recovered. The conscience stricken
owner thereupon searched for the &C.
cused girl, and having found her,
made generous amends for the uni st
charge she had brought against her.
Another case of an animals being
cut open to produce evidence
took place in Scotland in
1897. An errand boy in a
grocery store in Perth was given a
ten-pound note by his employer to
purchase five shillings' worth of
stamps. The boy started on his mis-
sion accompanied by his dog, a frisky,
wire-haired terrier, named Bob, but
returned half an hour later in great
excitement saying that the animal had
snatched the note out of his hand and
before he could regain it had eaten the
tenner."
The boy was asked if he would be
willing for his dog to be killed in Or
der that portions of the note might
be recovered end his own innocence
established, but this he refused saying
the little animal was the only friend
be l.a.l, and he wasn't "go;ng back on
him. He stoutly declared his read
mess to 60 to prison rather than sac
rifice Bob.
His master, who was kindly
Scotchman, consulted a veterinary, who
declared that he could examine Bob 8
stomach without making him forfeit
his life, and when he had assured Bob's
owner that tho n~;'nal w,,n!1 be all
right in .hc course o. few days the
boy gave his consent to the operation.
Tue deg was given an anaesthetic,
his stomach was cut open and several
portions of undigested paper removed.
On analysis these proved to belong
to "bankno,e quality" and the canny
Scotchman having kept record Of
the number of the note, an affidavit
was sworn and the money subsequent
ly paid. The boy was promoted, Bob
was soon running about as we'll as
ever, and what had promised to be a
tragedy ended to the entire satlsfac

PRESENT DAY HANDWRlT.
ING.

The handwriting of young ladies
has changed very considerably since
the time of their grandmothers. Then
the writing master formed part of
their educational equipment, and a
beautiful flowing Italian hand, legible
even in old and faded letters, was con-
sistently aimed at.
l do not think women are taught
to write at all in the present day; at
any rate, if they are, they are not
taught to hold their pens. Instead
of graceful, easy position of the pen.
resting on the second finger, and held
between the first finger and the thumb,
the girl now boldly grasps the pen
much as German does his fork, like
an implement of force, and scrawls
backward with difficulty, and slowly.
This is supposed to give character to
the handwriting. 1t certainly looks
very clumsy, and tho backward style
of handwriting does not show charac-
ter, as 1t is entirely artificial. How
ever, thanks to the typewriter, short
hand, and the telephone, l suppose no
one will write at all in the coming by
and by, and the beautiful caligraphy
as clear as print, so much priced by
scholars in the old monasteries, will
become tradition of the dark ages.

THE GRAY SQUIRREL.

Zone of the most familiar sounds
of the summer woods is the rattling
bark of the red SQUIRREL" writes an
observer. "The tones of his voice are
varied and there is great difference
between his angry bark, his cry of
fear, the chattering monologue with
which be addresses an intruder on his
domain, the running fire of repartee
which is the constant accompaniment
of the antics of pair at play and the
long rattling 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 carry 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
answer formed some distant point so
family that we cannot be certain that
it is not an echo. Some other male
has heard the challenge and, detecting
the self satisfied note in it, has answer
ed, and we may be fairly certain that
they are Fastening toward each other,
each with the attention of annihilat-
ing his foe or at least teaching him a
lesson.
"Gray squirrels, unlike most of the
rodents, do not hibernate in the win
ter time, but arc abroad and very ac-
tive during most of the season. Their
nests are then in hollow trees, but they
usually leave these retreats in March
and build airier and less vermin in.
