The mother fox escaped before the hunters
reached the den. which was lined thickly with
soft grasses and feathers. instead Of run
ming away she kept within sight while the
hunters worked with their shovels.
She apparently understood what they
were doing, for she ~endeavored by every
means to attract them away from their work
and toward herself. She approached quits

Then she would limp OF as II very lame. going

The hunters we're not to be drawn away
from the work In hand by such tactics, and
finally. after much digging, came upon the
den where the five pretty little fellows we're

seemed rather to like the handling and pettins
they received. All Of them were taken to q

According to the lists the mounted militia

especially to tribes in northeast Persia,
but as they have nothing at all In common
with the Persians and are often at enmity
with them the Persian authorities cannot
rely upon them. In northeast Persia the
tribes incline toward the Afghans and In
northwest Persia toward the Turks.
Persia's best irregular cavalry is formed
from the nomad tribes Of the central region,
for they can furnish nearly I0o. 900 well armed
to take the field only when their own inter-
ests are involved. At all other times they
prefer TO attack the peaceful caravans.

CASTING BRONZE STATUARY.
Few Feundries for the Purpose On 1hii
Ceuntry-Expensive Process.

From the Washington Herald.
Although in the making Of bronze s~tatuary

Perhaps. indeed. 1t is Just because so
much depends on the founder. and 30 great
must be his skill and his knowledge Of the
sculptor's art that the ~foundries are 90 few.
A great deal Of such work Il now turned out
In this country. and every now end then q
foundry 10 started. only to make q failure
because Of lack Of the peculiar skill needed. It
seems hard to get skilled workmsn.
"The making Of q marble statue 10 lone
entirely by the sculptor. or by workmen
and students in his studio and under his
personal supervision. The bronze statue
Is not only not made In the sculptor's studio,
but II L. almost invariably an enlargement
Of the scuiptor's model. which enlargement
Ia made by the casters, and through methods
Of which the sculptor himself. may know
nothing at all. =
THE making OF bronze statuary is ex-
pensive. Exclusive Of the amount paid to
the sculptor the founders charge for a life
size statue, runs up from s70O. The larger
and more Intricate the design the greater
the cost. but q single life size figure in simple
dress and pose may cost as much rs 81 200"
