votes ahead of the average Populist

people were not dissatisfied with the

while at the same time it serves as a
center over which the ''Dutchman' is
to fit just before it is flown. For the
"Dutchman, which is the last thing to
be made, obtain at tinsmith's a sheet
of very thin tin, and cut from it a
square of five inches. From this square
cut the shape as shown in Fig. 3, and
bore a hole in the center OF it large
enough to fit loosely over the end of
the stick above the spool. Around this
hole, and on a line with the blade,
punch with an awl and hammer four
small holes, large enough to fit over
the steel wire nails driven in the top Of
the spool.
The ''Dutchman' will then fit over
the stick and nails and lie fiat on top
of the spool. Now take hold of the
"Dutchman's'' ears and bend each one
slightly by hand, all in the same direc-
ton as shown in the cut, and place the
spool over the end. Around the spool
wind piece of fishline about two feet
long, having at one end a button which
may be taken hold of when pulling the

LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS.
They Know How to Warn One Another of
Danger.

They Know How to Warn One Another of
Danger.
While hunting with rifle for squir-
rels in the heavy timber have at diff
ferent times, says writer in Forest
and Stream, noticed that both birds and
mammals seem to have several ways of
warning others, not only of their own
kind but also of different species, of
the presence of supposed common
enemy. In fact, the practice might be
called the warning system of animated
nature.
AS an illustration, suppose the hun
ter to be going stealthily through the
woods or quietly seated upon a stump
or fallen tree, and while there to be
seen, as he is almost sure to be, by
some of the sharp-eyed little wood
folks. Now suppose the little thing
has before been giving out some notes
or sounds peculiar to its species. All
at once those sounds will be changed
to others having a different cadence
from those at first given, or as the
hunter has discovered the sounds may
quickly cease, or even if the little
thing was quiet before some sharp note
of danger will often take the place of
its stiffness, and other mammals and
birds in the immediate vicinity will
understand the warning and take up
the signals, until nearly every animate
thing for quite distance around will
be appraised of the danger. Then for
awhile they will act with the utmost
discretion until confidence is restored,
when the wood life will resume its
normal ways until some movement of
the hunter again produces the same
phenomenon. How far beyond the
commencing point these danger signals
are kept up or extended one may be
unable to discover, but l should judge
from what | have observed that they
extend in all directions beyond gun
shot distance.
Should anyone, either with or with
out gun, while in the woods where
wild life is plenty, take note of this
system of cautionary cries, he would
find it very interesting and instructive.
Among the causes that lead to the de-
lection by animals of person when
still hunting there is one that he sell
dom or ever thinks about, which is the
effect his shadow has upon them, espe
cially when the sun is low. No matter
how steathily one may be going along
or how carefully he may be concealed
behind tree, or even be seated, his
long tel-tale shadow when lightly

moving may be greater cause of the
non-appearance of game than he is
aware of.
Still another cause, which, of course,
cannot be obviated much, is the APP
pearance of the face and hands in con-
trast with the clothes of the gunner or
with surrounding objects. That often
attracts the attention of animals, but
more especially is their attention at
tracted by the movements of the hands
while manipulating the gun. One cam
not help but notice, should he occasion
ally take look behind him when
quiet in the woods, how near squirrels
and other animals will come up to him
from that direction, while in front he
will see none of them, thus showing
conclusively that the contrast made by
the face and hands with surrounding
objects has more to do with making the
hunt other than a success than many
gunners are aware Of

Homemade Toy Which Is Sure TO Delight
the Children.
Did you ever see a flying Dutchman9
1t is very amusing toy, and simple
one to make. The only materials
aeeded are a spool, piece of stick, four
steel wires, nails and piece of very
thin sheet iron or tin.
To make toy "Dutchman," obtain
an ordinary spool, such as sewing silk
is wound on. 1t will be about an inch
and a quarter high and seven-eighhts of
an inch in diameter. 1t will have a
hole through the center about the
diameter of lead pencil.
Around one end of this spool drive
four slim steel wire nails an equal dis
or cut the heads off so they will appear
like bits of wire. Then obtain a piece
of hard wood stick, about one-half an
inch round or square and six inches
long; with a sharp knife make cut
around the stick one and three-quarter
inches from the end, and from this cut
to the end shave the wood away
evenly and allow the cut to form a sort
of shoulder on which the bottom of the
spool may rest, and the finished end
will appear like Fig. 2.
One-half inch of this wood used
should project above the top of
the spool, as shown in the illustration.
This short end will sometimes prevent
the spool from jumping off the stick,
