The Muskrat Air Supp'y.

From the Chicago News: W. Spoon,
the naturalist, asserts that the musk
rat, when Obliged to so beneath the
ice from ore side TO the other of a pond
has a curious mode Of taking along
his air supply. Instinct teaches him
to take in 4 deep breath before start
ing, but even this he knows viii be
insufficient for the trip. Accordingly
he halts occasionally and exhales the
exhausted air from the lungs.
This air. being confined by the ice
in the shape Of a bubble, and in full
contact with the icy water. becomes al
most instantly raOXygenated. When
the transformation is completed the
wise rat again takes in his old breath,
which is now a fresh inspiration Thus
rejuvenated, he again dives out Of
sight ana begins swimming for the
other side, only coming up against
the ice as often as it is necessary for
him to refreshen that valuable little
breath OF air.
But few hunters ard trappers arc
aware Of the muskrat's odd plan Of
changing his poisonous breath into a
fresh inspiration. but those who are
take a mean advantage. By striking
a heavy blow on the ice the air is dis
persed ard the animal dies Of as
phyxia.

Holidays Plentiful.

In America hohd. y; are few, but IN
some Of thc countries of the old wCrl
the laborers work only two hundred
days in the year, owing to the number

one would imagine that every day was
a holiday III the Northwest, for the
trains are always well filed, while on
hoiiIavs there is an even bigger travel.

Better Than the Best Hotel.

Home life dement's the love OF hus-
band and wife: other modes of living
often loosen the tie writes Edward
w Box in the November Ladies' Home
journal. Nor does the question of
expense excuse the not having Of ones

palace Tie humbIest cottage is a mil
lion times better than the most lUXUri-
ous hotel ever planned by the hands Of
man. la the one happiness is probable:
in the other it is Just possible. We can
talk all We choose about married happi-
ness; that it, after all, rests solely be-
tween two people, and that I makes no
difference where they live. That is
very good IS theory. But thousands
of instances prove The contrary; that
the theory VIII not work out ID prac-
tice. Happiness depends upon the
growth OF the people who are parts
of it. People who stop and sta4nate
are never happy. True happiness
thriyes upon what it feeds upon. Let
staguation enter INTO two liycs. and hap
piness becomes stagnant and unhealthy.
But let cur lives be filled with content
ment, with domestic pleasure, with that
germ Of evolution which springs from
those elements Is purer, sweeter and
more satisfying 10 our natures, cur
minds and our soles. ! mn and wife
were made to abide together in inscp-
arabic lives. and a. new elements come
into that union to sweeten and hal!ow
it. the abiding place should be some lit

which they can call tleir own, their
very own, where every thing around
them speaks Of the husbands energy
and the Wife's achievement, This IS
