The hunters who formerly went from

find some other means of diversion
The hisons can no longer be found iu

recently returned from the West, writes
There are, to nv positive kno wledge.
not more than 700 bison or buffalo left
on the American continent. About lS0
are in Yellowstone National PARK, Wy.
oming, and the remainder In the Pan
handle of Texas. These are all that are
left by the hide hunters. Since my re
turn home have heard that twenty head
of bison were killed IN Yellowstone
Park by party of English tourists II
this is true, The slaughterers should be
severely punished. The government
should certainly do everything to pro.
tect The few survivors.
The elk is also being exterminsted -
Where there we're hundreds only few
years ago, there Is now not one. The
opening of railroads into the elk and
back. tailed deer countries has enabled
he hide hunters to become rich. Cattle
ranches are sprineing up everywhere,
AMI the wild game is rapidly being div

popularity Of both the elk and black
tailed deer to iorsake any district, nc
matter how wild it may be, where thsy
have discovered the presence of cattle.

Breeding the Bull-Head.

The Bull-head is fish not to be
despised. 1t is u native Of many of
our rivers, lakes and ponds, and
is very prolific, one pair breeding
about one thousand fry. 1t is an
excellent fish for the people, for the
reason that it is very plentiful, and
easy to catch. They are caught
principally in roily or muddy water,
for the reason that they depend upon
their nose to discover their food; they
follow the scent, the same rs dog.
Their method is as follows: after
they mate, they dig hole in the
side Of a bank, and sometimes on the
bottom, and then eXcavate sort of
cave, about two feet across, and
seven or eight inches deep. After
the spawn is deposited, the water
IS famed with the tail and fins.
and the dirt kept away from it.
The eggs hatch in about five
days, late in June or early in
July. When the fry are Matched,
they lie around few days, until
they gain strength to follow their
mother. The parent fish then cares
for them, and teaches them to feed
just as hen does her chicks, until
the little fish are about four weeks
old. BY that time they have learned
to feed, and are able to take care of
themselves. The bull-head does not
thrive well in small ponds, except
they are well fed and caught out.
They are such prolific breeders that
the pond rapidly fills with them,
and they cannot get enough to eat.
They are unlike many other fish,
and do not live on their young, con
sequently they starve where other
fish would thrive on the principle of
the Survival of the fittest." SETH

In the griefs and dark hours of
life, the influence is felt, for life has
such hours Whoever saw a piece
of tissue that had not some dark
threads Out Of what unexpected
material they are wrought Our
best and noblest deeds, our divinest
thoughts and actions, our best and
purest affections, our beautiful and
lovely traits-out of these shall come
threads of darkness and webs of
shadows to be woven into the wool
of life's influence!
The influence of love and christi
anity makes obedience lighter than
liberty. If we wear influence rs a
garland, wreathed and twined with
goodness, thoughtfulness and
patience, how great will be its power.
The Graces are never so lovely as
when seen waiting on the Virtues
and when they thus dwell together
they create a heavenly atmosphere.
Let us endeavor to impress good
influences, not evil ones, on all with
whom we come in contact. Life is

not be able to influence in the great

FORTY HOURS ON FLOATING ICE.
Dangerous Trip Of Seal Fishermen in the
Gulf OF st. Lawrence.
MONTREAL, Feb. 3

MONTREAL, Feb. 5.
In the tempest which prevailed few days
ago, all over the gulf of St. Lawrence, four
hunters OF GodbOut had miraculous escape
from death, having drifted for some ninety
miles during forty hours on piece of float
ing ice. NapoleaD Corneau, his brother and
two of his brothers-in-lav went out from God
bout river in two canoes to hunt seals and
ducks. Two of the men were engaged in
killing seal on block of ice when the ami
NAL turned upon them. Napolean Corneau,
who is a telegraph operator at Godbout, and
one Of the best shots and most noted hunters
in the country, went to their assistance with
his brother.
After killing the seal they were drifted so
far out into the gulf that they were unable to
return. A merciless storm ragged around
them, and soon they were thirty miles from
either shore. Three OF the men became bad
ly frozen and would have perished but for
Napolean Corneau. They had nothing to eat
but two frozen ducks, and had frequently to
take to their canoes az the ice broke away
beneath them. After drifting for ninety
miles through forty hours they managed to
land upon the south shore Of the guilt near
St. ADnes des Monies. Then they were
driven to Metis, distance of IS miles, it be-
ing impossible for them at this season of the
year to cross the gnlf. From Metis they
reached Quebec BY rail.
