ming, fox, or fisher, who, being too large to be
caught, springs the trap with impunity, eats
the bait at leisure, and, following along from
one, trap to another, renders the entire line
useless.
But the trapper who, like ours, carries
some steel traps with him, can prevent this
devastation by making each third or fourth
trap steel one, which spoils the plans of
Master Fox and not seldom brings him within
reach of the trapper's revenge.
When his first trap has been properly set
the trapper follows along the ridge for per-
haps fifteen rods until he finds a spot adapt
ed to trap number two.
After leaving his first trap he has been
careful to blaze the trees--that is, cut a
slight cash in the bark, which will form a
trail along his "line.'
His bunch of muskrats, or drag" as it is
called, is now brought into use. 1t is drag,
ged along the ground in such way that any
animal crossing the ridge would scent it and
follow its trail TO one of the traps.
In this way the sable trapper continues,
making as many traps as he thiuks he can
attend to.
Every second or third trap is steel one.
These are usually SCI in the roots of some
tree and so arranged that it will be impossi-
BILE for any. creature to reach the bait without
being caught.
So sable line is made. The trapper visits
his line once in two days; often enough
where only dead-falls are used, but too long
to let animal suffer in a steel trap
If any one having a taste for woodcraft
should spend an autumn near large tracts of

eight inches long and five wide is made of
sticks driven into the ground till their height
Is about six inches
Ihls is securely covered and opposite the
open sides two short posts are set, four inch
es from the pen and five from each other;
between these posts and the sides of the pen
a stick of hard wood is latd and above it
longer pole, so placed that with one end rest
ing on the ground the other will move up and
down between the upright posts and the
sides of the pen, and when down will rest
soldly upon the stick of hard wood which
hes upon the ground benath it,
Ibis long pole is now weighted with a log
or two. and then raised and held some four
inches above the lower block by an arrange
ment of twigs; to one of these twigs the
palt, which is back in the closed end of the
pen, is securely fastened.
Ihe animal, with part of its body thrust
between the two poles, seizes the bait and
dlsturbs the arrangement of the twips: the
upper pole fails, and the victim is crushed
between the poles.
The advantage of the dead-fall is that no
substance is used in its construction which is
foreign to the woods, and SO a keen-nosed
animal like the sable distrusts it less than a
steel trap. Moreover, when the animal is
once caught its fate is certain; there is no
tearing away or gnawing off of feet. as
sometimes happens in the case of steel traps.
But, on the other hand, the trapper who de-
pends entirely on dead-falls will often find
his whole sable line destroyed by some cum

lips, and avoid raising and depressing the eve,
brows while laughing or talking A calm and
even tone and avoidance of fits of temper will
save many wrinkle.
If the lines are already there it is some
times possible to remove them by mechanical
means. A bright, studious girl found herself
the victim of this sccowl, which had already
made two fine. hair lines in her white brow.
She set herself to work to cure the habit bv
setting her mirror before her face when she
read, wrote or studied; but as this distracted
her attention from her work, she finally placed
a ribbon band tightly across her brow, tying
it in knot at the back Of her head, and
at night she slept in the band.
After several months the little hair lines
disappeared ..om her pretty forehead, and She
is quite, cured of the .disfguring habit. w
But the best plan is to avoid these marks

/ "a lew people Know tnaC a Httle air
NAL inhabits our northern woods
- called the sable, or, more correct
i@Ey ly speaking, the pine marten. He
e--~--@% is graceful, active fellow, equally
at home on the ground and in the
tree-tops. From his sharp, foxy nose to the
tip of his long tail he is all alertness, and
this characteristic is one reason of his be-
ing so little known.
Moreover he is essentially creature of the
wilderness, and loves heavily wooded ridges
far from man and his surroundings.
The farmers wife need never complain of
the sable when her poultry-yard is molested,
for he disdains such tame way of getting
living. and leaves barnyard devastations to
his more mean-spirited cousins, the foxes and
mink.
The sabe-for so he is generally called by
the hunters and trappers-is about twenty
five inches in length, from nose to the tip of
his tail; of a slender build, and in this re
spect not unlike the mink. In color he is a
beautiful rich brown.
It is while running and leaping among the
tree-tops that he appears at his best, combin-
ing with the ease and vigor of the squirrel
an elegance of proportion in which he is un-
excelled by any of our smaller animals.
But this grace and agility is not what at
tracts the trappers who frequent the Adiron-
dacks and other of our northern forests. They
find his greatest attraction to be the coat
of soft, fine CUR in which he appears each
autumn
The favorite haunt of the sable is ridge,
usually beech ridge. and many such one
stretches along near the shores of the Adj
rondack lakes. Along these ridges the sable
trapper sets his traps, making what he calls
sable line"
The trapper when he sets out to make one
of these lines is we'll loaded down. In one
hand he carries, of course. his gun; in the
other a most unpleasant-loolin bundle, the
carcasses of several muskrats which have
been stripped of their skin and are fastened
to the end of rope some six or eight feet
long. In one side of his belt is thrust light
ak. and from the other side hang half
dozen steel mink traps.
So equipped, our trapper leaves his lake
shanty and strikes back into the woods for
mile or more, until he climbs ridge or low
line of hills which stretches along for some
miles parallel with the shores of the lake.
Having selected "hkely" spot, usually
little knoll clear of underbrush, he proceeds
to make his first trap. This is "dead-fall,"

any acquaintance with woodcraft must be

tween the eyes. You will notice these lines
in portraits of the first Napoleon, Bismarck,
the late Emperor William, Whittier, and thou
sands of others. The effect, as of all
wrinkles and distortions, is to make the face
ten years older.
Now, this does not so much matter in
man, to whom good looks are of small con.
cern, but it is a blemish on girls face. This
habit of scowling or frowning is habit almost
impossible to correct, once formed, and it is
a habit formed by great many young people.
Even in sleep their brows will be drawn togeth-
er in this little frown that is an alder and
abetter of age.
A smooth, white brow is one of the greatest
attractions in girls face, and it is a shame
that more attention is not paid to the cor
