safety lest you lose your way and 80
fail to obtain the great prize which
awaits you"
The Otter thanked him, and all day
they journeyed together. The Rabbit
was very kind to the stranger He pro
vided his food for him during the day
and cut down bushes to make a bed for
him at night
On the afternoon Of the second day
the Otter noticed that the Rabbit was
collecting bark ana sticks and carrying
them on his back.
"Why do you do that, my brotherT
the Otter asked
"That you may be warm" the Rabbit
replied. "My friends at the council
place would punish me sore If they
know that l allowed you to suffer with
cold on the way"
When night came the Rabbit selected
a place for their camp, then klndled a
great fire Of the sticks and bark. When
supper was over the otter noticed that
he was making a paddle from a piece
of wood which he had carried all day.
"Why do you do that, my brotherr'
the Otter again inquired.
"That I may have good Dreams" the
Rabbit answered. Il always sleep with
a paddle under my head and then the
evil dreams never trouble me-"
When the paddle was finished the
Rabbit set to work cutting down the
bushes and making q clear trail from
the camp to the bank Of the river.
"Why do you do that. my brotherT'
once more the otter asked.
"This is the place where it rains fire, -
the Rabbit replied, "and I am making
ready a way for us to escape II il
should rain fire tonight. I will watch
while you sleep, but you must show
your beautiful coat unharmed at the
great council. so l advise that you
take it of and hang it on the limb of
a tree where the Ere cannot burn it."
The Otter did as he was told and
was soon fast asleep.
The Rabbit waited until the FIRE had
burned down into a heap Of fine Goals
then he called out 1T rains fire; II

The Otter was weary with his long

Again the Rabbit called little loud

Valuable Eqas.

A moa's egg has been found in a
mining district in central Otago,
New Zealand. There was a fall of
earth in a dredging claim and pres
emily the huge egg was seen floating
uninjured in the water. The dis
covery is the more interesting from
the fact that it is the second perfect
moa's egg that has ever been found.
The only other perfect specimen
was unearthed by a man while dig
ging in the alluvial soil of the Kai-
koura mountains in the early sixties.
This egg, which was nine inches
in length and seven inches in
breadth, was taken to England and
sold for $500. Some idea of the
size of these eggs may be CLEANED
from the fact that a mans hat makes
an excellent egg cup for them.

suspect that l had the papers and had
or might recognize him. and he laid
his plans accordingly. 1 had my Office
at that time in a street of the Strand.
1t was up four flights and in the rear
and quite cut OF from any other build
ing.
can't say that 1 expected a call
from the major. cannot even say
that I was sure he knew what a whip
/ held over him and was prepared for
any move on his part. If l had figured
on his making any move at all It would
have been to drop out Of sight and be
heard Of in the club no more. Perhaps
this would have been his course had
not the pickings been so good and had
he not been so sure that his rascalities
were too deeply concealed to be ex-
posed.
1t was one dark and foggy February
day that he appeared in my chambers
with the excuse that he wished to con-
suit me on a legal matter. He stated a
theoretical case with great fiuency and
many details, and his friendly demean-
or in time threw me Off my guard. AT
least had he come in any other manner
l should have been more or less pre-
pared for the move he finally made.
We were talking in a quiet, conhden'
tial way, as lawyer and client may
and he sat facing me and not over -four
feet away when he suddenly drew a
knife and sprang at me. What did In
defense was pure instinct. l was q
pretty strong man then, paying consid
erable attention to athletics, and as
rose up 1 caught him by the wrist Of
the hand holding the knife. and we
struggled around the room for two ol
three minutes. At the end of that time
and without my knowing that the knif'
had touched him he sank down on thu
floor and was dead in FIVE minutes
In our struggle the knife had beer
turned against him and penetrated hi
abdomen and ended his life.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Valuable Hints on the Care and Repair
Of Furniture.

N~NeS'S 'Rheo OF INC OaTo ana REPAIR
Of Furniture.
As the time for house cleaning
approaches the spots, stains and
scratches on the furniture begin to
stare the housekeeper in the face.
House cleaning can be made salts
factory only by removing as many
of these eyesores as possible before
the real work of cleaning has com
menced.
Oil stains on wood can be removed
with pipe clay. Mix pipe clay and
water to a stiff paste, apply paste to
oil spots, leave until next day, re-
move the clay, and the stains will
have disappeared.
Furniture can be frightened by a
polish consisting of two parts Of
raw linseed oil and one of turpen-
tine. After shaking thoroughly ap-
ply with a flannel cloth and rub
briskly until dry.
For the wicker furniture that is
too dirty to be used any longer pre-
pare an enamel coating. With a
paint brush apply two coats of white
varnish, rub down with sandpaper,
oil with flannel cloth and rub until
there is a good polish.

TP n the far days the animals wore
coats of different hues and colors;
III some had long tails and some had
short ones, some had horns and
some had none. but most Of them were
very different from what we find them
today. Much disputng there was as to
who had the most beautiful coat. and
at last it was decided to call a great
council Of all the animals TO decide up
on this important question.
Now. the home Of the Otter was far
up the river in the north country, and
IL had been a long time since any one
had seen him. so long that only the
oldest members OF the tribe could re-
member him. but they told such Won
derful stories about his coat Of beauti-
full brown fur that there was little
doubt i'm the minds of the others who
would finally receive the prize.
This vexed the Rabbit very much, for
he was a vain and boastful fellow and
liked to be first I'm all things. so he de.
termined If possible to, steal the beau
tlful coat OF the otter Gctore he reached
the council place and so win for him
self the prize So he stole away from
his companions and started out on the
trail to the north country to meet the
Otter -Four days journey from the
council place he met blrJ.
"What do you here, my brother" the
otter inquired.
Il come from my brothers at the

5rooms and Brushes.

The economy of brushes is quite
worth studying in an average house
hold, as they quickly mount up to a
heavy item in the years expenditure.
For instance, a scrubbing brush that
is left to soak in a bucket quickly
rots. Sweeping brooms should never
touch the floor except when in ac-
tual use. Dusting brooms which are
suspended by a string from the ham
die should always be hung up after
use and washed in soapsuds directly
they are dirty.
