BADGER Elremen,s Pet.

The Phoenix firemen have acquired
a new pet, the gift Of A. j. Hansen OF
Kyrene. 1t is a badger raised from in
fancy on Mr. Hansen's ranch at KY
rene and is as tame as a kitten and
more playful than either cat or a
dog. 1t has dug itself home several
feet under ground near the engine
house, but comes out frequently to
play with the boys.
Mr.. Hansen says the badger was
the most effective remedy he had on
the ranch for the determination of
mice, gophers and other pests of that
sort, but 1t also has weakness for
spring chicken that made it an ex.
pensive piece of property. His chill
dren thought as much of it as any
child ever did of dog, but after $50
spring chickens had disappeared he
thought it was time for the badger to
be deported.-Arizona Republic.

Remarkable Dietary.

Paterson, N. j., has brought to view
at various times no small number Of
eccentric persons. The latest freak in
that community makes his breakfast
Of a cucumber, his luncheon of a car
rot, turnip or a raw potato, and eats
4 few nuts for supper. This devotee
Of a peculiar dietary never touches
flesh or fish, wears very little clothing
and sleeps out of doors except when
rain is falling He looks strong and
well, and asserts that he never feels
an ache or a pain.

holes through the scales. In these
cavities, under which runs large

 A mans health, he said, was worth more to him than any financial gain he could make, and that he knew twelve men in New York city who in their pur- suit of the worlds goods had lost that
 for which they would gladly give up their gain to get back-their health. The losing of their soul, he said, was immeasurably the greatest loss they could sustain, and one that they would igive worlds if they had them to regain
