until about three weeks ago, when I was called away from home, and left an assistant in charge of the animals. Two nights later. my neighbor's wife called to say that our foxes were in her yard, Mrs. Baynes went over, and in the dim light saw the forms of both foxes on top Of the hen-house, the roof of which was low enough for them to jump upon. She called "The Sprite, and he followed her back home without giving the least trouble, but when she returned for the vixen the latter had run off into the woods. Later, the lit- tie creature tried to come back, but a pack of dogs drove her into the woods again. For three nights she attempted to return, and each night she answered ''The Sprite," who called for her in his loneliness. But the third night the hounds got her somehow, and 1t was all over before any one could interfere.
 "The Sprite." until now so light hearted and happy, was almost heart broken. Night after night, he howled necessarily, and he cared little for his food. So genuine was his grief, that we got another mate for him. She arrived yesterday, and last night, for the first time since his bereavement, he did not sadden us. with his pitiful howls. He does not show the same af- lection for the new love as he did for the old; but then, they have scarcely had time to become acquainted,

THOROUGH WORK,

The Germans know how to do things. The government, it is said, has reached the conclusion that since
 the German tariff has been so highly specialized with the object of protect ing every branch of home industry in the most effective manner and Of ir- flicting the greatest possible amount of hardship upon foreign competitors, the technical knowledge of the officials must be increased to correspond. It has determined, therefore, to have its customs officials instructed not only, as at present, in the superficial Knowledge of the products of commerce and in- dustry, but also in chemistry, physics, and mechanical technology. It is also of opinion that these officials should be acquainted with the elements of finance, of commercial policy, and of commercial geography. At the most important customs offices in every prov. ince a laboratory, together with a library of technical books, is to be es- tablished, where the minor officials will
 receive technical instructions from cus- toms officers of higher rank. The high.

AN rNTER ESTING IF.

We have found out that Alaska is worth great deal more than we thought it was when we bought it, and possibly we shall discover sometime that the Philippines are worth more to us than they now seem to be. There is a theory in England that they would have been worth much to that country. Tn a discussion of British possessions in the Pall Mall Gazette the reader is asked to examine the map of the east ern hemisphere, and it is argued that he will see that, if Great Britain now held "the rich group of the Philippines, she would be occupying a powerful po- sition on the eastern flank of China" In ,1762 England. according to this ar ticIe. by right of conquest could have held title to these islands, but instead they were lightly surrendered to Spain, although that country had justly for feited them by her hostility to England at a time when she thought she had the English people at disadvantage. The Gazette says: "We cannot reflect upon the loss of this splendid and legitimate prize without considerable measure of bitterness.''
 There are many people in this coun- try who will wish that England could have been spared this measure of bit terness." of course if England had owned the Philippines we should not have had the famous victory in Manila Bay. but perhaps we could have got along without that better than we have been and shall be able to get along with it's results.

ONE MAN REFORM ED.

Among the advice given on the "woman's page'' will frequently be found this: Don't marry man to reform him." This is good advice, and should be needed, but as it occasionally isn't perhaps there ought to be added this: "But if you do marry man to reform him reform him." What can be done in the way of reforming man has been illustrated by Mrs. John Wiltberg of Hayton, Wisconsin. Her husband was 8 drunkard, and now he isn't. She cured him. He hasn't been noticed around for about year, and the reason why is now plain. He has been kept a prisoner in his home by his wife who adopted this method az last effort to cure him of the craving for drink which had completely mas tered him. In one of his periodical fits of contrition he agreed to the plan which was proposed by his wife. She confined him in a remote room in their home, where no one could see him oi give him rum. Here, save for a daily visit from his wife, who served his meals in the room, he lived in solitude for a year. He was given newspapers and books and an exercise machine. Thurs day he emerged in the best of health fully cured of all desire for drink.
 It is to be hoped that MT. Wiltbere will stay reformed. He has good wift and if he can't appreciate her now enough to stay sober he deserves tht drunkard's fate which will be his.

TELLS HOW TO SHIELD BIRDS.

 Suggested to Protect Them.

Licensing the House Cat One Means
 Suggested to Protect Them.
 Louis Windmiller, in "The Outlook" for October 1O writes on How to Shield Our Birds" as follows:
 Some ten thousand species Of birds
 have been created for mans benefit.
 Carrion would propagate disease with
 out yultures and ravensi owls, buzzards
 and other hawks prey upon noisome do-
 dents and yenoinous reptiles; but of all tribes the inseetivores are the most nu- merous, their services the most yalua-
 ble. vermin would destroy the grain in the west, the cotton in the south and the fruit wherever 1t grows if birds
 were not near to defend them until they ripen, Examinations made by scien- lists of the digestive organs of many varieties of birds have demonstrated that they chiefly feed upon insects; they also show the kind of insects that each species prefers. Their subtle senses are directed by almost human intelligence, and they are apt to select of all the food within their reach what is best adapted for them and for their offspring, and what would injure by its presence Ii they did not destroy 1t.
 Aside from the debt of gratitude we
 owe for their usefulness, birds claim oul affection by the charm of their presence They are types of joyful bliss and sym I bols of absolute liberty. Where the col or of their plumage is added to the har' I rnony of their voices and the grace ol their motion, they viii turn a barrer I wilderness into a. perfect paradise 1 Many heart would sink were songster: l not nigh with sweet melody to raise it | The ancient Greeks called birds lord: of the air" syrians built altars fol | their worship; Romans had such an ex | alted opinion of their sagacity that the!

EOr so VERY BAD.

This has been a bad year in the stock market, but in some other important respects it hasn't been anywhere near such a bad year as this country has occasionally seen. It has been com pared with 1893, when there was great shrinkage in stock values, and there was also a great shrinkage in business. In the nine months preceding October the aggregate liabilities of firms, cOr- porations and individuals that were forced into insolvency this year were but sSS, 800, 900. while in the correspond ing portion of 1893 the total of such liabilities was no less than sS27. 200, 900. That is, the amount involved ten years ago was nearly four, times the figures of this year. Besides, while in 1893 our credit abroad was practically destroy ed, because of Europe's fear that we were about to go on a silver basis, and gold was being hoarded and withdrawn from the country. now we are on a req sonably permanent gold basis, we pos sess the largest gold supply Of any na- tion in the world, our credit abroad is perhaps better than it ever was before, and the big crops are pretty good.
 So while We may not be justified in being very gay we are not yet justified in being dismayed. Let us cheer up, even though there is a decision against "Amalgamated" every day.

An incident at the skidmore (Mis- souri) 'punkin show last week indi- cates that the oncorning generation of farmers wives will be fully equal to their mothers in one important par- ticular. w. J. Skidmore, Skidmore's leading citizen, offered a prize to the country maiden who should make the best pumpkin pie, he to be the judge. Six pies were exhibited. When MT. Skidmore took bite of the first, he mentally decided that it would take the prize. When he bit the second, he de- cided the prize would have to be halved. When he bit the third, he concluded the prize would have to be divided into three parts. The upshot was, that MT. Skidmore was not able to make a selec- ton. Instead, however, of dividing the prize into six parts, he ruled that each was so good as to deserve prize, and so he gave six prizes instead of one.

In constructing the power transmits sion line from the Cauvery Falls to the Kolar gold mines, in Mysore, India, which was recently completed, the American engineers employed to do the work had to deal with some uncommon problems. The line, ninety-two miles Ions. is carried on lofty poles through the jungle. Here the depredations of white ants and wild elephants had to be prevented. The ants attacked the poles and the elephants pulled at the wires Iron sockets seven feet high were found to be effective against the ants, and after careful measurements of the highest reach of the elephants trunks the wires were strung at safe elevation.
