HIGH WATER HUNTING.
Game Too Plentiful on the Ridges i'm
the Flooded Missouri Bottoms.
From the 81. Lonis Glohe-Democrat-

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The high waters have made happy
hunting ground of large portions of South
east Missouri and Arkansas. All the bot
tom lands, where the turkeys and deer
seek food and shelter, are now flooded like
canebrakes, but to the bottoms where the
dwarf cane grows in profusicn. All
through the fiat country to the southeast
there are numerous ridges or mounds.
covered with beech, oak, pecan, and hick-
DRY trees. These mounds seem to have
been designed by nature as a place of
refuge from the rising waters of the bot
toms Tor the animal kingdom.
Tom Parker of Charleston, Mo, who
was In town on Friday, gives a most en-
thusiastic account of several hunts in
which he INDUCED in the past week with
some friends: Il never saw so many tur-
keys and deer down the Iron mountain in
the same length of time as l did this
week., he said. But / have hunted the
ridges during many a rise before. Myself
and a, man named John Beckel started
out in a 'dug-out' Tuesday morning from
a point short distance above Oran, and
struck across through the timber for
Beech Ridge, which lies close to Hubble
Creek bottoms, and not far from Little
river We struck the ridge about 10 O'Clock

some squirrels for Christmas, but as we
entered cornfield, the only clearing on
the ridge, nearly every step we took quail
buZzed from under our feet and rabbits
darted away in droves.
Il had some shells of fine shot but am
not much on wing shooting. Before we
got to the timber l knocked over fifteen
quail however, killing seven at one shot
The birds lit in the trees and bushwacked
in large flockS. Just as we got over the
fence fifteen turkeys arose from a fallen
tree top and alighted in the big timber
right at the edge of the overflow We got
three OF these, and before We had gone
a hundred yards from the place. three deer
were started on a point of land that ran
out into the water but, as they dashed
off into the overflow, we didn't get a shot
1T wasn't more than twenty minutes
later when Beckel sighted an old buck and
a doe right among drove of young steers.
Beckel was using a long, notwithstanding
rifle, which he rested against a tree but
had to wait for some time for fear of
hitting one of the young cattle Presently
the buck raised his head, evidently getting
a scent of US; but it was bad move for
him, as Beckefs rifle cracked, and the
old buck fell to his knees, arose again.

more. l tell you it was a fine big buck.

RAIL AND CROsSTIE.

The readers of the Morning News will
no doubt be surprised to know that there
is direct communication between Palm
Beach, Fla, and Nassau. New Provi-
dence Mr.. Flagler's new steel twin
screw steamer Northumberland made its
first trip yesterday, leaving Palm Beach
in the afternoon. arriving at Nassau in
time for breakfast this morning at the
Rovak Victoria hotel, which has just
opened. The hotel is hardly excelled in
FLORIDA and was built at a cost of S125, 900,
and is complete in all its appointments.
In order to reach Nassau Mr.. Flagler
went to an enormous expense in building
an iron pier out from the Hotel Royal
Poinciana, where his steamers leave for
Nassau twice a week. MIR. Flagler is
extending his road to Biscayne bay, and
eventually will build to Key West. This
is the most delightful part of Florida, and
is reached by the Florida East Coast rail-
wav which line runs its trains to con-
meet from Savannah with trains of the
FLORIDA Central and Peninsular railroad.

From the New York Sun.
The Algerian papers report the death
of the famous snake charmer, Hadj-Ali,
ben-Cheikh- ben-Aisa, aged 115 This fact
has led M. Vigouroux to relate in a. Paris
paper an experience he had in Cairo last
spring with a snake charmer.
At Cairo there is an old palace which
IS now used as an orphan asylum. M.
Vigouroux, accompanied by q friend. was
walking leisurely in one of the streets of
the old city. They noticed a mild-looking
young man carrying a black leather bag,
such as is always carried by serpent
eharmers. His face was pale. somewhat
feminine, and his gait was loose and in
singularly piercing. They at once en-
gagged him TO come the next day to the
palace of Engha- Hanem. Guards were
stationed around the building to prevent
the charmer from getting into it before
the appointed time When he arrived he
was led into the first courtyard He was
asked II there were any snakes there.
Yes" he replied, "a great many"
AS preca utionary measure he was
conducted into an interior court in the
center Of the palace. There he was asked
If he could catch a snake. The charmer
whistled for few seconds and then lis
tened attentively.
Yes" said he, there is a snake on
this side" pointing to the wall A bar
gain was then made with him. the rate
being a shilling q snake. He Immediately
went 70 work with the air Of a man
who understood his business and was
perfectly sure Of the result.
