Calling the Bull Moose.

The time to call the bull moose is
from the middle of September to the
middle of October and sometimes later
1t is the habit of the female at that
time of the year to seek open spaces
on the hills at sundown and give voice
to mellow but far-sounding cry.
This is the signal to the male and the
call is not often repeated before some
shamblng bull is heard crashing
through the brush, his long split hoofs
rattling at every step on his way to the
rendezvous. This peculiar cry the
hunters have learned to initiate with
greater or less degrees of exactness,
and made it an agent for Turing their
game into ambush The call is made
by means of horn rolled out of birch
bark, to mouth which perfectly re-
quires long and constant practice.
The hunter, when an adept at sound
ing the moose love song, simply hides
himself at a favorable spot in the will
derness, with his gun in readiness and
blows the horn. As he hears the bull
approaching, generally pausing in the
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and get his bearings, the caller needs
all his nerve and an unfailing lip.
The call must be tempered to the ap-
proach of the bull, and one false note
is never lost on that wary lovers true
and cultivated ear No cow moose
ever slurred note or sung too fiat or
too sharp floating her amatory invita-
ton to her mate on the crisp air of an
autumn evening, and the slightest var
iation either way in the sound will
send the expectant brute flying like
the wind away from the treacherous
trysting-place e-disappointed, perhaps,
but not as much SO as the hunter
whose false lip lost him his coveted
prize.
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional instances being
on light moonlight nights. Conse-
quently hunters seldom try to lure
bull by calling after night has come
on. If a bull can be induced to an
swer a moonlight call, however, the
excitement of the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncanny in tie sound of the start
ling call echoing among the hills, their
tops flooded in light and their sides
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering below of
the bull as it comes out from the very
depths of the shadow. As the huge
animal approaches from the wilder
ness and finally emerges into the
moonlit open, the nerves even of the
most experienced hunter are strung at
the severest tension, while to the no.
vice the suspense is simply agony

THE FooD QUESTION. The subject of
food has never yet received a common
sense consideration. There is no doubt
but vast amount of wholesome food
products are yet overlooked. During
the grasshopper invasion it was proved
by Professor Riley and some of our nor
NAL school teachers that such creatures
may serve as ali excellent article Of food,
yet the people preferred semi starvation
to even tasting them. Snails are lnx
uTies in France 1t was long before
frogs found q market in this country.
MIR. Wallace tells us eggs are never eaten
by Pacific Islanders. Strawberries are
rejected by some Of the tropical races.
Esqulmaux reject all vegetable food.
The people of New Guinea pronounce
bread detestable affair. Milk is used
very little in some OF our southern states.
as it is seldom tasted by tribes in Africa
that keep large herds. One tribo in
New Guinea abhors sugar, but devours
SALT Snakes ere all article of diet quite
largely in Asia.-Globe Democrat.

she should marry Eben though the
whole world should rise up to oppose it.
1t was the Daily Reflector building
which put her in mind of Eben's joke
about the newspaper business.
The affiuent publisher of it stood on
the steps, talking to a gentleman. He
was an old friend of Miss Stone, and
he hurried down to speak to her.
''In for some shopping?' he said.
''By the way, we were just speaking
of YOU. Mr.. Russell tells me he has
met you. Mr.. Russell, here's Miss
Stone"
Mr.. Russell came down the steps,
with his hat raised. He was immacu-
lately arrayed in a pale summer suit,
knotty, silver-mounted stick, high
hat and polished shoes.
He was in no wise different from the
dozens of young men passing at the
moment, but Miss Stone stared at him
in speechlesS, motionless bewilder-
ment, and Mr.. Russell stared back at
her.
1t was not till the publisher had
bowed himself away that they spoke.
"Eben" Miss Stone gasped.
-''Gertrude!'' Mr.. Russell rejoined.
He had recovered himself, and was
smiling down at her.
Il didn't know you were coming to-
day.
"Who-who are you?" Miss Stone
murmured family.
"Well, I'm the young person you're
going to marry, for one thing" the
young man responded emphatically;
and led her into neighboring restau-
rant before saying anything more.
Il couldn't help it!' he declared
breathlessly over their untouched
cream. 81 couldn't think of any other
way, and l was awfully gone on you
from the first minute. 1t was in the
porch that first afternoon. l heard
what you said. you know-all about
frivolous, flippant-mnded city men;
and l didn't dare to appear in my r-o-
per character didn't, truly"
His voice shook with something be-
sides feeling, and he put his hanGker-
chief to his lips.
Miss Stone smiled too, helplessly.
And you-hayen't been doing
farm-work?" she said
''Good gracious! l don't know a
plough from a reaper, b ,b responded.

she said.

"See here, dear-am l frivolous and

Miss Stone looked at him with a
helpless fondress.

Matter of Boards and Niustaches.

A downtown barber, who is now
shaving the faces and curling the hair
of second generation of New York
merchants, had this to say about
boards this morning.
"But small proportion of men now
have smooth faces. Mustaches and
boards are so common that five sup
positions are made in the case of a
man who wears no beard-namely that
he cannot raise one, that he is a clergy
man, that lie is an actor, that he is a
relic of dead and gone generation, OR
that he is an eccentric.
$50 Imperative is fashion now that
one must give reasons for appearing
with smooth shaven face, whereas a
generation ago one had to give a
reason for wearing a mustache. Those
were the days when mustaches were
scarcely worn except by foreigners
and military officers, and even then
| by them but rarely. For an American
in civil life a mustache was complete
disguise.
Il remember the case of a young
man who entered the ministry and
took church in thriving town. He
had been, prior to his call to theologic-
al pursuits, extremely fond of the
drama, and the old Bowry Theatre was
his favorite haunt. One time when in
town he so far yielded to temptation as
to put on false mustache and go to
the theatre, where he spent an even
ing in entire delight.
"As he was coming out however, he
met some old friends who recognized
him and saluted him by name.
Pardon, shentlemen,' said he with
profound bow, vat you say? / no
spick goot 1ngliss very we'll His
friends apologized and passed on.
They might have known. of course,
that only a foreigner would wear a
beard on his uppeA lip, and the mus
tached clergyman escaped. '-Nea0

easily solved the next day after the cap

Another hawk and two other birds also

want for food. Since his arrival he has
eaten raw meat.
The eagle is apparently young one
and not remarkably cross, although he
does not invite handling. He has not
been weighed, but would probably tip
the scales at from six to ten pounds, and
would measure between five and six feet
from tip to tip. The color is dark gray
on the back, the feathers having white
tips and white below. Mate Govier says he
will take the bird across the Atlantic and
make present of him to some geological
garden on the other side. II any one is
