ANIMAL
KNOWLEDGE
in the early days wolves were com
paratively unsuspicious, and it was
easy to trap or poison them. Tuen
aew knowledge, a better comprehen
sion of the modern danger*, seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn
ed how to detect and defy the traps
and poNoii. and in some way the
knowledge was passed from oue to an
other till all wolves were fully pos
sessed of the information. How this
Is doue Is not easy to say. It Is easier
to prove that It Is doue. Few wolvea
ever get into a trap, fewer still get Into
a trap aud out again, and thus they
learn that a steel trap Is a thing to be >
feared. Aud yet all wolves have the
knowledge. as every trapper knows,
and since they could uot get It at first
hand they must have got it secoud ?
hand? that Is. the information was |
communicated to them by others of i
their kind.
It Is well known among hunters that i
a piece of Iron Is enough to protect any |

i ;,|iur or evea any part of the bunt
'r's dress No wolf will go near such
iUkplclous looklu:; or human tainted
things. They will starve* rather Thai"
approach the carcass no guarded.
With poison a similar change has
con* about. Strychnine was consid
ered Infallible when flrat It was Intro
duced. It did vast destruction for a
flint* then the wolves se?med to dis
cover the danger of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bult. as I know from number
less experiences.
It Is thoroughly well known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
of poisoning wolves is In the late sum
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mothet.
She cannot watch over all of them the
whole time, and there Is a chance of
some of them fiud'ng the bait and tak
ing It before they have been taught to
let that sort of smell thing alone.
The result Is that wolves are on the
Increase. They have been. Indeed,
since the late eighties. Tliey have re
turned to many of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu
merous aud more widely spread, thank*
to their mastery of the new proMemi
forced iijk?u them by civilization.?

EVILS OF
JLCOHOL
A paper published In Yorkshire.
England reports thnt some 6.000 chil
dren of Gatenhend were recently re
quired to do essays on "Physical De
terioration aud Alcohol." as tots In the
primary school* of thils part of the
world may now tos? off brochures on
"Variations In the Epithelium Cells In
Invertebrates, Marsupials and Planti
grades." These Gateshead children 1
had valuable thoughts to contribute to
the temperance movement. The York- 1
shire paper goes the length of pub
lishing some t>f the gems brought out
In this outpouring of Infantile sapi
ence. Here "are a few of same:
"Alcohol 1b useful," says one of j
them, being most exquisitely pithy, <
"but not In the body. It Is useful for i
polishing furniture."
"I hope 1 shall, never touch It until
I am dead," says another, and we wish
him luck.
"A man who takes alcoholic drinks
can soc two things at once."
"The children of drunkards are often
weak and ' are sometimes troubled
with being bowlegged"? truly an Ir
ritating affliction. 0
"Those who take drink are not so
broad chested as they were 100 years
ago." How true!
"When a man Is ill the doctor will
aay, 'Are you a drinker of alcohol?' i
and If he says 'yeff,' the doctor will
aay, "That Is what has made you 111;
you have a fatty liver.' "
"The more temporary we live the
better It will bo for body and mind."
"Some people say that If you want
to speak at a concert you should take
a glass of beer before. You should not.
It I? certain that It makes you speak,
but you speak a heap of rubbish.*'
"When a man gets drunk his brains
will not telegraph properly."
"I will finish up with n piece of poet
ry I have made up myself:
"Never be a drunkard:
Never touch the pin;
Always be teetotal.
And you'r* iure to win."

FACTS ABOUT THE CAPITAL
A walk over to the national capital
reveals to you nn edifice well worth

time in walking through it can you

2,000 horsepower of boilers, 8 steam
pumps, a lighting service equivalent to
26,000 Incandescent lamps of sixteen
candlepower each and over 14,000
square feet of skylights. This la all
on the luslde, and when we look over
the outside nnd the forty acres of land

It Is no small Job to keep the cobwebs

Troubles of the Juggler.
"Yes, I'm getting disgusted with the
business," said a Juggler at a local
vaudeville house. "Nowadays we have
to risk our lives at every show to get
a round of applause, and yet tho hack
neyed monologue artist can get Just as
much by denouueing hlsmother-ln-law.
There was a time wh^n the audience
was satisfied if I Juggled a fancy par
lor lamp on the end of a whip or tossed
up thrcp or four balls while standing
on instead on a trapeze, but now
well, He* don't seem ta get tbrllled at
anything. I do some difficult stunts
and break about $7 worth of stuff a
week. Why, the stuff 1 carry would
furnish an ordinary two story house.
I have triple the expense of a come
dian, have to keep In perfect physical
condition, can't smoke or drink, and
yet I don't get as much as a cracked
voice Joke huckster. Don't be a Jug

TRIES CUTICURA,
WELL IN SEVEN DAYS
"Cuticura Remedies have entirely
cured me after all other remedies had
failed. Up to a week or so ago I had
tried many other remedies ana several
dootors, and spent about throe hundred
doUara, without any success, hut this
Is to-day the seventh day that1 1 have
been using the Cuticura Remedies (cost
l tag a dollar and a half), which have
cured mo completely, so that I can
again attend to my business. I went
to work again to-night. My troublo
was as follows: Upon the limbs and
between the toe# my skin was rough
and sore, and also sore under tho arms.
I am a chef for a large caf<5 on Broadway,
and I had to stay at home several times
because of this affection. I had been
suffering for eight years and have now
been cured by tho Cuticura Remedies
within a week. I am much indebted to
Cuticura, and shall certainly recom
mend it to all my friends and colleagues

of Cuticura and 1 began to use Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Before a month
I saw a great change for tho better,
and now I am entirely cured. I had
no physician in charge. My little girl
