FOXES THAr EAT GRAPES.
Some Animals Evsnce Fondnesn
For Fruit and Nuts.

1t is well known that several species Of
the dog family in North America to some
extent feed on fruit. The domestic dog
is of course accustomed to a mixed diet,
Of which flesh constitutes only small
part. We have seen many dogs that
would eat apples and others that would
swallow down grapes as fast as they
were offered to them. Domestic animals,
however, have perverted tastes and offer
no sure guide as to what wild animals
will do.
On the northwest coast we have seen
the droppings of gray or timber wolf
which were composed almost entirely of
the seeds of the salmon berry, while it is
well known that the coyotes of the south
west feed TO q very considerable extent
on the fruit of the prickly pear. The
foxes of Alaska and the northwest coast
feed almost entirely on the wash of the
beach, which consists largely Of fish and
shellfish. Our own red fox in times of
scarcity eats fish, crabs shellfish, eggs
and even insects. The South American
guara lives largely on fruit and roots, as
does also the so called raccoon dog of
Japan. The African fcnnec, which is a
fox is fond of dates and is said to be
able TO climb the date palm in order to
obtain the fruit. There is crab eating
dog in South America, which may be as
sumed to take its name from the food it
lives on. In general terms, it may be
stated that the doglike animals of south
ern countries appear more disposed to
adopt vegetable diet than those inhabit-
ing the north.
The food habits of the raccoons and of
the bears are well understood to be ON
nivorous, and beechnuts are said some
times to be eaten by the fisher or black
cat (Mustela pennantii).
The gray fox is more given TO eating
! vegetable food than the conmoner red
/ fox of the north, although fruit is some
| times eaten by that species. 1t is said
l. that occasionally tie gray fox tears down
| the cornstalks and feeds on the corn in
| the milk. That knowledge of the fruit
eating habits of foxes is old is shown by
this quotation, attributed to him whose
name has become as Il proverb for wis
dom: Take us the foxes, the little foxes
that spoil the vines; for our vines have
tender grapes"
The fox grapes of eastern America
however. so familiar to every country
dwcller. are believed to have received
their name not from The fact that they
are eaten by foxes to any extent, MOI
from the further fact that they hane
high and SO are inaccessible, but from the
slightly foTy or musky od0r which the
clusters eXhalc.- Forest and Stream.

The Boatmnr,s Turn.

A boatman In the north of England
having been engaged to row reverend
gentleman over a rough part of a river,
was very much annoyed at the manner
he was addressed by the clergyman,
the conversation commencing thus:
Clergyman-My dear man, have you
ever studied geology"
Boatman-No, sor; Aa hevn't.
Clergyman-Well, my friend that's
part of a life lost, but you will proba-
bly, know a little theology
Boatman turning quite irritable)-
No; Aa knaw nowt aboot that either.
Clergyman-Well, that's another part
of life lost, my man.
Nothing more was said, as the water
was turning very boisterous and they
were in great danger, when suddenly
the boat gave a lurch and was cap
sized.
The boatman, being an expert swim
mer, took the situation quite coolly,
while his companion, who knew moth
ing of the art of swimming, was strug-
Cling for life. The boatman. who was
making good progress toward terra

following:
"Aa say, mister, do We know onny-
thing aboot swimologyT"
"No, my man; ! don't"
"Wey, what a pity" said the boat.

An Important Off &c.
From Kansas City Times

In the makeup of the democratic
state ticket the last, but not by any
means the least, place III point of i'm
portance is that OF railway and ware
house commissioner, and the people
OF Missouri should instruct their rep
resentatives to the Kansas City con
vention to see to it that a man is Sc
lected for this office who is not identi-
fed with any railroad company i'll
the state.
There are at present two railroad
men on tie board. and men connected
with railroads have dominated it for
number OF years past. Mr.. Joseph
tlOry, a railroad conductor, retlres
next january. after service OF SIX
years. Mr.. I. j. Hennessey, a loco
motive engineer, is now serving Ills
second term aud will remain on the
board two years longer.
The office was created for the peO-
pie and not for the railroads. 1t is
but fair that the railroads be repre-
scented on the board, but they should
not control it. This year, then, is
the time to nominate IA man who Ii
not in railroad service. A man OF
experience in state affairs, IA man OF
good Judgment and one OF tried III
tegrity should be selected. There are
several such candidates, and it would
be best for the party and the state ii
the selection OF the nominee be made
from this number. With Kentucky :
sad experience OF corporation dOmi-
nation before her, Missouri should be
careful as to the control of her public
offices. Corporations will be treated
justly and literally, but they must be
subservient to and not the masters
of the people.
