Oh, deari am nearly distracted to-day,
My family worries me so;
For sweet Angelina, my very best doll,

Poor Margaret Mabel has torn her best dress
And Jane has cracked three OF her toes;
Jemima has hurt her right arm and been
scalped,
And Daisy has broken her nose.
Then Eleanor Rose has got a sore mouth
Just while she was learning to talk;
Dear Bessie has lost both shoes and her hat;
And so 1 can't take her to walk
The twins Jack and Jill, nave got such bad
cold,
And Elsie has measles; ana
Have sent for the doctor, who hasn't come yet,
And fear they will certainly die.
My kitty has scratched; my mammals asleep;
l can't find my slate when I look;
NY tea-set is broken and sister is cross,
And Johnny has hidden my book
II papa was here he would sing me song,
Or tell me story, know,
And If he would ride me downstairs on his
back
believe all my troubles would go.
1 do feel so bad; do you s'pose it's my nerves'
And do you know what will relieve'
But there; heard somebody open the door;
It's papa-I really believe!

THE AMERICAN BISON,
Only Two Hundred Wild Buffaloes Still
Alive in the United States.

Only Two Hundred Wild Buffaloes Still
Alive in the United States.
In wild state, the American bison,
or buffalo, is practically, though not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about 200 wild buff
faloes alive and on foot in the United
States, To obtain these high figures
we include the $50 individuals that the
white head hunters and red meat hunt
ers have thus far left alive in the Vel
1owstone park, where the buffaloes are
fondly supposed to be protected from
slaughter. Besides these, there are
only two other lunches; one of about 20
head in Lost park, Col, protected by
state laws, and another, con-
tanning between. 80 and 40 head, in Val
Verde county, Tex, between Devils
river and the Rio Grande.
-Four years ago there were over 300
head in the Yellowstone park, thriving
and increasing quite satisfactorily.
Through them we fondly hoped the
species would yet be saved from abso-
Lutte extinction. But, alas! we were
reckoning without the poacherS. Con-
gress provides pay for just one solitary
scout to guard in winter 1915 square
miles of rugged mountain country
against the horde of lawless white
men and Indians who surround the
park on all sides, eager to kill the last
buffalo! The poachers have been hard
at work, and as a result our park herd
has recently decreased more than one
half in number. 1t is a brutal, burn
ing shame that formerly, through lack
of congressional law adequately to pun
ish such poachers as the wretch who
was actually caught red-handed in
January, 1894 while skinning seven
dead buffaloes! and now, through lack
of q paltry $500 a year to pay four
more scouts, the park buffaloes are all
doomed to certain and speedy destruc-
ton.
Besides the places mentioned, there
is only one other spot in all North
America that contains wild buffaloes

close that the pelican grew quite tame
and a few days ago it swan up to take
piece of bread from the hand of a
small boy on the bank.
The youngster had rubber band in
his hand. This he slipped over the big
birds bill.
The pelican at once felt something
decidedly unusual had happened. He
tried to shake the band off.
The band didn't move; then the bird
opened its bill, but as it gave its head
Taxed Snap" the rubber band got
in its work and the mandibles came to-
gether with noise like the slapping Of
Stats.
The big bird looked surprised. Its
round eyes were focused on its bill,
which it again essayed to open.
But the rubber band. being near the
end, had too great leverage and the
mandibles could be separated but four
or five inches, only to audibly snap to-
gether.
A most amusing struggle ensued. The
birds bill opened, only to snap shut.
Each time the pelican was more sur
prised than before.
1t tried to rub the bind off on its
back. Then it stuck it's bill under
water and in the mud. Still the band
stuck.
Then he,unhappy fowl made for the
land.
As it walked, it lifted its big, broad
feet unnaturally high, and after going
a short distance brought its right foot
down on its left. Then it couldn't pick
the left foot up.
The ungainly bird, with it's big bill
stuck heavenward, teetered for awhile
and then lost its balance and fell over.
This released the foot, and the peli-
can started for the water, where it con-
tinued to struggle with the tenacious
band while the crowd fairly shrieked
its applause.-San Francisco Call.

Odd Methods Which Have Been Tried ana

Odd Methods Which Have Been Tried ana
Never Found Wanting.
There is no known method by which
sggs can be kept to be equally good as
fresh eggs, but there are many ways
Of preserving them so as to make fair
substitute for use in the kitchen. The
great object to be attained is to pre-.
vent evaporation. Cutting off the air
from the contents of the she'll pre-
serves them longer than any other
treatment. At Present cold storage Is
considered the best method of preserv-
ing eggs, but few have the necessary
facilities, and where the amount Is
small one of the following recipes
will be found acceptable:
EGGS may be preserved by packing
small end down in salt, sand or dry
bran, care being taken that they do
not touch each other. They must be
we'll covered with the packing mate
rial and kept in a cool place. If pre-
terred, they may be wiped before pack
ing with vaseline, to VIII ich salicylic
acid has been added, or given a coating
of salt butter, or covered w it'll spirit
varnish made by dissolving gum
Sh ellac in alcohol.
For preserving in lime a pickle is
made in the following way: Take
twenty-four gallons of water, twelve
pounds of unslacked lime and four
pounds of salt, or in that proportion,
according to the quantity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir several times daily
and then let stand until the liquor has
settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take five ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax
and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and
mix these and dissolve in a gallon of
boiling water, and add to the mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime
water This will about fill cider bar
rel. Lower the eggs in carefully in a
basket or colander, so as not to crack
any of the shells, letting the water al
ways stand an inch above the eggs,
which can be done by placing barrel
head little smaller upon them and
weighing it. The eggs should remain
In the brine until ready for use. If it
evaporates more water may be added,
but the pi exile should never be used
more than once. These proportions
will give brine enough to preserve

HOUSES IN TREES.
Travellers Have Seen Them in All Por.
tions of the Earth.

Travellers Have Seen Them in All Por-
lions of the Earth.
Not many years ago the custom of
building houses in the branches of
trees was a common one among many
of the savage peoples of the Pacific
islands, but latterly the custom has
become less general. Tree houses have
also been seen by travellers in three
districts of Africa-by Nachtigal, near
the Shari river in the Soudan; by
Greenfell, on the Mobangi, and by
Wolf, on the Lomami.
The natives whom Nachtigal and
Greenfell saw in their little houses,
perched high up among the branches,
appear to use these elevated struc-
lures only as places of refuge in time
of danger; but DR.. Wolf, on the Lo-
mani, discovered tree-dwellers who
prefer to live always among the
branches, out of the easy reach of their
enemies and of the freshets that fire.
quently inundate their lands.
We have heard more of the tree
jewellers in Borneo than of those in
any other part of the world. But
these buildings are also found in con-
siderable numbers in New Guinea and
the Solomon islands.
Some tribes there have long been in
the habit of building houses fifty or
sixty feet from the ground. When their
lookouts report the approach of the
enemy in their rowboatB the danger
signal is communicated by peculiar
cry. Then the women and children
climb into the tree-houseg by means of
rough ladders, and watch, safe from
harm, the conflict which ensues.
Firearms are responsible for the
Abandonment Of these Greenhouses for
ground dwellings. 1t is against the
law to sell firearms to these Pacific saw
ages, but in one way or another they
are able to secure a considerable guam
| tity. When they are used the natives
find the perches Intellectual refugees

guns and rifles. The poor creatures

Such shed will cost but little, but
care must be taken that no holes or

reigns supreme. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Lizard and Mackenzie riv-
ers, on the east by the Slave river, on
the south by the Peace river, and on
the west by the Rocky mountains. Mr..
Warburton Pike says it is now the
greatest beaver country in the world,
and that it also contains few bands
of the so-called wood buffalo. Some
times they are heard of at Forts Smith
and Vermillion, sometimes at Fort St.
John, on the Peace river, and OCCASION

but it is impossible to say any
thing about their numbers" At all
events, in February, 1900, Mr. Pike
found eight buffaloes only four days
travel from Fort Resolution, on Great
Slave lake, and succeeded in killing
one. The Canadian authorities estimate
the total number in that region at three

Humming Birds and Flowers.

It has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the fertilizing
pollen from flower to flower, but the fact
has only recently been prominently
brought forward that humming birds
are just as effective distributors of pol
len as insects are. 1t has been shown
that these little birds, which are as
fond as bees of the honey of flowers,
carry the pollen grains in great guam
tity, not only on their feathers but on
their long bills also. Indeed, so well
suited is the humming bird to do this
work of distribution, without any in.
tention of its own, that the question
has been raised whether it may not be
