NO. dear said his nurse, this is not

Choosing a Wife.

A land agents wife should be Lottie;
All ministers have need of a Grace;
A shoemaker calls his wife Peggy
Though homely it quite suits the place.
A druggist should choose Ann Eliza,
And Betty's the sporting mans mate;
A bachelors choice should be Mary.
Be for It's forever too late.
A nail-man Of course mariies Carrie.
A farmer for Tillie will quake;
a fisher needs Nettie or Minnie
And Lena the fat man should take.
A name for the wife of a lawyer
Can plainly be seen by all eyes:
Ill leave it to you and your conscience
Now wCuldn't the hest one be Lie?

Maine hunters found a den Of foxes
near the Katahdin Iron Works and I'M
earthed five little ones about as large
as well grown cats. 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 SlIovelS
She apparently understood what they
were doing, for she endeavored by ev-
cry means to attract them away from
their work and toward herself She
approached quite near and acted as if
lame and distressed. She would lie
down on her side and writhe along the
ground uttering whines and means.
Then she would limp off as if very
lame going very slowly and halting
frequently. The hunters We're not to
he drawn away from the work in hand
by such tactics, and family, after
much digging. came upon the den
where the five pretty little fellows
We're shrinking Hunters say it is
very rare for mother foxes to leave
all their Young in one place. 1t is their
cunning habit to scatter the family one
and two in widely separated retreats
1t is said, too. that foxes will not rob
roosts close to their dens. but will go
miles away for food and carefully hide
their trails.

Lubec Herald: Although the boat
builders of this section have turned
out craft of all kinds, from a three
master schooner to a dinghy, it is
doubtful if any of them ever saw d
boat of the kind which Capt J. c.
Pike, collector of customs, is having
built by Levi Griffin, who does not
claim to be much of a boat builder
This boat looks like the old cellar
door down which we all used to slide
and nobody would suspect it of being
anything designed for the water, ex-
cept perhaps as a floating target. 1t
consists of fiat surface, seven or
more feet square and couple of
inches thick. with a hole in the middle
This opening goes on over box some
three feet deep, and fastans there
Into the hole goes the occupant of the
boat. ond sits there. until the birds fly
around his boat--the craft is a gum
ming float. such as is used in the Caro-
lima marshes-and then rises no out
of his concealment and smtes them
with powder and shot. 1t is said to
be much easier than crawling over
the slippery lodges, now and then get
ting tidenipped, and having to per
suade the sea fowl that you are not
after them, and it ought to be a sue
cess.

Experiments in the domcsticatiOn and
training of elephants in the Congo Free
state indicate that they can be used to
advantage for porterage work in regions
where the opening up of the country is
most difficult because of lack of trans
portat.on facilities Contrary to the gem
eral belief that Central African elephants
could not be tanned and made to perform
the same service as their Asiatic fellows
in India 4 bulletin issued by the Congo
government announces the complete sue
cess of experiments conducted at an ''ele-
plant farm at Api,-Conslilar Reports.
Tomatoes are imported in increasing
quantities into England from Italy. The
quality of these tomatoes is stated to be
good and the prices low. Large quanti-
ties of canned tomatoes are also shipped
now each season from Italy to the east
ern part of the United States, and the
American shipments to Italy are much
smaller than formerly. 1t is suggested by
one of the leading importers in Liverpool
that the American tomatoes are frequent
ly packed before they are fully ripe, and
that this practice renders them undesir
able for use. The Italian tomatoes are
carefully selected. and are. only packed
when of n ripe and rich color.
