QUEER HAPPY FAMILIES.

Chicago News.
Instances of strange friendships be.
tween various anivals are common.
Many cases are known in which cat
and a hen have raised their respective
families in the same nest. An Eng
lish agriculturist last fall possessed
one of the strangest of these happy
families. The elder member Of this
group was ferret and the junior
member was young rabbit. The ma
iron mad eaten her own family, but,
given the rabbit for food. adopted and
nursed it. In another household 1t Is
related that the cat, already having
family of three, was not satisfied with
her motherly duties. So she went
into the fields and caught as many
rabbits and is rearing them with the
kittens.
Again. in certain home there lived
cat and a dog on the usual terms
of enmity. The cat mad kittens, which
| were taken from ner, drowned and
buried The bereaved mother mourn
ed. would not eat and became sort
of embodied ghost of her own dead
self Her enemy, the terrier, ceased
to annoy her, began tenderly to shep-
herd her about, dropped pieces of
food in her way and played about her
as If ne would joke her back to hap
piness. 1t was in vain.
Then the dog was missed for some
hours. He came back eventually,
bounding with pleasure. Upon the
hearthrug before the cat ne deposited
a furry something, retreated, return
ed with something else and again
went ont, to come back with similar
burden They were the dead-and-bur
led kittens, which ne had discovered
and resurrected.

CALIFORNIA SUGAR PINE.
A Timber. Fit to Replace the Best
Grades Of White Pine.

Few users of wood know that ON the
Pacific coast there is vast quantity
of lumber comparable in all essential
qualities with the best grades OF
white pine ever produced in the East.
This is furnished by the sugar pine,
tree commonly found along the west
ern slopes of the Sierra Nevada
mountains in California. Even when
compared with the giant big trees
with which it often is found, the SUI
gar pine is not a puny tree, but ire
auently reaches diameter of 10 rect
and a height of $50 feet. A single
| tree has been known to yield 54,o0o
board feet of lumber. and trees Sinai
| Ter than 10 inches are seldom cut at
present. These facts make it evident
that sugar pine lumber, in respect to
the sizes furnished, is far beyond the
eastern white pine-eSen the pumpkin
pine of early days.
The wood is scarcely distinguish
able from white pine. 1t is practical

color 1t is somewhat more resinous
however, and perhaps little brasher
II is soft, STRAIGHTFORWARD, and easily
worked 1t is used for everything fol-
whicn white pine is available, and ls
especially valuable for pattern work
The wood is already finding Its way
INTO the eastern markets. and, while
It is not at all likely that anything
out the best grades can be shipped
ong distances, there Is no doubt tina
ugar pine lumber will more and more
replace its eastern relative. There II
no difficulty whatever in furnisnin'
plank up to four feet in width and alb
solutely free from any defect, at
price that is low for material Of tina
quality.
The cut of sugar pine lumber Il
California has increased from $4,000
900 board feet in 1900 to 10000, 90
feet in 1904. and it is estimated tina
/ there are $4,000 900. 900 feet of it sti
standing.
