A NEVADA JOKE.

How wag Played 1t on Innocent Wis
iting Sportsman.
Nothing can be more interesting In
an ordinary way than the fate of praoti-
cal jokers. Shooters and sportsmen gen
orally will appreciate the latest from
Eureka, New. Bent on landing game,
visitor held forth in his hotel with re-
gard to his ability to bring quail to
earth. Among the audience was wag,
who, being sport himself. was DESTROYS
of testing the foreigners ability as a
shot.
1--WE do not shoot quail, :" said he,
1--WE bag them, and if you want to go
out you may do so tonight and see bet
ter fun than any gun can furnish. "
Accordingly the sol disant gamester
journeyed out from small hotel in
Nevada to see the extraordinary plan by
which quail could be ''bagged" at night
time. The party walked two miles into
the hills and arranged trap by laying
down 80 pieces of candle in Y shape
Into this, they explained, 1--WE drive
the quail, and one of us holds sack at
the end of the V, into which the quail
run. -" By a previous arrangement an
argument was commenced as to who
should have the honor of holding the
sack and securing the birds while the
remainder did the hard work of beating
them toward the tap.
When the point was apparently set
tied, one of the party said; ''No, this is
not fair. Mr.. de - is our guest, and
as such is entitled to hold the sack. .
Generously enough, to the boasting
sportsman was given the honor of hold
ing bag bound at the mouth to hoop
SO as to catch the birds. All the others
left to beat up quail. For three hours
the visitor faithfully held that sack, and
when the last candle burned out he
found himself in the midst of lonely
valley, which was full of deserted shafts
and other dangerous holes, two miles
from any house and surrounded by a
darkness which resembles stack OF
black cats. When he arrived at this
hotel and found that his cohunters had
been there enjoying the joke for hours,
he simply went to bed and wept. He
sold his gun next morning and left for

Dress of prontenegrin Women

The dress of the women throughout
Montenegro varies but slightly, and as
no distinction of rank exists the only
difference between the garments OF the
rich and the poorer classes consists In
the superior fineness of the materials
used, or in the quantity or quality OF
the ornaments. Their dress is simply q
long flowing white camicia. girdled by
a black sash. Black and white are the
national colors of the Montenegrins
Some of the women wear a heavy
leathern girdle set with three or -four
rows of large carnelian stones, some
times fastened in front by massive
antique silver clasp A simple piece OF
black cloth is an addition worn on the
head by the older matrons. Montenegro
is everywhere mountainous. AS a pre-
caution against invasion there are nc
roads, and carts are unknown. The
goods of the country are carried to Cat
taro by the women, aided occasionally
by mules. They are knit together In
clans and families and have many feuds
among themselves. The men are armed
even when engaged in agricultural oper-
ations. st. Louis Post Dispatch.

A CUNNING REPTILE.
The Various Clever Devices He Used to I

The Various Clever Devices He Used to Do
oeive His Discoverer.
A correspondent of The Popular Sci
ence News tells the following strange
story:
While searching for snails turned
over an old log and disturbed a snake,
called by our negroes spreading ar
row." The tactics pursued by this
snake were curious.
First he erected his head and neck
and flattened them out till they seemed
no thicker than cardboard, thus increas-
ing his apparent size, as he took care
not to be seen edgewise. The shape OF
his head changed. 1t took pronounced
triangular form-similar to the heads
Of our most vSnomOus snakes. Then his
tail, with the aid Of dry leaf, was
proclaiming that it was the tail Of a
rattlesnake.
All this, coupled with an ominous
hiss, was calculated to strike terror to
the heart of his disturber, as for mo-
ment It did. | regained my courage,
however, and began to poke the serpent
gently with stick, when, finding
"bluster" of no avail. he sought safety
in flight.
Repeated headings off" showed him
how futile were his efforts in that line,
and he altered his tactics again. He
turned on his back and remained mo-
tionless. threw him six feet from the
ground, and SO quickly did he turn over
that he seemed to strike on his back.
Once ON his back, nothing could in
duce him to move Tapping, prodding.
twisting his tail-all were In vain.
Then suspended him from the limb OF
q tree, reiterated little and watched.
At the end of two minutes the reptile
moved Slowly he turned ON his spinal
column IA ON an axis, surveyed the
premises, and seeing nothing dangerous
dropped to the ground and was making
off.
At my approach he died again. After
sundry proddings, which failed to move
him, rewarded him for his oleverness
by giving him the liberty that he cor.
tainly had earned.

MAKING COLTS ~sACR.s
An Old Trainer Gives Instruction On This
suhtec4.

Souycce-
The colt should be Taught from the
first that you are his master and his
friend, and that your intercourse with
him is business and not play. In ell you
do with him avoid excitement-that is.
do not brighten him nor get him angry.
Have definite idea in your own mind
Of what you are going TO do each time
you handle him, and when he has got II
do nothing more with him for thai
time. For instance you wish 10 teaci
him to back, which you can do In Il
minutes If you work In the right way.
Quit as soon as he has learned to do i;
and do not disgust him by backing hin
all over the farm the first lesson MOI
confuse him by trying 10 teach him any
thing else at the same time.
AS the majority Of the western horses
see do not back we'll, conclude horse
men In that section have not given much
attention to It. To teach him, draw the
lines through the lug strap and stand
behind him and little to one side, 50
that when you pull the rein 1t will draw
across his quarter; then give him firm,
strong pull, partly backward and partly
to one side, saying Back" as you do
ii, and instantly let up. The pull should
be about half way between twitch or
jerk and steady pull
If you did 1t right his head went a
little one way and his hind end was
turned little, 80 he was pulled perhaps
one-eighth of the way around Now go
to his head, stroke and cares him, and
if convenient give him from your hand
something he will like to eat. Now
step back and pull him the other way,
starting from loose rein and pulling
just hard enough to pull him around a
little, no matter how little, letting up
at once so as not to have the rein tight
more than half second at a time, say
ing 'Backi'' at the instant you give the
pull He will respond to the pull just
as soon as he learns that the rein loosens
when he yields to IT Now step directly
behind him and pull the same as before,
only use both reins instead of one. New
er tighten the rein on him when he is
backing, but let him understand that ii
will loosen when he backs, and he will
back for you every time
Will all colts learn at once If treated
in this way? can only say that have
trained them for more than 40 years,
and l never have seen one that would
not. Occasionally there is one Of slow
intellect and high temper with which
you should proceed in the same way as
others, only go little slower, so as to
give them time to understand It's
