HedSehoE Fears No Snake.

An interesting fact about hedgehogs
that perhaps not many persons know is
that the bites Of even the most poison
GUS serpents have no effect on them
whatever. NJ. LEM, a naturalist, once
watched a fight between a hedgehog
and viper and gives a most interest
ing description of it. He says that
when the hedgehog came near the
snake she began to smell it, for the
sight Of these animals is so poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense of smell, and then she seized
its head with her teeth.
In a moment the snake had freed
itself, and, darting at the hedgehog, bit
it several times, but the little animal
did not seem to mind the bites at all,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized its head,
which she ground between her teeth,
poisonous fangs and all. Then she de-
voured almost the whole Of its body.
NJ. LEM also tells Of pet hedgehog
that he kept in his house in q large
box.
Several times he put some adders
into the box, which the hedgehog did
not seem to fear at all, but attacked
them fercely, and, as in the case of
the other, was never in the least af-
fected by their poisonous bites.
A man who has had a pet hedgehog
in his possession for long time says
that he had often seen it throw itself
off the top Of a wall fourteen feet In
height. Without pausing a moment it
would contract itself into soft. fluffy
ball and fall to the ground so lightly
that almost Immediately it would un.
fold itself and run off.

MEXICO is LEARNING.

The American Way of Living II
Taking a Deep Hold on People.
The study Of English is compulsory
In the Mexican public schools. Every
year Mexico sends to the United
States a number Of school teachers to
study American pedagogic methods,
says Edward McConley in the Ameri-
can Monthly Review, Of Reviews.
great many Mexican children are be-
leges Of this country, where formerly
they were sent to Europe. The num-
Der Of Mexican visitors to the United
States and the number of American
visitors to Mexico is increasing every
year. It is said that Yucatecans know
New York better than the City Of Mex
leo and that west-coast MeXicans are
more at home in San Francisco than in
their own capital city. Thus, each
year the American way Of living is
taking a deeper hold on the Mexican
people.
The Vice President of Mexico and
announced successor Of President
Diaz is very much Americanized in
his ideas. In fact, he might easily be
mistaken for a plain, shrewd American
business man from his appearance,
manner and methods. He has always
been exceedingly friendly toward
Americans. AS Governor Of the State
OF Sonora, he encouraged them to in
vest In enterprises in his State and to
settle therein. He spared no effort in
seeing that their lives, property and
civil rights were protected. He is well
Informed about the United States and
Is q student Of English. He has three
daughters in school at San Francisco
and is educating all of his children in
the United States.

thinks that farm boys and farm girls should be
taught that when they through with the common
schools they will be qualified to make country homes,
and not by their very training be biased toward town
life The fact is that the ordinary school does
comparatively exalt trade and manufacturing
pared with land culture. The children receive in
formation whatever concerning animals and plants,
concerning soils and fertilizers they taught the
relation that in country life should exist between the
true, the beautiful and the useful.
Superintendent Joyner, of North Carolina insists that
agriculture should be taught just history is taught

masters it. He thinks the application will later.
Pupils will become keenly interested in matters that
touch everyday home life. Then he would have sup

with-not go ahead blindly, but make at every
point For instance he finds in his experiments that cab
bage seed terminates at 80 per cent ratio clover at
rs per cent ratio, while blue grass has percentage
Of termination as low As. His object is to teach
child accuracy in all matters pertaining to agriculture;
but accuracy is nothing less than science
Gilbert Hubbard emphasizes the necessity Of rad
ical change in the division Of school work To teach
agriculture wisely requires good deal Of outdoor app
cation. Recently showed what Iowa had undertake
with her normal schools-that is, a certain amount
of garden work and field work for incpen teachers
that they will be qualified to teach nature studies in the

There is really good reason why boys and girls
should be shut UP all day inside school

their muscles. There is why half of this time
should be spent out Of doors in the application Of
the lessons learned These may be lessons in enomol-

bard adds: Suppose we quit talking about war; and

st. Petersburg dispatches say that
through the disappearance Of the jour
nalist, Matushensky, the press agent
and real brains of the Father Gapon
movement, the disclosure has been
made that the moderate labor OrganiZa-
ton, which Gapon established in st.
Petersburg after the publication of the
imperial manifesto of Oct. 80. 1905, was
subsidized by the government. Russian
officials supplied the funds for the rent
Of its clubhouse and literature.
Radical circles are elated over the
revelation, which was made in an open
letter by the president Of the PutilOff
section of the organization, complain
ing that $4,000 of the funds furnished

minister of commerce. had not reached
the treasury. The socialists claim that
this spells the downfall of the conserv-
ative opposition to the full revolution
airy program among the workmen.
1t is now shown that GapOn really
played Il minor role in the formidable
movement of January, 1905. and that
Matushensky was the director of the
campaign which mystified both the po-
lice and the Old-time revolutionists.

in Place of Residence.
Divorce colonies were given a severe
Jolt by the congress on uniform divorce
laws in Washington, which decided by a
considerable majority that not less than
two years residence should be required
of plaintiff who has changed his or her
State domicile since the cause of divorce
arose. Another resolution reported by
the committee on resolutions, which was
adopted after a warm discussion, pro-
vides:
IAN innocent and injured party, hus-
band or wife. seeking a divorce should
not be compelled to ask for a dissolution
of the bonds of matrimony, but should
be allowed, at his or her option, to apply
for divorce from bed and board. There
fore divorces mensa should be retained
where already existing and provided for
in States where no such rights exist"
The congress also expressed itself in
favor of hearing all divorce cases in open
court and not before any delegated repre-
sentative holding that publicity would
tend to do away with collision and to de-
crease the number of suits. Other reso-
lutions adopted provide for the classifi-
cation of causes for divorce into groups
that would be accepted by the several
States; declare that when conviction for
crime is made a cause for divorce it
should involve two years continuous i'm
prisonment; that no decree should be
given for insanity arising after marriage,
nor for desertion unless persisted in for
two years; that defendants in suits
should be given full and fair notice, and
that anyone named as a correspondent
should in all cases be given an opportu
nifty to intervene.

myself to school work with any degree
of satisfaction. l tried different medi-
cines and food preparations but did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.

MY sisters health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her mu-
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
1 had. Then my brother, Frank, who
is in the postoffice department at Wash
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods, cakes and
all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army.
I showed him what it was and could

Only Three OF This Breed of An

Only Three of This Breed of An
CORA Dogs in America.
Although the dog aristocrats are sup
posed to have representation in the
New York and Boston dog shows, there
is one species which is never represent
ed, because the species is so rare. This
is the Angora collie, and there are only
three of the dogs in this country. DIR.
e. G. SwitZer, Of Springfield, Mass,
owns one of the animals, and the other
two are in Newburyport, Mass, says
the New York Herald.
The peculiar characteristic of the
dog is that while it has all the marks
Of a typical collie, it weighs about six
pounds instead Of the thirty or more
which the collie ordinarily weighs. It
has the feathering on the legs and in
the ears and it's head is broad and in
telligent, but here all resemblance to
the well-known breed ends, for it is a
dainty, graceful dog, with all the pref
ty ways Of small dog.
DIR. SwitZer's dog is named Spider
and her father and mother were
brought to this country from Spain and
taken to Newburyport, and now the
mother and her two children, Toudie
and Spider, are the only representa-
tives Of the breed in this country.
Spider has an unusually broad head,
big, intelligent eyes with spots of brown
around them, brown markings on back
and sides, slender, graceful legs, and a
coat which is cleaning white except
for the marks Of brown.
The little dog is extremely affection
ate, loves to be cuddled. and makes an
excellent ladies' dog, but she is no toy,
for she has dauntless courage and
pluck and is always ready to defend
her rights.
