cause. In consequence of the almost

have simply depended on the wafer

chance of obtaining drink from some
other traveller they might meet on the
way. finally become exhausted, and
having managed TO stagger into the
bed of some dry but shady creek, have
lain down there and persisted, to be
found some day and buried by chance
stockman passing that way, or perhaps
never discovered at all.

Conditions In Prussia.

Russia employs more men to pro
duce less corn than any other coun-
try. When the serfs were emanci-
pated in 1861 portion of land, from
eight to nine acres per head, was al
lotted' throughout Russia to the peas
ants who. occupy themselves with the
cultivation of their own ground.
Since then the condition of Russia
seems to have been growing worse
and worse. The amount of territory
given up to the serfs by the enamel
patton act of 1851 was about one-haIf
of the arabic land of the whole en-
pire, so that the experiment of cutting
up the large properties Of country
and the formation of u landed peas
antry has been tried there for moro
than a quarter of century. No
doubt Alexander | meant well toward
his subjects: but at present Russia

forests writes that he has seen over ST.
o00, 600 worth of lumber burned by the
careless fire of gang of railroad work

somewhere, and the enormous loss can
hardly be estimated. He urges that only
by making such carelessness criminal

should learn is TO preserve the forests we

A Poacher's Cunning Device.

Along the coast of France, where the
land line is formed by long stretches of
sand banks lying between the high cliff
uplands, there used to be found innumer-
able rabbits, who made their burrows in
the dry sand above high water mark.
They ian one hole into another, SO that
the labyrinth of underground passages
frequently extended for several hundred
feet, reItdering it next to impossible to
dislodge the inmates in the usual man
ner by slipping ferret into one of the
holes. For, if this were done, the ferret
would simply drive the rabbits from one
corner of tho network to another, where
they would hide as soon as they evaded
him.
The continental poacher, ever prolific
in devices, knowing that the instinct of
the crab will lead him always to descend
IN search of water, elaborated system
of placing a bolt net at the mouth of
every hole he could locate, no matter how
many there might be. Then, taking n
dozen or SO of good sized crabs, he
fastened about half an inch of composite
wax candle to the center of each shell,
fixing them firmly enough for his pur-
pose by slightly melting the wax at the
bottom, and then pressing it into the

obtained from the inn keepers and lodg-
ing house keepers in the adjacent coast
town. lie then lighted the candles and
turned one crab into each of the main
runs.
The crab, just taken from a damp
place, Immediately sought the lowest
ground in the burrow, carrying his light
with him, where light had never pene-
trated before. The rabbits, frightened
almost to death, rushed madly through
the runs to the mouths of the holes,
sprang out into the bolt nets and hope
1essly tanGling themselves in the meshes,
lay painting until the poacher came and
put Them out of their misery. More than
100 rabbits have been taken from single
burrow at one haul, and the practice
proved so destructive to the rabbits. that

The Propagation of Yuccas.

An exchange gives the following meth
DDS of propagating these useful decora-
tive plants: "Most of the herbaceous
species yield seed, which, if sown as soon
as ripe in slight heat, will make good
plants, but the variegated forms of Yucca
f1lamentosa and Y aloifolia must be pro-
pagated by cuttings. An English meth
cd is to take fleshy roots from outside
plants in the fall, put them in boxes of
sandy soil and give them some protec-
tion, when they will in the spring start
into growth. When the plants are in
pots the dormant eyes usually come out
to the sides of the pots, from which they
can be readily removed by using knife,
after which they should be potted. When
transplanting is done many dormant
eyes can be taken off and started as well
as some of the roots. When Yucca aloi-
folia inclines to run up with naked stem
