Tinacs Its Own Size—Other Instances. of the weasel family is the “fisher,” a. very large, long-furrcd polccat, living mainly by the water side, and, like many‘dthers of the tribe, very'partial to fish, says the London Spectator. It weighs about 16 pounds, and its long, richly-colored fur is exported in great quantities to different parts of Europe, though not often used in this country. A trapped “fisher” will attack anyone who comes within reach of the trap chain, and when free will beat off any dog of twice its size. But perhaps the most striking example of the courage of' the smaller species yet recorded is that shown by a small variety of jungle cat known as the fishing cat, which, though no relation to the Canadian “fisher,” is quite as courageous. One of these,which was kept in a menagerie, broke through into the next cage and there attacked a leopard which was three times its own size. The Indian mongoose possesses all the courage of the polecat, together with amiability and a “regulated” mind. It turns its pluck and prowess to good ends, and we imagine it to stand at the head of the list of the'smaller ani- mals if quality as well as quantity is demanded as a mark of intrepidity. There is no doubt that the mongoose realizes the deadly nature of the cobra’s bite. Its intense excitement is strong evidence of this. But a mongoose has been known to fight just as bravely against other foes. One was seen to attack and drive oil" a large greyhound which it fancied was hostile to it. PULLED THEM UP. And Franz, the Guilty One, \‘Vns Per- fectly Placid About the Matter. 1» The woman who has a country house comes to town these days and tells tales of her trials and joys, says the New _York Commercial Advertiser. She came in from Long Island for a day’s shop- ping last week, and after glowing ac- counts of her flower beds and the won« derful kitchen garden she had planned for the summer she said: “We always jhave curious experiences with garden workers and farm hands; not that we Lao much farming, but we have to keep ‘some one to watch over the potatoes and keep an eye on the peas. 3 “This year we have a. fine man and g_ur 33‘ arden is like an English picture. But ~Illranz was not so good when we .got him. He came to help our farm hand, Peter, and Peter set him to work in the onion patch. The Onion patch was the pride of my life. It was flour« ishing as nothing—but weeds—had ev cr flourished in my garden, and I took more interest in its progress than I did in my rose bower. Well, after Franz had been busily bending over the onion patch one morning Peter discovered, to his horror, that his assistant had pulled up all the big onions. Nothing but lit— tle ones remained. ———— “ “When the storm of questions and re- proaches broke over his head Franz said, placidly: ‘Why, the big ones were crowding the little ones. They hadn’t room to grow. I wanted to give them a chance, and I pulled up the big ones.’ " WORMS AND CYCLONES. Are the Gre. itcst Trials of the V.‘ half Owners in Soutliein Sca— bounl Cities. Spring is the time the small white torredo worm does business down south in the wharf piles of cypress wood. The first warm day. of spring the wharf owner looking down into the green water lapping the edge of his pier sees a swarm of floating insects about an inch long and about a yard below the surface. The next guy he looks for them and they are gone, every one—gone into his good piles. They will never be seen again this season: they will come the next. and by the third year the wharf owner will need to put in a new lot of piling. The tor- redo worms eat away steadily until they cut- the hard logs fairly through just below high-water mark. In years past it was the custom in some of the seacoast cities of the south to build wharves of a cribbage of logs, resting on the harbor bottom and packed in with concrete. But the al- most yearly cyclones picked up these coutrivanccs and set them_ down bodily a quarter of a mile uptown in some quiet street. With 70 feet of mud for a bottom and. heavily loaded wharves and the torredo worm working persistently “into the morning,” “the Lord knows,” as :1 Charleston wharf owner said the other day, “what holds us up." Cot-can Punishment. _ A youth in Kunsan, Corea, recently cut his hair to displease his parents. The latter were so enraged and grieved at this conduct that they “looked upon him as dead,” and, calling in their rela: tives and friends. went through the ceremony for the dead, sacrifices were offered, and wailing indulged“ in. The incorrigible y uth was a. stoic specta- tor through it all, sitting quietly by himself, and when tired he made his way to the dispensary of ‘Dr. Drew (from whom the account is drawn) and reported the progress of the services. For a month no notice was taken of the boy by his parents other than giving him his food. He has taken to wearing foreign clothing. Veryy Natural. A little boy and girl were standing at the bedside of a sick mother, who was administering words of caution to the, pair. They were going out to tea, and the mother said, as she kissed her son: “Now, dear, mind and not be too boisterous.” His little sister pensively remarked. as she said good-by: “Muutn’t I be girlstcrpus, momma. 9" In North America one of the largest 1 rl Ii Travels Fast. . ,Good News, in Norwalk [ Travels Nearly as Fast as Bad. Have you 11 card the good news? Heard neighbors talking about it It means a new back for an old one. Not necessarily old in yeais But old in misery. By an 0111 back, we mean a bad back. Bad backs are numerous. Some lame, some weak o1 aching. Most back troubles come from the kidneys. Doan’ s Kidney Pills cui c them all. They 1each the cause. They cure urinary troubles. Norwalk people testify to this. Mr. Chas. E. Warren, son of the well known oyster planter George N. Warren, of 2 Chestnut street, South Norwalk, says: “I had back ache and weak kidneys from early childhood. I. tried all kinds of remedies, but never received any permanent benefit until I commenced using Doan’ s Kidney Pills: My fathe1 had been using them and was so pleased with the iesults that I was 1nduced to t1 y them. I am satisfied they are all that is claimed for them. They cu1ed my back ache and I am glad to tecommend them to anyone who sulfers at times as I did. Glendening & 00., the druggists, have scores of customers to testify just as emphatically about the results re- ceived from Doun’s Kidney Pills, as Mr. Warren’s son. Drop in and see them.

Chicago Real Estate Dealer Make: a Startling Discovery in Hu- man Nature. Two facts hardest for the average man to ciedit are the love of God his Father and unselfish motives on the part of his brother man. I’rof. Graham Taylor, of Chicago, had a startling demonstration, of the latter when he tried to rent a house for his college set- tlement, says the Christian Endeavor W'orld. _ Two brothers had control of the prop- erty, and one of them asked: “What are you going to use it for ‘2” “To live in.” “Yes, but 110w are you going to make your money out of it?” “Don’t expect to make money out of it.” “I mean how are you going to get your expense back?” “Don’t expect to get it back." “What is there in it for you, then?” “Nothing—except a home.” “Do you mean that you are going to live there?” “Exactly.” “Do you mean to say that your peo- ple, who could live on Asliland boule- ' vard, are going to make your home de- liberately down here among Italians and Polacks, in this dirt and smoke?” “That is precisely what I mean.” “And not to have any home but this?” “That exactly.” The young man looked at the pro- fessor a long time, and then, turning to his brother, exclaimed: “Well, brother, there are such péople in the world, I suppose, but this is the first '9! one I ever saw. Nervousness 1h Cows. To most- people. the cow is the most placid. and least excitable animal in the world. When well fed, and not dis- turbed about her calf, she will lie an‘d chew the. cud of contentment for hours, and while thus undisturbed will se- crete all the milk possible from the food she has eaten. Y cf. the domestic cow, if she be a good milkc r, has a capacity for becoming nervous and excitable such as the o; or spayed cow cannot rival. At all times the first-class milch cow must be'a hearty feeder. So long as she is given all she wants, she may be quiet enough. But if placed in a pasture where the food is insufficient or too poor in quality, the cow will soon devel- op‘ roving instincts, and will break through fences in order to get what she likes. The cow that will not do this in case of necessity is of little use for the dairy. —Mid1and Farmer.
