4 have had these young ones about six
months. They don't live long when
cooped up, and they win come freely
to my hand to eat or drink. Some Of
them arefso tame that they will climb
to my shoulder and display not the
slightest alarm at being touched. They
haven't acquired SO much faith Ia all
humanity, however, and have refused
to trust any one else SO far. ls
while mice eat q great deal for an
animal SO small when food Is abun-
dant, they can exist for q surprising
long time with next to nothing. Any
one whose house has been invested
with mice and who had passed weary
weeks when every thing that possibly
could serve as food was carefully un-
der lock and key, finally calling to
service an active ferret, will appreciate
this fact. He is a mighty aggressive
and tireless fora ger: after food. not
hesitating at walls or similar obstruc-
tions, through which he patiently
gnaWs path. AS a test OF persistence
in this line I hung a basket of food
from the ceiling 5byta rope and after
weeks fast placed a mouse at a hole
in the ceiling above the basket. He
descended some eight feet or more on
a slender cord and safely reached his
haven, later climbing up again. .a i. =

low or behind something, never in SO

PROSPECTS GOOD.
General Washburn Pleased With the
Outlook for the Crop Season in
North Dakota,

General w WaShburu Pleased With the
Outlook for the Crop Season il
North Dakota.
Minneapolis, March 14.-The approach
of seeding time has revived the interest
in the prospects for crops this year
Notwithstanding the severe drouth oi
last year, it is generally believed that the
heavy rains of last fall, which fell just
before freezing weather set in, has SC
thoroughly saturated the ground that
the moisture will be sufficient for the
next crop if no rain falls until the middle
Of July.
Senator W. D. Washburn recently
visited Bismarck and other cities oil
North Dakota in the interest Of his
Ignite trade and is confident that the
soilin that state will be in splendid con-
dition for the planting of grain this
spring. '% 2''
"There is no doubt that the soil OF
North Dakota received such complete
soaking from the heavy rains of late last
fall to insure ample moisture for all
crops until the middle Of July, at least
even if there should be no further pre-.
cipitation this spring. said Senator
Washburn. 'The ground has never been
in better condition, and unless some ethinre
unforeseen happens to the detriment 81
the next crop. believe the northwest
will retrieve the shortage of last year
with an old-fashioned bumper yield.
"The acreage il North Dakota will be
greatly increased this year, both Of fiaz
and wheat, and farmers will also raise
more stock than heretofore. A large
number Of settlers secured lands along
the Bismarck & Washburn road last
year, some of whom took up their resi-
dence at once, while others purchased
lands and will settle upon them this
year. The. first party to 60 to that sec.
ton this spring arrived last week with
their household goods, farm implements
etc, and win be ON the ground prepared
to put in their crops as soon as the
weather will permit. They are of the
better class of farmers, most of them
having money enough to purchase their
lands outright, while others Are able to
make liberal payments. The maiorityoi
them have seed and farm implements in
addition to their household goods. i
think the prospects for the acquisition oi
a large number OF people to the poputl.
lation Of North Dakota this spring and
for bountiful crops has never been more

Five at a Birth.

The Augusta Chronicle say: "Ellen-
ton is just now boAsLing of great in
crease In population and is only regret
ting the fact that the increase did not
take place before the census enumera-
made his rounds. The increase took
place few days ago on the plantation
of Mrs. Mary Dicks and WAS in the
shape of the birth of 8 quintette Ct lit
tie negroes to one mother on the same
day. The entire outf of babies weighed
forty pounds few hours after birth,
when they were all collected together
and put on the scale. All of the ba-
bies are robust and give every evidence
that they will grow up to be husky and
strong. Even the white people of the
community are elated that such great
record should have been made in their
midst"

Sensible Docs

The dogs in Central Borneo, it seems,
when wishing to cross q river, have
considerable difficulty in doing so, ow.
ing to the fact that slligstors find them
very toothsome morsels. They, there
fore, collect on the banks and make
terrific noise by barking and yelping as
loudly as they can. The alligAtors are
attracted to the spot by the noise, and
the dogs, IS soon as they see that their
bait is successful, set off up the bank
at top speed and GROSS higher up. A
Borneo traveller states that he has
watched this manoeuvre times without
number.

Thousand of drunken fish in MAidep

hundreds of people along the banks of
the stream at Reading, Pa, one day
last week. The distillery and ware
house of Aron DuDkle at Berkley were
burned and two hundred barrels of
whiskey were emprted into the water.
Bass, carp, catfish, sun-fsh and cells
hoated on the surface Some we're lively

lied and still. Tubs of fish were cap
tured before they got over their spree

Frogs and a Snake Play

The Anderson Intelligenoer is re-
sponsible for the following story: "a
few evenings ago, one of citizens,
while sitting on his piazza on East
boundary street, noticed that pedes-
trians passing under tho arc light on
the corner Of EAST Boundary and River
streets would invariably halt and 20
through the motion Of throwing some
thing from the sidewalk with their
feet. The citiZon grew curious and
wSlSed over to the light to investigate.
What henssw he could scarcely believe,
and fearing lest his recital should be
discredited he called two of his neigh
bors, gentleman and young lady, as
oo'wltnesses. Uuder the arolight were
about a hundred frogs forming circle
and In this circle was o snake. The
frogs were not croaking, nor was the
snake kissing Every fellow appeared
TO De attending to his own business
and all seemed in good humor and
perfectly happy. Recalling the unIver-
sal belief that snakes ara the mortal
enemies of frogs and that frogs are
thought to be dainty meal for snakes,
our cltlzens sat down to watch the per.
tormanoe. In short time it was dis
covered that there was no enmlty be-
tween the snake and frogs, but all were
there for common friendly purl ose,
the snake being the centre of attrsc-
ton. Miriads Of bugs are attracted By
The arc light and CIRCLE round and

tnen drop to the ground. 1t was no.
ticed that as they dropped the sntks
and frogs would jump for them, there
being lively competion between them
as to which would get the bug first.
After watching this rather singular per-
tormancs for some time, our citizens
killed the snake. 1t was an upland
moccAsin, and measured about three
feet"
