Hoods pills f Tdod FsF sSP9aPa1iil, with


An English scientist, Professor A. G.
Haddon, declares that students should
spare more time from the investiga-
of the past to keeping a record of
forms of life that are daily becoming
extinct.
Many large and curious animals
have vanished from the earth within
recent years. The mon has gone from
New Zealand, the nepyornis from
Madagascar, probably within not
many centuries; the dodo has disap'
peared from Mauritius, the solitaire
from Rodriguez, the great aux from
Arctic shores, Steller's sea COW from
Behring'S Island, and half q dozen other
birds or birds or beast are either dead
or Just dying out. How long vii,
huge tortoises exist in the Galapagost
They have already disappeared, with
the fightless birds, from the Masca-
rene Islands. The bison, once so
abundant in North America, is now
comparatively scarce, and the big
game of Africa has become far less
numerous than formerly.
Races, too, are going, as the Tas.
manian has gone. The languages of
Polynesia are being destroyed or
mutilated, while in most nations the
folklore is beirg forgotten or mingled
with alien elements. For no one, in
the growing confusion of nations, il
the opportunity receding more quick
ly than for the anthropologist.
AT the present time civilization i
more active than at any other in wip
ing out forms of life which are no
necessary to it. Professor Haddol
wants a committee of scientists forme
to study this subject.

Gold in Siheria-

AS the opening up of Siberia draws
near, it may be interesting to point
out the laws and regulations thai
govern gold hunting in that iar-awa,
country that will be within Easy reaei
of civilization in three or four years.
According to a recent ukase, ''taye
shulks" (prospectors) are quite vel
come to the White Cars domains
provided the local authorities of tn,
district approve of their character,
Hebrews alone being excluded. The
local authorities will issue a permit o
prospectors, and once a gold hunter
has found yellow metal he is at liberty
to stake of a claim. This, however,
must not be more than three miles anC
a half in length and from 500 to 1000
feet in breadth. All claims are regis
tered and forfeited to the crown if moi
constantly worked.
Advices from Russia say that thou
sands of abandoned claims are at the
disposal OF new corners, the crown be.
ing only too willing to give them up.
The reason for the Wholesale abandon.
ment of claims is that up to the presen,
time Siberian gold hunters pursue the
work OF mining in the most primitive
manner, there being little or no IN.
derground work. There are said tc
be splendid openings far hardy adven
turers carrying other machinery aut
implements besides a shovel and
pick. New York Journal.

ROOM FOR A FLOCK.

Fifty hens have been probably kept
in one flock, hut it is conceded that
in order to do so each hen must have
about five square feet OF space or moro
on the floor of the house; hence the
poultryShouses used have been about
twelve by twenty feet for a flock of
about that numbe4 1t is possible
that forty hens will give as good re-
suits as fifty. as tdP many hens to-
gether will not thtve. They must
compete with one another. and the
domineering hens will keep some of
the other hens under subsection.
With plenty of ROOF and ample space
for foraging, there is less liability of
competition, and all members of the
flock will have better opportunities to
assist themselves. Farm and Fire

The Cleveland Children.

Mrs. Cleveland successfully kepther
children secluded from the public

park we're always looked when the
family were in Washington (; but those
who caught a glimpse of the ex-Presi-
dents domestic life describe 1t as one
OF ideal happiness. He has collected
one OF the largest children's libraries

every patriotic toy manufacturer and
dealer in the country had sent some
contribution for the amusement of
these little ones. Mr.. Cleveland's
Office is no forbidden precinct, and
both Ruth and Esther effectually prove
that he does not exert much authority
over them. Some friends OF Mr..
Cleveland had just returned with him
from a fishing expedition one day, and
they had seated themselves in the
private Office at Gray Gable to have q
cup of hot tea before removing their
wet garments, when a patter of little
feet was hsard along the hall, and In
rushed the babies. Fearing they might
soil their dainty white slips by contact
with his muddy boots, the ex-President
endeavored by gentle means TO check
their demonstrations OF affection; but
Esther caught his extended hand and
swung upon it, and as he elevated his
foot to form a barrier in front of
Ruth, she jumped upon it and began
to ride horse in the most approved
fashion. The white slips were soon
sadly dirty, and their papa's tea
spilled.

mother, as she entered and beheld the

A Strange Occurrence.

That a pigeon should have strength
enough or weight enough while flying
to break the heavy glass of a locomo-
tive headlight seems strange, but such
a case occurred on the Iron Mountain
Railroad in Missouri. When the train
pulled into Bismarck it was discov-
cred that the headlight was broken,
and inside was found perched q pigeon.
When the train left the previous
station the glass was unbrokei! so that
the pigeon must have flown against it
or been struck by it while flying, and
broke it. The strange occurrence hap
pened in broad daylight, SC that the
bird was not attracted by the light,
as it might have been had it been
night. -Detriot Free Press.

Russian Hounds For Western Wolves.

Fl. n. Murphy, of Fargo, got in
here to-day from Chicago with five
great Russian stag-hounds destined
for the Murphy ranch in "Dakota
Bad Lands" Tho hounds are i'm
mense, bristling, Notwithstanding
creatures, but they are as kind and
gentle as pet poodles, and only ex.
hibit their fighting qualities in the
settlement OF personal differences or
WHEN engaged in q chase.
1--WE have been trying for a long
time to get hold OF some of these
dogs" said Mr.. Murphy, "but they
are in great demand among the ranch
ers of Montana and North Dakota that
it is almost impossible to buy one up
in that country. The Russian is the
best wolf hound in the world. He will
tackle a gray wolf single-handed and
chew his head off in very short order.
They are the most powerful houndi
in existence, and we hope in time te
have a large pack on our place.
"The rayages of gray wolves among
horse herds On the ranges are q
severe loss to ranchers every year.
Last season we lost seventy.tive colts
out of a herd OF 600 Norman horses
and the wolves are on the ~increas,

Russian hounds are absolutely fea1

dogs to herd the horses, and it seem
that they ought to prove effective il

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Recipe for cleaning copper is to wet
a coarse cloth in hot water, soap it
we'll, and apply to the copper. Then
sprinkle powdered borax over it, and
polish with n dry cloth.
Clearness in water is no sign of
purity. 1t may contain many germs
invisible to the naked eye. Spring
water is considered the best hat can
be obtained, and shallow we'll water
is generally the worst.
When cleaning a stove, q little soap
rubbed on the rag used for cleaning,
before the blacklead is put on, lightens
the labor OF cleaning and improves
the appearance of the stove. 1t should
be polished with a dry cloth.
To clean fine lace. spread it out on
white paper and cover with calcined
magnesia; place another paper over
it, and lay away under a heavy weight
for a few days. All that is necessary
after that is to shake out the powder.
Goldfish skins can be used as a sub
stitute for egg in settling coffee.
Scrnpe the outside of the skin and
clean all flesh from the inside. rinse
in cold water and cut in two inch
squares and then dry. Ono piece will
settle coffee for six persons.
To make Goldfish balls, simmer to-
| gether equal quantities of raw fish
and potatoes-cut in small pieces
until the potatoes are thoroughly
cooked. When done, drain and mash /;
add q dash of white pepper, a little
sweet milk and butter, and tue beaten
white of one egg for every cupful of
the mixture. Fry in hot fat, drain
