Two dflys passed and not * mink had" been near, but the bait was gone out of the steel trap, and also from two of the mink-traps. Witty his usual persever ance, Jad rebaited them and waited. The bait was again eaten ant of most of his mink-traps, and, what was more ex asperating, another mink had been caught and eaten. Jad's patience now nearly gave way, and he was tempted to tear his traps up. Out uo second thought he resolved to try ones mors. He would baft only the fox- trap.

Did you ever wrestle with a hen that had a wild, uncontrollable djesiriLia jn- cnbate? Did you ever struggle on, day after day, trying to convince her that her mission was to furnish eggs for your table instead' of hovering all day on a door-knob, trying, to hatch out a litter of front doors 1 William H. Boot, of this place, who haa made the hen a study, both in her home life and while lying in the embrace of death, has struck up an argument which tfaer average -fccu wilL pay more attention to than any other he has dis covered in his researches. He says tha modem hen ignores almost every tiling when she once gets the notion that she is called upon to incubate. Ton can deluge her with the garden-hose, or throw old umbrellas at her, or change her nest, but that don't count with the firm and stubborn heu. You can take the eggs out of the nest and pot a blooded bull-dog or a nest of new-laid bumble bees is plaas of them. oualy aa aba did before. William H.

The Now York World thus explains how a person crossing the equator st the 180th meridian losea one day out o his life, and why: In time each day be gins at midnight ; in place, at the 180tb meridian. When it is' rnidifight at Greenwich it will be, lot us aay, Wednes day for 180 deg. east and. Tuesday for 180 deg. west, the 180th gaeridian divid ing the two days.

There was also an sbumlanoe of mnaller gome to ba bad for tba trapping and this fall Jad was anticipating no end of enjoyment in the warm Indian ’ summer days, trapping for “ musquash” (muskrat) And mink along Benny brook, which ran peat the clearing half a mile iway in the woods. His father had helped him make his traps, and on his wry first visit ba was greatly elated by Jnding a sleek and glossy mink in one of them. .This piece of good luck had set Jad naif wild, for mink skins brought a high price nt the “big settlement,” twenty^ five miles down the country, where his father always went to do his trading. Jad watched his traps eagerly as a miser watches his money bags. But with all hi?vigilance, what was Ids dis may to find, one morning, in the ttop farthest up stream, that a mink hail back caught and taken out by »omo wild beast and devoured. The tail and little featb- erly clumps of fur lay scattered alxtut the trap. Dire vengeance against jhe wild marauder at once possessed his heart.
