Don,esticating SiIper Fox

The United States Department Of Ag.
riculture has issued a bulletin on the
silver fox industry, in which it says
that as a fur animal propagated In
captivity the silver fox has no equal.
Beginning in 1887, when Sir Charles
Dalton and Robert Oulton conducted
their first experiments on a small Is.
land off the eastern coast of Canada,
the growth of this industry has been
so steady that today 1t occupies a
strong position In live animal hus-
bandry In the United States. Rapid

timber. together with the heavy In.
crease In population and growing de-

Courage CrotDning Virtue

Courage is gem of the first water.
Its association is with the brave and
noble. Its contrast is the coward and
his meanness. It Is the virtue that
makes the difference between a true
man and one living below the line OF
his privileges.
Courage means something more than
bravery. Bravery belongs TO the bat.
tieheid, but courage moves in quiet
places and grows like the ferns. rather
in the shade. II takes grit to be cour.
ageous. II Is more telling than thrill.

Nicotine, not less of 1t, but more, is

reversal of usual tobacco requirements

Reason IN Animals

Whether animals think or not Is q
moot question among philosophers and
scientists. The higher animals show
considerable intelligence In certain
matters, such as In getting food and
escaping from enemies. Modern science
Is inclined to think that the difference
between the intelligence of human be-
ings and animals is one of degree and
not of kind. In animals instinct plays
a much larger part than 1t does In
people.-Pathf1nder Magazine
