of the humorist and, coming down to

THE PORCUPINE.
He Is Noted Chiefly For His Slug
gishness and Stupidity.

New York Post.
The porcupine can hardly be said
to have home, but lc uses a hollow
tree as a tenement. or even a hole
among the rocks. AS warm weather
approaches the female produces two
or three young, which are of amaz-
ing size at birth, actually larger than
the newborn cubs Of bear.
Their flesh is eaten by the Indians,
but has never been liked by white
men. The use of the quills in orna-
mentations by our Indians is we'll
known, robes, garments, moccasins,
pouches, weapon cases, baskets and
everything else being 'ornamented
with them by the squaws with great
skill and often with truly artistic ef-
feet; but, as usual, the earliest meth
DDS and patterns, when the Indians
used their own delicate dyes and sew
ing threads were better than arc
seen in these days of aniline colors
and crude limitations of the white
mans art. The longer quills of the
European porcupine are turned into
fancy penholders, and in India and
Malaga they weave little baskets, ETC.,
out of them, which are often as pref
ty as they are strange.
Reviewing his narrow life, the
strongest impression left upon one S
mind seems to be that of the crca-
ture's sluggishness and stupidity
These are perhaps concomitants, if
not consequences, Of it's strictly veg

and q can win every trick, In spite
of any possible defense or variation by
A and B. How do they do it?
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS
The following are the solutions to
the problems published in lesson
No. %:
The declaration will be recognized
as the same cards as those given today
at another score. At the score Of love-
all the dealer cannot very well pass
the make, because there is no hope that
dummy can do any better, as he is
probably too weak in the red suits TO
go no-trumps. If the dealer calls dia-
monds when he is 10 up he will prob
ably stop at Is, so it is better to risk
the heart call in the hope of getting to
IS. If dummy's answer is good enough
to make two by cards it is even better
to reach 26 up than to stop at %.
The best play of hand No IT is for
dummy to win the first trick with the
ace, because there is no necessity to
play a Bath coup when the jack is in
the dummy and guarded. Then lead a
club from dummy and make no attempt
to win it, no matter what second hand
plays. All the adversaries can possibly
make after that club trick is the ace of
diamonds and the queen Of hearts, un-
less there are four clubs in one hand
The solution of problem No. II is for
other trump. On this trick Y discards
the king of spades, which forces B to
throw away the ace of spades. This
