Tho Fisi.ern,an and the Fox.

Dear Uncle Jed: 4 fisherman had made a hut by riverside, that he might fol- low his occupation of fishing. Now one night he had gone out to look after his nets. 1saving a small fire in his hut, and when he came back behetd there was a fox in the cabin, taking the liberty to eat one of the finest salmon he had taken. "fzo, Mir. RehBer !' said the fisherman, drawing his sword, and standing in the doorway to prevent the foxs escape, you shall presently die !'
 ;, The poor fox looked for some hoIs to get out through, but saw none, where upon he pulled down with his teeth a mantle which was lying on the bed and dragged it across the f1rs. The fisher man ran to snatch his mantle from the fire, and the fox flew out at the door with the salmon.

A Narrow Escape.

Dear Uncle Jed Mary and her brother John lived with their mother and father at the foot ef very steep mountain. Oftentime the children would climb the high rocks or play hide and seek among them.
 One. day as they were playing Mary was descending very high rock when all of a sudden her foot slipped and down she went.
 It was lucky for her that there was a lot of nice soft moss below. for that was her landing place. John ran to the res cue and within a few moments they had reached the house.
 Mother put Mary to bed and bandaged her knee, which she had scraped in her fall. The next day everything was al right again, but Mary never climbed the rocks again. ADELAIDE TRACY, Age ii. Norwich

Of living, the American Institute OF Meat
Packers announced to-day.
With the export market for meat shat
tered by adverse foreign exchange and

year or two ago, the American con-
sumer is chiefly responsible, the insti-
tute's bulletin on February conditions
says.
Eat home there was good volume of
pork trade during the month" the bull
letin says, "but consumers seemed to
want the choice and higher priced cuts.
High wages in the South have led to
purchase OF choicer cuts Of pork than
in former years, and the result is lack
of sale for heavier cuts of salt pork"
Hog prices early in the month we're at
the highest level of the winter. with re-
ceipts al the yards is to 20 per cent be-
low normal, despite the fact that gov.
ernment reports show there probably is
large surplus on the farms
In the beef market a factor which
has had great influence upon the beef
trade has been the relatively strong de-
mand for hind quarter beef and the poor
demand for forequarter beef" the pack
ers state.
The mutton situation is similar. The
report says: "A larger demand from the
housewife for cuts from the shoulder
and stew meat would help in equaIizing
prices of all cuts
