Hunting Muskrats ut Night.
There are three ways by which musk
rats are captured-by shooting, Ivy trap
ping and by spearing. A few may be
secured at night by creeping as noise
lessly as possible along the creek edges
and watching for them to crawl up on
the bank to feed. In this they are very
dainty. Having secured favorite
root, they approach cautiously the wa
ters edge and dip it In and rub off the
mud, dip it in again and again until 1t

Origin Of the Four Post Dedstend.
In medieval times, when life was
very insecure, 1t was usual for people
to sleep on a bed which was surround
ed by sides of boards With strong posts
at the four corners. These sides con-
tained sliding doors, which could be
fastened inside. When men retired to
rest they took weapon with them. If
attacked In the night they were arous-
ed by the noise made by the crashing
In Of their wooden defenses and were
able to defend themselves When the
law became strong enough to protect
human life the sides Of the bedstead
were gradually dispensed with. but the
four posts remained. The boxlike bed
stead still survives in the rural parts
Of Scotland and is almost necessary

ceilings cause much damp Emily

One day an army surgeon was dress

been shot in the neck near the carotid

thrust his finger into the hole to stop
the flow.

1T means DEATH" said the surgeon
calmly.
"How long can l live?' asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly

doctor.
The soldier asked for pen and paper,
