Race with Death.
The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has ii fouI:iation in
fact. Mice occasionally migrate in
large numbers when food grows scarce
and travel considerable distances to-
fresh houses Farmers in ii part of
Perthshire had d good reason to be-
come aware Of this fact when couple
of years ago vast sWarmS of mice in
vaded their cornfields at harvest time, e
But the mouse only travels wien it
has to. The Fat, on the contrary. seems
to take a yearly outing in very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
in the world. Whole troops of rats
leave the towns at the end of summer
and spend Il month or two in the cOun-
try. apparently in order to enjoy the
change of food, which the county at
fords at that time of the year in the
way Of fresh fruit and grain Before
the cold weather sets in they are alI-
back in their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same regu-
larity as swallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as
ever the snow begins to melt they
travel steadily north, sometimes for as
much as a thousand miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui
eide is so strange a phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked upon
the stories of the migration of the LEM
mings as an improbable fiction. Yet
the facts are beyond dispute. At IT.
regular intervals these rat-like crea-
lures start out from their homes in the
Businesses of northern Scandinavia irs
huge droves, numbering tens of thou
sands. and travel steadily Southwark
Death pursues them in hundred
forms. Hawks aud other birds Of prey
hover above them Foxes, wolves ana
man decimate them. Thousands are
drowned in rivers. Yet the rest stTug-
gle on until they reach the sea. They
do not stop They plunge i'll, swim QUE
and struggle on until at last their
strength fails and they drown. Not
one ever returns from this journey OF

According to the National Magazine.
men in the cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
holidays. Thousands and thousands Of
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises delve and
toll their entire lives away and at the
end are carried out to the cemeteries
without having had any more leisure
DR. enjoyment in their lives than a horse
Oh a treadmill. The rut they toll along
IN Is as narrow as a case knife" This
is not the farmers view of the city
man, whom he sees only during vaca-
tion, when the city man is taking a
brief and much needed rest The farm
er sees him sporting his "glad rags"
and mistakenly imagines him to be all
the year round only an idle butterfly,
consuming the produce of the horny
handed son of toll. The truth, it is
held, is that the city man, as rule, is
the harder worker and gets much less
enjoyment out of life. He longs for the
rural scenes and occupations of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years.
A few Of the city folks make a big lot
of money and get their follies and
amusements in the newspapers, but the
great majority of city toilers live a
very nlonotonous and stupid as well as
a very laborious and poverty stricken
life. The farmer, it is concluded, has

has only barren aspirations and disap-
pointments. The contented farmer is
