At no time in the wild animals life
are his movements so clearly r%eveale&
as when teli+ale snow covers the land,
says Country Life in America The
very best time to study the ways of
all the terrestrial animals in the
try is when a light fall of wet snow
has covered the frozen ground; then
each foot mark is clearly defined. If
the snow is too soft, the tracks are
blurred and consequently difficult to
identify. If there is much wind, the
snow covers the tracks, or at least par
TALLY obliterates them; SO it is advis-
able, if you would minimize your diff
iculties, to start as Don as possible
after the snow has fallen. To him who
would study the movements of ami
mails of all kinds from mice, shrews
and squirrels to mink, muskrats and
foxes, and birds and beasts of many
kinds, the Northern winter is a season
of constant pleasure and interest, and
many stories of shrewd animal instinct
and tragedies as well may be read by
tracks in the snow.

A remarkdle instance of a snake
having been Tiled by a mouse is re-
corded by MI L. +. Francis, of VIM
bledon. He Etates that an ordinary
grass snake hhich he had in confine-
ment was giHl a mouse for food. The
snake made sveral attempts to catch
the mouse, LIT in every case missed.
The next da3the snake was found to
be dead, andhere was evidence that
it had been Hacked and killed by the
mouse, whic4was alive, and had eaten
a part of thSsnake's body. The skill
of the mongbse in tackling the cobra
is well know, but we fancy a case
of this kind which could, of course,

1t is a generally accepted idea that
virtue is its own reward. An occur
renee of a few days ago, however, has
convinced n young maj of lola that
there is another side to the question.
He is a young bachelor who has lived
in lola some years. AT the time he
left home his mother gave him a nice,
new Bible, with the earnest hope that
he would read it regularly. The young
man has failed in this, failing carefully
and independently. But now he re-
grets that he didn't read it "from xiv
yer to kivver' the first chance he had.
Almost by accident he opened the good
fook the other day and found smoothly
pressed in its inside pages a crisp $40
bill, which his mother doubtless placed
there, and which she has been waiting
all these years for him to mention hav-
ing found, but the son never did.-Iola

Chinese Schools Routine.

Each Chinese schoolboy must furnish
his own stool and table for school
work, and the -Four Precious Arti-
cles,'' which are the ink slab, a cake of
India ink, a brush for writing, and pa
per. With these he begins his weary
task Of learning to write and read the
thousands of Chinese characters.
These are to open the way to the Chi
nese classics, and a knowledge Of this
ancient literature and wisdom means
education to the Chinese. At the
opening of a Chinese school, says a
writer in Everyhody's Magazine, a pa
per OIL which is written the name of
Confucius is pasted on the wall. Be
fore this honored name the pupils and
teachers burn paper money and joss
sticks and bow their heads three times
to the floor. The teacher then tells
Confucius the day. the month, and the
year when the school is opened, and
begs for his favor. Every morning,
when the pupils arrive, they must bow
twice. nee for the teacher and once

Romance or HOAX ,

A strange will case has been sprung
upon Paris by an italian named Pol
TAM, in poor circumstances. His story
is that twenty years ago, after trying
unsucccssfully to establish IL business
in Paris with his brother, he went to
America. In 1900 his brother died, but
being informed by relatives that he
had left only debts, that seemed no
reason for leaving America. A year
later, however, he did return to Italy,
and since then his relatives i'll Paris
had suddenly ceased to correspond
with him. Making his way to Paris
recently, he learned to his amazement
that a woman, elegantly dressed, had
posed at the Italian Embassy as his
widow and by papers properly drawn
had procured a certificate emitting her
to receive moneys left by the dead
brother and amounting to $4,000. Be
sides the ambassador, the consul-gen-
eral is also believed to have been i'm
posed upon.-London Globe.

In June. 1902, James Popp, who lives
in the town of CASTLE, noticed honey
bees. flying around his bedroom win
dow and crawling in between the clap
boards. He gave little attention to
the matter at the time, but as the bees
continued to appear about the house
he determined on Sunday last to make
an investigation. Upon removing some
of the clapboards near the spot where
they seemed to congregate most fire.
quently, he found that between the
studding and the window frame there
was a solid mass of honey, filling a
space eight inches in width and four
feet in length.
Encouraged by the find, Mr.. Popp
proceeded to take up his bedroom floor,
and found that the bees had been bust
~ at work underneath depositing the
fruits of their labor. Carefully re-
moving the mass and weighing it, he
was pleased to find as the results OF his
discovery n~inety-five pounds of honey
Of fine quality.-Rochester Union anc

Elevator Indicators.

The elevator batteries in nearly all
of the larger buildings are now
equipped with indicators which tell of
the location of the car at all times, and
also to give notice of the direction in
which it may be travelling. These
things are of great service to persons
making use of the cars. The draw
back about this particular apparatus,
however, is that it is necessary to make
an inspection of each indicator, and
the prospective passenger may lose
much valuable time in passing along
and making this examination. What
is said to be an improvement on this
consists of an audible signal, which is
given as the elevator car approaches
and leaves each floor. = Philadelphia

DIETRICH ACQUITTED.
Not a Senator When Alleged Bribery
Was Committed.

Omaha, Neb.-The trial of Senator
Dietrich for alleged bribery, in connec.
ton with a postofice appointment at
Hastings, Neb., came to an abrupt end
when the United States Circuit Court,
Judge Van Devanter presiding, decided
that Mr.. Dietrich was not a Senator at
the time the alleged acts occurred. The
opinion was a long one, and is said to
establish a precedent. The effect OF
the decision is that a mar is not an &C.
tual member of Congress from the time
of his election until he takes the oath
at the bar of the house to which he is
elected, and that he is not amenable to
the law as a member of Congress and
officer of the United States in that in
teryal.

that the State Game law, prohibiting

United States Constitution, as Interior

der the State Constitution, as inter-
fering with the property rights and
liberty of citizens, and that every man

A lawyer reports a queer case about
which he was consulted professionally.
A woman left a certain town thirty
seven years ago without paying a groc-
cry bill, not accidentally, but intention
ally. This action of hers had weighed
on her conscience all the time to so
great IN extent that she became NOR
bid. and could not get sleep at night.
Why she did not send the money to the
grocer does not appear, but finally she
consulted the lawyer. and Oh his adj
vice, she paid the debt. That night
she went to sleep early and did not
wake until about noon the next day.
