lowed the discharge Of the guns. There
was a sound Of water in great commo-
ton for a moment and the next instant
the woods were filled with the crashing
Of the flying herd through the thick
brush. Ny guide and l sent the con-
tents Of our second barrels after the
caribou as they rushed in a confused
and thickly punched mass from the wa
ter. In less time than it takes TO tell all
was as quiet as if nothing had occurred
TO disturb the solitude Of the great
wilderness. In the water, their huge
hulks showing above the broad mat Of
lily pads, lay the dead bodies Of the two
old bulls we had selected as our first
targets. On the edge Of the lake, one
with his head in the water and his
TANKS stretched on the shore, and the
other with his antlers lifted high on
land, his hind parts buried among the
lilies, lay two other bulls, the victims
Of the two chance shots that followed
the herd in its fight.

panic stricken, and huddled together in

HE CARS ROpYGUARp.
VIII General Tcherevin's Death End One
Phase Of Russian Despotism?

Phase Of Russian Despotism?
The death Of General Tcherevin is an
event of some importance, inasmuch as
it is expected to lead to the discontinue
ance of the special institution which
the late general represented, and which,
in fact, he may be said to have created
1.-The special guard, composed Of a vari-
ETY. Of persons known and unknown, in
Guiding tho police Of the imperial resi-
dence, for the protection Of the person OF
the car At least it is rumored that the
late general is not likley to have sue
cessor in exactly the same position I'M
der the present young car, and indeed
the condition Of affairs now il so differ
ent from that which led to the creation
Of this extraordinary position in the
early years Of the last reign that in all
probability its continuance in its pres
ent form will be considered unneces-
sary. Its present machinery may simply
be incorporated with the other depart
ments Of the ministry of the household,
if not at once, perhaps after the corona
ton. In any case some change in this
respect is being discussed.
The high favor in which General
Tcherevin was held by the imperial
family was shown by the presence Of
the car and his imperial mother at the
bedside when the general breathed his
last. The removal Of the body to the
church Of the regiment Of horse guards
was also attended by most of the EN-
peror's uncles and cousins, and the
dowager empress was present at prayers
in the mortuary chamber before the
coffin was carried by troopers Of the
horse guards, followed by the digni-
taries Of the court and government and
members Of the imperial family. The
body will be taken by rail on Saturday
to the late generals estate in the prov
ince Of Kostroma
General Tcherevin distinguished him
self in the Polish campaign OF 1868 and
the Turkish war Of 1877. During tho
latter he was head Of the cars Cossack
bodyguard, which he commanded for
nine years From 1878 to 1880 he was
assistant chief Of gendarmes and head Of
the third section Of his majesty's cabi-
net, otherwise the secret political police.
Subsequently he became assistant minis
ter Of the interior. While he WAS in con-
troll Of the secret police an attempt was
made upon his life by a nihilist, whom
the general horsewhipped on the spot,
after disarming him Of arevolver. Alex
ander LII attached the general to his
person and gave him immense authority
in all that concerned his majesty's safe
~. He was therefore the constant COM
panion Of the late car, and, although
he was very fond Of good cheer, his keen
intellect was ever ON the alert to serve
PIE best interests Of his sovereign. Lon

The Earl Of Dunraven, finding that
there were too many pike in his waters
at Adare Manor, County Limerick, Ire.
land, for successful trout fishing, recent
" ordered his professional fisherman to
capture what he could of them. Thirty
four have been taken 80 far of an aver
age weight of 9 pounds each, the
largest weighing 23 pounds and the
smallest pounds. Why three-fourths
of them were females is not understood
at all. That there was need Of taking
out the pike is shown by the fact that
several of the fish contained trout, and
nearly all the females were heavy with
spawn. The pickerel fry feed on the
trout and salmon fry, being far better
fighters than equal sized trout.
The greatest Of care is necessary at
fish hatcheries to prevent the pickerel
fry from getting among the fry Of other
varieties. A dozen small pickerel in a
year will destroy thousands Of other
small fish, and the loss is considerable.

Rear Admiral Makaroff Of the Rus
sian navy" says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, "who was recently a guest Of
Charles H. Cramp, is one Of the most
figures Of modern European
naval history. Although only AZ years
of age, he is first on the list of Russian
rear admirals and is senior to large
number Of officers whom he superseded
by special promotion. He it was who,
during the last Turko- Russian war, was
regarded the Skokeloff Of the Russian
navy, and, like that great general, whose
portraits he resembles, was several times
promoted for his daring and enterprise.
His career in that war was an uninter-
rupted series of dashing attacks on Turk
ish ships in the Batum and other Turk
ish harbors of the Black sea, in which
his skill was second alone to his daring
That is why he is the senior rear admiral
at the age Of AZ years. He recently COM
manded the Asiatic squadron and is
now on his way home to assume COM
mand Of the Baltic feet. "

Forty Dollars a Pound For Dogs.

Forty dollars a pound was paid by a
wealthy New Yorker for two small dogs
Of new and fashionable breed. Every
dog has its day. Toy black and tans,
hideous dwarf pugs and striped skyes
have had theirs And now the Boston
terrier is strutting his brief hour. His
class was a striking feature Of the re-
cent dog show, and at the close Of the
exhibition Mr.. NJ. c. d. Borden, an en-
thusiastic amateur dog fancier, pur-
chased for 81, 900 the prize winning pair
in the Boston terrier class, Commission
er II and Champion Tipsy. Inasmuch as
Commissioner II or his mate will tip the
scales at 20 pounds, this is perhaps the
highest price yet paid, comparatively
speaking, for purely pet dogs. The Bos-
ton tCSrier is the fad Of the hour, being
even in higher favor than the collies,
for which some extravagant values are
claimed. They are a cross between the
bulldog and the English terrier, make
excellent house dogs, are bright looking
and intelligent and seem to combine all
the admirable qualities Of cleanliness
and courage peculiar to the strains from
which they came. They are. as rule,
brindle in color, with liberal white
markings. New York Journal.

A CHAMPAGNE HOOK.
And How the Story About 1t Served &
Double Purpose.


Double Purpose.
Here is q story Of a champagne hook,
related by the Washington Post: BY a
champagne hook is meant one Of those
metal beaks in a pocketknife which are
used in breaking the wires which secure
the cork in a champagne bottle. The
herS Of the story is Representative Hull
Of iowa.
Mr.. Hull and Congressman CHECKER
ing were going to Chicago on a train
together some time ago when Chickering
displayed knife which Hull at once be-
gan to admire extravagantly because 1t
had hook, which Chickering seriously
assured him was designed TO remove
stones which became fastened in a
horses hoof occasionally on rocky
road. A stone in your horses hoof is an
ugly thing to displace unless you have a
hook in Your knife, and Hull knew this.
"Well, governor, said Chickering,
with secret malevalence, knowing that
Hull represented a prohibition state, IF
you like the knife so well you may
have it. "
"Oh, no." said Hull Il wouldn' t
think Of accepting it. You might have
use for it some time on the road driv-
ing II your horse should ever gather a
stone in his hoof, you would greatly
miss this hook. "
That's all right, governor, said
Chickering. II know where l can pick
up another just like it. So you just take
il and remember me.
Hull accordingly accepted it, and on
reaching home showed it to his wife, to
whom he extolled the virtues Of knives
with hook attachment for cleaning
horses hoofs and rejoiced in his Won
derful possession.
Mrs. Hull looked at the knife and
then at her husband.
John, said she, "any man who has
served three terms as secretary Of the
state senate, been twice lieutenant gov
ernor and served two terms in congress
must be a pretty good man if he doesn't
know n champagne opener from hoof
cleaner"
The story leaked out, and one Of the
ayidious correspondents Of an Iowa pa
per wired it as a choice bit Of gossip
about state members. 1t was copied all
over the state and commented Oh in a
variety of ways.
About this time the congressman met
the correspondent who first published
the story. He was smiling all over.
lyon did me great service, Hull
said, wringing his hand affectionately,
"a great service. All the Prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view Of my igno-
rance and saying | must be an unusually
good man, while all the ants are insist.
ing that I'm a devil Of good fellow fol
imposing so successfully on my wife,
since l must certainly have known bet
ter. 1t works in behalf of my popularity
whether you take one view or the other. "
