Drumming Of the Rufaed Grouse,

A few years ago while looking
after a miners ditch in the solitude
of the mountain forests on the Up
per Clear Water river, / happened
to get hold of a work on natural
history; and as the ruffled grouse
were very plentiful, their habits, as
set forth by the author, attracted
attention.
1t was in the spring of the year,
and they were drumming continu-
ally on all sides of me. l could
not believe the vibration that set
the still air in tremble about my
ears was made by the tapping of
the wings upon logs, or upon any
thing more solid than drum head.
My curiosity was aroused, and as
the opportunity was at hand | de-
termined to settle the question as
to how the drumming was done.
Every day an old cock CLICKED. at
me as he jumped from an old log
and started behind the thick little
frs, with his ruff1ed neck nodding
as he stepped proudly away. That
log was his drumming place, and [
soon found the exact section he oc-
cupied. No longer would | let that
bird puzzle me. | selected a place
with perfect cover as blind, and
with my AK trimmed out the brush
SO that [ could have an unobstruc-
ted view of his resort. The next
morning, armed with a Berdan rifle
telescope, was in my blind, with
my glass arranged on rests, when
the shy bird came noiselessly to his
sacred bower to sing his matin song.
He stood still and upright for a
long time, as if intently listening,
He pulled up his neck as large as
his body, he raised the black tuft of
feathers on his neck, showing a
wind bag light as a drum head ;
then he thumped the sac as if to
test the tension of the drum, and
then: neutrality-suspicious.
thump, thump, faster and faster,
till his wings were blue blur to
look upon, and the sound was a
rumble like the hum of bee on a
large scale. In the interim he
would smooth his feathers and lis
ten for an answer from some charm
ed female, or the challenge of the
enemy. I watched him until l was
positive as to how the noise was
made. It is made by beating on the
inflated neck of the bird, by the
butts Of the wings, as a boy would
beat upon drum; both ends at
once. | then killed the bird, ex-
amined the wind bag, and blew it
up like bladder.
My glass was 90 inches long, and
so powerful that / could see a As
caliber bullet hole in white paper at
distance of 1900 yards. You can
form an idea how distinctly I could
see every motion of the grouse. /
could see him wink. Every mem
Der of the grouse family makes his
call or boot or whatever it is, by in
tlating the neck. The ruffled grouse
IS no exception.

Strange Articles of Food.

In Mexico parrots are eaten, but
they are rather tough.
Spiders roasted are a sort Of des-
sert with the New Caledonians.
In the Pacific Islands and West
Indies and lizard eggs are eaten
with gusto.
auckland declares the taste of the
boa constructor to be good, and
much like veal.
After they have wound the silk
from the cocoon the Chinese eat the
chrysalis of the silkworm.
The French will eat frogs, snails
and the diseased liver of geese, but
draw the line at alligators.
The octopus, or devil fish, when
boiled and then roasted, is eaten in
Corsica and pronounced luxury.
The Guachos of the Argentine
Republic are in the habit of hunt
ing skunks for the sake of their
flesh.
The Cingalese eat the bees after
robbing them of their honey. Cat
erpillars and spiders are dainties to
the African bushman.
The negroes Of the West Indies
eat baked snakes and the palm
worms fried in fat, but they cannot
be induced to eat stewed rabbits.
The edible birds nests of the
Chinese are worth twice their weight
in silver, the finest variety selling
for as much as $50 pound.
The Digger Indians of the Pacific
Coast rejoiced in the great locust
swarns of 1875, as dispensation
Of the great spirit, and laid in a
store of dried locust powder suffi-
cient to last them for several years.
The North American aborigines
recognize no greater delicacy than
boiled dog, the animal being i'm
mersed in the pot without the for
mality of SHINING or otherwise
cleaning, and regard the intestines
as the choicest part of a buffalo OF
steer.
Quass, the fermented cabbage
water of the Russians, is their pop
ular tipple. 1t is described as re.
sembllng a mixture of stale fish
and soapsuds in taste, yet next to
beer it has more votaries than any
other fermented beverage,
Ants are eaten by various nations
In Brazil they are served with &
reslnous sauce, and in Africa they
are stewed with grease or butter
The East Indians catch them il
pits and carefully wash them IL
handfuls like raisins. In Siam {
curry of ant eggs is costly luxury
