A FELINE HEROINE.

During the fire in the Tyner Block,
Hartford City, Ind, there was an I'M
usual exhibition of feline instinct,
says the Syracuse Standard.
While the flames and smoke filled
the room cat, which had family
of four in the rear of the store, made
use of the fire escape in rescuing her
family. She carried two kittens
across counters and shelves to reach
a window. Here she left them and
went after the other two.
The mother cat was drenched on
her return trip, but safely carried the
third to the landing. The fourth was
abandoned after she had made final
effort to go back into the store. The
iremen, noticing her efforts. rescued
the fourth.

THE LAST GREAT TREK.
Most Wonderful Story of the Day is
the Conquest of Canada

The greatest story of the day is
the story of the Canadian Northwest.
Tales of new lands are always inter-
esting; but this is the chronicle of
the last great trek-the trek into the
last of the new lands, at least, of the
North American continent. 1t is the
greatest people movement the world
ever saw; greater than the migration
of the Aryans, the Ciniri; the Goths.
Silently; irresistibly, with an unpar-
alleled rapidity, the people are moving
forward and occupying new lands,
even as they did the forests of Eu-
rope long ago, and the forests of the
Appalachians since then
This array of wayfarers bears no
banners; few are its trumps and
drums. Attilia the Hun led his saw
age clans over an old empire and laid
waste its cities, boasting that no
blade of grass might grow behind his
horses feet. This army of peace has
for its purpose the simple one of
making two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before.
1t is well-nigh the last army of
home-seekers the world will ever see
march into unconquered lands Here
after we must ravage and lay waste
if we would occupy, must extirpate
people to make room for US, wipe
clean a country in the orient or else
where and set on the law of might
as between man and man. But this
great trek to the northwest is no
battle march, other than the ever
joyous marching of man to do battle
with the wilderness, with the out-of-
doors. 1t lays waste no homes, but
builds homes anew. 1t makes place
for the strong, but there is no feud-
tax to follow. 1t is the mightiest as
well as the most peaceful conquest of
the conquering Anglo-Saxon race.
More than that, it is the swiftest.-
Outing.

THE GAME OF BLOCKADE.

Boys and girls will find this game
quite amusing. 1t requires two large
clothes baskets and about forty arti-
cles of all kinds, such as may be had
about the house. Put twenty of the
articles into each of the two baskets,
and place the baskets on opposite
sides of the room. Then the COM
pany should be divided into two sides,
facing each other, the leader of each
side standing next to basket. At
the lower end of each line should be
an unoccupied chair.
The object of the game, says the
Chicago News, is to pass the twenty
articles from each basket, one by one,
down the line. and place them on the
chair at the other end. At given
signal, each leader takes an article
from the basket at his side and hands
1t to the player standing next him,
who passes it on, and thus it goes
down the line to the player at the
other end, who places it on the chair.
Everything must be passed as
quickly as possible, for the side that
gets through first wins. If an article
is dropped it must go back to the
leader and start over again.

take a thin piece Of wood, an inch
and a half in length, and run it
through the centre of the two wheels,
allowing them to remain near the
opposite ends of the stick. This
forms sort of teatotem.
Start the wheels spinning on the
end Of the stick, so that one wheel
Is abovet The other. If the wheels are
white, they must spin against dark
background; if they are coloredj they
must be against white background.
While they are spinning look at
them at an angle, so that the spokes
on one side Of the Upper wheel over
lap those on the opposite side Of the
lower wheel, which you have spinning
in the opposite direction. A Curious
effect of curves will be produced by
this, and they will take somewhat
the form of No. 8. BY moving the
position Of the eye, up and down, so
that More or less of the spokes are
first hidden and then revealed, the
figures will change, making an end
less variety of curves.
You may produce a similar effect
by using only one wheel and spinning
it under strong lamplight, when
the shadow will act at the second
wheel Or you may try it in the
sunlight, if it be strong enough to
cast a distinct shadow. Other curious
effects may be produced by spinning
the two wheels at different velocities.

The Good Roads Movement.

The road question is as broad as
the State and affects not only the
benefits derived from free rural de-
livery Of mail, but every line OF COM
merce and communication Calves
ton Daily News.
The farmer was slow to learn the
benefits to him personally of good
roads, but the lessened wear and tear
upon horses and vehicles owing to
general betterment of highways has
proved to him that county money ex-
pended on road improvements Is a
capital investment: The extension OF
free rural delivery; one Of his real
home comforts, has been more easily
possible owing to better roads being
provided everywhere. He should
urge his legislative representative to
carry on the good work this winter in

The Prince of Montenegro on cer-
tain days, sits under the Judgment
tree outside his palace at Cettinje to-
hear complaints and try offenders.
The parties conduct their own cases
and the Prince gives decisions in the
combined character of sovereign and
judge. Trivial disputes are settled
by the local kneezes, who generally
act as peacemakers. The supreme
court of Cettinje is called the Veliki
Sud. 1t has jurisdiction, both appel
late and concurrent, over the whole
principality, and from its decision in
civil matters there is no appeal. In
criminal cases, however, the Prince
may pardon or may mitigate sem
fences. Crime in general is rare

Genesis of Burdett-coutts' Fortune.

Genesis of Burdett-Coutts' Fortune.
The death of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts throws ones thoughts back to
the lady from whom she inherited
her riches. Helen Melons career is
one of the romances of the stage.
From a stroling player she became
first, the bride of the leading English
banker of his day, and, subsequently,
Duchess of st. Adams. In Sir Walter
Scott's journal for 1925 is an account
of visit paid by Mrs. coutts to Alb
botsford, with the duke, her sutton,
in her train. We may gain some idea
of how people travelled in the pre-
railway era when we read that the
wealthy widow for this Scottish tour
required no fewer than seven car
riages. With three only of these she
came to Abbotsford.
Sir Walter was evidently interested
in the forthcoming union, which, like
a more recent union, had its critics.
On November rs he writes: Mrs.
Coutts, with the Duke of St Adams
and Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, called
to take leave of US. When at Abbcts-
ford his suit throve but coldly.
She had refused him twice and de-
cidedly. What then? Ii
the duke marries her he ensures an
immense fortune; if she marries him
she had the first rank. If he marries
woman older than himself by twen-

India's Fine Roads.

1t is probably not generally known
that India is remarkable for its pos
session of many most excellent roads,
some of them of great length, like
that which runs from Bombay to
Delhi, distance of 900 mills. 1t is
described as ID perfect highway.
Another fine read, 1890 miles in
length, extends from Calcutta to
Peshawur, at the frontier of Afghan
istan. These roads are kept in per-
feet repair, and were built originally
for military purposes before the adj
vent of railroads. Many of the native
princes give particular care to their
roads. Of course the nature of the
country plays a part in the existence
of the roads, and now they serve as
a stimulus to the use of automobiles,
which are very popular In India

Why Animals Fatten.

Why do some animals store up fat
more readily than others? An Eng
fish professor claims that animals
having small lungs fatten easiest. He
says: THE disappearance OF food
from the system of an animal is ow-.
ing to a combustion Of the food by
means of the air taken by the lungs.
The oxygen which has once entered
the system never again escapes from
it without being united either with
part Of the body or Of the food.
That is, large lungs burn up or
breathe away the food, while small
lungs save it. This theory has a
plausible sound and is supported in
such illustrations as that Of the pig,
with its small lungs and large fat
Ing powers, in contrast with the
horse, which has. the opposite quail
lies, but there seem to be various
objections to the general statement.

DOMESTIC JUNGLEs.

Many French child of the upper
class will receive a young tiger, a
baby leopard or some such interest
ing youngster for Christmas or New
Years present. The private 200"
is all the rage among rich French
families, and little French boys and
girls would rather receive live pets
than the time-honored dolls and toys.
Sometimes q young scion of aristoc-
racy will go so far as to sport baby
lion, and Mile. de Tocqueville has a
couple of baby tigers romping round
the house; but puppies and kittens
are in the greatest demand for those
who have not the room for an ex-
tensiye establishment. AS soon as
the jungle pets begin to show their
teeth and claws they are banished
from the homes of their owners to
their country estates or are presented
to one or the other of the public
geological gardens.
