CANADIAN FOREST CARE. 
Consul George W. Shott, of Sault Ste, Marie, 
alls attention to a movement in Canada to care 
or the forests. He writes: 
“The Government is exercising special care to 
reserve the smaller growths of the forest for 
j ie future, prescribing the size of all timber to 
e cut. All cutting is being done under the 
irection of Government employees, who also 
aok after the forest fires and otherwise see 
aat the smaller growths are not injured.” 
FOX HUNTING IN 1700. 
Two or three hundred years ago any one who 
tid he had been “fox hunting” would have laid 
imself open to a misconception of which there 
; no longer danger in a modern November. Ac- 
! nrding to the “Dictionary of the Canting Crew” 
about 1700) “he has caught a fox” meant “he 
; very drunk;” and this is what a writer meant 
1 1599 when he observed that “whoever loves 
ood wine hunts the fox once a year.” “Foxed” 
gnified drunk, and to “fox” a man was to make 
im so; Pepvs records that he “almost foxed” 
)r Thomas Pepys with Margate ale. Was the 
riginal idea that of playing a foxy trick on a 
lan? Or, as one passage half suggests, that 
f painting his nose a foxy red ?—London

COURT TRIALS OF ANIMALS. 
The decision of the Southwestern Police 
kourt (London) Magistrate that a monkey may 
se the pavement if he causes no obstruction, re- 
linds us that down to a comparatively late 
Fieriod' on the continent, the lower animals were 
; nnsidered amenable to the laws. Domestic 
nimals were tried in the common criminal 
[Hurts; wild animals fell under ecclesiastical 
irisdiction. French antiquaries have discovered 
(lie records of ninety-two processes against 
fjnimals, conducted with the strictest formalities 
f justice, from 1120 to 1740, when the last trial 
nd execution, that of a cow, took place. Thus 
-iere was a law suit that lasted from 1445 to 
487 between the inhabitants of St. Julien and a 
rind of beetle; and at Lavigny, in 1457, a sow 
nd her six young ones were tried on a charge 
f having murdered and partly eaten a child, 
he sow was found guilty and condemned to 
eath, but the little pigs were acquitted on ac- 
aunt of their youth, the bad example of their 
tother, and the absence of direct proof against 
aem !—London Chronicle.
