An Animal 1 liat D'gg Both Bum mer and Winter. It I.lves the Life of a Hermit Excepting Due Month In the Year— Some Informa tion About h u fntervuting Little Animal. A human being who should possess a dwelling half a mile long would be eon sidered a very important peisonage by his fellows; but he would have, at. that, an abode only one-half as long as the dwelling which is often constructed by a very little animal —the creature called the "pocket, gopher" in the west and the "salamander" in the south. A report on this little creature recently issued by the United States department of ag riculture declares that the burrows dug by a single animal would, if straightened out, in many cases meas ure more than a mile. The pocket gopher digs ao long us he lives, extending his burrows from year to year. lie digs all summer and generally nil winter, for he does not Hi bernate. He is probably the com pie test mechanical digger in existence. All his life is passed under ground, excepl when, for an instant, on rare occasions, he emergesinto the air to push a load of earth from a freshly opened hole. But he vanishes below the- earth so quickly that he can hardly be said to be seen at all. Except for one month of the year, the mating season, all pocket gophers live an entirely solitary life, and, like most other hermits, they arc of an ex tremely surly disposition. They will fight viciously on nil occasions, mio they have a remarkably formidable weapon in their long, sharp front teetli. They are of all living creatures the ones most perfectly adapted to digging in the ground. They are short-legged, thick set, almost neckless. without visi ble ears, and with extremely small eyes. In tunneling in the earth they use their long and powerful front teeth n a pick to loosen the ground. At the same time the forefeet, which are armed with long curved claws—the side of t he toes being lined in turn with bristles which prevent the dirt from passing between them —are hard at work both in digging and in pressing the dirt back under the body. Then the l*nd feet take it. and push it fur ther back. When earth enough has been accu mulated behind the gopher he whirls about, and by bringing his wrists to gether under the chin, with the palms of the hands held vertically, he pushes the enrt.h out in front. tie will move backward as rapidly as forward, and can push dirt either way. His movement in digging often seems as rapid and automatic as that of a shuttle. Except in times of deep frost the burrows arc seldom more than a foot underground, and generally about six inches. The gopher is in pursuit of roots of all kinds—grass roots, tree roots, potatoes and other tubers. Hit is immensely destructive to crops, and one gopher has been known to gnaw away the roots of a tree so completely that the tree will topple over in asMght wind and fall flat. This is not hard to understand after we have been assured, as the zoologist.! of the department of agriculture assure us, that a pocket gopher can make 201 complete strokes with his teeth in n minute. Its jaws are so arranged that 28 distinct single cuts are made by the forward stroke of the jaw and 28 by the backward stroke. Thus, it will be seen, the little creatine's jaws may make a grand total of 13,200 cuts a min ute when in active operation. The pocket gopher—the name is ap plied to several species of the Geomys tribe—is. indeed, so destructive that in many parts of the west bounties are offered fur its extermination. One Town county paid $14,000 in such bounties in a single year without an appreciable re duction of the nninifil's ravages. This represented a destruction of 140,000 go phers. At intervals, seldom more than a few rods apart, the pocket gopher comes to the surface to throw up a little hill of dirt, but the opening which he makes is closed by being packed so full of dirt that no trace of the tunnel is visible except the little mound. The gopher goes on digging in win ter as well as in the summer, but if the frost prevents him from coming to tlie surface lie uses a cross section of hh tunnel into which to pack the earth which he has dug for his new excava tions. These packed cylinders of earth are often turned up by the farmer'* plow. If. by inadvertence, the pocket go pher leaves a exit open the "bull snake" is very apt to enter, and if he does, the gopher's death is certain, lie is covered with slime by the serpent and swallowed. But the weasel is the gopher's ohiej enemy. The largest weasel enters tlie burrow and travels it swiftly, and wens els have cleared a whole section of country of pocket gophers when boun ties have failed. But it is Raid that even in regions .where t lie pocket gopher is most de structive the weasel is condemned by the farmers and killed mercilessly, This is one instance of many of the slowness of mankind to recognize friends in the animal world. Owls and hawks also succeed in cap turing many gophers, ip spite of the merely instantaneousuppeprnpee pf thy creatures abovia the grqipid.—Yoqthh Com pan ion. Almond Iring.

The little man with sfraw-colorei tiair wagged his head indignantly am spluttered incoherent epithets wliili the six-footer stood off and watehet him with an expression of minglci curiosity and worriment. "I don't know that I exactly under stand what you're saying," tlie big mat remarked, slowly. "But I guess I hav a pretty good idea of the sentiment Still we might as well get together one LnJk it over so's to have everything straight and plain. You said that ! had not done half the fighting in tlie wur that I claimed to have done. And I retorted that you were so scared yot didn't do any." "Yes, sir, you did. And what's more you reiterated it. And, not satisfied with that, you said it over." "And thereupon you called me a Bar." "Yes, s'r. And I am sorry, sir, that the company into which I had failcr and the stress of the circumstances lx trayed me Into the use of a word which should not be in any gentleman's vo cabulary.

You will remember that 1 gave way to my instinctive love of repartee and replied that you were another." "You did exactly that." "And then you wanted to fight." "I haven't gotten over wanting to, either." "Still, even if we were to fight, the dispute as to the facts in the case would remain unsettled." "A man is generally willing to give in when lie has been licked," was the dogged answer. "But it wouldn't be an even thing. I could take you with one hand like a whipcracker and snap the pegs out of your shoes." The little man looked him o\cr, and, quite undaunted, replied: "You've got n good chance to try." "I don't want to do it. I dislike to leave unsettled this question of which of us is a mendacious blot on the con tinent which George Washington once inhabited. All you want, of course, is to have it decided which of us is a liar and which is not." "That's all that it seems reasonable to expect." "Suppose, then, that we go ahead and determine the thing in a sportsmanlike fashion. Here's n cent. I'll flip it up. Wliiciril you take, heads or tails?" "Heads." "All right. If it comes up heads, I'm u liar, and if it comes up tails, you're a liar." But the little man with straw-col ored hair said it seemed a good deal like foolishness for grown men to be have in that way and he guessed they'd better shake hands and cull the whole affair off.—Detroit Free Press,. PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN. How Best to Kclnikii Misbehavior of the Little Folks. In n recent number of Science, Prof. J. F. Morse, of the Wisconsin university, in Madison, outlined a series of teats which lie wants to have parents make with very young children, with a view to finding out the best way to secure re spect for authority, and then u report of the result is solicited for comparison with similar statements. The collec tion of such information may at first seem a little absurd, for every intelli-. gent observer of children knows that the latter differ so greatly in health, brightness, temperament and other qualities that no uniform plan of pro cedure would give the best results. One child must lie managed in one way, and another in another, in order to secure the highest success. Nevertheless, if enough facts could be gathered, it might be possible to classify the little folks w ho had been examined, so that the best policy for each set could be pointed out. Parents and teachers might find a good summary of these exjieriments very in structive. A variety of expedients would he suggested, and one could try that which seems to have worked best in cases like those immediately at hand, provided that all others had failed. Prof. Morse suggests that most of these experiments be tried on children whose ages are between two and six. Various offenses are specified, like naughtiness ut table, suueiness, taking a playmate's toy, misbehavior while the father has been away froui home, and lnck of cleanliness; and such punish ments are suggested as sending away from the table, shutting up in a room, w hipping or spanking, sending to bed without a good-night kiss. The effect of each is to be carefully recorded. The attempt is to be made, too, (o find out whether praise' for good behavior goes further than censure for wrongdoing or neglect. And the possible influence of pretending to cry is to bo watched. Prof. Morse will send instructions to those w ho are willing to cooperate in this investigation, and asks people to send him their names and addresses for that pur|)ose. lie says: "The informa tion secured in response to this request will be used in a general and statistical way without publication of names. Those w ho participate would be assist ing in ft cause of great value, and would be doing philanthropic service.—Scien tific American. Fillet qf Hill in on.

The surface is ; other of plain enamel with brass triin niiigs, or with decorations of DcJtt ! due in the form of little landscapes, showing where pretty blue bridges i stretch over equally pretty blue streams , A'herc there are boats on the water and ; ! yindmills by the shore, or bachelor-] juttons are painted in clusters or scat tered singly ovei each piece. The blue j leeorations may be conventional in de sign and take the form of empire .vreaths of leaves or flowers, or of ( scrolls. Often a few decorated pieces, a toilet able and u chair or two, or perhaps a •heval glass, may be the only decorated fieces used with a plain white set.! \gain, the blue may only appear in the j .vail paper or hangings, or in the mantel i ornaments and clock and lamp shades, A-hich may be of Delft blue and white. The light through the globe-shades ofY Delft blue and white is particularly' ilcasing when it lights up a really good ittlo view of land aiul water. These shades are, however, high priced. On die low-priced shades the drawing is very poor, and the boats ride in the sky, and tlie windmills occur in most lupossible places and positions. These blue and white shades look their best on amps of wrought iron. When blue and .vhite is not chosen for a bedroom, ?reen and white, old pink and white, jr violet and white are cool-looking colors to put together. Often a young woman who can paint flowers well .lecorates a window seat, a rocking chair and a writing desk for herself, a room is charming when the decorations are violet and the white wall paper is also scattered with the same flowers, with many of them in u festooned freize where there are many green leaves. This extreme daintiness of coloring should, however, only be chosen for a room where the maids who care for the house or the maiden who occupies it has leisure to keep it im maculate. When a light coloring is de sired, and white is not liked, curly birch and bird's-eye maple are both used for bedroom furniture. White furnishings have most opposite effects on different persons. One woman who has a white room finds its glare tiresome, another thinks it restful.—St. Louis Republic. CREPE PAPER WORK. How to Afuko u Very Dainty and Attract ive Scent Ilittlc Cover.

Lay the two papers together aiul cut a circle measuring three times the height of the bottle; for instance, | if your bottle be four inches high, then your circle should measure 12 inches across. Stand the bottle exactly in the middle of these two ci rcles, take the paper at the edge, still holding the bottle down firmly in place with one hand, and draw it up round the bottle. Arrange the fplb ness to set as evor\v as possible, then secure it with wire around the neck, Lend down the edges, which at present are standing upright, and pull out and, coax the paper so that it sets like a frill and large gofTerings around the month of the bottle, as clearly shown by illus-* (ration. Arrange the paper tolerably evenly, but. not formally, and finally tip a piece of colored ribbon over the wire below the frill. Make a smart bow, and, if necessary, flt it with a pin or a few stitches. If the bottle is large enough to allow of t his, add a spray of artificial flowers starting from tlie middle of the bow and trailing down the side of the bottle.

Nature' 3 Reproductive Powers Are Tried to the Utmost. Outrages Ipon tlio Forei.ts Arc Kupidly Denuding tlie Kurtfc of TJoCß—Consumption of the Tines. At the pres>v.t time the guard ranges of the Allegheny mountains, which ex tend into Moixougahela county, YV. Va., ore covered with a mixed deciduous for est of second-growth trees. This is one of the best examples that have come un der my personal observation of the nat ural power of forest reconstruction. During the early half of the present century this region, embracing several thousand acres lying across the north bank of the Cheat river, was the seat of an active iron-making industry. The mountains afforded a bog ore which was accessible and of great value. The mountain slopes were then heavily wooded, and as the iron industry be came established a. demand for char coal was created, and to meet this de mand the woods were harvested nnd converted into charcoal. This industry began about 1759, nnd was most active from 1822 to about 1552, and continued in a small way until in 1808. The largest proportion of the timber re moved for charcoal purposes was cut during the most active period of the industry, and before the middle of the century. As soon as t.he chureoal burning be came unremuue-rutive from the exhaus tion of the timber supply and the sub stitution of coke for charcoal in the re duction of ore, these lands, which were too steep and rugged for profitable ag riculture or grazing, were allowed again to fall into the hands of Mother Nature. It is true that fire has done much injury from time to time. But even with the ad verrt; conditions of soil, exposure and frequent fires, there is to-day upon these mountains a forest 01' second-growth chestnut, poplar and oak, worth ninny times the value of the land at the time the iron furnaces closed—a convincing example that our forests will reproduce themselves. This we are told is all well enough for the moist mountain districts of the. Alle ghanies, but wfil not hold in tlie de forested areas of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. There is no ground for this argument, for when the forests were removed 110 rational system of re forestation was attempted. Even the protection of the area from fire has usu ally been neglected, and this alone will .suffice toexpluin why the land stripped of its forest cover still remains bare. .Natural reproductive powers have not been allowed an opportunity to assert themselves. Trees are not grown so long as fires are. allowed to run period ically over the exploited tracts; what might take place, were they suppressed and prevented, is another question upon which some light is thrown in the following remarks by Mr. H. 11. Ayrcs, of Carlton, Minn., on "Forest Fires:" "Even men of intelligence and promi nence in the lumber business have said l Why prevent fire? Pine will never come in again after the marketable tim ber is once cut.* This assertion needs the strongest- jwwslble denial; the men who make sueli an assertion deserve rid icule. They wore looking for saw-logs, and could not have looked for muc.li vise, for loggers in cutting often leave 011 an acre a hundred thrifty and vig orous young pines from four to ten inches in diameter, and from 20 to 100 feet high after the log-timber is hut, und on pine-stump land that has es caped fire 3,000 of little pine seedlings may be seen springing up. In order to bo able to refute such misstatements utterly I have here the minutes of the exact location where young pines in excellent condition for timber growing may be seen, and right by may lw? seen burnt- land cut the same year that, could not be put into a condition as promis ing for timber for less than S2O an acre. 111 fact, so favorable a soil, mulch and shade can hardly lie made at once. 011 burnt land at any price. Several such acres on (sections) 10, .10, 22 were staked off and the trees counted; on one from which 32,000 feet hud been cut three years before were 32 thrifty sapling white pines, 8 to 11 Inches in diameter, and 30 to 80 feet high; 10 poplar, 8 to 14 inches in diameter and 00 feet high; 1,000 poplarsprouts,one-ha.lf to one inch in diameter, and 5 to 12 feet high} a. light underbrush of hazel and vine maple; nnd under oil this were 1,267 Ml tie white pine seedlings two years old and 4 to 6 inches high. Another acre 011 the same section had 200 trees of while and Norway pine averaging 8 inches in diameter and 45 feet high. Are not these worth saving?" This is a specific example of what may be expected from one of the fam ilies of trees which it is most difficult to perpetuate. Pines, as a. rule, grow only from seeds. They cannot be managed under the coppice system, yet this singly <*bervwition, carefully carried out and recorded, Is sufficient to set t-hu most skeptical to thinking. In the deciduous forests which oc cupy the outlying rflnges of the east em mountain systems the problem is less difficult, most of the desirable species reproduce themselves from the stump, The history of this region clearly shows the influence of the rise and de cline of the iron industry on the forest, the benefit of the substitution of cuke for charcoal nnd the beneficial re sults in the way of reforestation when such lands are simply left to themselves and partially protected from flics.- Garden and Forest.
