TANNING A WILD MOUSE.

| was waiting at the drumming log of the ruffed grouse for the bird to come and perform before me. My place of concealment was in the branches of fallen dead spruce. I had not been waiting long before a white footed mouse appeared among the branches on the ground almost under me.
 It was interesting to see how freely he moved from place to place. ap- bearing now here and now there. all the while travelling under the snow. which had many caverns formed in it by the sun. for it was early spring.
 Another mouse soon made his ap- peaEance. and watched the two for some time as they searched for food. It was not long before one of the mice was nibbling at my shoe. but the slightest movement of my foot, which was resting on the trunk of the tree. sent him scurrying tn the shelter of the branches below. By patient advances, however, I was able to touch the little fellow with the tips of my extended fingers. and five minutes later I was stroking his back as you might stroke kit ten's.-St. Nicholas.

CAT AND RAT ARE cRoNIES.
Eat, Sleep and Play Together-Pussy
 Defends Her Protege.

An intimate friendship between d pet white rat and big cat Is, re- ported by correspondent of St. Nicholas. When the white rat was about two months old by accident d stray cat was allowed to enter the room. IL was immediately expected that pussy would devour the rat
 But there was great surprise when the rat. instead of showing fright and running away. ran toward the eat and nestled itself under the cats warm breast. The cat is apparently as fond of this white rat as she would he of her own kittens.
 When they are fed they are given pieces of meat cut in strings. Each one gets hold of string at either end and they try to see which can eat the most of it. The cat usually wins. because she is the stronger
 If the white rat is missing the cat hunts first in the wicker basket in which they sleep together and then in every nook and corner and some finds the rat.
 Pussy and the white rat have been together now for little over a year. and the cat is thoroughly responsible around to the back door she jumps out of her corner. shows fight and chases them away.
