The writer once saw some rnts enrrying away hardtack from n ipinntity of military stores. To get those large square crackers out of the room they were olillged to pass them through n vertlenl crack lietwccn two bonrd. After dragging the crack ers to the opening ono rat would hold an edge of n biscuit down, while an other would rn!m the opposite edge by pushing Its nose under It farther and farther until the cracker assumed nn .erect position, when i third rat Would push it Into the opening. With additional help from the outside the biscuit was soon under the floor of an old shed adjoining the warehouse. Ia this way they took eleven crackers through thnt opening In a little over a a hour. Another domestic pest belonging to this order Is the mouse.

Its master finally became so much attached to the Inno cent little creature that their final part ing caused him genuine grief. Ou ar riving at his boarding place one rather cold day the author pulled off bla over coat, picked up a book and sat down' to read. Ho was hardly seated In the largo easy cbuir before he felt a squirming under his outer clothing just . below the point of his heart. He knew at once thnt it was caused by Foxy, his pet mouse. When .he unbuttoned his vest without thinking of what the result might be, Foxy sprang out. Finding himself in a strange place, tho mouse gave two or three fright ened leaps, when a cat, lying apparent ly asleep in a chair, gave ihnse. Foxy ran under a bookcase and disappeared through a hole made by some of his brother mice. Let as hope that be found congenial companions and lived happily. Tho largest of the rodents In North America is the beaver, an animal much valued for its fur, Tho beaver js so cial in its nanus, it cnooses a mate, ana mey work together in bulldiug a house. They begin In August or Sep tember, nnd by the. time cold weather sets In thev have comnleted their house I to six at birth and nre born In JIav. The mother weans them In about six weeks, and thev then care for them- selves. Many families sometimes build their homes In the same pond, but each family constructs Its own house and provides its own winter stores. When a stream Is selected as the place for a settlement nnd. It is uot deep enough I to Insure water all winter, the beavers unite In building a dum to raise the water to a depth sulBclent to guard against Its freezing to the. bottom. They display considerable skill In con structing these dams, which are built of timber, stones, sods and mud. The trees for building the dam and also those used in their homes are always cut up stream, so thnt they may be I easily floated to the place where they nro to bo used. If there la hut llttlol current lu the stream, the dam la built straight across at right angles to the current, nut ir there Is a strong cur rent the dnm Is built either lo a curve tip strenm or In two wings meeting at nu nnglo up stream to resist the cur rent more successfully. The full grown beaver Is between two and three feet long, exclusive of tire tall, and weighs from thirty to sixty pounds. It Is es pecially fitted for life lu the water.

The squirrel Is the most beautiful and graceful animal of the order. It la found In nil bulutable parts of the world except Australia. There are many species, but we must content ourselves with a few words concern ing one of the most common, tbe gray squirrel. It ia easily tamed and Is very active when In a revolving wire cage. A pair live togither from year to year nnd eneh year rear a family of four. Dvo or six young. The young are born In early summer, and, though they are wenned In nlnrnt a month, they usually live In tbe paternal home until tbe following spring, when they seek their mates nnd start homes of their own. They live in hollow trees or buHd their nests among the branches. CornQclds nre sometimes ravaged to so great an extent thnt farmers wage a wnr of ex termination against squirrels, and whole nelgbborbooila turn put to hunt Tbe flesh of several species Is highly esteemed ns a fond. In this particular the fox squirrel la most prixed, as It becomes very fnt toward winter.
