man now took up the pursuit of the
wounded bull. which he had marked
in it's fight through a dense patch of
reeds to the right of the lagoon. The
beast had turned off alone. and the
greatest care had to be taken in fol-
lowing it through such covert. But
the Dutchman had hitherto always had
great luck with buffalo and was deter
mined to finish his task. AS soon as
the reeds were reached the blood spoor
was easily followed. The heavy bullet
had evidently raked the lungs. as the
bull was bleeding freely. and large
patches of crimson marked its path.
The reeds were very tall-12 or IA feet
and thick, and the spooring seemed so
dangerous an operation that the Hot
tentot, who was carrying second
gun-a Martini Henry-fell behind,
leaving his master to take the first risk
with his heavy eight-bore. At every
step-they were wading knee deep in
water-the hunters stopped to listen.
They had not penetrated so yards
through the avenue of broken reeds af-
forded by the passage of the bull,
when in an instant and without warn

Boer was knocked fiat upon his back
by the charge, but the bull had mis-
calculated his distance; he had no

following a wounded buffalo into thick
covert.
Occasionally hunters have been at
tackled by a solitary buffalo, which has
charged them before a shot has been
fired, and without apparent provoca-
ton. In such instances IL has usually
been found, either that the animal had
been previously wounded by some other
hunter, or had been clawed by lion;
in either case its naturally morose tenn
per was thus rendered yet more dam
gerous.
No hunter ought to attempt to tackle
a buffalo with rifle of lighter caliber
than a SIT double express. An even
safer weapon is a double eight-bore,
carrying a spherical bullet. With such
a rifle the charge of a buffalo, even at
close quarters, can be pretty eHectu-

This growing demand for the Christian
scriptures has come from Greenlands
icy mountains or midas coral strand,
and whether in the language of a Chi
nese, a Zulu, or any other tongue more
nearly approaching the English.
Last year the British and Foreign
Bible society distributed 2,1S5,61S Bibles
in foreign countries, and the American
Bible society exported 634.02 copies.
These books were printed in forty-one
different languages. Many complete
Bibles and portions of scripture were
also printed by the American society
at Beirut, ConstantinopIe, Shanghai,
Bangkok, Yokohama, Paris and Bre-
men.
An idea of the vast territory reached
by the New York society and the var
iety of languages employed may be
gained from the fact that last year
the Chinese received from the New
York society 1205 testaments in their
language, the Zulus zoos. Portuguese

While the heather of foreign lands
are supplied with copies of the scrip
lures those at home are not neglected,
and increasing work in the direction of
a systematic distribution of the English
Bible is being carried on. During last
year about $4,000 Bibles. testaments
and portions of scripture have been dis
tributed by the various home societies.
Six thousand families nave been visit
ed. About one-fifth of them were found
without Bibles and were supplied.

destitute Sunday schools. given to the
army and navy, to immigrants, freed
men, the poor and criminal institutions
In this connection the blind are not
