Dust is one of the groat enemies of Industrial workers. It destroys the power of the body to fight disease by clogging up tho human machinery.

The mink Is a little animal that is fouud mo‘.t anywhere in the northern part of oar country. The creature is about fifteen or eight­ een inches long, a relation to the weasel and the skunk and shaped something like they are. It lives along brooks and rivers in a burrow or hole in the bank. Its food is fi -li when It can get fish and frogs or small aniinain when Huh la not to bo had. : / . The mink will'take birds, and some­ times It will go for tho farmer’s poul­ try, • So when a country boy sees a mink near tbe farm be Is apt tD try very hard to catch ID Tlie mink is a cruel little animal it­ self and can fight bravely if cornered. The mink is ft very fine fisherman. His way of getting the fish is to trot along the bank of the stream until he sees one: then he will dive after it. lie can swim under water aa well as tho fish, and If it tries to hide under a log or In a grotto under the water the mink swims right after it and, grab­ bing it in his strong Jaws, soon makes short work of it. Tbe Indians of British America, way up in tho far north, admire the mink very mvt<h. Indian mothers have a lullaby-.which they sing to their lit tic ones, and it goes something like this: Seo the merry mink thoro dlvti-y In tho water eloar dad coot. For tins »r>ocl;led salmon, seeking - In Use JUy crested pool. Although the fur of tlie northern mink is much finer than that of tbe animals found in milder regions, mink can live in almost any of our northern states. In winter Mother Nature gives tbe minis n thick apd handsome coat, and it is then that trappers set traps fo catch him’. No matter how‘cruel the mink may ; he, these traps are more cruel still, for the poor beast Is held a living captive, sometimes for several days, till the trapper makes his rounds and puts him out of his misery, ’ Boy Scouts Patriotic.

He desires a strong bnily, an aloft mind and an un­ conquerable spirit,. sp that lie may serve his country hj any need.
