity the charm
of the view is not lost, but heightened.
have found the White mountains on
a frosty winter morning, with heavy
clouds sweeping over the shoulders of
Mount Washington, and the snow white
peak glistening in the sun as if it were
covered with diamonds, irresistibly at

E. L. Carson, an electrician Of Boston,
1.-TWO years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost

tract knew to be given ran from $500
to 81, 500. and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufaetur.

that with such constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi'
ton as to run prices down to one-seventh
of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
in the country not run by electricity. =

THE DRUMMER WILTED.
A 81 900 Ante In a Senatorial Game w
Too Rich For His Blood.

A O., 900 Ante In a Senatorial Game Was
Too Rich For His Blood.
A group of millionaires were playing
what was probably the stiffest game Of
poker ever played in the United States.
It was at Chamberlin' in Washing
ton, in the winter Of 1889 and 1890.
The exact list of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser Of Mon
tana were in it, and Senator Farwell of
Chicago was in the room.
About midnight a swell drummer for
a Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwell. The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on.
He introduced him to the other players.
"Have you any objection to my play
ing?" asked the drummer.
WELL" said Senator Wolcott, 81
have no objection, but-er-well, you
see, the game is pretty steep"
''Ha, ha!'' laughed the drummer:
''That is the kind Of a game like. -
Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest Of the
crowd had no objection. With a wink
at Senator Farwell, the drummer sat
down, pulled out "wad,' peeled off
a$1, 1000 bill and said to Governor Hau-
ser, who was dealing;
"Giye me some chips!''
Then he looked around the table, as
much as to say:
"No flies on me, eh?''
''Give the gentleman one white
chip" said Senator Wolcott. Govern
or Hauser passed over the chip without
smile and remarked:
"Jack pot for 3d. Put up your
money"
The drummer sat aghast for an in
slant; then he picked up his money and
said:
''Too rich for my blood"

won over 800, 600 that night. Chicago
