The Wood Buffalo.

There still remain some of the wood
buffalo. This is an animal larger than
the American bison of the plains They
are larger, coarser-haired and stronger
horned. mention this popularity of
difference in the horns because il is be-
lieved that the shape aud the broken
and the crooked nature OF the horns Of
the prairie buffalo has been caused by
the habit of digging into the gravel,
whereas in the more northern species
they had to contend with other con-
ditions, where straight horns would be
of more use, for instance, they use them
there for clearing aside from their path
way the brush and luxuriant under
growth. These animals would weigh
at least $50 pounds more than the buffalo
of the Saskatchewan plains.
In tho northern regions the vetches
and grasses are so high, and the snow
falls not being unduly heavy, they have
not had to paw and break the crusted
snow, as was the habit OF the buffalo,
and that may account for their superior
size. In the country where these are
found horses can not be used in pursuit.
and they are stalked in the same manner
that the moose and the other large
animals are 1t is difficult TO form an
accurate estimate Of the number Of
these animals that may yet be left, but
perhaps investigation may show that 500
or 600 may yet remain in scattered
bands. Owing 20 the fact that the horse
can not be used in pursuit, It is more
difficult for the Indians to hunt them,
and, indeed, to find them, than it was
in the old days Of hunting upon the
plains.
SO rank is the underground OF this
rich country, aud SO difficult is IL for
the Indians to get at these animals,
that perhaps Just now any attempt on
the part Of the Government to afford
protection to them would be useless. If,
however, some regulation would prevent
white sportsmen from deliberately com
ing into the country TO hunt these ami.
mails for mere pleasure it might result to
advantage. At pre- ent it would be
vexatious TO the Indians, and Of no great
use, as the animal has become in its
habits 50 much like the moose that he
is liable in great measure to protect
himself.

Have seat, Miss Mckay, - the editor
said, as he drew forward the most com
Portable chair of which his sanctum
could boast; and the young lady settled
down 10 listen TO tho untangling of mis-
haps that Herman Seville had brought
upon himself, through his own careless
ness, and in spite of all efforts TO retain
herself, Millie McKay's amusement at
his misfortunes found vent in low,
musical laugh, at which, notwithstand-
ing 1t was at his expense, the editor
took no offense.
That explanation, however, did not
make il appear that Ethel Vinton was
anything more than a good friend, nor
that the tender. little note which had so
awkwardly fallen into Millie McKay's
hands was aught but sheer nonsense.
May that editor be forgiven for his
untruthfulness, for he seemed to be
verifying Mehitable Smiths assertion
regarding the falsity OF mankind.
That IL was exceedingly gratifying to
Millie Mckay TO learn that her sketch
had been accepted may be believed, and
also that she was desired TO become a
regular contributor to the Weekly Jour
ndt; for she was dependent upon her
own exertions, and from her indifferent
success in the past she had about d c.
cided to relinquish authorship.
When the young authoress left Her
man Sevile's Office il was with a lighter
heart than when she entered it. The
note, that she had felt as insulting, had
not been designed for her; indeed. it
had meant nothing at all, or so that
handsome editor had made her believe,
and she went back to the small, third
story room, that was kitchen, parlor.
sleeping-room all in one, and commenced
another story forthwith,
And when she had gone Herman
Seville leaned back into his chair and fell
into reverie, the burden OF which was,
that he did not much care il Ethel Vim
ton was offended, or Mehitable Smith,
either, and because certain article was
not available, he was sure he was not to
blame; twas man ever known TO be since
Adams dayO and Of one thing he was
certain he had secured fine writer for
the paper
She was a very agreeable girl, too ;
she would be n pleasant acquaintance,
and so she proved, in time, more than
acquaintance, or even friend, for Millie
Mckay finally the became the editors
wife and was not obliged TO write
sketches for living.
And thus the mishaps that were caused
by Mehitable Smiths unavailable poem,
resulted, also, in bringing TO Herman
Seville true love and happiness - Yankee
BLade.

Why a Baseball Curres.

Lovers Of baseball may find 1t con
venient to keep in mind this explanation
OF the pitchers curve from Mr. II. A..
Proctor: If the ball is advancing with
out spin, or is spinning on an axis lying
along its course, the cushion Of com
pressed air carried forward by Il is conf
cai-Or rather cOnoidal-and therefore
re5ists the progress ofthe ball equally on
oil sides, affecting only the velocity. But
In the case Of the curve, whore the ball
is spinning on an axis square 10 its
course, the air in front Of the advancing
side Of the spinning surface cannot e.
cape so readily as il there were no spin
and escapes moro readily on the other
side. Hence the resisting cushion Of air
is thrown toward that side Of tho ball
where the spin is forward and removed
from the other side, and the ball Is de-
fected from the region Of greatest re-
sistance.
