THE WAYS OF SQUIRRELS.
Peculiarities Of Voice and Action of
the Animals in Summer
and Winter.

Zone Of the most familiar sounds of
the summer woods is the rafting bark
of the red squirrel" writes an observer.
1.-The tones Of his voice are varied and
there is a great difference between his
angry bark, his cry of fear, the chatter
ing monologue with which he addresses
an intruder on his domain, the running
fire of repartee which is the constant &C
compartment of the antics of pair at
play, and the long rafting roll call
which he utters apparently from sheer
enjoyment Of the sound or as challenge
to some unseen enemy Of his own tribe
and which reverberates through the
woods often with sufficient force to car
ry the sound for as much as half to
three-quarters of mile. If we listen
for an instant when we hear one of
these challenges sent forth we may hear
it answered from some distant point,
so family that we cannot be certain that
1t is not an echo. Some other male has
heard the challenge and, detecting the
self-satisfed note in it, has answered,
and we may be fairly certain that they
are Fastening toward each other, each
with the intention of annihilating his
foe or at least teaching him a lesson.
Gray squirrels, unlike most of the
rodents, do not hibernate in the winter
time, but are abroad and very active
during most Of the season. Their nests
are then In hollow trees, but they usual
ly leave these retreats in March and
build airier and less vermin-infested
abodes In the treetops Of leaves and
twigs. If you can watch gray squirrel
gathering nuts in the fall you will see
him take q nut in his cheek pouch and
hop along the ground, testing it every
few yards with his front feet When
he has found spot entirely to his lik-
ing he will scoop out shallow hole and,
placing the nut In 1t, will cover it up
with the loose earth. This he will stamp
down and restore to its former condi-
ton by scraping the loose leaves and
small stones over 1t.
This performance he repeats again
and again in that and other localities.
until he has hidden away in this manner
q large quantity of nuts, one squirrel
often burying several hundred. In the
winter, as he needs them, he unearths
these nuts, and 1t is wonderful how un-
erringly he can go to his various caches.
even though, as frequently happens.
they may all be covered with a foot or
more Of snow"

Great Masses Move Against Wind
and Vessels Are Moored to Them.
1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland
make at times a wide difference in the
direction of the drift of icebergs and
that of the fiat or pan ice, which, hav-
ing no great depth, is governed in its
motions by the surface currents and
the winds.
The icebergs, the larger part OF
which are submerged to great depth,
says the New York Herald, follow
only the movements of the ocean
water as a whole and are Influenced
by the winds, Thus a huge iceberg
may often be seen majestically main
tanning its slow advance in opposition
to the wind and across the general
motion Of the fields Of fiat ice sur
rounding 1t. The sealers often take
advantage Of this fact by mooring
their vessels to an iceberg to prevent
their ship drifting to leeward. The
movement Of these great mountains
Of ice Is practically irresistible.

Alexander Hamilton and Oliver
Wolcott served as secretaries of the
treasury during Washington's admins
tration, while Henry Knox, Timothy
Pickering and James McHenry served
at different times as secretaries OF
war and navy. The different attorney
generals during the Washington adj
ministration were Edmund Randolph.
William Bradford and Charles Lee.
The postmaster general was not rec
ognized as a member of the Presi-
dents cabinet until the year 1899.
All was not harmonious in the Pres
ident's cabinet, peaceful as his cleo
ton had been. Thomas Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton were not the best
of friends, and the breach widened as
it became more and more apparent
that Hamilton had more influence
than Jefferson over Washington and
was able to bring more things to pass.
Washington was as unwilling to re-
ceive his second nomination as he had
been to receive the first. and he was
anxious to retire from public life, but
again his friends made him feel that
il was his duty to accept the office
The second campaign, like the first
! was without conventions, without
nominations, and such a thing as
platform" on which the party might
stand" was as yet unheard of. But
party spirit had made itself felt. and
there were Federalists and Anti-Fed'
eralists, to whom the name of Repub'
| leans began to be given.
But both parties were eager that
! Washington should remain in office

dency and to give that office to George

known, elected for a second term

II is far cry from the time of the
election of George Washington and
John Adams to be President and Vice
President of the United States down
to the presidential campaign of the
years of our Lord, 1904. That first
election took place on the 7th Of Jam
uary in the year 1889, and such evil
dence as we have In regard to 1t
would indicate that 1t was rather a
tame affair. Indeed, it could not we'll
have been otherwise In view of the
fact that there were no opposing can
didates, and none of the elements that
enter into the election contests of our
day. Party spirit had not yet mani
tested itself and the young republic
turned with one common impulse to
Washington when II became neces-
sary to elect a President.
The "spellbinder," the Stump speak
er," the professional politician, the
chronic campaign shouter and the DO
Iitical wire puller" were as yet un.
known.
Only ten states voted at this first
election. New York, although having
ratified the constitution and thereby
having the right to vote. lost this
privilege through a bitter contest be-
tween the two branches of her Legis-
lature over the appointment of cleo
tors. There is no satisfactory record
of the number of popular votes cast
at this election, nor at any of the sue
ceeding elections until the year 1924,
when Andrew Jackson received l55,-
S72 votes; John Quincy Adams. 1O6..
81 votes; w. II, Crawford of Georgia,
44,2S2 votes, and Henry Clay, 46.5S7

| for Andrew Jackson exceeded the
number of votes cast for John Quincy

Born on Field of Waterloo.

There was recently living in town
in Germany a woman who was born
actually on the field of Waterloo while
the battle was raging. Her mother
an Irishwoman of noble family, had
married German officer and followed
him to the wars. She was present .,
every battle in the Peninsula in which
he fought. Then she went into Bel
GUM. and on the night before Water
loo she, with another woman, lay out
for hours in the wet under trees and
hedges. While the battle was still
raging she was taken III, and was car
ried into shed. where her babe was
born. 1t was a terrible cradle for the
little one; 1t had been used as field
hospital, and all around lay the shat
tered limbs which the surgeons had
amputated. But child and mother
throve. The baby was christened

It is a subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy ned

Naturally, under the conditions, the

A young man states that he had suf-

and bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheu-
matism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the
waiter, knowing his condition, sug-
gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream,
which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different
