The Story Of a Squirrel.

Have you ever been fortunate
enough to watch the antics of a SPUR
rel in a cage?
OF course, every boy knows the
squirrel of the woods, and how indus
triously he provides against the CON-
ing of rainy day-which in his case
means the times of year when the
gathering Of nuts is impossible. He
has been known to store quantities of
nuts away in three trunks, and some.
times naughty boys have been known
to steal from the busy squirrel-actu-
ally steal his supply of nuts because
it is too much trouble to emulate the
squirrels industry! But, Of course,
the boy would not do such a cruel and
really cowaTdly thing if he only
stopped to think he was robbing a
helpless little animal. so tiny and gen.
tie that tame ones have been carried
around in mems pockets in order that
they may be kept warm. One SPUR
rel we have heard of lived all day long
in the pocket of an Italian organ
grinder, and, once, when a blizzard
came, and the poor little organ boy
fell in the snow, some kind men came
along and picked him up and carried
him into a comfortable house before a
warm fire. The rubbed his feet and
hands and put him in a soft bed, and
he opened his eyes and thanked them.
But the little squirrel-when he looked
for twas found frozen quite stiff in
his pocket.
But l started to tell you the story of
a tame squirrel in cage. A lady has
one-a lady who does not live very
far from New York, and she says that
the dear little creature causes her a
great deal of amusement by his
pranks. She has laughed uproarious.

Feeding Birds.

The secret Of feeding birds in cap
tivity is to give them as great a va
riety of wholesome food as you can.
For seed, they should have a mixture
Of canary rape, flax, or linseed small
greats and little hemp and millet. In
cold weather more hemp and some
nav seed, and little lettuce seed oc-
casionally, particularly if there is
any diarrhoea about. For green stuff,
lettuce, watercress, groundsel, chick
weed and nearly any sort of fruit, but
it should not be given to them wet.
Once or twice week, for a treat, a
mixture Of hard-boiled egg, chopped
small, and powdered biscuit will be
greatly appreciated. In feeding them
don't make things too easy. Remem-
Der that birds dearly love occupation

Len Rescued the Mouse.

A naturalist friend of mine says: q
recently saw a curious thing in my
poultry yard The cat was playing
with a live mouse which she had
caught, when a broddy hen, taken off
her nest, Vas put into the yard. She
stretched herself and had a good
shake, when she caught sight of the
cat With outspread wings the hen
dashed at poor puss, knocked her
over, tweaked the mouse from her
mouth, and then attacked her with the
utmost fury. The cat was so fright
ened and demoralized by this sudden
and Unexpected attack that she bolted,
and meanwhile the mouse had made
its escape Whether it was maternal
instinct which prompted the hen to
rescue Brer Mouse or whether it was
antipathy to the cat is doubtful, but
favor the first suggestion. "-Illustrat-

RACE SUICIDE IN FRANCE.
M. Gruen Says His Country Is Alarmed
at Present Conditions.

at Present Conditions.
Frederic G. Gruen, a member of the
French Chamber of Deputies and presi-
dent of the Bank of Versailles, who ar
rived here on Sunday from France, by
way Of England, on the Cedric, of the
White Star Line, is on his way to Que
bee, Canada, to establish there a
branch bank He will first pay a flying
visit to the French ambassador at
Washington.
Asked if President Roosevelts recent
utterances anent race suicide" had
awakened any interest in France M.
Gruen replied that they had furnished
basis for much healthy discussion
among French people of all classes.
THE people of France" he contin-
ued, "have long been Indifferent to the
threatened depopulation of their cOun-
try, but the remarks of your president
on marriage have stirred them up 10
take action to prevent, if possible, the
continuance of race suicide among
them. Only a month ago NJ. Plot, the
senator from the department of the
Cote dor, aroused public attention to
what we call the national danger
the depOpulation of Franee-and'
through his efforts an extra parliament
tary committee is now studying the
subject in all its phases. M. Plot has
further proposed a scheme to the gov
eminent which consists in the institu
ton Of an order of merit, with cross
and ribbon, for the mothers of large
families in France, as a recognition OF
the country's Indebtedness to them and
as an encouragement to young married
couples"
Replying to the question whether he
could give an explanation for the grad
ually decreasing population of France,
W. Gruen said, without hesitation:
"Our women. The majority of them
nowadays in my country are too frivol-
Gus. They object to shouldering the
responsibility and care of large fam
lilies 1t is not by any means that they
dislike married life. Most of them,
should say, marry for love, but as a
rule they seem to have an aversion to
children, or a fear of allowing them
selves to become encountered with a
family. The existing conditions Of So
cial life in France today-its ever in
creasing gayety and passion for amuse-
ment-are to a great degree RESPONSE
bic for the increasing dislike French
women entertain for the home and the
| higher duties it entails.
IF the American woman were to be
transplanted to France, feel we would
have nothing to fear from what you
call race suicide 1t may, by the way,
surprise you to know that my wife is
an American by birth and lineage. She
is the only daughter of the late John
Hood Crawford, a cotton planter in
New Orleans. My wife and l do not
believe in race suicide We have a
family of eight On the avenue in Yer
sailles whtre we live we enjoy the dis
tinction Of having the largest family
in the neighborhood. Not one Of our
married neighbOrs has more than three
children, and the majority have none al

it did last week. The sternpost was cast
in two pieces and the sections joined to-
gether by the burning process, and SO

would be difficult to determine where the
