HABITS OF THE HEDGEHOG.
Destroyer of Cockroaches-How He Gets
the Better of Adders.

The hedgehog, that butt of Juvenile
rustic horseplay, is the possessor Of
tastes which like Sam Weller's knowI-
edge of London are extensive and ne
culiar." Scorning fastidiousness it can
make hearty meal Of nearly any in
sect and is one of the few yertebrates
which can tackle the repulsive cock

beetles and crickets it is as useful as
mongoose among the rats, but it is not
generally known that it has a partially

at the adder's back, thereby breaking
it's spine. 1t then proceeds to crunch the
whole of the reptiles body by means of
it's powerful jaws, and after that it is
said to start at the tail and devOur
its prey. Of eggs the hedgehog is also
very fond, thereby giving just cause to
keepers and farmers to DESTROY it on
sight
Cases have been known where hedge
hogs actually forced the hen pheasant off
her nest and then proceeded to demOl-

among country people to the effect that
the hedgehog will suck the milk from
cows, who certainly show strong aver

uralists scout the idea, their explanation
being that it is the heat of the COW

SONG OF THE RIYETER.

Hipi Hip!-a cheer
For the riyeteer
As he climbeth the column top,
And squats astride the beam beside,
And lets his hammer plop.
The rivets hot
From the fiery pot
He grabs as they ceave the air:
Then jabs the shanks in the holes and
yanks
The lever wide for fair.
Then it's bang, bang, bang,
As the pistons clang;
And the blows fall fierce and fast.
That blotch dull red, is a rivet head
And he's shutting off the blast.
So line by line
The skeleton fine
Uprears its lofty crown,
And, presto look. there's another crook
In the skyline of the town.
Oh, a pioneer
Is the riveteer.
TIL his pinnacle scrapes the dome
He swings away where the planets play
The ether Is his home.
Maurice Morris, in New York sun.

A HIGH TONED QUARREL.
Two Aristocratic CANNES Battle on
Five Thousand Dollar Rug

On the $1,000 Kurdish rug in the lobby
of the Hotel st. Regis there occurred re-
Gently a shocking fight in which the spec
tators exhibited as keen an interest as
sporting men would have in prize ring
battle.
The contestants were two tiny, aristo-
cratic Pomeranians, each worth about
$1,000; but they went at each other just
like ordinary low-browed dogs Neither
weighed much more than cents worth
of soap, and they were evenly matched,
even to their color, which was, and per-
haps still is, brown.
1t happened that from the port eleva-
tor, a pom" belonging to the Baroness
Won Hengen-Muller. wife of the Aus
trian ambassador, emerged just at the
very instant that Isaac Storms pet came
out of the elevator on the starboard
side. Each was accompanied by maid
and each was bound for a mornings
constitutional.
Good morning" said the Stern Pom
to the other. according to bystanders.
The Won Hengen-Muller dog shifted and
walked into the lobby. The Stern dog
then made remark" which the hotel
clerks would not repeat. and in iiffy
one ball of Pomeranian was rolling about
on the costly rug, while yelps, banks and
bits of hair flew off at every conceiv-
able tangent.
The French maids shrieked and
tugged at the respective leashes
A brigade of bell boys rushed forward
and plunged into the fray. 1t took some
little time TO separate the combatants.-

The October fire loss is usually large,
because October is the month in which
the necessity for heating buildings re-
turns, and pipes and flues which have
fallen out Of order in the summer are
often called into requisition without care
full inspection. In October, 1909, the
aggregate fire loss in the United States
and Canada was $17,765,0O0, which is
greater than in any preceding month of
the year since May. While 100000
less than the October loss of a year ago,
it is more than $4,000O00 in excess of
the October loss for 1907. The aggre-
gate for the first ten months of the
present year is comfortably below that
of either of the two years last past, be
ing S16S,S65, 100. Last year it was
S2OS, 100000, and in 1907, $780, 100000.
There is now hope that the aggregate
fire loss for the present year may be
kept within the two hundred million
mark, which both of the two years pre-
ceding have passed.

Chicago has discovered that her lake
commerce has fallen off 100000 tons
in twenty years, and she is blaming the
decline upon those who have permitted
her harbor and rivers to fall behind the
requirements of the present time. But
Chicagos harbor and rivers are able to
far more tonnage than now
goes to that port, and the loss in ton
mage cannot be rightly ascribed to poor
harbor facilities. The fact that Chicago
is on the direct eastward and westward
route of the trunk lines, and the mid
continent distributing point for the rail-
roads, has made her a great freight cen
ter for whose traffic the railroads are in
better position for competition than are
the water carriers. She has progressed
greatly as a railroad center for this rea-
son, and declined as a lake port. She
will never have the lake commerce i'll
proportion to population that she once
enjoyed, but she will always be the great
est railroad center on the continent.

Chicago is enforcing a new ordinance
which limits to one hour the time an
automobile or any other vehicle may
stand continuously at the curb on a
downtown street. As might have been
expected, there is cutlery, chiefly from
automobile owners; but the congestion of
traffic on city streets due to a multiple
cation of power vehicles makes it inn
perative that every foot of surface be
kept clear Of distractions. A stand
ing vehicle is an obstruction, and it is
as illogical to contend for the privilege
of obstructing a street with a standing
automobile or with an idle team, as it
would be to ask for permission to extend
skid or freight runway out into the
street for a distance equal to the width
of a standing vehicle. If a skid were per-
mitted to project in this way there would
be a general howl from automobiles.

that California grower of grapes for

product of fifty tons, and that raisin
grapes have proved so improbable in the
Cucamonga section that they are being

Wisconsin wheat-growers could market
their crop for enough to pay for draw

which it would sell. There was a time
much more reeent-when farmers in
