DEER HUNTING IN THE ANDES.

6Outh American Indians Seize Any Adj
vantage Over Them They Can.
The manner in which the South Amer
lean Indians hunt deer in the Cordil-
leras is very interesting and somewhat
ingenious, says the Detroit Free Press
They first ascertain the locality in
which the animals congregate to Craze,
and then the men, women, and old
children of the tribe make extensive
preparations to hem in the herd. In
order to cause a stampede they blow
horns, yell, and make other bewildering
and outlandish noises. AS natural
consequence the frightened deer quit
their grazing places. They form in line
in regular marching order, the elder
males leading the way, followed by the
females and young, while the rear of
the column is brought up by the young
bucks, who act as protectors to the
centers.
The Indians now close in on 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,
resinous torches, and nooses fixed to
long poles.
The worst enemy of the deer is the
jaguar and wildcat, 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 kno wing this, employ it to
great advantage during these hunts.
The women stuff number of
jaguar and cat skins, which are placed
in prominent positions on the edge of
precipices, in full view of the deer. Inn
mediately the bucks make violent eff
fort 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 or
otherwise disabled by the women, who
slaught on the stuffed figures the re-
naming deer seem to recognize the fact
that they have been tricked and hud-
die together, awaiting another attack.
Then the Indians 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 suf-
fcient number have been captured
usually four or five hundred. They do
not usually harm the females and fawns
and also allow few bucks to escape.
Very seldom is doe killed, and if a
fawn is captured it is Immediately lib
Grated. The flesh is eaten by the In
dams and also carried to the village to
be sold, while the skins are either pur-
chased by dealers or made up into va
rious articles by those who assisted in
their capture.

We have travelled few miles in our
lifetime, and know what it is to be
uncomfortably housed in a poorly up
holstered car and rudely tossed up and
down on old iron rails that are laid on
dirt road bed. We have been there,
but it was always on other roads than
the Santa Fe. Their main line be-
tween Chicago and Denver is hard to
beat. The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and rock-ballasted; and
the through "Cannonbah" train that
flies at 5O-miles-per-hour speed over
this elegant roadway is as pretty bit
of workmanship as Messrs. Pullman
ever turned out. Each vestibule
sleeper is model of luxury, and as
easy as a cradle. Chair cars, library
cars. and day coaches are all carefully
adapted to the travellers every want.
The Santa Fe is rightly named sthe
most comfortable line"

MENNONITES OF RUSSIA.

The Hardshfps of a Christian Sect Under
the Cars Government.
The Mennonites OF Russia, as well as
Hebrews, are complaining of the sever
tiles of the cars government, and, but
for the obstacles to their emigration,
the whole body of them would probably
come to this country. They are a
Christian sect over three centuries old,
and hold a baptisnal doctrine not recog-
nized by the orthodox Greek church,
into which the government has tried to
drive them.
The Russian Mennonites, who num-
Der only about 10000, took up their
habitation in southern Russia, near the
sea OF Azov. about a century ago, ex-
plains the New York Sun, having then
left Prussia on account of the hardships
to which they were subjected. They
are peaceful, intelligent, virtuous and
industrious people and they have en-
ioyed rare prosperity in that region.
The main trouble of the government
with them grows out of their religious
principle of non-resistance and their re-
fuSal to render military service. For a
long period of time they were exempt
from service by the DEGREES of the czars,
but this privilege was withdrawn TWEEN
ty years ago. They then obtained per-
mission to leave Russia within a speci-
fed time.
In 1878 they began to take advantage
of it, and several thousand of them
found refuge in this country. The first
colonies went as farmers to Kansas and
Minnesota, where they purchased land
and got along finely. The car seeing
their determination modified his decree
of CONSUMPTION, and gave orders that, in
time of war, they should be required
only to render service in the military
hospitals. The granting of this privilege
and the expiration of the period during
which they were allowed to emigrate
stopped the mennonite movement to
America. The whole body of them was
DESTROYS of leaving Russia, as they left
Prussia a century ago.
Now again they are suffering hard
ships through the operation of the con-
scription law and through the cars de-
termination to bring them into the ortho-
dox fold. Ifpermission could be obtained
by them to leave Russia they would fol-
low those of their brethren who came
here eighteen years ago.

Mapping the World.

Almost the whole of Europe has been
covered by exact surveys. Even in the
Balkan states, where the easygoing and
unscientific Turk has done almost
nothing to map the country that was
long under his control, the work has been
done for him by the enterprise of the
Russians, Austrians and Germans, who
naturally have taken a very great in
terest in mapping this mountainous and
debatable quarter of Europe. says
Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.
The first country on the continent to
undertake these minute surveys was
France, in 1850, and the work has
steadily progressed in various countries
until almost the whole OF Europe has
been mapped in beautiful and elaborate
detail. We find, however, that in a
large part of Scandinavia, Spain and
eastern Russia map-malers have not
yet the advantage of these detailed
SURVEYS.
