But all at once the she jaguar, mad with

the two huge bodies suddenly thrown
both at once upon the same spot overbal-
Rnced the cage. 1t tottered on the edge of

splash right down into the stream, carry

Happily for our hero who would other

Try box, the shock of the fall snapped the
worn and rusty "catch" of the bolt, and
Dan, bruised and dizzy as he was, was able
10 push back the door of the cage and
scramble out into the shallower water,
which was little more than waist deep.
But Just as he was about to Chamber up
onto the bank a furious splashing in the
stream drew his attention to the third
jaguar, which badly hurt by a blow from
the corner of the cage as it fell was strug-

knife and buried tin the monsters throat

just at that moment the other officers of
the mine, startled by the firing, came rush

was the matter, and stood in blank amaze

the ''young milksop" by whom they had
been slain.
''Senor Don Daniele," at length said the
chief of the mining staff, who had always
been hardest of all upon the young hero,

Les nIauvaiseg Terres.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-If the hostile In
dians take refuge in the Bad Lands" as
recent dispatches state they are likely to,
then the job for our army is greatly sim
plifed. 1t is not to fight the hOstiles out
of thereof no, but to keep them in as
as long as possible For if the aforesaid
are the same sort of bad lands 1 saw out
there the hostiles who winter in them will
all be good Indians" before spring-that
is. dead ones. 1t is not possible that the
Indians could have driven in cattle enough
to last them all winter, nor would the cat
tie live long after getting there.
The "mauvaises terres," as the French
called them, of Dakota differ greatly from
the 'mala pals" of New Mexico or bad
lands of Wyoming and western Utah,
though the words mean the same thing,
and those of Dakota are by far the richest
in geological interest. Fossils of every
creature known to the cretaceous and ter
tiary periods are there by millions and the
indications are plain as to the origin of
such peculiar region. There was-so the
scientists tell us-a great ocean stretching
along the eastern base of the Rocky mount
aims from the gulf to the frozen north.
There was an upheaval and consequently
small seas left on rather high levels; the
seas drained away through the present
canyons, and their dried beds are the in
terror basins of today.
As the interior sea grew smaller the
aquatic monsters of that age naturally
concentrated toward the center-or, as is
more likely, many successive generations

SHOOTING THRoUGH THE BARs.

some that the owner of the mine, rich
citizen of Lima, had offered pretty high
reward for every jaguar (panther) killed,
but to kill them was no easy matter. The
wary beasts seemed TO avoid by instinct all
traps and pitfalls and would not touch
poisoned meat If band of hunters went
forth against them they were nowhere to
be seen, while any man who ventured
through the bush alone was apt to see
more of them than he liked.
This was the perilous mission that had
brought the brave American lad to that
dangerous spot by night. He had set a
trap for the jaguars and baited it with
himself, and now he was watching to see
what would come of it.
He had not long to wait. The savage
brutes had already scented him, and ere
long rustling and cracking was heard
among the bushes, and the Frightening
moon showed him three long, gaunt bodies
creeping stealthily toward the cage in
which he stood ready, rife in hand
They were complete jaguar family

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
New Things on society's Cards-Dancing
Teas and Blue Ribbon Dinners.


Teas and Blue Ribbon Dinners.
The newest thing on the society cards is
Che dancing tea. 1t is an afternoon dance,
which shall, it is decreed, commence at 4
O'Clock and end at T. You are to 60 to it in
dinner dress, so that you may drive off TO
table as soon as you have danced yourself
hungry. If you are exceptionally favored
you may be invited TO dinner 10 follow
She dance under the same roof, but this is
not obligatory on host or hostess.
If You receive an invitation to dinner
with a knot of blue ribbon attached to it
you may know that you will either have to
carry pocket flask or worry along on tea,
coffee and cold water. Among n certain
class, to whom small economies are not
Eiistasteful, the blue ribbon card will no
doubt be popular The saving made 10y
not serving wine is quite an item some
times, and the fact that England has given
sanction to it may give the custom foot
ing.
The New York World, which is author

fad evolved from some society woman's
active brUn-the heart party. One recent
" given on Fifth avenue is the subject of
much comment. No one present could be
called heartlcSs, for hearts prevailed. The
tables were hearts, the fayorS were hearts,
and, as usual, the women were all heart.

Firing Great Guns

On the assumption that the rapid heat
ing of the interior she'll, while the outer
shell is comparatively cool, is the chief
cause of the bursting of great guns, an in
ventor proposes 10 cool the gun after each
discharge by the rapid Introduction OF
liquefed carbonic acid gas. He claims
that his special mode of doing this. used IN
connection with peculiar arrangement Of
the powder chamber, by which it is much
contracted in area at the front end, can be
utilized in discharging high explosives
His theory is that the released gas goes
out between the projectile and the bore
and keeps the former from heating. What
ever may be the merit of this theory, there
seems to be no authentic record of It's hav

Daniel Martin was the junior of the staff

partly because, instead of spending his
evenings like them, in fooling away his
money at cards or drinking himself stupid

scientific books or studying the construc-

No one ventured actually to modest him,
for quiet as he was there was a look about
him that warned the most reckless not to
go too far. But they all looked down upon
him as a milksop, and whenever he passed
they laughed and whispered spiteful jokes
to each other, which he was luckily not so
silly as to mind.

The New York Nation, referring
to the measure for the gradual aboli-
ton of the sugar bounties in Ger
many, says that while the "sugar-
producers were getting their bounty
cut of the pubic treasury, the E'g
lish were getting the cheap sugar "
That journal further says: The
German precedent was freely cited
by our own bounty advocates in the
last Congress, who have nothing but
contempt for the example of abroad
except when it is "a bad example and
they want TO follow it, Now that it
fails them, they will doubtless dis
own all foreign models, and fall back
on their favOrite thesis that the Unit
ed States are privileged to defy all
the established canOns of taxation
and finance" Evidently the bounty
system will have rugged road to
travel in the United States. Even
the Louisiana planters, as we have
been informed by one who has talked
with them, are more alarmed than
gratified at the measure. They are
afraid of popular prejudice being
created against them from the prom
inence in which they are placed as
direct beneficiaries of the treasury.
