Count DIES Carrots, a grandnephew of La
fayette, who is now hunting in the Rocky
Mountains, told. the other day, something
about his fayorite sport of wolf hunting,
for which he has become famous in Russia.
'Wolf hunting he said, sis probably the
most dangerous sport there is, With a
ervtnt and a couple of fast horses at
tached to a sleigh, | have gone out and
baited the ground for the brutes on numer-
Gus occasions. A fat hog tied to a tree new
cr failed to collect a pack. The trouble
was that it drew too many. The wolves
would gather to the number of 200 or 300
and devOur the pig. Then we would dash
upon the scene and the fun would com
mence. They are as fleet as deer. To
say they are as fleet as wolves would be
more like it. They can outrun the horses
every time, and if they are not picked off
as fast as they come up, you might as well
give up the fight and permit yourself to be
devOured. Imagine yourself making a run
ming tigh. with a band of 800 hungry,
maddened wolves, and with the knowledge
that if one of the fleet little brutes reaches
your horses you are a dead man, and You
can possibly imagine what Merry sport il
is. 1t requires cool head and good eye.
If You miss your mark you're gone. Your
only chance of safety is in keeping your
horses up. 1t is generally a long fight.
You look back and see the carcasses of the
animals dotting the snow for a mile or two
in your wake, and still they pursue you in
great numbers. Slowly the pack thins out.
Many have dropped bleeding to the ground.
Others stop to devour the carcasses. The
more that fall the more timd the rest be
come. When you finally outdistance the
pack you have been through the most try
ing ordeal that the mos. ardent sportsman
could wish. Yes, | consider wolf hunting
the most dangerous sport there is. Tiger
hunting in India is tame beside it. If you
80 into the jungles of India to shoot a til
ger you are accompanied by long retinue.
You shoot your prey from the howdan of
an elephant. If you miss you victim there
are 20 bullets ready for him before he
springs. A person might as well 90 tiger
hunting in menagere. The only unsat-
isfactory part of the sport which wolves af-
ford is that after you are all through you
haven't anything to show for your efforts.
But it is great sport

we're present from Dover, where the alleged
offence was committed. The evidence of
the state tended 10 show that the respond
ent broke windows in the school building
at East Dover by means of stones hurled
thereat. The evidence was merely circum-
slantial, and it appeared that several 9th
ers might have done the mischief as well
as the respondent. When the state had
rested its case the judge directed a YER
dict of not guilty to be returned, which
was accordingly done. States Attorney
Allbee and Davenport for the state; Fits
and Martin for the respondent.
state rs. Edrdrd c. Cirke-This was
an indictment for adultery with one Ida
Spring. The evidence of the state tended
to show that the respondent was married
man, and the said Ida Spring was a married
woman; that they put up at the Windham
County house in Newfane and also at Fish
er's hotel in Williamsville, and were as
signed to one room at each place; that they
remained there together during the night
SO far as the hotel proprietors knew sup
posing that the parties were man and wife.
After the evidence of the state was all in
and had rested, the court suggested that
the prosecution had failed to prove the act
of adultery charged in the indictment;
that under the law of evidence in such
cases the opportunity to commit the act
was not that full measure of proof that the
law required in criminal causes, and there
upon directed a verdict of not guilty for
the respondent. States Attorney Allbee
and Waterman for the state; j. G. Martin
for the defendant,
This was the last jury case tried The
Indictment against Ada Spring for adultery
was then mol pressed, as were several
others.
The court, since that time, has been Oc-
cupied in hearing cases submitted upon
the report of referees, special masters,
commissioners, etc, and the hearing of
divorce cases. Up to Thursday noon,
when this report was written, divorces had
been granted as follows: William II. Eddy
from Sarah A. Eddy, Winnifred F. Lam
son from Leland l.. Lamson, Mary G. At

WHAT TO DRINK.


BY Evelyne Darling Loudon.
At first thought it seems rather
strange that with the world so well
supplied with water as it is for the
most part, we should still ask, What
shall we drink? And yet it cannot
be without significance that the
question has been asked so long.
To be sure, tea, coffee, chocolate,
ETC., all have advocates, and learned
ones, and still there is great mass
of solid argument against anything
beyond their occasional use.
However all this may be, one
direction is certainly good. We
should chew our food thoroughly
and drink little, If at all, while eating.
Very likely II horse were to leave
his oats every few minutes to take a
drink of water, he would soon
develop dyspepsia.
Some summers ago, a company OF
pleasant people arranged to dine
together each day at one O'Clock
They met at about noon or little
thereafter and each drank a large
glass or more of lemonade, not mad,
sweet. 1t was made of boiled water
allowed to cool by placing the pitche
containing it in cold water for SOM
time, but never iced. When the!
wanted change, they used unfer

THE COUNTRY TEA CHER.


From DOnahoe's Magazine.
Take the average of the pay given
in too many cases, to
our teachers, female and male alike,
in the purely country districts of the
United States and Canada and see
how beggarly and small for the SER
vices rendered it appears. Go into
the boarding houses of those same
teachers and see how poor and i'll
fitted for supporting mental work is
the fare afforded and then show me
greater heroines in their spherei
Where the salary paid is so uniformly
wretched, tits hard to pay large board
bills.
So from Monday to Saturday the
patient instructress works and spends
herself for the "rising generation"
and Sunday sees her pale and wan
from lassitude and headaches, glad
to find rest in religious solace, if she
be not obliged indeed to spend the
holy day, or a great part of it, in
calming the passions and striving to
arrange the ceaseless quarrels and
jealousies of that most restless and
tantalizing of all societies-a country
choir.
Honor to the district school, but
honor more to the patient school
mistress-to the sacrificing, gentle,
yet firm and respecting maidens who
take up the teachers role, and in
the midst of trials unnumbered, Of
privations without end, of discour-
agements of all kinds, stick to their
posts, and make our youths of day
fit subjects for the cares and respon-
sibilities of the future. With few, if
any, of the appointments of the
modern classroom; they are yet
doing grand work, doing it conscien-
tiously and successfully.

EYER IN I'LL HEALTH.

From the Sunday School Times.
Sometimes it is i'll health that
appears to make it impossible to live
grandly, at least to do much in the
world. But this is not an insuperable
barrier. Many people who have
been invalids all their life have grown
into rare sweetness of spirit, and
have lived in the world in way to
make it better, and to leave infiu-
ences of blessing behind them when
they went away. Many "shut in"
has made a narrow room and
chamber of pain the center of heav-
enly life, whose benedictions have
gone far and wide. At least, there
is no condition of health in which
one cannot live victoriously in ones
spirit, if not physically. One can be
brave, cheerful, accepting ones
limitations, praising God in sickness
and in pain, sure always that what
God wills is best, and that he who
sings his little song of JOY and praise
in his prison is pleasing God and
blessing the world.

mented grape juice, or some other
fruit juice, kept sealed in glass Jars
or bottles, and used with a little
water added.
To this method of drinking three>
quarters of an hour before eating,
the members of this little company
were wont to attribute their good
health. They drank nothing during
dinner, nor afterward until within
an hour or two of supper. No doubt
the cheerful companionship, the
hearty laughs and the consciousness
of kindly surroundings, had large
shade, also, in the happy results.
There is often as much need of
boiling water before using as OF
boiling milk. If there is the slightest
reason to fear, from wells or other
causes, that water is not pure enough
to be safely used, it should be we'll
boiled. Boiled water, slipped while
still hot, is a valuable help in many
cases of illness, whether the trouble
be chronic or acute.
For those who go home from work
tired and nervous, it is well to sip
cup of hot water and then lie down a
half f-hour or SO before eating; and
for those at home who are tired and
nervous the same direction is good.
There is often great help in taking
hot water before breakfast.
Iced foods and drinks, although
pleasant to the taste and very fash
ionable, are still, for well people,
unphysiological. AS to the harmful
ness of tea and coffee, the method of
preparation il able to exert some
mitigating force. If they must be
used, they should not be boiled, but
brought to the boiling point, kept
there a few moments, and then
served.

Of easy, polished manners, have
been doing the "lighting- rod" act in
the vicinity of Crutcher, country
postoffice nine miles northeast of
Sweet Springs. Their victims and
plan Of operations are just coming to
the knowledge Of the public, though
1t has been about three weeks since
they were in the locality named.
There is nothing new in their plan,
but they succeeded in "taking inn a
number Of farmers.
The agent first calls upon the
farmer, informs him of the nature of
his business, and as an inducement,
offers to rod his house or barn, as
the case may be, for a mere nominal
sum, for it's effect in securing other
business. He finally produces n
printed contract In which q much
higher rate is named, but he tells
the farmer that makes no difference,
that the settlement will be for the
small sum named. The contract is
signed and the agent departs and
obtains the same kind Of contract
from any one, all being given special
rates to induce the business.
In few days a wagon drives up
and a couple of men go right to
work and put up rods under the
contract, which they produce. AS
soon as the work is done they fill up
note for the rods at rs or 80 cents
a foot instead OF 10 cents foot as
the verbal agreement was, and the
farm er finds his bill large one, and
on examining the contract he signed
he finds that it is expressly agreed
that no verbal agreement shall be
binding on the company.
J. III. Harbold, one Of the victims,
was compelled to execute a note for
$50 on contract which he thought
was $3.50. Lewis Roscher, a neigh
Dor, was in like manner forced to
sign a note for $21O, and John Van
buskirk for $75.

INFL LUENCES THAT MOULD.

From Harpers' Bazaar.
1t is often problem with parents
whether il is better to save for the
children or to spend for them |;
whether the wiser way is to live very
frugally and plainly, keeping a
watchful eye on every expenditure
in order that a fortune may accrue
by the time the little ones are grown,
that land may be added to land and
house to house, SO that the father,
when it comes to making his last
will and testament, may have some
thing to leave and distribute among
his heirs, or, on the other hand,
whether judicious investment of
means all the way on is not really
the better thing for the children.
In the one case lessons of self
denial and thrift are certainly in
stilled-the boys and girls learn the
value of money; sometimes they
learn to look upon money as the
only good rather than as the means
to an end. In the other case they
are surrounded by beautiful things
during the period when impressions
are most readily taken, and when
character is moulded, and the style
of the future man and woman formed
for life.
One thing may be set down as alb
solute, without exception: there is
is not only folly, but lack of integ-
rity, in deliberately living beyond
ones means, and children who are
brought up in home where they
see little care for the payment of
just debts promptly and fully are in
great danger of becoming themselves
dishonest. Granting, however, that
the parents have sufficient income
to pay their way without too much
anxiety, it would seem that the
truer economy of life would be to
spend freely rather than grudgingly.
A beautiful environment helps to
mould character. Children who
grow up in a home in viii; ii they are
used to elegance and refinement alb
sorb these qualities from the atmos-
phere. If the mother has sufficient
help in doing her work to enable her
to give much of herself to the child
rem, the children are the gamers.
Contact with pictures and books is
in itself elevating. 1t is a good
thing to live in a house where books
abound, even if one does little more
than become familiar with their
bindings, and the chances are that in
house where books multiply there
will be a good deal of household
reading. Every fine engraving helps
to form the child's love of art.
Music and musical instruments assist
in producing that gentleness and
sweetness which 60 far to oil the
machinery Of living.
Upon the whole they are wise who
discount the future and SOW largely
and literally in the sunshiny present.
Whatever may be taken from child
rem amid the chances and changes
the years may bring, the pleasures
which are freely given them while
they are growing up become part
and parcel of life and thought, and
never can be taken away.
