GAME SEASONS CLOSE CLOSE BY.
Tomorrow the Last Day for killing
Birds.


The game season will close tomorrow.
After March Is passes sportsmen are pro-
hibited by law from indulging in the de-
lights afforded by trip afeld with gun
and dog.
Two or three years ago the limit of the
shooting season was changed, the game
being given greater chance. There was
danger of all of it being exterminated in
short order unless some legislation were
adopted for its protection. A month was
cut off from the season at its opening and
fifteen days at its close. Many of the
legislators whose eloquence resounds
through the capitors hall are ardent
sportsmen. Their own inclinations to have
the game of the state protected were back
ed up by petitions received from SPORTS
men of all sections, and they were sue
cessful in getting the season shortened.
1t was shown that all kinds of game IN
Georgia were rapidly being swept away
by the storms of shot that were fired for
six months during the year with the con-
sent OF the law, TO say nothing of the
inroads made upon the supplies Of young
birds and beasts for the coming seasons

Not Their Exact Words.

The general tendency to look at the
actions of others through ones own par
ticular spectacles is frequently observed.
Perhaps not SO often noticed, however,
is the habit of unconsciously rendering
anothers speech into ones own Ian
guage.
A Boston girl who had been taking
her first lesson in bicycle riding ex-
pressed her satisfaction at home at the
result of her experiment.
"The man said" she repeated, "that
l had made most satisfactory progress
for novice"
"Why, did he really say that?' was
the surprised query.
"Well, no." answered the Boston
young woman, after a moments reflec-
tion. "What he did say was you II do
fust rate for new beginner. ."

"that the equilibrium is now admirably

Mutilating the Teeth.

1t is curious to what an extent the
mutilaton of teeth goes on among say.

civilized people, such as the japanese.
With them girl is never married with

repulsive kind of varnish, and the GUS
tom is especially adhered to among
members of the richer classes.
On the west coas. of Africa large
proportion of the teeth are deliberately
broken when children reach certain
age. Both in the new world and the old
the custom exists of extracting the two
front teeth of domestic servants. In
Peru the custom has existed from time
immemorial and used to be sign of
slavery in the days of meas. This is al
so the custom on the Kongo and among
the Hottentots. Teeth are stained in
various colors among the Malays.
A bright red and a bright blne are
not uncommon, and bright green is
produced with the aid Of arsenic and
lemon juice. Livingstone related that
among the Kaf1irs child with a prom
inent upper jaw was looked upon as a
monster and Immediately killed. On
the upper Nile the negroes have all
their best teeth extracted in order to de-
stroy their value in the slave market
and to make it not worth While for the
slave traders to carry them off.-Pear-

African Lion and Buffalo Bull.

The large horns of these buffalo arc
significant of their immense strength;
their legs are very short and powerful.
Though the lions make prey of them, it
takes two or thr& to pull down bull.
The African lion of this section is tho
largest species of its kind, but unless i'll
packs will not attack an African buffalo
bull. When fighting, the bulls are yer.
quick on their feet, and they use not
only their horns, but their front feet
also, which often prove the more dan
gerous weapon. My guide, who has
lived in this country for the past ten
years, relates many stories of men who
have been mauled by lions and who
have escaped death, but he knows of no
instance where tho African buffalo has
left human being until the life was
trampled out of him. Arthur G. Hum

Shark ChArlners.

In the Persian gulf the divers have a
curious way Of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers and will not descend without
their presence. To meet this difficulty
the government is obliged to hire the
charmers to divert the attention of the
sharks from the fleet. AS the season
approaches vast numbers Of natives
gather along the shore and erect huts
and tents and bazaars. At the opportune
moment-usually at midnight, SO as to
reach the oyster banks at sunrise-the
feet, to the number Of so or 100 boats,
puts out to sea. Each Of these boats
carries two divers, steersman and o
shark charmcr and is manned by eight
or ten rowers. Other conjurers remain
on shore, twisting their bodies and
mumbling lamentations to divert the
sharks. In case man eater is perverse
enough to disregard the charm and at.
tack a diver an alarm is given, and no
other diver will descend on that day.
The power OF the conjurer is believed
to be hereditary, and the efficacy Of his
incantations to be wholly independent
Of his religious faith. H. Sweet

long ago, when youthful daughter OF
wealthy German brewer visited an

books on heraldry, finally ordered enc
coat of arms for her own use which
combined the prettiest features of those
belonging to three great English houses.
Her youngest sister, not to be outdone,
ordered one for her notepapor and books
which contained devices from five old
English houses not one of which coin

amazed engraver endeavored to expos

would listen to his argument, "They
