CUNNING OF MUSKRATS.

Foresight With Which These Ani
mals Build Winter Home * .
In the mouth of March , before the
rivers have opened , on the snow around
Ithe heads of the creeks and about the
( airholes in the thick ice may be seen
Ithe curious trail of the muskrat It
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks , heavily and slowly
Impressed and the sharp after drag of
the long , scaly , bladelike tail. All
( through the cold winter months these
'heavily ' furred animals have lived
, wann and comfortable in their well
tconstmcted houses , rearing their third '
and last litter. One house erected >
jabout September seemed planned with ,
almost human foresight. Here , with ,
; their long sharp teeth and strong , inch ,
! long claws , they had cut and cleared ;
wide paths through all the marshes
-Enths so deep that three feet of ice did
not close them , so wide that we have
often paddled along them , marveling
at the great floating masses of torn up
cquatic vegetation. These paths were
a hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through a mass of
rtangled cover high enough in most
places to thoroughly conceal a duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
-from their houses into these under ice
channels , and the whole marsh is be-
'fore ' them to choose their meal from.
jThe long yellow roots of the flag and
, the juicy tubers of the wild onion ( the
( muskrat apple is the more poetic Ojib-
hang exposed before them or are

The twin boys , Johnny and Tommy ,
not only looked almost exactly alike ,
and could wear each other's clothes
without the slightest rnisrit , but usuai-
ly weighed the same , there being a
difference of not more than an ounce
or two between them , notwithstanding
the efforts they were always rc/lkiug to
outweigh each other.
' 'Torn , " said his brother one day ,
"let's go and get weighed. I believe I
can beat you this time. "
Tommy agreed , and they went to the , J
grocery store where these contests were
usually decided.
"You get on the scales first , " said
Johnny.
Tommy complied , and his weight
was found to be sixty-eight pounds ,
twelve ounces.
Then Johnny took his turn. He
tipped the scales at exactly sixty-nine
pounds.
"That ain't fair ! " exclaimed Tommy.
"And It don't count ! I forgot about
that big boil on your arm ! "

_ "There's e. Reason"
It is stated that the corning report
< f Frank P. Sargent , Commissioner
General of Immigration , will show
rhat the total number of immigrants
idmitted during the year ending June
TO , 1907 , was over 1,400,000 , or 200-
"XK ) in excess of the number that came
luring the preceding year. Mr. Sar
gent does not agree with some mem
bers of the Congress Immigration Com-
uission that undesirable immigrants
come from particular localities , such
as Italy , Syria and Asia Elinor. He
says that our need of laborers necessi
tates our taking such nationalities as
come , and it is impossible to exclude
all the Ilunt-hakipts and Black Hand
people who come in with the others ,
but we must have laws which will as
far as possible exclude such persons
from the country. Regarding the di
version of the tide of immigration , Mr.
Sargent says that it is impossible to
divert the growing influx into such a
place as New York in a day or a year ,
although gradually the tide is turning ,
to the South , the Southwest and the'
Xortjnvest , and it is only a question of
lime when foreigners will learn -that
they can do better in smaller places
han in the big cities.
The post-office profits slightly by the.
destruction of stamps which have been-
paid for , and the Treasury gets the
benefit of bills which are lost -and nev-
1 found. A larger source of irregular
profit lies in the failure ot bondholders
to present their bonds for redemption.
I'nc-laimed money in the Treasury due
to bondholders amounted to nearly a
million dollars in 18G1 , and the sum is
"inch greater now. Of a loan which :
Jell due in 1000 , the sum of thirty-two
thousand dollars remains unclaimed.
Nearly n hundred thousand dollars are
still unpaid of the five per cent bonds-1
which were due in 1904. This year over
a hundred million thirty-year four per
cent bonds t-ame due on July 1. Spe
cial inducements were offered to se-
'tire ' early redemption. Yet at the end
of the month thirteen million dollars
= tiil stood in the Treasury on this ac-
ouut. although interest has ceased.
Railroads , of the middle west are
charged Vith conspiring to ruin the
large creamery interests in seven states
and territories in a complaint filed be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. It is held that business aggregat
ing $14,000,000 annually , besides mil
lions' worth of equipment , will be ruin
ed because of conspiracy. The com
plainants are dairy companies of Iowa ,
Nebraska , Missouri , Colorado , Okla
homa , Wyoming , Kansas and South Da
kota , collectively producing 00,000,000
pounds of butter annually. The com
plaint charges that the railroads agreed J j
on an increase of rates for transport
ing cream amounting from GG to 140 !
per cent. The increase was announced ;
to go into effect Sept. 1. but the cream
eries were granted an injunction in the
federal circuit court until the commis
sion investigates the charges.
The Navy Department is reported to
have made successful experiments at
Newport with the invention of a
Frenchman designed to protect war
ships from submarine mines. The
mechanism depends upon magnetic pow
er , but its precise nature is kept se
cret. Mines such as would be laid by
an enemy were blown up long before
the ship carrying the apparatus crossed
the explosive field.
At last the order to test the horse
manship of all officers on duty at the
War Department has been issued. It
requires that these ollicers shall report
to a board of surgeons before their ride
is undertaken , and if any are found
not fit they may be excused. The test
ride will be fifteen miles , the first five
at a walk , the second five at a trot and
the finish at a gallop.

Variations of CartlN.
There are an enormous number of
possible variations of cards in card
games. Every man when he takes up
his cards at whist holds one out of
G35,013j3900 : ; possible hands. The
total number of variations possible
among all players is so great as almost
to exceed belief. It has been calculated
that if a million men were engaged in
dealing cai'ds at the rate of one deal
every minute day and night for 100-
000,000 years they would have exhaust
ed only a hundred-thousandth part of
the variations of the cards.

In his book "From the Cape to

Kungu fly , which is peculiar to Lake
Nyassa , resembles small May liies ,
and at certain seasons of the year they
rise from the water in such stupendous
clouds that they blot out the whole
horizon. Seen in the distance they
have exactly the appearance of a rain
storm coming across the lake. When
they are blown landward they make
every place uninhabitable by the
stench which arises from the countless
millions that lodge and die on every
Inch of sheltered ground. I myself
have seen them lying a foot deep In
a room , and I was told that they are
often much worse. The natives sweep
them up and makes cakes of them.
"Biting and poisonous ants are an
other pest , but the mosquito is the
great enemy of man. It was abso
lutely necessary to turn in half an
hour before sunset and to make all
the preparations for the night. I piled
all my belongings round the edge ot
my net and kept a green wood fire
burning at each end , anC then I lay
inside , smoked the native tobacco and
prayed for morning. As soon as the
sun went down the mosquitoes started
operations.
"It was like having a tame whirl
wind in one's tent. They could not
possibly have been worse. Every night
200 or 300 contrived to enter my net
I have no idea how. The most pernici
ous and poisonous kind was a very
small black mosquito that might pos
sibly have penetrated the mesh. I used
to turn out in the morning perfectly
dazed from the amount of poison that
had been injected during the night. "

Why take sickening ; salts or repulsive'
castor oil ? "Goes through you like a
dose of salts" means violence , grips , gripe § , gases ,
soreness , irritation , and leaves your stomach and bowels
weak and burnt out. Might -just as well take , - concentrated
trated lye. Then there's castor oil , disgusting , jiauseat-
ing truck that your stomach refuses unless yOu disguise
the taste. Fool your own stomach , eh ? Don't ever
believe that anything offensive to your taste or smell Is
going to do you real good. Nature makes certain ,
things repulsive , so you will not take them. Force

of his body , and then one came on his

from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. Pie got to be a mere skele
