CANADIAN FOX FARMING.
Nova Scotia Farms Produce Fox
Skins for Market.

Consul George N. West of Sydney,
reports that two small "fox farms"
which were in operation In that part
of NoYa Scotia for several years,
have been abandoned, but instances
another successful one:
1t is credibly stated that a very
flourishing fox farm is being carried
on in Prince county, Prince Edward
Island, that the parties conducting
the same have met with great sus.
cess, and each year put on the mar
ket large /. numbers of skins OF va
rious kinds.
Their success, it is said, is largely
due to the fact that they have their
farm divided off into sections, each
section under the care of one per-
son, no one else being allowed to ap-
proach it. In this way the animals
become accustomed to the person in
charge and grow very tame, but If a
stranger approaches they will hide
and not be seen for a day or two.
AS most of the skins from the farms
first referred were invoiced and GER
titled at this consulate for shipment
to the United States, it can be stated
that many of them in their green
condition were valued at 5000 to $3.50
each, one or two reaching $3.50.

Elsnhant LIE In the JunaIes.

are a mixture of strength and weak
ness, of craft and simplicity. The
paths through the jungle from village

the interlaclng foliage has been cut

trodden into a black mud. After a
rain this mud is many feet deep, and
no living creature except an elephant

through 1t. The elephant makes his

THREE NEW CARDINALS.
Hope of Archbishop Ireland's Friends
for His Advancement Is Deferred.

Rome, Dec. 16.-Three new cardi-
nails were created by the pope at a
secret consistory in the vatican today.
They are Hensignor Gasparri, secre-
tary of the congregation of extraor-
binary ecclesiastical affairs; Mon
signor Lucen, archbishop of Rheims,
and Monslgnor Andriep, archbishop
of Marseilles.
Monslgnor Kennedy. the rector of
the American college. was created
titular bishop of Adrianapolis, a
high honor which has never before
been conferred upon a rector, the
appointment being officially an
nounced at todays consistory.
Some time ago it was thought that
Archbishop Ireland would be made a
cardinal at this consistory, but this
hope of American Catholics must
again be deferred. The archbishops
friends in the sacred college are very
active lin his behalf, however, and 1t
it thought to be only a matter of a
year or two before the distinguished
American prelate will be given the
red hat. 1t is said that the pope is
already convinced that Archbishop
Ireland is deserving of the honor,
but, although he can choose whom
ever he thinks best without any in
reference, the congregations on
which the prelates depend or have
depended are always consulted. There
is probably some opposition to Arch
bishop Ireland in this quarter.

The Questions They Ask.

The capacity Of the average small

more searching inquiries have ever
been made by boy than those pro-

Mod Cow Makes Lively Time.

Andrew Larsen had a very exciting
experience last Saturday with a Vi
cious COW which had been marked
for slaughter and which was being
driven to the slaughter pen. The COW
did not drive easily, and getting
warmed up, finally turned as they
were crossing the townslte, and at
tackled the horse which Larsen was
riding, goring the horse and fighting
viciously. Several persons who es-
sayed to help were charged by the
infuriated beast and had to seek
safety behind barn doors. Mr.. Lar
sen finally secured several men on
horses to help him, and succeeded In
getting the cow corralled at the
slaughter pen.--Madras Pioneer.

Mad dogs do not attack people.
when a dog has the rabies" said
physician, "he has lost control OF his
body, and what he does Is mechanical.
His jaws snap involuntarily, and II he
encounters any object, whether ami
mate or inanimate, he is likely to bite
It. But a mad dog does not attack as
does an angry dog. He does not pick
out a victim or use any strategy. For
this reason dogs suffering from rabies
are less dangerous than is supposed.
No grown person need fear them, for
all he has to do is to get out Of the
way. The dog will not chase him. or
course, young children are In danger,
as they do not know how to dodge the
brute"

The S475.OOO from Washington, the

the 100000 more needed to obtain
it, make nearly $1,5OO.OOo for road

effect revising the entire working road

Live Cat in a
Mail Pouch
BIG EXCITEMENT ON TRAIN BE.
TWEEN RARKERssURG AND
GRAFTON THE OTHER
DAY.

There was a barrel Of excitement
a couple of days ago on the fast mpil
train which runs between Parkersburg
aud Grafton. When the excitement was
at its. height the train was speeding
along at the rate Of about 60 miles an
hour, and had it not been for that it is
more than likely that the entire crew
of postal clerks would have jumped
of.
The trouble occurred just after the
train had passed Donahue The train
does not even hesitate at that small
burg, but receives and delivers mail
by means of crane. The sack as
usual, was hanging in its place and
as the train whlstled by it caught the
sack and, without loss of time, one
of the clerks unlocked 1t and dumped
Its contents out. Immediately there
was a shrek that almost transfxed
the occupents Of the car, and then
there was scrambling for cover. The
noise was caused by a common cat
that some joker had placed in the mai
bag.
The feline promptly threw 10 fits
in succession and in It's mad gyratious
II scattered small pieces all over the
car and at the same time gave the
crew the scare of their lives. When
the cat became exhausted it was cap
tured, fed, and then put off at first
class station. The matter was report
ed to Fifth Division Railway Mail Ser
vice Superintendent RACER. who has
ordered an investigation, and he will
probably order the perpetrator of the
joke to be punished.
