A sport which has become popular
with English women has not yet been
taken up by the American women OF
society, says the New York Tribune.
Anglomaniac though she may be-she
does not shoot. She does not feel the
attractions OF the pretty tweed cos
tune which is to be found among the
possessions Of the young English wom-

coat, the knickerbockcrs, the small,
soft hat; she sees - yet no harm in the

The museum Of natural history at
South Kensineton, England, has lately
received the skin of = very handsome
emu, the last Of pair of these strange
Australian birds which had been kept
as pets for more than twenty-five years
by . clergyman of Essex. The death
Of the first bird, . female, left its mate
very desolate. and, a. often happens in
such cases, he sickened and seemed
likely to die.
His mistress carried him dainties to
tempt his appetite, and also . daily jar
Of water. Again and again this jar
disappeared, and the lady was much
incensed against the unknown person
who made himself thus troublesome.
Finally the emu retired to his shed,
folded his long legs and refused utter
~ to come out, until his master, in the
hope that the sunshine might even yet
do him some good, took him up bodily
to carry him out. Then the mystery
was solved. Under the bird were all
the missing gallipots!

he ought to be fulfilling his destiny by

PARNElL WAS SUpERSTiTiOUS.
The T1aining Of an Old Nurse Left .
Lasting Eject ON Him.

A little light is thrown on the some
what mystical character of the late
Mr.. Parncu by some curious stories,
says the Westminster Gazette. A su-
perstitious strain seemed, says Mr..
Healy, to thread its way through the
Irish leaders mind like vein of mar
bic. When he was boy he had an
old nurse, . Mrs. Tuppenny, who
scared him with horrible stories; and
he never got over 1t. He would COM
mence no important business On FRI
day; he started If anyone offered to
help him to salt, and he would drink no
wine at table unless the dccanter came
round from right to left.
These foiblcs affected even the leg
islation he sought to compass. When
he and Maurice Hcaly had together
drafted in Kilmainham iail the amend
ing land bill afterward brought in by
Mr.. Redmond. he discovered that the
final draft contained thirteen clauses
and threw it on the table as IL he had
been stung. This will never do," he
said. sternly; and Mr.. Healy could not
move him. It was late in the after
noon, poet hour approached, and an
other days delay might prevent the
draft reaching the queens printer in
London In time for distribution to
members before the second reading.
A hasty dissection of the bill wss
made, but only to disclose that it

What could be hit upon? There, in

Whenever q cave II newly discovered

first hope is that he has unearthed IN

seldom or never has proved to be the
case. Generally these holes in the
mountains are natural caves in lime
stone or sandstone formations, but
sometimes they lie between walls OF
hard rock, which perhaps contain
mineral deposits, indicating that the
primitive civilized Indiana may have
dug their way in following . soft
streak in search Of tale to use in pot
terry making, with no thought for
precious metals. Stalactites, snowy
white, hang from their roofs, and where
mineral water has percolated these
crystallizations take on gorgeous me-
tallic hues. Human bones are some
times found in these caves and other
evidences of human work or former

southern New Mexico, have been ex-
plored for several hundred feet, and
other large caves in that region remain

CLIMAX OF 4 GREAT EMPIRE.

Great Britain Has Now Probably Reached
the Limit of Her Expansien.
The campaign which is now closing
in the country of the Matabelcs. the
strongest native people in South
Africa, is evidently to end in confirm
ing the sovereignty of England over a
wide region hitherto only nominally
included in the British empire There
may, says the Cleveland Leader, be
q historical interest attached to this
event far wider than any business or
social changes in South Africa can be
felt. 1t is quite possible that the most
extensive empire which the world has
ever known is at its stage Of greatest
expansion. The regions in America,
Asia, Africa, Oceanica and Europe
which are considered British territory
embrace about twelve million two
hundred thousand square miles, or one
fourth of the land surface of globe.
Russia and China together do not pos
sess much larger part Of the earth.
The British empire has been growing
very fast lately by the acquisition of

lively little territory to seize in Africa,
which can fall into the grasp of Eng

draws nearer and nearer when enor-

ter of time. Australia will IS inevi-
tably become independent. That

wise merely a question of years. About
eight million square miles of land and
lakes and arms of the sea are slowly
slipping from under the paws of the
British lion. India, too, will go some
day, but that loss will probably come
much farther in the future. Whatever
great changes there may be in the

INDUCING INDIANS 70 MARRY.

The Indian CSmnlssi0aer's 6chomo Tor
Perpetuating tho Indian Race.
The commissioner of Indian affairs,
Mr.. Browning, is determined to prove
to the Indians that marriage is not =
failure. He has discovered that most
of the red men under the bureau at the
present time have been induced. to
believe that it is not the proper thing
to get married, and for this reason, in
the mind of the commissioner, the
numbers of the red men are decreasing
fast. It is not certain but that the
commissioner, in the interest of pre-
serving his bureau, was forced to give
some study and attention to the matter
OF matchmaking among the people.
The commissioner has labored over
this matter very industriously, and, ac-
cording to the Kansas City Journ al, he
has evolved = scheme. He proposes to
prove to them that they can get in Ia
vor with the great father if they will
join in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The scheme is 4 novel one, and it is
the opinion of the commissioner that
very soon the leading duties of the
Indian agent will be to act as remarry-
ing agent for his colony. The reward
for getting married is . striking mar
riage certificate. It starts with .
heavy sheet of paper with a red Dor
der. Much is expected of this red bor-
der. Then the Omitted States Of
America" is in blue, while the "Our
Glorious Eagle has not the savage
look, but sort Of wedding-day smile,
and the "E pluribus unum" and the
American flag are displayed with an
intensity that would be cheap at any
price. The eagle presides over mar
riage certificate in the usual form. The
agents are to be instructed to make an
exhibit of the scheme, and to use their
influence in getting the Indians to
come to the conclusion that they will
be out of luck if they refuse to get mar
ried. The agents are to show the
certificates, which have been prepared
with the hope that they would have
the catchy" appearance, and to pos
sess one would be the ambition of the
average Indian. and this would last
him until after the ceremony was per-
formed. by the fash of the certificate
it is hoped to prove that marriage is .

Bruin was knowirg and Bold.

''When 1 was in the Yellowstone park last summer" said a Wyoming valley man, ''one of the gamekeepers told me about a bear that worried a camp of government soldiers almost to desperation for several weeks Late one night bear waddled into camp, ripped open tent, put the soldiers to flight, got what he wanted to eat, and went away. The next night the bear came around again, smashed down tent and stole a smoked ham, Under the park rules the soldiers were prohibited from firing at the thievish brute, as we'll as from jabbing a bay onet into him, and the only thing they could do when the bear appeared and went to helping himself to rations was to get out of his way. Night after night the bold beast made raid on the camp and ruined tent or two. Ny informant said that the bear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't fire on him, and that on each visit he became more saucy and destructive than before. When the bears raids had become unbearable the command ant sent the facts to the secretary of the interior and asked what to do. Word came back to shoot the bear, and that night, when Bruin strode boldly into camp, the soldiers put an end to his career by riddling him with bull lets, ,"-N. Y. Sun.

Temperature of Swiss Forests.

For twenty years the Swiss govern ment has been making observations through it's forestry stations on the temperature of the air, of the trees and the soil in the forests. These observa- tions show that the temperature in the forests is always below the tempera- ture outside. The temperature also varies according to the trees composing the forests. A beech forest is always cooler than forest of larch. As to the trunks of the trees, they are always cooler than the surrounding air. Regarding the temperature of the soil, it is found that in the forest the temperature is invariably below that of the air. Outside tie forest the soil is always warmer than the air in sum- mer and colder in winter.

Fish as 8 Fertilizer.

It was a novel object lesson on the effects of stimulants that New Yorker sojourning in Maine last summer dis covered Beside the house where he boarded was 6 field that had once been cultivated, but now was as barren as Sahara. ''What is the matter with the ls,,1 .l,e.4 t1, :,e-----;1l .. ','' he asked the fisherman, his host. ''Fish did it." was the laconic answer.
 "How?" "Why, it was manured with fish. You know farmers near the sea- shore use porgies, dogfsh, and other fish worthless to eat to fertilize the land. And don't the fish just make the crops grow for few seasons! Look at that patch now. For years it yielded the finest corn, potatoes and garden sass you ever heard of. You see the fish acts on land just as alco- hol acts on man. It stimulates it up to the highest notch, and as long as there is any productive power left in the soil it goes into the crops. But there came the time when that field gave out all at once, and all the fish you could heap on it wouldn't make it bear so much as weeds or grass. The only thing is to let it lie failow until the soil gains strength by rest. Farm CTS round the seashore have found out that though fish fertilizers give them tempting crops to start with, they must be handled as carefully as man ought to handle rum or brandy.",'

Burning Mountains of South and Central
 America That Do Deadly Work.


 Burning Mountains of South and Central America That Do Deadly Work.
 The volcano Of Abina, in Peru, which for century and half had been con sidered extinct, suddenly, awol1e from its long sleep the other day and began pouring forth lava, smoke and ashes ii. such quantities as to obscure the sun up to the date of the last report. says Panama correspondent of the Phila delphia Press.
 Together with this news comes an account of remarkably severe earth quakes in Ecuador that shook the whole Pacific slope and extended far into the interior. A series of rapid, violent shocks continued one minute and some seconds. It created the greatest terror in Guayaquil, where at every convuls- it appeared as though the pile-built structures must go over. However, no damage to speak of oe- cured there, but several accounts of disasters had arrived from the in terior. At Canar seven families and their homes are known to have been swallowed up by the earth. One cu- rious incident at Guayaquil was the bursting open of the doors of the peni- tentiary. Many convicts escaped be- fore the demoralized guards could pull themselves together to prevent it. Then the guards fired indiscriminately on the prisoners, those fleeing from crumbling walls as well as those es- caping. The city waterworks were so damaged that a water famine was inn minent. This series of shocks was felt over an area of eighty thousand square miles. At almost the same time Coto- paxi and Turgurahua burst forth in such a terrible activity as has not characterized them during the last two centuries. The South American volcanoes frequently ravage their i'm mediate neighborhood, but it is be- ieved here is another instance that they are safety valves that render the continent habitable.
 Reports of unusual volcanic activity all along the line of the continental backbone have been coming in since the beginning of the year, and those more recently to hand indicate a steadily increasing disturbance. Alarm ing accounts arrived last week from Mexico of the condition of Colima, which, pouring forth vast volumes of lava and regular bom- bardment of rocks and ashes, had sent the people of Jalisco fleeing in terror from their houses. Only few months ago dispatches from Chili and Peru told of fierce outbursts among the volcanoes of the southern Andes, and, later yet, of the seismic disturbance in the volcanic region of Cauca, in Colombia, by which an entire mountain ridge was swallowed up and deep de- pression left, while elsewhere in that same region two rivers were buried by the side of mountain tumbling into the valley.
