Hunting Snow Birds.
Chicago Tribune.

The spectacle of a man hunting
game for q living on the street is not
an everyday occurrence. However,
it has been the case for the last two
weeks, and recently reporter had an
interview with the hunter ''Snow
birds" said he. sis no common dish,
and when feller feasts on such deli
cacies he has to put up 'andsomely.
However. [ make right smart livln'
at the business, an, if the police don't
molest me, [ hope to stow way right
smart sum fore spring"
''How did you come to know that
there was demand for such game?"
well, [ WIZ shootin' ducks all fall
an s'plyin' restaurants, when ore day
the boss tole me that ducks were a
drug on the market an that [ would
have to get up some new scheme. [
didn't want to starve and was kinder
scratchin' my head for an idea when
a little snow bird hoped In front of
the place. The boss saw him an says
to me: Bring me dozen of those
birds and I'll give you 60 cents [
tried to kill them with stones .an'
arrers, but it wouldn't work. [
wouldn't be lowed to use powder and
ball, SO I JUS buys this air gun, put a
slug in her, and let drive. See this
bag? Three dozen since morning got
'em all on Twenty second street.
The bag was filled with dead snow
birds, which IN a few hours were
served for food in a restaurant. The
birds are numerous along the cable
car line, and at this season of the year
are very fat. When dressed they
are about the size of small egg. and
are luscious to the taste. A restaurant
keeper who had over 100 in a window
was asked what was the cause of the
demand for such diminutIve game.
He said that delicate persons and in
valids were the classes that called for
the dainties. eve have any amount
Of calls for quail said the speaker.
'but when person orders snow birds
on toast, you can rest assured that ne
is ala invalid or else his stomach is in
a disordered condition. With the
usual side dishes, four snow birds
will cost you sixty cents-pretty
stiff price, but the invalid must have
'em."
In the meantime the hunter travels
around the street with an air
gun on his shoulder, looking for
food for the epicure and invalid. Oc-
casionally his aim is bad, and the shot
crashes through 8 street car or house
window. Such mistakes, however,
are rare. Up to Gate the hunter has
not been melested in his business,
which averages So per dav.

A young, stout and daring German,
living at Oppelsville, was sent to the
mountain to make rails. While look
ing around for suitable timber some
time in the forenoon he saw something
coming down the opposite side of a
tree from him. Without hesitating a
moment or thinking of the couse-
ouences he ran to the tree, and drop
ping his axe, he reached around the
tree and was amazed to find that he
had hold of the front paws of a half
grown bear while its hind feet We're
on the ground. The tree was about
two feet in diameter and just about
filed the space between the bear and
the lad. The bear, which had just
been feasting on honey from the tree,
was in good working order. When
the bear reached around the tree to
take hold of one of the young mans
hands he realized his situation, and
with strong grip he made the bear
stand up close to the tree, and the
way they danced around the tree
would have made deacon smile. In
full view stood log cabin belonging
to John Craus, and the young man
seeing smoke arising from the roof,
knew some one was at home and gave
his signal of distress. Hannes, one
of Johns boys, rather uncouth chap
of Is or 90 years, who is never In a
great hurry, came to the door and
saw the condition of affairs. He shut
the door, and having commenced his
dinner, completed that job and did
what other he had on hand. After a
few hours he went to the scene and
found the young German, almost ex-
hausted and with crampy arms, still
holding on to the bear. After the ex-
change of some commonplace greet
ings Hannes prepared to execute the
then very hungry bear. The German
thought as he had caught the bear he
would like to have the honor of kill
ing it. He pursuaded Hannes to think
likewise, and by some difficult mani
pulations they managed to exchange
places. AS soon as the young German
was free he picked up his axe, ighted
his pipe, and after telling Hannes that
he was too weak to kill the bear, hav-
ing no supper, he would go and get
his supper and then return and Kill
the bear, he started for nome in spite
of the protests and threats of Hams.
About midnight he returned with
some companions and killed the bear,
which dressed one hundred and four
pounds. The two men VINO held it to
the tree are sure its fighting weight
was 600 pounds. The difficulty be-
tween the two young men has been
amicably settled.

RicOchet Fire.

Since the introduction OF rifed can
non great change has taken place
in the mode OF firing in naval warfare
A writer says that ricochet fire is of
no practical value from rifed guns
firing elongated projectiles. In ex-
perimental practice over perfectly
smooth water, it will often be observed
that successive projectiles of high We
locity and rapid spin maintain a GER
tain uniformity of flight on the first
one or two bounds; but the slightest
irregularity of the rejecting surface
causes them to lose all certainty of
direction. The fatness of the ira
jectory of the rife, by greatly increas-
ing the dangerous space, has CORES
pondingly decreased the Importance
of ricochet fire. For smooth-bores
however, ricochet firing upon smooth
surface, within certain distances. has
some important advantages over
direct firing. When the guns have
very little or no elevation and are
near the water, as they are in ships
battery, the projectile strikes the
water at very slight angle. its flight
is not generally retarded by the Craze,
and it rises but very little above the
surface in its course. The distant
charge should be used, but the pene-
tration is not to be depended on be-
yond 1900 yards against unarmored
ships of war. At low elevations it re-
quires only correct lateral direction,
since the projectile would probably
strike a vessel, if within its effective
range, whether the actual distance
had been correctly ascertained or not.
The deviation of the projectile is,
however, generally increased by
ricochet, and in proportion to the
roughness of the surface Of the water.
Even slight ripple will make per-
ceptible difference, not only in direc-
ton but in range. penetration and the
height to which the proiectile will
rise In its bounds. When the water
is not smooth, the most favorable cir
cumstances for such firing are when
the. .fightgof the shot is with the roll of
the sea and that roll is long and regu-
lar. Shot rarely ricochet at all with
elevations above five degrees, and the
bounds are always higher with equal
charges from the same gun as the
elevation of the gun is increased.

The BrOnchO.
Santa Fe Democrat.

A brOnch0 is a horse. He has four
legs like the saw horse, but is decided
ly more skittish. The broncho is of
gentle department and modest mien,
but there isn't real safe place about
him. There is nothing mean about
the broncho, though; he is perfectly
reasonable and acts on principle. All
he asks is to be let alone, but he does
ask this and even insists on it. He is
nrm IN this matter and no kind OF
argument can shake his determina-
ton. There is broncho that lives
out some miles from this city. We
know him right well. One day a man
roped him and tried to put saddle on
him. The broncho looked sadly at
him, shook his head, and begged the
fellow, as plain as could be, to go
away and not try to interfere with a
broncRo who was simply engaged in
the pursuit of his own happiness, but
the man came on with the saddle and
continued to aggress. Then the bron-
cho reached out with his right hind
foot and expostulated with him so
that he died. When thoroughly
aroused the broncho is quite fatal.
and if you can get close enough to
him to examine his cranial structure
you will find a cavity just above the
eye where the bump..of remorse''should
be. The broncho is what the cowboys
call ''high strung" If you want to
know just how high he is strung,
climb up on his apex. We, rode a
broncho once. We didn't travel far:
but the ride was mighty exhilarating
while it lasted. We got on with great
pomp and derrick, but we didn't put
on any unnecessary style when we
went to get off. The beast evinced
considerable surprise when we took
up our location upon his dorsai fin.
He seemed to think a moment, and
then he gathered up his leins and
delivered volley of heels and hard
ware, straight out from the shoulder.
The recoil was fearful. We saw that
our seat was going to be contested,
and we began to make motion to
dismount, but the beast had got under
way by this time, so we breathed a
silent hymn and tIghtened our grip.
He now went off into a spasm of tall,
stiff-legged bucks. He pitched us so
high tat every time we started down
we would meet him coming up on
another trip. Finally, he gave us
one grand, farewell boost, and we
Glove the armament and split up
through the hushed ethereal until our
toes ached from the lowness of the
temperature, and we could distinctl y
hear the music of the spheres. Then
we came down and fell, ia little
heap, about 100 yards from the start
ing point. A kind Samaritan gather
ed up our remains in cigar box and
carried us to the hospital. AS they
looked pityingly at us, thea attendant
surgeons naarveled as to the nature of
our mishap. One. said it was a cy-
clone, another that it was a railroad d
smash-up; but we thought of the
calicohided pony that was grazing
peacefully in the dewy mead and
held our peace.

Indian Courtship.
San Francisco Call.

In many social matters the AIneri-
can Indian had a system of etiquette
as formal and severe as the aristocratic
residents of Murray Hill or Beacon
street. 1t was singular and, in some
respects, a contradictory feature of
the life of the aborignes that, with all
their liberty and freedom to roam the
vast wilderness of a boundless country,
they voluntarily adopted many do
mestlc regulations more rigid than
any In vogue among the Puritans who
landed on Plymouth Rock. Austerity
is not usually ascribed as one of the
traits of the American Indian, and yet
In that most interesting period of life,
when young people court and marry,
they enforced the severest and
most stoical restraints. The knotted
lash which the monk frequently had
laid upon his bare back and limbs to
give his thoughts more heavenly
bent, was no greater indulgence in
asceticism than the forced suppression
of young girls feelings which the
Indians required. In matters relat-
ing to courtships and marriage the
higher tribes of the aborigines We're
Slngularly severe and formal. The
narration by Sarah Winnemucca of
how Indian maidens were wooed and
won IN the PIute nation shows the
strictness Of that people in regard to
the mingling of the sexes. The old
chiefs daughter gave the following
account of a Piute courtship to Call
reporter few days ago:
Il /, L
and her family desire to indicate to
the tribe that their daughter has
reached the marriageable period. she
makes her debut, as you say in Eng
lish, but the Piute girl comes out In
an entirely differtnt way than that
adopted by her white sister. Just
before shs reaches womanhood her
grandmother has especial charge of
her. To that old lady, whose years
are supposed to have brought wisdom,
the girl is given. She schools her in
domestic duties and explains to her
the nature and importance of the
witely relation The girl then goes
with two other female relatives to a
tepee, which is a small wigwan,
where she remains with them twenty
five days. During this time she per
forms work which is supposed to
be strengthening. 1t consists chief
ly of piling wood. Three times a
day, at morning, noon and night, she
stacks five piles of wood. making
fifteen each day. Every five days her
relations take her to the river to bathe,
and at the end of the time she gives
her clothing to her attendants and
returns to the family lodge. Very
frequently the wardrobe which she
presents her female attendants is quite
extensive, and is regarded by them as
valuable present. When the young
girl has spent twenty-five days In the
teepee, she has made her debut into
the society of her tribe, and that is
considered as public announcement
that she is ready TO marry.
"Of course, a pretty, shapely girl is
in great demand, just as belle is in

to him, he seizes her wrist with his
right hand and takes the basket with
his left. That is the marriage cere-
mony. The girls father then pro-
nounces them man and wife, and
they go to lodge, where they live to-
gether.
SIT May seem to white people that
the Plute system of courtship is rude
and foolish; but it has a great many
pleasant features, and does not lack
the excitement, although it is unex-
pressed, which attends that period of a
girls life,"

The latest English fancy is a jap
anese village, which has been set up
in London, all the materials being
brought from Japan. It is built by
japanese carpenters, and every art
and industry of Japan is represented
by skilled artists and worknlen, and
their manner of carrying out their
different handicrafts is shown. There
are lectures on Japan, her people and
her history; a Japanese garden, a
school, and a theatre with japanese
actors. The onlv European thing
about it all is military band com
posed of Highlanders- The entire
village is under glass and artiGcially
