A COLONY OF SQUIRRELS.
Large Number Are Pets o6 the Resi- dents of a Pennsylvania vi1-
 Iage, and Prok ected.

Brandywine Manor, Pa., has a large colony of gray squirrels. ,ut no shoot ing is permitted near the village, the squirrels being the pets of all the resi- dents of the place, says the Philadel- phia Press.
 A number of years ago the late Will liam Rettew, who resided in the vil- lage, discovered a number of squirrels in the garret of his house and cared for them. Then he became imbued with the idea of protecting all the squirrels in the vicinity. Tn the garret he ar ranged neat nests for them, and fed all that came. The number multiplied rapidly and they gradually established homes in the trees in the woodland near his home.
 The worst enemy of the gray squirrel is the red squirrel, and Mir Rettew be- gan war of extermination against the latter, which he kept up un til his death. Then his son continued the work, and to-day there are hundreds of gray squirrels in the woods for mile around the village, but few red ones. Every resident considers it his duty to kill red squirrel wherever found.
 During the summer the animals may be seen playing about the trees in every direction, and they are often found in the houses of the residents.

TRICKS ON CANDY-EATERS.
Clever Limitations of Teeth, Collar and Shoe Buttons Put Up for
 the J0kers.

The trick cigar has its counterpart Tn confectionery" said a candy man. ufacturer the other day, according to the New York Times. .sThe callow youth who delights in giving explosive cigars to his men friends demands something similar for the candy con suming sex, and we have to meet the demand.
 The possibilities of a cream choco- late or piece of nougat are limited, but we have few contrivances. We make of very hard candy an imita- ton of tooth with gold crown, and hide it in a cream chocolate. You can imagine the rest-a party of wom- en munching candy, one of them dis covering something hard, and, finding gold-crowned tooth loose in her mouth!
 Similarly we initiate a bone collar button in a hard white candy, hide a candy shoe button in a piece of nougat, put bit of cork in a. caramel, or fill a candied cherry with red pepper. So long as the sanitary experts don't weed out these alleged jokers tho candy man has to put up these trick candies for them"

ONLY SEVENTY BELOW ZERO.
This Is the Limit at Fordy-MiIe, Alaska, and Everybody Says the
 Place Is the Limit.

For those seeking climate where there is not so much reason for re- pining as in the one we suffer under, Forty-Mile, Alaska, might be recon mended, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. We see statement made by an enthusiast just returned from there that, no matter what the stories and false reports sent out may have been, the mercury never, under any circumstances, falls lower than 70 de- grees below zero. In common with all new countries, this district of Alaska has to undergo a campaign of mis- representation before its true charac- ter is known, but now that the facts are made public, there is no occasion for believing these stories.

salmy day after day succeeds each other, with the thermometer mark ing as high as 12 to A degrees below zero. At Medicine Hat 1t is so warm that sleeping bags are not used at all, and there is never night from Au- gust to June that you can't sleep com fortably under four bed quilts, five blankets and q wool mattress; and no matter what the temperature, there is always a cooling breeze that makes life in steam-heated room agreeable and pleasant. At Forty-Mile, of course, they have their winters, as might be expected, but with a record of three years in which the mercury has never gone beneath 70 below zero, it is pretty safe to say that that is the limit. In fact, everybody that goes there says that place is the limit.

WANT WOMEN PARTNERS.
I'm Busineaa Compncts Women No Longer Prefer Mem aS at One
 Time They Dtd.

ssWhen a woman in business wants to extend her trade and increase her cap- ital by taking in partner, she seeks for another woman said an agent who makes good income by managing transactions of this kind in connec- tion with real estate business, re- ports the New York Times. "In for mer days, when woman's husband died and left her with profitable business on her hands, she either sold it or took in man as a partner. As a general thing it ended in the mans getting control of the store and the woman selling out at very much re- duced figure. But as rule women LI ow much more about business than they did few years ago, and are keep ing alive to opportunities for turning over their money at quick profits, Men in our line of business have on their books number of women who have anywhere from $5,ooo to $15,ooo to in- vest in some congenial occupation, where they can take personal part in the management. As rule, part- nerships of this sort are good money- makers. Whenever man and wom- an go into a business partnership. there is trouble. The woman is ever suspicious that the man is trying to take unfair advantage of her, and the man is seldom slow in expressing his conviction that the woman is slow, and hasn't grain of common sense. In the stenographer's business women partnerships are very frequent. Some of them have the most profitable es- establishments in town"

SPLITTING UP A NICKEL.
Hpw 1t Is Done in a Southern City Where There Are But Few
 Copper Cemta.

You would be surprised to know the vast number of children among the poorer classes in New Orleans who do not clearly understand the value and function of the nickel" said store keeper downtown, reports the New Or leans Tmes-Democrat, land it all re- suits from the popularity of the quartie system which has always been so much a part of life in this city. They are the small buyers, who run all kinds of errands for the little family to which they belong. Purchases, amounting in individual eases to less than five cents, daily amount in the ag- gregate to thousands of dollars. It is no small part of the retail traffic of the city. The children split a nickel up into very small pieces, buying 8 penny's worth of this and penny's worth of that, until they leave the store or the market with an armful of little packages which will represent the days supplies.
 Sometimes they will spend only a part of the nickel, and will get a ticket, or tickets, or maybe pennies, in change. Frequently the purchase will amount to two cents and half, and then they get pasteboard check for the other two cents and half, which is legal tender at the place issuing it for its face value. Checks or tickets of this kind are extensively used in this city, and they have added greatly to the circulation of sort of crude sub sidiary money. One of those cheeks is as good as gold at the grocery or mar ket stall where it is issued. it is predicated on and gets it's value from redemption fund, just like Uncle Sam's money, except that instead of being redeemable in gold on demand it is exchangeable at the grocery at it's face value for any of the things in stock, or good at the vegetable stall at the market place for two cents and a half worth of anything on hand when it is presented. It is always good for what it calls for on it's faces

Huudre,d Acres of soufrreIx.

H. r. Kellor is the owner of hun dred-acre squirrel park on one of his farms two miles west of Ripley, Tenn. reports the Nashville Banner. The trees in the park consist mainly of oak, hickory, beech and a few pecan and chestnut. There are several varieties of squirrels gray, black, fox and few white. At almost any hour of the day scores of the little nimble- footed creatures can be seen sporting around the cribs and barnyards on the premises, and, seem to be quite gentle. Occasionally a few of them stray of in adjoining woods, but return.

NAUGATUCk NUGGETS
Trolley Wire Gut Excitement on the
 Naugatuck Road.

Someone cut the main trolley wire near Weber's in Union City yesterday morning about o'clock. The wire, which of course was live one, made regular fireworks display as it danced about over the ground. Several teams became tangled up in it and one team in particular occupied by four we'll known Naugatuck young men got mix ed up in the live wire in bad shape. Their horse ran away and one of the young men nearly had the crown of his hat burned off by the wire, Linemen from Waterbury soon had the wire re- paired, however, and the trolleys ran as usual Sunday. There is no clue as to who it was that cut the wire, but many opinions are being expressed some of which are not at all in favor of the company. Some say that the job was done by Union City or Naugatuck people, but others, especially the young men who live in Union City, claim that there is no one up there who would stay up all night just to cut trolley wire, and besides cutting a live wire is a dangerous experiment and that the job Sunday morning was done by person pretty we'll up in that sort of work. The Democrats local represen- tative made inquiries in Union City and the most universal opinion of the wire cutting done early Sunday morn ing is that it was done by friends of the strikers who came down from Wa terbury for that purpose or else it was done by some one in the employ of the trolley company to turn sympathy to- wards the company. The public fa- vors the latter opinion in Union City. but the trolley company will undoubt- edly make thorough investigation and punish the offender severely if caught.

 ncCord Yesterday.

Funeral services for Mrs. NJ. H. Me Cord were held at the Presbyterian church at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Many trends were present. Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey spoke briefly, paying q heartfelt tribute to the memory of the departed. He spoke of her as one whose quiet, unassUming. hopeful. helpful life had made this a better world for many people. It seemed natural for her to treat with kindness all created things.

McCOrd. and came with her husband to Arizona ten years ago this month. She united with the Methodist Epsicopai church of Merrill.

 The committees appointed some time ago by the land owners under the Salt River alley. Maricopa and Grand can als. respectively. for the purpose of de- vising ways and means for acquiring the canals, held a joint meeting yester- day afternoon in the association rooms. The only important result Of the meet ing was the expression of a sentiment requesting the land owners under the Arizona canal to organize in similar way and appoint d committee to CO., operate with them.
 There are now just fourteen days be- fore the closing of the association books There is yet a considerable un- signed acreage owned by persons who have already declared their intention of joining the associaiion. There should be no delay abntG the matter. II doesn't take a man all day. ui course. to sign up q few acres of land. but if everybody in inc valley waits tnl the last day. the day will not be hong enough. There is almost certain tC be big rusn at the last end and any one intending to sign can easily see it to their advantage tc sign at once be- fore the rush comes. It will then be attended to and out of the way and it will be ahead of the procession that will stand at the gate when the door is closing. And the time may come when priority of signature to stock of the association is a thing to be desired.
