Kuehnle at the College.

The closing address of the term was
given to the students on Wednesday
morning, by Hon. G. F. Kuehnle. Mr..
kuehnle, who never rises TO his feet
without having something to say, and
the happy faculty of saying it in a
pleasing manner was fully up to his
usual strength in this mornings ad-
dress.
He made three stroEg points which
he emphasized by many references TO
history and we'll known facts as he
urged the Importance of continuous
hard work for our own welfare. This
continuous work IS a pleasure to US
and not an evil. Nations are strong
when their citizens are industrious
and energetic. He showed by refer.
ence to the past that Nations have
fallen when the people at large have
given themselves over to idleness.
He also pointed out that the great
ness OF Il nation does not come from
the greatness of a few individuals, but
1t Is from the elevation, strength and
moral integrity OF the people at large
taat the Nation is strong Couse-
quently as we love our Nation each
and every one of us should make him
self as strong as possible.
the second point that he impressed
was That every one should be thinker.
He quoted the statement that the
things necessary for a success are
nature, study and practice. study
should be continuous. We must not
think that Il few weeks will give US all
the qualifications thai we should have.
A serious harm has been done TO ed
ucation by the advertising of some
short course schools, in which they
promise to instruct, qualify and place
IN business any person in thirty sec
onds. This is very great MISTAKE
We can only attain to the proper edu
cational qualifications by continuous
study for several years.
The last point was that we are intiu
enced by the company we keep. Our
characters are developed by those
with whom we are thrown in contact.
Conse queptly eve.y person should seek
the society of the best people, the
best scholars and the lest books
The whole address was instructive and
inspiring as was clearly manifested BY
the close attention and applause that
was given the speaker. 1t will be a
pleasure to listen to Mr.. Kuehnle,
again.

A Quaint Old Custom.

A London shop assistant says: at is
my duty every night to go out to the
rear Of the premises and fire off an old
aintlock pistol. This curious custom
dates back to the middle of the eight
zenith century. Our shop, now in
crowded north London district, was in
those old days practically in the coun-
try, and it was the custom of the then
proprietor, who was a timid, eccentric
man, to fire pistol off every night to
let the would be burglar know he was
armed and prepared for him. Think
ing his custom such good one, seeing
that his shop was never attempted, he
stated in his will that the custom
should be continued, which has always
been carried out, although, Of course,
we do it now merely to keep up
quaint old custom"

TRAPPING ERMlNE.
Different Methods For the Full

Different Methods For the Full
Grown and Baby Animals.
The colder the climate the finer the
fur, says the author Of The Greatest
Fur Company of the World'' in Frank
Leslie's Magazine. and the difficulties
of Obtaining the rare furs are many.
Ermine is at its best when the cold is
NEST intense, the tawny weasel coat
turning from fawn to yellow, from vel
low to cream and then to snow white.
according to the latitude and the sea-
son.
Fox. lynx, marten. otter and bear the
trapper can take with steel traps of
size varying with the game or even
with the clumsy but efficient deadfall,
but the ermine, the fur of which is as
easily damaged as the finest gauze,
must be handled differently.
The hunter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny tracks like
the dots and dashes of the Geographic
alphabet. Here are little prints slur-
ring into one another in a dash; there
dead stop, where the quick cared
stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert,
for snowbird or rabbit; here, again,
clear blank on thesnow, where the crafty
little forager has dived below the light
surface and wriggled forward like a
snake to dart up with plunge of his
fangs into the heart blood of the I'M
wary snow bunting.
From the length Of the leaps the trap
per judges the age of the ermine. The
full grown ermine has hair too coarse
to be damaged by snare. If, there
fore. the tracks indicate a full ...own
animal, the trapper suspends the moose
of looped Irvine OF Wire across the
runway from bent twig. which when
released, springs upward with Il jerk
that lifts the ermine OFF the ground
and stransias it.
If the tracks are like the prints of
baby's fingers. close and small, the
trapper hopes to capture pelt fit for a
throne cloak Perfect fur would be
married by the Irvine snare, SC the trap
per devises as cunning Il death for the
ermine as the ermine devises when it
darts up through the snow and fixes its
spearlike teeth in the throat of rabbit
First he smears his hunting knife
with grease; then he lays it across the
track. The little ermine comes trotting
in dots and dashes and gallops and
dives to the knife The knife is frosted
like ice. Ice the ermine has licked, so
he ticks 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 inquisitive
tongue hopeless prisoner, until the
trapper comes.
