A Few of Those Great Animals Still Ex.
list in British Columbia.
There still remain some Of the wood buf-
falo. This is m animal larger than the
American bison of the plains They are
larger, coarser haired and s%traighter horned.
l mention this popularity of difference in the
horns because it is believed that the shape
and the broken and crooked nature of the
horns of the prairie buffalo has been caused
by his habit Of digging into tho gravel,
whereas i'll the more northern species thew
had to contend with other conditions where
straight horns would be Of more use, as, for
instance, they use them there for clearing
aside from their pathway tho brush and lux
uriant underground.
These animals would weigh at least $50
pounds more than the buffalo of the Saskat-
chewan plains. In the northern regions the
vetches and grasses arc SO high and the snow
fall not being unduly heavy, they have not
had to paw and break the crusted snow, rs
was the habit of the buffalo, aud that may
account for their superior size. In the
country where these are found horses cannot
be used in pursuit and they are stalked in the
same manner that the moose and the other
large animals are. Il is difficult to form an
accurate estimate of tho number Of these
animals that may yet be left. But perhaps
investigation yet may show that five or Six

hundred may yet remain in scattered bands
Owing to tho fact that the horse cannot be
used in pursuit, 1t is more difficult Tor tho
Indians to hunt them, and indeed to find
them, than it was in tho old days of hunting
upon tho plains.
So rank is tho underground Of this rich
country and SO difficult Is It for the Indians
to get at these animals that, perhaps, lust
now any attempt on the part of the govern
ment to afford protection to them would BIO
useless. If, however, some regulation which
would prevent white sportsmon from deliber-
atcly coming into tho country to hunt these
animals for mere pleasure it might result to
advantage. AT present it would be vexatious
to the Indians and of no great use, as tho
animal has become in its habits so much like
the moose that he is able in q great measure
to protect himself.-Montreal Gazette.

A Music reac,,er,s Education.

lheard, the other evening at a musicale, Il
naive remark about one Of the perform
ances, which seemed so Characteristic of Bos-
ton it deserves to be repeated. y young
woman, whose musical education has been
somewhat limited, but of u%nbounded belief
in her own capability, was discussing Il very
brilliant artist who had just been playing a
group of Chopin's familiar masterpieces.
"Oh, yes, he plays we'll enough" she said in
answer to an enthusiastic comment, 'but |
don't care to have lessons from him. 1t
wouldn't pay" "And why nota" asked uu
%astonished listener. "There is only one
other man here who is such q master of hi:
art" Eyes, l know" was the reply, "Eut
you see, as l want to teach, l shall take a few
lessons of Mi. Long, and that will get me us
many pupils as l shall need!'-Boston Herald.

Tho Pipe to Smoke.

~ don't know as ought to tell you about
It," said 4 we'll known Park row iealer. .but
it is a fact that Tho soft whice clay pipo.
which costs only 4 penny. IS The healthiest
and clcanest If all pipes now n Use, Of
course the meerschaum Is very good when
1t is new, but it becomes unhealthy Ii,
older 1t gets. consequently it is not i, to
smoke after it has been used six months. If
you have my regard DOR your mouths. An
pipes absorb. more or less, tho nicotine, which
Is q poisonous juice, and when the pipe be-
comes full it unexpectedly finds it's way to
the mouth and stomach. I am acquainted
with several persons who. having used the
same pipe for a number of years, have finally
become seriously poisoned.
1.-THE clay pipes will soak up twice as much
nicotine as tho m%eerschaum, consequently.
they should not be used more than a dozen
times, especially when the tobacco is Of n
greenish color or at all damp. Now, in re-
gard to wooden pipes, they ought never to
be smoked moro than two months, and in
many cases not more than one month. Int
this is according to tho strength If tho
tobacco people use in them. After the white
clay pipe comes the meerschaum; then, third,
comes the hard earthen pipe; fourth, comes
the wooden pipe, then the porcelain pipe, and
last, and the worst, tho metallic pipe,"2New

a We'll Meant Warming.

A lady with her daughter was travelling
from Cincinatti to New Orleans. She had
through tho day occupied n scat in the ordi-
my day car, but finding as evening APP
preached that it was becoming unpleasantly
crowded and warm, was DESTROYS of moving
into more comfortable quarters; and when
the cars stopped at a small station for supper,
went out on the rear platform of her car,
intending to pass into the next one, upon
the end of which WAS painted in large letters:
'Man Bouloir. La Zingara;' but tho door
was locked, and the officials within were
eating their suppcrs with elaboration.
Whilo waiting, and wondering with her
daughter how long the Southern railroad
Twenty minutes" really would extend, she
was accostcd by n respectable looking Ger
man, presumably a recent importation from
tho "Natcrland' vino just then emerged from
the day car, with the warning words, while
he pointed to the inscription on tho boudoir
car:
"Dat is not for ladies. Seei Man car.
La cigar"
They appreciated the kind intention and
expressed their tllankfulness, but, ncvertllo-
less, as soon as tho conductor appeared with
the keys, followed him through the doors of
"La Zingara," leaving the German to Won
der what kind of respectable ladies they We're
who deliberately chose to travel in a "Man
car. La Cigar."-American Magazine.

SUGAR from Coal Tar,

Tho wonderful coal tar sugar story, which
has been published i'll nearly every newspaper
within year, is again revived, aud from re-
cent article in The German Sugar Manufac-
turers' Journal it appears that Il factory for
the production of that wonderful product
Known as saccharine is now completed, and
will be fully equipped for work i'll IL few
weeks. 1t is located in Westcrhausen, near
the old historic city of Magdeburg.
This coal tar sugar., having n sweetenipg
power 500 times greater than cano sugar, it
is said, will be used for mixing with glucose,
and it is presumed will, in a large measure,
displace the product of the cane for the same
purpose. The journal from which we gather
the above facts also states that one pound If
the new saccharine mixed with 500 parts Of
glucose gives a compound as good as tho best
sugar used on tho continent, while it can be
supplied at a much lower pr~ice.-Scieptilc

AN oRNAMENTED RAILROAD.

A Chicago Newspaper Makes a Good sug-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in England.
Railroad companies are at great expense
in building beautiful cars and passenger
stations, but they give no attention to beau
tifying station grounds and the long stretches
along the sides of tracks. The view from
the finest palace car window is not very
charming unless it is a distant view. A
railroad ditch or bank is seldom a thing of
beauty. All the barriers against snow are
exceedingly unsightly. Rank and coarse
vegetation generally grows along the sides
of tracks till it is killed by the drought or
frost, when it is consumed by sparks from
the locomotive. The beauty of the passenger
cars shows bythe contrast with the surround
ings, which are types of deformity.
An ornamental railroad would do some
thing more than attract attention. 1t would
attract patronage. A large proportion of
the persons who travel by rail during the
pleasant months of the year are pleasure
seekers. They are making long journeys to
find pretty places. They would like to see
pretty places all along the route. They
would sooner ride through flower garden
than a desert. Beautiful hedges, that would
be cheap and lasting, could be formed Of
arbor vitae, Norway spruce, Scotch larch,
hawthorn, crab apple and Judas trees.

PUT AWAY FooL1sH rH1Ncs

1t is, perhaps, impossible to imagine any
one Of natures pointers that Is more unwill-
ingly received than this. Unwillinply re-
ceived because 1t means that the time has
come when you must put away foolish things,
quit the frivolities-not the pleasures, neces.
sarily-of youth; give up the assumption Of
juveniity and settle down to the serious
things of middle age. Fortunately middle
ago has its pleasant as well as its serious
things. In fact, it is a question whether that
soberer time when the leaves are beginning
to turn; when the noon heat is over: when
tho passions are subdued and when the quiet
twilight is coming on Is not after all the best
portion Of a man. life and of q woman's. too.
Especially is it likely to DO so if we nav
proper attention to natures pointers and be
careful without coddling ourselves.
The schedule Of these pointers is by no
means exhausted, however. The tailor has
one or two of them in store for us. When.
for instance, he tells us that we are adding to
our girth below the waistband and not above
it; that the legs of our trousers are growing
shorter n that the flap of our vests
had better DO made a little longer to
look well-these arc q few pointers
that are full of meaning. Then there
is the fact that we can't stand getting our
feet wet as we used to; that we have to be
careful when coming out of a warm room
into tho cold air; that we want our meals
at regular hours; that we cannot stay up at
nights without sleeping c~orrespondingly
later in the morning; that the birds do not
sing quite as bonnily Us in lang syne; that
we begin to think of slippers and dressing
gowns as the pleasures Of an evening, that
our feet grow cold if we sit too long; that
wa INV n Thicker Quality ~ socko. that o,,r
daughters head is beginning to reach our
watch pocket; that there are little creases
settling into the corners of our eyes;
that the lines from the base of the
nose to the angles of the mouth are
growing heavier; that We do not
look as fresh in the morning as formerly
these are a few of the tips which Mother Ma
turo gives us to remind us that her gentle
but irresistible laws are in operation and
that the machine we call ourselves is surely
running down.-San Francisco Chronicle.
