we live on hunting trip. Here IS
everything we need-all OF our sad
dies, guns, furs and cots. I sleep here
just as I do at camp, and when the
door is closed can imagine myself in
the wilds of the North. Now and
then you hear the honk Of Canadian
wild goose just outside on the lagoon,
and some have built their nests right
back of this camp near the water.
Then there are the gulls and different
wild ducks. These all add to the de-

such places where the cut ends are ex-

coverings are used. No glass is to be
seen. Light it had from fine tissue

ing highly lacquered in black. O.aly a
peep is as yet to be obtained of the in
terror, but this discloses many won
derful things. Fine mattings are used
in the finish, and many bronzes and
delicate carvings, highly colored, are
shown about the rooms.
From the temple runs a winding
path, which first leads close to the
water; and here, among the reeds and
low willows, is heard the great pelican
as he catches his dinner of fish with
his long bill and pouch. Then the
path winds out among trees, gathered
from all parts of the world.
A gentle, white-haired lady, who has
strayed away from her younger COM
panions, is making a study of the new
varieties of flowers. She carefully
watches the gardener as he ties up the
tender stalks to their supports and
then passes on and takes it upon her
self to arrange and replace some OF the
plants that have been blown astray.
The path now passes the flower nurs-
cry, with its thousands of bulbs set out
to be transplated about the grounds.
It then leads into dense and almost
wild wood. And just ahead, short
distance from the trail, is an old, de-
serted bark hut used by the hunter in
the north.
Just across from this is typical
hunters camp used in the Northwest.
The old canvas-covered wagon is just
outside, and the horses may be graz

he goes at night, pit is dug, twelve
or fifteen feet square, sixteen or eigh-
teen feet deep, and sloping 30 that the
bottom will measure about eighteen
feet square. This pit is dug during
the daytime when the tiger is asleep,
and every particle of that dirt is care
fully carried away by hand. The
tigers sense of smell is very acute, and
not the smallest quantity of fresh dirt
must be found near the pit, which is
covered with branches and leaves.
Over this tripod is erected from which
is suspended a live goat. At night,
when the tiger comes forth and nears
this spot, he sneaks up to a GER
tain distance and then, as is his fash
ion, springs upon his prey. He falls
into the pit, from which he makes the
most frantic but unsuccessful efforts to
escape. In few days his strength
is exhausted.
In the meantime the natives have
built bamboo cage which is let down
over him, aud afterward big pieces of
rattan are gradually worked under him
to make the captivity complete. By
the time this last operation is per
formed the tiger is nearly dead from
exhaustion, covered with blood, foam,
dirt and altogether very miserable. An
immense tiger, which I sold and which
is at present with large travelling
show, captured last June, is a man
eater. Three months before his capture
he had eaten a woman and child, and
on this account wereceived$100 bounty
from the Government where we caught
him. Leopards are captured in the
same way as tigers.-New York Press.

Prairies Fired by Lightning.

: A bolt of lightning set fire to the dry
prairie grass in Hodgemen County,
Kansas, few days ago. A heavy elec-
trio storm came up and the heavens
were ablaze with lightning. The
country was as dry as tinder, and a
sea of dry prairie grass extended for
miles. The lightning struck the earth,
boring hole in the ground six feet
deep, and setting the grass on fire.
There was high wind, and before the
rain, which followed, could extinguish
the fire it completely devastated tract
of country five miles wide by ten long,
destroying fences, barns and farm
houses. The occupants of the houses
only escaped with their lives by taking
refuge in their "cyclone pits, which
are dug out in the earth and covered
with dirt. A large number OF horses
and cattle perished in the fames.-

The Mustache Originated in Spain.

The home of the mustache is in
Spain and here is the history OF its
origin: After the Moors first invaded
the Christian and Moslem population
became so mixed that it was difficult
to say which we're Moors and which
Spaniards. The Spaniards then hit
upon means by which they could at
once distinguish their brethren. They
did not shave their lips any longer and
they allowed tuft of hair to grow be-
low their under lips, so that their
boards formed the rude outline OF a
cross. Thus the mustache became a
symbol of liberty and fraternity. --
