BAD COUNTRY FOR THIEVES.
How . Culprit Was MerciIeSsly
Lashed Down the Trail In
the Chllkat Pass.

Mr.. 81. D. Annable, Of Montreal, &c
cording to the New York Sun. received
q letter containing the following de-
scription of the way in which justice
IS melted out in the Chilkat pass re-
gion:
This is a bad country for thief.
There were two chaps just tried here
fer stealing an outfit from man on
top of the summit. They were caught
in the act and brought back TO Sleeps
Head. and tried and sentenced to he
hanged. The younger of the two. by
the name of Wellington. put Il gun TO
his head and finished himself. I;ie
other fellow, named Hanson, WAS tied
TO a tree, all his clothing taken Off.
and then dashed with two big ropes
fastened to a stick. The man who in.
flicted the punishment was supposed to
he the ablest man in the ramp. | va.
close to the affair; so close. in tact
that | had to hold my face back 10
keep clear of the ropes while lie wis
swinging them. 1t was a ha-d-iUnk.
ing sight. After they had done ais.
they painted him with the words Thief.
Pass him along and then started him
down the trail.
lie had been examined by doct tor
before the punishment, and they
whipped him until the doctor signa!ictl
for them to stop. In almost every
place the ropes struck him they drew
blood. When a man is caught stealing
up here they call n miners meeting.
and whatever they agree to do they
carry it out"

AUSTRALIAN MALLEE HEN.
Lays Her Eggs In Great Mound and
the Heat Of the Sun Hntches
Them OIt.

The strangest bird known, so far as
its habits are concerned. is the malice
hen of Australia. 1t lays it's eggs in
huge mound. which is really Il cuCnrra.
tive incubator, being built by rldny
pairs Of birds. and serving to hatch the
eggs Of all the hens. Each year the
same flocks repair to the sa me n,ur"ds.
some of which measure 50 yards al the
base and are $50 feet in circumference
The eggs are deposited about six inches
below the surface. While each hen lays
her eggs in the family mound, no hen
drops her egg closer than 90 inches TO
that Of her neighbor. These eggs are
deposited in n cavity made by them in
vertical position, carefully covered
and TIE surface smoothed over by the
hen before she quits the nest, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The eggs Of the malice hen are out of
all proportion to her size. They are as
large as those Of goose, and those of
large hens are very much larger.
The eggs thus!laid.and covered in this
great sand oven in the hot districts are
never again disturbed by the hens. The
eggs are Matched by the heat the sun
bakes into the soil where they lay. 1t
has never been known how the young
chicks are excavated from their egg
grave, for the eggs are deposited fully
six inches below the surface, and the
hardening rains do not aid their exit
very much.

moorings, or she will be speedily wrecked

corruption and venalty.
