HOW WEASELS HUNT.
The Graceful Pose of the Animals
When on the Trail.

The 1.-the grace of the weasel may
be observed whenever it is on the trail
At an even speed, with nose to the
ground, its reddish brown back seems
literally to glide along through the rank
hcrbaSe by the bank.
1t may be the scent of a rat, and the
trail may take it in and out of the
bank good many times before it
comes up with it's victim. 1t may even
have to swim a stream before its per-
sstence is rewarded. 1t is wonderful
how small hole that long. arched
body can glide into and emerge from
without the slightest difficulty.
When it has caught and killed its
prey its movements are equally grace
full as it carries the spoil home to- it's
hole. Crossing a Kentish field saw a
weasel coming along under the hedge
row red t00thed from the chase. There
was the same sinuOus motion of the
back, but the little beasts head was
held as high as possible and from its
mouth hung the limp carcass of a
young rat, freshly killed. The weasel
held it by the neck and so high, for all
the shortness of its legs, that only the
cId of the rats tail dragged through
tic grass.
\ family of weasels will often hunt
in company, and this is naturally a
most interesting sight to witness. The
ability of the weasel to enter exceed
ingly small holes is owing entirely to
the structure of its bOdy-its fiat head
long neck and short limbs and tail. IL
Il cornrick it can pursue mice with ease
| along their burrows.-LOndOn Mail

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing en- Size


The Salvelinus fontinalis, which is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years
to be a small fish. AgassiZ was
largely instrumental in exploding this
fallacy. 1t is not an uncommon thing
for an angler with ordinary luck to
get a six or seven pound trout of this
variety. 1t is known that a TROUT may
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds.
There is, however, great difficulty in
accounting for its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fingerlingS have ever been found. In
the immediate vicinity of such waters
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders.
At some places. it is true, frogs abound,
but taken as whole the difference in
food supply is not an adequate eX-
planation for the difference in growth.
There IS no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size,
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same The small trout taken
to virgin lakes in which there are no
fish have sometimes grown to a great
size, have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriven. The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not yet found a satisfactory explana-
tion of this peculiar condition of things.
1t is one of the mysteries which lends
fascination to the art You never can
tell what is going to happen when you

Long XVnrdn or shorts

Which shall we prefer in speech and
writing? Almost everybody will vote
for the short word, and almost every
body will be voting for the best can
didate. The short words are usually
the strong words. They make up in
muscle and Iveliness what they lack in
size, says the Manchester Union. And
they are readily in the eyes of men
who have thoughts that they wish to
lodge in other minds. a man who
should run out into the street and yell
'Conflagration! Coniagration! Con
fagrationr' when his house was burn
ing would be thought to be making a
jest of the affair. And so in all mat
ters where ideas are to be handed out
quickly and clearly-the short word
has first choice.

LIVING ON AN ACRE.
How 1t Would Help the Man of Fam
ilS and Little Money.

A family, with Il modest house sur
rounded by an acre of good soil, even
where the work has to be performed
by members of the family who are oc-
cupied during the long hours of the
day at various occupations, will pro-
duce almost everything used in the
family. An acre of ground thoroughly
we'll cultivated, with a little chicken
yard as an adjunct, will reduce in a
very material way the expenses of the
family
OF course acre lots are impossible in
side of the city limits or even very
close to the city limits. The person
seeking so large a lot must go to a
considerable distance from the busi-
ness center. but the extension of cleo
trio lines enables even working people
to live at considerable distance from
their place of employment. \ man
who earns $3.50 to twice that sum
day and who has family consisting of
a number of children often finds some
difficulty in bringing them up properly
and giving them the kind of an educa-
ton he would wish. Such an invest
ment as this, saving rent of say $50
month and yielding eggs and all kinds
of vegetables as we'll as considerable
of the fruit that goes to make up the
daily ration of each member of the
family, will make his struggle in life
much lighter. man who has such a
stake in the country will be in every
way a better citizen than the one who
spends his weeks earnings as soon as
they come into his hand, if not a week
before they are carmel.
Varied occupation exceeds all other
processes in drawing out whatever of
ability man possesses. Here lies the
advantage to the community-one su-
periOr to all economic gain-Of the sub
urban acre lot for the home of the city
wage Garner The cultivation of that
acre in alienation with his other en-
pOyment will bring him intellectual
and spiritual enlargement, while ii

some surroundings in which to bring
up his family.-Maxwelr Talisman.

CockGghtinr Among the Greeks.

The sport of cOckfighting seems to
have originated with Themistocles of
Greece. When he was leading an army
against the Persians lie noted two
cocks in a desperate battle. TO stim-
ulate the courage of his soldiers he
pointed out the bravery of birds, and,
having won his battle with the Per
slams, he ordered that an annual cock
fight should be held to celebrate his
victory. In England the records show
that the first cOckfght took place in
1871.
To take for granted as truth all that
is alleged against the fame of others

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stOmachS by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alcO-
holic beverages. or by too close cOnfine-
ment to home, Office or factory. and|in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people. in fact in every weary,
thin and thin -blOoded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what Is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
OF obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherry bark
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in

is bankrupt vitality such as nervous

WOULD BAR NEGROES
TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE WANTS
TO EXCLUDE THEM FROM ARMY.

Representative Slayden of Texas today In
PRODUCED a bill which provides that ION or
before the 30th day of June. 1907 all en-
listed men of the army who are negroes or
Of negro descent shall be discharged from
the service of the United States, and there
after no negro or person of negro descent
shall be enlisted or appointed in the army
of the United States
In explaining his bill Mr.. Slayden said:
1.-The bill speaks for itself. 1t was not in
troduced for buncombe. My purpose is to
give the Congress OF the United States an
opportunity to purge the army of an ad-
mitted'y dangerous element. To say that
the negroes are brave is not an argument
against this measure. Many men have been
brave. in fact most men are in the matter
of fighting. The Comaachc and Sioux In
dlans were as brave as men can be. But
one would seriously suggest that we ulti-
mately recruit regiments from them, put
guns in their hands and station them near
companies of white troops, toward whom
they entertain inherent race hostility. The
18th Infantry is manifestly imbued with
the same race hostility, and events have
shown il to be quite dangerous as the
Sioux or Comanche would be-.

PENSION LEGISLATION.
Questions That Will Be Taken Up by
the Senate Committee.

Senator McCumber. chairman of the COM
mittee on pensions, expects to have a meet
ing of his committee before the holidays at
be taken up. The first of these relates to
pensions Of widows of higher officers of the
army and navy and the second to pensions
for service in state militia in service during
the civil war.
In respect to bills before the committee
giving pensions to widows of officers, the
committee will lay down some general rules
applying to cases in which such widows
have Consderab BILE means. Senator McCum-
Der and some other members of the COM
mittee believe that where the widows OF
such officers have a considerable estate no
bill for their relief should be passed Among
the cases before the committee is that of
the widow of Senator Hawley. a bill to
pension her at the rate of 500 a month
being pending. 1t is said that Mrs Haw
ley is worth 100000 more and a general
rule is to be determined upon which Will
include this case. Gen. Hawley's personal
popularity in the Senate is likely to have
considerable influence with the vote of the
committee and If the pension is allowed to
his widow II Will carry all the other bills to
pension widows of officers that are pending.
The committee has found considerable
difficulty in securing relia BILE records to per-
init them to decide cases upon which PEN
sions are asked for survivors of state mill
tia that are said to have been engaged dur
ing the civil war. The records of such mi
litia are beclouded in many instances SO
that II is difficult to secure reliable data in
order to pass upon the bills in the Senate.
The committee will endeavor to arrive at
an understanding as to the manner in which
all such cases are to be dealt with.
