We were with a hunting party last sum-
mer on the large island Of Grand Menan, in
the bay of Fundy. The shores of the island
are p~recipitous, and the plateau between
them is densely wooded. Pursuit of game
led them far into the forest, and 1t was not
long before they found themselves lost
They roamed about for a long time, and
were coming to the conclusion hat they
would have to camp out for the night when
an indefinite sound, a sort Of humping at
pretty regular intervals, attracted their at.
tsntion.
Woodchoppersl" said some one.
Not a bit Of it," said another who had
been some time in the west and southwest
ats a cow-bell, and the COW is not half q
mile away
The party pushed through the dense under
brush toward the sound, and soon came
upon a pasture, whence there was a path to
n habitation. Soon afterwerd the roaring
Of the sea was heard, and the party emerged
from the woods upon the road along the
cliffs.
Having recently found a rural expert in
cow-bells, we learn that they are valued
according to their weight and thickness, and
not for the clearness Of their tones. The
reason cow-bells are made thick, heavy and
of an angular shape Is that they may pro
duce a humping sound. Somehow or other
that sort Of sound from a cow-bell is carried
further through the woods than any sound
Of similar strength.

sWe make ten pairs OF CATERS or buttoned
shoes to one pair OF boots nowadays" said a
shoemaker. Twenty years ago nearly
everybody wore boots"
what was the reason Of the changer
There are various reasons. Callers are
much more handy than boots. and they look
heater. Then, again, they cost much less,
and they are easier on the feet. No one
ever wore boots in a walking-match."
ANY other reasonf'
YES, on the shoemaker's side. There Is
more money in CATERS. They are more
readily made, sell more quickly because they
are cheaper, and there is less waste leather
about them.p
Have boots any advantagesF

for rough travelling they wear better. They
