FOX AN EXPERT MOUSER. Reynard Shows His Appreciation cf, Gentle Treatment. The following account of the effects ol environment comes from a land own- er in Silesia and should prove interes!t- ing to all lovers of the animal world. One of the keepers, says the Pall Mall Gameiie, came on a. iiltter of young foxes, each . about the size of a half grown cat. There were eleven of them, and ten were quickly disposed of in the neighborhood. The eleventh, however, was delicate. He seemed fo have had a blow across the loins in babyhood and was bul a sickly fellow. Ilis condition awakened sympathy in the household, and he was tuken in and nursed 'and pelted into robust health. ul care and gentle treatment are now showing their effect not only on yeung Reynard's pitysique, but on his general behavior and the view he takes of things. Before all others he loves his master and mistress. Next lo them, he esteems the house dog. In fact, should a pack now come across his way Foxy would probably show delight and an inclination to také each on for a game. Brushed and combed, it is his pride to show himself in the drawing room when requested, or to accompany his mistress on her walk. A few weeks ago he was missed, and it was found thal he had gone to pay his devoirs alone at a house where he had been pelted. gelting no further, however, than the front door, where he siood importunately scratching. Nor jis it all take on his part and no return, He has become a very expert mouser. By day. however, he loves best to re- cline before the kitchen fire on a little old rug. » jcc lillian SENTENCE SERMONS, Greed prevents Wal gain. There is no saving anger without love.
