Cheery-Eatinr Foxes.

1t is well known that several species
of the dog family in North America to
| some extent feed on fruit. The do
nestle dog is. of course, accustomed
to mixed diet, of which flesh consti-
tutes only a 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 per-
verted tastes, and offer no guide as to
what wild animals will do.
On the northwestern coast we have
seen the droppings of gray or timber
wolves which were composed almost
entirely of the seeds of the salmon
berry. while it is well known that the
coyotes of the southwest feed to a
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 shell flesh; our own red fox in
times OF scarcity eats fish, crabs, shell
fish, eggs and even insects. The South
American guara lives largely on fruit
and roses as does the so-called raccoon
Cog of Japan. The African fennec,
which is fox, is fond of dates, and is
said to be able to climb a date palm in
order to obtain the fruit There is a
crab-eating dog in South America,
which may be assumed to take its
name from the food it lives on. In
general terms. it may be stated that
the dog-llke animals of southern coun-
tries appear more disposed to adopt a
vegetable diet than those iHhabiting
the north.
The food habits of the raccoon and
Of the bears are well understood to be
omnivorous, and beechnuts are said
sometimes to be eaten by the fisher or
black cat. The gray fox is more given
to eating vegetable food than the COM
morer red fox of the north, although
fruit is sometimes eaten by that
species It is said that occasionally the
gray fox tears down the cornstalks and
: feeds on the corn in the milk. That
knowledge of the fruit-eating habits OF
foxes of ola is shown by this quotation,
attributed to him whose name has be-
come as proverb for wisdom. 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
dweller. are believed to have received
their name not from the fact that they
are eaten by foxes to any extent. nor
/ from the further fact that they hang
high and so are inaccessible. but from
the slightly foxy or musky odor which
the odor exhibit.-From Forest and
Home.

Chicago to Europe for Pleasure.

Chicago is beginning to build steam
ers for direct voyage to European
ports The Counselman quartet of
ships, 265 feet long, AZ feet wide, are
not primarily intended for passenger
service. Their size is dictated by the
width of the Welland canal and st.
Lawrence river. Smaller ships and
slower have made the ocean crossing
successful. Ocean travel for pleasure
ought TO be slow travel. The crowded,
numbering big ships are too thronged
and too speedy. The pressure and
hustle OF one side of the world is
scarcely forgotten on them before that
of the other side begins. Chicago has
done wonderful things in her time.
Odessa was once the great grain center
of the world. Chicago took away her
title. When the sanitary canal shall
become a ship canal Chicago will have
learned Low to build great ocean
steamships. Meanwhile it is no rash
prophecy to predict that from this
port passengers will be setting out in
a year or two for pie lsure ard health
trip to Europe.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Princess chimay.

Nothing" says the London Chronl-
Gle, has been heard of Princess Chi
may for a long time, but probably this
is due to the fact that her domestic
troubles are now at an end and that
her husband has forgiven her for her
indiscreet adventures with the Hun
garian gypsy Rigo. The prince and
princess are now in Paris, and the last
that was heard of the violinist Rigo
was to the effect that he was some
where in Africa. Photographs of the
princess are no longer on sale either II
Paris or Vienna, and big sums are con.
sequently offered for the picture OF her
as she appeared on the Partisan

HOW A STRIKE is ORGANIZED.
Some of the Difficulties When Many
Nationaities are Involved.

AS may readily be imagined, it is
no easy task to organize the discord-
ant elements representing a dozen diff
ferent nationalities into labor union.
In practice it has been found necessary
to form the unions on the lines of Ian
guage. Among the employees Of a
eingle company there will be found an
English-speaking union, an Italian
union, Magyar union, and perhaps
half dozen others. Their meetings
are separate. unless the proposal for
a strike calls for united action, and
obliges them to meet together.
1t is difficult to imagine any scene
more picturesque and dramatic than
one of these union meetings, where diff
ferent and ordinarily discordant races
are gathered under a single roof and
for single purpose. The day before
the big strike was ordered attended
such a meeting few miles outside Of

Swearing Is Easv.

There are about 1000 corporations
doing business in Texas, each of which
has, by its proper officer, filed an afii-
davit to the effect it is not a trust and
that 1T has no connections with trust.
Among the concerns operating In
Texas are some recognized as branches
of the largest combinations In the
entire country. 1t becomes a question
whether these so-called affidavits are
true. If trust or other combination
can escape the consequences of its
schemes by simply having hired off,
cial TO swear that the combination does
not exist, then we must content our
selves in the assurance that trusts do

Gave Up His Job.

a good joke is going the rounds that
during the progress of a sanctified
meeting at Island, KY, an over-zeal-
GUS brother concluded he was the
means of transportation from this
earth to the better land. So, lower
ing himself upon his hands and knees,
he cried out: ANY one who wants
to go to heaven, get on and let's CO."
Two or three men rode the brother to
the front. where he threw them OF
like a bucking broncho, when upon
his return he called for another pas
senger, and young man equipped
with two heavy spurs mounted the
conveyance provided and began to
drive the rowels into each side, which
caused the improvised mule to
quicken his pace, and the passenger
was soon landed. Thus ended the
scene, andn other happy convert has
had the privilege of riding into
heaven at this meeting upon the rep
resentative Baal's animal, for he did
not like the spurs.-Calhoun (Ky)

uNsANITARY SLEEPING CARS.
New York Man Finds Reasons for
Complaint.

Complaint.
A correspondent in the New York
Herald says: Permit me to make a
strong plea to your paper for an agita-
ton which may end in complete re-
form of the present furnishings of a
sleeping car. OF the comforts of the
present system of American sleeping
cars shall say nothing. All know
that the comforts are greater than the
discomforts, and that we are all glad
to avail ourselves of the sleeping car,
but there are many furnishings in a
sleeping car which are Simply horrible,
obsolete, and not in keeping with the
advance of the times. l refer to the
heavy stuff curtains which surround
the berths, and to the heavy wooden
blankets which are used for covering.
1 am strongly of the opinion that these
should be Of cotton, so that at the end
of each trip they might be washed and
sterilized and issued fresh for an ensu-
ing trip.
The heavy wooden coverings at pres
emit one night cover consumptive,
whose exhalations infect them; an
other night a catarrh infected person,
and other nights they cover and in
close all sorts of contagious and infec-
tious diseases, so that the physically
sound occupants of these berths often
contract diseases from their prece-
dents.
A necessary reform is in the cover
of &c nd
instead of being covered with heavy
plush velvet and such like rough stuff,
to which microbes and germs are pecu-
liarly liabale to cling. should be COW
cred with material which could be
sterilized or disinfected daily. The
heavy plush and other carpets of the
floors also should be of fiber which
would allow of disinfection and cleans
ing. At present such carpets are a
horror.
One of the gravest nuisances con
nected with sleeping cars is that of the
car porter, who every morning, with 6
clothes broom, brushes off from each
individual the germ laden dust accum
ulated on the journey. Inns dust fills
the car in clouds and is inhaled by the
occupants, to their great discomfort
and extreme physical danger. Often
too, passengers come aboard who have
been recently in houses containing
sick or whose clothes are infected b!
sickness, and these people have an!
germs which they may carry on theil
clothes brushed OF into the air of The
car for their fellow passengers to in
hale.
| must strongly refer to the made
quate toilet facilities. l have after
travelled in sleepers containing Jwc
wash basins, in which fifteen to twent.
men have tried to battle in thirty min
utes. Instead of two basins there
should be more and of a more modern
and common sense type. In word
sleeping cars should be, more than an!
other cars, thoroughly hygienic, in
stead of the horrible begilded, he
pushed, bemirrored, ostentatious vul
garity on wheels that they now are.
