What the Early Dutch settlers In Afric'
Enjoyed by Way OF Game.

What the Early Dutch settlers In Africa
Enjoyed by Way of Game.
When the early Dutch settlers
landed at the cape in 1862, and under
their first governor, stout Jan Van
Riebeell, took possession of the soil,
they found the country one vast and
teeming natural preserve OF great
game, says the Fortnightly Review.
Down TO the very shores OF the Atlantic
and Indian oceans there wandered a
countless multitude Of the noblest and
rarcst species with which a prodigal
nature ever blessed the earth. The
elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo
roamed everywhere the hippopotamus
bathed his unwieldy form in every
stream and river; the lion. leopard,
and cheetah pursued their prey I'M
checked; the Gland, ioodoo, gnu,
hartcbeest, and number OF other fine
antelopes gra2cd n astonishing plenty.
The mountain zebras paced the
sierras of the cape peninsula and
every other range of the colony
in strong troops; the quagga now,
alas! eXtinct) thronged the karroo
plains. In every corner of that vast
land, upon fat and upland, in deep
and lonely kloof, and over boundless
plain, there wandered free and undis-
turbod ,as they had wandered through
the countless ages of the past, an I'M
exampled array of wild animals.
The early Dutch settlers scarcely
knew what to do with this profusion
OF game. The Glands and koodoos
broke into their gardens and Vine
yards, the elephants and rhinoceroses
made hay with their crops; the lions
besieged them in their fort and logged
Governor Van Riebeek in his garden.
There is pathetic yet ludicrous entry
in the old records of the cape COM
manders bearing the date the Esd of
January, 1868. This night" says
the chronicle, lit appeared as II the
lions would take the fort by storm. y"

Killcd lr nIack Cauaan LYNX.

Ernest Rogers was walking in the
woods near Frewsburg, N. Y, the other
day, when he heard his dogs in savage
combat with something. He hurried to
the spot with an AK and got there in
time TO see one of his dogs ripped open
and hurled ten feet away by the ami
NAL they were fighting. The battle was
going on In the cavity made by the up
turned roots Of tree, and the wild ami
NAL had backed under the roots. The
remaining dog made n dash for It, and
the animal, of kind that Rogers had
never seen before. sprang out and
closed with him. This gave Rogcrs his
opportunity and he knocked tha ami
mails brains out with the AK. 1t was
much bigger than a wildcat, nearly
black. with claws two inches long and
very sharp, a stumpy tail, and long,
erect tufts on the tips OF its ears. Rog-
ers dragged the animal to the village,
whore II was pronounced a black Cana
da lynx. This is an animal rarely seen
out OF Its native Canadian woods. Ii
weighed forty-eight pounds 1t killed
one dog outright and would have made
short work of the other but for the
timely arrival of Rogers and his ak.

THE official utterances Of the Ger

that more than 5000 workmen are
kept engaged night and day in max

Forts along both the eastern and
western boundaries have been newly
equipped, and, while the empire is
talking OF peace, only the button need

The offer OF the king OF Sweden to
settle the political difficulties in Nor
way by abdicating and sending his
son Oscar to be crowned king of that
country, is not likely to be accepted.
The Norwegians always were an obsti-
nate people, as Charles XII. found
to his sorrow. Moreover, they have
recently been cherishing a liking for
republican form of government.
For the storthing to resolve on hav-
ing apresident of their own choosing
rather than king the Swedish ruler
might send them, would not greatly
surprise the world that has been oil
late observing affairs among the
Norsemen.

THERE is something approaching a
general belief that the govt is asso-

If this conviction were true, it would
establish the position of Great Britain
in the line OF high breeding and plu-

physician, asserts that there is fiat
tering prospect that nearly the en-
tire population of England will sooner
or later have the govt in some shape,
not more than one-tenth escaping.

THE total number of immigrants ar
irving in this country during the
seven months ending February L,
1895, was 1880, being a decrease
OF forty per cent from the number ar
irving during the corresponding seven
months year ago. An unpleasant
feature of the record is that the fall
ing of is greatest in the western
countries OF Europe, from which come
the more desirable immigrants, while
from Russia and Hungary the emigra-
ton to America has increased.

A Christ,nas entertainment.

A novel idea for children's Christ.
mas entertainment is a butterflies ball,
writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovil. in the
Ladies' Home Journal. This need not
mean late hours nor expensive dresses,
The boys wear tight-ftting suits of black
or dark-brown. the girl any pretty, fanci-
full dresses. The framework of the wings
is deftly fashioned of wire and covered
with paper or the cotton crepon that
comes in such vivid colors: these are
spangled with gold or painted TO repre-
sent the tinting of thesbutterfy's wings.
A light yoke of wire is constructed 10 tit
the shoulders. fastening under the arms,
and to this the wings are attached. The
effect is very brilliant and graceful. An
other pretty fancy is an archery fete.
The children carry small bows dressed
with flowers. and sheafs of arrows in
fower-bedecked quivers.

INDOOR CHRISTMAS GAMES.
Now the Young Folks May Find Pleas
s ure IL the Day BE Stormy.

Parlor games like chess, draughts, DOM
inoes, etc, are too heavy for Christmas.
The boys and birls want more rollicking,
hip-hip-hurrah games. A committee ap-
pointed to provide desirable amusement
for well-known charity in New York
selected the following program. Ten
hours were spent in selecting appropriate
ipdoor games and pastimes, and even
then no more than We're actually needed
were decided upon. says the New York
Mail and Express. If the children can
get out of doors their amusement is easy,
for baseball, leap frog. hide and seek,
and other games suffice but indoors some
thing akin to these games is wanted.
In this class is u game known as THE
Country Circus" 1t consists in making
riders, tumblers, clowns, strong men, etc..
of all the children and with this impro-
vised company giving a performance.
Another good game for the house is
called Jack in which
those engaged must perform some work
in the particular trade TO which they are
assigned by the foreman. In this game
on Thanksgiving the boys and girls of an
institution in Jersey cut and sewed a lot
of carpet rags. made "a lote of brushes,
and split and bundled several cords of
wood.
THE Boy Hunters" in which the chill
dren learn the name, habits, and peculiar
tiles of the entire animal kingdom, is an
other good game, and Robinson Crusoe"
one of the same kind and value. All these
games are active ones, require constant
movement, and are meant only for the
daylight. For the evening. games less
boisterous must he chosen. In this class
are "Anagrams,' Authors" History
of Our Times" and shadow pantomimes.
The last named, however, are the most
popular and enjoyable and have so in
creased in favor that books written espe-
cially to show how to prepare and per-
form them can be had at any well-stOcked
book store

A Christmas Church Idea.

If the platform of church or Sunday
school room be deep enough to admit of
Il an artistic Christmas arch can easily
be made by an amateur carpenter, writes
Florence Wilson, in the Ladies' Home
Journal The upper part should have
wires stretched across, to which may be
fastened small hemlock boughs, thus
forming n solid mass Of green. The
framework should, of course, be wound
with evergreen, the whole placed about
two feet from the wall so that behind
IL may be hung the Christmas bells of
red and yellow immortelles at different
lengths by ropes of evergreen. These
bells may be made to hang at different
angles by using fine picture wire. Let
each bell be worded, so that they may
seem to ring out their own song of "Glory
to God in the highest"
For Sunday school festival, n post
Office where each child upon inquiring
might find an envelop addressed and
sealed, containing a pretty Christmas
card, is n unique feature. Then there is
the huge SNOWFALL made of cotton, be-
sprinkled with diamond dust and filed
with gifts for the infant class, which
may be rolled through the window with
an appropriate lettec from Santa Claus,
