Only known Creature That Eats the

you don't have to skirmish around
much to get feed to fatten one Of these
hemlock porcupines on" says an old
woodsman. Just sprinkle some salt
over q stick of cordwood or saw log for
that matter, and he'll eat the whole
business and enjoy it as you would
mince pie" The customary diet Of
these animals is hemlock browse. They
make themselves a home in a hollow
log or under the roots of some old tree,
but always within reach Of a big hem
lock.
The hemlock is their pasture, and
they make beaten paths going to and
fro between the tree and their home
Once up in a tree the p0rcupine goes
out on the big limbs and, pulling the
small branches in with one paw,
browses on the pungent leaves. In go
ing through the woods you Will find
little piles of these fine leaves on the
ground under hemlock trees. That
means that a porcupine is feeding in
the tree, the leaves on the grouad be-
ing dropped from his feast.
Sometimes a porcupine will remain
in hemlock tree for a week at a time,
hugging close 20 the trunk at night
and feeding during the day. This Curl
GUS little beast is the only known liv-
ing thing that eats the foliage Of the
hemlock.

DANGER SPOTS IN A STORM.
Places to Avoid when the Lightning
Is Flashing.

Places 10 Avoid when the Lightning
Is Flashing.
Out Of doors trees should be avoided
in a thunderstorm. and If from the ra-
pidity with which the explosion fol-
lows the flash it rs evident that cleo
trio clouds are near at hand a recum-
bent posture is the safest. 1t is seldom
dangerous to take shelter under sheds,
carts or low buildings or under the
arch of a bridge. and a distance OF
twenty or thirty feet from tall trees or
houses is an eligible situation, for
should a discharge take place these
elevated bodies are most likely to re-
ceive it.
1t is well also to avoid water, for 1t
is good conductor, and the height Of
a human being near the stream may
determine the direction Of a discharge.
Within doors we are tolerably safe in
the middle of a carpeted room or when
standing on a thick hearth rug. The
chimney should be avoided on account
OF the conducting power of the carbon
deposited in it, and gilt holdings or
bell wires are sources Of risk. In bed
we are tolerably safe. since blankets
and feathers are bad conductors.
1t is injudicious to take refuge in a
cellar, because the discharge IS often
from the earth to n cloud. and build
ings frequently sustain the greatest
injury in their Easements.

is paid to teach the young ideas how

1 doubt If the pranks Of the present

OF his predecessors. can remember
a story that went the rounds some
years ago Of a daring junior OF the
Grenadier guards who chissfed his colo
mel in n fashion that would not be
tolerated today. But the colonel was
not disposed to deal leniently with
him. He kept unusually late, or rather
early, hours, so one day an early pa
rade was ordered Unexpectedly, and
five minutes before the hour the colo
mel rode past the culprit's quarters.
Cheerfully unconscious Of impending
doom, the latter leaned out Of his bed
room window in the airy garments OF
sleep to say good morning. The colo
mel chuckled and rode on, but to his
surprise at the str 'Ie of time the sub
altern stepped out on parade fully
dressed and all in order. He knew OF
the trap and had donned the looser
garment over his uniform TO take a
rise out Of his uperior.--London Tat
