THE DEER.
The Instinct which Leads Them to Avoid
Their Natural Enemy.

From long experience and close OBJ
servation of the habits of game, old
hunters know exactly how and where
they may expect to find deer, according
to the conditions of the weather or ma
ture of the country. They know when
deer will be found in the swamps, when
they seek the elevated ridges. and when
they need be looked for only in the val
leys and gorges. qf a snow storm is
gathering the hunter knows it is useless
to expect to start deer on the ridges;
for at least three days before such a
storm the instinct of the animal warns
it of its approach, and the deer leave
the hills and eater the swampS, where
they huddle together until the storm has
come and gone. If the weather grows
colder after the storm they again seek
the kills.
A deer's eyesight is not sharp, but its
sense of smell and hearing are most
acute. The swapping of twig will
startle the game and send it flying over
the hills before the hunter is within
gunshot. and the gentlest breeze blow
ing from the hunter will carry notice Of
his presence to the sensitive nostrils OF
the deer. although he may be half a
mile away. The approach upon deer
must therefore always be against the
wind No matter how strong or cutting
the blast, the hunter must face it as he
stalks, or he will never be rewarded
by the sight of q deer to say nothing
of his getting q shot at one. On
rainy days, when the leaves are wet
and packed to the earth, it is posi-,
bic for wary and experienced hunters to
approach within few feet of the game
without their presence being known,
The hunters are often particularly eX.
pert at hunting of this kind, and it i!
not uncommon for them to steal to
within twenty feet of the largest buck
on days when the noise of their foot
steps is deadened by the damp leaves

The reported interment alive of Miss
Cox, of Okonoko. w. Va, relates the
Cumberland Times, recalls to mind the
curious custom practiced by an old Vir-
ginia family, the Feudals, of Alexan-
dria. Whenever a member of the family
dies, the male representative of the
older branch thereof, just before the
hour for interment, buries dagger in
the heart of the dead to assure himself
of no reawakening. The dagger used
is one sacred to the purpose, and has
been devoted to its use for many gener-
ations. The custom originated because
of the burial alive of a member of the
family and an inherited tendency to a
peculiar form of heart disease.

Some time ago a confidential clerk
in the employ of firm in Indiana
skipped the gutter with several thou
sand dollars in ready cash. While it
was determined to hunt him down at
all hazards the firm did not feel like
wasting great deal of money in SO
doing. A one-horse country detective
was therefore employed, and after a
while he traced his man to Detroit.
The detective did not propose to share
any of the glory with the Detroit Of
ficers, and he slid around for week
before he learned that his man was in
Windsor Then he went over there,
still working on the quiet, and a nice
young man at one of the hotels in
formed him that the defaulter had
just gone to Toronto, but would be
back i'll a few days. The pair became
fast friends, and the nice young man
had his daily drinks and cigars at the
detectives expense. The two came
over to Detroit and attended the
theatre and had a good time, and it
was the opinion of the officer that he
never met such nice young man.
Finally, night or two ago, as they
landed from boat on the other side,
the detective inquired:
You must be an agent Of some
sort?"
"Oh, no." WAS the reply, 81 am sim

"Where do you live when at home"

"Good gracious! but my home is
only three miles from Vincennss."
"Yes, / know"
"What did you do in Vincsnnes?"
"Clerked for Lath & Shingles"
what! Why, that is the very firm
that was robbed"
Eyes, 1 know" was the placid reply.
"And your name is-what" queried
the detective.
"William Green"
"Grsat scots! but you are the chap
who stole the money" howled the
officer.
Yes, certainly. What are you 60
ing to do about it?" calmly replied
the nice young man as he lighted an.
other fifteen-center.
