The cediug. of a thirty year grazing

Domesticating the Beaver.
The =pie decline of beaver through-
out the continent and conaistent high
evices for the furs of these animals
have drawn attention in their direc-
tion, and the feasibility of domesti-
cating the beaver, or rather cultivat-
ing the animal in its wild state under
domestic restraints, le receiving much
consideration. A beaver ranch was
established last fall on the ranch of
Coles, a farmer of Milton, Prince
Edward Island, his first pelts, selling
for from $40 to $60 apiece, The loca-
tion for the ranch was an admirable
one, -the animals' natural haunt --with
provielen of natural eustenanee. The
busy little animele went right ,ahead
with their dame; the epecial wire
fencing lien to enclose them and pre-
vent possible migration did .not ae-
PaaentlY annoy them to any extent,
and they continued to propagate and
follow out their regular routine ere if
unhanmered by the schemes of man.

• Financial Year Begins in
the Spring.
ti•the great financial markets, as in
• .the ordinary affairs of. life, the ending
of the old year and the beginning of
the new: one -directs the thought of
the- whole community to what is be -
kind us And to what is ahead. The
average individual never wholly
shakes off the feeling that somehow
the new year will be a new elate on
Which a new and different experience
will be written. • The story of a twelve-
month just ended takes the shape of
a closed chapter; hopes, expectatlens,
and resolves are based on the vague
Idea that it will be easier to make a
cling°, especially if it is to be a
change -for the better, after, rather
than before, the 31st of December.
There'is a gond deal of this habit of
thinning in the discussions of national
prosperity and of national and inter-
national finance. That it is often 11-
lusory, the markets are well aware.
Long experience testifies that the
turn for better or worse in a financial
situation rarely happens with the
opening of January; that it is much
more apt to come in the later spring-
time or in autumn, For this the very
evident reason is that fundamental in-
fluehces such as the harvests of our
own and other countries, with their
important cousequeracce in the nation-
al wealth, international trade, prices of
conithodities, foreigu exchange mar-
kets and the rate for money, do not
really show their character in any
country, so far as concerns the de-
Yea:ferments of a given calendar year,
until April or May.
They cannot indeed be fully .mea-
mreclethrough the similar agricultural
results in the rot of the world, until
August or September. The definite
plans for the immediate future, even
of our own country's internal trade,
win largely have been completed by
the end of this present December;
but the framing of a new commercial
program for the next year as a whole
Is almost invariably postponed Until,
lo the springtime, underlying condi-
tions can be more clearly discovered.

Told by the King.
Stories about the King are legion,
but stovies about the King, told by the
King, are not so common, Here is one
the writer: has come across,. which his
Majesty told to Major-General Sir
David Wattion during a Royal visit to
,the battlefields.
"1 wa,s makirig a round of the front,"
said King dearge, "'when I passed a
group of American soldiers. One ob-
served me closely, and called to a
somrade:
a 'Hey, Bill, there's the Kingia
"His pal shouted back, 'What. d'ye
e mean, the King?' The other said,
'Right there, btiutheadl That chap
there 1 '
" 'Get out!' was the indignant reply,
Wise are ye gettire at? He ain't no
Icing! Where's hie crown?' "
Concerning Thunder and
Lightning.
Wet clothing is safest during a
thunderstorm.
There are no "thunderbolts." They
are merely globular lightning.
Sheet lightning is the reflection in
the clouds of a distant and unseen
flash. •
During thunder and Ugh -Ming the
middle ef a room Is the safest place in-
doors.
Death from lightning -1 in 8,000,-
000 yearly—is caused' by destruction
of the nerves. '
Forked lightning is caused by an or-
dinary flash being divided by high ob-
structions on the eanth.
The safest place outdoors in a then-
deritorm is to lie flat on the ground
ten yards from a tall tree.
Thunder is caused by the concussion
of the parted air as it closes after hav-
ing been djvided by lightning.
--Fulgurites, often mistakeu for thun-
derbolts, are fused hollow tubes, pro-
duced ifresandy soils by lightning.
The torrential rain that follows
lightning is because the air has been
changed and cannot hole Its moisture.
Ziz-zag lightning Is caused by a
strata, of heavy air resisting the Rash,
which then zig-sags to find an easier
path.
Lightning strips barks from trees,
and clothes from people, because eaoh
resists the passage of the electric cur-
rent
The gusts of strong wind that follow
lightning are due to the air rushing to
fill the vacuum created by each flash.
The fusing of metal by lightning is
not because of its softness, but be-
cause it is too small to give wfull path
te the current.
Lightning is most frequent in the
sunifner because heat produces great
evaporation, whin in turn develops
electricity.
Lightning would be invisible were
the air a conductor. As It is a non-
oonductor it cannot convey the elect-
ric fluid invisibiy,
Lightning conductors are oE copper
because it "conducts" better than any
other metal, will not fuse so easily,
and is less liable to gorrosiou.
Lightnitig, apart from ite "striking"
danger, is extremely healthful. It pro.
duces nitric acid, and cleans the whole
atmosphere of flexions exhalations.

PART III.
The attath and death of ono of the
wolves had a etrange effect upon the
Woman, In that moment something
—possibly tradition winging down
through the ages—descended upon her
and held her powerless to combat it,
Perhape in mime long -forgotten era a
cave -woman anceitress had stood
thus and beheld her mate battling
against unfeir 'odds for his life and
hers. A. warm hand (seemed tO clutoh
her heart; there was A tightening of
theewalls of her throat, She dowered
the rifle and dumbly held out ha hand
to her husband.
-
With a leap, he reached her side,
"Run!" he panted, ehifting the ass to
his right head and putting his arm
acmes her sheulders protestingly.
"It's our only,cliancel"
Swiftly they ran toward the cabin.
But before they had gone fiftY yards,
Iwo other gaunt, gray monsters stole
out of the, scrub ahead of them, cut-
ting off their escape, They halted
abruptly. quickly the man exehanged
1112 ax for the rifle, threw up the wea-
pon and pulled the trigger.
A sharp, metallic click was the only
result. The gun was empty.
With an articulate gasp, tho man
flung the useless weapon down and
took back the ax. But the momeneary
delay had proved costly. Two other
wolves had snealced out of the scrub
and joined the others. They crouched
on their haunches, and with bared
fangs and beady eyes watched their
prospective victims. From the deep,:.
er woods behind the man and woman
came a snarling chorus arid clicking
of teeth where the other wolves of
the paok wero feasting on their fallen
mate,
The man looked round for a possible
avenue of escape. The woman pressed
close to him and stared, fascinated, at
the wolves. A few rods -off to the
right stood a jackpine that had out-
grown its stunted mates. Its wiry,
(trooping limbs offered a temporary
refuge for one person. Toward this
shelter the man guided the woman.
The wolves followed with zigzag
movements,' slyly attempting to les-
sen the distance between the -and
their quarry.
When they reached the tree, the
man stood low and commanded tho
wernan to mount to his shoulders and
swing up int .° it. She obeyed. Then
when she•was perched safely on one
of the sagging limbs, her feet above
the level of his head, he placce his
back to the trunk of the tree, and
with ax upraised, waited for the as-
sault.
The snarling and snapping deeper
in the woods had ended. In ones and
twos, to the number of ten, gray mon-
sters slunk out into the open and
joined the four evolves facing the man
and woman.
Tom Boardman silantly contemplat-
ed the -wolf-pack and prayed his
strength and agility would prove
equal to the impending task. In the
tree, his wife clung tightly to the
branches about her -and watched the
scene below. She tried to think, but
could not. Fear:stark fear, gripped
her, and she could only stare. -
With tailsdraggingand bodies hug-
ging the snow, the wolves bevel to
circle the tree. The man found it
difficult to watch all siderzit once,
and the wolves, Tealizinse their ad-
vantage, gradually elosed in.
Suddenly one of the pack, evidently
a leader, made a lightning swift leap
st the mans legs. The ax was equally
swift. A second ,and a third wolf
emulated the manoeuvre of the first,
bu't the ax was too quick for them,
too.
"Four!" cried the man exultingly.
"Come on, you skulking cowards!" he
challenged them.
The destruction of three of their
number in rapid succession served to
make the wolves more cautious. They
adopted tactics that they had often
employed euthessfully M pulling down
a moose at bay. Two leaped at the
man from opposite sides at the same
moment. The ax put an end to one's
career, but the other's fangs found
them objeet. Rapier keen, they slash-
ed his leg from his knee half way
down to his ankle, and their Miler
sprang back to safety. Two othei,
wolves essayed the sem feat, but
they -were not nim'hle enough. Both
went down under the terrible ax.
"That's seven!" the man flung over
his shoulder. "We're top dog yet!"
"Tom," his wife warmed, "your
leg---et's bleeding!"
"Yee," he grunted, and gritted his
teeth. "It's only a scratch, but I
guess; ha-ve to tie it up. See if
you can tear a strip off your under-
skirt and pass it down to me.n The
shoe of the injured len felt hot, He
wriggled his toes. 'A sloshing sound
resulted, "Tear off a good stout strip,"
132 tieged, careful to reveal no anxiety
in his toes.
Steady ig herself by pressing her
l
feet to the treo teunk, the woman tore
a broad strip of cloth from her under-
skirt, "Make it into a loop," her hus-
band directed, "and break me air a
dead branch about a feet long." She
complied.
FIe.shifted the ax to his right hand,
received the loop of cloth and stick
with the other hand awl, raising' his
injuTed leg, slipped the makeshift
tourniquet over the foot, the while
keeping his attention on the wolves.
Just noire the knee lie settled the
loop. The wolves,' seemingly puzzled
by hie actione,' had drawn back and
he had time to wiact the stick.
"Oen you do it alone?" the •evo-
man asked anxiously.
"Yep," he respondoil; "another turn
anaThie'sl—cno"t in the cloth had parted
and stick ansl ell fell to the snow.
Barely in time the man whirled end
,cut down a wolf that had sneaked up
behind him and speurig at his beck.
Suddenly the woman sprahg from
the tea and „dropped to her knees on
the crimsoneci snorer at her husbenclis
feet. The wolves, startled; withdrew
several y,ctrcle. With deft fingers the
woman tied anetime stroitger Ictrot in
the fibrin of cloth, and wound It tightly
about 'her husband's leg above the
wound.
When her task was finiehed she rose
and howed ne inclination 10 eliinb
back into the ten.
"Toni," shethiti cattily, "if eve leave

"I think see—if yoU are eof; afraid
to try it;" her iniebeed eepliod.
The peat moved cautiously awey

from the tree. The wolves followed
ars far as their deactoonaraclea, then set
upon the stiffening bodies and began
to tear them to pieces, whereupon the
man mid woman -wheeled and ePed

Veached for the latch on the door and
missed it. Passing his hand across
his eyes as if to Oleer his vision he
reached again, and fading the latch
this time he slid•it back and.pulled
the door open.
"Loss—blood—" he mumbled and,
staggering, fell, . The Woman bent to
essiet hit. The touch of the snow
seemed to steady his reeling brain.
"Look," he cried cut, pointing; "the
wolvee I" .
The woman graeped the ax which
had fallen from his hand and- wheeled
to face the menace. Two long, gaunt
wolves whose depressed stomachs dis-
tinguished them from the cannibal-
istic members of the pack in the
timber, had stolen up on the maxi and
woman. The ax flashed down -ward as
the foremost wolf slashed at the wo-
man's thigh and would have cut him
in two had he been less agile. '
With a etrength she never before
knew she possessed the woman drag-
gd her husband into the cabin, never
teking her eyes off, the vigilant wolves
as she did so. Then, when she lied
closed the door, she darted to the' fire-
place and obtained a kettle of water;
next she procured some clean clothes
and a knife, and after cutting aaray
her husband's shoe end opening the
leg of his trousers, washed and dress-
ed his wonna.
When Tom Boardman awakened 11
was night. Por a long moment he
stared at the rosy reflection from the
fireplace tat played upen the rafters
overhead, trying to comprehend why
he should be lying in bed. Then mine
recollection, and he started at a sound
that appeared to emanate from the
adjoining room. Re glance 1 through
the doorway;
In the glow of the fireplace his wife
sat snuggled in a huge rustic arm-
chair, her elbows on her knees and her
chin in the patine of her hands as she
stared at the denting flames and softly
hummed a tune.
"Virginia,' he called, softly.
"Virginia," he said, "as soon as this
gash in my leg heals, I'll take you out
to the railroad, so you can go home."
She`esmiled, seated herselee beside
him and laid her hands on his,
"I made a mistake, Tom," she re-
turned, gently. "I thought you whip-
ped me yesterday; then when I swept
up this morning I found the pieces of
the whip, and it was so rotten it
couldn't have hurt me. Let's forget
all that unpleasantness,"
"You mean," he cried, amazed, "you
are willing to start all over again?"
"I guess we have. both learned a
lesson," she replied. "Dy spring, when
we go back to the oity, I think we
shall understand eaoh , other better."
From a point far back in the timber
came the high-pitched, staccato cry
of a wolf. Virginia Boardman trembl-
ed, and 'her husband'arra went about
her anl drew her closer to him.

That of Big Denis was a French
general's, which hie wivcia managed .to
get ,hina into; that of Little Denis was
a Hussar's, and its intricate out,
numerous buttons, straps and buckles
and painfully small size proved quite
too much for him. He sent the prince
a -despairing message, begging help,

bring him aboard,
They fulfilled their errand, but, with
the mischievousnese of their kind,
they so tightened every fastening of
his overtight attire that the poor youth
was nearly bursting with combined
pride and suffocation when he arrived,

be got out of his unwonted finery by
any method less drastic than cutting

A Colorful Chinese Wedding.

festivities began several days ago with
a reception to the brit* then a dinner

There were about 200 guests, Chi-

a most marvellous head dress, The
bridegroom wore our conventional

There was a procession, of course,
from the bride's home to the hotel,
the bride riding in a red and gold se -

bearing banners and lanterns and
playing weird music. There was a
feast also, of which nothing was left

Test juice for pectin. ,
Alcohol Test.—To ene tablespoonful
of boiling, hot juice add one table-

well and let it stand for five minutes.
If the pectin forms a laTge clot or
mass, it indicates that it is present
in large amount and that a compara-
tively large amount of sugar will be
required.
Epsom Salts Test.—This is also a
very satisfactory one. Mix together
one teespoon cooked fruit juice, one-
half teaspoon sugar and the same of
Epsom- salts. , Stir until all are dis-
solved and let stand five minutes.
"Setting" will indicate a good jellying

By Paragraphs 380 ana 384 of the
Treaty of Versailles the rights of the
Gernums in the canal have been re-
stricted, and this navigable way is in
future to be free to all ships of coun-
tries at peace -with Germauy, and no
special tolls may be collected beyond
those already provided for. This limi-
tation inspired Vice -Admiral K. Hole
weg to utter these melancholy words:
"In what concerns the Kiel Canal
we are as 010011 bound as on our great
rivers. We aro no longer masters in
our own house."
Freedom of Kiel Canal.
It was little more than twenty-five
years ago, notes the Gazette Preece-
Americaine, that the Kaiser inaugu-
rated the canal which bears his mune
and which unites the harbor of Kiel
with the mouth of the Elbe across
Slesvig. In his address on the occa-
sion of the inauguration the Emperor
said that "the canal, despite its
strategical importance, muse ixid Peace-
ful relations and increase the pros-
perity of peoples." The operations of
construction had been begun eighteen
years before by Kaiser William I.
The length of the canal is 99 kilo-
meters and the Initial cost of the en -
with apple are good combinations.
Another plan is to make orange pectin.
Do it this way:
Cut or grate the yellow rind from
oranges Or lemons, take off the re-
maining white rind and chop it or
put it through the food chopper. Mix
1/4 pound of the chopped white with
one quart of cold water and 4 table-
spoons lemon juice. Let stand 15 man-
utes, then add I, quart of water and
boil ten minutes. Let stand over
night, reheat and, boil ten minutes,
strain and cool. It may be used at
once or can be'bottled and Preserved.
Add iu sufficient quantity to any boil-
ing juice to give a good pectin test.
Apple Pectin.—Ono pound apple,
skins and cores, juice of one lemon.
Cover with one quart of water and
boa one-half to three-fourths of en
hour. DraM through a heavy flannel
jelly bag without pressure. Ilse at
once or bottle and process 15 minutes,
Sugar Measure.—If you are in
doubt concerning the quantity of sugar
to use, then the following general
-measurements are helpful although
not absolutely reliable:
Use et to 1 cup of sugar to 1 cue
of fruit juice for currants, SOUT apples,
crabapples, blackberries, blueberries,
quince and oranberries; IA to a -a eup
sugar to 1 cup of juice of ripe grapes
and plums, using the larger amount
of sugar (1 cup) only for the juice
first drained off,
Too much sugar cause a jelly
with it tendency to run.
Too little acid will cause a tough
jelly or may prevent jellying entirely;
add lemon juice; citric acid or soer
fruit juice if tasting; reveals lac]: of
acid. .
Over -cooking will give a atiff, gum-
my jelly, lit only to use in ices or
puddings requiring snch flavor.
