ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS.
Many Afraid Of Water, Others Crazed
With Fear by Fire.

Most animals are afraid of water and
will fly from it in terror" says a member
of the fire department. ITO others there
is fascination about a flame and they
will walk into it even though tortured by
the heat. Some of the men were talking
the other day about the conduct Of animals
during fire. A horse in burning stable,
they agreed, was wild with fear, but
dog was as cool in fire at any other
time. dog keeps his nose down to the
floor where the air is purest. and sets him.
self calmly to finding his way out. Cats
in fires howl piteously. They hide their
faces from the light and crouch in corners
When their rescuer lifts them they are as
a rule quite docie and subdued, never bit
ing or scratching. Birds seem to be hyp-
Noticed by fire and keep perfectly still;
even the loquacious parrot in a fire has
nothing to say. Cows, like dogs, do not
show alarm. They are easy to lead forth
and often find their way out themselves.
Rodents seem never to have any difficulty
in escaping from fires"

big husky animal trainer like his father.
But all they saw was a yellow head full of
curls peering shyly from behind tree and
vanishing as soon as the strangers ap-
preached.
Dragged forth finally by the arm, with
his face turned bashfully away, behold
Evan, aged four years and eleven months,
master of the elephants.
Master Evans unwilling way lay through
an unrestful avenue of wild animal cages,
from which the big cats spat and roared
their disapproval of intrusion. "A black
panther and young lion particularly were
so vehement in their frank expressions of
dislike that the strangers took painful care
to remain well in the center of the thor
oughfare. But Evan tried to hide his
bushes behind the black panther whence
he was extricated on the verge of tears.
In the doorway of the elephant house the
parental grasp relaxed and with a dive
Evan got between the mighty wrinkled
pillars that supported Babe.
That playful young creature had her vast
ears thrust forward like immense banners.
Her piggy eyes were all a-twinkle. She
gurgled deep down in her caverns like a
mountain full of sizzling hot water
A Unique Swing.
Gently ever SO gently, her big trunk with
it's pink oriice reached out and seized the
little chap. Slowly she rocked him to and
fro while he sat, holding to the trunk as
calmly as other children would hold to the
ropes of a swing. But Basil wanted bit
of It, too. He reached and pranced and
trumpeted until Babe swung Evan over to
him. A toss and catch, and Basil had
the boy Back and forth they swung him
like a ball, but with a care and gentleness
that seemed impossible in creatures so
huge.
A muttered word from Healey, and Basil
lifted the little golden-haired trainer up,
up, until she held him ten feet above the
ground. Then the trunk curved backwards
and set him softly as if he were bisque
on her big back. He sat there a few mo-

"Ginseng is being cleared out of central
Wisconsin rapidly" said G. S. Banks Of

purposes What disease 1t is supposed to

it is dried is shaped cohething like a
small carrot. 1t is not the same as the
Chinese ginseng / have been told, but 1t
makes a satisfactory substitute now that
the real article has all gone. At one time
the woods around Newcastle were full of

AS the producers gradually came to real
ize that the men to whom they were sell

they raised their prices about a thousand
per cent and then kept it going up. The
demand has never lessened any. but 1t Is
probable that there will be no gingseng

years. Some people are raising 1t in Gull
tivated fields and make good profit, al
though the plant requires a great deal Of
