This wastes the bulb. but develops the

MuskRAT BUILDERS.


The Rouse In the Meadow ana mOw

] have always been told that musk
rat houses mean severe winter. In
stead OF sign of cold weather. the
muskrat house means simply that one
Or more muskrats have chosen to live
In The low meadow or at the shallow
head OF the pond, where mere 10 ne
chance to burrow underground and
have q bedroom that cannot be Aooded
OF the high tides OF winter
These same muskrats. along the steep
banks OF a river. would tunnel into the
earth and there dig bedroom out Of
reach OF the highest food. They 10 not
always succeeed. however, as they are
often washed out OF their winter beds
by spring freshets.
The house in the meadow is usually
built over u tall, stout tussock, whose
grassy top forms the bed. This Is dom
ed over, making large room big
enough for one or for half q dozen, ac-
cording to the number of muskrats
sharing the work. At leas3 two open
Inws Tor dives lead from the bed int
open water at the feot Of the tussoek.
And this water never freezes. When
ice forms outside, the warmth Of the
muskrats' bodies is sufficient to keep
the doors free, through which the
dwelIers shoot at instant alarm, for
these passages lead into winding bur
rows and waterways that run far out
through the rich, rooty meadow.-Coun-

The name parliament" Is derived
from the French word "parler," to
speak. The word was originally writ
ten 'parlement." as in French, and.
although the spelling has gradually
changed, the pronunciation remains the
same. The earliest mention of the
word parliament in the English stat
utes il in the preamble to the statute
Of Westminster in 1872. For the origin
of the institution itself we must go
back to Anglo-Saxon times, when 1t
fiourished as the witenagemot. In the
reign of Henry Ill. parliament was
formally separated into, the two houses
Of lords and commons, and the delibera-

TWO REGIMENTS,
WELL OFFICERED
IN THE DISGUISE OF LABoRERs
FROM JAPAN, REPORTED TO
BE IN HAWAII.

HONOLULU, Dec. Fit Is stated
here, and has been reported to the
United States Government at Wash
ington. that two regiments of Japan
csc, completely officered, are in Hon
olulu, disguised as laborers. Whether
they are armed is not known.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1.-THE
Bourse Gazette, one of the most re-
sponsible journals in Russia, today
coatains a carefully written leading
article advocating a raprochement
between the United States and Russia
to safeguard the interests of both
powers in the Far East, which. the pa
per says, are now threatened by Jap
an. The Bourse Gazette remarks:
Contemporary Europe has no
ground on which a combination OF
powers for the maintenance of peace
in the Far East Is possible, but Rus
STA and the United States are able to
join hands for this purpose. They
have no old scores 10 settle. Their
ancient friendship is only temporarily
impaired owing to the mistakes Of the
former regime. A Russo-American
rapprochement, which is historically
necessary, would check the Asiatic
storm which is again moving towards
the Western World
This In no way implies war with
Japan. On the contrary, so soon as
the understanding takes definite form
it will guarantee the stability OF, peace
In the Far East"
The Bourse Gazette says 1t finds
that the chief source of Japanese
Chauvinism is now shown In the ne
gotiations OF the Toxic Government
with the Government at Washington
and st. Petersburg to be the utter
bankruptcy of the moral prestige OF
the West in Japanese eyes. owing to
Japan's easy defeat of Russia and the
discovery that the solidarity of the
Western peoples In the work of peace
full development Is an empty sound"
The Novce Vremya and Reche and
Slovo also devote leading editorial ar
ticles in the most apprehensive tone
to the Japanese question.
