ATTACKED BY 4 BUFFALO.
The Narrow Escape from Death of a
Green Hunter.

The Narrow Escape from Death of a
Green Hunter.
Sir Samuel W. Baker in his latest
book, wild Beasts and Their Ways. ''
nGrrstcs an adventure which shows that
a hunters life may depend upon his
attention TO small details. Sir Samuel
and 1Ir. Dick were shooting In Africa.
when they saw a solitary bull buffalo
on the opposite side of a small crce1-
The bull was evidently in . stat- Of
great excitement, for as the hunters
drew near the creek he faced them. tore
up the turf with his horns. and looked
down the perrlEa5aular bank. twelve
feet high, as though mgditatine de-
scent.
Dick, who carried a E-tl- rilo. q eia-
gle barrel which shot a small .u-ari.. ..l
ban, had by Sig samuels advice doubled
his charge OF powder.

exposing his neck. Dick fired. The bull
couvulsively turned round and IclI upon
his side.
The two men yaded across the creek
at shallow place, and ran to where
the p-ostrate animal was lying appar-
emily dead. Dick. standing In front of
the bu5is head, reveled in the delight #
his Grzt buffalo.
Never stand At the head OF a buffalo
whether dead or alive" exclaimed Sir
Samuel. whose experience had taught
him p be cautious. stand upon the
side facing the back OF the animal
well away from its legs, as l am stand
inc now"
Scarcely had he uttered the words
when the bull sprang to his feet and
blundered forward struigbt at the as
tonished Dick, not three feet distant.
He jumped backward 10 avoid the
horns, but tripped and fell upon lis
back right in the path of the savage
bull.
As quick as lightning Sir Samuel
drew his long hunting-lniie and plunged
it behind the buifaIo's shoulder. The
animal fell TO the blow lie had re
ceived his death-strol1e.
If the hunting-l1nife had not been
tempered steel, with Q keen edge and
a sharp point, the story would have had
a tragical ending. The blade, a part OF
an old Andrea Ferrarar Highland
claymore, was eighteen inches long,
two inches in breadth, doubled-edged.

make IL.
Sir Samuel saw to it that it was al
ways in the condition Of a surgeon's
lancet. He never LETT the camp for q
days shooting without first examining
its point and edge. No servant was
allowed handle it, and when it needed
sharpening he himself honed it. When
he struck the buffalo the sharp double.

artery of the heart.

pEsR HUNTING I'M TIE ANDES.
south American Indians Seize Any Adj

south 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 bewildcring
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 10 the
centers.
The Indians now close in on them.
seeing which the animals prepare 20 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 eat skins, which are placed
in prominent positions on the edge of
precipices, in full view of the deer. I'm
sncdiately the bucks make q violent ef-
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-
manning deer seem to recognize the fact
that they have been triclzed and hud-
die together, awaiting another attack.
Then the Indians throw lighted
torches among them and a panic cnsues.
They make desperate efforts to escape,
but the relentless hunters drive them
over the crags until they see that a suf-
icient number have been captured
usually four or five hundred. They do
not usually harm the females and fawns
and also allow i few bucks TO escape.
Very seldom is a doe killed. and If
fawn is captured il is Immediately lib
Grated. The flesh is eaten by the In
dians 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 captura

a great amount of railroad building
is going on all over Switzerland, sparing
no. mountain, no valley, and it is sur
pr;sing to find that this most difficult of
all countries for railroad engineering
should possess relatively more railways
than the New England states. In the
latter there is one kilOmeter of railways
to every seventeen square l1ilometers OF
land; in Switzerland one to every thir-
teen square l1ilometers; in other words,
the New England states are four and a
half times larger than Switzerland, and
have but three times more railways, al
though in Switzerland one-half Of the
country is occupied by the highest
mountain ranges of Europe. The re-
ccipts average in the New England
states about three thousand dollars 4
year per klometer; in Switzerland,
fifty-five hundred dollars, which diff
ference is mainly due to summer travel

The Hardships of Christian Sect Under

The NcnnoniteS o. Russia, as well as
Hebrews, are complaining of the sever
tiles OF the ears government. and. but
for the obstacles TO their emigration,
the whole body of them would probably
come 10 this country. They are a
Christian sect over three centuries old,
and hold baptismal doctrine not recog-
uized by the orthodox Greek church,
into which the government has tried to
drive them.
The Russian Mennonites, who num-
Der only about 60 O00, 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 ia 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 decrees Of the czars.
y years ago. They then obtained per
mission to leave Russia within a speci-
fed time.
In 1873 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 ear seeing
their determination modified his decree
OF conscription- and gave orders that, IN
time OF war, they should he 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 emigr.4te
stopped the mennonite movement to
America. The whole body Of them was
desirous of leaving Russia, as they left
Prussia n century ago.
Now again they are suffering hard
ships through the operation of the con-
scription law and through the ears de-
termination 10 bring them into the ortho-
doX fold. If permission could be obtained
by them TO leave Russia they would fol-
low those of their brethren who came
here eighteen years ago.

viviaI StatesmaD's Hat.
The following story is told by the
Chicago Herald of 4 politician, and it
can be taken for what IL is worth. He
was pretty good sort of fellow in his
way, this. .politican, but he had a way of
going off occasionally and imbibing
liquor with his constituents. One night
recently he went off more than ever
He drank beyond his limit and got into
that condition when all the world is
rosy and life is a great big joke. He
wandered around TO various drinking
shops in his neighborhood and took
additional cOnsiguments of hilarity
aboard at every stopping place. About
midnight he concluded 70 take 4 walk
Ills walk was not long, but it was long
enough TO tire him out, and he dropped
on doorstep on dark corner of across
street. His hat fell into his lap, his head
dropped over on his shoulder and he
was soon sound asleep. In the darkness
he looked like poor beggar seeking
Tor aims rather than the well-dressed
politician he had been a few hours be-
fore. The upturned hat in his lap
seemed 70 appeal for pennies. Several
passers-by noticed what they supposed
70 be beggar sitting there, and in the
kindness of their hearts they dropped
nlckels and pennies into the hat ItWas in
TINS position that q number of the friends
OF the disabled politician found him a
iew hours later. When they woke him
he discovered, much to his surprise and
chagrln, that the charitable public had
contributed seventy-six cents to his
treasury while he slept. ''Seventy-six
cents eh?' said he, as he counted out
the money. well, boys, that'II Just
