Double Shots at Game.

The pride OF sportsman is to make
a good double at game. Take ruffed
grouse hunter, for instance. He puts
up two of the birds at once. They
go whirring off through the brush and
are brought down one after the other.
That makes the hunter happy.
A Texas deer hunter riding along on
horseback once saw couple of deer
leap from their beds and start off on a
jump. He dropped both, one with
each barrel; they were big bucks.
A hunter in Wisconsin saw three
bears fleeing away through the timber.
He killed two of them and wounded
the third so that he got it the next
day.
A German hunting hares with 16
gauge shotgun loaded with No. 3 shot
saw two deer running, one behind the
other. He killed them both at twenty
yards.
Men on the plains in the days when
antelopes were far more plentiful than
aow used to get within shot of bunch
and then, by shooting the leaders,
manage to get all the bunch. 1t was
the same with elk, while buffaloes we're
killed by dozens; but such shots were
not pleasing to the men who made
them in any other sense than that they
brought SO much money. This was
market hunting.

A. Surgical Operation.

DR.. Suttcr performed difficult sur
gical operation at the city hospital re-
Gently. James Hayes, barber, was
in his shop on Park avenue when the
building was destroyed by the tornado
of May 9th, and besides other injuries
had his right arm broken between the
shoulder aud the elbow. His arm was
set by surgeon, but for some reason
the bone did not grow together, aud he
has suffered great pain and been uu-
able to use his arm since. A few days
ago he applied to DR.. Sutter and ex-
planned the nature of his injuries. He
was told the only way to relieve him
would be to join the bone together by
artificial means, so a day was de-
cided upon for the operation. He was
placed on the operating table and
chloroform administered to aim. DR..
Sutter then made long incision in
the flesh and bending the arm at the
broken place, caused both ends of the
broken bone to protrude clear of the
flesh, to enable him to operate on
them without interference. He then
sawed of the rough end of each frac-
tured part, and smooth. even sur.
face was then secured.
He then sawed each end of the bone
half way through, about an inch from
The end, one being sawed on the top,
and the other on the under side, and
then cut each end lengthwise to meet
the cut previously made, thus taking
out piece of the bone an.
inch long aud half its thickness. Both
ends were then placed together and the
broken bone was mortised evenly and
smoothly. To hold the ends firmly
together hole was drilled through the
bones at the point where they were
mortised and an ivory peg driven into
the hole, binding the ends securely to-
gether. The incision was then sewed
up and the injured arm placed N
splints. Mr.. Hayes was then revived
and later in the day went to his home.
DR. Sutter says the arm will be about
an inch shooter than it originally WAS,
but otherwise it will give Hayes no
inconvenience after it knits firmly to-
gether, which will take about four
weeks The muscles, DR.. Sutter says,
will accommodate themselves to the
shortened length of the arm. st Louis

An Arizona Mummy.

An Indian mummy has been found in
Arizona, near Prescott, that is believed
to have once been one of the great men
of the Aztecs. Ii was found by John
r Rlundy. who communicated the
facts to George F. KunZ, the New YORK
diamond expert.
Beside the mummy was a basket
filed with a half peck of turquofses.
With the .AztecS green was sacred
stone, and wealth was gauged gener-
ally by the number of green stones
the person owned. Every mans trea-
sure in those days was buried with his
bones, and neglect to do this was re-
garded as highly sacrilegious. For the
nourishment of the departed soul few
ears of corn were added.
The turquoises Mr.. Blundy found
were in the form of beads. These the
Aztecs firmly believed saved the wear
or from fevers. serpents' bites and dis
eases.

Indians as Stock Ralseys.

Judge ID. NJ. Browning, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, has been visiting
a number of the coast Indian agencies,
and came to Salt from the Fort Hall
reservation.
MY observations on this tour emo
the experiences Of the bureau gener-
ally show that the Indian service is
improving" the Commissioner says.
"The government is endeavoring, as
fast az possible, and as far as treaty
stlpu1ations will permit, to make the
Indian self-supporting OF course,
the task is d difficult one, and many
failures must result before the desired
conditions are brought about, but we
are satisfied with the progress being
made. 1, is not expected that many
Indians will become professional or
business men. but it is believed that
they can be taught to be fairly good
farmers and stock raisers. Gradually
the lands of the tribes are being appor-
toned in severalty, and the tribal rela'
tionships broken up. Where the lands
are fit for agriculture, the Indians are
gwen implements, N3SoHS anu Seeu'
They are aided in the construction OF
houses, and then allotments are
fenced. In the dry districts where
stock raising only is possible, a few
lread of cattle are given each Indian,
Gnd the sale of their stock is prohib-
tied until they have certain number.
This plan has worked quite satisfac-
torily on the Sioux lands. When con-
tract for beef has been awarded, and
purchases under II are to be made, the
Indians are invited to sell surplus cattle
to the government at the contract price.
Not long ago at the Pine Ridge agency
GOO head OF cattle were bought from
Indians on these terms, and the red
cattlemen were naturally much pleased
with their success as stock raisers.

Decorating Skulls.

Professor Zuckekandl, the noted
Vienna litterateur, tells of very
strange custom in Salisbury, kaernten
and Tyrol, This is the decoration OF
the skulls of deceased relatives.
On account of the lack OF space IN
most country cemeteries in this part
of Austria, the graves have to be dug
up every eight or ten years. The rela-
tives OF the deceased receive notice
before the graves OF their beloved
ones are torn open, and the skeletons
are generally taken by them to the
bonehouse, where all bones are packed
one on top of the other, The skulls
are then given in charge OF the oar
penter of the village, who deoorates
tbem and then returns them to the
survivors Of the deceased.
