The slyness of these animals has passed into a proverb, “as sly as a fox” being a term often heard. There, ore many different wayfl to catch reynard, but there is one old trapper in the forests' of 'Maine who J ierhaps stands at the head of the ist in catching foxes. He has a manner of catching these animals which he calls his “ secret,” a plan which he learned when a boy in Ver­ mont and has successfully used for the last twenty years. Fox skins or pelts bring a good price, and from the -beginning of cool weather in October throughout the winter the hides are in fine con­ dition. •Steel traps, bait and many different things are used by different trappers in catching foxes, hut this old trapper's “ secret” stands at the top. His manner of procedure a dogs is some- when after'the little re what as follows: In a part Of the woods which is known to be inhabit­ ed by foxes—and they, can he found in nearly all sections, o f Marne—this trapper, with a steel trap, some cat meat, if it can be procured, and some skunk musk, proceeds' to set his snares.

As tills necessarily lias to ho handled, a small amount of skunk musk is put on it so that no scent is left. The steel trap is then sunk un­ der water where the canal, or if it is the brook proper, is but n few inches deep, On the plate of tho trap* where ah animal has to step be caught, is put a small sod* land. the bait on the __ The.result is plainly seen.

Hey- nafd,- coming after the meat resting so temptingly on the water, stops; on the little island or mound to get it and is lost. - A, trup of this kind is never fas­ tened down, as an animal will tear itself loose oftentimes, if securely held. A fair sized stick is attached by a rope or chain to the trap* and the fox cannot drag it far, as it catches on all of the trees, bushes or whatever Is in tho way.—Bangor Commercial. , WI|_Nerve< Since the engagement of pretty Miss B. luts been tin anUqunced fact her small brother has-been puzzling his bond to understand what t means. , “ Why,” explained his mother, “Mr. Skaggs has asked sister to mar­ ry him.
