ly the same. The sportsmen with guns
newly cleaned and their favOrite dogs
eager for the trail are on the pralrles,
skirting the base of the mountains for
game. The ruthless slaughter and al
most complete extinction of the buffalo
and other game has taught the West a
lesson. and, much to the delight of the
true sportsman, stringent laws lave
been enacted to preserve those birds
and wild animals that are good for food.
Large numbers Of plOver are reported,
more than usual in Texas. But this
bird is found generally in the plains
country. Grouse and prairie chickens
are the birds that now give the greatest
sport. In some parts the quail Is sought
by the sportsman. but rs SO many OF
these birds have been killed for the
market during the past few years, the
laws have become very stringent, eSpe-
cially in the Middle and Western States.
The old quail hunts are not SO numer
Gus and there is no open season for
quail, Monaghan pheasant, or ptarmigan
in Colorado. Thousands of quail, pur-
chased in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and California, have been turned loose
in the mountains, and although some
persisted in becoming acclimated, quail
will soon be numerous in Colorado.
The ptarmigan of the mountains, some
thing like the partridge, is a wonderful
bird that is found high upin the ranges,
near the timber line. 1t lives near the
snow banks during the summer, but as
winter comes on, 1t gradually travels
lower down. The variation in It's plum
age makes the summer and winter speci-
mems of the ptarmigan, choice selections
for the cabinet. After becoming nearly
extinct, the ptarmigan of the mountains
now has no open season IN Colorado
and the number is increasing again.
The prairie chicken is not found in
large numbers on the plains contigu-
Gus to the Rocky Mountains. They are
more in the western prairie states like
Nebraska and Kansas.
In the mountains the willow grouse
and sage hen are sought at this season.
AS the name suggests, this kind of
grouse is found along the willows Of the
small mountain streams, and in the
openings of the gulches, where they
widen out into the valleys. The cock
is blush and is sometimes known as the
blue grouse. The hen is greyish in
color The blue grouse has fine white
meat, and many prefer its flavor to the
darker colOred prairie chicken. One
person can hunt the willow grouse, but
more commonly two sportsmen with a
dog each, take the trip together. Point
ers and seSters are both used in hunt
ing these birds, but the setter is pre-
ferred in the mountains as it is said to
stand the climate better.
When two are on the hunt for grouse,
they usually take position at opposite
sides of the gulch or opening with one
or more dogs, and thus flush their birds.
Thick underground a1d sometimes
heavy forests, give the grouse a good
shelter, and hence two sportsmen have
better luck than one alone. This bird
does not fly far, like the prairie chicken,
and in its flight to the opposite side of
the mountain stream, often becomes an
easy shot for the hunter, on the alert

By batting the waters with grain, the
wild fowls were lured near the edge,
where large net trap would be sprung
over them. At one lake in Colorado as
many as $40 ducks were thus captured
at one time. at another, As Canadian
geese, and the haul was always large.
The fowl trappers would then pull off
the heads of the ducks and geese, as
these birds thrust their necks through
the netting. The slaughter thus be-
came SO great, that a law WAS passed
prohibiting it.
The greatest time for hunting the
small game in the West, was just at the
close of the civil war. The Missouri
Kansas border had been made desolate
by war Many farm houses had been
burnt, the fences were down, fruit rip
ened and rotted in the orchards, and
sometimes, the few fields planted were
not reaped. Many hogs had become
wild in the woods. Wild turkeys had
enticed the tame ones from the farms
and plantations to live again in their
wild state. Deer and antelope were oc-
casionally found in the thickets. Rab-
it's, geese, ducks, brants, cranes, peli-
cans, prairie chickens: quail, turkeys,
and all kinds of bird life, thrived
t the settlements en- had been made.
Cranes were so plentiful that they
were often killed in large numbers and
fed to the hogs. The wild bears which
had been formerly domestic animals
were often dangerous. With the fences
down they had escaped to the woods,
and again returned to the wild state.
The wild hog hunt was then a great
sport. 1 have yet a distinct and vivid
recollection Of climbing trees in the Big
Creek bottoms, about fifty miles south
east of Kansas City, to escape from wild
bOarS. 1t may seem amusing now to
think Of wild hog once ranging that now
thickly settled country. but it was no
laughing matter for a boy to be chased
by wild boar. The tusks then seemed
to me, as | looked down from a tree, as
large as some Of the gigantic teeth I
have since seen in the Smithsonian In
stitute. WILL C.. FERRIL.

A Matter of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the dan
ger of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
theirsale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and infame the
alimentary organs and cause in
digestion, heartburn, diarheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-prO-
ducing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware Of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders so made, by al kinds Of alluring
advertisements and false representa-
tons. All the low-priced or so-called
cheap baking powders, and all powders
sold with a gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chemical
lypure cream of tartar and bi-carbonate
of soda are among the most useful of
modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation OF finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the dieestibility and
wholesomeness of our food. But bak-
ing powders must be composed of such
pure and wholesome ingredients or
| they must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health of
| New York, in an article in the doctor
of Hygiene" indicates that the advant-
ages of good baking powder and the
! exemption from the dangers of bad ones
in which the harsh and caustic chemi-
Gals are used, are to be secured by the
use of Royal Baking Powder exclusive
! ", and he recommends this to all con-
sumers. "The Royal" he says econ
! tains nothing but cream of tar
tar and soda refined to a chemi-
cal purity, which when combined IN
der the influence Of heat and
moisture produce pure carbonic, OF
| leavening, gas. The two materials used
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compromising weights, so that when
chemical action begins between them in
the dough they practically disappear
! the substance of both having been taken
! to form carbonic-acid gas" Hence it is
he says, that the Royal Baking Powder
! is the most perfect Of all conceivable
agents for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in.
| furious chemicals in place of those of &
well-known, pure, and wholesome char
acter simply for the sake of a few cents
pound greater profit; but since they
do, few words of warning seem to be
/ necessary.

Washington's Marble Gavei.

The handsome marble gavel used by
President George Washington at the
having of the cornerstone OF the Omted
States capitol 100 years ago is now IN
possession of the Potomac Lodge OF
Masons of Georgetown, by whom 1t is
suarded with care almost amounting to
yeneration. For fear that it might be
stolen or injured, it was ordered years
AGO to place the precious relic IN the
strong vaults of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank and from there it has
never been removed, except on the
order of the lodge. No man is allowed
dav. Whenever the lodge is requested
to allow the gavel to leave the vaults
to be used at some cornerstone laying
a committee of three is always APP
pointed to bear the relic company until
It's return. The gavel has been In the
possession of the lodge since the
day President WashingtoH presented 1t
to Master Valentine Rented Of Column
bia No. 10, of Maryland; which later
became known as Potomac Lodge, No.
). The presentation took place lmmed-
lately after the ceremonies OF the day
which is now celebrated had been con-
GUIDED. The gavel is of a fine quality,
slightly vellowish in appearance, and
about eight inches long. 1t once re-
ceived through an accident a severe
fall, which Clipped several pieces from
one of the faces, but these are now held
in place by bright gold bands An
appropriate incription is on the mallet.
In the early days of the mallet it was
stolen at one of the cornerstone layings
which took place in Washington, and
was recovered some time lately way up
In Massachusetts,, where it had been
sold to q Junk dealer InShinntnn St0r.

THROUGH THE MEADOW.
BY WILLIAM D. HowELLs

By WILLIAM n. HOWELLS.
The summer sun was soft and bland
AS they went through the meadow land.
The little wind that hardly shook
The silver of the sleeping brook
Blew the gold hair about her eyes
"A mystery of mysteries!
So he must often pause, and sto0p,
And all the wanton ringletS loop
Behind her dainty ear--emprlse
Of slow event and many signs.
Across the stream was scarce a step
And yet she feared to try the leap;
And he, to still her sweet alarm,
Must lift her over on his arm.
She could not keep the narrow way,
For still the little feet would stray,
And ever must he bend t undo
The tangled grasses from her shoe
From dainty rosebud lips in pout,
Must kiss the perfect flower out!
All, little coquette Fair deceit!
Some things are bitter that were sweet.

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age.
kENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY,
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoXBURY. MASS,


Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure lis war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Read the Label. Send for Book.
