Are Foxes Vegetarians?

Foxes are not generally accredited with vegetarian instincts. You never see their tracks, as you see those of rabbits, around young oak tree shoot which has been nibbled down to the tough stem. But Aesop evidently thought otherwise when he wrote his fable of. f.the sour grapes, and there is plenty of testimony that Aesop was right. Foxes do eat wild grapes. as many observers have testified. climb
 ing a considerable way to get them, and probably at times they eat berries and perhaps apples. have found their tracks, at any rate. beneath apple trees. have also been confidently as
 sured that they eat the persimmons in Virginia, that the "or houn' dawgs" know how good this fruit is. too. and if you wish to find the very best bee tree take "dawg" with you. - Walter Prichard Eaton in Harper's Magazine

FLOATING ISLANDS.
Japan Has . Lake of Them, and They
 Sometimes Capsizo.

JApan Has . Lake of Them, and They
 Sometimes capsize.
 In Yamagata, Japan, is a small lake called the Lake of the Floating Is- lands, discovered about the year 134O, which has from that time attracted the attention of many poets and liter ary men. A report on the mysterious movements of these islands, drawn up by party under Professor s. Kusa- kabe, is published in the science re ports of the Tohoku Imperial univer- sity.
 The floating islands, which at times number no fewer than sixty, are found to be continually changing their posi- tions, moving. first one way and then the other. In the first series of obser. vations wooden floats were placed in the lake. showing the distribution of the various currents. Subsequently a model of the lake was constructed, and it was found possible closely to repro. duce the various movements of the surface. When both water and wind currents were taken into account the actual behavior of the islands was found to be quite in accordance with theory and experiment.
 The islands originate from masses of vegetable debris. which are first car. ried to the surface by bubbles of gas; then reeds commence to grow from seed on them. Sometimes the mass becomes topheavy and overturns, and reeds grow on the other side. until the island has grown sufficiently large in extent to secure stability.

THE TRIPLE ATTACK.

Perhaps the most bombastic utter ance of anyone responsibly connect ed with the European war was Win ston Churchills threat to dig out the German navy Hike rats out Of hole" There have been plenty of boastful pronunciamentos, but few of them have even approached the flu tility of this.
 The German navy is so strongly protected by mines and by it's sub- marine outriders that any attempt by the British to cooperate in force against it would undoubtedly be fla tai to the attackers. Even the great superiority of the British in ships and guns could not avail against the projections which the Germans have placed so skillfully.
 That the British admiralty appreci- ates these conditions is evidenced by the nature of the recent attack on Cuxhaven. It was a triple attack, by aircraft, warships and submarines. It undoubtedly did some damage. But no important British vessel was risk ed in the hazardous undertaking. The only ships, aside from the submarines, were small cruisers, the destruction of which would be no severe loss. Practically all the damage was done by the aviators, the convoy of ships merely serving them as a base from which to start their operations.
 If the Cuxhaven affair is measure of MT. Churchill's ability to "dig out the German navy, it would have been better to keep the ships and the fly CTS at home The only result seems to be a new proof of the inability of the British to accomplish anything until the Germans are ready to come out and fight Even as a measure of retaliation for the German attack on Hartlepool and Scarborough, the Cuxhaven exploit was inadequate The German squadron of the large cruisers which crossed the North Sea and boldly bombarded the English cities performed far more notable and more picturesque feat, even though the practical gain was as in significant as that won by the Brit 'ish at Cuxhaven.-Ex.

TEST OF A POSTMASTER.
His Speech, Whether 1t Be Good or
 Bad. Should Be Very Brief.

odO, 0HOuIO DC very oTieI.
 To the average man an invitation to make few remarks after dinner is at once terror and secret pride. To be asked to be the tOastmaster at big dinner is usually taken as recognition of wit and knowledge.
 The toastmaster's speech should be very brief. If he is q good speaker himself q speech of any considerable length imposes unfair competition upon the real speakers, usually visiting guests, whom he is to introduce. If the toastmaster is poor speaker be bores the audience and the waiting guests as we'll And in any event every minute occupied by the toast master is a robbery of the time of the real speakers of the evening, and an after dinner speaker may have a real message that delivery, and the long drawn introduction, with side lights and anecdotes, will really cheat the audience of something worth while.
 The toastmaster has task of courte- sy-to prepare the diners for the man who is to speak, to tame and train the audience into proper frame of mind and to turn it over to the speaker in formed as to his identity, prejudiced in his favor little perhaps, but cer- tainly not in the reaction following a laugh raised by the toastmaster.-Bos ton Globe.

 ond Balkan war. The certainty that Greece will come to her aid is not enough for Rumania, as the attack of the Bulgars from the rear might re- suit in the ravaging of the country before the aid of the Greeks would be effective. With the Italians in the war and willing to send troops to Servia to protect the Servian from tier from invasion by the Bulgars and to threaten an invasion of Bulgaria, the Rumanians would have greater confidence in the outcome as Bulgar- ia would then be threatened on three sides by the armies of Servia, Ru- mania, Greece and Italy.

MILITARY TRAINING.

The military problem of the United States appears to involve the train ing of large body of men without maintaining large standing army or cultivating an aggressive spirit ot militarism. One of the best sugges- tions along this line comes from Princeton University. President Hib- ben proposes that the students shall receive training in military practice and theory along with their college work. General Leonard Wood is heartily in favor of the plan, and sug- gests governmental cooperation.
 It would be intolerable, of course, to turn our colleges, into military schools, forsaking culture for the ideals of the camp. Nothing of the sort is proposed. It is merely sug- gested that students be given an op' portunity. to devote a small part of their time to such activity.
 Every college has it's gymnasium and its athletic field, excellent places for drill. Every student of normal physique undergoes a course of phy- sical instruction. There is no reason why military drill should not be combined with gym" work to the ad- vantage of the students. Along with the physical exercise entailed by drill, the knowledge of army maneuvers, tactics and organization that might be gained would at least do no harm. Students who cared to specialize in the work could pursue additional courses under officers provided by the United States army, and could participate in the military instruction camps established few years ago and already we'll patronized by col lege men.
 Students are presumably excellent material for officers. and officers are the chief need of a nation that de- pends for it's defense on volunteer soldiers. If the opportunity were of- fered, g good part of the men grad uating from the large colleges and state universities would be able, in case of need, to step easily into the regular army organization and rem

Little Fiahting In West.

PARIS, Jan. 30.-The only activity today along the battle line in France was at Soissons, where the Germans made two smashing attacks upon the French positions in an effort to break through the line and cross the river Aisne. The savage attacks of the Germans were met and repulsed, the kaiser's forces being forced to flee. Both sides lost heavily as the fight ing was the most desperate of the war. The Germans massed large number of heavy siege guns and field pieces in position where they could shell the part of the line upon which they intended to deliver the attack. Many thousand were killed in the French trenches, but when the in- fantry attack was made enough men remained in the bomb proof cells to protect the trenches until the arriv- al of the French endorsements. The Germans were subjected to terrific cross-fire in making the assault The French field pieces and machine. guns slashed through the lines of charging Teutons, making the battlefield a small hell. The fighting continues and neither side dare go out to pick up the wounded except under cover of darkness.

How to Disinfect Your
Linen
Linen

TN Of measles scarlet and other infectious
diseases it is highly important that the linen used
u by the patient should be disnfected at once,
caly when the laundry work is done outside the home
Otherwise it may become source Of danger to the
persons handling it, it may infect the hampers In
which 1t is stored carried.
Physicians suggest two three simple but effective
methods accomplish this purpose One OF the best
is to moisen with weak solution copper sulphate,
the zone twentieth" This sterilzes without injuring
and the faint blue tinse left is removed by washing.
Calcium chloride is likewise effective, but it smells
strongly of chlorine which is often Objectionable.
In hospitals two per cent. solution Of cresy
iene is employed to sprinkle the objects. This
pletely sterilizes in twentyfour hours.
