BUSHY-TAILED ANIMALS
Manner in Which They Make Use of Thsis
Tails When Asleep.

Some of our wild animals" said
naturalist, carry about with them all
summer that which nature has evident
ly intended as a substitute for their
winter hannels. / mean their tails of
course. So far as | have been able to
judge the bushy-tailed animals know
no other use for their tails than as pro-
lection against the cold. Did you ever
see fox sleeping? That is one sight
of which the most patient student OF
wild life cannot always boast, because
a fox is always wide awake and has a
general antipathy to being looked at.
My own observations with sleeping
ones have been confined to two that /
raised from pups. When it was cold
they would shrink up and seem fairly
to wrap their tails about them. When
the air grew warmer they would uncoil
little and sometimes discard the tail
entirely, just about as impatiently as a
sleeping child will kick off the covers
when he gets too warm in the night
| do not think that this attitude is
habitual with sleeping foxes. When the
weather was warm they did not curl
up at all, but lay sprawling with their
tails on the ground behind them
The raccoon makes the same use of
MS tail. Dlu you ever see one prepdr-
ing for nap? Like the fox, he goes
to sleep on his side, but he makes more
fuss about it than lazy lad getting up
in the morning. First he bitches up
his shoulders and arches his back, and
in the cavity thus formed he carefully
tucks away his knees and elbows and
head. Then he brings his tail up close,
the end of it curving over his head He
unwinds himself half dozen times be-
fore he gets curled up to his satsfac-
ton. and when finally arranged he re-,
sembles nothing quite so much as a
muff without the customary openings.
The squirrel also covers himself with
his tail, sleeping upright and propped
against something.
In fact concluded the naturalist.
this is true of every bushy-tailed ami
NAL | have been on terms of sufficient
intimacy to see asleep. 1t is very
kindly arrangement nature has made
for their comfort, and they do not seem
to mind very much carrying around
their winter tlannelS in the summer II

wherever they went they would prob
ably lose them, as the red man proves

neither he nor other people can safely In
he is a fraud and a hypocrite. There
are some natures SO evenly balanced that
they feel the need Of no stimulant; in fact.
any exciting influence is distasteful to
them. They wish their emotions to be
calm. moderate, and pleasant They do
not care for any sort Of gambling, or for
exciting and emotional literature; and If
they happen to have been brought up to
refrain from the use of liquor, they will
fail to understand how any man can waste
time and money in carousals. But they
may be perfectly sincere in all this. and
often are most useful and estimable citi-
zens, though they and their ways are apt
to be slightly Irritating to persons of a
different temperament. Such men are only
lovaDle when their general calmness Is
tempered with broad and gentle charity,
and then they become like great rock In
a weary land, restful to all less evenly bal
anced natures.
It is not temperance, but fanaticism, to

+. Dick, chairman Of the Republican state
Committee and Secretary Of the National
Committee, will go to Washington the lat
ter part of next week or the following week
TO shape up business of the National COM
mittee In readiness for the meeting which
Chairman Hanna will call for the middle
Of December. At that meeting the time
and place of holding the next national con-
yention will be determined
Colonel Dick is of opinion that the con-
vention will be held early in the summer
OF next year and will be given to some
Western city. Chicago seems to have the
call but there are at least a score
OF cities bidding for the honor.
Among them are Philadelphia, Pitts
burg. Buffalo, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Min
neapolis, Milwaukee, Denver, San Fran
cisco, and Omaha It is a thoroughly under
stood and settled fact that Colonel Dick
will succeed Charles L. Kurtz as the Ohio
member of the Republican National Com
mittee. The Republicans are charging
Kurtz with conspiracy to defeat Nash.
Hanna leaders declare openly that Kurtz
received $100,0G0 from Mclean to use in
rounding up the anti-Hanna Republicans
to sunDort the Democratic candidate. 1t
is understood that the Republican papers
will soon open an attack on Kurtz for the
purpose of sending him out Of the party.
The climax will come when he is deposed
from the National Committee and Colonel
Dick, one Of his bitterest enemies, is elect
ed to take his place.

with interest the elaborate dinner services
of the present day, in which there are a
hundred and fifty little silver things which
need to be catalogued before the old-fash-
ioned person can tell what they are to be
used for. They will wonder why We mingle
Greek, German, French, and English art
in one wild tumble in our furniture and
decorative designs, and why there are stern
gradations in society which prevent people
thoroughly sympathetic and congenial from
coming into contact. condemning them in
stead to association with those who are
uninteresting and tiresome to them. 1t
will take them a long time to figure out
the causes of all these social phenomena
There are hundreds of customs in any
society. handed down by tradition and
kept in force through habit rather than
