THE FOX AND THE BOTTLE
Not a Fable, But a True Story Told
by q Sportsman

Down in little clump Of brush near
the Ramapo station little party of
hunters were walking slowly along with
guns ready for shot when the part
ridges they were looking for should be
flushed.
Back Of them, with tails stiff as ram
rods and trembling in every limb, were
two splendid bird dogs
The party walked into little clearing
and there stopped in surprise, for few
rods away beautiful fox was seen. He
appeared to be gnawing at some large
and heavy object, but when the men and
dogs appeared he rushed away, the dark
object hanging from his mouth ard trip
ping at every leap.
"Sic! After him there, boys!" yelled
one Of the men, and in a second the two
dogs were after sly bushy-tail, with
heads down, while their bayings made
sweet music.
The fox was hampered by the object
dangling from his mouth, and the men
were surprised that he didn't drop it.
When the dogs were few feet behind
the fox made a rush for an opening be-
tween the spreading roots of a huge
tree. He would have disappeared in an
other second, but the weight he carried
was a bar. 1t was too large to be taken
into the aperture, and the delay was
sufficiently long to let the first dog seize
the red-furred thief.
There was little squall and all was

SAILORS STUNNED THE JONAHS
A Case of Nautical Superstition Re
ported on Australian Sea

A remarkable story Of coincidence and
sailor superstition was told by the sur
vivors of the John Carey on their arrival
the other day at Auckland New ealand.
The John Carey, trading bark, ran into
dirty water and sprang leak, which at
last forced the captain and five others
to take to the only boat left uninjured.
They were picked up by the Ladybird,
another trader, which next day went
ashore a total wreck. Two days later a
third trader, the Brightwell, hove in
sight, and, being signaled by the sasta-
ways, sent boat to take them off. The
John Careys men were the first to en-
bark and, going through the surf, the
BrightwelPs boat was upset and the oc-
cupants were drawn on board half
drowned. At this disaster the Lady
birds crew set up the cry of Jonah"
The ]. C.'s people, they said, had beer
twice wrecked, and to embark with them
again was certain death. And 80 firm
was their faith in the old superstition
that when the Brightwell sent second
boat they actually refused to be RESCUED
preferring to stay where they were and
take their chance of another ship coming
that way to sailing in company with a
new crew of Jonahs! Accordingly the
Brightwell sailed away with the six sur
yivors, who must have experienced lively
and varied emotions when, the very rexl
day, q heavy sea broke on board, stove
one of the boats and carried away a
portion Of the bulwarks! However, the

"What Are We Here ForP"

Some two or three years ago party of
anglers, including a minister as one Of
their number, were fishing in the North
Woods, and when Sunday came the ques-
tion arose whether the party other than
the minister should not refrain from
fishing, out of respect to his feelings
One of the party, however, made bold
to ask him whether he thought it was
wicked to fish on Sunday, and he de-
clined to express an opinion on the ground
that he was there as an angler and not
by virtue of his calling, and that every
person must act according to the die
tates of his own conscience. He referred.
however, to the following incident. which
had occurred not long before within his
personal knowledge:
A man and woman called at the house
of minister for the purpose of being
married. After going through the pre-
liminary part of the service the minister
asked the usual question, do you, John,
take this woman to be your lawful, we'd
ded wife?' This was met by the re-
joinder, What in thunder do you sup
pose 1 came here for?"
The party other than the minister went
fishing, while he remained at home with
ample opportunity for rest and medi-
tation.-Forest and Stream.

The most interesting yacht at Trou-
Vile is that of the young Comte and
Comtesse de Castellane. 1t is big ship

1t looks more like war vessel than a
pleasure craft, but that is what pleases
the little noble. He likes his things to be
odd and different, and he had his eve on
the Valhalla long ago when she visited
New York in September, 1895, to attend
the American cup race. She is fitted
with triple expansion engines, las horse
power, and is lighted with electricity and
has two decks.

out yacht is better especially when 1t
is as Dig as an ocean steamer They have
a lot of guests with them and are gay
and entertaining.
They frequently come ashore for the
bathing, the balls at the villas and for
any other entertainment worth seeing.
L saw both the comte and comtesse
yesterday on the beach with some
French people. The comte was in white
duck, with pale baby blue tie matching
his eyes, and a white canvas yachting
cap on his flaxen curls.
Madame lie Comtesse was in a yacht
ing rig also, made of white serge with
buff trimmings and anchors worked in
black. 1t was unbecoming to her, but
she didn't seem to mind for she was
laughing gayly and making sport of the
bathers in her American French.-Chi-

many OF us were wise enough to profit
by it? But the other extreme will follow
again as surely as the rising of the sun,
and no syetem of finance, tariffs or any
thing else can prevent it. We are too
rapid a people. We can't march at our
average pace. Like the sun, we are
always ahead of or always behind the
meridian. The clock is the only thing
that keeps true time, The uncivilized
nations of the earth have no panics,
because they keep clock time in their
onward march, while the civilized ones
keep SUM- time. Let any of them get this
notion they are something ahead of the
average and give them currency enough,
and up they go, too, like the rocket to
descend like the stick. Witness Argen-
tina, still fiat upon its back
from the intoxication of rapid de-
velopment Mexico will go the
same way if not pretty careful.
Her safety so far has been in steady
head, but when her home manufactures
have overtaken the demand and run a
little ahead, when the world seems well
supplied with coffee and other things,
products of her soil, and people begin to
wonder whether they have not over
estimated the strength of the demand,
then will come her test If her people
keep well out of debt, as they usually
do, and do not try to ape the rich, which
is one of the virtues of the poor in Mex
leo, she will go through with but a light
depression. But if her people imagine
they have monopoly of all that is good
in the world, that the world is dying for
it and must have it, that because they
are Mexicans they can put on airs and
indulge in extravaganza that other ma
tions dare not attempt, neglect all busi-
ness prudence in cultivating the soil
and saving the profits of good seasons to
carry them over bad ones, Mexico, with
all its productive soil and great mines,
will see collapse as bad as any that we

over. When the hunters came to the
scene the dogs were worrying the life
less body of the pretty animal They
were driven away, and then the men saw
what had been the fox's downfall. 1t
was large brown bottle, pint bottle,
in fact. 1t was fast to the fox. About
one Of his long teeth the strong wire
used to fasten the cork had become
twisted and it was almost impossible to
twist it free.
1t was evident that the animal had
found the bottle in the woods and had
started to gnaw the cork out. The wire
became twisted about the long molars
of the little beast, and that accounted
for his poor run and quick death.
Poor little fellow!" said one Of the
men. His love Of liquor or curiosity
killed him. It's not the first death that
has been brought about by too eager
effort to get at the inside Of this kind
of bottle, but I never heard of fox
going up against 1t before, and with
fatal results, too. Let's see what's in 1t,
anyhow"
The bottle was broken and in 1t was
found a dirty and crumpled piece of
paper. 1t was carefully smoothed out,
and with some difficulty the men were
able to discern upon it the following
words:
Write to Charles McCann, 80 Ash
street, Buffalo and let him know where
you find this bottle. throw it away this
25th day of April. CHAS. M'CANN."
Saturday Mr. McCann was sitting at
his home when Western Union messen-
ger boy rang the bell and handed the
girl the following telegram:
Charles Mccain, 30 Ash street, Buffa-
10, N. Y: Your bottle and letter found
near Ramapo station on May 10. Will
write the interesting particulars tonight.

The promised letter arrived by yes
terday's mail and the astonishing story
of the fox hunt was the burden of the
interesting missive.

The book seems written solely as
guide to spectators and has no political
notions whatever. The spectators who
followed it certainly made money, while
those who needed its warnings and took
in sail can complain but little of the ef-
fects of the hard times.
All intelligent investigators have
found business, in this coun try at least,
a series OF waves, the highest being the
times of boom, the lowest the depres-
sion. The latter is sometimes preceded
by panic but often rot When it is, the
subsequent depre ssion is longer and
more severe, because of the liquida ton
that must ersue and from want of con-
fidence that the storm has blown over.
Mr.. Benner has simply taken these
waves for the fifty-four years preced-
ing 1875 plated them into curves with
figures and tables that are almost as
accurate as the diagrams of the wealth
.er, and then continued the line of the
curve to the end of the century. The
result is that to date he has hit it al
most exactly. About the only thing
that looks like error is in predicting the
present panic for 1891. But even in this
he is correct, for he says it will be world
wide. The Barings failed in 1891 and the
panic in this country really began in the
fall of 1892, though there was 10 open
run on the banks until the summer Of
1893. On page 142 Benper says for the
