During the winter days the wild
creatures OF the woods and fields and
watery places of Florida enjoy sun
shine and balmy weather, and there
are many queer animals among them,
some of which are not found in the
north. One OF the most curious of
these native inhabitants of the Glover
land" issthe trading mouse" This
little creature derives it's name from
its peculiar habit of carrying things
away and always leaving something
in exchange. 1t inhabits houses and
the woods. and there is nothing that
it can handle which it will not try to
carry off. If it succeeds it will leave
what it evidently thinks is q fair
equivalent. frequently a trading
mouse will carry away a quantity of
beans, for instance, and will leave a
pile of weed seeds that it has gathered
in the meadow. The object of the
mouse seems to be to put something
in place OF the stolen articles in order
that the latter may not be missed. 1t
has been known to steal jewelry and
leave small bits of wood or weed stalks
where the jewelry has been. The
trading mice are similar in appear
ance to our common mice and, like
them, prefer to travel about in dark

WHAT SOUTH AFRICANS EAT.

The Peculiar Diet Of the Native savages
Ants and Mice.
German missionary who has just re-
turned from South Africa recently de-
livered a lecture before the Berlin Geo
graphical society, in which he brought
forward the following particulars con-
corning the peculiar diet Of the native
savages of the Transvaal. especially as
noticed among the Basutos, the tribe
which is now threatening to take up
arms against the British, says the Phil
adelphia Record. One of their most
characteristic hunts is the mouse hunt.
Twenty to thirty Basutos gather to-
gether; they march of carrying strips
Of nets made by them for this purpose
and, accompanied by large number
of dogs, about whose bodies different
sized bells are bound. The dogs make
a big sweep round the countryside,
while the Basutos attach their various
strips of nets into one long semicir-
cular barrier, the lower part Of which
Is pinned to the ground. Then,
crouching upon the ground and holding
their sticks ready, they wait the COM
ing of the mice. These, frightened by
the bells dangling from the dogs, grad
ually draw nearer and nearer to the
net, along which they are at last found
running in vain effort to discover
an opening through which they may
escape. When the number of these
victims is sufficiently great a shrill
cry is emitted by the chief, the net Is
pushed forward all along the line, and
the struggling creatures caught In the
meshes of the net are numerically
whipped to death by the jubilant saw
ages. Monkeys, constitute one OF
their favorite tid-bits, which are all
the more appreciated as they are not
SO readily caught. Snakes are sim
ply killed with blows from a switch
and are generally in high favor. Ac-
cording to the missionary their pop
ularity is well deserved. He himself
formed the chief attraction and found
that this animal could be favorably
compared with 8 prime eel. Most
popular of all delicacies, however, are
the caterpillars. 1t Is not unusual to
learn Of quarrel which has broken
out among the natives for their pos
session. The most favorable time for
catching them is the early morning and
late evening hours, when their wings
are heavy with dew and they are un-
able to see clearly. The children OF
the mission, numbering about 400, hav-
ing organized locust hunt, succeeded
one day in capturing no less than 160
pounds of these insects, which were
consumed with the greatest avidity
before the day had passed. At certain
times Of the year the great white
winged ants leave the earth, and 1t Is
then that most jealous competition
arises between the Kafir children and
the chickens of the dorp for the pos
session Of the priced morsels. 1t Is at
such times that the Kaf1r youngsters
may be seen running about with their
mouths stuffed full of ants, and. IL the
chase has been especially successful.

where Dewey,s Lion Lives.

The baby lion, which Admiral
Dewey named Chichester, in honor of
the British commander at Manila, was
given to Father Reaney, and that
gentleman, the chaplain of the Olym-
pia, left the cub temporarily in the
Reaney household at Detroit. Ac-
cording to the News-Tribune Chi
chester's working hours were mainly
employed in eating potatoes and lap
ping milk, but when he was not thus
engaged he wanted to play.
And then. when night came, Chi
chester was like any other baby-he
wanted sympathy and attention. II
left in his cage he would set MP a
dreadful bowling as if all the banshees
of Ireland were on his trail.
Yow-o-o-o-o-o-o!! O-wow-wow-
ow-ow-ow-owl
These were some of Chichesters
favorite expressions.
And words couldn't calm Chichester.
OF course you can't rock baby lion
to sleep or carry him in your arms,
but you can and must take him for q
walk, and so many a wee sma' hour
Chaplain Reaney might be seen lead
ing the precious pet around the house,
Chichester all the time showing his
appreciation by purr SO gentle that
it awoke the family.
In his gratitude he would frisk
about aud knock over chair or two,
inst for finn. Then when Mt dusk he
got tired and seemed fast asleep in
his little bed, he would wake up and
arouse his now Disguised owner with
cries that meant plainly enough thai
he wanted something to eat, and
wanted it right away.

At Hanging Owing to mistake
About q Reprieve.
1.-THE dramatic interruption OF the
Wright hanging over in Gretna," said
New Orleans lawyer, reminds me Of
a strange and tragic episode which oc-
Cured years ago at little river town
In kentucky, where / first began the
practice of law. I'll tell you the facts
| in a few words. A worthless white
man named Jim Early had murdered
an old farmer under very atrocious cir
cumstances, and was convicted and
sentenced to death. AS Is often the
case with such men, Early had most
excellent and devoted wife, and she
moved heaven and earth to save his
neck, but without success. She did ev-
erything humanity possible. and the day
| before the hanging, when she finally
realized that her efforts were In vain,
| she made formal application to the
court to be allowed TO have her hus-
bands remains, which would otherwise
| have been turned over to a medical
college. The next morning the Judge,
in glancing over his papers. happened
to remember that he hadn't written the
| official order for Early's body, and, do
ing so in some haste, gave 1t to clerk

it over to an old deputy. saying, Here.

The judge has granted that order foe

paper to be rcprieve, started bare
headed on a run for the Jail. He ar
rived just as the poor woman was bid
ding her husband good-by in front OF
his cell, and thrusting the paper into
her hand he bawled out: Stop It! Stop
everything! Here's reprieve!' For a
| moment everybody stood petrifed
Then one of the officers began to un-
bind the prisoner, and Mrs. Early, Sob
bling and weeping and calling out that
God had answered her prayers, fiunG
herself into his arms. The paper had
fallen to the floor, and the sheriff

afterward that he felt as II he had re.

he read the contents. Instead Of re-

that long years ago had been forest
trees and beautiful plants.
Then came day when the ''clangl
clang!" of the pickaxe reached the
quiet resting place of Little Fern.
Nearer and nearer drew the sounds,
and finally there was burst of light,
a blow from tool that shattered the
surrounding rocks. and Little Fern
fell at the feet of man. Such cold,
stiff Little Fern, all made of stone!
The pretty green color was gone, but
the leaves were there. and even the
veins, just as they had been thousands
of years before, when Little Fern was
fresh and young.
Look here, Harry" said the miner,
picking up the piece of stone and
handing it to his companion, your
little boy will be interested in this
fossil"
So once more the bright sun shone
upon Little Fern, as it was carried to
the miners home. Longing fingers
touched tho shining, dark leaves,
and bright eyes gazed in wonder as
the story of the Little Fern was told
to the children. After its calm, happy
life in the woods, after its long, peril

from the day and night for ages. Little
Fern has now become a household

Once upon time, long ago, there
was dear little fern growing in the
woods. 1t first crept out of the
ground wee, tender thing. rolled in
pale green spiral, which opened day
by day until Little Fern stood up aud
faced beautiful world. Warmed by
the sun, fed by the rain, it grew
dainty and fair as those you and I
love to gather in the woods. But no
eager hand reached down to pluck
Little Fern, for in all the great lovely
earth there were no people to enjoy
its beauty. The signing of the wind
in the trees, the music of brook near
by, were the only sounds to be heard.
One day great storm came. Louder
and louder blew the wind through the
tree tops. Day after day the rain
fell, wider aud wider grew the little
brook. Could this raging, roaring
torrent have been the sweet musician
of the forest but week ago! At last
the rushing water came so near that
frail Little Fern was caught by the
stream and whirled away.
Over and over, round and round,
down to the bottom, up to the top
not moments rest for Little Fern!
Flung against stones, hurled among
floating branches. tossed amid leaves
and twigs, bruised by sand and gravel,
for the brook in its haste carried along
everything in its reach. For days

and sand and gravel. Little Fern sank
to the bottom.
Every day the stream brought more
sand and gravel, and they were burie
deeper and deeper; and it seemed
quite certain the sun would never
shine upon Little Fern. Year after
year, hundreds and hundreds of years
passed, and Little Fern was buried
under many feet of earth. Gradually
the tiny fern, once so fragile that a
baby's hand might easily have crushed
it, became harder, until it turned to
stone. The sand and gravel, too, be.
