The strateov Of a Weasel.

"a weasel is a wizard as well as q
fighter, and often wins his battles by
strategy" said Emmett Wolfe, of Mis-
sissippi. 81 was recently in fishing
camp that was near a large stack of
lumber. 1t seemed that large num-
Der of rats inhabited the cool crevices
under the lumber pile, and on day
weasel put in it's appearance. We
had the pleasure Of seeing a battle
royal every day for several days, and
by and by the weasel had killed every
rat in the colony except one, which
was nearly as large as a cat.
They fought several times a day,
and the weasel always got the worst
of it. One day we noticed it indus
trlously digging a hole under the
woodpipe, and though little of it. A
little later we saw it challenge the
rat to battle, and as soon as the fight
began to warm up the weasel sudden
ly turned tail and sneaked to the hole
like all possessed. The rat followed
in hot pursuit, and both disappeared

HOW TO WASH CI4AMoIs.

Not every housewife knows how to
wash chamois leather so as to make it
as soft and good as new. First pre-
pare a weak solution of ordinary wash
ing soda and water, wet the leather
with this, and rub into it plenty Of
white curd soap. Leave the leather
lying in this for two hours, then rub
it between the hands till 1t is .
clean. Rinse the leather in o. pF !.
weak solution of soda and wasee 10
which has been added a little Sop.
It is rinsing leather in pure water
that renders it hard, The small par
ticles of soap in the water impart to
it silky softness. Finally, wiring the
chamois in a rough towel and hang 1t
where it can dry quickly, pulling and
brushing 1t well as it dries.

oueer CD Tlme railroad Pass.

Col William Doris of Huntingdon
enjoys the rare distinction of travel
ing on q Pennsylvania Railroad pass
issued in 1850, which is without limit.
This pass is curiosity, having on it,
in addition to the necessary wording,
the picture Of an engine and two
cars, which are unique, as might be
imagined. The engine is anything
but modern, and the coaches have the
old time ''pussum belly" in which bag
gage was carried. The Colonel re-
tains this pass because he was one
of the original stockholders of the
company.-Tyrone (Pa) Herald.
