Have you ever noticed the interest

d single cent? The next time that you
see a copper coin dropped In street
car just observe. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where II
dropped, and there Will be manifested
a real general concern over Its recov-
cry. Two or three heads are likely
TO come in contact over the point OF its
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconcerned, but In another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory OF the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there Is re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of finders keepers" has
arrived, and those near the spot of
disappearance become quite diligent
until they are aware they make cen
ter Of attraction. But interest i'm that
little coin Is not lost while there is a
passenger left, and when the car Is

The W oOtlehuck.

Perhaps no wild animal is more IA
miliar TO country people than the wood
chuck. Every hillside ana meadow Is
dotted with the small piles of earth
which mark the doorway to his home.
The woOdchuck prefers hillside or a
knoll in which to dig his hole, for here
he can easily make the end of his den
higher than the beginning, thus avoid
ing the danger of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in general
appearance than woodchuck and a
squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
belonging TO the same family OF NAM
mails. The trim body, sharp claws and
agility of the squirrels make II posi-
BILE for them to lead an arboreal life,
jumping recklessly from branch to
branch, while the habby form and
short legs Of the woodchuck better
adapt him for digging than for run
nng or climbing.
The nature OF the food Of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the ahipmunks do. nor is ii of
such a kind that il can be obtained
during the winter The case OF this
creature during the winter seems TO be,
therefore. ono OF "sleep long and
soundly or starve." During the win
tar's sleep or Information life processes
go on very slowly. Breathing is re-
'uced. and the heart beats become so
slow and feeble that they cannot be
felt. They come from their winters
