Ravaees of Field Mice.

Winter is often a season of starvation
with the voles, or meadow mice, for those
that dwell far from corn and grain fields
do not lay by enough provisions to last
them until spring, so they are often forced
to live on food that they would otherwise
refuse. If we examine the highway thick
cts after particularly cold season, we
will find that the trunks of many small
saplings and bushes have been girdled
close to the ground, and we will also dis
cover quantities of the outside bark Iy-
ing where 1t has been dropped after the
mice have eaten the nutritious part In
a brush-lot, where workmen have lately cut
away the underground, the mice have held

poplar twigs of bark, torn into the stag
norm sumach heads to reach the seeds
and devastated every stalk of "bock''
while searching for the fruit. Hazel thorn
and raspberry bushes, wild choke cherry.

all contributed part of their covering
to the support of these waits of nature,

MermaIds Growing Scarce.

The strangest of all strange fish must
surely be the manatee and the dugong
me latter is the mermaid of tabled lore.
Inc dugong live in floclSs along the shores
or the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the
Gulf OF Manaar; where they browse on
seaweed and river vegetation. They are
very affectionate in disposition, and
especially is this shown in the love of the
mother for her offspring. which is much
stronger than her instinct of self preser-
Walton. Neither with the male leave the
female If she be attacked; and instances
are on record where the companions Of
the manatee gathered round and made
an enort to withdraw the deadly harpOon.
IL Is supposed that the rude approach to
the human outline, observed in the shape
OF the head of the dugong; the attitude
OF the mother in clasping her young to
her breast, with one fiipper, while swim
ming with the other, holding both above
water and suddenly diving and showing
her nsh-llke tail when alarmed, gave rise
TO the mermaid myth, first told by the
Arap seamen. Jules Verne gives thrill
ing description of the capture of a dug
ohs In the Red Sea, when its flesh was
desired as food. Naturalists tell us that
the nesh of the manatee and the dug
ong much resembles well-fatted pork Of
pleasant flavor, and is highly esteemed as
1000. For this reason they were much
hunted and are fast becoming extinct;
showing only too plainly the effect Of
mans unceasing war on those whom he
mas marked as his victims.-[Evelyn Sin

Nth Power Reporters.

There are conspicuous examples of men
In newspaper life who have raised re-
porting to the Nth power. They are not
more than reporters when they are called
correspondents Great correspondents
are reporters plus They are reporters
and critics. Tney are reporters and
statesmen. They are reporters and
moralists. They are reporters and artists.
They are reporters and diplomatists.
They are reporters and citizens of the
world. One of these was Charles Dickens.
when in the field of Journalism he fitted
himself as a fictionist and an artist for
literature. One of these was Thackeray,
when as a special correspondent he
learned the art of seeing Things. of put
ting things and of telling things which
afterward stood him in fine account as
a novelist, satirist and philosopher.
one of these must have been Victor
Hugo, whose reports OF the actual Water
loo and of the actual conditions of criml-
nal life, convict life, life on the galleys
and life in the slums may be said TO be
an inspiration to journalism, localized
and placed at the service of the spirit
man. One of these was our Washington
Irving. whose sketches of English life
and whose legends of the time when the
Puritan less feared the Indian on the
warpath than he did the Hollander on
the trade path can nowhere be exceeded
for educational uplift and for luminous
stimulation. Another of them is James
Fenimore Cooper. He wrote of love as
well as of war, but he wrote of war, of
the forest, of the lakes of the wonders
of nature, of the cataclysms of battle
and of the conquering forces which first
made our northern country the theatre
of European dominance and afterward
the theatre of Anglo-SaXon predominance
of civilization as against French en-
deavor.-ISt. Clair McKelway at Yale.

The Kind Of Man The President Likes.

Systematic In his great pressure Of
business methodical In his pastimes, a
human machine of tremendous capacity
of daily output, geared to habits of the
utmost efficiency, this Is George b.
Cortelyou as seen by the world with which
he comes in official contact. His is a
sound mind in a body as sound as a nut,
and he 80 orders his pastimes that they
help to keep him fit for all he has to do.
More than one guest of the President has
had cause to regret that he had neglected
hard riding or enthusiastic walking In
his earlier years. and many a smile OF
pleased appreciation of an afternoons
outing in the company of this most dis
tinguished citizen has masked sore bones
and aching muscles.
Here is where Mr. Cortelyou has proved
himself capable of keeping to any pace
cut out for him. In his Office no amount
of work has been able to daunt him, while
on the road he is trained to come up smil
ing no matter how rough or long the
going may be. In his transformations way,
he is one Of the best sportsmen in Wash
lngton, and his condition Is that of an
athlete keyed to the hour He learned
to ride as a youngster who had to have
a leg up to mount, but once on board
he stuck like a burr. Riding was an
ardent pastime with him many years be-
fore he had to follow hard-riding Presi-
dent.
He picked up boxing, and became un-
commonly handy with the gloves, until
prizes for amateur sparring matches were
among his athletic laurels The deep
chested. broad shouldered, compactly-
muscled build Of him was ready for the
making of a good all-round athlete. had
Mr., Cortelyou cared to specialize in this
glittering field. Through hard working
youth, however. he found time to be-
come a more than respectable swimmer
and oarsman. 1t was a training that
bred i'm him the love Of outdoor exercise,
and which sends him out on long, swing
ing walks whenever he can get free from
official harness. THAT man is as strong
as a horse and works like n team OF
EN-" was the admiring tribute once paid
by Speaker Cannon to the untirlng in
dustry of Mr. Cortelyou. He is a notably
consistent figure in a vigorous outdoor

way breaches the gospel of the strenuous
