In Germany that a racing track will

The autodrome is to be sole-shaped,

two "bays" opposite the long side. 1t

a length of 2C00 yards and breadth of

How Ermine Are Captured.

Perfect fur, Of the delicate ermine
at least, would be marred by the or
dinary snare, so the trapper devlses as
cunning q death for the ermlne as the
ermine devises when 1t darts up
through the snow with its spear teeth
clutched in the throat of poor rab-
bit. Smearing his huting knife with
grease, he lays 1t across the track.
The little ermine comes trottlng in dots
and dashes and gallops and dives to
the knife. That greasy smell Of meat
1t knows, but that frost-sllyered bit
of steel is something new. The knife Is
frosted like Ice. Ice, the ermine has
licked, so he licks the knife. But alas
for the resemblance between ice and
steel! Ice turns to water under the
warm tongue; steel turns to fire that
blisters and holds the foolish little
stoat by his lnquisltive tongue. hope
less prisoner until the trapper comes.
And, lest marauding wolverine or lynx
should come first and gobble up price,
less ermine, the trapper comes soon.
And that is the end for the ermine.--

Negotiations Renewed.

It is understood that negotiations
are now pending between the Bureau
Of Ethnology and certain residents OF
tho Republic of Chill by means Of
which the bureau hopes to obtain for
the National Museum the extraordin-
ary mummy of an Indian oman.
which was found in an old copper
mine on an island off the Chilean
coast several years ago and was ex-
hibited at the Buffalo Exposition. Dur
ing that exposition the bureau tried
several times to get possession OF this
mummy, but without success, the
owners asking too high a price. Re-
Gently, however. negotiations were
renewed, with the result that the bu-
reau obtained the tools, implements
and vessels found with the mummy at
very fair price, and they are now
seeking to obtain the remains also.
with reasonable hopes OF success.

Ger of the Denver & Rio Grande road
recently in speaking of the great
landslides in the canyon above Glen
wood Springs, Col. eve find from
actual experience in maintaining
tunnels, bridges and tracks in the
mountains that the mountains arc
moving. It costs railway passing
through the mountains a great deal
of money in the course of ten years
to keep the tracks in line, and main
tenance of tunnels is even more ex-
pensive. Drive stake on the side of
q mountain, take the location with

ment has often been tried, and in all

"SEvEN DEMONS"

sums up seven points, which we call
demons, which grow out Of the drink
traffic.
IT these seven could be cast out OF
it. and seven more be allowed to raise
their hldeous heads to torment the
souls of men, then, there might be
some reason, or plausible excuse, why
go many so-called Christians among
US, to-day, manifest such utter indif-
terence towards the wickedness OF 'the
traffic"
The writer of the "seven points" is
one who has eyes to see the cloven.feet
If "the rulers Of the darkness OF this
world" and Gears to hear" the ominous
sounds of deep despair, that rise up out
of the bottomIess pit of perdition, and
which are the legitimate result of the
manufacture, sale, and use of every
kind of strong drink, whether it be
whiskey, brandy, wine, beer, or cider,
(for all of these contain alcohol), and
are ru,nous to both the soul and body
of all who use them as beverages-fo1
time and for all eternity.
| The "seven demons" aforesaid, are
summed up, as the result OF the "drink
traffic." by the writer, beforemention

l. The traffic comes to ruin 1T

2. It comes to mislead human souls

4. It comes to change the WIFE
love into despair, and her pride int

p 5. 1t comes to still the laughter O.
n the lips of children, and to bow the.
n heads in premature grief.
: 6. It comes to stifle all the musl
