A Family Chain Cleaner.

A good family chain cleaner can be
made by fixing an old sprocket wheel
on an axle attached to a post or other
upright. :. A small tin pail should be
paced beneath the wheel, so that the
chain, when placed on the wheel, will
hang down in the pail. To clean the
chain the pail is Allied with kerosene
and the chain is passed rapidly through
it by revolving the wheel until clean.

the Kentucky campaign, in which
many strong men succumbed.

THREE CUTE LITTLE FOXES.

black and white hairs. The hair is
long and thick during the colder
months of the year, so that the fur
of fox which is killed in the winter
is more valuable than if the animal
had been slain in the hot months.
The tail, which is technically termed
the 'brush," is remarkably bushy,
and partakes of the tints which pre-
dominate over the body, except at the
tip, which is white. The height of
this animal is about a foot, and it's
length about two feet and half, ex-
elusive of the tail.
A favorite pastime in England is
fox hunting. A very powerful scent
is poured forth from the fox from
glands near the root of the tail, that
furnish the odorous secretion.
It is by this scent that the hounds
are able to follow the footsteps of a
flying fox, and to run it down by their
superior speed and endurance. The
fox, indeed, seems to be aware that
it's pursuers are guided in their chase
by this odor, and puts in practice
every expedient that it's fertile brain
can produce in order to break the con.
tinuity of the scent or to overpower
it by the presence of other odors
which are more powerful, though not
more agreeable.
Even when tanned it preserves its
singular cunning. A tame fox that
was kept in q stable yard had man
aged to strike up friendship with
several of the dogs, and would play
with them, but could never induce
the cats to approach him. Cats are
very sensitive in their: nostrils.s and
could not endure the odor. They
would not even walk upon any spot:
where the fox had been standing,
and kept as far aloof as possible from
him.
The crafty animal soon perceived
that the cats would not come near
him, and made use of this knowledge
to cheat them Of their breakfast. sAss
soon as the servant poured out the
cats allowance Of milk, the fox would,
run to the spot and walk about the
saucer, well knowing that=none of the
rightful owners would approach the
defiled locality. Day after day the
cats lost their milk, until the stsatss
gem was discovered and the MIX
placed in a spot where il. could nst he
reached by theafox. -National Rural.

A H0SpITABLE CAT.
He Share. Hi. Dainty Meal. with the
Half-Starved Fence Haunters
of the Neixhhorhood.

A cat owned in Brooklyn has been
trained to enjoy being lifted up by his
tail. AS a reward for this exercise,
before he really began to delight in
the sensation, he used to demand and
receive food on plate in the back yard.
At first no one could understand why
he refused to eat in the house, but
eventually it was noted that as soon as
he got the meal number of homeless
cats appeared in the yard, though not
one had been in sight when; the plate
was filled.
Dewey (all cats are named Dewey

that no sooner was he by himself with
his food than his loud. meow called
in the visitors. They were AL OF the
thin, half-starved class of back fence

parted, and out shambled a huge
black bear.
To any other man, alone in the
depths of the forest far from all help,
those long, white fangs a1d thick,
strong limbs and mighty claws, would
have been terrible sight; but not so
for the stout-hearted Russian.
He leveled the short, hunting spear
which was his only weapon, except
the broad-bladed knife in his girdle,
and planting his feet firmly awaited
the onset of the bear, which, after
watching him doubtfully for a mo-
ment with its small, sullen eyes, came
charging at him open mouthed.
A shock, rush, savage growl,
and Yury found himself sprawling on
his back among the bushes, with the
bears grim jaws gaping over him.
But the monster was hampered for
a moment by the shaft of the spear
which had been driven home into its
shaggy breast; and the moment saved
Yury.
He sprang to his feet again just as
one crunch Of. the q terrible teeth
snapped the strong spear like, sealing
wax; but he had lost shiss best weapon,
and had now only hi, XII life left.
And now the struggle beg an in ear
nest. The bear, furious With pain.
strove 6ercely to close, while Yury
warily eluded it, seeing that it was
bleeding freely, and must grow weak
er every moment.
But at length he found himself fair
ly hemmeu in, with an impenetrabl
mass Of bushes behind Him, and the
bear in front. Only one chance was
left.
As the bear rose upon its hind feet
for the fatal hug Yury ducked nimbly
under the extended paws, and dashed
himself, knife in hand, right under
the huge black body. Z

and then Yury arose unharmed, and
