Major Bundy,s Wonderful Perform-

hered by Sherman's Atlanta campaign

Bundy. commanding battery of artil-
lery-now known as Major Bundy, and
one af the editorial writers on Deacon

Kennesaw Mountain, had sampled

some other officers, and reached his
battery in excellent spirits. Soon Col

Hippopotalnas Hunters.

"I have counted as many as twenty
hippopotamus heads in one pool, said
Mr. Lohse to representative of the
New York Ecening San, land the river
is full of them. OF course, it would be
impossible to catch the old ones, but
they have to be got out of the way and
the only way to do is to shoot them.
have shot six in one pool IN an at
ternoon. As soon as the old ones are
killed, the hunters-and they are very
brave ones who go after hippopotami
-harpoon the young through the
neck. The neck is very thick and fat,
and if the harpoon is skiilfully thrown
there is no danger of killing the young
hippopotamus. A float is fastened to
the harpoon by rope, and when the
animal becomes completely exhausted
in its efforts to free itself it is drawn
to the shore by this rope and secured.
1t is put into pen, and kept there and
fed upon goats milk until its wound
is healed, when it is driven to the
seriffa.
s.As said, the hippopotamus hunters
are very courageous, and can swim aud
dive like seals. i lost one of my best
men the last trip ] made on hip
popotamus hunt. Early one morning
we saw a young hippopetamus in the
water near the opposite bank of the
river. Before / could stop him, FL
bibo, the chief of my hunters, was in
the river and swimming rapidly across
to harpoen the animal. He got close
to it, and raised his arm TO throw the
harpoon, when he suddenly gave q
yell and sank ont of sight, A ripple
near where he had heen told as that he
had been dragged under by q croco-
die. We had given him up as lost,
when he reappeared and made his
way to the bank, where he lay
down exhausted. His left arm was
torn off at the shoulder. did what
could for the poor fellow, but he bled
to death that night. He never made a
cry. but asked me quietly just before
he died to see that his two wives did
not suffer from poverty"
Mr.. Lohse has also had exciting
times hunting the rhinoceros. Aswith
the elephants, the young are run down
by horsemen until they are exhausted.
The baby rhinoceros is then lasseed to
a tree until its spirit Ia broken suf-
ticiently to permit of its being driven
to the camp. As in hunting the other
animals, there is a particular class of
trained men who go after the rhinoe-
eros. They must be expert riders, and
fully acquainted with the habits Of the
huge, dangerous beasts they attack.
IAN infuriated rhinoceros, said Mr..
Lohse. lis literally blind with rage.
He puts his head down and runs in q
bee line. knocking down everything
in his way. If there was a stone wall
in front of him he would smash right
up against it. Some of my Homrahn
hunters wounded female rhinoceros
one day, when the brute ran off. The
men were securing her young when
she suddenly stopped and rushed to-
ward them. 1t was such an unheard
of thing for one of the animals to do,
that the hunters were taken complete
ly by surprise. One of them was
caught by her horns and thrown high
in the air. He dropped to the ground
corpse. for the rhinoceros had dis
emboweled him."

Tally one for the Farmer.

In Providence. r. l., the other day,
they were setting some very tall poles
for the telephone foot
ers. A countryman came along and
asked the foreman what his men were
doing. Now, the foreman of that par
ticular gang is mild-mannered citi-
zen and means to be patient and for
bearing, but he is worried good deal
with questions and gets tired of answer
ing them. In this particular case he
told the countryman that he was build

Enterprising Women.

Statistics show that the proportion
of women engaged in agriculture to
those earning money otherwise is one
to thirty; and of those engaged in ag,
riculture about one-f0urth are in Iowa:
Great numbers of women take up Cow

The British Consul at Ningpo calls
the attention of British manufacturers
to spinning machines used in his dis
trict that were imported from Japan,
and which he thinks will eventually be
adopted in eotton-producing countries.
The advantages claimed for them as
compared with the method of spinning
nsed in America are that the staple is
1ess injured, and that the seeds are
better cleaned. This is attained by
drawing the cotton between straight
steel edges of knives, instead of using
saws.
A SOW and pigs at Dublin, Ga, bit

was found to be mad, and had bitten
every hog in the pen. 1t was taken
out of the pen and closely watched to
see what it would do. 1t soon attacked
other hogs, and came near biting a
morse on the leg. 1t would attack
everything in its reach. 1t continued
Its frantic motions about one hour,
when it was killed.
