Hox md WoodchucIs.

The Joy of pursuing the woodchuck
is a part of the happiness of rural life.
The boy is lacking in physical develop
ment and In numerous mental and
moral qualities growing out of the ex-
perience who has not spent day pour
ing water down woodchuck hole on
the hillside with a view to drowning
out the occupant. This is said to re-
fresh the woodchuck, and, as for the
boy, it toughens his muscles as no COM
pulsory labor could do, and it cultivates
patience, hope and persistency. Given
a good brook, an ample hole and an in
dustrious boy, full days work on the
outside and a complacent woodchuck
on the inside may be safely guaran-
teed.-Hartford Courant.

Brown For Autumn.

From Paris comes the announcement
that brown is to be a prevailing au-
tumn color A rather strong tobacco
shade 1t will be, with a suggestion Of
red in It's. composition. But of all neu-
trail tints brown is the one that re-
quires the greatest care In selection.
When 1t suits the wearer, 1t is "hor-
rid" Brown and burned orange, by
the way, are delightful alliance when
carefully combined. Just a touch Of
orange in velvet or soft satin and pro-
vided the brown is sufficiently strong a
relieving note of black is effective.

vu1turrs and mathematics.

When the international boundary
commission resurveyed the lines be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
there were naturalists in the party.
DR.. Mearns. who. with his assistants,
collected many specimens Of birds and
mammals, tells Of a fight in the air be-
tween California vulture and a rat
tlesnake which he saw while exploring
the Cocopah mountains of Lower Cal
ifornia.
1t was In the early morning. The big
bird had seized the snake behind the
head and was struggling upward with
its writing, deadly burden. The
snakes captor appeared aware that its
victim was dangerous. The burden
was heavy. as the reptile was nearly
five feet long.
The grip of the bird on the snakes
body was not of the best The snake
seemed to be squirming from its cap
tors talons, ut least sufficiently to en-
able it to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoil and dart at the mass
of feathers
1t did this once or twice, and then,
with a shrek, the vulture dropped it's
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The aston
ished men were then treated to a spec
tacle seldom seen. Few birds but q
vulture could accomplish such a feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches it dropped earth
ward like shot and, like a shot, the
bird dropped after it, catching it in
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to d
mountain peak to devour its hard earn
ed meal.-Youth's Companion.

when | was a young man." said q
San Francisco artist, "a friend of mine
who returned from China brought
home lot of pearl shells beautifully
etched or engraved with figures and
landscapes on the inside of the shells.
l did not marvel so much at the en-
craving as l did at the cheapness of
the shells. l couldn't help thinking
that some of the engravings must have
taken day or two to make. and yet
they sold for little or nothing, my

"On my request he made an investi-
CATION of the subject and discovered
that the Chinese had used the follow
ing plan: Instead of craving the pic
ture into the hard shell, an operation
that would have been laborious and
slow, the Chinese drew the sketch on a
little scrap of tea lead and inserted it
into the pearl oyster shell when 1t was
tender. The inside of the shell In this
manner got an impression of the sketch
from the tea lead picture, and as soon
as it was sufficiently well printed the
Chinese would take the lead out and
insert 1t in another shell, and SO on.
That's how the carved shells came to
be so cheap or at least that was the
explanation that was made to me by
my friend"
