The nissuisaa Of Nature.


By a decree of Nature oIe-half Of
the world fourishes at the expense 'o1
the other half. The sparrow chases the
butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem Of life ii
twofold. 1t is not enough merely tt
eat; it is necessary to avoid being
eaten. Yet Nature detests killing fol
Killings sake. Massacre forms no par
Of her great plan. So we see that ev.
cry creature is provided with some
more or less effective quality OF de
Tense by means of which the attacks
of it's natural enemies are rendered les!
frequent or less deadly.
Thus the antelope, by means of it:
superior speed, at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo, rolled in it
wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
among a score Of hungry, gnawins
foes, while the white hare, scarcely dis
ti%nguishable from the snow on which
crouches, is often overlooked by hi
foe, the fox. But Of all creatures, non
have received more ample protection
than the insects. Some Of them pos
sess stings, others bite and a few put
out clouds of poisonous vapor to stu
pefy or blind their pursuers. Again
there are insects clothed in impenetra
BILE 6rmor, insects covered with shar.
spines and prickles, and others who's
means of defense consist in nothin;
but a likeness to the objects whic
surround them.-The Royal Magazine

Life of Fur TrapPers.

"You admire furs," commented an
old trapper, as he sat ~contentedly
smoking his pipe; you should GO
where we get them. All, that Is the
life-pure air, plain, wholesome 1000.
and then, after the seasons work, thai
brigade of fur loaded canoes going
off down the lakes. Every n Is
loaded, you know. almost to the gun
vale, and they string out one behind
the other, a. long line of them. They
usually start out early in the morning
and paddle, paddle, hour after hour,
down this stream, through that lake,
and so into civilization.
"But they don't forget to eat-oh, ne
About noon they go ashore. They
'snub' the canoes to overhanging trees
and hunt around for a good fiat rock
on which to start their fire. But those
fellows don't take an hour for lunch.
con, Time is too valuable to them.
They take a drink Of tea, a bite Of pork
that is about all. Then they are of
again. The men spell each other at the
paddles, and occasionally the canoes
~N
are punched by steersmen for a good
smoke.
"When night comes the brigade goes
ashore and pitch their camp. Tents
are put up, camp fires lighted and the
supper prepared, great clouds of black
flies and mosquitoes lowering around.
Some of the men busy themselves pre-
pairing the great brown fapjacks fol
the next day, while others dry thei1
moccasins or get their blankets ready
to bunk in. Perhaps a has to bs
patched the next morning before
start can be made.

wilds Of Canada where they get thu
furs. You should try it."-New Yorl

THE HIGHER PIONEERING

The face Of the earth "a g wide stretch OF

And the best of the world is forever IN

And new worlds galore; in their solitude

There are streamlets OF silver n grottoes
If you'll leave the high road houses, peo-
And the main-traveled turnpikes and take
to the woods.
Oh, the highways were built for The idle and
blind
But I have an unexplored planet to find.
I must leave the worn road, I have no time
to spare;
I have pioneer business to do everywhere.
There are oaks in yon forests no Woodman

And their branches are loaded with apples
of thought;
There are thick tangled arches that span
Tlonely streams, .
Wide creepers are bending with clusters Of

Let dpe talk with the earth and commune

Let me list to the song that the pine giants

1t is now some 1886 years since pota-
toes were known in Europe; they were
imported into Ireland in the reign. of
Queen Elizabeth. The importer was
John Hawkins, who brought them
from Santa Fe, in Spanish America.
They were planted for the first time
in Ireland, it is said, by no less a man
than Sir Walter Raleigh, who had an
estate there; but the natural history
of the potato was so little understood
at that time, that Sir Walter resolved
to renounee the expectation he had
formed Of bringing this exotic to per-
fection in ireland. When in due time,
after he had planted the first potatoes,
the stocks grew up, and he perceived
upon the stem a green apple, he
thought that was the fruit, which he
had no idea was concealed under the
earth. He caused some Of the apples
to be boiled, but finding them nauseous
to the taste. he concluded that he had
lost his labor, and for some time
thought no more Of potatoes. How
ever, having some time after given d.
rections that the ground should be dug
up or plowed, to his very great sur
prise ne found q plentiful crop Of fruit.
which proved most grateful to the
taste. They 500 got Into general use

To the eighteenth century belongs
the fashion of "chiens-manchons" or
muff-dogs, the most wonderful Of which
seems to have been Ration, the pet OF
Ninon TEnclos, and, according to Mer-
cier of the institute, the mascot of that
remarkable lady's everlasting beauty.
1t was in this guise: Ninon v par
took of a meal, but had Ration put by
her side in a little basket on the table,
and from this coigne of vantage the
famous bow-wow would keep watch
over his mistress fare. Soup, fish, vege-
tables, joints and grills used to pass
with appreciation, and fruit was looked
upon with benevolence. But there were
angry protests at ragouts and growls
at spiced entrements; barking at cof-
fee, and if Ninon by any chance made
for liquors, the fury of Ration knew no
bounds.
