A GLORIOUS SIGHT.

The Manner I'm Which the Native New
foundland Deer Migrate From One Por-
tion Of the Island to Another.
The native Newfoundland deer is the
caribou Of reindeer, aspecimen superior
to those of Lapland or Norway, and
sometimes weighing as much as six
hundred pounds. These deer inhabit
the interior of the island, not in hun
dreds but in thousands; some who have
seen their armies in the marching season
think in hundreds of thousands. The
interior being wilderness, they find
no interruption save now and again
once in fifty years-when an explorer
pushes his way across the region which
through the summer they make their
home. The marching time of the herds
is as regular as the seasons. When
snow covers the ground in the north
western portion of the island they turn
their faces toward the south. and by
steady marches along the leads. reach
the southwestern or less severe part of
the island, where through the winter
months they can get browse and lichens.
Some of those who have been camped
near the main lead in the marching
time have left on record that the deer
do not move in very large bodies, for
that would prevent them from grazing
freely. but that they march in herds of
from twenty to a couple of hundred,
that one such body is connected with
another by means of a sort of picket.
and that each detachment is led by q
tall stag. What glorious sight for the
huntsman from his eminence to see
body after body of these bright-eyed.
nimble-footed animals, bending their
course in true, parallel lines. either to-
ward the north or the south with the
regularity and the order of masses of
soldiers! Such 4 sight has often been
seen.-FOrest and Stream.

bank regularly honors the check and
charges it up to the deacons. who are

and relieves the pastor of much anxiety

Mr,
Night City Editor,
Give US a puff.

Mr.. Conant's suspicious were at once
aroused by this remarkable superscrip-
tion. Could it be that the man who
edited the city news was in collusion
with some outsider who was sending
him "a first-rate notice" for insertion
in the news columns. smuggling it in
without paying duty at the advertising
deska This was worthy of immediate
investigation. He Immediately sent for
the man to whom the package was adj
dressed and closely scanned his counte-
nance while the latter opened the en-
yelope.
And then the nature of the atrocious
attempt to tamper with the press was
made manifest The contents were
two fragrant cigars. wrapped in piece
of paper, on which were hastily scrawled
the same words that appeared on the
envelope-..Give us puff 1t was
signed with the initials of d. O'C.
Townley. a writer (since dead) who
was at that time attached to the staff of
the Times. The laugh that followed
was at Mr.. Conant's expense.
Well" he said. joining in the gen.
eral hilarity. II think that is worth your
notice. and lighting one OF the cigars
which was presented to him by the blue
pencil man of the City Room, he re-
sumed his duties at his desk.
Shortly afterward. entering the room
where the sub-editor was vigorously en-
gagged in "boiling' copy, apparently
deriving much aid and comfort in the
operation from the cigar which he was
silently putting while the smoke wreaths
curled above his head. like the steam
from any other boiler. Mr.. Conant said:
"Well. see that is sent up"
..Eh? what is?' asked the other.
"Why," said Mr.. Conant, pointing to
the fragrant clouds of tobacco smoke
that tioated overhead. "that is. That is

though timely, and to the man who. for
the moment. had rested under the faint
cloud of suspicion that was so speedily
dispelled. it has been a fragrant memory

Amusing Incident of $. $. Conant's Expert
ence on '.The Times" Recalled.
When Stillman S. Conant was man
aging editor of the Times, a short time
prior to the mysterious death of its
chief editor, Henry j. Raymond, his
first name was regarded as by no means
a misnomer. He was the mildest-man-
nercd managing editor that ever ordered
a two-column article to be cut down to
paragraph. But quiet as his general
demeanor was, he held the reins firmly
and sharply curbed any tendency to un-
due friskiness on the part of the editori-
al team that he was driving. He could,
however, take = joke and match it with
another.
One cold night in the winter of 1869 the
oox in which copy for the editor was
sent up stairs from the publication Of
flee suddenly shot up to the editorial
rooms, and sharp ring of the bell an
nounced that it had arrived with some-
thing in it.. Mr.. Conant stepped to the
box and took out package. somewhat
bulky, that looked rs if it might con-
tain something intended for publication.
Looking at it closely he read these
words on the envelope:

ISLE oF=JERSEY.
The Home Of the Thoroughbred AIilk Pro.
ducinH Animal.

ducinH Animal
The Island of Jersey contains less
than forty-six square miles, or about
$1,000 acres, and yet, according to the
census report, it supports over $4,000
head of cattle, besides some 10000 peo-
pie. There are annually exported from
the island over 1900 head. Thus the
island supports two persons to every
acre and one cow to every two acres,
and exports one animal to every ten
acres, and as Mr.. Eugene j. Arnold
Justly says in Bells Messenger, the sys-
tenn that will enable Jersey to do this
must be worth considering by the peo-
pie of other countries. He thinks the
Jersey cow has had much to do in en-
abling these favorable results to be ac-
complished.' She is not bred to be
eaten; she is too valuable as butter
machine Then why should she be
larger? Where $4,000 cattle are kept
ON six miles square and where rent
averages over forty-three dollars per
acre; where the farms are smaller than
anywhere else in the world, every farmer
works with his own hands, and instead
of the island being eaten up with cows,
and the farmers beggars, the whole
island is little garden. thickly strewn
with comfortable, well-to-do houses and
homesteads ease and comfort are
everywhere, poverty and want unknown.
He does not claim that this is all the
produce of the cows but that the
farmers who have SO close fight and
are so successful must understand their
business, and do not keep 200 cows at
a loss. All the beef for the people is
imported from France and Spain. With
1900 cattle they do not raise single
bullock nor make a single pound of
cheese. The cows are reared and used
for the production of butter. and that
alone. The Jersey will yield more but
Yer in proportion to her size and the
amount of food consumed than any 9TH
er breed whatsoever. She rarely ex-
ceeds 800 pounds and scarcely averages
700. and yet plenty of cows are to be
found that yearly make more than half
their weight in butter. She comes into
milk early. rarely past two years; often
before; gives richer milk, makes higher
favored butter, is docile and easily man.
aged even by children; and, lastly, she
is equally at home in hot or cold wealth
er. He says the Jerseyman would be
hard-pressed to get along without his
cow, and challenges the world to pro-
duce her equal. There is no doubt but
much of the prosperity of Jersey for sew
eral years has been largely due to the
demand in other countries for the sur
plus cows of the island. and the very
high prices that have been paid for those
1000 head exported every year.-Rural
| NeD Yorker.
