ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIe-HoRN.a
IF You Kill One of These You May
Call Yourself Sportsman.

| IF You Kill One of These You May
Cali Yourself Sportsman.
| At last we have reached that gallant
fellow. the mountain sheep or big-horn.
A true cliff-dweller is he. Born under
the shelving rocks of beetling cllH,
sometimes actually Graded in the snow,
and reared in the stormy atmosphere
of high attitudes, he is TYPICAL noun
taineer. Wherever you find him at
| home. depend upon it that you VIII
also find the finest scenery OF the DIS
| trict.
This animal also loves birds-eye
view of a mountain landscape as Wen
as does a member of the Geological
Survey. A steep descent with a mar
row, level valley and q thread-ilke
| river spread like relief-map three
| thousand feet before him is his delight.
| In former times he was venturesome,
and often wandered miles away from
his mountain home to explore tempting
| tracts of bad lands; and, being unmo-
| Tested, he sometimes took up a perma-
| nent residence in such places. But the
| venturesome inhabitants of low, lso-
| lated mountains and ShelterleSS Dad
| lands have paid with their lives Tor
their pioneering, and now mountain
| sheep is rarely found elsewhere than
| amid mountains worthy of the name.
Kill one fine old mountain ram by
| your own efforts in climbing and stalk
| ing, and we will call you sportsman,
with capital S-provided you save his
| head for mounting, and his flesh for the
| platter. But no ewes, mind you! Ewes
and lambs count against you, rather
| than to your credit Can | ever forget
| how / once travelled all the way from
| Washington to Wyoming, killed just
| one superb mountain ram amidst grand
| scenery, preserved him, carried his
| "saddle"to Washington, and called ny
pleasure trip complete success! Hard
| ly. Even the recollection of 1t Is worth
| four times the money 1T cost.
That particular mountain sheep stood
four feet three inches in height at the
shoulders. He was four feet ten inches
in length of head and body, and his
girth was three feet eight inches. He
| leaped off low ridge of bare rock, fell
dead on a foot of snow in the head of
a rock walled gulch, and oh, boys! how
| fine he was! Up in the mountain park
he had been paving through the snow
to get at the spears of dry grass that
were there obtainable; and in spite of
the difficulty of the process, and the
| pitiful scantiness of the grazing, l was
astonished beyond measure at finding
| that his stomach contained fully half
| a bushel of that same grass. He was
not only in good flesh, but positively
| fat; and from the fact that to save our
| lives Fleming, the packer, and l, both
muscular men, could not lift him upon
a mule to carry him to our camp, and
| for other reasons, l am certain that he
| weighed at least three hundred pounds.

Frozen by Heat, Melted by Cold!

In Germany, the land of scientific GU
riosities, a substance has been produc-
ed by chemical experiment, which
seems to contradict the law that heat
melts and cold solidifies.
The new substance is called "cryo>
!staz," and is formed by combining
equal quantities Of phenol, camphor
and saponine with little turpentine.
When its temperature is lowered be-
low the point at which the water
freezes, it becomes liquid, but when it
is heated it turns to the solid state.

A DOGS Life in Oklahoma.

Down in Oklahoma they have many
queer ways and queer things. The way
they dispose of outlawed dogs would
cause citizen of Kansas City, who is
used to the comparatively peaceful
ways of the dog catcher and his wire
moose and profanity, a shock. They
have neither wagon nor moose in Okla
homa cities, but they have few stray
ours which have forfeited their right
to live because they have no master.
Not long ago a Kansas City mau
stood on one of the principal streets
of busting town, when he heard the
report of a gun and saw crowd of
people run in every direction.
"Ahv' he thought, "a tragedy. What
luck For your ordinary peaceful cit
izen likes nothing better than the slim
illus of shock of that kind when in a
country with reputation for desper-
ate deeds and men. Standing on the
street was small man holding smok-
ing shotgun, and writing upon the
ground was big yellow dog. Another
shot and the dog was dead. Then the
crowd swarmed in, and the man with
the gun wormed his way out, followed
by a crowd of adoring small boys. 1t
was the city dog catcher. No moose
and long torture for dogs in that town.
The city executioner just loads up his
gun and goes out and cancels dog Or

1894. Only two states of primary i'm

and 50 respectively, while in the others
percentages range from " in Missouri
to 100 in Arizona. In 1894, thirteen out
of the twenty-one states in the above
classes had percentages below ten"
