knows that. simple as it might seem
before trying it, it is by no means IN
easy matter. For animals thus seen in
masses look so much alike and are con-
stantly changing their places, pushing
each other about, and making so much
confusion, that one can never feel sure
that he has not counted some of the
animals several times over.
This being the ease. how are to be
counted the great herds of thousands
of cattle which are to be found in some
of our own western states, and still
vaster herds which range the immense
plains of the countries of South Amer

In our northern and eastern states,
when it becomes necessary to count
several hundred cattle, it is usually
done by driving them through mar.

the passage of more than few ami
mails ut a time, and prevents them
from moving too rapidly and getting
in each others way.

AN INDIAN GHOST STORY.

1t Describes nn A,i-Niyht Contest Between
a Young Grave and spook.
Among the ghost stories with moral
which haze been told thousand tiines
by Indians who claim n knowledge Of
ancient history and unseen wonders
one deals with the power achieved by
certain celebrated chiefs by fighting
with and overcoming supcrhuman OBJ
jects. The story runs that young
Indian of exceptional strength was
stopped one winters night by terri
ble-loolsing object something like o
human being, but very tall and devoid
of arms or legs. 1t had every appear
ance Of corpse, except that it fought
with great activity. The unequal and
uncanny contest continued through the
night, but as day began to dawn the
young man caught a strong hold upon
his adversary and refused to let him go.
He continued tho fight until ne was in
Sensible, and when he recovered his
reason he found himself battered all
over and badly injured. But he ig-
nored the pain because he was told by
the wise men Of his tribe that having
fought ghost without being worsted
he would have superhuman power to
the end Of his days. This proved to be
correct, for he was able single-handed
to fight a whole squad of men, and
rigors of climate had no fears for him.
This story Is told in connection with
the very old approximation that the
man who conquers ghost can conquer
the world.

EVOLUTION AND PARTRiooEs.
Singular Changes In These Birds In the
Canary Islands.

Singular Changes In These Birds In the
Canary Islands.
A striking example of the effects of
environment and changed conditions
of life upon tho forms of animals Is
furnished by "A species of partridge liv-
ing in the Canary islands. About four
hundred years ngo the Spaniards intro
duced the rcd-legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the
bird has continued 10 flourish there;
bHt, as recent examination proves, it
has undergone notifications clearly
brought abouVby the conditions under
which il lives.
Its back has turned from russell color
to gray. This looks like case of pro-
tcctiye colGratiou, since the bird passes
its life amid gray volcanic rocks.
Then its bealS has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that of its an
cestors and of its European relatives,
and its legs also have increased in
length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it To the life that
it is now compelled to lead amid the
yQcl.s and o. the nountain sides of the
islands, where more vigorous physic.
al development is required than was
needed upon the plains of England and
France.
AS has been remarked, il such
changes can lie brought by nature in
the animal form n four hundred years.

Hoy to Eat IN Orange.

There nre many ways of eating or
nngcs, but the Floridian has probably
the most conmon-sensc way OF dispos-
ing of the fruit. He uses u sharp knife
and pares the orange much the same as
one would peel an apple, taking care
not to cut through the white rind that
protects the pulp Then holding the
orange at the poles and cutting
through the center the seed pots arc
removed. The rest is easy. As col
ored boy in jacksonville said:F'"Put
youah face in it and eat till you come to
the rind." The white rind forms a
natural cup for the juice, and anyone
who ever tries this method will never
think of removing the skin in the old
way and quartcring the fruit
