Lei Baby slcep.

A young infant ought to spend the
greater part Of its time asleep. In fact.
the two great duties of its life are feed

10 occupy much more time than the
first. Never allow baby to be reused
from its sleep even to see the most
important of visitors. Remember that
It is often pollteness and not affection
which makes people ask to see the
baby and do not let the little one be
aroused from its slumber. When it
has rested long enough it will wake
naturally, but to be suddenly reused
often causes considerable shock to its
nerves and injury to its health.

The word lobster" as slang term

The prumminr Of crou,.

Who has not heard the drumming of
rnffed grouse while in the woods dur
Ing the spring months? 1t is the most
common sound of woolng, heard from
every thicket at every hour of the day.
There is still q misconception MS to how
the drumming is done. The general be.
lief is that the bird produces the sound
by working its wings rapidly, using
them TO strike its body or n log. 1t is
true that the ruffed grouse. like most
chickens, flaps its wings in the excite
ment OF its love song, but that the
drumming is produced in that manner
is a myth. have often watched
cock which, standing on log and
drumming for dear life, apparently did
not move feather. though | must
state that the drumming was not so
loud as If the wings had been tapped.
Flapping the wings evidently fills with
air the lungs and throat of the bird,
but is not an Indispensable agency in
producing the drumming. If the ruffed
grouse could work its wings as quickly
as the closing strophe OF the drumming

DOGS AND DEER.
/ Mnd Flight For Life In the wilds
of Siberia.


The strength OF herelity both In wild
and in domesticated animals isbrought
into clear light by an Incident related
in book, .In Search OF Siberian
Klondlke" The authors Of the book
We're travelling by dog team through
the wllds of Siberia.
At 4 O'clock in the afternoon the dogs
suddenly broke into swift run, ana
We knew they had scented something
that interested them. We soon per
ceiyed that we had struck deer trail
and that we were nearing an encamp-
ment. We turned a bend In the road,
and there a hundred yards ahead OF us
we saw the cause of the dogs excite
ment.
A team of reindeer We're running for
their lives. Their fungus driver was
lashlng them with the whip and was
urging them with all his might, for he
knew as well as we that IL our dogs
overlook them before the camp was
reached we seven men would be utter
~ powerless to prevent the dogs from
tearing the deer to>pieces. Our driver
put on the brake with all his might.
bnt II had not the least effect. The
fourteen dogs had become wolves in
the turn of hand, and no brake could
stop them. There We're many stumps
and other distinctions along our way.
and my driver had great difficulty in
preventing smashup.
For a short time the deer held their
own and, In fact, gained on us, but
before the yurta (yillage) came in sight
we were gaining rapidly While we
were still at some distance the people
of the village warned by the cries of
the dogs, comprehended what was the
matter aid, arming themselves with
sticks and spears, came running to-
ward us. As they came on they spread
out in fanlike formation across the
trail. When the terrified deer reached
the line the men spread out and let the
team through and instantly closed
again to dispute the passage of our
dogs.
Our driver was nowise minded to let
the natives club his dogs and perhaps
lnjure the valuable animals, so he re-
sorted to the last expedient. Giving
shout of warning to me, he suddenly
by a deft motion turned our siedge
completely over, landing me in a snow.
drift on my head. In this position the
sledge was all brake, and the dogs We're
forced TO stop. They were leaping In
their harness and yelling like fiends
incarnate.
l sat up in the snow bank and laugh
ed. The other drivers had followed our
example, and the struggling tangle Of
sledges, harness. dogs and men formed
a scene that, TO the novice at least, was
highly ludicrous. The drivers and the
village people We're belaboring the dogs,
and the entire herd of reindeer belong
ing TO the village was escaping In all
directions up the hills.
The reader may well ask how the ma
tives can use both dogs and reindeer If
the sight of deer has such a madden
ing effect on the dogs. The explana-
ton is simple. The two never go 10
sether. There is the dog country and
the deer country, but they do not over
lap Confusion is often unavoidably
caused by travelling with dogs through
a deer country, but the natives do not
take 1t in III part, knowing that If they
themselves have TO travel with deer
through dog country they will cause
quite as much Inconvenience.

exchange business was dull and nominal,
partly owing to its. being the eve of the

monetary outlook caused gloom In most
sections. The present tightness Of money
is not regarded as extraordinary, con-
sidering the requirements for crop moving
and other annual needs early in October.
Consols and home rails were quiet. Amer
leans opened firm, eased somewhat, huCtu-

HOGS-Receipts this morning were only
moderate, the same as every other day of
late and the total for the week as will be
noted from the figures given above is small
but still about on a par with previous weeks
though smaller than year ago. That is
not all. present prospects would appear to
favor the belief that receipts will continue
small at this point for another thirty or
sixty days.
Under the influence of the moderate run
this morning heavy hogs which have been
selling in pretty low notches all the week
advanced 5@10c and the market was active
so that a clearance was made for the first
time i'm some days. Light hogs which have
shown very little change during the week.
that IS remaining about stationary while
heavy weights were breaking, did not par
ticipate in the advance this morning Most
OF the heavy hogs went at S495G510 while
light hogs sold on up as high as S5.25.
The hog market has been In very unsatis-
factory condition this week. Packers claim
that at the ruling prices for provisions
live hogs ought to be selling on the basis
OF 81 50 at Chicago. That they believe what
they say is shown by their meager pur-
chases at all packing points. Were Il not
for the support given the market by ship
pers and buyers for the fresh meat trade
drop down very rapidly. AS It Is the good
fresh meat trade In connection with the
light receipts is preventing packers from

would like to see them. SO long as packers
feel that the market is too high they are

and the result is almost certain 10 be

market has experienced this week prices on
an average are only about 5q7cc lower than
a week ago.
