HUNTING THE KANGAROO

Exciting Sport for the Sportsmen Of the Aus.
trnIlan Island Continent
There are two ways of hunting kan
garoos In Australia, one followed by
native hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround herd of
the animals. narrow the circle and then,
when the kangaroos dash at them in
wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly called
waddies. 1t is lively work for the ma
tive. The kangaroo uses it's hind legs
viciously and with great judgment, and
dogs, horses and men have been torn
open by the nails of its hind feet.
The white men prefer to follow the
kangaroos with dogs. Every herd of
kangaroos has leader. known as the
old man. or boomer, which warns its
followers of the approach OF danger by
stamping the ground with its hind feet,
making booming sound that starts ali

like foxhounds but Of greater size and
strength. Women and men Join in the
sport, riding to the hounds on good
horses.
Riding to the place where a herd Of
the beasts had been seen the day before
by bushmen," Sportsmen's Magazine
writer says. I'VE came to the bush,
growth of ubiquitous trees and tree
ferns fit to brush one off his horse. Quiet
was the word Of caution passed when we
came near the sparsely grown ground
beyond the bush where the kangaroos
had been seen. The dogs were called in
and then we rode from the bush into full
view of the herds sentinel, and then
away went the kangaroos, followed by
the dogs. The kangaroos could not run,
but, folding their forelegs across their
breasts, they sat down. Then, with
tail and hind legs. away they went by
hops, no hop being less than twenty feet
long and others more than thirty feet.
They cleared shrubs twelve feet high.
"Curiously enough the kangaroo trav-
els faster up hill than down, the dogs
catching up on the down slopes. The
beast sometimes breaks its neck while
running down hill by going head over
heels. The does began to throw their
young out of their pouches and we knew
they were hard pressed. They turned
suddenly for the water. We found the
dogs at waterhole with two boomers
at bay. We dlsmounted, and, drawing
our knives, waited an opportunity to run
in and hamstring them. A dog rushed
in and was caught by a hind leg of a
boomer and pressed under water, where
1t was quickly drowned. Then a dog
got one Of the beasts by the back an1
threw 1t, whereupon my cousin quickly

nose with my whip, killing it. We had
kangaroo tail soup and steaks for din

Of the situation is that the disease is Of

wish to to leave. The railroads say
they can handle the greatest crowds.
Dr.. Guiteras, after brief investiga-

report to Surgeon General Wyman at
Washington:
'The diagnosis Of yellow fever, made

soon pushed its way into the cell rooms,

the five prisoners and then dragged
them to tree q square from the Jail

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Postmaster
General Gary is devoting considerable
attention these days to an Investigation
Of the wisdom of establishing postal
saving banks. When in the last con.
gress bill was sent to him providing
for such institutions, he declined to on.
dorse it because, as he said, he had not
had an opportunity to investigate the
subject. He has since taken up the
matter, reading all the literature bear
ing upon it he could procure and seek.
ing opportunity todiscuss it's merits.
The result is that hs has become con.
vinced of both the wisdom and utility
OF postal saving institutions, and has
decided to have bill prepared provid-
ing for their ablishment, and to rec.
ommend its passage by congress. In
all probability he will treat the subject
in his annual report at some length.
He has not yet decided upon the details
Of any plan, but will soon give his at.
tention to them.

"These young men," (referring to

that the bronchos and range horses

twenty-four hundred miles in ninety
days, and subsist on grass and water
along the route, without grain, and,
more important still, from a military
point of view, without being shod. !

zone of the important features pos
sessed by the range horse is small,
hard hoofs, which will stand the
wear of paved streets or rough coun.

gent, ambitious, tractable and endur-
ing than those grown by breeders and
farmers in the middle and eastern
states. In 1898, only 500 horses were
sold in Chicago for export. This
year the number will exceed fifteen
thousand, or thirty per cent of the
total number disposed Of in this mar
ket. The French army has taken a
great many. We believe the per-
Torrance of the horses which just

the German and English army agents
