The Nation OF the Nations


Grandly, proudly. she has risen from the
slumber of the past
And tyrant nations tremble at her VI
brant trumpetS blast.
AS matchless as the radiant dawn tha'
Quivers into light
The great peace loving nation stands. the
champion of right
The nation of the nations!
She was born to bleed for man
When young wars wild pulsations
Through her veins. God driven. ran
And thrilled to birth the great of earth.
Who broke a tyrant's BAN
And now that she has risen. can she rend
the futures veil
And see the tears and treasures strewn
along the crimson trail
OF war? And can she read the lines
which fate has yet to write?
Does she know the power of patriotism
to foster or to blight?
The nation Of the nations!
In her youth she saw the star
OF truth above temptations.
In the clouds of doubt afar,
And followed it. while glory lit
Her faith. which naught could mar
Experience will show her that the truth
is in these lines
The stars and stripes must ever wave
above the Philippines,
And all that she has conquered must be
From Porto Rico's fertile fields to Cuba q
wasted charms.
The nation of the nations!
Trials, troubles she must face
And bear her tribulations
For the heroes of her race,
Who falter not in storms Of shot.
But crowd for honor's place.
ENVOY.
Oh, nation of the nations!
Instrument of liberty!
From foreign complications
One alone can keep you free!
With outstretched hands she proudly
stands,
The mistress Of the seal!

BATTLE WITH WILDCAT.
A Hunter Uses Red Pepper to Good
Advantage on Wild Beast.


For the first winter in many years
wildcats have been numerous along the
Fulton Chain. "Bill'' HARDWOOD, an old
time Adirondack guide, arrived in
town last week with his head and
arms done up In bandages, as evidence
of the willingness Of a wildcat to fight
when in close quarters.
Harwood and his big deerhound,
Spot, had been making a tour of the
lakes for winter game, when they were
caught In a snow storm on Black River
mountain, near Rocky Point. They
camped for the night in a shack left
by party Of surveyors. Along in the
morning Harwood was awakened by
the barking of the hound Turning
over in his blankets he saw two shining
eyes in a corner of the shack. Har-
wood knew that it was n wildcat. The
cat had crawled to the entrance, when
the hound leaped ahead and blocked
the way out. A terrific battle follow
ed The cat leaped for the hound and
literally tore the dog into shrcds. Then
the decayed trees holding the shack
fell over the entrance and the cat and
Harwood were literally penned in to
fight a duel to the death.
The odds were plainly with the cat,
for Harwood's gun had fallen with the
brush, outside the shack. He was
crawling to reach the weapon when
the cat came down upon him, tearing
its claws through his face and down his
right arm. If the cat had followed the
attack Immediately the battle would
have been over then and there. Har-
woods life was saved by luck and a
clever idea. AS the cat lcaped back for
second attack, Harwood fell for
ward. His hand struck box of red
pepper, which he had brought with his
provisions. Quick as thought he
snatched a handful of pepper, and arts
ing threw it at the head of the cat. The
aim was good. The cat was blinded I'M
til HarWoOd could crawl outside and
reach his rifle. Then he dropped under
the edge of the shack, and, locating the
cat by the noise, fired until the animal
was dcad.-New York World.

How Ants kilI a Snake.

That ants can actually kill snakes is
4 hard thing to believe. There is ire
futablc evidence. however, that they
do. and scientists have discovered that
the snake has hardly Il more danger
Gus enemy. The large red brown for
est ant is the sort that is the most
fatal TO the ophidianS, and the curious
thing about the attack of those tiny
creatures on this comparatively enor-
nous reptile is that they kill it for
food, and not on account of any nat
ural antipathy. When some of the
ants caught sight of q snake they
arouse the whole community at once.
In companies and battalions the little
fellows set upon the reptile, striking
their nippers into its body and eyes at
a thousand points at once. SO rapidly
and cOncCrtedly is this done that the
snake has no chance at all Of escaping
1t soon becomes exhausted and dies
ignominiouSly. Then the ants set
harder still at work. This may seem q
strange story, but it is true. They be
gin to tear off the flesh in small pieces,
gradually stripping off the skin and
working inside il. Not until they have
carried away everything except the
bones and skin itself do they cease
their attack.

NO SUCH THING AS DOG DAYS.
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
TO Animals Makes q Statement.

Our Animal Friends, the official organ
of the Society 1or the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals, prints leading ar
ticle in this months issue entitled
"Rabies and Hydrophobia; Dog Days"
Now, the very first observation we have
to make on this subject is that there are
no such days in the years calendar as
dog days" There are no days on which.
and there is no kind of weather during
which, dog is peculiarly liable to rabies.
Rabies is a rare disease at all seasons of
the wear. and there are no more cases of
rabies in July or August than in Decem-
Der or January. 1t follows. therefore,
that there is no kind of weather during
which dog is peculiarly liable to rabies
Rabies is a rare disease at all seasons of
the year, and there are no more cases of
rabies in July or August tnan in Decem-
that there is no more reason to dread our
family friend the dog, in hot weather
than III cold, and no more reason 10 dread
hydrophobia from his bite at one time of
the year than at another. The phrase
dog DAYS" is n false and misleading
phrase, which all humane persons ought
10 avoid in the interest of the dog.
They ought equally 10 avoid the
phrase in the interest of human beings;
for greatly and cruelty as dogs have been
made To suffer from the general dread OF
rabies, it is more than probable that I'M
man beings have been even more extern
terror of hydrophOba. The object of the
present article is chiefly to remove, as far
rs possible, the pcrnicious and utterly
unfounded terror which has produced
such injurious and often cruelty fatal re-
suits

When Victoria Went Visiting.

1t IS difficult to imagine Queen Vic
tOria as q window cleaner; but little
princesses, like other little girls, enjoy

ny vouches for this incident as novel
and true:
When a little child the Princess Vic
tora went with her mother to visit
Queen Adelaide. The Duchess of
Kent was obliged to leave the little
one alone with the Queen for some
time, and the latter, to make the Prin-
cess feel at home, said: Nov, my dear,
you have an hour to spend with me,
and you shall do exactly as you like"
Exactly as like" said the little
Princess, doubtfully.
Yes" replied the Queen, little mag
lining what was to follow.

child. may 1 be allowed to clean the
windows?"
Queen Adelaide was startled, but the
little one had her way, setting to work
with sleeves carefully rolled up and an
apron tied round her waist.

THE DEVIL FISH.
Peculiarities of this Much Dreaded
Creature Described.

The wonderful sucking power of the
devil fish is better understood when 1t Is
realized that each of the eight tentacles,
or arms, is covered with 800 or more
suckers, ranging in size from three men
eS in diameter near the mouth TO the
size Of a lead pencil point neaf the ends:
Once caught in the powerful grasp OF
one of these tcntacleS, nothing, whether
it be fish or human being, is ever re-
leased, unless the tentacles themselves
be cut in two and the octopus slashed TO
pieces. Even four or five of the elSnt
arms can be cut off and the monster VIII
still live and thrive.
The devil fish is of "a light pink flesh
color and has two bri ght green eyes us
body is shaped like a spider. the eight
tentacles radiating out from the head.
The mouth is on the under side. eXactly
in the center of the radiatlng arms: In
side the mouth is beak, or bill, shaped
exactly like a parrots. Everything
caught by the tentacles is carried to the
mouth, just as the elephant performs the
same act with his trunk. The stomach
contains a crude digestive apparatus.
The octopus has neither flesh. blood nor
bone, hut seems tC be composed of girls
tie. The eyes and small head are locat-
ed on the opposite side from the mouth.
The only use to which the octopus has
been put so far is to make food for the
Puget Sound Indians The Siwashes
take off the outside skin and boil the re-
naming mass of gristle into a delectable
stew.
The arch enemies of the octopus are
the d0gtiSh and shark. His only means
Of defense is the black fluid, or ink,

years ago had quart of this fluid in the
ink sack located near its intestines. As
found in the ink sack the fluid is much
