Muskrats.

Twoßallowell (Mo.) sportsmen saw an interesting family in a Maine stream. They suddenly found their boat surrounded by young muskrats, which were us play ful as kittens, diving and oomin ' to the surface again, swimming around the bout and ldoking up to it With oyes that did not betray the least suspi' ion of danger. For some minutes the two men watched the mun.euveres. until the two old muskrats made theii appearance. The latter came out from the shore and dove with a splash \hal seemed to be the signal for the younger ones to tpllow, which they quickly did.
