Bison and Deer.

Bison and a Deer.
The bison of India has never been
kept long in captivity, except in the
case Of one bull, which is now IN the
possession Of his highness the maharas
jan of Mysore.
How this bull came u survive, wheH
so many Of his fellows had suceumbed-
is very pretty story. II is related By
the author of Gold, Sport and Coffee
Planting in Mysore,n who took It down
from the lips OF his neighhor, Mr.. Park,
who captured the animal, and was
knowing to all the details of the story.
When captured the bull was supposed
to be about three days old. A week
afterwards a young doe sambur, pur-
sued by jungle dogs, ran into a laborer's
cottage, and was made a prisoner.
1t was decided to keep the deer as a
companion for the bison, and the two
were accordingly kept together, though
never shut up.
They were fed on milk and then al.
lowed to Craze, and soon became insep-
arabic. They were fed at twelve o'clock
and at four in the afternoon. and
seemed to know their feeding time ex-
actly.
When the bison was two years old it
was thought time to fit him with a nose
rope. He was tied to q tree, his nose
bored, and he was liberated. He ran
all about the grounds, and then, for the
first and only time, he was heard to
below.
After this he was regularly led out to
Craze. The sambur would sometimes
remain behind, but seemed to have no
difficulty in finding him, but, putting
her nose to catch the scent, woald
start at once in the right direction.
The bison had no such power, and if
ever he missed his companion would 90
wandering about till he found her
! When the bull was three years old he
was presented to the maharajah and
was sent off to the nearest railway sta-
tion-some sixty miles away.
The doe soon noticed his absence,
held up her nose as usual, got the di-
rection, and, when the bull was five or
six miles away, she overlook him He
showed the most extreme delight, and
the two Travelled happily together to
4 Mysore.
Mr.. Park saw the bull in 1891, and
two or three years afterwards Mr..
Elliot was glad to learn that the bison
and the deer were still inseparable
companions and both in excellent
health.
He believes that the bull would long
ago have pined away and died but for
the society of the doe.

TO PRESERVE ela GAME.



Buffalo. ELK, Etc.
Most wild animals are much more lo-
cal in their habits than we imagine;
that is, they become attached to some
especial small range Of country, to
which they oonflne themselves at Ger
tain seasons Of the year. We see, SAYS
q writer in Harper's Weekly, the same
thing in our domestic stock on the
range. A bunch of horses will live for
months in some little set of ravines.
feeding over the same ground day in
and day out, until some change in the
weather causes them to move to another
locality. The same is true of range
cattle, though they wander more than
horses. Though ali species of our
western wild game wholly change their
range in spring and autumn, yet. after
they have settled down on their sum
mer or winter ranges, the area that
they cover in their daily wanderings is
not extensive. At certain hours of the
day they go to water; at particular
time they win be found lying down,
usually in the same place, or feeding in
the same neighborhood- The hunter
established in one locality, who is
fairly observant, who has time TO IA
miliarize himself with a particular

ants, and who does not wantonly
disturb them, will learn after

In the National park there are be-

An After-Dinner Speakers Plea for Amer
ieanIsm.
A dinner was arranged in southern
city in honor of visitor from a north
ern state, and the host, when the cigars
were lighted, began to rally his guest
by repeating some of the usual section
al jokes, says the Youths Companion.
"We now have northern Yankee at
ourm mercy. he remarked, jocosely, and
hope that he viii not be intimidated by
the presence of so many southerners.
We can assure him that revolvers and
bowie-knives have been left in the
anteroom, and that he is safe, at least
until we get our hats and arms.
Everybody laughed and expected
that the visitor would respond to this
badinage by making full use of his
privilege of ridieuling southern pecul-
iarities. He surprised the company by
speaking in another vein.
''Our host, he began, travelled with
me in Europe, and l observed that
wherever we went he registered him
self as an American, and never as a
southerner. I thought it was a coed
example to follow, and invariably put
rayself down, not as a northerner, but
simply and proudly as an American.
What seems to me singular is the fact
that two men. who were content tc
travel all over Europe as Americans,
should fancy that they are anything
else in their own country. | do moi
know why I should be anything al
home that 1 am not when | have
crossed the sea and gone among for
eigners.
BY this time the company perceived
that they were to have something bet
ter than old-time Yankee talk and sec.
tional quips, They encouraged the Wis
itor to continue by applauding him
heartily.
He ended by making common-sense
appeal for more general use of the
good old word American.
Let us not be proud of our common
country" he said, when we are abroad
among strangers, and ashamed of il
when we are at home. I am from the
north and you are in the south, but
there is no source of patriotic pride
which is open to you that is not nine
as well by virtue Of my birthrightas an
American. Nor can glory in anything
that is not yours also"
The company rose when the visitor
sat down and joined in singing ''Hail

FIFTH DAY.

The fifth day Of the Harvey HOrr de-
batO began with the chairman, Judge
Miller, on the noor. He simply requested
the audience to respect the rights Of the
debaterS, there having been on the part
OF q portion Of the audience an molina
tlon to interrupt occasionally. Horr then
began the debate by declaring that all
attempts to fix the ratio between silver
and gold had been failures. A difference
between the legal and commercial ratios
Of u OF per cent had been sufficient to
drive the dearer metal out of any civilized
country. It had been so In this country
Gold was the dearer money up to 1884
and 1t left us; silver was the dearer after
1884 and 1t left US, so that in 1858 congress
had to pass a law making the smaller
silver coins much less weight In silver.
"Coin" had said In his book that France
had bid for our silver by establishing a
higher ratio therefor, but France had
made that ratio--1515 to lin 1898 when
our ratio was 10 to and she got no silver
from us up to 1894 He gave q review Of

Il was believed to be more stable in value
than silver and for other less important
reasons.
Harvey said that when he replied to the
above his answer would be complete but
he dessired to talk further about the de-
monetization act. He quoted the Nor
rllI letter read by Horr at the previous
debate. In Harveys quotation Morrill,
says; "None silver dollRrs] having
been coined for forty years" and Harvey
Morrill, was mistaken, there having been
several millions Of silver dollars coined in
the forty years prior to 1873 Harvey i'm.
puted falsehood to Morrill, because helwas
q bank stookholder and the truth would
not have served Morrill's interests
Horr explained that Morrill, was not
writing an essay on the number of silvor
dollars oolned in that time but denying
the talk OF fraud in the passage Of this
demonstration act; there had been only
100000 OF them coined while the amount
of gold was several hundred millions,
said HOrrs Senator Morrill, simply used
tho expression There were none coined
