The Old Stone Fort at Chambly.
One of the most picturesque remains
of the glories of New France, whose
history and legend* date back to the
age of Frontcnae and La Salle, Is the
old stone fort at Chauably. in the prov
ince of Quebec. The tablet on the \
ruins, with its motto. "Courage and
Loyalty," in French, bears this inscrip
tion: "In the reign of Louis XIV. of
France and Navarre, the Marquise dc
Vandreuil being governor of New
France, this fort was erected in 1711.
burned In 1770, restored by Guy Carle
ton in 1777, abandoned in 1847. It was
repaired in 1882 in the reign of Vic
toria, queen of Great Britain, the Mar
quis of Lome being governor general
of Canada,*' etc. A fact which the in
scription kindly fails to record i6 that
the burning referred to was by th?^
American troops, who. having captured
tbe fort in 1775 under General Mont
gomery, burned it the following year
when they retreated to Lake Cham
plain. The various restorations have
been made skillfully to harmonize with
the weather beaten portions which re
sisted the fire of 1770.
The Policeman and His I'niform.
Why is it that a policeman of metlh
urn build can handle frequently two
and sometimes three men his size in a
fight? An officer on the local force was
discussing the question. "I'll tell you
why it is," he said. "It is simply be
cause the policeman is in uniform. The
uniform denotes authority, and that
takes the nerve out of his opponents
to a certain extent. They know that
they are breaking the law by resisting
him, while he might even kill them and
not commit a crime. All through a fight
with a policeman the ether fellow or
fellows are thinking of escape. The
officer isn't. He's thinking of subduing
and arresting the man or men. He puts
his whole effort and strength into it,
while his opponents Generally fight in
a half hearted way. ! rt :: policeman in
citizen's clothes, with bis star under his
coat, and he wouldn't be able to whip
two men his size any more than you
would unless the two men knew he
was an officer of the law."? Kansas
City Times.
Spider Courtnhip.
The courtship of the Saitis pulex, a
spider, is described by an expert in
insect life as a most elaborate exhibi
tion of skill and grace in dancing. Bal
ancing his body on his long legs, he
moves in a semicircle for about two
inches and then, reversing the position,
twists and turns in the opposite direc
tion. repeating this grotesque figure
scores of times and pausing every few
miuutes to rock from side to side and
to bend his brilliant legs so that they
may be brought into full view of his
admiring mate. A similar display, but
with varied antics, marks the loveinak
ing of other sorts of spiders, but this
manner of courting is not without its
risks, and it may often happen that
the lively suitor, if he prolongs his per
formance or shows off his points of
perfection too persistently, is suddenly
seized and devoured by bis more mus
cular mate.

The Boballak Roitf.
The bobolinks are so open in their j
movements that the passage from
Florida to Cuba and theuce to South
America is known as the "bobolink
route." So energetic and brave is this j
, plump little traveler in feathers that
it often compasses in a single long ]
ocean flight the 700 miles from Cuba
to South America, while many other
species which also use the "bobolink
route" stop at Jamaica, apparently
dreading the long, sustained trip across
tho Caribbean sea.? Youth's. Compan

Sleeping I'ln 11 In.
Plants sleep much the same as ani
mals. Their sleep is quite real, and
its reality can be showu. Perhaps the
bexi marked form of slumber in tbe
vegetable world is that of the great
winter rest, when so many species re
tire altogether under the sheltering soil
and there lie dormant side by side with
the slumbering animals. How does the
long winter rest of animals differ, aft
er all, from the winter rest of the cro
cus and the hyacinth, which withdraw
all the living material fr.nn their leaves
in autumn and bury themselves inches
ilecp 'in tbe soil in tbe shape_of a bulb
till February rains or April suns tempt
leaves and flowers out again? Tbe
whole vast class of bullions and tuber
ous plants, indeed? the lilies, orchids,
daffodils, narcissi, tulips, squills, blue
bells and snowdrops? are they not just
hibernating creatures which retire un
derground in autumn with the slug:
and the queen wasps, to reappear in
spring about the same time with the
return to u >per air of tbe moles, the
tortoises a;?I the fritillavy butterflies?

How To Ward Off Old Age.
The most successful way of
warding off the approach of old
age is to maintain a vigorous di
gestion. This can be done by eat
'ing only food suited to your age
and occupation, and when any dis
( order of the stomach appears take
? a dose of Chamberlain 's Stomach
' and Liver Tablets to correct it. ,
If you have a weak stomach or
are troubled with indigestion, you \
will find these tablets to be just !

PrculiiiriticN of Ferret*.
Ferrets arc usually rat hot* shy and j
sometimes are very cross aiul bad tern- j
pered. If they take a fancy to people I
they are like squirrels and can be ca
ressed and made much of and enjoy it j
verj gmitiy. Ferrets were originally j
brought from England. They are of
great value to clear premises of rats, i
When not hunting the ferrets should be
lgt'i ?t in a dry box or pen. with the top
off. the depth to be about three feet,
the bottom tilled in with sawdust or i
earth. The rat is the natural prey and
the favorite food of the ferret. When 1
there ore n > more rats raw meat is the
very best thiug to feed, although bread
and milk or any other food, with the I
exception of salt meat, can l?e given 1
them, together with milk and water,
the same as to cats. At tirst the ferret
should be handled by the tail or back
of the neck, the latter lieing the pre- j
ferred way. A strange ferret should
never be handled from the front, as he
may Lite.
Our DiRritivf Apparnln*.
If men were desigued to live on one I
particular standard diet, such as each 1
food faddist thinks he has discovered, i
they would have a simpJe. straJghtfor- I
ward digestive apparatus, calculated to j
deal with such a diet without undue j
complexity or ??overlapping." On the j
contrary, our digestive apparatus is I
like our teeth, characteristically oinuiv- ;
orous. Pepsin is only one of at least a
dozen different ferments, some of |
which can only act in alkaline medium. ;
others only in an acid medium, others
only in the presence of such and such j
a brxly. others only in its absence. This
extraordinary, complex apparatus was
not constructed to provide problems fir
physiologists or to consume superflu
ous vital energy. Its plain meaning? |
if people were on the lockout for mean
ings?is that the more complex, adapta
ble and varied the apparatus the fitter
is its owner to survive in all dietetic
emergencies.? Tall Mall Gaxette.

LUCKIEST MAN ON EARTH.
Tea. the parlor floor's ripped up;

Towel on her head;
Bosses things a round the place,
And her eyes are red;

Let rtiem rip and let them tear.

Let them go it! I've been called.

The Sladfnt'i Explanation.
A notably amusing answer was giv
en by a student in the natural philoso
phy das* at Edinburgh university.
Professor Ta it had given as one of
the questions in an examination pa
per. "Define transparent, translucent
an.l opaque." which was dealt with by
the student thus: *:I cannot precisely
define these terms, but I can indicate
their meaning in this way: The win
dows of this classroom were once
transparent, they are now translucent
and if not cleaned very soon will be
opaque."
The answer gained full marks from
the amused professor. ? Wesminster

The German Bride.
As soon as a German girl is engaged
sho is called "bride" by her lover, who
continues to call her so until she be
comes his wife. Immediately on be
trothal the lovers exchange rings,
which are intended to be worn by both
for the rest of their lives. The woman
wears her ring on her left hand dur
ing her engagement and on her light
afterward. The man continues to wear
his as his wife did when she was a
"bride," and thus one can tell at a
glance whether a man be free to marry
or not.
