TEXAS BABY RIDES ON
TRUCK OF FAST EXPRESS

A newspaper report from Galveston
has it that a baby fifteen months old
rode over one hundred miles on the
truck of an express train. 1t was a
risky trip for the baby, but babies even
at home run great risks from baby
ailments, especially at the approach
of summer. If there is baby at your
house get posted on baby needs in

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES

Lucky indeed were the chosen few

The guests were invited to appear in
maddest mood to the March Hare's
party and as the day belonged to old
Saint Pat to bring along an Irish Joke.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
guests. truly in their maddest mood,
appeared, but the mad March hare had
arrived before them and decorated this
lovely little home as only he could dee
orate. The choicest books and papers
were scattered in widest confusion;
exquisite pieces Of mahogany were
overturned and rarest pictures upside

Habits of Seals.

The habits of seals are very interest
Ing. The very young seal Is helpless
in the water until he is taught by his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him in and when he gets tired or
foundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are we'll grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals. No one
knows where they go, and their return
IS equally as sudden as their departure.
The bulls are the first to put in an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare a camp for their mates
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die. In the mean
time the female seals remain quite
distance from land. floating lazily on
the water and seemingly having
good time.

Coyote and Jack Rabbit.

The speed Of the Jack rabbit has al
ways been proverblal among western
men, like the speed Of a coyote. In a
straightaway race 1t is claimed that
the jack rabbit can distance the coyote,
but he usually falls a victim to the
coyotes superior intelligence. The IA
vorite coyote method for catching jack
rabbits is for one Of the animals to
start a jack and attend to the work OF
keeping the victim on the run, while
the other coyote sits down, patiently
awaiting the arrival Of his dinner.
The Jack rabbit when he has free
range will run in circles, and the
coyotes cleverly count on this habit
Before long the rabbit will arrive at
the place from which he started, ana
there coyote No. 2, fresh and ready
for a short sprint, will swoop down
upon him and then divide the meal
with the coyote that has done the ac-
tual chasing.-New York Press.

uu,t;no Truffl.s as Sport.

Quite apart from the interest Of
fungi to the naturalist the temptation
cannot here be resisted to refer to
method Of procuring one kind Of fun
gus, which might take rank among the
minor sports. This is the fashion,
originating in France, Of procuring the
trufie By the aid Of swine and hounds.
More Ill assorted sporting companions
can hardly be imagined. The truf1e
grows underground. Pigs are paruc-
ularly fond of these delicacies and,
guided by the scent, will discover
them by roofing IN the earth. After
the discovery Of the truffles the dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from devouring the
spoil. And every quality dear to the
sportsman of skill and judgment Is
needed to control and obtain the de-
sired result from the efforts Of herd
of swine and a pack Of hounds.-Lon-
don Outlook.
