such @ course thatit does net pass near any of the waiting wolves, and only the one that starts it has ary running to da In such a case the pursuit is at once uban- caned. S« and strong thal.it tires out all its purse- ers.

It is a cormmon thing for a corote chase an old doe, with her kids, just after the little ones have begun to run about. Atthat time they are very swift tor short distances, but have not the strength to stand a long chase. In such a case a mvth- erwill often stay behind her young aixi will try to fight off the coyote, butting him with her bead and striking him wich her fore feet. He pays little attention to her, except to snap at her, and keeps en after the kids. Several times I have seen.a mother antelope lead her little ones into the midst of a bed of cactus, where the wolf could pet go without getiing his feet full of thorma. lf the bed is small, she wolf will make ferocious dashes up to its border, trying to frighten the little ones so that. they will run out on the other sice and he can start atcer them again. but usually the mother hes no trouble in hold-

Attention to the Feet.

It is utterly impossible to get well og keep well unless the iect are kept dry and warm all the time. If they are for the most part cold, there is cough, cr sore throat, or hoarseness, or sick headache, er some other annoyance.

If cold and dry, the feet should be soak in hot water for ten minutes every night, and when wiped and dried rub into them well 10 or i5 drops of sweet oil. Do this patiently with the hands, rubbing the oil into the soles of the fect particularly. On getting up in the morning dip both feet at once into water.as cold as the air in the Toom, half ankle deep, for a minute is summer, half a.mninute or less in winter, rubbing one foot with the other, then wipe dry, and if convenient hold them to the fire, rubbing them with the hands until perfectly dry and:warm in every part. li the feet are damp.and cold, attend only te the norning washings, but always at night Temove the stockings and hold the fect te the ire, rubbing thera with the hands for 18 minutes, and get immediately into bed.

Under any cireumstances, as often 4s the feet ure cold enough to attract atten. tioh, draw off the stockings and hold them the fire. If the feet are muchinclined to dampness, put on a pair of dry stockings. Some persons’ feet are more comfortable even in winter in cotton, others in woolen 8teckings. Own feelings. Sometimes two pairsof thin stockings keep the fect warmer than one Pair which is thicker than both. The thin pair may be of the same or of different Materials, and that which is best next the feet should be determined by the feelings of the person.

Persons who walk a great deal during the day should on coming home for the Hight remove their shoes and stockings, hold the fect to the fire until perfectly dry,

NEW PUNCTUATION MARK.

A Badly Nevded Invention Suggested by the Caustic Copy Reader.

“I shall be famous. I have an idea that will send my namo thundering down through the ages,’’ remarked the copy reader,

‘““Huamph!’’ replied the humorist. ‘‘It will be the first idea you have ever had. You spend most of your time destroying the good ideas of others,’’

“Well, that may be, although you never have any idea to destroy, secing that you get those which you have from Joe Miller’s jokebook and the old al-

| Manacs.’’

“Oh, well, let’s have your idea!’’

**To tell the truth, it was euggested to me by you.”

“Ah! I thought as much, and yet yon say’ —

*“Don’t be in too big a hurry. Yoa haven't heard my idea.’’

“What is it?’

“I have invented a punctuation mark for humor. It isintended to show the reader where to laugh. In olden times, you know, the point of the joke used to be printed in italics. Nowadays there is no way to show the point, and, asmany of the jokes, such as yours,

| have no point, it is impossible to print

the point in italics. Now, lsuggest that & punctuation mark be placed at the be- ginning and at the end of eve rything supposed to be funny, so that the reader may be prepared to laugh when he be- gins to read and know when he has reached the point and it is time te laugh. I would suggest that the mark be two little squares placed above the line, and I shall call it by my name. What do you think of that fer an idea? It was suggested by your stuff, asI told you.”’

But the humorist had given the copy reader a look of scorn and had yauished. —Chicago Times-Herald.

Rabbits That Climb. A correspondent writes to the London Field that while he was hunting rabbits with ferrets in January he found rabbits

' on three oceasions in willow trees which

_ overhung the water of a mill stream.

The miller said that it was not an un- usual circumstance, Some months ago The Field told of other rabbits which

had been shot, like raccoons or opos- ' Sums, Out of trees in England. In re-

miserable the rest of my days trying to _ cent years cases of rabbits in trees have

‘been reported with increasing frequency. From Australia has come the most re- markable story of rabbits :as climbers. The only way in which rabbits could be -kept-out of certain tracts of land in

' Australia was by the building of wire

fences about them, the fences having ‘meshes so small ‘that the beasts could not crawl through and being so high that they could not jumpover. The rab- bits have clawed at the wires until their

| mails gradually have become hooked.

Some of the rabbits learned to scale the fences, and then great additional ex- pense was necessary, for‘the top of the fenee had to be bent over Jike a J up- side.down, with the hook -ent, so that the rodents could not get:over the top. Australian rabbits are said to be learn- ing to climb trees for the leaves.

xhe Indian Plague.

In «peaking of the plague The Indian Mirror says: ‘‘How cften have we not be- soughtour countrymen te revive the re- ligious practices enjoined in the Shastras, how often have we not entreated them to celebrate the Yagna ceremonies? The Rishis were far greater sanitarians than those of the modern times calling them- selves by that name. The Rishis also un- derstood the causes of disease better. Let

- these Yagnas be performed simultaneously

in all parts of India, and we undertake to ray that not only will the plague disap- pear, but there will bea sensible mitiga- tion of the famine. Huge fires, lighted in a hundred different places in «a town so distressed as Bombay and fed with ghee, sandalwood and the other ingredients used in the Yagna ceremonies, will destroy all the plague gerins in the atmosphere and free that city of its deadly enemy within.a week.”’

Her majesty has only four grandsons who have taken wives unto themselves—

/namely, the Duke of York, the German

emperor and his brother, Prince Henry, and the Grand Duke of Hesse.

It is said that there has been of fate an extraordinary increase in the nureber of foreign bandsmen employed in the British navy. The majerity of these are Maltese and Italians.
