hunting you may name, and know
many an old boy like me who thinks
just the same. The one thing needful
in coon hunt is good dog. The
trail of the coon is the coolest of anv
known game animal. A dog with the
finest kind of nose, an intelligence
beyond the ordinary, and training for
his work, is necessary to follow this
trail successfully. Besides its difficult
trail the coon has many tricks to con.
fuse both hunter and dog. 1t will fire.
quentlY run up tree few feet and
jump from it in another direction as
far as possible and thence take devi-
GUS course. This ruse never fails to
Throw the best of dogs off, and by the
time the trail is found again, if it is
found at all, the coon has put miles be-
tween him and danger.
When coon is brought to tree the
trained dog announces the fact in an
entirely different voice from the cry he
utters when on the, trail. Some dogs
do not cry at all while on the chase,
reserving their voices until such time
as the game is freed. A gun is an en-
tirely unnecessary part of coon hunt
er's equipment. When the hunters
come up to the tree the most agile
of the party shins up it and shakes
the coon out. This is not al
ways an easy thing to do, and next
to the fight that is expected to follow
between the coon and the dogs when
the former drops to the ground, is the
most exciting episode of the hunt.
Some coon hunters carry guns, but
only on moonlit nights, when the
! caves have fallen from the trees The
I>-=ecitiSig moment for these hunters is
when they discover the coon crouch
ing on limb, and brought into dis
tinct outline between them and the
moon. A coon is always on the alert.

The coon is a monomaniac on the
subject of water. The first thing,
when one starts out of an evening, it
makes for the nearest running water
and drinks and bathes preparatory to
its foraging expedition and fun. Con-
sequently the coon should be hunted
for in the vicinity of streams or ponds,
especially early in the season.-N. Y.

A COREAN GENERAL.
An OtifciaI Who Parades With Great Pomp
and Ceremony.

1t appears to be a serious breach of
the streets without a befitting es-
cort, which increases in number and
variety according to the military rank
he occupies. One day | saw a general
proceeding to the royal palace, and no
more curious sight can be imagined.
The procession was headed by two sol
diers bearing poles with square boards
fastened to their tops. On these We're
inscribed in Corean letters the words
"Silence" and Keep out of the way"
which commands, supported by the
shouting of the soldiers. were respect
fully obeyed by the bystanders. Riders
on horseback dismounted until the en-
tire procession had passed.
Following the pole bearer an official
marched in the middle of the street
carrying a large portfolio with the Wis
iting cards of the general. These cards
2rs usually of bright red color, about
foot long and half foot wide. Another
soldier carried a small camp stool.
third a pair of high felt boots. Then
came about Il dozen soldiers, armed
with rifles and bayonets. and marching
in Indian file on either side of the
street, keeping it clear for the general,
who now followed. He was mounted on
splendidly caparisoned pony, led by
two grooms dressed in long yellow robes.
The general himself, a man of about
fifty with huge round spectacles. car
ried with his right hand a small yellow
flag, with the word general inscribed
in Chinese letters. A small Chinese
sword was sticking in his red belt.
With his left hand his eXcellency was
tanning himself. He was accompanied
by his aid-de-camp, also riding pony,
and followed by crowd of attendants
carrying all sorts of articles, making a
perfect camping outfit. One soldier
was the bearer of the generals pipe,
another of his tobacco pouch, third of
his waterproofs, made of yellow oil
paper: another man carried a hat of
the same material; next came the
bearer of the generals umbrella,
huge thing of oil paper, the principal
evidence of his high dignity, only al
lowed to mandarins above the third

Yet look again, sweet maid, and sigh no

With red and gold the bowers OF autumn

Russell and crimson deck the treetops still
And gayly paint the tendrils of the vine;
The wee. brown sparrows twitter, chirp and

And glorious sunsets light the western sky.

INDlGESTiBLE TEA.
Tepid Fluid Conduces to Neuralgia, Dys.

pepsia and Ruined Complexion.
Tea drinking as habit is very much
on the increase throughout the coun-
try, and women who have fallen into
the way of taking a cup three or four
times day would do well to be warned
in time against its insidious influence.
Two cups of good tea is all the average
feminine system can readily asSimilate
in twenty-four hours, and the usual re-
suits to the woman of over sociability
in her dainty cups is apt to take the
form of neuralgia and common dyspep-
STA that Injuries the best complexion.
In extreme cases very frequent among
women of the lower classes in England
and Ireland, where thousands of pounds
of very inferior grades of tea are al
ways boiled long and hard before con-
sidered fit for drinking, effects as seri-
GUS as from alcoholism have been dis
covered recently. and yet the medical
commissioners who inquired into this
lamentable state of affairs contend that
tea as steady tipple would be robbed
of half its ugly effects if always prop
erly brewed and drunk hot. with very
little sugar. 1t is more digestible. too
without any milk or cream, and the
whole secret Of its proper making lies
in never permitting the boiling water
more than an instant's contact with the
leaves. Nothing, if women only knew
it, is more indigestible than the cups of
tepid, over sweet fluid they sip at con-
tentedly during half-dozcu receptions
of an afternoon in winter, that. shame
be it to hostesses, is too often the only
refreshment they otfer.-N. y. sun.

HUNTING THE SEA LION.
Herds of Them Driven for Miles to til
Strengthening Ground.

Herds of Them Driven for Miles to the
Strengthening Ground.
At the close of the fur-seal-killing
season, the natives proceed to lay in
their winters supply of meat. a num-
Der of picked men go to Northeast
Point, steal down to the shore in the
dead of night and crawl along at the
waters edge until line of men is dis
posed between the sleeping herd and
the water. At a given signal the
men all spring to their feet, yell, dis
charge pistols, and terribly Brighten
the sleeping sea lions. Those that lie
with their heads toward the water
plunge forward and quickly disappear,
but those headed landward ma ,urally
enough start forward away from the
uproar. Being continually urged on,
they soon find themselves fairly in
land, with all chance of escape cut off.
The groups of from twenty to fifty
caught thus each night are driven up
on to the level ground, and held until
from three to five hundrea have been
taken, when the grand drive begins.
Then the whole herd is actually driven
ten miles overland to the village. Ac-
cording to the condition of the weather,
the drive requires from six days to
three weeks. but in the end every sea
lion who does not die Of heat or cX-
haustion on the road actually carries
his own carcass to market.
This animal yields about the same
class of products as does the walrus,
and its flesh forms the principal food of
all the natives of the fur-seal islands.
The skin is thiclllv covered with coarse
stiff hair of a brownish-yellow color,
but it is destitute of fur and hence
is of no value ii our market.
Steller's sea lion is about twice the
size of the fur seal. the old male being
from ten to eleven feet in total length,
from eight to nine feet in girth, and it
weighs on an average about 1,9OO
pounds The females are not quite
half as large in actual bulk, as the
males. Although coWardly in their
disposition toward man, the males are
among themselves the tierccSt fighters

crossed all over by long, deep gashes,
or old scars, made by the powerful
teeth of Jealous rivals.-St. Nicholas.

A WHITE man on trial for outragng
a grown woman in Illinois was run ont
of the court house last Tuesday by q
Gang ofunmasked lynchers, who caught
him and beat, kicked and stamped
him to death. The Northern press pass
es the crime by as simple news item.
But when a brutal negro is taken out
of an insecure jail in the South and
hanged for outraging white female
children and then numbering them,
by men with such respect for
the law that they mask them
selves and commit their crime
in the night, the press referred to opens
wide its mouth and makes the circum'
ambient air resound with its howls
about the savage barbarity of the whole
Southern people. The North is blind
to its own defects, but kcenly alive to
those Of the South. 1t always was, and
always will be so.

Tho Tariff Bill.

A consideration of the tariff bill,
which was begun by the Senate in the
committee of the whole on April ,, was
at last completed yesterday, and the
bill was fayorably reported to the Sen
ate as amended at 6 o'clock yesterday
evening. The action was taken as with
out division, being matter of rou-
tine, when, in response to the invita-
ton of the Vice President, no more
amendments were offered in commit
tee. As matter of fact, there are
quite number Of important amend
ments still to be considered, but so
anxious were the managers of the bill
TO have the measure reported that they
urged all Senators to agree that further
changes be considered in the Senate
This request was agreed to without
friction, and then an adjournment was
taken until Monday, when the bill, as
it has been amended, will have been
printed and ready for its final consider
alton.
The main feature of the day was the
debate on the section providing for the
repeal of the reciprocity provision Of
the Mckinley law. This section was
amended so as to provide continuation
of the existing reciprocity arrange
ments, except where inconsistent with
other provisions of the bill.
An attempt was made by Mr.. Pefler
to bave new section added imposing
tax OF $50 on all immigrants coming
to the United States, but there was a
general indisposition to place immigra-
ton legislation in the tariff bill, and it
was voted down, as was an amendment
of Mr.. Gallinger looking to compelling
trade concessions from Canada. Before
the bill was reported series of minor
amendments, to which there was no
objection, were offered by Mr.. Jones
and agreed to.
The democratic and republican lead
ers in the Senate have made an agree
ment to vote upon the final passage of
the tariff bill Tuesday next.
Chairman Wilson, of the House of
Representatives ways and means COM
mittee, is expected to make a fight
against the protective features of the
Senate tariff bill when the measure is
sent to the conference committee.
