Varieties of Hay Fever.

fair reader informs us that she
cannot accept our advice to wear
rose when in Portland. because OF the
fact that there is a distinct variety
of hay fever which Is produced by the
odor of the roses" 1t appears that
there are almost as many varieties of
hay fever produced by timothy, the
variety produced by clover, the sort
produced by millet, the alfalfa variety
and the common prairie grass kind.
The tall-grass hay fever is said TO
possess the best staying qualities.
But most popular of all brands of hay
fever is just hay feyer-which gives
the victim an excuse for going to a
northern lake for a months vacation
every year We shall be deeply dis
tressed If the rose is to invade the
precincts hitherto sacred TO horse
feed, and set up in the business Of
producing La France hay fever.

How Porcupine Fights.

A dog never attacks a porcupine hu
once. If he survives, the lesson IS
enough to make him wise in the way
Of porcupines ever after.
Ordinarily and when at ease, the
quilts and hoary hair OF the porcupine
lie fiat upon his back, but when an
gered he bristles up, and every part
of him even to his toes and the tip
of his nose is protected by the arma-
ment of sharp quilts His plan OF
fighting is wholly on the defensive,
and so destructive is his veritable
bayonet line TO the attacking foe that
even the bear the panther and the
lynx will not modest him.
That is why the porcuplne knows
no fear, and why he comes abruptly
into camp and calmly investigates
things. He has yet to learn that
man and his unerring rifle are far
more deadly than even barbed anu
poisonous quills.-Los Angeles Times

A jumping hog afforded much
amusement in the hog yards at the
stock yards day before yesterday. Al
though the animal weighed $50 pounds
it would jump board fences five feet
high.
The Spectator who bought the hog
found it impossible to confine it to

with boards. According to men who
have been at the hog yard for years,
this was the first hog that had ever
leaped fence there.-Kansas City
