Tom Staten has established a farm for ilxe raising of mink at Rattlesnake Point, on the upper Klamath Lake. About a hundred of the animals are housed in -ages or cabinets, and seem to do well land thrive in captivity, as they are all dat and sleek looking. The animals are so'tame that they will take food from the hand. aithotigh one hes 'to be careful in handling them, as the mink is treacherous end has very sharp teeth. As mink in this county in- crease about five fold, Mr. Staten ex- peets to have something over 600 in his rages next year.

SLEEPING DRAUGHTS AND SOOTHING MIXTURES. A. wise mother will never give her lit- tle one a sleeping draught, soothing mix- ture or opiate of any kind except upon the advice of a. competent doctor, who has seen the e..iiild. All these things contain deadly poison. When you give your baby or young child Baby's Own Tablets you have 'the guarantee of a di ovemment analyst that this medicine does not contain one particle of opiate or narcotic, and therefore cannot pos- sibly do harm—but always do good. Mrs. Geo, M. Kempf:, Carleton Place, Out„ 'says: "I have given Baby's Own Tablets to my baby since he was two weeks old. He was a very small, thin baby, but thanks to the Tablets he is now a big, fret, healthy boy."

"On the morning of Aug. 11," says a writer in Suburban Life, "I gathered a fear black ants and a number of their small, brown, egg shaped oncoons from an ant hill in my yard and placed them in a shallow glees box, an artificial nest, where I watched their behavior. "Not long after this 3 discovered a winged black queen promenading under the apple tree ---vert likely n blood sitar of the others, for when I placed her with tli:em she was not attacked; as was a large ant with a red thorax that later I introduced azuong them. "Strange how ants reeoguire both friends and enemies through the sense of smel rather than by the sense of eight. No sooner do two ants meet than they erase noses. so to speak, in order to aeeertain who is who. If the insects find that they belong to different com- munities war is at once declared, "This was the ease when the ant with the red thorax was eonfined with the black ants. How vicious both species wore, how they snapped at and bit each other! One black ant succeeded in grab- bing an antennae, or feeler, of her antag. onist, to which size held as the big red ant dragged her from place to place. "Another black smelled her opportun- ity and caught the hind leg of the enemy, who was thus greatly handicapped in her movements. Still she succeeded iu killing both black ants, although she eould not free herself from their death grip until I came to her assistance, "The queen had remained inactive dur- ing the conflict and had taken no part in cleaning up the nest; when all was again in order a worker ant approached her and after a short antenna conver- sation began to tug at her wings. Ap- parently this was to give the royal sis- ter to understand that she must now discard them and assume the responsibil- ities of egg laying, the work for which she had been mast carefully reared. "The young queen was not inclined to give up her gauzy appendages, however, so presently the worker resumed her ef- forts to loosen thein, but with no show of animasi'ty. Failing to aeomplish her purpose, she next caught the queen by her antennae and led her gently about the nest, and then held her in a corner for at least twenty minutes. "During this time the other ants came and 'touched her caressingly with their antennae, and one went so far as to offer her food from its mouth. It was a. clear ease of coaxing. They wanted this queen mother to deposit eggs and found a new colony. I do not kztow what arguments finally overcame tate queen's reluctance to give up her freedom. The next day I saw that she had yielded to the en- treaties of her sisters. She was wingless and depositing very minute eggs. "The black ants have what appear to be good natured wrestling matches among themselves. They are constantly on the move doing something, carrying the unwieldy cocoons from one place to another, regurgitating food for a com- panion, or making elaborate toilets," Minard's Liniment Co., Liinzted; Sirs,—I have used your MINARD'S LINI3IENT for the past 25 years, and whilst I have occasionally used other liniimnents, I can safely say that 1 have never used any equal to yours.

G. LESLIE. When Things Go Wrong. (Christian Guardian.) It is an easy thing to be kind and pleasant -when we feel like it." When the mind is at case, the body in full vigor, the conscience at rest, how nat- ural and easy it seems to speak kindly, to smile cheerfully, aua to look at the bright side of things. Some people call this religion, and think it is tea only genuine article. Surely this is a mistake. This kind of amiability is simply the result of bodily fitness, and may exist with little or no real piety. The amiabil- ity that eonnts is different to this. It is all that this is—and vastly more. A touch of indigestion, a twinge of rheuma- tism, a trifling annoyance puts this kind of amiability to flight. The smile dis- appears, the kind word dies, the outlook chance lese. Thank God, religion gives a the mercy of every east wind, of every chance lois. Thank God, religion gves a smile that persists, kind words that do not die with pain, and a cheerful out- look that no misfortune can obscure. The true Christian life is not at the mercy of the "feelings." The . Christian smiles when his heart is full of trouble; he spe.tks kindly and scatters sunshine when his cwn spirit is sore oppressed; he light- ens the burdens of others when his own burden is heavy and hard to hear. Have you this kind of religion? Do not think it is right to act as you feel. Christians act as tbey ought, no platter how they feel. If your heart be full of sunshine, let it out; if it be full of lurid lightning, shut it in. Your duty is to make the world brighter, and in doing it your own gloom will disappear. Costly goodness is the cheapest kind; it always pays. MEANNESS Or NATURE. Teeeher-•-Why de the frozen rivrern and lakes thew out in spring?

It Comes as Naturally, nd is as Wel- come as. • Sle.p.; The fear'' of death, which has been so enormously exploited' in dramatic literature, sacred and, otherwise, is said to- be almost without extetence in sick- ness.

One of the indispensables of torrid In- dia is the punkah, or large fan, 'which is operated by a colored servant to se- cure a draught of air and keep insects from disturbing the sleeper. The native is not always reliable, being apt to doze, and for tide reason efforts liiitve been made to devise a mechanically driven punkah. These efforts have failed, ow- ing to the difficulty of duplicating the action of the hand norked punkah, the special value of which consists in the sudden jerk given the fan by the native at each turn. Recently an electrically driven punkah has been devised in which this jerking motion is perfectly imitated by a "lath shaped spring" covered with leather, which slaps the fan to and fro. —Electrical Review, ilia M.

Ten 1.,000 franc bank notes, represent- ing the savings of a woman who lived at Nanterre, near farts, were hidden by her in an ala envelrpe, which was placed in a drawer. en a moment of forgetful- ness the envelope found its wily into a dust bin, In the morning the ragpiekera turned out the bin, but tossed aside the tatter- ed envelope without inspection. Some carters happened to pass that \vay. They picked up the now mud splashed piece of paper, ono remarking to the other: "Perhaps there is a fortune inside!" They drew out the. notes.. "This is some fool's pleasantry," they said; so' by way of revenging themselves on the unknown jolter and not believing the notes were genuine they tore them to pieces and threw them aside. Two market women came along short- ly afterward. With the shrewdness of their class they recognized the scattered pieces of paper and gathered them up and took them to the commissary of police. There they were pieced together and it was found that none was missing. Two hours later the notes so curiously discovered were restored to their owner. --London Chronicle.

I used to be very much afraid that my children while playing with others would be exposed to some contagious disease, and they were constantly on the lookout for trouble of this kind. One day little Louis, aged. 4, came rush- ing in from the street where she had been playing with a crowd of children. In a very excited manner she burst out; "heel, mamma, two of the Meyers chil- dren have something, but sister says she doesn't think we'll catch it, though." "Well, what is it, darling?" 1 asked. "It's the pigeon toes," she replied.— The Decembee Delineator. s.0 BETTER THAN SPANKING. Spanking does not cure children of bed-wetting. There is a constitutional cause for this trouble. Mrs. M.

The world's peppermint is grown on peppermint farms in the neighborhood of Kalamazoo. Over 300,000 pounds of pep- permint oil, worth $5 a pound, is pro- duced annually from the moist and -ink black soil of southwestern Michigan. Peppermint farming is simple. The roots are planted in the spring; the bushes, which are about 'three feet high, are cut down in the late summer; the stilling goes an through August and Sep- tember. An acre yields about twenty-five pounds of oil. The cost of this produc- tion—planting, weeding, stilling—is about $15. The oil itself brings $125. Thus every acre of a pepeprmint farm gives a profit of $110.—Prom the Minne- apolis Journal. 4.9 PILES CURED iN 6 TO 14 DAYS.
