CUNNING OF THE FOX.
Its skill When Running For Life
From the Hounds.

lts skill When Running For Life
From the Hounds.
No other still hunter can travel 80
quietly as a fox, and mighty few men
are as crafty as the four legged hunter
when it comes to matter of getting
meat. Foxes have been seen in Eng
land slipping from bush to bush, crawl
ing and creeping after feeding hare,
for all the world like man stalking a
deer. The fox cannot catch a rabbit in
q fair chase, but its food is mostly rab-
bits in spite Of their fleetness. But at
no time does it display Its skill SO we'll
as when running for life with pack
Of hounds on its trail.
CLAUS Magnus, archbishop of Upsala,
wrote book called Historic de Cent?
bus Septentrionalibus," of which an
English translation exists. This book
tells of fox that leaped from back to
back Of herd Of goats. AS the dogs
could not follow, the fox escaped.
A curious trick of English foxes is to
jump as high as possible, grasping a
tree branch with their teeth, hold on
till the hounds have gone on and then,
dropping to the ground, escape. This is
similar to the trick Of the American
fox which jumps into a tree and
rests on branch, but American dogs
are not such fools as English dogs.
They gather around the tree and howl
till the hunter comes.

The Tumbleweed.

Tumbleweeds spread themselves in
4 wholesale fashion. Instead of send
ing the separate seeds out into the
world with wings or hairs to carry
them, the whole plant breaks off near
the root, when these are ripe, and
goes rolling along the ground before
the wind. The bare, sun scorched des-
erts of the great west produce several
tumbleweeds, and there are some in
the prairie region. 1t is natural that
they should be most abundant where
there are no hills or trees to stop
them In their course. But we have one
tumbleweed in the east-the old witch
grass. SO called, maybe, because it rides
the wind like an old beldame. In Sep
TENDER this grass spreads its head or
panicle, with hairlike, purple branches,
in every sandy field. When the seeds
are ripe the plants are blown across
the field, often piling up in masses
along fences and hedgerows. As might
be expected, the hair grass, which has
20 effective way Of spreading itself,
10 found throughout the United States
from ocean to ocean.

Turned the Tables.

Alexandra Dumas one day found in
his mail letter from French count
suggesting collaboration in the writing
Of drama, Dumas to get the Pc
cuniary benefits and the count to share
in the glory. The author sent the fol-
lowing answer: 'Sir, I am not in
the habit Of Harvesting horse and an
ass to my carriage. I regret, therefore,
that I cannot accept your amiable
proposition" The count, In his turn,
wrote: "Sir, your note refusing to
join me in literary work Is at hand. OF
course you are at perfect liberty to
refuse 80 advantageous an offer, but
forbid your calling me horse in the
future"

4 QUEER EXCAVATION.
TIE ssDar q Dioaysi.s. ana It's Pc
culiar Use.

C0l1ar Use.
The most remarkable artificial cav.
ern or excavation ever made was that
which has been recorded in history as
the Ear Of pionysius." This queer
excavation, which was adjoining the
Quarries near Syracuse. Sicily, was
constructed by the slaves Of the mon
arch by whose name it is known. In
reality 1t was an exact model Of a
gigantic human ear, $50 feet long by
80 high, and was SO scientifically con-
structed that the interior Of the grotto
became the finest whispering gallery
the world has ever known. In cave
adjoining this acoustic wonder the
prisoners Of the tyrant were kept,
and every word they uttered came
through an orifice to the internal
ear" where Dionysius passed whole
days listening to the plots that were
being laid by the enemies of his gov
eminent. The prisoners were, of
course, chained in that portion Of
the underground dungeon most ia
vorable for reflection of all sounds to
the secret chamber. BY this admira-
BILE system of espionage Dionysius
managed to thwart every conspiracy
against his government which rose
during his thirty-nine years reign.
The ''ear," the prison dungeons and
even the staples of iron in the floors
to which prisoners were chained may
still be seen. 1t is said that the tyrant
put to death the architect Of the lear"
and the slaves who excavated it in
order that its purpose might never be
known.

Building and Loan Association,
PEMBINA. N. d.

Loans money on good Pembina County
real estate. Every borrower is a share
holder and participate in the profits the
same as the investor. Every dollar paid
in pays part of the debt and is also placed
at interest for the benefit of the share
holders. From experience it is found that
from 1O6 to LIS monthly payments pays the
pridcipal and interest on any sum borrow
ed. Monthly payments are SO cents per
share and 81 per hundred of sum borrowed.
No bonus. This form of borrowing money
is especially convenient and profitable to
wage earners and salaried men who want
to own their own homes. The monthly
form of rent" buys the home.

eyes, held her breath, and threw the boot as far
she could.
Lucy had never cultivated the art of throw
ing; it against Miss Rebecca's principles for
a female Bates to cultivate any art that was not
strictly feminine and lady-ke; hence Miss Lucy
had a most imperfect knowledge of the amount
of force required to project an object given
distance, and it was certainly not through any
design of hers that the boot and it's ghastly
burden alighted, with a soft thud in the tall
rushes on the opposite shore of the stream. The
"thud" and the fact alike lost upon Miss
Jane for as the boot left Lucy's hand, she turned
and fled precipatately to the house, fully per-
suaded that she had consigned the lfeess remains
of the pet to the chill sepulture of the ''crick'
As she ran, her thin lips quivered and tears
rolled down James face. When she was safe inside
her own room the conviction that possessed
her burst again into words:

was beating in upon her and soaking the sleeves
of her print gown. She closed the sash and drew
the curtains and, cropping for matches, lighted the
lamp Then she began taking the hairpins out
of the hard little knot of hair at the back of her
head. The thought crossed her mind that she
had never had enough of anything the tends to
make life beautiful and desirable, not even hair.
"But if | had ever so much / reckon Becky
wouldn't let me do nothin' with it" she muttered
with pathetic little sigh of resignation.
But though her hair was not abundant it was
soft and wavy, and she brushed it she recol-
lected how little Dick Swveller had delighted
to play with it whenever he had found it stray
ing unconfined over her pillow
Dear little thing, he knowed there
wasn't enough of it," she thought. Again her
eyes overhowed, and she fell on her knees by
the bed and sobbed.
But suddenly she flung up her head and choked

ering rejoinder. Some moments of silence en-.
sued, during which the unfortunate kitten grad
ualy succumbed to the powerful drug, and all
sign of life and motion ceased within the boot.
There, now, he's dead as door-nal," an
nounced Miss Rebecca, conclusively. "Chuck i'm
in the crick, Jane boot an all; I'll never wear
it again."
Nancy" quavered Miss Jane, would you
let little Lucy do it?
yes, but you ought to be made to do it your
self, Jane"
And Lucy did it, She took up the dreadful
boot with gingerly touch and went slowly out,
through the door-yard and across the county road,
to where the creek rippled and glinted in the
red light of the low afternoon sun. She gazed
into the swift water and -shivered She shut her

uOlng IL.
This woman covers her face with LAYER of
skin food. She makes this herself from a south
ern prescription, which in its day was famous
throughout the South as the Maryland beauty
cream. This she spreads upon her skin And
over this she places layer of powder, the more
the better. Thus protected behind the coating
of powder, she goes out to auto No sun trou,
bles her skin and she comes home as clear of
freckles ever she went forth.
But for pedestrian purposes few ladies care to
fresco themselves in this style. So the layer of
beauty cream is put on thinly. And oyer this
there is delicate layer of powder, not enough
to be visible.
The woman who seldom uses powder in the
day time and who never goes into the street
with it on her face comfort herself with the
thought that il will soon blow off. There was
never face powder made which would SHOW"
after good April breeze had swept over it. and
there are very few face powders in these days
that are visible to the naked eye at all
The art OF making face powders has progressed
the last decade and powders now come to match
every complexion They are used by the very
best people and no lady need hesitate to indulge
in them. They are, in the language of the day,
all right.
Now, a yellow girl is not always admired in
this part OF the world, and the girl who desires
to change back to peaches and cream must treat
that skin in practical fashion.

"If it amt murder, I'd like to know why II

She sat down by her window, and the hands
that had been wont to caress little Dick Swivel
Ter now lay empty and idle in her lap. She saw
the sun 20 down behind bank of purple clouds;
saw the clouds gradually rise and spread over the
armament, and stormy night close in. Still
she sat on, gazing out into the fast-gathering
blackness aud finding it fitting background
for visions of her meagre, miserable life, past,
present and prospective.
II spose l can't never have another kitten,
she said to herself, brokenly. Becky won't let
me. Oh it seems as if ! don't want to live If
can't have nothin' to-to-ove."
1t had been dark nearly an hour before she
finally aroused to the consciousness that the rain

HOW TO MAKE BouILLoN

@0OUILLON proper is always beef broth
n prepared from boiled beef with vege-
@ tables and herbs to season. As neither
tk5F8@ meat nor vegetables are boiled longer
than necessary to cook them, an extra
allowance of bone and griste are add
ed, in order to get much gelatine as possible.
To make boullon for serving eight persons, allow
five pounds of good fresh beef from the middle
of the leg, two pounds of bone, two quarts and
a half of cold water, heaping teaspoonful of
salt, small bunch of kitchen herbs, two cloves,
two peppercorns, one onion, one stick of celery,
or teaspoonful of celery salt, small carrot,
and half turnip. If you can get one of the
little spice bags that come already prepared you
can omit the seasoning spices and herbs, substi-
tutng the bag. Have the butcher crush the
bones with his eleaver, then lay them in the pot
first. Wipe off the meat and cut in small
pieces removing all the fat. Lay the meat on
the bones and pour the cold water over them,
add the salt and place on the range where it
will come very slowly to boil Remove the
scum as it rises and if the liquor boils too fast
pour in a small cupful Of cold water to check
the boiling and make the scum rise. Repeat this
twice. Now add the seasoning herbs and sliced
vegetables, and simmer gently, not boil, for
three or four hours. Remove the vegetables and
herbs before they boil TO rags, but leave the
meat in the pot until the end of the process
During this slow cooking the soup should boil
down TO three and half pnts. Strain pour
into a perfectly clean vessel and set away un-
covered to cool. When cold remove the fat.
When ready to serve, heat and serve in cups.
