WoOdehUcks hibernate in pairs, but
I never knew one Of these provsrbisIly
sleepy creatures to Ieave its hole until
warm weather came-in spite OF the
alleged practice it has Of coming out
invariably on the second day Of Fsbru-
Ery to hx the weather for the rest OF
tho winter. I tsok the trouble once to

writer in the st. Louis Journal OF Agri-
culture, on = CandlsmEs day-Rnd q
warn, cloudy day it was; just such .
day when the ground hog Is said TO
come out OF his hole and stay out I
found two woOdehucks in the burroH,
with no moro sign OF life about them
than il they had been shot and killed.
From ElI outward appearances could
have taken them out and had q game

hibsr majors, from thu fact that they

tszatie and lonE-headOd providers for

Gus places in the woods where squirrels
have dug down through it to reach
nuts Or grain Or scOrns buried in the

which these little animals locate such
spots, covered as they are with maybe
q foot or more OF snow, is unerring and
marvellous.

Rear Admiral ". g Schlsy, having
been granted permission to answer the
charges recently made against him, on
Monday handed to the committee on
naval Affairs IN the senate his state
msnt in which he disclaims any pur-
pose Of controversy with the navy
department. The charges OF the de-
partment, be says, so far Is they relate
to him, can be summed up as follows:
Navy department. TO SchIsy: Ths department
looks to TOu 70 ascertain ths fact Of the presence
OF she enemy and that the enemy, IL in the har-
boz OF Santiago, does not leave without decisive
action.
Sehley 10 the navy department.: In obedience
70 tbs above order and without snE further
order or instruction from anyone, 7 did ascer-
tain the fEct thss the enemy vas st Santiago,
AID the snsmy did nos leave without decisive
sonEiet.
The admiral also quotes from the
dispatch Of Sampson Of May %, which
be says vas not printed IN the appen-
dix or in the executive document Q,
bet that he received it on the I'D, and
it shows that he was expected to hold
his squsdron OF Cienfuegos.
Speaking OF ''tke retrOgrEde move
ments," which the secretary Of navy,
adapting the language Of Admiral
Sampson, chsrscterizes as "rePrehen-
sibls conduct" Admiral Sehley says
that sin a years service never has such
language been used TO characterize
conduct Of mine, and I SEQ no reason
for it now"
