A shrew-ash was made thus: into the body of the tree a deep hole was bored with an auger. and a poor devoted shrew-mouse was thrust in alive, and plugged‘ in, no doubt, with several quaint in- cnntutions long since forgotten.

The Woodchuck A reader at Clinton sends some enquiries which may be briefly ic-statcd as (1) What is a wood- chuck? (2: Where is the native homu of the peacock? and (3) is it. an uncommon bird on the Island? The common wood-chuck, or American Marmot, (marmota mon- ax) perhaps better known to us as the "ground hog." It. has a heavy body (an adult will weigh ten pounds.) covered with coarse toil. and powerful legs with strong claws for digging. These animals have a. ‘wide range. from Northern Canada. to Mexico, but I have no remrd of its having been taken here, As might be surmised from the number of its names, the wood- chuck is fairly common in those locality it frequents, and in fact constitutes itself a nuisance m the farmer in whose fields it burrows, and whose crops it takes toll of. Ln New Hampshire in 1888 a bounty of ten cents was given for each bounty shall be paid for any wood- chuok lgilled on Sunday."

(and one which I thoroughly en- joyed) spoke of the Scottish gooseberrles as "sweet as the honey of Hymettus." The miners in Nor- thumberland were keen gardeners and gave special attention to the raising of gooseberrles and leeks. The name given to the berry in those days was the "grozer," which indicates o. Norman-French origin. and gm plum; was a "grocer-bush." There were two types of fruit. a rough hairy skin that ripened a deep, dull red. and o, smoother klnd that ripened to an umber yellow.

The winter training comps have been vacated. white and Egan shipped from 1on8- wood to Lexington. The Hanover Shoe and Peninsular Farms horses are again on northern tracks. Perry is qt Hanover, Pa, and Mahoney with his racing samples by Vologdia. and Real Frisco at Toledo, Ohio. Dickerson, Hudson and the Brus- les pulled out of Pinchurst for Goshen. Tyson shipped to Free- hold, N. J. where he has taken on a. few local horses. Calumet Deleo and Quite Sure were added to the Brusic stable as soon as it arrived at. the Goshen mile track where Harry after stepping the Guy Aiqxorthy colt Sturdy o, fast mile sold him to the man who purchased Calumet Dubuque from him last y-car. The Bay State Circuit. will get tinder. way at the “historic track" in Goshen, June 6. The twentieth renewal of this Iwpular series will bring together many of the best fields of horses as were ever seen in it. The route this year runs from Goshen to Chatham, Sturbrldge, Avon and Windsor. The Grand Circuit starts at. North Randall the last week in June. The Matron and Champion Stallion States will be the feature events for the colts at this meeting. In them the splendid battles put up by The Marchioness, Brevere, Calumet Chuck, Raider, and Rip Hanover last year will be duplicated-this season, although the time may not he. as fast. As it is the contest and not the time that gives the thrill in racing, there will be just as much lntetrets when the three year old trotters and pacers take the word. The toleda meeting follows North Randall and precedes the three weeks stand at Buckingham Park. This will be the first time that New Englanders have had an opportun- ity to attend such a long session since the flags were up at Saugus. As the best horses are engaged, the interest in the meeting will be maintained from start to finish at. the big ovel in New Iiainpshire. Goshen is the next stop in the lcss sugar to preserve. a Prflflf-‘dllre greatly favored by the thrifty Northumbrian, who resembled his Scottish cousin in that respect. l. The miners at Winlation Mill grew the largest gooseberrles but it was probably an exaggeration to say “if you asked for o. pound they gave you a slice!" The Bird-House Contest The good Sisters who teach in ,tlie Convent at Rustico, in apply- ing for the pamphlet “Bird Houses and their Occupants," state that the boys in the school thflfe 8TB greatly interested in bird life. This is tllufidng news, for every boy (and girl too) can be a. little mis- sionary and help along the move- ment for the protection of our na- tive birds. There is still time to enter the contest, so in fulfilment of last week's promise I repeat the rules. Each competitlor must put out not less than three bird-houses. or nesting boxes. When one of these is occupied this must be Certified by the school teacher, and the cer- t-iliraic retained till the. close of the contest. which will he notified in this colllmll. The contestant will then take any notes relative to the occupants of the bird house and these notes, together with the cer- tificate will form the basis for judgment. English sparrows and star-ling are debafled- There are five prizes, consisting cl three copies of Dr. 'I'avener's "Birds of Eastern Canada," one volume of R. L.

The other day I went round to the "hen pen" and found a spar- row (new to me) picking up the grain, 1 walked quietly and got within three yards without disturb- ing it. In color it was a deep rich. foxy brown. which showed it to be a. “Fox Sparrow.” The head was of a greyish tint and there was a large brown patch on the throat, and rows of spots on its “vest? Its actions were very characteristic. It would scratch like a hen for a. few seconds, kick over what it turned up and resume scratching. Finally it flew away. the rich color attract- ing the eye for u considerable dis- tance.
