his many summer feasts Of led cloN er
* illeu ,hiS nest nearly full OF leaves
crawleu into the middle al the long
mass, and curling himself up into a
bail, went 70 sleep" The woodchurk's
appetite makes him the plague OF every
farmer, and his queer and interesting
ways make him the delight OF every
farmers boy. II We dig him out of
his home in the winter, we shall find
what appears to be q football covered
with fur. Let us take him in by the
warm fire in the farmhouse, and soon
he will wake up, but in such drowsy
way as not to be frightened Before
long he will roll up and so to sleep
again. He is the saundest Of the
winter sleepers. The gray squirrel
sleeps" (hihernates, 1t is really) only
in the coolest weather; the chipmunk
sleeps more. but awakeS from time to
time for a nibble at his store Of nuts.
but the woodchuck sleeps continually
for about six months, In middle and
late summer he lives alone, and for a
large part OF the time sits perfectly
still at the mouth OF his hole, The
scientific people name him Arctomys
monaX, Those of you who have COM
menced to study ancient tongues know
that monaX means monk; so you see
grown-up people have their fancies
when they say in this scientific name
that this is the hear-mouse monk,
While woodchuckS are not rapid run
ners, il is very difficult to catch them,
for they usually go but a little way
from the hole. and keep a sharp watch
to see if any one is coming Some
times the farmers boys dig out the
whole family of woodchucks in the
spring. John Burroughs tells In
'Riverby' an interesting story about
feeding milk to young woodchucks,
and says that they would hold a spoon
in their littel shining black paws; and
in "Pepacton' he tells how the farm.

ROER WOMEN CAN FIGHT.
American Girl Describes Situation
in the Transvaal

A Boston dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Record says.
One Of the best descriptive stories
OF the life and characteristics Of the
south African Dutch that has been told
in this country since the outbreak of
hostilities between the British and
the beers was related Wednesday by
Miss Alice Kellogg, who Is stopping
with a friend, Mrs. Chase, at 10 Ian
caster street Cambridge.
Miss Kellogg arrived IN this country
two weeks ago, after three years
stay in south Africa, and this makes
her story an up-to-date narrative
Miss Kellogg is a graduate Of the class
Of 1894 of Wellesley. and taught class
in English in the Wellington Unlver-
sity, at Cape Town.
There Is no question:" said she
that the beers are outwardly n very
religious people, They believe the
Bible literally, and have not theslght-
est doubt that the world was made in
six days. In their homes they have
prayers at least twice a day, and 1t
must be admitted that they support
their minister In much better way
linacially, than do the people OF some
more progressive countries; and these
ministers, by the way, are very in
lluentlai factors In the community life
Of the beers filling almost the role of
local popes.
once in a while, however one will
hear OF an incident that will serve to
shake ones belief iE the universal
sincerity OF the boer religion There
was one instance within my own
knowledge, whore an elder OF the
church killed a native without hay-
ing the excuse Of self-defense, and who
afterward actually boosted Of the deed.
1t is hard to believe. OF course, that
that man was a sincere Christian
AS to the boer women, Miss KEEL
logg's studies Of the fair sex in the
Transvaal have left about the same
impression upon her mind as In the
case OF most other visitors to the
country.
''rhe boer women" said she, are
essentially domestic. az Is well known,
and would say" she added, laugh
