'rhe so-called robin here derives its name from the fact of its being red - breasted. It bears no resemblance to the robin in reality; it belongs to the thrush family, its true name being the American red -breasted thrush, and it is in no way* connected with the robin, which is not a. migratory' bird, whereas. all thrushes are. The English robin will not, like the sparrow, live and thrive in this country. Theyare imported in large numbers from Europe every year for cage birds only.

In the skin of a dog or cat it will be not- iced that at the roots of the longer, coarser hair there are fine, short hairs,. called "under fur." In most animals these hairs are so few that they are usually overlooked. Not so with sealskin. Tb.e skirt after go- ing through various processes to cleanse it of grease, etc., is stretched flat with the flesh side uppermost, A flat knife is then passed over it, thinnin gthe skin considerably. In doing this it loosens the roots of the longer hairs, which are more deeply embedded than those of the under fur. The rough hairs are thus got rid of without injury to the softer fur. Next the pelt passes through opera- tions which soften and preserve it. `.Chen comes the dyeing, by which the uniform tint so genrally admired is obtained. And now the fur is ready for making up. —Montreal ontreal Standard. Better That, Spanking Spanking does not eure children of bed-wetting There is a constitutional cause for this trouble. Mrs. M.

The Rattler Does Not Warn, This is one reason for the continued ex- istence of the rattlesnake in the midst of enemies who would exterminate it, for, contrary to the general belief, the rattler rarely gives its characteristic . note of warning until actually attacked. In fact:, the sharp, vibrant ring of its terminal appendage is probably designed more to assist this very defiance or warning. In the first place, serpents possess but the most rudimentary traces of auditory ap- paratus and are practically deaf, the deficiency in the sense of hearing being compensated for by an extreme sensitive- ness of feeling which makes them aware of the approach of moving objects by the vibration of the ground. Hunters, treading cautiously upon a eon carpet of moss or leaves to avoid a rattler without disturbing it or receiv- ing warning, and while many snakes are seen and killed by them, it is probable that a far greater number are passed by unnoticed. All snakes are timid and would rather run than fight, and the rat- tler is not inviting certain destruction by advertising its whereabouts in the brush. --From "Sone Rattlesnake Fallacies," by Francis Metcalfe, in The Outing Maga- zine for Oetober.
