How South American Indians Lay In q
Supply of Venison.

Supply of Venison.
The manner in which the South
American Indians hunt deer in the
Cordlleras is very interesting and some
what ingenious They first ascertain
the locality in which the animals con
gregate to Craze, and then the men,
women, and old children of the triba
make extensive preparations to hem in
the herd. In order to cause stampede
they blow horns, yell, and make other
bewidering and outlandish noises. As
a natural consequence the frightened
deer quit uNir grazing places. They
form in Lire tH regular marching order,
the elder malls leading the way, fol-
lowed by the females and young; the
rear of the column is brought up by the
young bucks, who act as protectors to
the centers.
The Indians now close in upon them.
seeing which the animals prepare to do
battle for their lives The hunters then
proceed to prepare the instruments of
destruction, consisting of large lances,
resin us torches, and nooses fixed to
long poles.
The worst enemy of the deer is the
ia uar and wild cat and their animosity
to them is such that they have been
known to leap over hunter in order
to attack either of these feline foes.
The Indians, knowing this, employ it to
great advantage during these hunts.
The women stuff number of these
jaguar and cat skins, which are placed
tI,a cd f
precipices, in full view of the deer ln-
mediately the bucks make a violent
effort to get at them, in order to hurl
them into the abyss beneath, but are
thus treated themselves by the willy
hunters, who push them over the cliffs.
where they are quickly hamstrung OF
otherwise disabled by the women, who
are stationed below. After the first on
slaught on the stuffed figures, the re-
naming deer seem to recognize the fact
that they have been tricked, and huddle
together, awaiting another attack.
The Indians then throw lighted torches
among them and panic ensues. They
make desperate efforts to escape, but
the relentless hunters drive them over
the crags until they see that sufficient
number have been aptured-usually
four or five hundred. They do not
usually harm the females and fawns,
and also allow few bucks to escape.
Very seldom is a doe killed, and if a
doe fawn is captured, it is Immediately
liberated. The flesh is eaten by the
Indians, and also carried to the villages
to be sold. while the skins are either
purchased by dealers, or made up into
various articles by those who assisted
in their capture.

Jacob, the Patriarch, Had the Grip, Too.
The 200 people of McKeesport who
are complaining through their noses of
the attack upon them by the grip may
be consoled to know that 1000 years ago
the Jews suffered the same thing and
had much bigger noses to be assailed.
1t was known then. according to one
learned in the Talmud, as the "sneezing
visitor" and had threatened even the
sacred nose of the patriarch Jacob. This
same Talmud, anticipating Koch, at
tributed all diseases, and grip among
them, of course, to mazkim, the term
for baclli, which fly on the wings of the
wind and are inhaled or otherwise re-
ceived into the body, where they breed
ailments. Only four classes of them
were considered dangerous, of which
the zolooim, which cluses consumption,
was one. One of the Talmudic rules
was to keep the air clean, and hence the
numerous regulations against uncleanli-
ness. The air for four cubics around a
corpse was said to be unclean and per-
Son going within that limit had to pur-
ify himself, even though he did not
touch the dead body. And as there is
nothing new under the sun the lymph
used to destroy bacilli of consumption
1000 years ago is described. What the
cure of the grip was is not stated

SOUND WORDS TO GIRLS.
Mrs DIR. Jacoby Shows When Exercise
Is and Is Not Helpful.

y.
Is and Is Not Helpful
1t is to be remembered that healthy
Young girls should not differ greatly
from boys in regard to agility, but only
in regard to endurance, and such mus
cular strength as involves boxing, wres-
Ting, or the lifting and carrying of
weights.
A girl should be able to move her own
body swiftly and deftly; but her inferior
muscular force makes it always anad-
visable and often injurious to impose
upon her tasks which involve moving
other bodies if these have any weight
In accordance with this simple rule,
girls should be encouraged to walk, run,
climb, swim, ride, skate, shoot with the
bow and arrow. A woman expert at
firearms is an anomaly, unless she be
compelled to live in lonely places and
requires the knowledge for her protec-
ton.
Rowing is a most excellent exercise if
the boat be not too heavy.
The exercise of jumping does not seem
advisable, whether that of excessive
rope jumping or high leaps at gymna-
SUM. The restriction was not always
observed, for Euripides makes Spartan
youth eulogze the girl he admired pre-
cisely for her skill at leaping. The dam
gers from this exercise have been exag-
gerated, yet there is an occasional risk
of displacing internal organs by sudden
leap upon the feet.
The value of the forms of muscular
exercise which have been enumerated
have Leen exaggerated in the preserva-
ton of health. For girls who are sickly
and whose bones and muscles have never
been adequately developed the system
attic exercise of each limb, as is obtain
able in gymnasium, is requisite.
All exercise must be graduated ac-
cording to the previous habits of the
girl
1t is very injurious to start off sud
denly in summer vacations and take
walks of 10 and Is miles, when previous
custom had not exceeded mile day.
Women entirely unable to walk at all
from hysterical paralysis may be re.
educated to do so by being encouraged
to take two steps on one day, four steps
the next day, and so on. This principle
of gradual increase is, of course, still
more easily apl lied to we'll persons.
1t is never we'll and sometimes dam
gerous to prolong any form of exercise
too much. This is especially true of
skating. Few girls can skate even an
hour, because in this climate the ice
does not usually last long enough to
allow of the gradual increase to period
of two hours.
1t should be unnecessary to add that
no exercises can be considered salts
factorily which are performed in tight
clothing or corsets. If no girl wore cor
sets under the age of % the chest would
have chance to acquire its full devel-
opment, the habit of proper breathing
would be established, and proper fitting
corsets could be worn with impunity.-
