FLEET FOOTED CARIBOU.
They Can Trot Faster Than a Grey
hound Can Run.
In Maine It Is contended that the cari
bou can outrun any other animal. Ac
cording to the testimony of one woods
man, caribou left behind a greyhound
that bad been matched against them.
A guide succeeded in starting the
dog after some caribou a herd of
four standing like statue- on the ice
of one of the big ponds in the region
along the west branch of the re nob
scot. Now, the caribou trots, instead of
running, like most other wild animals.
In the present case there had been a
plentiful fall of snow, a rain which
bad formed a thick crust and then an
other fall of snow, ali of which con
stituted the very finest surface where
on to hold a race of this description.
When the greyhound was loosed Its
owner confidently expected that It
would outrun the caribou.
When the caribou woke np and bic
their pace It was a Bight to see them
They did not appear to be proceeding
with much s(eed. but as the hound
drew up on them they Increased their
pace. The hound was doing his very
best, but made no headway against th
caribou at alL The dog stuck to it
with courage, but before It was half
way across the pond the caribou had
reached the other side and disappear

The Stnsitiv Razor.
"There is no sensatlou in matter,"
remarked a man over the -luncheon
table to the man of science, who
thought it was a suggestive saying.
"But what about my razors?" be
asked. And then he described the
razor which had been with him round
the world faithfully and wanted only
stropping day by day a wonderful
razor. But when It came back to a
London flat It refused Its office. The
razor wouldn't work more than one
day without going to the hospital. "Do
you mean to tell me that that razor
doesn't feel," said Its owner "doesn't
feel the difference of climate, tempera
ture? Why. If you know anything
about razors you know tbey ore the
keenest and most sensitive things In
the world." -London Chronicle.
