SOUND SENSE OF THE MULE.
He Has Curious Way of Calling Out tn
Time of Day.

He Has Curious Way of Calling Out the
Time of Day.
The plantation mule has a curious and
interesting way Of calling out the time
OF day. said a man from Mississippi
and with men who have spent any con-
siderable length of time on a big planta-
ton in any section of this country south
of Mason and Dixons line 1 suppose the
observation is very common Mules are
wonderfully sagacious and Quick-witted
in some respects. They are particularly
apt in learning things which have to do
with bodily comfort such things, for in
stance, as relates to feed time watering
time and so forth.
But the particular thing 1 had in mind
was the habit of mules along about turn
ing in time at the noon hour and in the
evening. They have way of telling the
time, and where more than one mule is
to be found in the field they have a way
OF calling out to each other They bray
at each other. One curious, fact in con-
never behind time with their braying
At the noon hour they never wait until
sound. They call out to each other and
in a short while you Will be certain to
hear the horn blow. AS rule, they are
only few minutes ahead of time with
their braying, which shows how accurately
they reason with respect to the time Of
day.
HIS IidUil IuIHlSIleS a part OF the
music of big plantation, and it may be
said that the mule is the leader of the
farm orchestra, for the negroes invariably
follow the first call of the mule with a
halloo peculiar to the negro Farmland
and the sound is taken up again and again
until every mule and every negro on the
place has Joined in the strange orchestra
ton. You can imagine what this means
on plantation containing thousands of
acres and where many mules and many
negroes are scattered over a vast culti-
waited plateau. 1t is an inspiring sort Of
thing to the man not familiar with plan
tation life, but man long accustomed to
~ notices them.
The point had in mind, however, was
the ShrewdneSS and good sound sense of
the mule with respect to matters inimedl-
ately concerning his welfare and comfort.

to be judged by the dullneSs of his ap-

Seven Yale seniors, short in stature,
but not in originality, have organized
the Yale Pee Wee club. No man more
than feet inches tall is eligible. Its
aim is to disseminate among the pub

tages of lack Of size and to call atten-
ton to the eminence in history of

attention anywhere. and never more

Germany and America struggling for

the South African bosrd OF trade to in

$1500Q9,000. Everything else is il pro-
portion fFhe Americans and the Ger
mans are making great Roadway in
this trade rivalry, especially ii the way
Of bridges, steel rails, structural steel
and like equipment Americans have
large trade. They furnish the best
stuff, Go it quickly and give a better
price than the English can give
"Of course England has the call, and
many prefer to wait until they can get
stuff from England The English ma
chinery is, as rule, heavier, more
compactly built and more rugged than
the American machinery, and for this
reason is preferred by some, but the
americans are getting enormous con-
tracts, and once in the field they stick.
The Germans are a good third and
have shown remarkable progressive
ness and keen trade ability"

covered In the Arctics.
One of the richest finds Of relics of
prehistoric man perhaps ever made is
that unearthed by Captain Francis
futile of the revenue cutter Bear dur
ing her recent trip in the arctic seas,
says a dispatch from Tacoma, Wash,
to the New York World. A house
built by human beings probably thou
sands of years ago was found, and
Captain Tozier, senior officer of the
feet, now has some of the utensils
used by peo-le who made it a habita-
ton.
Two years ago a missionary at Point
Barrow told Captain futile of a re-
nlarkable discovery the natives of the
vicinity had made Of the framework
OF a house which was partially i'm
bedded in a cliff, fronting on the ocean,
fifteen miles southeast of Point Bar
row. At the point where the house was
discovered protruding the cliff rose
sheer seventy feet from the ocean.
Forty feet above tidewater and thirty
feet from the top Of the cliff one end
of the house was exposed.
The house was built somewhat after
the plan of the structures of the print
tive inhabitants of America. The ribs
Of an enormous whale or of some ami
nal now extinct were used for a frame
work, and over these skins had eyi.
IDENTIFY been stretched.
At The instigation OF Captain Tuttle
the natives made an excavation in the
cliff and brought away the utensils
that could be discovered. The immense
bones that made up the framework OF
the house were left on the shores Of
the Arctic. The utensils found at the
spot consist of bailer for a boat,
carved ivory rowlock, four stone
knives, a bone knife and a sl1inniIg
knife. The bone knife resembles a
machete, with an etching of a prehis-
toric animal on the blade.

Alaska Furs I'M .Demand.

If tie Alaska Indians and trappers

pelts during the coming winter, it will
not be the fault of the fur dealers from

with the object of obtaining every
hide possible, says the Tacoma Ledger.
Both prices and the demand are now
at maximum. and the Indians have
been told their reward will be large
next spring if taey are able to secure
game in abundance The catch of
Alaska furs during the past year has
been about equal to that of the previ-
GUS season. The demand is sitter, but
with the increased population in Alas
ka there is a constant tendency for fur
bearing animals to move farther in
