DEATH OF A NOTED FOX.
For Many Years the CID Fellow Had
Been Faithful standby of
the Eager Hunters.

George Washington, the hoary and
sporty old fox that has lived in the
South Valley hills at Valley Forge for
so many years. and has figured in a
score or more hunts, met with tragic
end few days ago by being torn to
pieces by pack of hounds.
About a dozen members of the Perki
omen, Port Kennedy. Washington and
Black Rock hunts. with a pack of 20
hounds, turned out one morning for
hunt After beating around the valley
hills for an hour the hounds succeeded
in jumping" old George Washington,
and lively chase followed. FoNey did
some pretty lively running among the
hills for half an hour and then made
break across the open country toward
New Centerville, with the hounds in
close pursuit. From Cedar Hollow, the
fox made a good run through Charles
town township, and then headed for
Valley Forge. with the hounds very
close to his heels. Finding that he was
likely to be picked up in the open
stretch of country that lay before him,
be popped into a grounding hole when
he was halfway back. and none too
soon, for The hounds were close ON him.
The hur tcrs got picks and shOTels, and
as the Eoie proved shallow. they Uncov-
e~ed him after an hours digging.

of the Black Rock hunt seated him on
the pommel of his saddle and started
off for Valley Forge. surrounded by
| the pack. He had not proceeded far,
however. when the old fox made a wild
leap and went bounding among the
hounds. He had scarcely touched the
ground before dozen of ne dogs were
on him. and before Mr.. Davis could
a.ight from his horse the old fox had
been nearly torn TO pieces. The hounds
were driven away. and when the hunt
crs came up and saw what had hap
pened they almost cried. for they would
| rather have lost horse or COW than
| lost old George. Mr.. Davis secured the
brush.
Old George was great runner. and
| Lad figured in many big hunts. He was
frequently captured and kept for big
| drop-hunts. and while he often made
| narrow escapes. he always managed to
| save himself by some trick or good
stroke of luck. All regret that he was
fated to meet such an sportsmanlike

NEW CANADIAN POST STAMP.
1mperialists in England Object to Its Pc
cular Motto)
that Canada does not hold this vast
empire. though it may be part OF one.
One paper has it that the adaptation Of
the motto seems to be somewhat after
the manner of Esop's frog, who would
be thought as big as an OK, but who un-
fortunately burst just as he was admir-
ing his proportions. 1t is, in fact. de-
manded in some quarters that the en-
tire issue be recalled, thus puncturing
Mr. Mulocl's creation.
No less parsonage than the British
admiral. Algernon de Horsey, has
rushed into print to give expression to
his views anent the Mulock stamp. In
a letter to the London Daily Graphic,
dated Cowes, England, Admiral de Hor-
sey says:
I read In the Daily Graphic Of this day .
report that the Canadian imperial penny
stamp is to be inscribed with the words:

If a man were to adorn his hat with the
motto: Il have vaster estate than any
one else" passers-by would both ridicule
him and be inclined to knock his hat off,
If not his head t..-.
Similarly the proposed inscription on the
penny stamp will only excite the dislike
and ridicule of other nations ..
Doubtless the Daily Graphic is largely
read in Canada. Pray use your influence
to stop such silly braggadocio, and to in
duce the authorities to substitute the sim

If the postal department in Canada has
already printed these stamps with the vain
glorious motto, may humbly suggest their
oDliteration and subsequent sale at (say)
half crown apiece to stamp collectors,
who would quickly buy them up as monu-
mentS of bad taste-so far as the motto is
concerned.
Penny postage throughout Great
Britain and possessions has long been
the dream of Mr.. j. Henniker Heaton,
NJ. p, Of London, who has visited Can
ada and other colonies in behalf Of
his scheme. When Mr.. Heaton was in
Chicago four or five years ago he made
the prediction that imperial penny
postage would be a fact throughout the
British empire within ten years. He
has all but succeeded, for Canada S new
two-cent stamp will carry letter to
the following countries: United King

ish India, Newfoundland, Natal, Ja-
maica, Bermuda, Barbados, Bahama
islands, British Guiana, British Hon
duras, British East Africa, British Cen
trail Africa, Niger Coast Protectorate,
Niger company's territories, Uganda,
Alden, Ascension, Sarawak, Malay
States and Johore.
Although the stamp will take let
ter to the above distant countries Can
adams are disgruntled because they are
still required to pay the old rate of
three cents for all domestic letters. 1t
is said 1.-The discrimination has been
wisely determined upon to encourage
British trade and to unity the empire" >"
and now Canadians themselves are ask
ing: What is the objection to the en-
couragement of Canadian trade and the
unification of Canada? and why should
Canadian doing business with another
Canadian be compelled to pay higher
price for the carriage of his letters than
is chargeable to the Canadian ordering
goods from London. Liverpool or the

Mr.. Marconi is a very young man,
not yet thirty years Of age. Born at
Bologna. but Of English parentage on
his mothers side, he speaks fluent and
perfect English. with a slightly foreign
gravity of manner which bellies his
youth. He is. as he processes, an am
ateur electrician, and exceedingly mod

comparison with some OF the no doubt
well meaning chroniclers who have
even unduly belauded them. He has
been, according to the Pail Mall Maga-
Zine. about four years at work on the
particular subject of wireless teleg-

that electric waves generated by
sparkling apparatus OF the kind used
by the lamented German physician,
Heinrich Hertz, would not only carry
to long distances, but were unaffected

stacles. At this date two miles was
the maximum distance reached, while
English observers had accomplished

delible unless they are taken out at

OF removing mildew is as follows: Mix

titles OF powdered starch and salt.
Squeeze In the Juice OF lemon. Spread
This mixture on the mildew spots on
both sides; spread the spotted cloth on
the grass and let 1t lie in strong sun

morning. then turn II over and let II
bleach another day on this side Take
the cloth up and rinse It well. OF
course such stains can only be removed
from white goods. as this stain erad-
icator would remove the color from col
ored goods. Remove iron rust stains
with salt wet to a paste with lemon
juice. 1t is said that the Juice of to-
mato and salt are equally efficacious.
