diving for roots and after a minute be-
meath the waters surface rising again,
offered prey at once fighter and Of
goodly TASTE A mink likes to kill a
fighter He will go a long way from
brooks, upon hill and even mountain
tops, looking for one, woodsmen say.
He tackles martens or weasels, and is
especially fond of big muskrat.
The mink crouched on the edge of
the ice moment; then, as the muskrat
rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk
rat quickly threw up his head and
caught the mink by paw. The mink
got hold of the muskrat's neck, a skin
hold only. They rolled and kicked the
water high in the air, throwing it ten
feet away into the snow. The mink
could have killed the muskrat had they
been in the snow or on the ground, but
in the water the muskrat was too pow
erful. At last they dived, and above
them the water boiled and grew yellow
with mud.
Under water the mink was as badly
off as at the surface. At last the
minks breath gave out, and, letting go,
he tried to rise, but the mrsl1rat would
not release his held on the mink's leg.
So at last. the mink, after much strug-
Cling, died. But his hold on the musk
rats throat, though at first only skin
hold, had later been forced back. and
the big vein had been cut. The mink
rose to the surface, and the muskrat
tried to swim away, but died, and rose
as the other had done.

NATIONALITY IN EGG EATING.
Curious Racial characteristics Noted in
New York Restaurants.

Curious Racial characteristics Noted in
New York Restaurants.
The philosopher who is to discover
the ponderability Of a mans gray mat
ter" by the way in which he eats boiled
eggs is not yet risen among US, but it
only requires the ordinary powers Of
observation and a moderate acquaint-
lance with the restaurants of New
York, says the Sun of that city, to dis
cover that there are some very curious
and clear indications of mans nation
atty to be gathered from watching
the way in which he performs this func-
ton.
To an Englishman, it will be seen,
there is but one way in which to eat
boiled eggs, and all other ways are
heathenish and an abomination. 1t is
necessary, in the first place, that his
eggs be medium boiled--three and a
half minutes is the standard, tower
marked time-and then brought to
table in napkin, with bread and but
ter, spoon, pepper and salt, and an egg
cup. Not one of those heavy, parti-
toned things, of thick iron stoneware,
with a goblet-like arrangement at one
end and a smaller depression at the
other, but a delicate little article of
white china, with a plain gold band
around the edge, narrow band it
should be, or, perhaps, little spray Of
light tinted flowers painted on the
sides. Into this cup of comfort the egg
slides deeply, just leaving a sufficient
amount of shell above the rim to be re-
moved, and to remove this shell there
is but one true method of procedure.
The shell must be dainty Clipped with
the spoon, and the fragments must be
removed with the same utensil. There
are some people who brutally cut off
the top Of the egg with a knife and
plunge the spoon at once in medias res,
but these are generally persons and
are by no means representative of the
true and insular art of egg eating. 1t
is allowable, under certain conditions,
to use the fingers to remove the broken
fragments of the Clipped shell, but the
use cannot be commended as good form.

condition discreditable to the more
prosperous of the inhabitants. To re-
mind them of their duty toward their
poorer neighbors parrot was pur-
chased, which was installed close to the
box and trained to cry: For the poor,
if you please!''
The result, it appears, has been high
ly satisfactory, pence and silver having
been freely given in response to the
birds appeal
The idea is capable of being applied
in variety of ways. Parrots might be
used, for example, to warn passers-by
of the proximity of wet paint on fences
or shop fronts, or to remind people on
entering house to wipe their feet.
In fact, parrots might be made really
useful members of society.

ABOUT CUT GLASS.
The Kind That Is in Vogue and How to
Take Care of 1t.

Imported cut glass is now rivaled by
the American production at price
which, though high, is considerably less
than the foreign. Owing to the great
amount of work required in cutting
and polishing and the large percentage
of brealzage while in the hands of the
workmen cut glass must always be val
liable. Once, while watching the
process at an American factory which
turns out some of the finest in the
world, saw salad bowl break just as
it was receiving its final touches, and
this without any fault of the artisan.
On the piece had already been expended
enough work to bring the value of the
article up to forty-fve dollars. Of
course, the labor was totally lost.
The two finest kinds of glass, Be-
hemian and Venetian, are named from
the countries in which their manufac-
ture has reached high degree of per-
lection. In the Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicacy of the material
and form. Its production requires both
technical and artistic skill in glass
blowing, while the Bohemian is dis
tinguished by richness of ornamental
ton through polishing and engraving.
After the rivalry of England in add
ing a mixture of lead to flint glass,
by means of which was produced
substance superior in brilliance
and transparency to the Bohemians,
the continental workers set to
work to regain their supremacy.
This they did by discovering how to
make colored glass, or rather by redis-
covering the old process and popular
izing it. AS a result we have to-day
the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass,
which is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamentation of So
styled Jewels is, imitation of
pearls, rubies, emeralds and garnets in
colored glass. The result is often a
brilliant medley that will hardly bear
inspection.

SWALLOWED BY THE JUNGLE.
In One Year 1t Will Send Creepers One
Hundred Feet High Over q Clearing.

Hundred Feet High Over Clearing.
The stages in the onward march of
the forest over clearing are most in
teresting. Perhaps two or three hun
dred acres, in one instance, had been
planted with sugar canes and fifty in
plantains, vegetables and fruit. There
would be fair-sized dwelling house, a
water or cattle sugar mill, huts for the
negroes and wharf on the river bank,
says a writer in Popular Science
Monthly. The planter decided to give
up the place, as he had an offer of a
more fertile piece of land on the coast.
Taking away everything portable, in
Guiding the machinery of his mill, he
abandoned the rest, carrying away his
negroes, and left the clearing to ma
ture.
Look on the plantation year later.
Already thicket has grown up which
is only penetrable by the constant use
of cutlass. After great deal of la
Dor you reach the borders of the once
tidy clearing. What wonderful sight!
Along the line of forest trees dense
wall of creepers rises sixty to hundred
feet high, forming an effective vail to
the dark arcade beyond. From these
stretch out long ropes, twining vegeta-
BILE serpents and giants fingers, all
moving toward what was once the open
space. Some are hundreds of yards
long, roofing at the joints, whence 9th
er branches radiate and from the dense
obstruction we have cut through.
The creepers, twiners and scramblers
have not yet reached the house, but
nature is at work there also. Round it
was once an orchard of oranges, lines,
star apples and other tropical fruit,
with few Towering shrubs Most of
these are now overrun with the blood
sucking loranths vegetable leeches
which are continually draining their
juices and evidently fattening on the
spoil. These exotic bushes and trees
have no business here; they are in
truders. If man protects them and de-
stroys their enemies they can thrive,
but if he abandons them they must per-
ish. Perhaps you are thirsty and look
for an orange, but among dozen trees
not single fruit can be found, and
never will be again.

FOUGHT UNDER WATER,
A Mink Drowned While Killing a Musk
rat in an Adirondack Pool

The muddled water of half-frozen
cove down on the flats told that some
thing unusual had happened not long
before. Palmer yet was the tale when
a stiffening furred body rose to the sur
face of the little open space of water.
Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice
dark spot showed plainly a wood
mans eye that a fight had occurred in
the water, and a closer inspection
demonstrated that it had been fight
for food and a fight for life.
a hungry mink had come that way
along a string OF coves looking for
something to eat. The mice were shy,
and he could not catch them. OF fish
there were none, but a lone 1nuskrat,

A Western legislators Opinion.

J. J. Baston, member from the Thir-
tyfourth district, Hennepin county,
thinks that the legislature this winter
should do something to stop the CRY
which organized labor in the state is
making against convict labor. Mr..
Baston is the only country member Of
the Hennepin delegation, and natural
" is interested in good roads. 1t is
his idea that the convicts should be
called in from the work which they
are now doing for shOemakers and
others and put to work pounding rock
for the roads of the state. Such a
course would interfere with no class
OF labor and would soon make great
improvement in the roads of the state.

BllLYS BRIGHT IDEA.
It Helped His Mother in Her Trunk
Packing.


The Churchman has given US Billy's
idea, which is surely valuable enough
to be spread abroad. His mother was
going to the seashore, and while she
was packing her trunks he was pop
ping in about every five minutes with
something OF his that must be packed
also.
I'D like to help you, mother" he
said once, preparing to pitch his fishing
tackle in on his mothers lace gown,
g" cause you look so tired"
"Never mind. Billy" said his mother,
catching the tackle. II shall rest after
awhile Packing is hard work for a
tall person, though, for it makes one
stoop So"
Why" said Billy, with his hands in
his pockets and his head on one side,
why don't you put the trunks upon
something? Hullo, know; horses,
wooden horses, you know, mother; car
penter's horses; there are some in the
basement. I'll bring EN-
And directly there he was again with
wooden horse on his back.
Mother ones coming with Sam, "
he said, painting, 'and we'll lift up the
trunks"
BILLY boy" said his mother, straight
ening up her tired back, Il believe
your plan is a good one."
Sure enough, the packing went on
beautifully after that, and at dinner
Billy'S mother said she had never
packed so easily and comfortably.
