Huntiug the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species OF big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
of the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because Of It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t 10 not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out of ten.

Something About Stamp,

All United States stamps are first en-
graved on a soft steel die. which is
afterward hardened; several impress
sions of the die are then made on a
roller of soft steel, which is subse-
quently hardened. Impressions from
the roller are then made upon the soft
steel plates used in printing. The fol-
lowing are some Of the ways in which
minor varieties of the design are caus-
cd: Ey the shifting of the roller dur
ing the making Of the plate, causing
the top and bottom parts of the stamp
to be doubled; by missing the guide
lines, causing them to appear in the
stamp; by retouching the die roller or
plate-each plate is retouched, but
some of the dies and rollers are not by
a brittle roller-small pieces break off
II become embedded in the plate,
causing white blotches to appear in the
design; by re-entering-that is, impress
Ing the roller twice on the same stamp
in the plate; also by the wearing OF the
plate.
A unique medal is said to be pre-
served in the Paris mint. 1t is a very
large gold piece bearing on the diverse
the Emperor Napoleon's portrait, and
the reverse Hercules strangling the
giant Antaeus. The inscription is De-

An Amusing Experiment.

The harder a thing seems the more
interesting it is. Here is a little ex,
pertinent, very simple, too, which
seems almost impossible on the face of
tit seems to defy the law Of gravi-
tation.
You take a tumbler, says the Popu-
lar Science News, filed partly with
water, SO as to stand firmly. Then
take a strip of wood, about the length
of an ordinary lead pencil, half an
inch wide AID an eighth Of an inch
thick and tapering to a point at one
o.ia. About one-third of the way from
this end you wedge two ordinary table
knives into the strip. Now balance
the tongue" of the strip carefully
upon the edge of the tumbler, moving
it slightly backward or forward to
mSNe the equilibrium perfect. When
yea have found the center of gravity,
which may occasion you a little troub-
lie at first, you will be rewarded 10y
seeing the frail contrivance delicately
poised in an exquisite balance, which
at first sight seems almost miraculous.

In placing plates in the holders. in

room is convenient he lights the can.

the plates on the table. This can be
done with perfect safety If care is
taken that no reflected light strikes

die being rather dim, the plates are
not injured any more than by a red

A most effective remedy for sheep
scab and ticks is a preparation of pure
nicotine prepared from tobacco. Own
e*s of sheep generally are using it in
stead of lime, sulphur and arsenic and
seem unanimous in believing that
sheep ticks and scab will soon be to-
tally exterminated. Nicotine is a dead
ly poison to insects, but when diluted
for dipping does not affect animals. In
this respect it differs from the mineral
poisons. The Scabcura Dip Co. of Chi
cago are the largest manufacturers of
nicotine in the world.

nou. .nd Woodchuck.

OIlCSlOANSAS
youth's Companion from Paris, Me-,
nm entertaining story of three dogs
and a w%oodchuck.
"Some years ago." he says, Il owned
a dog. Snort, who was q famous WOOD
chuck hunter. In the course of one
season. when woodchucks were un-
usually numerous and troublesome
Snort caught % by actual count:
Zone day in June, when l was noe
ing corn. / heard u good deal of DARK
ing in an adjoining field, anu Knew
nretty we'll what must be going on.
On my way to the cornfield after din
ner. therefore, l went across lots TO
see what Sport was about, and TO !
him a bit, If need be, by removing a
stone or two from the wall In which
the quarry had taken refuge.
"A chorus of excited yelps n
banks guided me to the spot, n as
drew neal l saw that Sport hao
plenty of help. Zip, a neighbours dog,
was on one side, of the wall with MIN
aud on the other side was Rover; q
large hound.
"All three dogs had their noses un-
der the stones, and they digging
and making the dirt fly with their
naws. and barking and yelping as
dogs will when game is almost won.
From within the wall l heard ire
voodchuck's peculiar. defiant whistle.
.Just as 1 approached Sport jumped
hack and dragged forth the wood
chuck. At almost the same instant
Zin Withdrew his head from the wall
and fixed his teeth in the game; and
thcn began a struggle for supremacy,
each dog evidently setting up a claim
for the woodchuck. ~
"Royer on the other side. with his
head in the. wall. raj so eagerly en-
gagged that he did not at once COM
iTehend what had occurred; then 1t
flashed upon him, and he sprang upon
the wall, and for a moment looked
down on the struggling dogs.
Like a whirlwind he launched him
self from the stones upon the wood
chuck. tore it from the mouths of the
other dogs and bore it of in his teeth.
st happened so suddenly that Sport
and Zip didn't know what to make OF
it. They seemed dazed and looked TINS
way and that as IL to ascertain what
had become of their prey. AS Tor
Rover. he disappeared over the brow
of a hill, and I do Lot think the two
dogs left behind ever fairly realized
what beca,ne Of that woodchuck-"
Hints for Amateur Photographers
TO prevent chemicals running down
the side of the bottle then pouring,
coat the rim Of the bottle with palaf-
fine wax by dipping the mouth OF the
bottle in the melted wax.
All trays must be washed after
using. The decomposition of chemicals
in an unwashed tray will often spoil
fresh solutions If put into the tray.
Never leave solutions standing In
trays: when through using turn the
solution into q glass bottle. When not
in use trays should be turned upside
down on a shelf or table.
Developing solutions Should be filter
ed between each using. Bits of film!
often come OF the plate, and If left
in the developer will settle on the
plate and cause a spot or the negative.
The better way is to filter q solution
after using aud before returning it to
the bottle.
To ensure perfectly clear negatives
always use clean hypo. Hypo which
has been used several times becomes
dark muddy color, end IL apt to stain
