Indexing Extraordinary.

A work on the Origin of the HUI
man Reason, by St. George Mivart
has been subjected to some very abb
surd indexing. The London Daily
News gives a sample as follows:
Mr.. Mivart had referred on page
1876 of his book to some articulate ut
terances of a certain parrot which
sounded remarkably like replies to
questions. This anecdote gives the in
dexer his great opportunity. He in
dexes this twice under A, and thereaf-
ter under twelve other letters with va.
riations of perfectly fascinating inge-
nuity-thus:
Absurd tale about cockatoo, 1856.
Aneedote, absurd one, about cock
atoo, 1856.
Bathos and a cockatoo, 1876.
Cockatoo. absurd tale concerning

Tale about rational cockatoo. as as

Very absurd tale about cockatoo,
1856.
Wonderfully foolish tale about

This is all the more astonishing as
the book is a very dull one.

A Hunter Shot at for a seal.

One day last week Chas. Wolf, of
Bath. was down the Kennebec in his
float after ducks or shelldrake, and,
having spied one of the latter birds in
the water near Lees island, started for
shot. He had sculled almost within
shot, and was anticipating securing the
game when ping came a rifle bullet
and struck the ice cakes on the bow of
the float, the ice being used to deceive
the birds. Had Mr.. Wolf had a com
panion with him in the bow, the bullet
would have struck his gun barrel as it
lay over the front of the float. The
hunter was somewhat disturbed by
the shot, which he presumed was, of
course, accidental, but continued soul
ling toward the shelldrake. In min
ping came a second shot, this time di-
rectly over his head, and Wolf, glanc-
ing in the direction of the shot, discov-
cred man with a rifle on the Phips-
burg shore. The rifleman was shoot
ing purposely at the float
Immediately Wolf stood up in his
boat and waved his hand at the shoot
er, at the same time, of course
frightening the shelldrake and losing
the bird. The man on shore, who halls
from Parker's head, was visiting
friends in Phipsburg, and had brought
his rifle along with which to shoot
seals. Seeing VOLTS float, which,
covered with ice, looked like an ice
foe, and, noticing Wolf lying on
the stern, he inferred that the
sportsman was a seal taking
sail on the ice and so blazed away.
When, however Wolf stood up the
rifleman discovered his mistake, and
feared that he had wounded his hui
man game. Running to the shore, he
jumped into boat and rowed out to
the float, and was greatly rejoiced to
find his supposed victim uninjured,
but naturally annoyed to lose his bird.
