Muskrat Lore.

The feed of the muSkrat consists OF
grasses, apples, bark Of trees, water
plants, carrots, turnips, cabbage and
corn, and crayfish.
Although millions of these brown
colored rats are trapped each year for
their fur, the number does not seem
to decrease. When the fur is made In
to clothing it is called Russian mink
or Baltic seal.
One of the ways of trapping the
muskrat is to set trap three or four
inches below the surface of water in
a place where he has been in the habit
of leaving the water. In this way ne
will step into the trap as he under
takes to leave the water. Still anoth-
er way is to place the trap just below
the entrance into his home. Some
trappers use apples or turnips as bait.
The home quarters is usually quite
large cavity and contains much grass
and sticks. During the first two or
three weeks of the life Of the young
the mother muSkrat does not leave the
hcme but depends upon the male to
furnish the feed supply.

"Ginger for pluck" is an old saying

the bestowal of military decorations
for bravery, observes London An

Of demolished Ypres last Christmas
eve," writes a British officer, that /
was first impressed by the large num-
Der of red-haired men who were re-
ceiving the military medal.
"Since that afternoon l have noted
the complexion Of every officer and
man wearing a military decoration,
and the impression made at Ypres
has been strengthened in consequence.
There must be something in the old
saying, for wherever soldiers are
gathered together there is a red
haired, beribboned man in the midst
of them.
'"Take our most famous fighting di-
vision-the invincible Fifty-tirSt. This

FORCED TO OBSERVE SABBATH
Church Attendance, Until Comparative.
iy Recent Times, Was CompuI-
sorry in Great Britain.

Numerous laws in this country, Can
ada and Great Britain forbid various
acts of work, and play on Sunday, but
not since the lapse Of the blue laws
of colonial days have Americans been
forced by legislation to 60 to church
OIL the Sabbath. an exchange says, In
England, however. it was not until the
middle Of the last century, during the
reign of Queen Victoria, that all pen
alties for nonattendance at religious
services were abolished. Some unusual
incidents attended the enforcement OF
the regulations, particularly upon the
Hebrews.

visions of the law until 1871 and multi

bath. In the hlirteenth century, it is
recorded Jew of Tewkesbury fell in
to a sewer on a Saturday. Although
almost submerged, he woald not permit
himself to be drawn out, believing that
to do so would be to violate the sancti-
ty of the holy day. On the following
morning he was quite ready to be re-
moved from his perilous plight, but the
authorities. out of reverence for the
Christian Sabbath, would not permit
the unfortunate man to be rescued un-
til after sunrise on Monday, when he
was found to be dead.
AS late as 1880 there were per-
sons in English prisons whose only
crime was refusal to attend divine serv-
ice. One of them was young man
who had been convicted at the insti'
CATION of his own mother, who appear
ed against him. In 1917 Sir Montague
Burgoyne was hailed into court to ex-
plain why he had neglected his rellg-
ious duties. Rigid Sunday observance
in England began during the reign Of
Edgar, in the tenth century, when the
Sabbath day was ordained to be kept
holy from three o'clock on Saturday
afternoon until sunrise on Monday.
The most innocent actions were con-
demned, and death was the extreme
penalty for continued violation of the
law. About three centuries ago parlia-
nerit passed law imposing a fine of
one shilling for remaining away from
church on Sunday, unless some good
excuse was forthcoming. This act re-
manned in. effect until comparatively
recent times, and inability or unwilling

FACTS OF MOST IMPORTANCE
Those Which Tell Best About Past
and Future States Of Object,
Asserts Ruskin.

It ought further to be observed re-
specting truths in general, that tEcse
are always most valuable which are
most historical, that is. which tell us
most about the past and future states
Of the object to which they belong.
In a tree, for instance. it is more i'm,
portant to give the appearance of en-
ergy and elasticity in the limbs which
Is indicative of growth and life, than
any particular character of leaf or tex
ture of bough. 1t is more important
that we should feel that the upper
most sprays are creeping higher and
higher into the sky, and be impressed
with the current Of life and motion
which is animating every fibre than
that we should know the exact pitch
of relief with which those fibreS are
thrown out against the sky. For the
first truths tell us tales about the
tree, about what it has been. and will
be, while the last are Characteristic
of 1t only in its present state. and
are in no way taikatiye about them
selves. Talkative facts are always
more interesting and more important
than silent ones. So, again. the lines

Of the lichens, which change year by

Payinu War Debts.

There is no uniform rule of action
regarding the payment of war DEBTS
Some war debts have been entirely
paid off, and others have been greatly
reduced. In 1893, following the. Revo-

United States was SSo,352, ,634. 1t was
reduced year ~ year until 1872, when
it was s45 ,cc9,7s?. During the war Of
1872, it increased until 1916, when
it was s127, ,S34,93S: Then followed a
long period of steady yearly reduction
till in 1885 it stood at the nominal
figure of s37,512, with>"much more
than that balance in the treasury.

Films to Replace Books.

Motion pictures will take the place
of textbooks in schools and colleges,
according to Thomas A. Edison, in an
interview recently. 'The only text
books needed will be for the teachers
own use," declares the inventor OF
the motion picture camera. "A great
film library Of educational and indus
trial subjects should be built up In
Washington. Then these films could
be issued on the rental system to all in
stitutions in the United States, even
to the most remote rural schoolhouses,
and the system could be so operated
that it would pay its own way" AS
serting, that anything which can be
taught to the ear can be taught better
to the eye," Mr.. Edison continued: {:
1.-THE moving object on the screen, the
closest possible approximation to real
ity, is almost the same as bringing
that object itself before the child or
taking the child to that object. Film
teaching will be done without any
books whatsoever. The only textbooks
needed will be for the teachers own
use. The films, will serve as guide
posts to these teacher instruction
books, not the books as guides to the
films" BY making every class room
and every assembly hall movie show,
100 per cent attendance" will be as
sured, Mr.. Edison says. "Why, you
