SURELY VICTIM OF HARD LUCK
the Hardships That Are Under
gone by the Soldier.

He was a Canadian and he wore a
corporal's stripes. There he sat snug
ly in a sheltered part of his trench in
that little corner of Belgium and
played poker with a quartet of his
comrades Luck was against him. He
had lost about everything he had to
lose, when at the very height OF the
game-just after the dealer had done
his best and worst-a shell came
through the roof of the shelter,
passed between the Canadians long,
lean legs luckily without hitting
him), and buried itself harmlessly in
the soft earth. The others Of the
party leaped up in not inexcusable
haste and fled from the place, but the
Canadian did not move.
The disturbance brought the COM
pany commander on the run.
What's up" says he.
well, SIR" says the Canadian,
that there shell drops in on us and

it is pretty safe not to go off at all.

POINTS OUT NEW OCCUPATION
Expert of Department Of Agriculture
Urges the Cultivation of Edible
Snails.

Snail culture apparently has not yet
made a beginning in this country, the
few snails found on the market here
being brought over from Europe alive
in barrels and casks and sold by fish
dealers in our large cities. Writing in
the last Yearbook of the department
Of agriculture, Mr. r. w. Rust sug-
gests that the opportunities for snail
growing are really much better in the
United States than in Europe. While
In the old world the snail grower gen
orally has but a small piece Of land
on which the snails must be confined
by a fence Of special design, and
where they must be regularly fed, in
this country there is an abundance of
waste land where the creatures might
be successfully raised without atten-
ton, and as they do not wander far
they would not need to be confined.
Mr. Rust states that the Mississippi
valley offers ideal conditions for snail
culture. There Is no reason why
snails should not be used to some ex-
tent as a substitute for oysters. which
they resemble in flavor Their feed
ing habits do not, as in the case of
oysters, involve the possible danger
OF infection with typhoid and other
diseases. Scientific American.

DANGER FROM WHITE WOLVES
No Greater Peril Can Be Encountered
by Those Who Have to Travel
in the Far North.

Writing of his recent adventures in
the Arctic in Harper's Magazine, Don
aid b. Macmillan tells of a dramatic
meeting of his sledge team with pack
of white wolves.
Il thought we had better move
while we could, so ! ordered the men
to pack up their sledges and drive
over tc the battlefield. After going
a short distance, yell from Pecan
wah-to turned our attention toward
the south. Could we believe our eyes!
It was like a picture from one of the
old books on travel in Siberia. Twelve
white wolves were leaping over the
snow directly at us. Fiction would
have us now fighting for our lives,
knives between teeth and rifles con-
stantly going On the contrary, we
prayed that they would not stop, but
keep coming on. Undoubtedly they
would have done so had we been able
to control our dogs, who were now
wild with excitement, whining, yelp-
Ing and straining on the traces. We
houted and threatened and dashed with
the whip, at the same time holding
back with all our strength on the up
ISLANDERS of the sledge. The leader of
the band stopped, surveyed us criti-
cally for an instant and wheeled, fol-
lowed by the others. By the time that
we could tear the covers from the
rifles they were out of range.
Il have no compunction whatever in
shooting at these sneaking towards
of the animal world Axel Helberg
land is infested with them, their tracks
being found intermingling with those
of the muskox and white caribou. A
mother and her young are surrounded,
worried to death and torn into pieces.
During Syerdrup's expedition the
wolves came into camp, attacked and
killed some Of the dogs and later, on
the trail, even attacked one of the men
who had no other weapon to defend
himself with than a ski. No animal
in the North is so enduring, none has
such a wide range and none an easier
existence, their food being muskoxen,
caribou, Arctic hare, jennings and
possibly foxes. There is also every
evidence to believe that wolves prey
upon seals along the ice foot"
