A Circle Hunt for Wolves.

CHAMBERLAIN, ). d., Sept. g.
The Fort Pierre Fairplay makes a
timely proposition, and one that is
meeting with the approval of stockmen
generally. IL Is that all the stockmen
having ranges between the White and
Cheyenne rivers engage in n wolf
roundup some time this fall after the
regular work OF the ranges is com
pleted. Many townspeople would par
ticipete in such an undertaking and
would be- pleased to assist in de-
stroying these destructive pests.
IL is considered of vital an
portance hat the wolves be thinned
out before the next calf and colt crop.
From the Cheyenne. Bad and White
river ranges come the well substanti-
ated statements that wolves are the
most disastrous obstacles the stock
men have TO contend with. A remedy
must be supplied TO prevent their de-
predations and the only successful one
il is thought is TO put good hounds af-
ter them or exterminate them by
shooting. 1t is believed that a large
body OF men on horseback. with the
assistance of hounds, could make IA
visible decrease in the number of
wolves within a few weeks time.

THE MIRANDA PASSENGERS.
Story of tho Loss of tho III Fsted steam
ship.


ship.
NORTH SYDNEY, n. b., Sept. 5.-The
fishing schooner Rigel of Gloucester,
Mass. Captain George w. Dixon. ar
rived here this morning with the pas
sengers and crew of the III fated steam
ship Miranda. which left New York
July z carrying DR.. Cooks Arctic expe-
dition. The Miranda struck a sunken
rock outside the harbor of Skukker
Toppan on August o. There was a
heavy wind and sea prevailing OF the
time and a large hole was stove in her
bottom A relief party set ont from
Skukker Toppan to H~olstenberg. four-
teen miles distant, with five Esquimaux
In an open sail boat for assistance. The
schooner Rigel by chance was met
with. Captain Dixon generously re-
sponded TO the appeal of the explorers
and returned to skukker Toppan with
the Miranda party. Captain Dixon and
his company arranged with Captain
Farrall that his company should pay
$4,000 for carrying the passengers
home. The passengers and food were
transferred to the Rigel and the Mi
randa then started for Labra-
dor with the Rieel in tow.
On August 90 Captain Dixon
was obliged to abandon the
Miranda and she was left to her fate.
NIncty-one persons were crowded into
the cabin and hold of the schooner.
Two meals a day were allowed to all.
Fogs, head winds and light winds de-
layed the progress of the vessel north.
A western gale was encountered in the
southwest straits OF Belle Isle. All
arrived here well. Hardly any of the
baggage or property was saved from
the Miranda.

vNoAunrEp BY POLAR COLD.
Tho Pursuit. Of Food Tempts Birds "a
Brave tho Most Rigorous Climate.

In the countries bordering on the
polar sea where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes of
dearth and plenty birds are more nu-
merons In The short summer than any,
where else all the world over and in
winter are absent altogether. All are
immigrants there by force of circum-
stances. in like manner the birds of
temperate climates are affected by the
seasonal changes. though in a less de-
gree, through the influence of cold and
heat upon their food supplies, rather
than by effect of cold upon their well
protected bodies.
According 10 Littell's Lining Aqe. a
coat OF mail Is not TO he compared TO n
coat OF feathers for safety, so far az n
birds life is concerned. LAYER upon
layer of feathers can withstand anv
amount OF water or any degree Of cold.
In proof Of this. see how the delicate
tern, after wintering in comparatively
mild weather. 90 back to the ice foes
of the polar sea and lay their eggs on
the bare ice. For two or three weeks
the tender breast of the sea swallow ia
pressed against n cold block of ice.
Again. as another example of the influ-
ence OF food rather than climate in gov
erning bird action. take the colony of
bcccahcos. The beccaiico is a Mcditer-
ranean btd common on the southern
shores OF Spain and Italy. in the Gre
clan islands, Sicily and Malta. and on
the northern shores of Africa. Formerly
1t was quite unknown in the British
isles, but some years ago a large or
chard OF fig trees was planted near
Brighton. and the beccaficos have dis
covered the fact and come over TO share
the spoil. Doubtless the nightingales
told them the story Of English FIGS and
showed them the way over. BE this as
IL may, the little birds from the warm
shores of the Mediterranean bid fair to
become established as naturaiized brit.
ish subjects.

The conversation took place at n tabs
in a restaurant withiu eagshot OF hai a
dozen people. SO II Is 20 le presumed
that it is not TO be considered psTTicu-
larry sacred. The womaD in the brown
dress had evidently just come in from
Denver; the one in black had met her
at the depot. There Was III animated
description Of the details OF the journey;
what time she started, how tired she
got, what n terrible draft there was, and
so forth, interspersed with EXPLANATIONS
of sympathy from her nearer. Then
she leaned forward ard asked with
more than ordinary interest:
Have you seen George since?'
Her companions face took on an ex-
preston that seemed to betoken resig-
nation TO all the evils the human race is
destined 10 come in contact with.
"Yes, twice. she answered.
"And the children
NO, | haven't seen them"
Nor his wife?'
NO; but they say she is quite pretty
and sensible. too"
The woman in brown sighed.
Il never heard a word of it till about
a week ago. You can't imagine what
a shock il gave ME He was married

Yes, just a month after you were"
She sighed again. I'D like to see
the children, but I'm afraid | couldn't
bear it. 1t makes no difference how
good Georges new wife is, she won't
be like an own mother to the poor little
things. It's against all reason, you
know that"
The woman in black admitted that
the argument was indisputable.
And I'd never feel right again" the
speaker continued. apparently giving
her conscience a few affectionate little
pats and lulling it to rest. when l
left George I'd have tried to get the
children for myself. but you see | had
