ANIMALS UNDERGROUND.

Burrowing as It Is Performed by Various Npecies of Mammals.

Ventilation, or rather the want of it, must be a difficulty in the underkround life of almost all mammals. The rabbit and the rat secure a current of aid by forming a bolt hole in connection with their system of passages, but the fox, the badger and many of the field voles and mice seem indifferent to any such precaution. There is no doubt that whatever gave the first impulse to bur- row, many avimals look upon this, to us most unpleasant exertion, as a form of actua] amusement. It also confers a right of property.

Prairie dogs constantly set to work to dig holes merely for the love of the thing. If they cannot have a suitable place to exercise their talent in, they will guaw into boxes or chests of draw- ers, and there burrow, to the great det- riment of the clothes therein contained. In an inclosed prairie dog ‘‘town’’ they have been known to mine until the su- perincumbent earth collapsed and buried the greater number. A young prairie dog, let loose in a small, gravel floored house, instantly dug a hole large enough to sit in, turned round in it and bit the first person who attempted to touch him. Property gave him courage, for before he had been as meek as a mouse.

It is noticeable that the two weakest and least numerous of our mice, the dormouse and the harvest mouse, do not burrow, but make nests, and that these do not multiply or maintain their num- bers, like the burrowing mice and voles. But the fact that there are members of very closely allied species, some of which do burrow, while others do not, seems to indicate that the habit is an acquired one.

In this connection it is worth noting that many animals which do not bur- row at other times form burrows in which to conceal and protect their

different kind of a more elaborate char- Among these nursery burrows are those of the dog, the fox and sand- martin, the kingfisher and the shel- drake. Foxhound litters never do so well as when the mother is allowed to make a burrow on the sunny side of a straw stack. In time she will work this five or six feet into the stack and keep the puppies at the far end, while she lies in the entrance. Vixens either dig or appropriate a clean burrow for their cubs, which isa natural habit, or, at any rate, ons acquired previously to the use of earth by adult foxes. —London

MYSTIFYING

The Determined Woman Wanted Him to Find Her Nephew.

She had a look of determination in her face as she stood on the corner of Main and Court streets in Auburn and signaled for an electric car.

The car stopped and the woman ad- yanced to the steps.

‘‘Where bo you goin?’’ said she.

‘*Figure 8,’’ said the conductor.

“Eh!”

‘‘Figure 8.”’

‘‘Ate what?’ said she. ‘‘Who said anything about eatin? Be you goin past my nephew James Strout’s house?’

‘‘Dunno,’’ said the conductor. aboard.’’

‘‘You hol’ on, young man,’’ said the woman. ‘‘Don’t you get excited. Doa’t you know Jim Strout? He lives on Ru- ral avenue, and he’s expectin me today.’’

‘*We go College street,’’ said the con- ductor.

In the meantime the motorman was stamping on the gong and passengers were getting interested. '

‘* All aboard,’’ was the courteous sug- gestion of the conductor. “‘If you are going with me, madam, get aboard. We don’t keep a directory and we don’t sell stamps, and Iam not acquainted with James Strout of Rural avenue, but if you want to ride around the figure 8, all aboard.’’

‘*Well, I never!’’ said the woman. ‘‘Well, young man, there’s one thing you kin do, You can hold your horses till I git my gripsack.’’

And they did, and the conductor belped ber aboard with it, and on Col- lege street, near Skinner, she saw a family in a team, and she gave a yell that shut off the electricity quicker than &@ cat catches a rat.

It was her nephew.

Such are the tender ministrations of fate that watch over resolute women. — Lewiston Journal.

Music Shops on Ocean Liners.

From a single venture five years ago small shops for the sale of musical in- struments have become a regular thing on the large liners that sail from Eng- land to India, Australia and the coi- onies.

From the beginning the music shop

| was quite a success. Perhaps most of its

trade runs in the direction of cheap banjos, which are bought by almost ev- ery man on board before the voyage as a means of passing the time,

Valuable violins are often more easily disposed of at sea than on shore, while even pianos meet with at least four or five customers each yoyage, many peo- ple disposing of their own insti uments before starting and being readily per- suaded into buying others to avoid the middleman on landing.

The seabound music shop agent usual- ly travels first class, and as he is gener- ally possessed of gentlemanly manners and glib tongue he meets with better opportunities for pushing his wares than be would get under ordinary circum- stances. —London Globe.
