OP MUSKEATS.
ForeIgrht "With "Which These Ani
mals Build "Winter Homes.
In the month of March , before the
rivers have opened , on the snow around
Ithe heads of the creeks and about the
lairholes In the thick ice may be seen
| the curious trail of the muskrat. It
jean readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks , heavily and slowly
Impressed and the sharp after drag of
jthe long , scaly , bladelike tail. All
ithrougb. the cold winter months these
'heavily ' furred animals have lived
, warm and comfortable in their well
Kxmstrueted 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
. .f
. long elaws , they had cut and cleared
wide- paths through all the marshes
aths 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
equatic 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.
( The long yellow roots of the flag and
the juicy tubers of the wild onion ( the
( muskrat apple is the more poetic Ojib-
way ) hang exposed before them or are
reaxDly torn out. Bonuycastle Dale in

The twin boys , Johnny and Tommy ,
not only looked almost exactly alike ,
and could wear each other's clothes
without the slightest misrit , but usuai-
ly weighed the same , there being a
difference of not more than an ounce
1 or two between them , notwithstanding
' the efforts they were always m/lking to
' outweigh each other.
' 'Tom , " 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 ,
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. Ue
tipped the scales at exactly sixty-nine
pounds.
"That ain't fair ! " exclaimed Tommy.
"And it don't count ! I forgot about

It Is stated that the coming report
f Frank P. Sargent , Commissioner
ircneral of Immigration , will show
that the total number of immigrants
idmitted during the year ending June
: iO , 1907 , was over 1,400,000 , or 200-
XX ) in excess of the number that came
luring the preceding year. Mr. Sar
gent does not agree with some mem-
> ers of the Congress Immigration Com-
nission that undesirable immigrants
come from particular localities , such
as Italy , Syria and Asia Minor. He
says that our need of laborers necessi
tates our taking such nationalities as
come , and it is impossible to exclude
all the Ilunchakists 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'
Northwest , and it is only a question of
time when foreigners will learn -that
they can do better in smaller places
ban in the big cities.
The postofllce profits slightly by the.
destruction of stamps which have been-
paid for , and the Treasury gets the'
benefit of bills which are lost nnd nev-
T found. A larger source irregular
profit lies in the failure of bondholders
to present their bonds for redemption ,
rnelaimed money in the Treasury due
to bondholders amounted to nearly a
. Million dollars in 1SG1 , and the sum is \
"uich greater now. Of a loan which
fell due in 15)00 , the sum of thirty-two
thousand dollars remains unclaimed.
Nearly u hundred thousand dollars are
still unpaid of the five per cent bonds-1
which were due in 1004. This year over
i hundred million thirty-year four per
cent bonds came due on July 1. Spe
cial inducements were offered to se
cure early redemption. Yet at the end
of the month thirteen million dollars
still stood in the Treasury on this ac-
ounr , although interest has ceased.

bre the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. It is held that business uggregat-

ed because of conspiracy. The com-
) lainants are dairy companies of Iowa ,
Nebraska , Missouri , Colorado , Okla-

jlaint charges that the railroads agreed 1
on an increase of rates for transport- <
ng cream amounting from GG to 140

o go into effect Sept. 1. but the cream-
rirfs were granted an injunction in the

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
I 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 oliicers 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.

A Chicago man tells of a resident of

In one venture after another. At last ,
however , he made a large sum of money
by means of an invention in car wheels ;
and very scon thereafter his family ,
consisting o/ his wife and two young
daughters , were to be seen taking their
daily outing in a motor cac.
One day the three were being driven
rapidly through the park , while a look
of painful self-consciousness over
spread the features of the inventor's
wife , as she sat bolt upright , looking
straight before her.
"Now , ma. " came in clear tones from
one of the daughters , whose keen face
was alive with enjoyment , "now , : na ,

Variations of
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
G3o,0iao50.000 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 cards 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
Cairo , " E. S. Grogan writes : "The
Kungu fly , which is peculiar to Lake
Nyassn , resembles small May flies ,
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 , and 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. "
