A MOUSE THAT SINGS"
Man Who Caught 1t Says 1t Marbles
Like q Canary.

Man Who Caught 1t Says 1t Marbles
Like a Canary.
Singing mice are rare, but a corre-
spondent writes from Yorkshire asking
whether we can give him any informa-
ton about specimen he captured.
He adds, "It has been warbling just
like a canary for the last month In our
workshop, and although / have 1t in
cage 1t still continues to sing"
That mice do occasionally "sing" Is
undeniable. Some observers say that
their "song" is softer, sweeter and
more delicate than that of the canary,
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as to compare 1t to
that of warbler or even piping bull
finch. But the question as to why they
lift up their voices in this tuneful man
ner still remains to be answered.
Three explanations have been sug-
gested:
First.-That all mice are potential vo-
calists and can learn to sing, by imita-
ton, from singing birds.
Second.-That many mice possess an
exceptional talent for mimicry, together
with keen sense of the ludicrous.
Third.-That some mice are subject
to bronchitis and that the so called
"song" Is only the wheezing Of rodents
which suffer from the distressing COM
plant.
A certain amount Of color is given to
the last theory by the fact that mouse
which was caught by the neck In q
wire trap not sufficiently strong to kill
1t Sang" while its throat was under
compression, but never again during
its subsequent life as a captive.-Lon-

JADE AS MEDICINE.


II II Used In Various Ways For Many
Diseases In China.
Everything in China Of any rarity
whatever Is certain to be dragged into
the pharmacopeia of the Chinese physi-
clan. Jade is no exception to the rule.
1t may be swallowed as powder or In
little pieces the size Of hemp seed for
various muchio-~---Dlaints. Even
Dockmarks and scars muy ~--.an4azaf-
cd by being ua1Ty rubbed with piece
of pure jade. 1t is also considered to
be OF a moist nature, and we read OF
an imperial favorite of the eighth CEN
fury who was cured Of excessive thirst
by holding fish shaped jade in her
mouth. And 80 when the tomb OF the
great commander, Ts'ao Ts'ao, third
century, A. D., was opened 200 years
after his death, among the usual OBJ
jects found in such circumstances was
a large silver bowl full of water. That
the water had not dried up was ac-
counted for by the presence In the bowl
of jade boy three feet in height.
Jade is chiefly brought from the
K'un-lun, or Koulkun, range, between
the desert Of Cobb and Tibet; from
Khoten or Ilchi In Yarkand, and from
Lan-t'ien, on the Belurtagh mountains,
still farther to the west. In the tenth
century, A. D.. the latter was actually
known as the Jade hills district,
though 1t does not appear that any jade
has ever been found there.-Professor

AMUSING BROWN BRUlN.
A Good Natured Coward That VIII
Fight when Cornered.

A Good NntuFed Coward That Will
Fight when Cornered.
The brown or black bear of Califor-
MIA is the most cowardly animal tnac
roams the hills. He is worse thieI
than the northern wolverine and at the
same time better natured than hair the
farm dogs the hunter chances upon. A
pair at play will furnish more amuse-
ment than a three ring circus and run
like scared deer IL you but show your
self through the brush. In short, the
brown bear is the most "amoosin' cuss'
Of all IL approached properly.
But don't be misled into picking
fight with either Of our small bears
unless you are well armed, for the
black or brown bear Zone and the same
animal under variations of pelage) Will
fight ferociously when cornered. You
will come upon them, too, In the most
unexpected places. Not even the will
full jacksnipe can beat brown bear In
variability OF moods or choice OF feed
ing ground. Travelling In the noun
tains one Is apt TO come upon Sir Bruin
drinking from q little wayside stream
and the very next day, having descend
ed into the foothills, find possibly a
pair playing about some poorly guard
ed sheep camp.
Good natured as Is either Of these
smaller bears, which weigh from 400
to 500 pounds apiece, 1t is best to know
how to hunt them before attempting
1t. AS with most big game, the best
way to hunt them for sport is alone,
armed with n reliable rife and a good
knife, though there Is seldom occasion
for using the latter If the hunter keeps
cool. If one is hunting for hides or to
rid section of undesirable bear neigh
bors, a well trained little dog is prob
ably the best ally. Fox terriers usual
ly are the best, as they are quick, re-
sourceful and brave TO degree. A lit
tie dog brought up in good bear coun-
try, where lie has roamed the hills all
his life has had the best training possi-
BILE and is prize to be taken care of.
AS has been said, black or brown
bear seldom keeps one address long.
but likely most of them just now are
down among the oaks, where the fall
en- acorns afford them an easy living.
There are possibly good many along
the willow fringes of the larger water
courses. but once let the bear get first
sight of you there and he will make
Off into tangle of elder scrub, willow
underbrush and blackberry vines. in
which You and your dogs will last
about three minutes.
If n bear could be persuaded TO play
football he would make the SWEETEST

by the way he goes through tangle
of underground, and the way bear
of any species will attend to dog
that dares to follow him alone into
such n retreat is certainly scandalous.
