ANIMAL TO BE' LEFT ALONE
Porcupine Strictly Defensive, but »
Dreaded Foe When It Comes to
Close Quarters.
Perhaps you will come to the con-
clusion that this animal is more inter
esting to read about than to meet in
the woods, the Philadelphia North
American says. But don't worry
If he
were common he might become, along
with the rattlesnake, the emblem of
the apostles of preparedness, for he
carries a veritable argenal arcund
with him on his back. He is called the
poreupine.
The only American member of the
family is the Canadian porcupine,
which occasionally wanders southward
into the mountains of Pennsylvania,
Covering his body from head to foot
are sharp spines, or quills, varying
from one to four inches in length.
When the porcupine is undisturbed
the quills lie flat against the body like
hair. Approach him, and the spines
become erect, pointing outward like
a thousand bayonets.
Ancient writers handed down fanci-
ful: stories about how the porcupine
could shrow one of these quills from
the ‘body. He doesn't possess this
power, however. He's wholly a de
fensive animal.
Sometimes a dog, unacquainted with
this terror of the forest, will pounce
upon’ him Hke he would on a rabbit
Immediately there's a howl of pain
fromy the dog, not the porcupine, The
quills “are covered with barbs, and
once they are imbedded in another
animal they work their way farther in,
sometimes causing death.
The quills of the Canadian porecu-
pine are hidden by a covering of hair
He makes his home in hollow trees or
in caverns, and eats vegetables and
bark from trees,
MINK HAS VARIED TALENTS
Web-Footed Animal Can Climb Trees
and Go a-Fishing; Also le
Valuable Prey.
Very talented is the animal. He
can climb trees llke a squirrel, swim
like a fish, dig like a mole and kill
chickens like a weasel In addition
he is endowed with an unusually fine
fur, which makes him valuable prey
for the hunter. He's more or less com-
mon along woodland streams, and al
together too common in the neighbor
hood of the farmer's poultry yards
We call him the mink.
Although he can dig as good a bun
row as any other animal, the mink
sometimes chooses to steal a musk-
rat's home rather than bufld one for
himself, a writer In the Philadelphia
North American states. To avoid fu.
ture trouble with the ousted muskrat,
the mink kills and eats him.
Usually he prefers to make kis
home along the banks of a stream or
at the foot of a waterfall. Sometimes,
when his taste for poultry becomes
cultivated, he will establish himself
under the farmer's barn to be near his
food supply. He can track his prey
like a hound. Besides poultry, he has
& taste for rats, mice, fish and frogs.
To aid him In his fishing, the mink
has partly webbed feet His sharp
claws help him In climbing trees, and
sometimes he will attack birds in thelr
nests. He is a little more than twelve
inches long, has a dark brown fur and
8 Hght spot on his throat. Before
sealakin became popular a single skin
of the mink was worth from $10 to $12.
Seemed a Ooo Proposition,
“Yea” gighed the beautiful heiress.
“my romance has been shattered be-
yond all repair. And the cruel parent
waa responsible Yor all my suffering”
We sympathized and begged her to
£0 on,
“My suitor wes young and %hand-
some, clever. True. he had no money
But he had everything else. and oh!
how he loved me. My father conldn't
sea him. Father fs a business man.
and he could not understand that true
worth and poverty are not incompat-
ible. He demanded that I dismiss my
lover; he fretted and fumed whenever
be called
“1 told him all my father had said
against him. | repeated to him my
father's remark that he would give
5.000 if I would never see him again.”
“And what did he say to that?"
“Hehe asked when father could
be found in his office.”
“Metaphysicianess.”
Mary Mitford appears to have had a
weakness for coining words with un.
necessary female terminations. On one
occasion she writes about “a young
eredture full of grace and beauty, liv.
fog in London Mike a hermitess and
feaching her little brothers Greek.”
dnd glgowhere she tells of “a most
elegant young woman, negotiatrix of
the forgeries.” Worst of all is a pas
fags in & letter to Sir Willlam Biford,
in. which shoe says: “I believe, my
door Sie William, that you will not
need ‘one to come from the grave’ to
inform you that | am » metaphysician
ess (is there such a werd 7)” .

After several unsuccessful attempts
to draw her husband into conversa
tion at the restaurant, the wife dis.
covered the cause of his abstraction

pnd gested at a nearby table,
“Ap attractive widow,” observed the
