Will Plant 100000 Trout.

Between 100000 and 100000 lake
trout, about four weeks old and averag-
ing an inch in length, 6arted back and
forth in the troughs of the Wisconsin
fish commission car which arrived in
Milwaukee recently from the Oshkosh
hatcheries. The car left soon after for
Sheboygan, where the fish were emptied
from the big cans into Lake Michigan.
The car has already made 20 trips from
Oshkosh this spring, carrying lake trout
and white fish in equal numbers, which
were placed in the lake at Sheboygan.
There remains at Oshkosh but one car
%oad of these fish to be taken to the lake.
The commission will then plant rainbow
trout, taken FRONT the hatchery at Mad
ison, in the waters of the inland lakes
in the northern half of the state.

while she was there, a piece of cloth
was held out to her. She took it in
her mouth and drew it in and then
smoothed it out by poking and patting
1t with her nose to take out the Jumps
Then she covered the cloth over with
the leaves which were in the box, but
for some reason the arrangement did
not suit her, and she took the cloth
den. She continued restless and
howIed continuously until well into
the night.
At half-past six the next morning
when we went out to see her, she
jumped out of the den, yawning and
stretching as usual, but Without recog-
nizing us in the usual way. Then she
growled, dashed into the upper COM
partment of the cen, and soon reap
peared with a newly-born cub in her
mouth. She dropped it on the ground,
pushed it with her nose, and then
picked it up again, and in great agi-
tation carried it to different parts of
the cage, as though looking for safe
place to deposit it. When we went
away, she carried it back into the den,
where she eventually discovered the
whole family of five baby foxes. And
since then, whenever disturbed, she
would pick up one of the little ones
and carry it to new place. Finally,
she made a hollow in the leaves at one
corner of the cage, and put all the
babies into it. spread an awning over
that part of the cage, and they have
been there ever since. "The Sprite"
showed great interest in the proceed
ings from the first, and would I'M
doubtedly have taken part in them had
the vixen allowed him to do so. But
whenever he poked his nose into the
den to have a look at the children,
the mother snapped at him, and drove
him away. But ne seemed to take it
all in good part. and when another
chsnce offered tried 1t again. Once,
when one of the cubs had been left on
the ground and the vixen had gone for
another one, THE Sprite" saw his op-
portunity and made the most of it. He
walked up to the baby, shifted it,
pushed it gently with his nose, all the
while wagging his tail, and then he
began to leap playfully over it, each
sime landing close to it, but never up
on it. How long he would have amused
himself in this way we shall never
know, for in the midst of the sport
the vixen flew at him and drove him
off in a hurry. Then she picked up the

CUTTING SASHIMI.

And at the end of the meal comes the
raw chunk of daikon already men

The kitchen in a Japanese home is
simple in the extreme when compared
with the well-equipped American
kitchen. An iron apparatus in which
wood is used for fuel serves as the
cook stove. There is also a large
hibachi long enough sometimes for
boiling and frying, although The fry
ing pan is very little used except tt
make a dish closely resembling our
omelet. When a great heat is re-
quired a "shichi rim" pan is used. This
is a brazier of earthrnware, con-
structed so as to admit strong cur
rent air in the charcoal. So much for
the kitchen.
With rice and fish which the nu-
merous rivers and lakes of Japan sup
ply bountifully and in infinite variety,
there are numerous vegetables pre-
pared in various ways. The .shalottes
and scarlet runner beans, without
their sheels, are the most common.
One peculiar dish in the vegetable line
is the lily bulb boiled in sugar. And
there is "nori" (seaweed) which is
kept in store dry and prepared by the
addition of hot water. Meat other
than fish is eaten to a very limited
extent. as it is forbidden by Buddhism.
However, in some places meat is

A vIXEN'S CHILDREN
PARENTAL CARE OF A MOTHER
Fox FOR HER CUBS.
2orn in Captivity, They Were Studied
by a Naturalist Change
Brought by Family
Cares.

Readers of my stories may remem-
Der the story of THE Sprite," the
little red fox which year ago took
from its home IN burrow at Tops
field, Mass, and those who attended
some of my lectures during the past
winter will scarcely have forgotten
the brighteyed, sharp-nosed, bushy-
tailed little rascal which appeared
with me on the platform, and whose
silky lead they patted at the close of
the evening. 1t may also be remem-
bered that, after his mate was killed
by the dogs N the fall, another mate
was bought for him, and that both
foxes were housed in a large wire cage
in the garden.
Before the cold weather came, I had
erected, on the north and east sides
of the cage, high wind-breaks, which
sheltered the foxes from the bitterest
wooden pen was placed, with two
compartments, one near the ground
and the other above it. The den they
used chiefly as playhouse. After
chasing one another round the cage,
seemingly in a game of tag, one of
them would dart into the den, as
though that were home, and the
other would seldom pursue him into
the upper compartment, and, coming
to the door, would paw her mate play
fully as he passed underneath. At
other times they would wrestle to-
gether in fun, and the one which was
thrown down would be gently chewed,
until it changed the subject by leap
ing to his feet, and reversed the order
of things. In short, they lived hap
py, care-free lives, until a few days
ago, when family cares began to oc
cupy them both.
On the 23d of March, the vixen be-
came very restless, jumping in and
out of both compartments of the den,
attempting to burrow out CT the cage,
and often bowling piteously. Some
times she would run up to "The
Sprite" and throw herself on her back
in front of him, just as some dogs
will do when they meet any one they
are pleased to see, or when they wish
to be petted. When any OF us went
near, she dashed around the cage,
stopping now and then to wag her
tail, and expressing great delight. At
times the vixen would leap into the
upper compartment of the den, and

ern football and college men all over the
west, and especially those interested in
athletics are pleased as result East
ern colleges have practically ignored
the western institutions in the past
in football matters, but for this there has
been good explanation in the fact that
games between the two sections so far
apart are impracticaule without inter-
fering with more important college du-
ties. Eastern college men at the same
time have never seriously entertained
the idea that western football had been
advanced TO the stage it had reached in
the east, where it got its start, and, aft
er the turning out of such star teams as
that Of Michigan and Minnesota last
year, many western college men have
longed for some chance to measure the
latest western football development with
the latest of the east. Being denied this
they were disposed to resent an apparent
clanniShness on the part of the eastern
representatives. Now that the latter,
however, have assigned this section rec
ognition in the making of football rules
there will be less sectional criticism.
At the first meeting of the committee
five changes were made. The drop kick
was reduced from five to four points. 1t
was also decided that with four men
back, besides the quarter stand behind
the line, one must stand outside the end.
All penalties are for either or Is yards.
Another new ruling is that the team
which is losing can have the choice of
kick off or the wind, but it cannot have
both together; the last is that the quar-
ter-back can run from any place on the
field. The committee is made up as fol-
lows: Paul J. Dashiel, United States
Naval academy, Chairman; Walter
Camp, Yale, secretary; John c. Bell,
University Of Pennsylvania; L. M. Den
mis-, Cornell; r. d. Wrenn, Harvard; J.
B. Fine, Princeton; A. A. Stagg, Uni
