A London shop assistant says: at Is
my duty every night to go cut to the
rear of the premises and fire or an old
fiintlock pistol. This curious custom
dates back to the middle of the eight
zenith century. Our shop, now in a
crowded north London district, was in
those old days practically in the coun-
Try, and it was the custom of the then
proprietor, VINO was n timid, eccentric
man, to fire pistol of every night to
let the would be burglar know he
armed and prepared for him. Think

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,

The hunter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny tracks like
the dots and dashes of the telegraphic

ring into one another In dash; there
a dead stop, where the quick cared
stoat has paused. with beady eyes alert,
for snowbird or rabbit; here; again, a
clear blank on thesnow, where the crafty
little fornger has Owed below the light
surface and wriggled forward ike a

fangs into the heart blood of the nm
wary snow bunting.
From the length of the leaps the trap

full grown ermine has hair too coarse
to be damaged by snare. IL, there
fore the tracks indicate n full own

released, springs upward with a jerk
that lifts the ermine OF the ground
and strangles 1t.
