THE STORY OF LIFE.


Only the same old story, told In different
strain;
Sometimes smile Of gladness, and then stah
of pain;
Sometimes flash of sunlight, again the drift
ing rain.
Sometimes it seems to borrow from the Grim.
son rose its hue;
Sometimes black with thunder, then changed
to a brilliant blue;
Sometimes as false as Satan, sometimes as
Heaven true.
Only the same old storyl But oh. how the
changes ringl
Prophet and priest and peasant. soldier and
scholar and king:
Sometimes the warmest hand clasp leaves in
the palm sting.
Sometimes in the hush OF even, sometimes In
the midday strife,
Sometimes with dovelike calmness, sometimes
with passions rife,
We dream It, write it, live 1t. this weird, wild
story of life.

The Old and New Way Of Securing Wool.
Our ancestors secured their wool in
tubs, much as our wives and daughters
scour our clothes today. In the hand
washing Of wool, a tub was filled with
the suds, in which one or two men with
long poles stirred the wool until clean,
when they lifted it upon travelling
apron, which carried it between pair
Of rollers which squeezed out the water.
The same principle is applied In the au-
tomato securing now in vogue.
Great forks or ralSes seize the wool as
1t is carried by rollers from feeding
apron into the iron tanks, and by alter
mating motions of their teeth give it a
thorough securing. Thus cleansed, the
wool is delivered by rollers to the dry
ing machines, where hot air and great
fans are now utilized to extract all the
moisture without tearing the fiber.--S.

A statns OF foInmhns

This city owns one piece of statuary
that few persons see, although 1t is O
work peculiarly significant because of the
approaching anniversary. Standing in
the glooAa of the first floor hall in the
arsenal building in Central park is a
marble statue of Columbus Of heroic size.
1t Is the work of Emma Stebbins, and it

the continent. 1t is gambling pure
and simple, may be played by any
number of players and with any
number Of packs of cards. All bet
against the dealer, who banks and
deals from a box similar to a cigar
box. The face cards each count
ten, and the others according to
the number of their spots. After
the bets have been made the
banker deals two cards to each
of the players, including himself,
but the other players must receive
their cards before the banker is
served.
The aim of the players is to
make the numbers 8, 10, 20, or as
nearly these as possible, as 8, IS
and %. Any player is at liberty
either to stand" with the two
cards first dealt, or to call for more
at the risk of exceeding 20, when
his stake is forfeited to the dealer.
If, after the first distribution of
two cards to each, any player has a
''natural"-that is, sum making
it, or, next in value, 1O-he de-
clares it and the banker pays all
who hold Superior hands to his own
and claims from those holding in
ferior hands. The players stake
their money separately, their being
in fact, as many separate games in
progress as there are players, and
the spectators may wager their
money on any one of them, all of
which must be accepted by the
banker.
Prior to the banker making a
start he states the amount in the
bank-for example, ESQ. Any one
sitting down at the table has the
right to call all the whole of the
bank, selecting the lett or the right
on which to pick up the cards. If
the bank is not called then the
banker proceeds to deal to 425 u
side, or as much of it as may be
marked" or called-the former
meaning that the money is placed
IN the table, the latter that the
banker has accepted the bet with
'ut the money being staked. The
after course, however, is quite the
exception, the ready coin being in
'ariably planked. Previous to the
banker dealing the cards it is the
iuty of the two croupiers, one of
he right and the other of the left,

either side, and then make up the

about to smash in q window when
we peppered him with handful of
fine shot kept on hand for such
emergencies. We hardly believed
any of them would get through the

they did and he had to have doc

CUNNING DEER HUNTERS.

Low tho South American Indians Pro-
vtdo Themselves with vcnison-
The manner in which the South Amer
ican Indians hunt deer in the Cordiller-
as rs very interesting and somewhat In
gcnious- They first ascertain the 10
cality in which the animals conCregate
to grazc, and then the men, women and
children Of the tribe make extensive
preparations to hem In the herd. In or
Ger TO cause 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 oct as protectors to the CEN
tiers.
The Indians now close IN upon them,
seeing which the animals prepare 70 do
battle for their lives The hunters then
proceed to prepare the instruments of
destruction. consisting OF large lances,
rcsinous torches and nooscs fixed 70
long poles.
The worst enemy of the deer is tho
jaguar and wildcat, and their animosi-
ty 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 70
great advantage during these hunts.
The women stutf number of jaguar
and cat skins. which are placed in prom
incnt positions on the edges OF preci-
pieces in full view of the deer, saws the
Detroit Free Press Immediately tho
bucks make u violent effort 10 get at
them in order 20 hurl them into the
obyss beneath, but are thus treated
themselves by the willy hunters, who
pitch them over the cliff. where they
arc quickly ham-strung or otherwise
disabled by the women. who are sta
toned below. After the first onslaught
on the stuffed figure the remaining deer
seem to recognize the fact that they
have been tricked, and huddle together,
awaiting another attack.
Then the Indians throw lighted torch
es among them and panic cnsues.
They make desperate efforts to escape,
but tho relentless hunters drive them
over the crags until they see that sufti-
cientnunber have been captured-gen-
orally four or FIVE hundred. They do
not usually harm the females aud fawns,
and also allow few bucks 10 escape,
Very seldom is n doe killed, and If she
fawn Is captured it is Immediately lib
