A COLONY OF SQUIRRELS.
Large Number Are Pets of the Resi-
dents of a Pennsylvania VIII
Iage, and Protected.

Brandywine Manor, Pa, has large
colony of gray squirrels, but no shoot
ing is permitted near the village, the
squirrels being the pets of all the resi-
dents of the place, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
A number of years ago the late Will
liam Rettew, who resided in the vii
Iage, discovered a number of squirrels
in the garnet of his house and cared for
them. Then he became imbued with
the idea of protecting all the squirrels
in the vicinity. In the garnet he ar
ranged neat nests for them, and fed all
that came. The number multiplied
rapidly and they gradually established
homes in the trees in the woodland
near his home.
The worst enemy of the gray squirrel
is the red squirrel and Mr.. Rettew be-
gan war of determination against
the latter, which he kept up until his
death. Then his son continued the
work, and to-day there are hundreds of
gray squirrels in the woods for a mile
around the village, but few red ones.
Every resident considers it his duty to
kill red squirrel wherever found.
During the summer the animals NAV
be seen playing about the trees in
every direction, and they are often
found in the houses of the residents.

APPLES AS LIFE-SAVERS.
Sixteen Persons Adrift on n Raft Sus-
tanned for Four Days by Two
Carefully Divided.

That ancient joke of the small boy
who replied to another who asked for
the core of the apple he was eating,
There amt goin' to be no CORE" late
ly had practical, almost a tragic,
illustration in the case of a survivor
of the British steamer Elingamite,
wrecked off the coast of New Zealand,
says the Washington Star.
When the raft carrying them pushed
off from the vessel on Sunday it car
ried 16 persons, and the food supply
consisted of two apples. One of these
was eaten on Tuesday and the second
on Wednesday, each being divided
into Is portions. The famished peo-
pie were rescued on Thursday. They
attribute their salvation to those two
apples. Think-of that, you buyer of
fruit from the corner stand, to whom
a couple of apples are only a bit of
dessert after lunch. Think of it,
youngsters, who MUNICH your apples in
a luxury of undisputed ownership and
glow with a pride of generosity when
you permit a playmate to take a bite.
Think of it, too, you cooks, who pare
apples with an artistic Indifference
to the thickness of the Feelings and
the cutting out of the core and "bad
spots" The apple should take on a
new and economic aspect in the eyes
of all who read of that trying expert
ence in the south seas.

AMMONIA FOR BURGLARS.
Brooklyn Druggists Eroont
Suggests Weapon Which Be-
comes Popular.

A druggist in Brooklyn was held up
in his store and happened to have a
glass of ammonia on the counter.
which he dashed into the visitors face.
and the fellow ran, smashing through
a glass door, doing himself great mis-
chief. He had a companion so amazed
he hesitated when second glass of
the elixir hit him squarely in the nose
with another dose of the aromatic
fluid and paralyzed him with pain and
terror on the spot, so that he was
taken helpless prisoner. The drug
gist advertised bottles of LIQUID fire
prepared for burglars. and the med
icine became fashionable, saws re-
cent report. The holdfast robbers
were for awhile discoura ged. The
burglar bomb ought to be prepared
for action by an enterprising firm, the
bottles of assorted sizes and used ac-
cording to directions, which might be
blown into the glass. The banks
should be equipped with the bomb
They are at short range much more
certain to go to the right spot than

INDIANS WERE HOMESICK.
Two Navajo Bucks Who Didn't Care
to Linger in the Metropolitan
M det.

w. r. Johnson, an independent mis-
slonary among the Navajo Indians of
northern Arizona, was lately spending
few days in Kansas City looking after
business connected with his work He
brought with him two Navajo bucks
with the usual unpronounceable
names. She-She-Nief and Pesh-la-Ki-
Et-Sette are the suspicious titles of
these braves, the former meaning
long man of his tribe" and the latter
slgnlfying 'the silversmith.'
The two Indians accompanying Mr..
johnson, says local report, intended
to remain here for some DAYS taking
in the sights, but were finally over
come by inconsistencies and requested
the missionary to send them back to
their squaws and sheep.
MI. Johnson says that there are
about 10000 Navajo Indians in north
ern Arizona. Over a third of them live
on their own or rented land and draw
no money from the government. These
INDIANS are poor, but independent,
and do not depend upon Uncle Sans
bounties for a living, but earn their
daily bread mostly by raising sheep
and making Navajo blankets. which
have become famous throughout the
clothing markets of the United States.
Although civilized in many of their
customs, the Navaios live in little
novels consisting of a framework of
poles covered by dirt.

A Tree Desire We .

Many of the shade trees in Water
town are afflicted with a pest called the
cotton scale. A close inspection of
any maple tree will show small patches
of what is apparently cotton on the
under side of the smaller limbs This
white substance is the covering which
the insect provides for its eggs. 1t is
of viscid nature and protects the
pests from the ravages of other insects.
When the young are Matched they at
tack the wood and draw all the sap out
of it for their subsistence. Then the
leaves wither and fall and the tree is
left denuded of his foliage and in an
apparently dying condition. In some
cases young trees were saved by spray
ing them with an emulsion of kerosene
mixed with soap and water, bat it is
impossible to treat large shade trees in
that way.-Times.
