Indians Fear Modern Rifles.

Indians sometimes face light fire
arms with great courage, but they fight
shy of the attentions Of any weapon
that sends large projectile," said Col
r. A. Blake, who has had wide expert
ence on the Western plains. "Th
rush and scream of the heavy bullet
| frightens them, and they prefer to keel
away from their range. To that not
unreasonable prejudice is due the fact
that the buffalo hunters Of the early
7O's, who in following their bushes
were constantly exposed to the attacks
of hostile Indians, were molested com
paratively little by them. The long
heavy rifle, with telescope sights and
the knowledge of the deadly certain
| ty of the buffalo hunters aim, almost
invariably served to make the red mar
keep his distance, and set him tempo
rarily free from the notion of scalp
hunting.
lone buffalo hunter, by the name Of
Murdoch, that / knew, was creeping
upon a herd on the Staked Plain when
he spied a band Of Comanches riding
toward him. He instantly leveled biz
gun upon them as a warning that they
should not approach too near. Checb
ing his warriors, the chief Of the ban6
pointed with his hand to a buffalo ID
the distant herd, then mentioned in The
Indian sign language that the hunta
should shoot it. Murdoch fired as tR

The Highest Type Of Hunting.

In my estimation, the pursuit of the
mountain sheep is the highest type of
hunting our continent affords. TO ''col-
lect'' an old ram requires good lungs,
good legs, good judgment, and good
shooting In the doing of it you are
bound to rise in the world, to expand
mentally, morally, and physically, and
to come under the spell that nature al
ways lays upon the hunter who once
sets foot upon her crags and peaks
regret the disappearance of the noun
tain sheep even more than the passing
of the buffalo and elk, for it is an ami
NAL Of finer mold and stronger and
more interesting character every way
1t is much more alert than the noun
tain goat, and therefore more difficult
to shoot-so say the men who have
hunted both.-St. Nicholas.

He was soon a popular preacher. One
lucky day, in response to request, he
preached a sermon on "The Lord is a
Man of War;" in which he brought forth
abundant Biblical evidence that the
sun moves and the earth stands still;
that the latter is fiat and has four cor
ners, being consequently square or dia-
mond-shaped, and that the distance
from the earth to the sun can never
be measured, ''for no one," says he,
"could carry enough food to last
him there and back" Had it not been
for this sermon John Jasper would
probably never have been heard Of
outside the immediate vicinity of his
home. In his strange theories he has
many followers, and the power he
yields over the negroes of the United
States is enormous.

Birds TOnQueS.

Some fresh information about the
tongues Of birds has recently been
gathered by a German naturalist
Many people suppose that woodpeckers
use their sharp-pointed tongues as
darts with which to transfix their prey.
1t is true that the woodpecker, like the
humming- bird, can dart out it's tongue
with astonishing rapidity, and that its
mouth is furnished with an elaborate
mechanism for this purpose; yet in
vestigation shows that the object of
this swift motion is only to catch the
prey, not to pierce it. For the purpose
Of holding the captured victim. the
woodpecker's tongue is furnished with
q sticky secretion.
Considering it's powers of initiating
Speech it is nor surprising to learn that
the parrots tongue resembles that OF
man more closely than any other biro $
tongue does.
The humming- birds tongue is. in
some respects, the most remarkable OF
all. 1t is double nearly from end to
end so that the little bird is able to
grasp it's insect prey with it's tongue.

nished with pair Of fingers.

Newspaper English.

Franklin Matthews, in the Chautau-
guam. attacks the American newspa-
Ders for the want of good English
Which, he says, characterizes them
While there are many newspapers
that may be open to criticism along this
line, it is exceedingly difficult to say
lust what should be included in tie
words ''good English" and just how
much should fall under merited con-
demnation as bad English" There
is no infallible standard that can be
used as test of excellence, and what
enc person would condemn as bad En-
glish an equally good authority might
excuse. Of course, there are some Of
the common rules of grammar that
should be observed invariably, but not
all grammatical writing is good En-
glish," even if all that is ungrammati-
cal is bad English.
Rapid writing and good writing rare
" go together, and the rapidity of work
on American newspapers is fatal to
deliberate choice, on which accuracy
of expression depends. There is little

ton a ship between that port and the
ISthmus Of Panama promises to de-
velop into permanent steamship line.
1t will connect at Colon with the Pana-

of vessels from California points. A
moderatesized steamship is to be used
at first, soon to make it's initial voyage,
and it is expected that a larger vessel
will be placed in commission as the
business increases. There is believed
to be a sufficient amount Of traffic to
make such venture profitable, and as
a regulator Of transcontinental freightS
the enterprise will pay a handsome
return in the money saved in the shape
of lower transportation charges. Aside
from affording New Orleans communi-
cation with the Pacific coast of the
United States, the rich trade of the
west coast of South America will be
brought into commercial touch with
the city near the mouth of the Missis-

The Most Influential Negro Living and

The Most Influential Negro Living and
His Famous Sermon.
Since the death of Frederick Doug

tial colored man living is John Jasper,
famous the world over for his sermon
expounding the theory that 1.-The sun

be seems to have lost little of the en-
ergy of his younger days. When, once

mon, the edifce in which he speaks
is crowded to the doors. And his SER
mons on that well-worn text are never
twice alike.
John Jasper was born in Virginia,
July 4, 1912. For the first twenty-seven
years his life was no more eventful
than, that of the average slave. In 1889
he became imbued with the idea that
he had received "call' to preach He

time to weigh terms or to select lam
guage with regard for exactness in the
rush of a daily newspaper, and yet
some daily newspapers have estab-
lished regulations for good, if not ex-
cellent, writing. But it is not fair to
criticise a newspaper as a whole be-
cause of instances of bad English. An
average newspaper contains specimens
of English from 100 or more writers,
having as many standards. Uniform
ity, therefore, is almost out of the ques-
ton, nor can all the articles be made
to conform to any one absolute stand
ard of excellence
While there is nothing to be said in
excuse of slovenly writing, or dad En-
glish," it is fact rather than fine sen
fences that appeals most strongly to
the American newspaper reader. The
people want news, whether the Ian
guage that serves as the vehicle for its
conveyance is strictly accurate or not.
A newspaper for the learned would not
be of much value to the uneducated.
Much of the criticism of newspapers
in this respect is wholly undeserved.
Mr. Matthews closes his article with
the very just declaration: with the
exception of the common school |
think the newspapers are doing the
most effective work in preserving and
in adding to the 1exibility of the En-
glish tongue"
