Daddy Fox was devoted to Mother
Fox. He had brought her food and
had seen that she had eaten il at the
time when her mind was on the little
baby foxes.
When the little baby foxes were
very, very young, Mother Fox was
along with them because she wanted

Mother Fox had three dear small
children and was very proud Of them.
They had been born In the good old

were born and they were black in

Tidal O

Some of the finest grindstones in the
world come from the bottom Of the
Bay OF Fundy. The stone-cutters
there have a simple method Of NOV
ing them to the shore. Workmen
quarry the stones from the solid rock
when the tide is out and fasten them
to a large iat-bottoIned boar.
The tides in the Bay of Fundy are
the highest in the world. They rise
from so to 70 feet and rush in with
great swiftness. The tide lifts the
fiat boat with the stones attached. The
workmen bring the boat ashore and re-
o the stones at their leisure when
the tide is out.
