Marten Kin of Weasel;
About as Large as Mink

The marten belongs to the weasel
family and is carnivorous. It is
about as big as a mink and differs
but little in form from the latter,
save that its feet are larger and
hairy to the toes and its tail is some
what larger and dark brown col
or. The fur of the American Pine
marten is generally Of a yellowish
brown color, but varies greatly ac-
cording to latitude, season and To-
cality. The Hudson's bay and Lake
Superior marten are dark colored.
The favorite haunts Of these ami
mails, according to an authority in
the Montreal Herald, are the thick
dark woods of the cold snowy re-
gions. They, are strictly arboreal
in their habitat They generally live
in hollow trees, but occasionally
they excavate dens in the ground.
They feed on rabbits, birds. squir-
rels. mice and other small ami
mails; are fond of beech nuts and it
is said resemble the bear in their
fondness for honey. They are active
climbers. us
It is thought that a marten exists
in the northwestern part of British
America. which if not the same is
very closely allied to the Russian
sable.
The color of the Russian sable is
a rich brown slightly mottled with
white about the head. and having
a gray tinge about the neck.

Dickens Had Little Schooling

Charles Dickens never went to

eat. When Dickens first came to
America in 1912, he dazzled the
populace with his scarlet vests and

Antaeus. Giant WrestIer

In Greek mythology Antaeus was
a gigantic wrestler (son Of Earth

strength was invincible so long as
he touched the earth, and when he
was lifted from it, his strength
renewed by touching it again. It
was Hercules who succeeded in kill
ing this charmed giant, by lifting
him from the earth and squeezing
him to death.

few spats that will amount to lit

Your daughter in-law has not
caused your son any trouble of any
kind and the less you see of them
both, the better off they will be.

1t was deep in September and
each morning, now, film of ice
reached out from the shores of the
bars where John and Alan still
worked with sluice and shovel and
pan while the others were busy sew
ing hooded coats, breeches and leg
gings, sleeping-bags and smoke
tanned moccasins for use on the
snow; pounding pemmican and stor-
ing it in bags, and stringing the
bows of SnoWShoes with rawhide.
The narrow. ten-foot toboggan sled
with its wrapper Of deer skin and
the dog-harness, hung in tree wait
ing for the long trail up the Kok-
soak with its load of 20-pound bags
of yellow dust and nuggets and still
more precious food for man and
dog. Before the water grew too cold
and silt ice stopped them, John and
Alan worked on the eddjes in the
gorge and filed two more skin bags
with large nuggets and flake gold.

The roulette wheel has made
Monte Carlo perhaps the most num-
ber-conscious community in the
world. People there have ever-alert
eyes for numbers between one and
thirty-siX; they are always search
ing for portents, omens, indica-
tions from above which will re-
veal to them which number will be
favored by fate at the casino that
day. Generally, people bet on the
day of the month, the number of the
hotel room, or their age, writes
David Even in the Globe Magazine.
Motor car licenses, when they
have a striking repetition of one
digit, will frequently inspire people
to borrow that number for the day.
When, during the last automobile
sweepstake race in Monte Carlo,
car No. II came in first there was a
preponderance of betting on that
number that evening at the casino;
and by a curious coincidence No.

Christmas CONNECTIONS
We can scarcely speak of the
holiday diet, particularly where
children are concerned, without
saying a word about Christmas
CONNECTIONS and other goodies.
These are a part of the holiday
tradition. No homemaker would
wish to deprive her family of such
pleasures, but it does devolve
upon her to simplify the other
meals in the day so that her chill
dren do not suffer when they eat
large holiday dinner.

the afternoon, the van of the great

For hours the absorbed McCord,

could select the fattest for meat
and the best fauns and yearhngs
for clothing as they passed. He and
Noel had already shot, dressed and
skinned a number from the scat
tering bands and placed them in a
cache upstream.
While the rest of the hungry hunt
ers revelled in deer chops, Noel and
the Naskapi roasted the head and
