CHANGES IN GAME LAWS.
Brief Summary Of Points That Should be Re.
membered By Sportsmen.

There has been so much talk back and
forth about the changes made in the game

ing or shortening close time that the fol.
lowing brief summary is given for the
benefit of whom 1t may concern:

a trap, spear, weir, seipe or set line excep.
fishing through the ice is prohibited and
only five set lines may be used
The limit for catch Of landlocked

person having less than that and happen
ing to catch one fish which Is heavy
enough to make the total over 25 pounds
does not break the law.
lacking or logging moose, deer or carl
bou is prohibited. The close time is un.
changed. Dogs engaged in hunting these
animals may be killed by anyone. 1t is

These purposes made Bonaparte at once
the most gentle and conciliatory of men On
some directions; in others they developed
and hardened his imperiousness. His cor
rcsponGcncc mirrors both his mildness and
his arbitrarnoss. Every letter to the di-
rectory abounds in praise of his officers
and men, accompanied by demands for the
promotion of those who had performed dis
tinguished services Writing to General
Clarke on Nov. 10, 1896, from Verona, he
says, in words full of pathos: "Your ncph-
ew Elliot was killed on the battlefield of
Arcole. This youth had made himself IA
miliar with arms. Several times he had
marched at the head of columns He
would ono day have been an estimable Off
Ger. He died with glory in the face of the
foe; he did not suffer for moment. What
reasonable ISan would not envy such a
death? Who is he that in the vicissitudcs
of life would not agree to leave in such c
way a world no often worthy of contempt?
What one of us has not q hundred times
regretted that he could not thus be with
drawn from the powerful effects of calum-
ny, of envy and of all the hateful passions
that seem almost entirely to control hui
man conduct
Perhaps these few words to the widow
of one of his late generals are even finer:
"Muiron died at my side on the battlefield
of Arcolc You have lost husband that
was dear to you; l, q friend to whom l
have long been attached, but the country
loses more than us both in the death of an
officer distinguished no less by his talents
than by his rare courage. If l can be of
service in anything to you or his child, /
pray you count altogether upon me. !"
That was ALL but it was enough. With
the ripening of character, and under the
responsibilities of life, the long sought for
style had como at last. 1t is martial and
tersc almost to afrectation, dcfying trans
lation, and perfectly rejecting the charac-
ter of the writer.-Professor W. NJ. Sloane
in Century.

SOME PECULIAR PETS.


Eicrcc-LoohinE Lion IL the Mascot 81
French Regiment.
In Algeria, North Africa, the officers
Of the Third Chasseurs d'Afrique have
q pet lion which they took, when very
young, from the African desert. It Is
great pet and very gentle. As rule
It lies outside the officers mess on the
veranda, and looks just like an arti-
fcial one. Many have been the visitors
who took to flight on bcholding his
majesty rise to greet his guests. The
lion by way Of assuring them that he
WINS harmless, or perhaps as sign Of
his dsapproval of their impolite actions,
would generally send gentle roar after
them, which, instead of having the de-
sired effect of recalling them, would
make them increase their pace, IL 1t
were possible to do so.
In the British army several regi-
ments have pets. For instance, the
Twenty-third Welsh Fusileers have 3
pet goat that marches in front Of the
regiment. The Seventy-fourth Highland
infantry, the Seventy-eighth Seaport
Highlanders and other corps have pet
deer that also march in front.
In India the soldiers make many pets,
such as monkeys, parrots, owls, crows,
hawks and squirrels, but their greatest
pet Is the minot, bird like startling,
but larger. This bird, after having its
tongue split. will talk quite well, and
will follow its master about constantly.
Often it will follow a dragon regiment
for four or ve miles on field day,
and will fly round and round the regi-
ment until he finds his master, on whose
shoulders he will settle, even though the
horses are going along at full gallop.
A trooper In the Cape Mounted rifles
In South Africa had green winter
snake for pet, which would follow its
master through the grass TO the river
and go in bathing with him. The
trooper, who was an expert swimmer,
would worry the snake by diving under
water and coming up dozen yards
away. He fed 1t on frogs, raw meat
and little fish. It.sfept in his jack boot
at night. He, however, was not
doomed to have it long, as before he
had 1t quite Ave months hawk car.
ried 1t off before anybody could rescue
the poor little thing.
