soms Animal. In Winter.

The ptarmigan, a member Of the
grouse family, IS in summer mottled
with black and a rich fluffy brown,
but in winter It becomes pure white.
The snowy owl and the snow buntings
that come to us from the far north
have whitish plumage that blends har-
moniOusly with the prevailing white
ness OF the landscape. But PERHAPS
the most interesting example OF all is
the weasel, whose fur in the summer
has peculiarly soft shade OF reddish
brown, but ia the winter is pure white
except at the tip Of the tail. II is
probable that this black point is useful
TO its owner in diverting the attention
of a carnivorous bird or Of a beast OF
prey, as the black spot is more readily
seen than the white body Of the an
imal 1t is said, too, that If the tip is
covered with snow the whole weasel
becomes clearly visible and that II the
first snowfall is later than usual 1t is
claimed by some naturalists that the
color change is delayed accordingly.
The turning white takes place when
most needed.-St Nicholas.

The method of alluding TO Bryan"
Democrats, Haskell" Democrats,
gold" Democrats is an old trick on
the part OF the Republican political
writer's. There is but one kind OF a
Demoerat--a man who believes In
giving 10 the individual the greatest
possible liberty, not to trespass upon
the privileges and rights Of others,
Whose can subscribe to that great
doctrine is a member OF the party, no
matter who happens to be his chosen
leader for the time being. The
friendship between Colonel Bryan
and Governor Haskell is OF many
years duration, and the attempt TO
make II appear TO the contrary ap-
proaches the ridiculous.

day the obstructionists are for one
idea. the next they wish to amend
their own acts. That is what cost
them their places. In the days when

pointive, the obstruction force each
day would amend the errors Of the

to amend by eliminating the OUTFIT

The law regarding sleeping cars Is
that they must preserve order In the

Numerous lawsuits have been started
by persons who have lost money or
valuables in sleeping cars. Some have
been successful, others have not been.

What is your advice regarding feeling
on the train? An Old Lady
The question of fees is a much
mooted one. Certainly In this country
the practice of feeling is becoming more
and more of a nuisance. In hotels and
restaurants when a bill is paid the
change is brought back in denomina-
lions suitable for feeling, and the waiter
expects to be given a portion of 1t. In
many places one cannot obtain good
service without giving a fee.
As rule, man is more liberal than
a woman when II comes to a matter
of fees. sleeping car porter knows
this. but no matter what one may think
on the subject. ii Is in many places
necessary to fee in order to get the
attention desired. The railroad COM
panfes take such advantage of this
that they pay their pofters little or
nothing during the summer months
when travel is heavy. In this situation
1t seems best to pay for services rem
dered. The amount. will. of course,
depend upon the attention required.
When a woman knows she will have
to call often upon the porter, or IL she
is travelling with an invalid. 1t Is we'll
to fee the porter on entering the car,
and to intimate that more will come
later, The second time for feeling
should be on leaving the car, II con-
tinuous service is desired. You will,
of course, provide yourself with small
change before leaving home for use in
such cases.
