instantly toward you. And if the place Is all still, you have only to hide and squeak few times, when two or three muskrats will come out to see what the matter is. or what young muskrat has got into trouble.
 If you go often and watch you may see a good many curious things: see "Musquash" Chats his Indian name) digging a canal, or building his house, or cutting wood, or catching @ trout, or cracking a fresh-Water clam, or rolling a ducks egg along on the waters edge, so as not to break it, to his little ones in the den far below. And if you like ba- nanas, you may sometimes smack your lips at seeing him eat his banana in his own way. This is how he does it.
 First he goes to the rushes, and, div ing down, bites off the biggest one close to the bottom, so as to save the soft, white part that grows under water. Then he tows 1t to his favorite eating place. This Is sometimes the top of a bog, sometimes a flat rock on the shore, sometimes stranded log; but, wher- ever it is, he likes to eat in that one place, and always goes there when he is not too far away, or too hungry to wait.
 Crawling out to his table, he cuts off a piece of the stump of his rush, and sits up straight. holding 1t in his fore paws. Then he peels it carefully, pull ing off strip after strip of the outer husk with his teeth, till only the soft. white, luscious pith remains. This he devours greedily, holding it in his paws

ing the governors position the court says that nothing in the Constitution declares or implies that the governor has any power to prevent the submls- sion of Constitutional amendments to the people by the legislature. There IS no implied power, because there is no need to imply such a power It is true that the Constitution gives general power to the governor to disapproVe every order resolution and vote' of the legislature but this power relates
 to ordinary legislation, and not to the making or amendment of Constitu- tions. The legislature and the people alone have this responsibility. The right to approve or disapprove a law
 belongs to the governor, and not to the
 people The right to approve or disap- prove a Constitutional amendment be-
 longs to the people and not to the gov
 ernor.

How is this evil to be checked God knows if it depends upon the preachers they had better go to work. "
 Some portions of this deliverance seem to be worthy of the sibylline or Delphic oracles, but the reference to the preachers" hits the bulls-eye and ought to afford food for thought to this greatly overworked class during their impending vacation. AMMAN.
