he got into his sleigh and turned his home's

finish the sentence, but Daddy knew she

was one of the “ missing" when the smoke
of the great battles cleared away. After a
short pause she went on : “ I suppose you
won't mind a little hard work—Mr. Alvoid's
pane-11L: keep l1im so busy that even if he
gets a chance to come home to dinner, he
will have no time to help arrange things."
“ First, I want you to go and bring Jimmy

large, sad, eyes were l'f ed to his face with
strange wondering glances because of the un«
precedented kindness of his words and man-
ncrs, and the unaccountable fact of his being
sober so late in the (lay.
After laying Jimmy upon the lounge the
father went to the woods at Mrs. Alvoid's
whispered request, in search of a nice little
hemlock tree.
Sadie took it upon bemelf to play hostess
to the lame boy. and was feeding him all the
chickembroth, toast and jelly that he could
eat, while Ida, still in a. cloud of wonder-
ment was seated at. the kitchen table dividing
her time between great slim of bread and
butter and a plate of baked apples.
The hemlock being easily found, was soon
transferred from the forest to the center of
the “ best room," as Mm. Alvoid still retain-

called the scldom used parlor. The large
open fire—plane was another of the old time

At last the guests were all assembled, and
Dr. Alvoid, tired, but smiling. carved the
turkey and dealt out generous slices of boiled
11am. Great plates of biscuits disappeared
and the chicken-pie followed. The little
folks were not compelled to wait, in the un-
christian manner, of late, so common; but,
seated with their elders, ihcy strove to an
pear worthy of the position. and,as Mm
Alvoid declared, behaved like ladies and
gentlemen. True, one of the twins asked
for cookie" before it was hardly cake time;
and the other one preferred the I‘uisintsll)
any other part of the rice pudding, and di-
vided his chicken-wing: with Bose, who had
surreptitiously crept under the lable;bu1

aim-orb the oxygen «lixx'olvcd in water. and
also give off chiefly carbonic acid. which is
more read-12y dissolved
oxygen. The apparalm is possessed by mam»
male, birds, etc; the latter. by film; and
as lungs are incapable of taking oxygen out
of water. and gills cannot take it from the
air, in other words, as lungs cannot
breathe wafer, and gills cannot breathe air,
animals with lungs are drowned in water.
while fish are drowned in the air. A small
number of amphibious animals. however,
posxess both lungs, and can therefore breathe
either air or water, and thus live in both.
It has been, however, observed that musk-
mtg and other swimming mammcls with
lungs could travel considerable distance un-
der icc without reaching any breathing hole
on the surface, and it was for a long time a
problem how they succeeded in living so
21mg and travcline so far without. acccso to
the annosphcre. The problem has been an»
swered by S. Newhousc, in a work called the
“ Trapper‘s Guide," from which we extract
the following :
“ Musk rats have a curious method of tra~
vcling long- distances under the ice. In their
winter excursions to their feeding-grounds,
which are frequently at great distances from
their abodes, they take in breath at. starting,
and remain under water as long as they can.
They rise to the ice and breathe out the air
in their lung-2, which remain in bubbles
against the low er surface of the ice. They
wait till this air rccovors oxygen from the
water and ice and then take it in again. and
go on till the operation has to be repeated.
In this way they can travel almost any (lis—
tanec and live an 3' lergzh of time under the
ice.
“ The hunter sometimes takes advantage of
this habit of the muslin! in the following
manner:
“When the; marshes and ponds where the
muskrats abound are first frozen over, and
the ice is thin and clear, on striking into their
houses with his hatchet, for the purpose of
getting his: traps, be frequently secs :1 whole
family plunge into the water and swim sway
under the ice Follow" mg one for same dis-
tance, he 511m come up to renew his
breath in lgjnner above described. ,,
