Tho SCOTCH National Gam ..

The "roarinG" game of curling ID pl aged.
not with flatirons. exaggerated or other
wise. but with large circular stones. Qsnsr-
ally hswn from Aberdeen granite. weighing
fifty pounds, s~urmounted by silver handles.
Thess stones and a heather broom to keep
the link clear constitute the equipments of q
curlsr. There il no betting, quar- cling or
drinking. On the ice all men are equal,
from tho peer to the peasant. and friendly
Intercourse Ia tho rule. not the exception.
Many a breach has been healed. many a
slight forgotten. when old friends meet
once more on the loch. AS TO betting,
there ia no such thing in connection with
the game, almost the only excitement in
connection with il being to ray for coal or
meal for the poor OF the village. Last. but
not least, as to drinking on the ice. A
man wants a clear head and a sure foot
to send his stone straight home, and
whisky will not help this. When the
game ls over, true enough, the
flask goes round or ths kettle of toddy
about, but what is that after hours of play
in the hard, frosty air that would knock
most Englishmsn up for weeks? In the
Perthshire highlands at present in every
village you will find the national game in
full swing. Let a man buy a pair Of stones
and a broom, and after q week OF real
Scotch curling in real : cotch weather be
will come back in ''roarina" health and
spirits and with a true idea of Scotch
Sport.-London Society.

BETTER PHONE SERVICE.
Which Will Give Better Com municAtiOE
for Helena and BUTTE.

Which Will Give BETTER Com unicatiOE
for Helena and Butte.
1--WE shall spend moro money in Montans
this year than We have ever lone before in
any single year." said Mr.. ID. s. Murray.
Mr.. Murray il the general supe in
tcndsnt of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company, with headquarters NJ Salt
Lake, says the Inter Mountain.
I'm round numbers" snid he, tive shall
spend $50. 600. We propose constructing a
new metallic circuit of copper wire from
Deer Lodge to Missoula. = distance OF
ninety four miles. We shall put in u new
metallic circuit from Helena to Livingston
via Townsend and Bozeman. This will be
12h miles. h new exchange At Bozsman
will be started mp tomorrow. All circuits
will he connected with Butte and people
here may talk to Missoula or Livingston.
The distance ftom Butte to LivinRston via
Garrison will be 200 miles. The line will
be conside ably improved between Butte
and HelOnn."
Mr.. Mu ray stated that when these extern
sions and improve ments a . completed, the
system will be on the same plan with the
same wire and same instruments that are
now In use on tho long distance line be-
tween New York and Chicago. The latest
improved long distance instruments will be
in use. Tho greatest talking distance ON
the proposed Montana circuit will DO from
Nissouln to Livingston, q distance OF 265
miles.
MIR. Murray has discovered that the
smelter smoke has = very bad effect on the
tele h wire. About four years ago
something like 100 miles of galvanized wire
was constructed in Butte. OF late there
have been frequent breaks, and investiga-
tion shows that the metallic substances in
the smoke HAYS gradually wasted or con-
sumed the wire until at the present time it
is 40 thin as pin. Its original size was
little more than tho thickness of . match.

The One Nenomous Bird.

But one species of bird is
known to the student OF pathological Cd
dities-the Rpir N'Doob. o. bird Of
Death" a feathsred paradox of New Guinea.
1t is not a large MOI formidable looking
creature, As one would naturally expect,
being scarcely as large as 4 common
pigeon, but longer and of n more slender
build. 1t is OF q gray, glossy color. without
any special markings except the tail, which
ends with a blood-rsd tir. The bird is
comparatively helpless, being able to fly
bus a few feet, and 1t can be caught with
out difficulty; however, it ia unnecessary to
saw that its oisorous bite causes the native
Papusns to let it severely alone. Persons
bitten by the creature are seized by mad
deninR pains. which rapidly extend to
every part of the body. Loss of sight,
convulsions and lockjaw are the other
symphonic which follow in rapid succession.
The natives say there is not q case on REQ
ord OF the gu viyal Of the bite. there being
no antidote. death always ensuing within
the abort space of two hours.

KuSsiA and Her Wolves.

What is known in Russia, writes our
Odessa correspondent, as the wolf season
anne with the early autumn and con-
tinues until late in the spring. The last
year for which statistics of the depreda-
tions committed by the wolves are given
are sufficiently remarkable. In one year
alone, according to the data carefully
collected b7 u o~vinoial governors. the total
loss of domestic animals by wolves amount
ed to 500, 900 head. valued at {. 000. 600 rublss,
which is about equal 10 one years wolf tai
revsnue AS al evidence that the number
of wolves does not ap rreoiatsly decreas :.

wolves and bsnrs destroyed in 1875. 49,
head; in 1880. s, 322; in 1855. 5.156, and in

The Cat Saved Them

A Brooklyn family owned a cat they
did not want, and on Christmas day the
head of the family kicked il out of the
house. At an early hour the other mo ming
the son of the family, who earns a living M
n district messenger boy. came home. and
as he opened the door the cat sprang upon
him. He repulsed it's attentions seve al
times, hat it was very persistent, an finally
clawed at his trousers, as though to call his
attention.. 1t started from him and he fol-
lowed. when it ran into the kitchen. There
the boy noticed the smell Of burning wood,
and, on making an vestigation, ouu
that the floor under the stove was on fire.
About the room was . lot OF kindlinQ, some
of it charred. which had been placed under
the stove for use in the morning, anu which
the cat had evidently clawed away in an at.
tempt to put out the fire. Help was called
and the fire was extinpuishsd, but not with
out some difficulty. Tho cat is NO more an
unwsicome resident of that house.
