Colonel William Root, OF Laramie,
Wyoming, recently received an order
from the representatives of some
wealthy British sportsmen owning big
preserves in the Scottish Highlands
for n number OF elk, deer and moose,
to be shipped to Scotland for restocll.
ing the preserves. He has in forme:
years secured and sent over several
similar consignment OF big game to
Great Britain and the Continent. Ihe
deer, he says, stand the long journey
well, but elk and moose seem mora
delicate, have to receive the greates9
care and the most carefully selectst
food, and after ali frequently die o.
the ocean trip. He will hunt in tho
northern part of Wyoming, where els
and moose still abound, for the AMI
mails TO fill this order. 1t is muca
harder task, US may we'll be i'm lglne3,
to secure these animals alive and Ia
good condition than simply to stil..
and shoot them. Anew York Sun.

Beginning OF Iiuman Speech.

We have all had our laugh at the
"Bow-wow and Baa-Baa" theory OF
language, and now no less an authority
than Professor A. r. Wallace revives
it in q measure in on article entitled
"The Expressiveness Of Spech," to be
read in the Fortnightly Review. As
Wallace. studies this, the. beginning of
human speech, animal cries and the
imitation of them have nothing to do
with mans first words. There may
be, OF course, initiative words, which
man acquired from bird, but our
authority believes words were first de-
rived from facial expressions, or. as
he calls it, mouth gesture. Wallace
says that his attention was first di-
rected to the subject by noticing that
the Malays, when talking, INDICATED
direction by pouting out their lips. "
This is q mouth gesture by no means
unused by civilized people to-day.
Studying our own words, as 'there'
and "that,' the French "la" and
"cela," the German "da" and "das, "
he found that in pronouncing them
"the mouth had to be opened and the
lips naturally protruded." Mr.. Wal
lace draws many strange differences
from particular organs. The subject,
rs he says, is fascinating one, not,
however, wo think, easy to follow. be.

Cured tho Horse,

A young man in Alexandria visited
Washington few days ago and while
here purchased preparation for cur
ing horses of baking. He owns q
handsome animal that has this fault,
although otherwise it is very desir.
able horse. The preparation was to
be applied to the haulfs and was
guaranteed. He tested it upon a work
horse he possessed and it operated to
perfection. Then he invited q young
lady to go riding with him, and hitch.
ing his handsome horse to buggy,
started. When hill was reached he
applied the remedy. A moment later
the swingle-tree flew over his head
and the girl tainted, then the dash
board fell il. followed by crash as
the floor of the buggy received a blow
from the horses hoofs. At this juno
ture the animal started ahead, as tho
seller OF the remedy hae guaranteed.
He took the shafts and front wheels
with him, but LEFT the rest of the
vehicle and the occupants in the road.
The couple walked three miles to their
homes in silence, and the young m IN
called upon lawyer yesterday to
ascertain how much lie can recover
from the man who sold him the stuff,
as recompense for the loss of the
buggy and the affections OF the girl. -

Proof of What Ho Saw.

Every one would be interested in
pictures of the wonderful things peo.
pie see when they haven't q gun along.
We arc not likely to have that long
felt want supplied; but an ingenious
man has patented camera which is
to be attached to gun barrels. BY
this the amateur sportsman will be en-.
abled to tell without difficulty whether
he has shot an unoffending COW in
place of the expected bear, or brought
down his best friend instead Of brace
of birds. Tt will photograph the ex-
act spot at which the gun was aimed,
and will enable huntsman thus to
SEQ whether he wounded or killed the
thing at which he shot. The device is
easily removable, and the hunters
breast pocket serves as clark room''
for the records of his skill. New Or

A New Animal.

Once in q little while we hear that
some geologist has discovered, or con-
cocted, fossilized antediluvian beast
not yet down on the books. 4sBut the
discovery OF anything new in the ami
NAL and vegetable Kingdoms of to-day
is exceedingly rare. k ~ ~
sIhe greater aapst bslthe surprise Of
the scientific world at the find which
Professor e. O. Sterling, OF Adelaide,
lately made in the central desert OF
the Australian continent The newly
found animal is only small mole, but
like its big neighbor, the kangaroo, it
seems to be o remnant of period be-
yond the ken OF man. 1t resembles
the kangaroo, for the female has a
pouch in which to carry Its young.
Its general color is pale gray, re-
lieved on some parts by silvery and
golden tints.
The face OF this stranger presents
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 conc
and is bald.headed, so to speak. As
the mole has forty teeth, it is the
more liable to toothache. Professor
Sterling was astonished at the strength
of the animal demonstrated by tho
rapidity with which it uses its fore
feet, encumbered with enormous odd.
ly-shaped nails. With these feet and
tho horny snout it 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 its 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. -

The Florida Citizen says: Early last
spring rich man IN Chicago, after
earnest solicitation was induced to of
fer sum of money for original songs
especially suited to working people
and those in the common walks of life.
Alirst, second and third prize were Of
fered for the best songs. A smaller
prize was also offered for euch song
that received honorable mention by
the committee of awards. Prizes were
also offered for the best music to ac-
company these prize songs. The con-
ditions of this award of prizes were
published in most of the papers in the
country. The songs were to be re-
ceived and passed on by the commit
tee on awards. Then they were to be
given to the press for publication.
The intention was also to publish q
collection of the songs and accom-.
panying music and to sell copies at
about the cost of the paper and print
ing. The supposition was that besides
the three prize songs, several hundred
would receive honorable mention, and
exert powerful influence on the peo-
pie. Some believed that million
copies of the book would be disposed
of within few months. Six months
have passed since the offer of the
prizes was made. The outcome Of the
attempt to secure new and large
stock of songs for the people is very
discouraging. More than 5000 per.
sons have competed, but the commit
tee on awards finds but two compost
tions worthy of receiving prizes. The
first and second prizes have been
awarded, but the third has been with
held for the reason that no compost
tion has been found to merit its be-
etowal. Out of more than 5000 al.
legged lyrical poems only two are con.
sidered of sufficient merit to publish
or set to music. None of all the others
is regarded az worthy of honorable
mention. The two given out for pub.
lication have heen declined by most
newspaper editors. From this the
fact is evident that the great volume

SMILES.

Smile little, smile little,
As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile little, smile little,
All along the road;
Every life must have its burdCta
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink Fate's bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smilGs are bog
SONS
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem ha- .r
BY a sullen face,
Smile little, smile little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Der his task, waits wealth or glory;
he who smiles achieves
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
N the passing years.
Smile little, smile a little,
even through your tears.

Waits she with kiss for me.
Round my neck her ringlots fall:
She's the sweetest rose Of al!
"How much do you love me, Kisses
Little Kisses, crowned and curlej?"
Then with arms worldwide. she answers
"Love you-love you-all the world!'
Little Kisses at the gate
Whispers to the white rose, "Wait!
To the restless red rose she
Whispers: "Keep me company
And the red-rose petals fall
On the sweetest rose of all!
"How much do you love me, Kisses
Little Kisses, crowned and curledY
And the roses hear her answer:
'Love you-love you--all the world;
Little Kisses, at the gate
Linger not too late--too late,
Lest some lonely angel far
Wandering from loveless star
Where the earthly angels be,
Steal your face away from me
"How much do you love me. Kisses,
Little Kisses, crowned and curled?
Shall ever miss the answer:
Love you-love you-all the world!'
