TWO CUTE FOXES.
They Had Fun While Bafled Hunters
Wondered Where They Were Hidden.

They Had Fun While Bafled Hunters
Wondered Where They Were Hidden.
In Outing is told the story of a pair
of foxes that for a time, at any rate,
enjoyed the sport of a fox hunt. The
dogs jumped them. but after awhile the
trail ended at u pond.
About the center of the pond was a
bent tree, the two ends of which were
In the water, while the highest point of
the curve was perhaps 20 feet above the
pond. The dogs were working about
the pond, locking fer the trail, and the
men were locking, too, and they were
beginning to feel rather curious, espe-
cially as every few moments they would
hear a fox yelp sharply. 1t seemed to be
Il derisiye bark, which it probably was.
After awhile Il movement in the top Of
the curve Of the tree in the pond attract
ed attention.
Upon this tree the account con-
times, SEATED comfortably at the point
Of its highest curve, was an old dog fox.
The cunning rascal had travelled across
the pond ON the logs, then scaled the

jerked his goodly brush up and down
and barked his derision at the whole
performance. After awhile we saw his
vixen seated on an adjacent log. They
were simply watching the futile efforts
Of our pack to locate them, and, likely
enough, they enjoyed the experience"
One of the men got up wind from the
animals and his scent drove them out.
The dogs took the male fox's trail and
drove it at last to a log spanning a
ditch, on which a man was sitting. The
fox did not see the m~otionless man till
close enough to be reached, when, with
a frantic leap sideways into the water,
he escaped the grab. The rac did not
last long then. The wet fox gave off
a strong, easily followed scent, and the
wet brush was like a piece CT lead, so
the animal vas killed by the dogs while
the men rushed in afoot to get a closer
view.

Notice appears in London Invention
of a peculiar product, under the name
of soap stock, prepared in Drindisi,
which is largely utilized on account of
its special properties. 1t is prepared by
subjecting the residue of olive kernels
to chemical processes under the action
Of sulphuric acid after all means of ex-
traction by pressure have been exhaust
ed. OF this substance it is stated that
during the year 1894 the quantity pro-
duced amounted to about ], 200 toms. the
medium market price for which ranged
at some $50 per ton. The article in
question, which is of little value as a
l%ubricator. has a ready sale among soap
manufacturers, and in years when the
oil crop has been favorable considerable
quantities have been exported to this
country, Great Britain and northern
Europe. This oil is locally known az
''olio sulfureo, OF sulphur oil, from
the method of its extraction. The refuse
remaining after the extraction is used
for fuel for steam boilers by millers as
a matter of economy.

spot Mt Which Superstitious Wedding
Parties All Turn Back.
A bridge which is carefully avoided
by wedding couples because of the
traditions which surround it spans a
stream called the goldbrooll, in the
parish of lIoXnc, near Eye, in the coun-
ty of Suffolk, England. Standing in
the center Of an open field at IIoxne is
an obelisl1 to the memory Of Edmund,
king of the East Angles, who was
killed by the Danes in $40. On the site
of the monument stood an oak tree, in
the branches of which the king took
refuge from his foes. At nightfall he
emerged from his lcafy hiding place
and secreted himself under the above
mentioned bridge. A wedding party
passing over the bridge at night OBJ
served tho kings gold spurs glittcring
in the moonlight, and in this way he
was betrayed to his enemies, who took
him back to the oak tree and shot him
with arrows. Local tradition has it
that many years ago the existing in
scription of the event was followed b,
the words: Cursed be the wedding
party that passes over this BRIDGE No
such words are now visible, but the
tradition is SO web known that bridal
parties prefer taking ci-cuitous route
rather than pass over Goldbrool1 bridge
