COYOTE STRATEGY.
how the Tawny Army of Brutes Captures
Its Prey.

dow the Tawny Army of Brutes Captures
Its Prey.
In the dim light of the early morn
:ng in certain of the Humboldt, Peran-
,gat, Mason, and other valleys may be
seen queer tawny army, marsha!ed in
some places by dozens and in others by
scores The army is called together by a
:eveille, and soon thereafter the strange
music which breaks the stiffness of the
aesert swells into a chorus participated
in by all the memb ers of the tawny
troop.
1t is the gathering of the coyotes, and
they are out, their appetites sharpened
by the crisp air, to gain their regular
breakfast of jerkcd jack-rabbit meat.
There is a shifting among the sage and
yreasewood by the avant-courierso of the
sharp-toothed brigade. Mean time all
the others have been deployed in such
manner that when fleet-footed jack
has been raised from his lair he is
passed on and on. The coyotes usually
arrange themselves in the form of a
long ellipse. Thus the jack, however
large and strong, and whether fleet as
the wind, is sure at last to weary him
self.
He cannot get out, for a willy coyote
at every turn checks him and keeps him
in the ellipse and in the lead of his pur-
suer. When the coyote in pursuit tires
another, fresh as the air of the morn
ing, takes up the chase. Thus an un-
firing Nemesis is always after him, and
in due time the tired, painting rabbit
falls prey to the yellow troop.
At the death they all rush in their
jaws working like fast-fying shear
blades The rabbit is cut in ,.ieces,
snapped up and eaten, and then another
weird reveille is sounded, another Jack
is started up, and thus they go for two
ger of all is appeased.
This hunting in troops, as is pointed
out by Col. Joseph Grandelmyer, the
sagebrush pioneer, enables each of the
brigade of coyotes to get good meal.
If but one of the coyotes were to start
after the rapidly flying jack he would
become quickly winded without affect
ing the jack whatever, but with relays
OF coyotes, and one always to take up
the chase when the other is tired, vic.
tory soon perches on their banner
Grandelmyer insists that the coyote
army is most scientifically generated.
The commander-in-chief, veteran of
the chase, usually sits on some slight
eminence, his lieutenant and aids being
in full view to repeat his orders.
''Never was there a better drilled
army than this of the coyotes" said he
yesterday. ''What they don't know
about maneuvering, ambusca.ies, and
the tactics of the field generally, it will
take long time to find out have
studied them much. 1t is one of the
most interesting sights of the desert to
see the marshaling of the coyotes at
the sounding of the weird reveille and
watch their capture of the rabbits -

of the executive board are canvassing
among exhibitors, and state that q
number of new and attractive displays
will be seen this year on the grounds.
The farmers institute, under the dircc-
ton of Superintendent O. C. Gregg,

HOMESTEAD, Pa July 2s.-At the
governors suggestion : body Of police
officers In the persons Of deputy
sheriffs has been placed throughout
the borough Of Homestead to sup.
plant tho unlimited military con.
troll that had been gradually estab
lished. The soldiers are now to aid the
civil authorities, and not to be their
superiors. A street procession headed
by the town council In honor Of the
chief magistrate of the borough is moi
to be dispersed. The sheriff of the
county, or his representatives, are to be
the ones to say when the danger point
has been reached by assemblaRes Of
citizens, the men in uniform with guna
in their hands being no longer to con.
stitute themselves, at will, Judge, Jury
and executioners.
Except on call of the sherifrs repre-.
sentatives the militia in Homestead are
to restrict their operations to looking
after their own business. Gen. Snow.
pen admitted that he was aware the in.
stallation of the sherifrs representa-,
tives was Gov. Pattison's own sugges
ton. The general declined to attempt
to define the respective limits of au
thority of the militia and the deputy
sheriffs and refused to discuss the rea,
sons for the change in the situation.
The friction in the borough between
the military and the people was getting
uncomfortable when the opportune ar
rival of the sheriffs checked per.
manently, it is to be hoped, the indica,
tions of ugly temperament on both
sides.
The advisory committee on the
Homestead lockout has prepared 4
statement of its position, in which the
committee signifies its recognition Of
law and other peaceful means as the
only elements that should have part in
the settlement of the present trouble
and pledges itself and the workingmen
of Homestead to refrain from violence
and lawlessness.

Total Eclinses of the Sun.

Every year there must be two eclipses
Of the sun, and there may be five. These
are partial eclipses, however, except in
the comparatively rare case in which the
moo passes nearly centrally over the
suns disk and produces a total obscura-
ton of his light. Since the invention of
the sp~ectroscope, in 1860, there. have
been barely a score of total eclipses, and
a number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions OF upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is a narrow strip
never more than 40 miles wide-where
the point of the moons shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eclipses rarely occur,
therefore, at the same point Of the earth.
At London, for example, there has been
no total eclipse since the year l140, ex-
cept that of 1715, and there will be none
during the next century.-Professor E.
s. Holden in Century.

Admiration Among Indians.

Man lives by admiration" and the
Indian can admire. His favorite tale,
listened to with ever fresh interest, is of
a hero who would not enter heaven if
his dog were excluded. He has placed
among his gods an English general who
was both true and brave, and | heard
from East Indians of differing views
how, comparing European races, they
placed the British highest. They adj
mired their devotion to principle. 1.-The
British are the only foreigners who die
for what seems right" But the same
men, criticising what they admired for
its want of tenderness and sympathy,
often added, THE British, and espe-
cially the women, keep themselves aloof
and ALLEVIATE the admiration they might
h0ld."-Nineteenth Century.

When a Man Walks.

The man afOOt ON the surface of his
w earth is the true king; the So called
monarch who journeys in a coach or in
a bomb proof railway carriage is, in
truth a slave. The pressure of the free
foot on turf or road exhilarates the soul;
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerves and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our
own; it flows rhythmically into our
lungs and unites us with the sky. The
horizon wooes and stimulates the eyes;
they become bright and gain power and
judgment. Nature instructs Us at every
step; her beauty must ever remain I'M
known to him who has not thus placed
himself face to face with her.
Distant hills slowly draw near and
unfold to US their wonders Of color and
form; winding valleys reveal their love
ly hearts to orderly seeking, temper
ing their surprises by exquisite grada-
tiOns. The trees are companions; each
yields to US its individual charm, and so
passes US on to the new charm of its
neighbor. The forests veil from us the
sky, as if to remind US of the beauties of
this earth; the broad plains smile to
heaven, in intimation that earth and
heaven are inwardly at one. Every in
sect, animal and bird vouchsafes us
glimpses of its secret life, which shuns
the mOnstrOsity of u machines .-Julian
Hawthorne in LippincOtt's.

Meaning of "SophOmOre."

Saysa Cincinnati literary man: Il used
to think that the word sophomore was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable, | thought, to
the second class in a college, because
they"were more wise than their fellows
in their own estimation. But it seems
that the word has a purer g~enealogy and
a meaning even less fattering to the
class of collegians to whom it is applied.
1t was first used at the University OF
Cambridge, England, and in it's infancy
appeared in the form 'soph-mor.' 1t was
composed of the word 'soph,' a contrac-
ton for 'sophister,' and a Greek word
meaning foolish (morOs).
THE college course extended over
three years and one term. The respect
i've classes of students were termed
freshmen, OF first year men; junior
sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and
questiOners. This nomenclature was
transferred to the American higher in
stitutions of learning, and in the form
freshmen, Juniors and seniors still exists,
while it has wholly disappeared on the
other side of the water."-New York
Tribune.

~ThundstormA at Sea.

An electric storm at sea is one of the
alarming experiences to which a mari
ncr is exposed, but as a matter of record
it is II that is least fruitful in disas-
trous results. AS a rule few precau-
tons are taken to guard against a stroke
of lightning, especially in the merchant
service. Ships of war are usually fitted
with lightning conductors, a p%recaution
made necessary by the explosives stored
away in their magazines. But these
safeguards are seldom seen on a mer-
chant vessel, and judging by the ex-
IRENE rarity of the cases where they
have been struck, Jacks claim that he
is safer on the ocean than on shore dur
ing an electrical disturbance must be
admitted.
1t is a well established theory that one
caught in a thunderstorm should not
take shelter under a tall tree, especially
If it stands in a clearing. Why light
ming should strike an isolated piece of
timber on shore and spare it after it has
been converted into a vessels mast is
yet to be satisfactorily explained.-New
York Times.

A Large German Castle,

The Castle of Heidelberg is the larg-
est in Germany. 1t stands $50 feet above
the Neckar river, and was occupied as a
castle as early as 1894 a. d. In a cellar
in Il corner of the ruins is the famous
"tun" or monster cask capable of hold
ing $4,000 gallons: This vas for the
storage of wine used by the nobility who
dwelt in this castle. 1t is believed that
the Grand Duke of Baden will abandon
the idea which he recently entertained
of attempting to restore" the ruins and
convert them into a modern palace

Is f~rcquented chiefly by English people,
the after dinner talk Is very apt TO drift
toward American topics, and any guest
who has visited that country sets up at

yes. Iknow you Americans pretty well.

in Louisville, Chicago and Buffalo, par

happened to be his place of residence,
and that the only savages he remeln-
bored seeing there were the occasional
and inoffensive vendors of sassafras root,

his American interlocutor see that his

W at morn my doves few free:
AT eve they circled back to me.
The first was Faith, the second Hope,
The third-the whitest-Charity.

Dreamlike they lowered day by day.

Green signs OF peace through nightfall gray.

Their gentle eyes had left unscanned.
Mid hues of twilight heliotrope
Or daybreak fires by heaven-breath famed.
Quick visions OF celestial grace
Hither they watt from earth's broad space.
Kind thoughts Of all humanity.
They shine with radiance from God-s face.
All, since my heart they choose for home,
Why loose them-forth again to roam?
Yet look; they rise! With loftier scope
They wheel in flight toward Heavens pure

Fly, messengers that find no rest
Save in such toll as makes man blestI
Your bone is Gods immensely:
We hold you but at his behest.

Value of Pain in Surgery.

When ether was first discovered and
used in surgery it was said that to abol-
ish pain woLld be to change the laws of
nature herself; that pain is a safeguard;
that it indicates, in cases of injury, the
seat of injury, and in some instances
the cause of injury; that if men learned
to minimize or prevent it at pleasure
they might annul it altogether and in
vent a new constitution in which this
sentinel of danger would be at all times
off duty.-Dr. Richardson III Longman's
Magazine.
