seldom leave their ncut* during tbe very cold weather. On mild days In winter, bow^rer. they come opt and race through the treotop* and visit tbe large store* of nuts which they gathered and hid away In the autumn. Bed squirrels are smaller, but much hardier creatures than the gray ones, and. although they, too. have snug nests of cedar bark In the hollow trees, they use them only at night, for no weather la so severe as to keep these little fellows Indoors. They are about the most provident of all tbe creatures In the woods, usually storing away under brush heaps, beneath fallen logs and In hollow trunks for more nuts than they can possibly eat In one winter. They do not put them all in one place, as a rule; they generally have several boards at some little distance apart This Is a wise precaution, as ft sometimes happens that one store Is discovered and stolen by an enemy, and unless there was another supply to fall back upon the squirrels might die of starvation..

An Old Easllsh I Bn. The Baven Inn. an old hostelry Hook, near Bnslugstroke, England, waa built In 1653 and still retains its quaint old half timbered work, overhanging gables and small windows. Tbe bouse gained a wide notoriety in the latter part of the eighteenth century during

He succeeded at Portsmouth, where $300,000 damage was done: also at Bristol, but was failed at Plymouth. So great waa the scare that in response to a reward of $2,500 offered by tbe government for hla capture the whole country waa on tbe alert,'and he waa run to earth and captured In thla Interesting olff boose and eventually banged and gibbeted at Portamontb. His real nama waa James Altken.

A German magazine published tbe subjoined anecdote about Moltke: "Did yoo. your excellency, play whist when you were In France?” asked Herr von Bennlgsen of the great battle thinker one evening over a rubber. “Every day. when It waa possible,” replied Moltke. “We played half farthing points, so that at worn tbe players could not lose more than a shilling." One day Count Berth us y waa bis partner. "Why. my dear count did you play spades?” said Moltke. in a sharp and serious tone. T bad an Ides, your excellency, that you wanted spades.” "But my dear count one does not play whist according to Ideas, but according to rule.” replied tbe field marshal, ■hairing hla bead.
