"sLEEPY" WOODcHUck.
The Little Animals Are Far More
Alert Than They, Appear.

The Little Animals Are Far More
Alert Than They, Appear.
If there is any one of our native ami
mails that looks slow. .tclumsy, lazy
and generally unfit to survive in the
struggle for existence it is the wood
chuck. After he has built, or rather
excavated, his home which, to tell
the truth, he does in a rapid and bust
nesslike wayne does nothing but eat
and sleep. Yet any one who sizes him
up as an incompetent is likely to get
surprises.
When your garden is not far from
the woods you may be awakened in
the middle of the night by series Of
most alarming yells and bowls, oc-
casioned by some hungry woodchuck
that has come for nocturnal visit to
the cabbage patch and met with a
warm reception from your dogs. The
woodchuck usually gets away appar-
emily unframed, while the dogs are
left to nurse their scratched noses and
fore paws. The woodchuck, in fact, has
plenty of courage and will always fight
in preference to running away.
Throughout the summer this little
wood pig' spends most of his time in
the vicinity Of his burrow, coming out
early in the morning to take his break
fast, returning to his nest for a morn
ing nap, appearing again at noon and
late in the afternoon for his dinner and
supper, only to return again for an
other snooze. Occasionally he makes
a visit to some neighboring orchard or
garden. By Oct. 1, when he is fat, he
retires into his subterranean home for
long sleep, until, as we are led to be-
lieve, the proverbial ground hog" day.

Spiders are not insects, as most peo-
pie think. The spider has eight legs,
whereas an insect cannot have more
than six. The nervous system is con-
structed on a totally different basis,
and SO are the circulation and respira-
ton. The eyes are different, the in
sects having many compound eyes and
the spider never having more than
eight and all of them simple. Then a
spider has no separate head, the head
