TUSsLE WITH A DEER.


The Desperate Fight of "A Hunter with a
Dying Buck.
The literature of hunting is full of
anecdotes which show the danger of o
too hasty assumption that a wounded
animal is dead or past the power of de-
Tending himself. a new illustration is
furnished by Mr.. Roosevelt in his
Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail"
Not only win big, blacll-tail buck
beat off dog or wolf coming at him,
in front, but he is an awkward foe for
a man. One of them nearly killed u
cowboy in my employ.
The buck, mortally wounded, had
fallen TO the shot, and the man rushed
up to kill him. Then the buck revived
for moment, struck down the man,
and endeavored to gore him, but couls
not, because of the despairing grip
with which the man held on to hb
horns.
Nevertheless, the man, bruised aad
cut by the sharp hoofs, was fast becom-
ing too weak TO keep his hold, when IA
the struggle the two came to the edge
of a washout and fell into it some twelve
or fifteen feet. This separated them.
The dying buck was too weak to renew
the attack, and the man crawled off;
but it was months before he got over
the effects of the encounter.

Corean girls. after enjoying freedom

they live in seclusion till they are mar
ried, at sixteen or seventeen years
After marriage, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly, the woman is allowed
to see no man but her husband. The
boys, on the other hand, are taught
that it is undignified for them to enter
the woJnen's part of the house. They
never see their brides till the wedding
day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and
groom are infants. The bride and
bridegroom invite their most intimate
friends to assist them in dressing their
hair in the manner befitting their new
estate. Then the bridegroom mounts
a white pony, which is led by two
servants, while two others on either
side support the rider in his saddle.
Thus he proceeds to the brides house,
in which the bride and her relatives
are awaiting their arrival. a goose
(the Corean symbol of fidelitv), which
the bridegroom brings with him, is
then produced. The bride (who has TO
cover her face with her long sleevesl

a loving cup is passed around, and
then the bride is taken off to the
women's apartments of her husbands
home, where She is looked after by her
mother and mother-in-law, while the

The consumption of tobacco Of all
kinds in France, according to recent
compiled statistics, Is nearly one hun
dred and twenty-five million pounds
per year An analysis of the figures
shows that the people of northe II
France use nearly four times as much
per capita as those in the southern
provinces Almost every other country
of Europe, however, consumes mere
smoking tobacco in proportion to its
population than does France
This is especially the case with Ger
many. In many small German towns
smoking in the streets is forbidden.
Less than fifty years ago if a man
ventured on the streets of Berlin wi "A
a cigar in his mouth he would be liab
to arrest. The same provision existed
until 1s4s at Vienna, though the law
was not observed by the populace. The
town of Brock, in Holland, which IS
said to be the cleanest city in tie
world, has long forbidden the people
within its walls to smoke after sunset
in the streets unless with a covered
pipe, Sin order that the cinders maV
not be blown out" Smoking with an
uncovered pipe in German or Austrian
