buffaloes have been killed for their tongues,
no account having been made of their skins.
For long time every skin sent to the mar
ket represented about five buffaloes, the
others having been destroyed. Thousands
of buffaloes were killed by freight and
moonlight, the fires in such cases being
made for the purpose. During the year 1873
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road alone carried a quarter of a million
buffalo robes, and more than a million and
a half pounds of buffalo meat and during
the three years following 1872 more than
three million buffaloes were slaughtered by'
the white men, and of these 1SOO, 900 were
wasted. The great southern herd had been
annihilated by 1875. At this time the mar
ket had been overstocked with robes, and
the hunters got from 65 cents to s1.15 for
them.
There was then left only the great herd
of the northern part of the United States
Its destruction began in $780, at which time
about 100000 buffaloes were shipped out of
the country every year. The Indians of the
northwestern territory marketed about *
COO buffaloes year. AS soon as the rail
roads came into the country the hunters
came in, and in 1882 there were 5000 hunt
ers and skinners at work. They killed the
bufaioes by the thousands for their robes
getting from so to $3.50 apiece for them

Is worth from $500 to $500 for mounting

animal of the past. Such is the value of
dead buffalo. Live buffaloes for breeding
are worth much more and am told that
2he government buffaloss are worth from
81 900 to $1,000 apiece. At this rate the fifty
IN the Yellowstone Park are worth from
10000 to 100000. They are worth S25, 900
20 the hunters who can sneak in and kill
them in the wilds of the Yellowstone Park.
Suppose there were fifty $500 deer in the
Adirondack mountains; how long would 1t
be before they would be killed by hunters,
no matter what the laws might be? The
Yellowstone Park is four times as large rs
the Adirondacks, and is fifty times as far
from civilization The country about it
contains people who care nothing for the
buffalo or other game. except for the
money which they can get out of them.
When you think that half dozen such
men could clean out this herd in one day.
provided they could find 1t in one of the
many wild valleys, and thereby make
$4,000 out of the job, you get some idea of
the danger which exists.

HUNGER AND CANNIBALIsM.
The Desire to Eat a FellOw-Nau
Stronger at Sea Than on Land.

From ScieLce for All.
Then 1t comes to pass, when the mo-
ment of keenest agony is reached, that
the starving man begins to eye his COM
panion with the wolf-glare of a beast of
prey. His rargs become paroXysmal.
During their greatest intensity there
springs up within him fierce impulse tc
slay his neighbor THAI he may ;s.ed on his
flesh and slake his thirst with his blood
This terrible prompting to cannibaiism. it
may be noted, is, however, rare, save in
cases of famine from shipwreck.

quency with which even mothers will un-
der the goad of hunger, kill and eat their
children; and though startling assertions
to this effect have been made by historians
OF great sieges, yet it ought to be said
that, as a general rule, well-au. henticated
cases of cannibalism among civilized peo-
pie will be found to occur only at sea
They are very rarely found on land. And

have been reSignedly contemplating IL as
an imperative necessity a few hours before.
In the case of Ensign Prenties of the
eiShty-fourth regiment and his compan-
ions, who were wrecked on the barren
island off Cape Breton in $780, the differ
cree between famine on shore and on sea
is curiously exemplified. Prenties records
that they were able to endure the most
fearful pangs of hunger without ever so
much as thought of resorting to canni-
balism for relief, so long, however and only
so long as they kept on land. But when
they took to their boats-and it was not once
merely that they experienced this-in order
to escape from their rock-bounl prison.
though they were not whit worse off for
food than they were on land, yet the mo-
ment they put to sea with one accord they
began to think of killing and eating one
of their number On the other hard, when
they found their attempt TO escape futile

landed, the horrible idea of cannibalism

degree of intelligence. But such evidence
is not shown in their attempting to escape
from man. a hunter might lie with a re-
peating rifle near such a herd and pick off
one after the other without apparently
frightening or soaring the rest. If they ran
1t was usually against the wind, and they
were towards except when brought to bay.
At first the SKrS brought but little and the
temptation to kill was not so great Still
thousands were killed for the pure fun of
killing them. The southern herd, which
contained about four million, existed
as late as 1870, up to which time only about
half a million buffaloes year were killed
from it. As soon the railroads came in.
hunters came by the scores and, with
reech-loading rifles. killed the animals by
thousands. Capt. Jack Bridges killed by
contract LIP buffaloes Of this herd in six
weeks. Buffalo Bill earned his title by the
numbers of buffalo he killed in short time
and Mr.. Hornaday tells of one hunter who
told him that he had killed sixty-three

SssinninG Buffalo by Horse Power.
With some of these hunter murderers the
ordinary process of skinning was not fast
enough, and they invented way Of skin
ming the buffalo by means of horses. They
would cut the skin at the neck and down
the belly and around the legs at the knees
A stout iron bar like hitchng post, was
then driven down through the skull about
eighteen inches into the earth. Then a rope
was tied to the thick skin of the neck. The
other end OF the rope was hltched to the
whiffie tree of a pair of horses, or to the
rear axle OF wagon. The horses were
whipped up, and the skin was either torn
in two or torn from the buffalo, with about
fifty pounds of flesh sticking to it. This
method. however, was not a success, and
was soon given up. About fifty thousand

ter. The Smithsonian Institution has no
interest In the matter outside of scientific
Information concerning the buffalo much
OF which was collected by Mr.. W. r. Horn
aday. All ct this Information has been
placed at MI disposal, and through it I
am able to give some of the details Of one
OF the most disgraceful deeds of American
history.
Few people are now aware Of the former
wonderful extent OF the buffalo. No animal
has ever existed in such large numbers nor
covered so much territory. Buffaloes for
merly roamed over the country as far east
as w Washington city, and there are records Of
herds Of thousands being seen in Pennsyl-
Vania not long before the revolution. A
hundred years ago they came in great
droves to drink at the Blue Lick springs of
Kentucky. Daniel Boone speaks of them
and 1t Is now only a few years since they
existed by the millions on the great plains
OF the west. In 1871, now only twenty-five
years ago, Col. r. I. Dodge rode for fifty
niles through herd of buffaloes which he
estimated as being twenty-five miles wide
This was along the Arkansas river.
Four Million BuiYaIoes.
At one point he was able to get upon
hill. and he says he could see this vast herd
of buffaloes stretching out from six to ten
miles in every direction. The herd was
moving and it took it five days to pass a
given point. Prof. Hornaday says that
at the lowest estimate there were 1000.
OOO buffaloes in this one herd, and this,
as L have said, was only twenty-five years
ago. In 1865 a traveller along the Kansas
Pacific railroad states that the train at one
time passed through one hundred and TWEEN
ty miles of solid buffalo. The plains were
biackened with them and more than once
the cars were stopped by them The best
authority of the National Museum as to the
early buffalo is George Catlin, who spent
the greater part of his life in the west
studying the Indian, and who made many
pictures OF the buffalo as they existed be-
fore the great destruction began. He tells
or herds of millions and says that their
roaring sounded like thunder, and tells how
the Indians killed them by the hundreds of
thousands for the skins, for which they re-
celved only pint of whisky apiece
How the Buffalo Were Killed.
You would not think that such immense
Lerds could be wiped out. The buffalo,
however, are very dull beasts in many ways
They are mixture of stupidity and intelli-
sence which it is hard to understand These
mighty Eerds were made up of companies,
or clumps. CT buffaloes of from twenty to
cne hundred each, each clump being led and
taken care of by one strong bull. In going
for water one of the old cows of the clump
would start ahead and nose along the track
OF a dry stream for miles until it found a
waterhole, the others of that company fol-
lowing in single file. The herd would then
drink and would lie down to rest before
eating. This would seem to mean a high

How TO Have Pretty Hands.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The woman who would have pretty hands
should follow these directions: Wash them
in warm water with pure soap, and OCCASION
ally a little oatmeal Dry them very thor
oughly. After the night washing rub pure
cold cream into them and don loose, finger
less white kid gloves. Never go into the
street without gloves. Wear gloves which
fit easily. Tight ones distort the hand
Twice a week manicure the nails as fol-
lows: Soak them in soapy, warm water
scrub with nail brush, and clean with an
orangewood stick. Press back the skin at
the sides and base with the stick with
very sharp curved manicure scissors cut of
any hangnails or dry skin. Clip the nails
into oval shape. File them smooth with
sandpaper Ii they are inclined to be brittle
rub a little salve on them. Wash again,
powder, and polish with chamois, and wash
once more to remove any traces of the
powder.
Every day the nails should be rubbed with
lemon juice, which discourages the growth
of skin az i5c base
