Mr.. Millais tells how rabbits swim
when compelled to- "They swim with
the head held as high as possible, while
the hooks of the hind legs appear above
he element at each stroke. The shoul-
ders and front part of the body are
buried beneath the water, while the
rump and tail are high and dry"
Natural enemies Of the animal world
are sometimes found living together In
extraordinary communities. The same
writer quotes this experience of an OBJ
server: "On one occasion when ferret
ing | bolted a fox, cat, a stoat and
several rabbits and rats out of the
same earth. The fox bolted first. after
giving the ferret nip across the back,
from the effects of which 1t died an
hour later. Next came the stoat and
then the cat, both Of which l shot Then
followed the rabbits and rats promis-
cuously. 1t was a large burrow on
the bank of deep dry watercourse,
and often held fox when l ferreted

Interesting figures on the relative
agility Of hares and rabbits are given
In recent volume by J. G. Millais.

Its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet,

before him and the policeman made a
charge.

"Yes, your honor" admitted the pris-
oner.

trate.
"No," was the reply.
"Then what excuse do you have?"
demanded the court, mechanically
signing the commitment paper.
A litter ran over the audience and
the magistrate came to with a start,
glanclng apprehensively at the report
ers. When court was adjourned, con-
trary to his usual custom, he called
the newspaper men before him.

The magistrate looked relieved

A Warrior. Too.

The wooden boards that had marked
the graves in certain rural cemetery
rotted off, and were raked up in the
spring cleaning; consequently, on Me-
mortal day, when the delegation from
the G.. A. r. arrived with flags and
appropriate floral decorations for their
departed comrades, the decorating COM
mittee found itself somewhat In doubt
as to which grave belonged to Captain
Blodgett and which to Hannah Ericsson.
The mistaken delegates heaped their
offerings upon Hannah's last resting
place, and departed. That afternoon
Ericsson, the widower, drifted, with the
rest of his world, to the cemetery.
When he saw the flag and the flowers
above Hannah, the astonished Swede
fell to chuckling joyously.
"Vell," he explained, delightedly,
"dose faller bane pooty smart, too! Az

course of his coin business he met a

MIR. Brown Learns Something About
Their Household Uses.
Say, mother" said Letitia Brown,
we won't have any more sait bags
will we?"
"'No more salt bazsY" said Mr..
Brown to himself, having by chance
overheard Letitia's remark. 1t took
but little questioning to bring out In
formation on these points, and incl
dentally there was ELECTED other bag
Information, which, to Mr.. Brown. was
even more interesting.
Salt bags, 1t seems, are, In many
households, when empty, washed out
and used as dish cloths. But the
Brown family has given up housekeep-
Ing and gone to boarding; It retains
Its apartment, just the same, but takes
It's meals In neighborlng good board
Ing house. So naturally, they wouldn't
be buying any more salt.
Then Mrs. Brown said that, any.
how, they hadn't been using salt bags
for some time, because lately, while
salt Is still put up in bags, they had
been buying salt put up in wooden
or In pasteboard boxes. They'd been
making their dish cloths lately. she
said, out of sugar bags. Sugar, 1t
appears, once never so put up, Is now
quite commonly sold in bags
Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned an
other use Of salt bags that was new
even to Letitia, who knew something
about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that
once they had servant who used to
take the salt bags when they were
emptied and open them out and wash
the marks out of them, and then for
economys sake have them for hand.
kerchiefs for her little brother.
And yet there remained the fact,
mildly bewailed by Letitia, that there
would be mo more salt bags" for dish
cloths. Here Mr.. Brown wanted to
say to Lefty, "Well, what of it? Not
housekeeping any more, we shan't have
any dishes to wash and we shan't want
any dish cloths, salt bag or sugar
bag" But ne didn't say these things,
for he didn't want to hurt Letitio's
feelings by showing her how little she
looked ahead, nor did he want to make
her feel worse by showing her how
much more logical his mind. He said
nothing, but just kept these things to
himself, but not without his usual mod.

There arrived In London last even
ing an aged man named Mark All who
has been wandering for the last six
years.
Mark All is an engineer by trade
and he set out from Fleet street on
Aug. 6, 1900, with the object Of walk
ing 10000 miles in seven years. The
idea of the enterprise was to disprove
theory, which All attributes to engi-
neering employers. that after a man
has reached 45 years of age he is use
less for manual labor.
Some gentlemen who were desirous
of disproving this theory agreed to
pay All $500 IL he could walk 10000
miles In seven years, earning his liv-
ing at his trade, and that he shall
not beg, sell photographs Of himself or
pictures post cards, make speeches or
exhibit himself at music halls. All
these conditions, he says, he has faith
fully observed. He has been all over
the three Kingdoms and has visited
France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland, Italy and Germany, but failed
to get into Russia. His record now Is
5S,006 miles.

London, then walk to New Haven and
