JACK RABBITS have become so numer-
GUS and troublesome this fall in Cassia
county, Idaho, that the farmers are or
ganizing roundup hunts to lessen the
numbers of the pests. Alta hunt of this
kind held recently by farmers living
near Oakley 5,126 rabbits were rounded
up and killed, and two coyotes and a
lynx were also caught in the ring. The
method followed in these hunts is for
the farmers and their help to spread
over a large section of country, form
ring, and then all work toward the
center, beating the intermediate terri
tory thoroughly and driving the rab-
bits into the center, where they are
killed with clubs.

Forty-eight stays (including one
royal and an 11-pointer) had been
killed this season in Lord Airlie's for
est of Caenlochan, in Forfarshire,
which is let to Mr.. G. w. Henderson,
who succeeded Mr.. Pilllington in the
tenancy. This is n remarkable score,
considering that Caenlochan comprises
only 5000 acres, the ground also in
cluding the Tulchan grouse moors.
Still more striking was the bag in the
adjoining forest of Glencally, which
is rented by Mr.. Lambert from Sir ohm
Kinloch. The extent is little more
than 5000 acres, and 2s stays were
slat, while the Glenisla moors 5000
acres) yielded Il bag of nearly 500 braos
of grouse. These two shootings are
on the march with the heavily stocked
deer forest of Glen Doll. - London

Another notable game animal of the
northwest is said to be fast travelling
the road to extinction that the buffalo
went. The bighorn, one of the great
est attractions to sportsmen hunting
in the Canadian northwest, is being in
discriminatory slaughtered by the In
dians, because of the high prices now
paid for heads and sets of horns. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the Natural History society of Brit
ish Columbia recently, aud the So
ciety has appointed committee to Sc
cure proper protection for the animals.
1t is said that very few rams have been
seen this year. The Indians have been
slaughtering the animals in bands, re-
moving the hides and horns and leav-
ing the carcasses. Two or three years
of such slaughter as is now going on
will, it is said, cause the extinction of
the bighorn.

A NEW ANIMAL.
strange Eyeless Creature with a Horn
Tail Found In Australia,


Once In little while we hear that
some geologist has discovered, or con-
cocted, fossilized antediluvian beast
not yet known on the books. But the
discovery of anything new in the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdoms of to-day
is exceedingly rare.
The greater must be the surprise of
the scientific world at the find which
Prof. f. c. Sterling, of Adelaide, late
ly made in the central desert of the
Australian continent. The hewly
found animal is only small mole, but,
like It's big neighbor, the kangaroo,
1t seems to be remnant of period be-
yond the ken of man. 1t resembles
the kangaroo, for the female has a
pouch in which to carry it's young.
Its general color is q pale gray, re-
Heved on some parts by silvery and
golden tints.
Ihe lace of this stranger presents u
queer sight, it being simply horny
plate crossed by dividing line and
having two nose holes where there is
no nose. The mouth is underneath
this plate. Eyes there are none, and
minutely small, round holes are the
only outward indications of the organ
of hearing.
The tail resembles truncated cone
and is bald-hcaded, so to speak. As
the mole has 40 teeth, it is the more
liable to toothache. Prof. Sterling
was astonished at the strength of the
animal demonstrated by the rapidity
with which it Uses its forefeet, encum-
bered with enormous, oddly-shaped
nails. With these feet and the horny
snout IL digs with such speed into and
through the loose sand of that region
that, once lost to sight, it cannot be
traced again.
No tunnel marks the route of this
underground traveller. With it's hind
feet it completely closes the passage
behind it as fast as it progresses. Like
its brethren in Europe and America, it
subsists chiefly on animal food, ants
and the larvae of insects.-N. Y. World.

RICH MANS APOLOGY.
Why He Pinned a 500 Bill to the Baby
Dress.


Among the many passengers on a
Union Pacific train was u travelling
man, an eastern capitalist, and a young
man with n child. The train was two
days out from San Francisco, and per-
sons who have made this trip realize
how tired the passengers must have
been, especially those who Travelled
from the far east. The babe was cross
fretful and irritable, like most babies
generally are, and often it's cries could
be heard all over the car. The father
for such the young fellow proved to be,
did everything in his power to quiet
the child, but without success, and for
hours the passengers withstood the tor.
ture without a murmur. The capitalist
was one of those cranky individuals,
and moved his seat a number of times
but go where he would the pitiful cries
of the child reached him.
Finally he lost his patience, and with
his face red with anger walked up to
the seat occupied by the young father
''Take that brat to its mother" he
exclaimed loud enough for everybody
do you mean by keeping it here and dis
turbing everybody in the car? No
doubt she's asleep and cares little
whether the baby annoys us or not"
The father slowly raised his eyes,
and as he did so the tears triclled down
his cheeks like rain. Finally he spoke,
but it was with great effort.

about children, but am doing the best

The capitalists face was a study. He
saw that it would be useless to offer an
apology, and without saying a word he
walked back to his seat The passen-
gers could see that he was deeply
moved, and what his thoughts were
can better be imagined than expressed.
The travelling man, who occupied the
seat behind the father, reached over
and said:
Let me take your child. have a
little girl at home, and maybe 1 can
quiet yours"
Without word the father handed

youngster watched the transaction
with wondering eyes, and for q mo-
ment was inclined to cry. Then it be-
came interested in his watch charm,
and in little while was asleep. The
loud talk was hushed and even the
poker party broke up. The father also
dropped asleep, and while he was en-
joying his much-needed rest the cap
italist walked to the seat in which the
baby was cuddled up. Long and earn
estly he gazed at the innocent face,
and there was something about his
eyes which looked like tears. The pas
sengers saw him reach in his pocket.
and when he drew it out again the fin
gers clutched a $100 bill. This he
pinned to the childs dress and re-
turned to his seat. This was his way

Los Angeles, December, 1895.

Change the feeling in an individual,
and his whole method Of thinking will
be revolutioniZed; change the axiom or
primary sensation i'll a science, and the
whole structure will have to be recreat-
ed. The current political economy is
founded on the axiom Of individual
greed, but let new automatic emotion
spring up Gas of justice or fair play in
stead of individual greedy, and the ba-
sis of the science will be altered and
Will necessitate a new construction. So
when people argue (on politics, NOR
ality, art, etc. it will generally be
found that they differ at the base; they
go out perhaps quite unconsciously from
different axioms, and hence they cannot
agree. Occasionally, of course, strict
examination will show that, while
agreeing at the base one of them has
made false step in deduction. In that
case his thought does not represent his
primary feeling, and when this is point
ed out he is forced to alter it.
This is the commercial age, the oil
garchy and plutocracy of Plato. Honor
quite gives place to material wealth;
the rulers rule not by personal or by
hereditary but by property qualiflca-
tions. Parliaments, constitutions and
general "palaver" are the order of the
day.
Wage slavery, usury, mortgages and
other denominations indicate the advance
of the mortal process. In the individual
man gain is tho end of existence. Car

tion.
Husbandry is the firstborn, but it is
not the most favored, trade, because
farmers cannot live in the towns, and
consequently they have not much infiu-
ence in making the laws We must
stand shoulder to shoulder against the
drones who govern us and who produce
nothing but laws. Bismarck.

ELEcTR1c1ry may soon tackle thistle

ELECTRICITY may soon tackle thistle
and jimpson weed. Prof. Woodwork,
of the Michigan agricultural college,
announces that electricity is quite as
cheap as salt for killing off weeds, in
the long run, as it is much more effect
i've, destroying the plant to the root.
He proposes to experiment on the most
noXious weeds by taking a wheelbar-
row or wagon supplied with q storage
battery to the land to be cleared, and
let the hanging wires drag along the
ground. He insists on the practical
bility of removing Canadian and Rus
sian thistles from farms in this way.

therefore he will have no difficulty in
making it as clear as daylight that the

for the express purpose of getting at the

The browning absurdity of this cam
paign of absurdities is to be committed
today when the Hon. William J. Bryan
begins stumpiug tour In the State of
Maine, for though his coming here IL
under pretext Of social visit to his run
ming mate, he is going to address the
multitude from the platform of his car,
presumably upon the subject f..free sill
YER. The social visit to Mr.. Sewall is a
minor incident. Had he come to the
state before election and preached his
doctrine his act would at least have been
rational. If unwise. But his appearance
now after the state has declared against
him and his great remedy by majority
unpr ecedented in it's history seems to be
altogether q senseless performance. 1t
is great waste of wind which m light be
used elsewhere with some possible profit
to himself and bis cause. Possibly one
purpose of his visit is to bolster up Sew
all by an destinations recognition of him
as his true running mate as against Tom
Watson, but If this il its motive it will
be productive Of calamity only. His
public recognition Of Sewsn is certain to
affront all the middle-of- the-road Popu-
lists and turn part of their wrath
which is now concentrated on Sewall
upon himself. In whatever aspect it bs
viewed Bryan's visit to Maine at this
time can only be regarded as a foolish
enterprise destined to do him and his
cause no good, and with many possible
ties in it of harm to both.

In his later speeches Mr.. Bryan seem 9
to have entirely given up discussing free
silver and the way in which it will bene-

array the poor against the well-to-do,

men who have failed against those who
