The Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near a
river one winter day saw a fox run
out ON the ice and make at full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing water Of the river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon a dog
came crashing out Of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the foX's trail. Now.
dogs when on a chase Of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the ice, head down, and when
he reached the hole he could not stop,
but plunged into the water and disap-
peared forever. Then the fox trotted
away with every sign of satisfaction.

Frogs and Wires.

1t is said that one of the great enc

central Australia is the common green
frog. In order to save the insulators
from being broken by the lightning they
are provided with wire choppers"
leading round them at little distance
to conduct on to the pole in case Of
need. Tie frogs climb the poles and
find the insulators cool and pleasant to
their bodies, and fancy that the drop
per" is put there to furnish them with
a back seat. After nap they yawn
and stretch OFT y leg until it touches

The Conductor. Baton.

According to the Investigations Of a
Frenchman the credit of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopted
the baton conductors were in the habit
of pounding on the floor with their
feet or clapping their hands to mark
the time. Lully found it wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
so used stick to strike the floor and
beat time. He used pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that it struck his
foot and made deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
and more to improve the baton, and it
was ultimately brought to its present
form.

Five Events Scheduled for Next
Sunday.

There are FIVE events for Sunday at
the Belleville track. There will be
FIVE mile open and a one mile handicap
for professional riders, and a twe-third
mile, a twe-nfile aud one-mile for
novices. There is great deal of inter-
est now taken in the coming race on
account of the way Kramer beat Law
son last Sunday.
Kramers friends say he viii repeat
the trick next Sunday, while Lawson's
friends say Kramer will not get any
of the money next Sunday. Last Sun
days race between these two was one of
the incest races seen in this section in
a long time and there is no doubt it was
one of the finest races even seen on a
dirt track.
There has been a large list of entries
received for next Sundays meet from
amateurs and among them there are
some of the best in the country. These
entries include Kramer, Lawson, Fem.
Root and MacFarland.
