not only looked almost exactly alike,
and could wear each others clothes
without the slightest misrt, but usuai-

difference OF not more than ar ounce

"let's go and get weighed. l believe I
can beat you this time"
Tommy agreed. and they went to the
grocery store where these contests were
usually decided.
You get on the scales first said
Johnny.
Tommy complied. and his weight
was found to be sixty-eight pounds,

Then Johnny took bis turn. He

In the month Of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads OF the creeks and about the
alrhDles in the thick ice may be seen
the curious trail of the muskrat. It
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks, heavily and slowly
impressed and the sharp after drag OF
the long, scaly, bladelike tail. All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable in their we'll
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
their long sharp teeth and strong, Inch
long claws, they had cut aud cleared
wide paths through all the marshes
paths SO deep that three feet of ice did
not close them, SO wide that we have
often padded along them, marveling
at the great floating masses of torn up
aquatic vegetation. These paths were
q hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through a mass OF
tangled cover high enough in most
places to thoroughly conceal a duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be-
fore them to choose their meal from.

the juicy tubers Of the wild onion (the

CHICAGO.

The highly sustained volume Of com
nerce centering here is attes,ed by axgrs-
gate payments through the banks during
the past month and this week. which ex-
hioit striking gains over a year ago. Less
pressure for money and few business fall
0res make easier conditions for capital in
vestment, and with continued profitable
returns for farm and range products the
indications appear brighter for a lower
discount rate to mercantile borrowers.
Trade responds to the better effect Of
favorable developments. Preparations
reflect renewed confidence among the lead
ing producers and little capacity remains
to be booked up for this quarter. New
demands equal expectations in iron. steel
and railway equipment. and the orders
for future deliveries are satisfactory in
forge work, machinery, heavy hardware,
wire products. furniture and footwear.
Country merchants come from nearby
points in increasing numbers. and their
selections of fall and winter fares stimu-

Region Of Lake Nyassa.
In his book From the Cape to
Cairo" T.. s. Grogan writes: The
Kungu fly, which Is peculiar to Lake
Nyassa, resembles small May nics,
and at certain seasons OF the year they
rise from the water In such s~tupendouS
clouds that they blot out the whole
horizon. Seen In the distance they
have exactly the appearance OF a rain
storm coming across the lake. When
they are blown landward they make
every place uninhabitable by the
stencil which arises from the countless
millions that lodge and die on every
inch OF sheltered ground. l myself
have seen them lying n foot deep IN
a room. and l was told that they are
often much worse. The natives sweep
them up and makes cakes OF them.
Biting and poisonous ants are IN
other pest, but the mosquito Is the
great enemy OF man. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to turn in half an
hour before sunset and 10 make ali
the preparations for the night. l piled
all my belongings round the edge OF
my net and kept n green wood fire
burning Mt each end, and then I lay
inside, smoked the native tobacco and
prayed for morning. AS soon - the
sun went down the mosquitoes started
operations.
1T was like having a tame whirl-
wind In ones tent. They could not
