Employer and Companion.

One Of the most important secrets of a
hunting expedition is this: Never allow
yourselves any luxuries in tight place
which your men have no share in" The
English sportsman whose advice we have
quoted tells how he was rewarded in the
Caucasus for treating his men as comrades
and sharing camp comforts with them.
He says:
One chilly night among the mountains
I awoke at 3 o'clock to find myself warm
and snug under two extra native blankets.
The owners of the blankets were squat
ting on their hams, almost in the fire, and
talking to pass the long, cold hours until
dawn.
Having rated them for their folly and
made them take back their blankets and
turn in, rolled over and slept again.
When next woke, 1t was O'Clock, and
the men were still orouching over the en-
bers, helping to cook breakfast, their blan-
kets having been replaced upon my shoul.

Tho Ferris Wheel Game

There is new game, an echo Of tho

''The Ferris Wheel"

or was Chicago lad.
A great double spiral is drawn, lots
are cast to decide who is to lead off, and
then Master A. B., who has won the
cast, hops into the diagram as far as the
center, and then retraces his hops---steps

places his initials in any part Of the
spiral which appeals to his taste The
others follow in order. No one must
touch the lines Of the spiral, fail to keep
one foot clear Of the ground or step upon
any initials except his own. This is nc
easy matter, particularly after the dia-

sion Of letters.

"Well, you watch, and you will find

men settle themselves comfortably, stick

Now, this isn't imagination. I've

tenths of the law, or rather, l might say,
nine-tenths of politeness. What man

just as easy for him to keep on standing,

4 Peculiar Character In the Novel of
'srhe Maid OF sker.p

Mr.. Blaokmore worked into his story
the character OF a notorious pair of par
sons In the same portion of the county.
Parson Chowne actually was rector OF
Knowstone, and the tradition Of his evil
deeds Is by no means faded out of reoollec-
ton. The people tell still Of the manner
In which he revenged himself upon any
farmer who offended him. He had two
methods. One was to invite the man
against whom he medltated evil to dine
with him, when he would ply him with
liquor, and when his guest drove away,
down n steep and rugged hill, the Inch
pin of one of his wheels would come out
and the man be thrown from his trap and
break neck or leg or arm. The other way
was less severe He would say before some
man whom he could trust, II wonder how
bad Farmer X. would feel were his rick
TO be firedP" Next night the rick would
be in flames. Chowne never entered into
alliance with the savages of Coleridge.
Nor did he end his days torn to pieces by
dogs, as represented in the novel. Several
Of the tales told of him in 1.-THE Maid of
Sker' are, however, true, as is that of his
having introduced an apple pip into the
eye of horse that belonged to a baronet
to the neighborhood, against whom he
bore grudge
The story is told of Parson Chowne that
the bishop of Exeter sent word that he
would visit him. Chowne had q portion Of
the road dug up and filled with peat wa
ter and then covered over with sticks and
furze and sprinkling of soil The bishops
carriage went in, and the bishop was up
SET but Henry of Exeter was not the man
to be stopped by such a matter as q break
down-not on the road but of the road
and he walked forward on foot
"Mr. Chowne," said he, I've heard
strange stories Of you"
"Waal, my lord" answered the rector,

allow himself TO be caught in his malprac-
tice. Toward the end of his days he re-
signed his living and resided in house
Of his own.-Atalanta.

PRINTING IN CHINA.
shun Pao, ehanghaI Daily, Has Eight Pages
of Thin Rice Paper.

Shanghai is China's chief port and con-
tains about 400, 900 inhabitants, who are
under native rule, and the English, Amer.
lean aud French settlements, with $50,
600 Chinese and 5000 foreigners, all OF
whom are under foreign rule.
In that city tremendous congregations
gather in the mission churches, and there
are to be found the largest Sunday schools
in China. In Shanghai is also the largest
mission press in the world. More than
1000 Chinese converts are connected with
the different missions.
In the mission press electrotyping and
stereotyping are done, and over 80, 900, 00C
pages are issued annually.
The Shun Pao is the best paying and
most widely circulatd Of the three native
newspaper dailies of Shanghai. 1t Is an
eight page sheet, printed on tho thinnest
of rice paper. 1t is so light that it does
not weigh moro than mans handker'
chief and SO thin that the paper can be
printed on one side only.
The paper goes to press in big sheets,
which are SO folded that the blank side
Is turned inward when taken in hand by
tho subscriber, and so that there is neither
cutting nor pasting. Owing TO the thin
ness Of the paper 1t has greasy, yellow
appearance, and it is printed so closely
with Chinese type that not an inch seems
to be wasted.
The headline or title of the paper con-
sists of two Chinese characters, taking uT
q space not wider than ono of the columns
Of our newspapers and not more than an
inch in length.
Its price is 10 cash, which, allowing fol
the difference in currency, makes it equiv
alent to half cent in our money. .-Phila

A FAD FOR TATTooS.
Collecting In His own Body Specimens OF
the Art From Everywhere.

l heard recently Of an unusually odd
kind of fad. 1t is In the possession of q
wealthy Portsmouth man, who married
an actress once familiarly known in Bos-
ton. He Is a collector of tattoos. The ex-
hibits are all on his own body, and / am
told-it is only matter Of hearsay-that
the collection is very rare. He is con-
noisseur on the various kinds of tattoos,
the methods of the tribes that wear them
and their history. A new tattoo is as fas-
cinating to him as first edition or bit OF
Egyptian glass that has survived the art
TO make 1t. Only a short time since he
heard of tribe in central South America
which owned tattoo of which he had
never heard before and he started post
haste for the interior of the southern hall
of the western continent and returned
with the tattoo In his possession.
1t surely has the claim Of being an origi'
nal fad, and 1t is one in which the col.
lector is not likely to have many rivals.
Moreover, it, Is collection Of which nc
one and no thing can rob him. 1t cannot
be stolen; 1t cannot be auctioned by his
creditors; envy cannot seize upon 1t, mol
experts malign. 1t costs nothing to keeI
1t, requires no insurance. or course as
an investment one cannot claim anything
for it, but It has the advantage Of being
pursued for its own sake and not in any
spirit that can be emistaken.-Boston Jour

; Doors MADE OF GLASS.
hut They Have Every Appearance Of High
IL Polished Wood.

Two Boston inventors have secured q
patent for process Of making glass We
neers which have many peculiar properties.
This inventIon relates primarily to the
production of ornamental glass, which
may be either senIitransparent OF opaque
and is made to represent highly polished
wood Of any description. 1t is intended to
be applicable for veneering wherever re-
quired and is particularly adapted for YES
tibule and other doors, the exterior OF the
glass having the appearance Of highly pol
ished wood while in the interior OF the
house 1t will appear semitransparent.
In carrying the invention into practice
a sheet Of ground or plain glass Is taken
Of any desired size and clouded the Same
on one side with liquid dye of the proper
color TO represent any desired wood, which
dye Is applied by means of a sponge for
delineating the grain of the wood so as to
appear upon the surface of the glass. The
shading Is softened by means of badger
brush. Photographers varnish is then
caused to flow on the glass and leaves the
grain clear and fast without the necessity
Of using any gelatinous substance, which
would render IL liable to crack and spoil
the effect.
To complete tho operation the glass Is
then slightly heated, and the varied shades
Of dyes required for the particular wood to
be represented are caused to flow over IT
by means Of syringe. The glass is heat
cd in order to prevent the shadings from
merging into each other. The whole is
then made semitransparent by applying
another coat of photographers varpish, SO
as to prevent the dyes from being effaced,
while the exterior surface presents the ap-
pearanoe of highly polished solid wood
finish. Exchange.

A brilliant idea,

A German paper tells an amusing story
of Cumberland, the thought reader. On
journey from Vienna to st. Petersburg
he entertained his fellow passengers by
guessing their thoughts. One Of the trav-
elers, a Polish Jew, who took the whole
thing for hoax offered to pay Cumber-
land the sum of 90 rubles IL he could di-
vine his thoughts. Visibly amused, Cum
berland acceded to his request and said:
"You are going to the fair at Mini
Novgorod, where you intend to purchase
goods to the extent of 10000 rubles, after
which you will declare yourself bankrupt
and compound with your creditors for
per cent"
On hearing these words the jew gazed
at the speaker with reverential awe. He
then, without uttering a syllable, drew
out of the leg Of his boot a shabby purse
and handed him the 30 rubles whereupou
the great magician triumphantly in
quired, "Then / have guessed your
thoughts, chr" NO." replied the jew
"but you have given me a brilliant idea. y

A Double Catch.

A farmer named Sam Jones set trap
for fox in a clearing in Seabury Settle
ment, N. Y, and when he went to see II
ho had caught anything he found that the
trap was gone, Notwithstanding 1t had
been secured by chain and heavy sta.
pie driven into log. The chain had been
broken off, and fox tracks led away, leav-
ing tolerably plain trail in the dead
leaves. The trail Jones followed until he
reached a small opening some dozens OF
rods away, where, on the moss, lay his
fox, dead and holding fast by the throat
with its jaws dead eagle. The eagle in
sailing over the woods had spied the fox in
the trap and had swooped down upon it,
but the fox, although crippled by the trap,
had made gallant fight and had killed
his assailant while yielding up his own
life.-Exchange.

Shasta There he has learned the habits
of the numerous wild animals to be
found in that region and knows how to
hunt and trap them with the skill of an
old border trapper.
With his rife slung over his shoulder
and accompanied by his dog Shep, q
magnificent type Of the Scotch collie,
which has been his companion in every
exploit, he roams the hills from morn
ing till night bringing down any game
that crosses his path.
Last summer was his banner season,
however, and three fine pairs of antlers
now adorn his room as evidence Of his
prowess. To bag all three he fred only
four shots, one of which mi"sed It's mark
by very small margin.
In the early part Of September, while
hunting with his father, a fine buck
was sighted when about 100 yards away.
The country was too open TO allow them
to creep up any nearer, so, resting his
gun on fallen log, the little lad drew
fine bead on the unsuspecting deer
and fired. The animal made three quick
bounds and tumbled in heap. The
young hunter did not betray trace Of
"buck ague" over his splendid shot,
and his only comment on the perform
anoe was, II thought you said that gun
wouldn't kick. "
When Leslie was years old, he took
his fathers place In a competitive shoot
ing match at long range target in
Quincy, Plumas county. Mr.. HALEY
was debarred on account Of his reputa-
tion as crackerjaok.
Many of those who were entered were
skilled marksmen. None Of them paid
any attention to their childish rival ex-
cept to laugh at the absurdity of such a
small bit Of humanity entering shoot
ing match.
But when the game commenced they
found a surprise in store for them. The
little chap, with the sang froid worthy
Of successful champion, took his turn
at the butts, and with regularity that
fairly astounded the large gathering Of
spectators and took the breath away
from his rivals planted shot after shot
in the center of the target.
At the conclusion of the match he
had a tie with one Of them and ON the
shootof made another bullseye and won
the trophy.
! But withal he is modest and retiring,
preferring the baolSwoods with his gun
and dog to the sports of the city bred
children. San Francisco Examiner.

oMNlPResENT HYDROGEN.
One of the Commonest Elements Of the
Earth and the Universe.

Ehrtn ana tne UNIVERSE
No result of spectroscopic research
among the heavenly bodies has been more
remarkable than that which demonstrates
the extraordinary abundance with which
the element hydrogen is diffused through
out the universe. 1t is of course, one Of
the commonest elements Of the earth, enter
Ing as 1t does, into the composition of ev.
cry drop of water Hydrogen is also a con-
stituent part Of vast number Of solid
bodies, but the remarkable circumstance
for our present purpose is that this same
element is found in profusion elsewhere.
Surrounding that visual glowing globe Of
the sun there is an invisible atmosphere,
Of which hydrogen is one of the most
prominent components.
A like conclusion is drawn from the
spectra of many of the stars. In the case
Of certain specially white and brilliant
gems, Of which Sirius and Vega may be
taken as the types, the chief spectroscopic
feature is the extraordinary abundance in
which hydrogen is present Even in the
dim and distant nebul@ gaseous hydrogen
Is the constituent more easily recognized
than any other which they may possess
Indeed it may be, affirmed that we do not
know any other substance which is so
widely diffused as hydrogen.
1t need hardly be said that this gas Is
an important constituent in those COM
pound bodies with which life is associated.
In that somewhat grewsome exhibition
which shows the actual quantities of the
several elements Of which an average hu-
man body is composed the bulk Of the hy-
drogen forms one of the most striking
items, and indeed In connection with all
forms of animal and vegetable life hydro
gen is Of primary Importance. In the ar
gument from analogy for the existence of
life in other worlds it is significant to
note that an element associated in such an
emphatic manner with the manifestation
of life here should now be shown to be
widespread through the universe. Sir
Robert Ball in Fortnightly Review.
