wants 1t, as the young foal can, which
is never away from the mare. He has
to wait for his meals until his mother
returns But this arrangement also
renders it netdful that the cows udder

the large bag" which always distin-

the important fact that a COW. retains
her milk until the morning and even
ing visits of the farmer or dairymaid.
The habit of chewing the cud among
cattle and other herbivorous animals
tells a similar tale. They had no time
to masticate the grass thoroughly
when they were feeding but were
obliged to get in a supply of provisions
as rapidly as possible, and during the
hours when the wild beast were least
abroad. Having got in their store, they
retired to their safe hiding places and
lay down to ruminate at leisure DR..

that the national securities in the

and Frau Won KotZe until the latter
began to talk about her, Then the
princess missed the precious diary in
which she had written accounts of all
the vicious reports she had heard about
the court people. Princess Charlotte
accused Frau Won Kotze of stealing
this diary, and The Berlin people
agreed with her.
But at this time the liaison of the
French woman and Duke Ernst was so
openly conducted that all of the friends
of the woman turned against her.
Frau Won Kotzc was more bitter than
the others, and forcibly elected her
from the house to which she had
hitherto been cordially welcomed
Then it was that the French woman
stole the stolen liary from Frau Won
