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
the element at each stroke. The shout
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: ION one occasion when ferret
Ing bolted 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 it died an
hour later. Next came the stoat and
then the cat, both of which I 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
it afterward"
Interesting figures on the relative
agility of hares and rabbits are given
In a recent volume by ]. G. Millais

length Of the hare's stride is about
four feet; but under conditions of feal
its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet

feet in width Perpendicular a hare

about two feet; when necessary 1t can

that divide the animal from the human

Of that line? It would be impossible
even to guess what proportion of us

DINING IN JAPAN,
II It's Your First JAPANESE Meal Yo,
Will Have q Trying Time.

Al AS 1Our FIRST Japanest Meal You
Will Have a Trying Time.
II. it's your first Japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time.
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs
In Japan. You kneel down, and then
you turn your toes in till one laps over
the other, and then you sit back be-
tween your heels. At first you are
quite proud to find how well you do it.
and you don't think it's SO very I'M
comfortable. But pretty soon you get
cramped, and your legs ache as If you
had toOthache in them. You don't
say anything, because you think that IL
the japanese can sit this way all day
long you ought to be able to stand it a
few minutes. Finally both your feet
go to sleep, and then you can't bear it
a moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to drive
the prickles out of your feet, and all
the little dancing girls giggle at you.
This isn't your only trouble either. All
you have to eat with is pair of chop
sticks, and you're in terror lest you
spill something on the dainty white
mating floor. Now the floor of a jap
anese house isn't just the floor; it's the
chairs and sofas and tables and beds
az well. At home it would be mortify-
ing enough to 60 out to dinner and
spill something on the floor, but In
Japan, where people sit and sleep on
the floor, it seems even worse. So you
are unhappy till your little nesan (who
10 the waitress and almost AZ prettily
dressed as the dancing girls, but not
Quite) comes laughing to your aid
and shows you how to hold your chop
sticks. After that you manage nicely
the rice and the omelet, but the fish
and the chicken you can't contrive to
shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
~ years old-kneel down beside you
and help you. They can't keep from
giggling at your awkwardness, but you
don't mind; you just giggle, too, and
everybody giggles and has q lovely
time-St. NicholaA

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately. are not, owing to
the unnatural condition Of the lives we
lead. Headache, backache and general
tired condition are prevalent amongst
the women of today, and to relieve these
conditions women rush to the druggists
for bottle of some preparation sup
posed to be particularly for them, and
containing knows what. If
they would just get box of Brand
reth's Pills, and take them regularly
every night for time, all their trouble
would disappear, as these pills regulate
the organs Of the feminine system. The
same dose has the same effect, no mat
ter how long they are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every
drug and medicine store, plain or sugar
coated.

~ high as 8 cents. The feeding value
Of the pumpkin Is doubled by removing
the seed, which possess the properties
Of drying up the mich cows.
The work of handling the seed h
carried on by the children Of the farm,
who drst take the ripe pumpkin and
pound it lightly on the ground, until
the SEEDS are loose in the core. Ths
pumpkin Is then broken open and the
seeds Scooped out and they are then
washed thoroughly and dried and ars

DRYDEN WITHDRAWS
New Jersey Senator Warned
 by Physicians.
STRAIN ENDlNGERS HIS HEALTH.
Had Called Meeting For Today ta Explain Why, In His Opinion, He Was Entitled to Re-
 election.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. = United States Senator John +. Dryden of New Jersey has authorized the announce. ment that he has withdrawn his name as g candidate for reelection to the United States senate.
 This action was taken on the advice of the senator's physicians, who warn. ed him of the danger to his health if he persisted in attending the public meeting arranged at his request and held in Trenton today. It was Sena. tor Dryden's intention to address the Republican members of the legislature and set forth the reasons, in his opin- ion, why he should be reelected to the senate.
 Senator Dryden said he had hoped at the meeting to be able to convince the eight Republicans who refused to be bound by the action of the party eau GUS that their opposition to him is bas- ed upon mistaken grounds. The speech which the senator intended to deliver before the Republican caucus at Tren- ton will be made public.
 In explaining the senator's withdraw al from the senatorial race his private secretary made the following state ment:
 Senator Dryden concluded that continuance of the deadlock would tend to injure the party and the state. Accordingly he has formally announc- ed his intention to withdraw. Senator Dryden is not dangerously i'll. His condition is such, however, that his physicians and family consider it of vital importance that he should be re- lieved at once of any further strain up- on his strength and that complete rest from all cares is absolutely necessary"
 Indications here are that State Sena- tor Frank o. Briggs will be Mir. Dry den's successor. Mir. Briggs has au- thorized the statement that he is candidate in the sense that he is will Ing to accept the place.
 Other names mentioned include for mer Governor Griggs, State Senator Bradley of Camden, State Assessor Baird of Camden and Congressman John J. Gardner of Atlantic City.

The young ladies would come to no agreement, even when Miss Dex- ter offered to skate three-quarters of a mile. The manager finally substi- tuted one mile race between Ed Whalen and Joseph Roberlard and split the $5 which was to have been the prize for the girls. The money was split owing to the fact that Ro- berlard who had the race we'll in hand accidentally fouled Whalen by passing on the inside, crowding him into the spectators.
