Stories of Foxes.
At a recent fox hunt in England the
fox ran into a church wkcro afternoon
services were being held and hid him
self in tho pulpit, where ho remained
until dusk. His baillod pursuers came
to the church door, but could go no far
ther, and had to givo up the chuae, much
to their mortification.
Tho Karl of fouthesk, while hunting
in Saskatchewan nut long ago, had mi
expericuco with a fox which shows tho
remarkable instincts which that animal
sometimes possesses. 'the Karl says:
After chasing him a number of miles.
on a sudden lie made an active spring
and disappeared headforemost into tho
snow. Down we leaped to secure him.
Behold a (Tiping Icidgcr hole! liy what
instinct could the fox discover tho exact
position of that hole ', No diircrcnco on
the smooth, shining surface was visiblo
to us, yet the fox, in ull his fear and.
peril, could light exactly upon tlio en-
tram e of this concealed mid apparently
long unfrequented burrow."
A Hondout ( N. V.) fox cause 1 a big
eastern ico lirm considerable trouble 1 tat

had had soma did.culty in procuiing ex

pany. He therefore put on a gang of
.'00 1 green hands. One ultoruoon
toward the last of the season, and at a
time when every moment counted, a fox
ran ncross tlio ico. Instantly his entire
force ran after tho fox. while the dis
tracted manager yelled after them in
vain. Twenty minutes afterward they
returned and found him figuring out how
nun h ho had lost by their absence Ho
had figured out that tho fox had cost

Curiosities of Appetite.
In tho desire for change in articles of
food, some strange things have bceu
swallowed. (Such, for instance, as Cleo
patra's famous pearl solution, which she
quailed to prove her regard for Maro
Antony; tho similar draught which fir
Richmond Whittington hud prepared for
an entertainment he gave to King Henry
V.; tho diamoud which Sir Thomus
tiroshain had dissolved in wine, and
drank to tho health of tjuecn Elizabeth,
when she opened the royal exchange;
and the love pledges of their own blood
which tho young uailants of former days
used to drink. The claims of such arti
cles as foods are, however, shadowy,
and, if they may be admitted, so ought
the penknife, tho ounce of tin tucks and
innumerable sixiiencus, which tho typical
boy, from time immemorial, has shown a
predilection for swallowing.
One of the earliest aristocratic rocruits
to the stage, iietterton's successor, liar
ton Uooth, "a relation of the Earl of War
rington, and not far remote from the
title," had such an unappeasable appe
tite that his wife hud ofteu to "order
the tublo to be removed, for fear of over
churgiug bis stomach." He had pro
previously been a devotee of liacclius,
and from one extreme fell into the other.
That food has an effect on tho mind and
actions was believed in by Mossop, who
always ordered his dinner to suit tho
character he was about to play. For
