Differs i'm the Sexes.

: ain normal, well-balanced persons
there is certain relation between the
element of fear and the element u
courage. Fear is an emotion eSlstlhg
for the purpose of promoting caution
and in primitive days and in animals
tends to self-preservation. Anger Gu
riosity and courage are factors which
oppose fear and flight. When knoWi-
edge, experience, repetition, nha'iy
limit Or delimit the action of these TWO
opposing instincts and emotions, con-
scious action is carried out with under
standing according to the inherent re-
actions.
"Woman was made with the etemenT
of fear and caution more prohouhce9
than in man, because woman, l1e
mother, was not supposed to be the
fighter. Man, primitive man, the~nght,
er, was more endowed with courage.

RABBIT PELTs IN DEMAND

Coming Winter Months.

In recent years several kinds or

offer no inducement to the tranper'

profitable.
Rabbit pelts, which are extensively
used by hat makers, are among THESE
products. Formerly rabbit skins were
of virtually no value; country boys
who eagerly sought the lair OF the
skunk and the raccooU and whe were
even able to sell squirrel skins,
thought so little of the rabbit ana
made so little effort to dispose or
the skins that they were seldom used
EXCEPT to form pad OH which they

worth something, and the country 10y

The skins are usually sold by the

The county of Northampton cele-

Very early on White Monday, bands
of men are stationed at the 'by-ways
OF the parish, who demand toll of all
pedestrians. Should they refuse they
are seized, holsted on a stout pole, and
carried to the village amidst the
cheers and jeers of the spectators.
The origin Of the "cheese rolling"
which takes place yearly in the quiet
little village of Birdlip, in the Chel-
tenham district, is lost, like many
more, in the mists Of antiquity, but
local sentiment forbids it dying out. A
substantial round cheese is set rolling
