RARE COLORS IN MOLES.
Particular Varieties Confined to Ger.
tain Fields-Piebald and White.

Molecatching first became regu-
lar occupation about century ago
when English molecatchers were in
troduced on the lands of the then
Duke of Buccleuch.
The handsomest varieties belong
to the silver gray class. If these
could be obtained in any quantity
their skins would bring high price
in the fur market.
Mr.. Service, of Dumfries, lately
lecturing before the Edinburgh Field
Naturalists' Association, stated that
he had never seen really white
mole, and he believed it to be a great
rarity Nor had he ever seen a pie
bald variety. He mad little doubt
that variation of color in moles ran
in certain families.
The regularity with which a par.
ticular variety occurred repeatedly in
the same field or on the same farm
was we'll known to every molecatcher,
while no abnormal celebration would
perhaps occur in any other part OF
the parish.-From the London Globe

FROM PILOT TO .sAMuRAI.-

Money is being raised in Japan to
restore the monument of Will Adams,
the first English resident of that
country and the founder of the Jap
anese fleet. No fiction of adventure
is more romantic and seemingly i'm
probable than is the story of this
Kentish pilot of the seventeenth CEN
fury. Mr.. Lafcadio Hearn, in one OF
his books on Japan. tells the tale of
the young Englishmans rise to for
tune.
In 1900 Will Adams arrived In
Japan in command of Dutch ship.
Adams had partaken of many a sea
adventure, and had probably been
brought in contact with Hawkins.
Drake, Sir Richard Grenville and the
other celebrated voyagers of that day.
He says himself. in his account of his
life, that he SERVED for Master and
Pilot in her Majestie's ships"
On landing in Japan. Adams was
taken prisoner and sent to Osaka to
the great Emperor lyesyasu.
As soon as | came before him he
demanded OF what countrey we were"
says Adams. so answered him on
all points. He asked whether our
country had wares. / answered him
yea. He asked as to the way we came
to the countrey. Having a chart of
the whole world | showed him
through the Straight of Magellan. He
viewed me well and seemed to be
wonderful favorable"
The Emperor attached Adams to
his personal service. and later we
read of the late pilot teaching his
royal master Geometry and under
standing of the art OF mathematics. -
Adams was we'll provided for, and
commanded to build ships for deep
sea sailing Before long he was Gre
ateG Samurai, and an estate was given
him.
Surely no romance of that romantic
age was stranger than the rise of this
plain English pilot. with only his
simple honesty and common sense
to help him. He was in such extra.
ordinary favor with the greatest and
shrewdest of Japanese rulers that we
read in a contemporary account:
THE Emperor esteemeth hymn much,
and he may goe in and speake to hym
at all times when Kynges and Princes
are kept out
Adams only cause for regret in his
elevation to fortune was the fact that
he was never allowed to visit his ma
tive land. His services were regard
ed as too precious to be spared. The
Emperor never refused him anything
but this one privilege. and Adams
did not dare to urge the matter TOO
hard, for, as he writes, when | asked
bne too many times the Ould En-
\erour was silent"

The Pussy Woodsman.

D.d you ever find yourself in the
woods with "fusser;" that is, man
wro only sees the disagreeable side
OF everything, and published his
views carly and often? For such
man the trail is frightful; the woods
that occasionally slap him playfully
across the cheek are anathema, the
water is too wet, his rod or cast or
something or other gets broken or
lost, his shoe pinches one foot. About
an hour before dark. just at the time
when it is worth kings ransom to
be beside the favored waters, he
wants to get back to the boat, and IS

To Try Growing Hemp in Wisconsin.

Experiments in the growing Of
hemp in Wisconsin will be conducted
by the agronomy department of the
University of Wisconsin in co-opera-
ton with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
Board of Control. The farms of the
State penitentiary at Waupun, the
Mendoza insane asylum and the agri-
cultural experiment station at Mad
ison have been chosen for the exper-
iment, which will be carried on un-
der the supervision of l.. II. Dewey.
a government agronomist. The plan
is to discover what soils in this State
are best adapted to the culture of
hemp. and whether crops can be pro-
duced at price to make possible its
use for binder Irvine. Experiments
will also be made with various ma
chimes for the separation of the fibres
from the plant. and to discover the
economic value of hemp as a rota-
ton crop.-Madison Correspondence
