A Queens Daring.

The talk about the Queen of the

Gus she would have been the right

pony phaeton across the railway near
Laeken. She generally timed her
crossing for the closing of the gate
across the high road. When the man
at the station came cut TO shut out
tho public because a train coming at
fun speed had been signalled, the
Queen made a sign to him which he
understood She ;hen gave whip and
rein to her four cream.colored ponies,
and dashed across the railway, not
much too soon to escape being
crushed by the train When on the
other side sEe was rale as death. but

become too accustomed to this oft-re-
newed feat of the Queen to feel uneasy
about it. But vteI4 new to the place

saw her and the team fly across the
railroad while an express seemed al.

a Tragedy of tho Northern winter.

Signs, unnoted by the denizens of
the city, serve to guide the trappers
over trackless wastes of illimitablc
snow. A whitlsh haze of frost may
hide the sun, or continuous snowfall
blur every landmark What heeds the
trapper? The slope of the rolling hills,
the lie of the frozen river beds, the
branches of underbrush protruding
through billowed drifts-are hands
that point the trappers compass.
One imminent danger is of accident
beyond aid. A young Indian hunter
of Moose Factory set out with his wife
and two children for the winter hunt
ing grounds in the forest south Of
James bay. When chopping, the hunt
er injured his leg. The wound proved
stubborn. Wrapping her husband in
robes on the long tobpggan sleigh, the
squaw placed the younger child beside
him, and with the other began tramp
ing through the forest, drawing the
sleigh behind. The drifts were not
deep enough for swift snowshoeing
over the underbrush, and their speed
was not half so fast as the hunger that
pursues northern hunters like the Fen.
ris wolf of Morse myth. The woman
sank exhausted on the snow and the
older boy, nerved with fear, pushed on
to Moose Factory for help. Guided by
the boy back through the forests, the
fort people found the hunter dead in
the sleigh, the mother crouched for
ward unconscious from cold, stripped
of her clothing, which was wrapped
round the child she had taken in her
arms to warm with her own body. The
child was alive and well. The fur
traders nursed the woman back to life.
though she looked more like with
cred creature of 80 than woman

a simple unconsciousness of heroism
that the ground had been too hard for
her to bury her husband and she was

the fort lest the wolves should modest

Again the beaver hat is part of the
feminine world. Its great popularity
years ago came from the fact that it
ever made a fitting frame for lovely
face. The same is as true today as in
our grandmama's time. The big, broad
happing brim is becoming to a mature
face rs well as childish one, so the
nats come for little women as well as
grown ones.
From pure white fur fine-napped
ones are made for dress hats, but as
they are very expensive they are not
likely to be commonly worn. For af-
ternoon teas and receptions beaver hats
of ell light shades are to be had. But
it is the black ones that appeal to
mothers with little daughters who are
still in the schoolroom. With single
bow this hat is considered sufficiently
trimmed.

A delightful game to play IN the
winter holidays, when the long hours
drag within doors, is snow fox and
geese.
A very slight snowfall will suffice for
the game, but Il may be played with
snow foot deep In a city back yard
or in the field of the country. The
game is prepared by the boys. who first
with high boots. trample in the snow
a huge circle, with six or eight dia-
metric paths. as the size of the lot
may allow. After these paths are clear
ly marked the fun begins. Any num-
Der may join in the sport.
II is like the old story of THE Spid-
er and the Fly" One person stands in
and down the diametric paths to seize
upon the others as they fly around the
circle. The players can venture into
the centre II they are so daring. Dut
1t caught they become the spider, and
dash for another victim. The one who
Is catching cannot walk around the cir
cumference, but is confined to the CEN
tral paths.
Snow baby is another funny game.
A smooth patch of snow is selected,
and as many holes or dens are pre-
pared as there are players. The dens
are made by scooping up a little snow
to form a holow place about as big
as two quart bowl. Each person
selects a den which he calls his, and
near which he stands. A circle is
marked lightly in the snow around
the group of dens, and all take their
stand within the circle, each near his
own den.
About six feet off, one person is
chosen, who tosses snowfall into any
one of the dens. The person into whose

who all start 10 run as soon as ball
lands in den. III the one aimed at is
hit he drops a stone Tito his den and
becomes the one to throw the ball into
the den of some one else.
This is repeated until one of the
players has six stones in his den. when
he is declared beaten. IL at any time the
one throwing the ball from his den to-
ward some ono fails to Int the one he
aims at, stone is put into his den,
and he becomes the one to throw the
ball. Unless there is a crust on the
ground, this game cannot be played in
snow more than a foot deep.-Boston

ANIMALS AND MAN.
Dociiity OF wild Creatures in Antarctic
Replous.

Dociiity of Wild Creatures in Antarctic
Regions.
In an interesting article In the Times
Prof Otto Nordenskjold dwells on the
tamoness of the wild creatures found
furthest south in the Antarctic ocean.
Tho ship had already voyaged be-
yond the usual limits OF the sealing
vessels, into the region where man has
scarcely ever shown his face, and there,
on the edge of the ice pack, were seals
so tame that they allowed themselves
to be stroked and scratched, and PEN
gums so bold that they tried to hustle
the sailors out of their breeding
grounds. as II they were only other
penguins trespassinp. This was only
what might have been expected by any
one who had read the stories of the
first voyagers to the limits of the In
habited world. The animals do not
fear man. because they have never
known him or suffered injury from
him. But the degrees of fear, mistrust,
neutrality or confidence shown by wild
animals which for years have been In
contact with civilized man are various.
and evidently depend upon something
more than accident. Judging from the
attitude toward man when they see
him for the first time, we must sup
pose that II they all started Fair"
they would all remain without fear.
But IL Is curious to note how easily,
after unknown generations of mlstrust,
they will dismiss this feeling If once
they are convinced that his intentions
are honorable.
Religion first exempted certain ami
mails from the common persecution, and
placed them either under protection or
gave them direct encouragement and
that for long intervals of time these
most favored races have not been mo-
Tested; but they have not all respond
ed equally to the encouragement
shown them. But In some Indian
states ruled by princes who maintain
the strict law against taking animal
life which their descent and religion
prescribe. the attitude of some of the
widest animals toward the inhabi-
tants of progressive city full of big
banking firms and blessed with rail-
way stations may be affected in very
striking manner. Some years ago the
black buck antelopes In Jeypore were
as tame as. and even tanner than, park
deer They would lie down and sleep
on the slopes of railway embankments
or beside the line, and not move off
when the trains passed. Sometimes
they might be seen lying almost under
the windows of large country palaces.
They were the deer and wild swine,
so completely lost sight of the fad that
they were not as good as their human
neighbors, that leave had to be OBJ
tanned to kill the wild boars to save
the crops. The religiously protected
monkeys in other parts of India are
equally Indifferent to man, though
from their consciousness of being a
public nuisance they are naturally not
on friendly terms with him.-London
