SOME FOREIGN PADS.
Queer Practices That May Before Long
 Be Imported.


 Several new fads are reported from France, one of which is stilt-walking for the elite. Such an amusement must necessarily be practiced only in the country, however, says the New York Tribune, as even the eccentric grandes danes of France would hardly care to be seen walking on stilts in the Bois de Boulogne.
 At house party up the Hudson short time ago half dozen pairs of stilts were provided fer the amusement of the guests and the attempts to mas ter the awlzward-looking affairs caused much Inerriment. One young lady who had practiccd the art in her childhood evoked much admiration as she strode off with her attendant swain with perfect ease.
 Another report from the French cap ltal is to the effect that the abbreviated costume which the Parisienne calls her bicycle dress has been found so com fortable that several women who love to hunt and fish wear it habitually on their country estates in the daytime. They rejoice in the sharp contrast of sill1en, lace-bedeclzed tea gowns and the smartest of dinner frocks in the evening Bicycles seem to have sue ceeded in introducing in few months what dress reformers have been vainly trying to inaugurate for years, i. e., a sensible outdoor costume for women. Even in America it is now considered the proper thing to wear very short tailor-made skirt with knickerbockers and leather leggings for country tramps or sports-although to the cred it of American women, be it said, that extremes are considered vulgar Our really ''smart" women wear costumes that are invariably ladylike.
 Another new transatlantic idea, which this time is English, is to have dwarf trees as ornaments for dinner tables, the florist having initiated sue cessfully the Japanese method of pro- ducing Eliputian specimens of cherry, apple and other towering fruit trees.

POISONING COYOTES.
Methods of Usin. Strychnine on Wild An
 tmaIs in the West.

Methods of Usin. Strychnine on Wild An
 tmaIs in the West.
 A bill lately introduced in the Col orado legislature provides for the pur- chase of strycnnine by county commis- sioners for the destruction of wolves and coyotes, which are becoming quite desperate ali over the state and are multiplying in spite of bounty laws, says the Denver Field and Farm. One way to put out poison is to take fresh dead COW or horse, remove the hide, cut the animal open, gash the outside with knife and put strychnine in the in- cision and on the entrails. The crys- tals of strychnine will soon dissolve and penetrate the flesh. Carcasses thus prepared are often frozen before the wolves find them. But the wolves eat of the frozen blood from the thorax and die within an hour after eating. The action of the poison in warm weather is much quicker. Occasion ally poison is unnecessarily used, but the hunter is almost sure of some pelts, and is sometimes richly reward ed. From fifty to seventy-fve wolves have been killed in one night from the poisoning of one carcass. This was in Middle Park, where the wolves are very plentiful.
 It takes two bottles of strychnine to poison one dead COW or horse, and from one-fourth to one-third of bottle for sheep; small animals or birds require less proportionate amount. All the carnivorous animals may be destroyed by strychnine. The larger ones may be poisoned by putting a few crystals in small balls of butter or lard. When the animal is frozen so that it will not aborb poison scatter the balls round about. Small animals can be killed by poisoning scraps of meat, or small birds, mice or fishes. The red fox can be easily poisoned where it could not be trapped. Stryrhnine must be handled with great care. It should be used moderately in small baits and placed where dogs and cats are not likely to find it.
 Poisoned animals may be kept for months, if necessary, and if promptly
 
 be good. A hole bored in log or block of wood and filled with lard mixed with strychnine is very effectual when weather is not freezing The animals lick it out so slowly that they die before they get away. The ap- proved method used here in Colorado is to place small quantities of crystallized stryehnine in druggists capsules and insert one of these in bait of meat about the size of hens egg. Hang up calf's head or some fresh meat in a tree or on fence so high that wolves cannot reach It. Then scatter the bait around the spot every few feet. The fresh meat in the tree attracts the ami mals, and they readily pick up the bait on the ground. A drachm bottle of strychnine costs thirty-fve cents and contains forty or fifty doses of poison. The capsule method is recommended as best of all
