hide and horns. The false buffalo
being stationed between the herd
and the precipice, the Indians would
surround the herd, as nearly as posi-
Bile, and then rush from their conceal
ment shouting like demons. The
animals being alarmed, and seeing
no way open but in the direction of
the false buffalo, would run toward
it, and the false buffalo moving
quickly to the edge Of the cliff went
over, but by some preconceived ar
rangement took refuge in a cave,
cleft or shelf. The leaders of the herd
would pause on the brink, seeing
death before them but those behind
could not see the abyss, and would
press madly forward, so that those
in front were forced to leap to the
rocky ground hundreds of feet below,
while those behind were goaded
forward by the hunters until they
became mad with fear, and followed
on to the same end. The Indians
then selected as much meat as they
wished, and left the rest to the
wolves.

CANADIAN SERVANTGALISM.

The Montreal papers complain
that the servant girls of Canada"
are now flying to the United States,
where wages are better than in the
Dominion. II these young women
are really fitted for domestic service,
if they are first class cooks, house
maids, mattresses, nurses or house
keepers, they can get places here, and
a great many of them will be able in
course OF time to find eligible hus-
bands, The "servant-girl question"
is forever uppermost in numberless
American households, and we should
think if fifty or hundred thousand
well-trained Canadian domestics
were to come to this country few
Of them would need to stand long in
heintelligence Offices. What is Can
ada to do if they come? That is
Canada's business N. Sun.

HOW THE BUFFALOS DIED.

A story teller of half a century ago
gave an account of a terrible method
which the western Indians used in
destroying the buffalo, and one
which must have been the means Of
shutting out an incalculable number
of lives. The red hunters, he said,
were wont to lie concealed in the
vicinity of some high precipice, and
when herd of bisons came roaring
thither in search of food, they would
send one or two braves out among
them, concealed in the effigy OF a
buffalo and covered with its head,

MUSIC IN EMERGENCY,

The famous tenor and father OF
Mallbran was once in Mexico giving
operate performances. War broke
out, and Garcia was soon on his
way home. Before he reached Vera
Cruz band of brigands met him,
and took not only his money and
valuables, but also his clothes.
In ransacking his things the jol-
ly brigands soon found out
that their captive was a singer, so
they demanded song. Gracia pos
itively refused. Then the attitu lie OF
the robbers became menacing and
Garcia thought it well to acquiesce.
He did so, and was led to a promi-
nent position for the better enjoy
ment of the song The great voca-
list opened his throat, but could not
progress, whereupon the soi.disant
patrons Kissed and cursed. This was
terrible to bear-insult and derision.
Garcia made another effort, and
burst into flight Of song which en-
tranced his hearers-so much so that
they restored him part of his clothes
and valuables, and escorted him as
near as they could safely venture to
the coast.
Something Of a similar experience
was once the lot of Cherubini, who
had to figure in the role of fiddler
in spite OF himself In the story days
OF 1892 it was a perilous experiment
to walk the streets of Paris. During
an occasion OF more than ordinary
excitement the composer of Les
Deux ournees, Medee, etc., fell into
the hands of a band of SanSculottes
who were rowing about seeking mu-
sicans to conduct their chants. To
them it was a special qualification to
compel the talent that had formerly
delighted royalty to minister now to
their own qualification. On Cheru-
bini firmly refusing the crowd,
the fatal words, THE Royalist, Roy
alist," went up. At this critical mo-
ment one of Cherubini's friends-also
kidnapped musican-seeing his
imminent danger, thrust violin into
his unwilling hands, and babe him
head the mob, The whole day these
two musicians accompanied the
hoarse and overpowering yells of
the revolutionary horde, and when
at last a halt was made in a public
square, where banquet took place,
Cherubini and his friend had to
mount empty barrels and play till
the feasting is over.-[Gentlemen's

A GIRLS ESSAY ON BOYS.

Boys are men that have not got
as big as their papas, and girls are
women that will be young ladies by
and.by.
Man was made before woman.
When God looked at Adam, he said
to himself well think can do bet.
ter if | try again, and then he made
Eve. God liked Eve so much more than
Adam, that there have been more
women than men. Boys are trou-
BILE. They wear out everything, but
soap. If | had my way, half the
boys in the world would be girls, and
the rest would be dolls. My papa is
so nice that | think he must have
been little girl when he was little
boy.

CALIFORNIA AT THE WORLDS
FAIR.

At the Worlds Fair, amid all the
arts and manufactures, the question
of the food supply of the world is
not neglected. At the Agricultural
and Horticultural buildings space is
given to the food products of nearly
every part of the civilized world.
The California building teens with
fruits and grains of all kinds. The
housekeeper will be particularly in
terested in the fruits and vegetables,
which she will find here in the fresh
state, as well as canned and dried.
The trees and shrubs which bear
these fruits are so arranged through
out the building that one sees how
the fruit grows in that wonderful
country. Still further to help to a
better conception of the country,
there are large photographs show
ing the size of the trees and vines
and the extent of the groves and
vineyards. One can understand
from these pictures what is meant
by sitting under ones own vine and
fig tree. In the cases there are found
figs, preserved in syrup, dried and
pressed, and dried and impressed.
The product of the vine is seen in
great clusters of white, red and pur-
pie grapes suspended in large bottles;
in boxes of raisins, arranged in the
most tempting manner, and in the
wines of the country. At one end
of the great hall there is an olive
tree, with graceful branches and
lovely silvery-green foliage; at an
other place one can see a picture Of
an olive grove, and in one of the
sections the olive in all stages. The
California olive is not so large as
the Spanish fruit, but by many it is
preferred to its foreign sister. In
California it is frequently eaten fresh
from the tree in the ripe state, 1t is
then quite dark, but, as rule, it is
put in pickle when green. The Cali
fornia olive oil l have found to be
of superior quality. 1t looks as if in
time we might get a good supply Of
this oil for home use. One is sur
prised at the extent of the prune and
peach orchards and the orange
groves of this country. 1t seems as
if everything that grows in sub-trop-
ical and temperate zones were pro-
duced in California; Maria Parloa,
in Good Housekeeping. '

Surprise Party.

Mr.. EDITOR if you will allow me space II
your valuable paper, | will try to tell you
little about birthday surprise to the
honor of the venerable father, William
Scott, by his children on the 10Th OF April,
1898, which was his eighty seventh birth
day. He lives with his youngest son W.
J. Scott, on the old homestead in Lancast-
er Twp, where be first settled in the early
days of this county, and where he is
cared for by his son and his estimable
lady with all the tenderness and attention
that can be bestowed on an aged parent.
His family was four sons and four daught-
ers, six of whom are yet living-one son
died IN the service while member of Co.
E, 100 Regt., Pa. Vol.-and a daughter
who died young-The other six were all
present at this surprise, not having been
home at one time for some twenty years.
They found the old gentleman comforta-
BILE but very feeble and very much bowed
down with age, but still may enjoy few
birthday visits yet. He has twenty -four
grand children living, several of Them
scattered over the West, and twenty six
great grand children living and several
dead
The day was pleasant and we think was
enjoyed by all present, and especially the
dinner which is always enjoyed when
gotten up at home gathering where
peace and brotherly love abounds.
After good many discussions on family
history ana other topics of the day, we
left for our homes regreting that the day
was not much longer. A
