Maine still Pays Bounty and Last Year
Raised. It.
Maine paid bounties on 1862 seals
and on 305 bears in 1895. In 1894 only
1856 seals and $50 bears were killed. The
increase of seal killing is due to a so
cent increase of the bounty, making it
one dollar. The bears have been thinned
out by extensive killing. Why there
should be n bounty on seals is plain,
says the New York Sun, to those who
know that in a single year a seal con-
sumes 1850 pounds of fish, which would
make 6,06O,30O pounds saved by the
killing Of 1862 seals in 1895. Most OF
the fish eaten are coarse-grained, such
as are used in batting lobster pots
sculpins, founders, tomcods, etc.-but
not a few valuable fish, like herring,
salmon and mackarel, are killed by
these animals. Much difficulty is ex.
perienced by seal hunters in securing
all of the animals killed. Many badly
wounded ones escape, and probably
more than 1000 seals were killed during
1895.
No one knows exactly why bounties
are paid on black bears. They are HARM
less animals, according to competent OBJ
servers, feeding on .beechnuts, wild
fruits of various kinds, on carrion, and
roots of plants. seldom if ever molestinp
farmers in any way. Maine pays five
dollars and New York ten dollars a
head for killing these good natured
creatures.

How the eybarltes' Enemies Arc Said to

Born originally in Greece, it had its
renascence in Italy, and Grisoni and
Fiaschl must be acknowledged the true
fathers of the art, however ready we
may be to admit that the courts Of
Francis I. and Henry w., by early adop-
ton of the offspring, adorned it's devel-
opment with the courtly grace, luster
and urbanity of French influence, which
made the menage the art of the princes,
as another nation and age made hawk
ing the sport of kings.
"They say" wrote Ben johnson,
princes learn no art truly but the art
of horsemanship. The reason is, the
brave beast is no flatterer. He will
throw a prince as soon as his groom"
The Greek theory of education, as we
find 1t in Plato, was of a twofold kind:
"One Of gymnastics relating to the
body, the other of music for the sake
Of a good state of the soul;" briefly, as
Mr.. Pater expresses it, "a gymnastic
fused in music" This system of edu-
cation the Greeks applied no less to the
training of horses than Of men. In the
earliest eXtant treatise on riding,
Xenophon pointed out that horseman-
ship, like dancing, was dependent fun
damcntally on the play impulse, that
for anything to be done well it must be
done for pleasure; what the horse
does under compulsion is done without
understanding, and there is no beauty
in it any more than if one should whip
and spur dancer" The horse must
become an artist, too, in his manner,
and use his limbs with hythmical free
DOM
So far was this carried that Athenaeus
relates how the Sybarites taught even
their horses to dance at their feasts to
the music of the flute; and on one &C.
casion their enemies put their knowl-
edge Of this habit to humorous account,
by taking out flute players to battle and
winning the cavalry over to their side
by causing the horses to dance to q
eavorite air, just as the Pied Piper
played the rats of Hamelin into the

Big Strike at at Badger.

Geo. G. Richie and John Kin.
caid who are at Badger in the Elk
district have struck a very rich
quartz ledge, said to be the richest
large body of ore ever found in the
country. The find has created a
great excitement even in that dis
trict Of rich prospects. The find
was purely accidental. George
Richie was hunting his pack horse
in the morning after a restless
night. He found a horshoe by the
trail and George being somewhat
romantic stepped aside to pick it
up for luck. He struck the tails
manic horse shoe upon a stone to
jar off the dirt. The blow broke
the rock and revealed rich piece
of float. He and Kincaid followed
up the indications and after sew
eral days of hard work located the
ledge and uncovered three feet of
solid free gold ore that glistens
with nuggets like the stars in the
milky way.
