THE WEASEL
His Ferooity Unbounded and He
COURAGE InvincibIe.


Courage lnvincibIe.
The weasel is the most bloodthirsty
Of all our native carnivors. His feroc-
ity is unbounded, his courage invinci-
Bile. He Is one Of the few British wild
animals from whom man has to fear
attack
If you meet a group Of weasels you
will do well not to interfere with
them, for those who have done so have
occasionally suffered for their temer-
tty. His dwarflsh size rather accentu-
ates than diminishes the detestation in
which he is held, for there is some
thing uncanny in the idea of so much
relentlessness and cruelty being COM
pressed into SO small frame.
The rabbit, who will fight fierce
and bitter battle with one of bis own
kind, is paralyzed with fear at the
mere sight Of this puny foe, whom he
could probably pulverize could be
brace his heart to the attempt Squeal-
ing with fear, he hops stupidity about
until the little vampire springs upon
his neck and buries his fangs in an
artery.
Then the victim either sinks to the
ground and submits to his fate or, sud-
denly acquiring the use Of his muscles,
he speeds aimlessly along, the weasel
clinging to his neck till his work is
done. There are few more pitiful
sounds in nature than the panic strick-
en- cry of rabbit when he finds that
he is being stalked by weasel.-Lon-
don Answers.

In Spain the etiquette to be observed
In the royal palaces was carried to
such length as to make martyrs Of
their kings. There is a historic in
stance. Philip III. was gravely seated
by the fire. The firemaker of the court
had kindled so great quantity Of
wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat, and his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair. The domestics could not pre-
sumo to enter the apartment because
1t was against the etiquette At length
the Marquis do Total appeared, and
the king ordered him to damp the fires,
but he excused himself. alleging that
he was forbidden by the etiquette to
perform such function. for which the
Due d'Usseda ought to be called upon.
as it was his business. The duke was
gone out The fire burned fercer, and
the king endured 1t rather than dero-
gate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated to such a degree that he
was seriously Ill the next day. VIC
lent fever succeeded, which carried
him off in the. twenty-fourth year of
his age.-London Standard.

A LONG DRIVE.
Tho Expert Lumbermen Of tho Cana
dian Rivers.

The Expert Lumbermen Of tho Cana
dian. Rivers.
One Of the most interesting sights
the new arrival in Canada can strike
Is to witness log drive on one of the
rivers there, especially should there be
several rapids to navigate.
The expert river man Is clever ath-
lete-clever and nervy as any circus
rider, his steeds probably cutting moro
antics than any horse could think of.
He will jump from one log to another
quickly as they swirl around until he
reaches the one he wants; then he will
make for the center and stand perfect
ly upright and still, balancing himself
with long pike or peavy, sometimes
running down stream miles without
landing.
he also guides other logs into the
channel In passing, at times jumping
from one to another In marvellous fash
ion, although the logs are twisting and
turning IL every direction.
Probably the cleverest piece of work
one could observe out here is when
the logs get damned In passing the
rapids. Then you see the expert at
his best He is here. there and every
where until he gets things as he wants
them, when he will calmly stand and
ride down among the heaving. grind
ing mass as though there were no dan
ger at hand. This scene, so full Of ex-
element, once, witnessed could never
be orgotten.-London Tit-Bits.

small saddle was hunted up and one
of the horses pressed into service. The

ride, and after he had been walked
up and down the barnyard a few

WEDDING BELLS A-pLENTY.
Marry Young and Often Seems to Be
the Rule In Egypt

~'sS seAic vi 66yPe
According to information given from
authentic sources to a correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly while In Egypt,
there are few men In Cairo past the
age Of twenty years who have not been
married at least twice, and the major
ity of women over sixteen have made
half dozen or so matrimonial expert
ments." There Is no disgrace attached
to divorce in Egypt. If mutual admi-
ration wanes with the honeymoon,
there is nothing more natural to the
Egyptian mind than that the dissatis-
fed party takes steps toward another
trial Marriage is universal In Egypt.
There are no old maids. Widows re-
main widows but short time, and,
as rule, no young man is considered
fitted for business or entitled to tho
confidence OF the community until he
Is married. These numerous marriages
and their attendant celebrations make
it extremely interesting for the stran-
ger from the west who journeys
through Egypt Toward the end of the
tourist season, when money is consid-
erably more plentiful than it is just
before the travellers invade the coun-
try and begin to scatter piasters along
the Nile, there are hundreds of mar
riages. In Cairo they average during
the month of April from ten to twenty
day Of the elaborate ones-with brass
bands, professions and feasting-
