A Dog In . Glove.

There is no question that the beagle
is very old breed. Early Roman
accounts OF England contain refer
ences to the beagle even by name.
Books published from about 1850 to
1910 describe several varieties Of
hounds. including "the little beagle.
which may be carried in mans
glove" That the miniature hound
was extremely popular ut that time
was evident from Queen Elizabeth
keeping a pack which were also said
to be small enough to put in glove.
This statement is frequently ridiculed
when it is not understood that gloves
of that period were not the present
day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly
to the elbow. What became of those
glove beagles we may surmise from
what we know Of the results of later
attempts to maintain packs of beaglcs
of TO 10 inches high. the result after
some years being weak puppies that
fall short of the fine qualities of the
little hunting dog when they are grown
up.-Country Life in America.

NATURAL HISTORY.

Ostriches live to the age of about
sixty years.
The mandarin duck is one of the
most beautiful Of aquatic birds.
50 voracous is the cod that it will
swallow anything it sees in motion.
An eel has two separate hearts. One
beats 60, the other 100, times Il minute.
\ ladybird can travel 10000, ,OOO,OUO
times its own length in an hour. In
that time Il Sloth can only travel fifty
times its own length.
There is no country in the world in
which the raven is not found to be ma
live; it is also the only bird known to
OrnitholoGiStS which is of such cOsmo-
pOlitan character.
Only one existing reptile can sustain
itself in the air. This is the flying
dragon of the East Indies. 1t has no
real wings, but can glide from tree to
tree like Il flying squirrel.
The common house fly usually pro
duccs the note + in flying. To do so
it must vibratc its wings 333J times Il
second. The honey bee sounds \,
which means that its wing vibrations
are no to the second.

UTILIZING VACANT LOTS.
Interesting Experiment Being Tried
In Atlanta, Ga.

The city Of .\tlaslta, Ga, has started
q system for the utilization of its va
cant lots The Free Garden assOcia-
tlon has for its object the placing at
the disposal of the worthy poor such
vacant spaces as are loaned to the as
be cultivated and vegetables grown
on them, which shall be for the benefit
Of the planter. The idea has met with
such sympathy and interest from At
lanta's public that lots and funds have
been put ut the disposal of the associa-
tion and the plan is already in success
full operation.
a special committee from each ward
IS appointed to locate all vacant lots
within their districts and to obtain
the Use of the same free for the as
sociation and also to find such per-
sons as may wish to take advantage of
the plan. The applicant must apply
in person to the committee and must
be indorsed by two reputable citizens.
The application proving satisfactory.
Il plot of ground is then turned over
to him and all the seeds he may re-
quirc.
He puts in his time and labor as
his part Of the plan. a record of all
the lots loaned is kept at police head
quarters, and ample police protection
is afforded. The entire proceeds of
the crop belong to the planter, who Is
free to make such use of them as he
may see fit. Should the lot owner
wish to sell his lot or build thereon
during the garden growing period the
planter is then compensated for his
labor.
The department of agriculture In
Washington has indorsed the plan. and
much seed has already been furnished
by it, The idea is one which appeals
practically to ones philanthropic tend
cnccs. for it helps the poor to help
themselves.

water pipes and beds of rock to look
for. and the far end must reach Il GER
tain cell inside the jnil. To say that
! sweat blood over that job would be
drawing it mild. We went over or un-
der the pipes in the street. made Il
couple of elbows to avoid big rocks,
and finally reached the prison wall
From the wall we were to go under a
coal shed until reaching the prison
wall. and there would be no chance
to take sights above ground. For
tunately for us we struck nm old aban-
Ioncd sewer. and this saved us at
least a months digging. We followed

were twenty-five feet from the spot

it was months later before they crossed
