REMARKABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Killing Four Caribou Out of Five at Long
Instances

Killing Four Caribou Out of Five at Long
Distances.
A party of four of us left here for
the upper part of the state for a four
days hunting trip on Feb. -, says a
Bath (AIe.) letter to the Army and
Navy Journal. There vas one man
among us, Orderly Sergeant Richard
son, U. S. A., at Fort Popham, Me-,
still in the service. On the third
morning three of us-the sergeant, an
other, and myself-left camp together
in search of game, the snow falling
thick, but calm; no wind. We had
not gone more than q mile from camp
when we saw on the nextridge Ia hill
side) five caribou standing on the bill
side in such open place that it was al
most impossible to get nearer them
without being seen. After a wait of
some time for them to change their
position, that we might advance nearer
and get a shot of more certainty, our
silence was broken by the sergeant's
remark that he had killed deer as far
away as that, and thought he could
kill one of these. We all agreed to
let him take a shot, and estimated the
distance at 500 yards. When he got
in his position, which he calls the
Texas grip, and selecting the one on
the right, told us to look out for him,
at the crack of his rife, to my great
surprise, down came the animal with
his back broken. The others being
bewildered, ran in q circle like, stop
ping to a standstill somewhat nes1er
to us. All hands estimated $50 yards.
Again he selected the one on the tight,
and at the crack of the gun again the
animal dropped, shot through the
heart. The other three leaped off in
another direction, as we estimated
600 yards. Then the sergeant ad-
justed his sights to that distance, and
to my greatest surprise he killed the
third II The other two separated,
and one of them came back near the
first n that was shot, when he stood
broadside to us and the sergeant fired,
but shot low and broke both front legs
Just above the knee. After a little
skirmishing about in the brush we
found him, and one more shot from
the old Springfield rife, with the SER
geant behind it, gave us four out of
five caribou, and only five shots fired,
and by only one nan at that. We
went into camp with flying c%olors, and
were the centre Of attraction that
evening.
One of the party inquired of tho
sergeant where be had obtained such
proficiency in craftsmanship. when
he pulled his coat open and exhibited
a splendid gold badge from the army,
a distinguished marksman's medal,
by him in 1889 in the division
competitor of the army, Department of
the East. Our party were on this
hunt for several days, and killed SIX
deer, two elk, and four caribou, of
which Sergeant Richardson killed four
caribou, three deer, and one elk, and
he killed them all over 400 yards, ex-
cept one deer, which he shot on the
run, and and about $50 yards distance,
breaking his neck.

Victims of a Curious Habit,

A Wall street broker, after finishing
the writing of a letter one day recent
~, blotted it three times with the
blotter, sealed it, and then patted
down the gummed edges of the
envelope with three little pats, and
when he put the stamp on it he said
softly to himself, "One, two, three,
stamp"
"What on earth did you count three
for when you stampedthat enyelope?"
asked a man who had watched the
broker.
"Did I? Well, didn't know it,"
was the reply. "You see in me a
confirmed victim of the one-two-three
habit, and when it is once acquired I
know of no way of breaking It. The
game was taught to me when I had a
safe under my control in bank by an
old victim. It was necessary that this
safe should be properly locked every
night, and one night I neglected care
lessly to do so. This man told me that
a good p%recaution was to count one,
two, three whenever I locked it. I
got into the habit of doing so, and fol-
lowed his lead, I applied the one-two-
three precaution to every important
action that I did. When I signed a
check I read my signature over three
times. If I had a decision to make, I
counted three before making it, and
always when I turned off the gas T
would hold the cock closed and co,7nt
three to make sure of it. The habit
has SO grown on me that I do every
thing by it now. I'm not the only
victim. | know a score of one-two-
three men among my acquaintance,
and the disease, if it is a disease, is
spreading. Try it yourself for a day
or two, and you will find yourself a
confirmed one-two-three man. It has
saved me from making several serious
mistakes, but at times it is an awk-
ward habit. New York Sun.

Shooting Seal.

At first thought it would seem that
it ought not to require any skill or ex-
perience to kill a sleeping seal at a
distance of only 80 yards, with a load
Of seal buckshot, but the conditions
make it very difficult. The seal lies
more than half immersed in the water,
his body moving up and down, and
sideways, following every motion of
the sea; the boat is also moving and
swaying in every direction. and the
hunter must balance himself with his
gun at his shoulder, his mark the head
of the seal, which is constantly roll
ing from side to side, though sound
asleep. At first [ would often shoot
over or under them as much as two
feet, and I found it more difficult
shooting than over the traps, or at
the swiftest flying bird. When the
seals are awake, "breaching," or
travelling" the difficulty is greatly
increased. Take a gun some day and
try your hand at a preaching salmon,
and you will get some idea of seal
shooting, without the unsteady boat.

It is to be borne in mind that Spain

It is to be borne in mind that Spain
is such a little thing she could DO
picked up and laid out in Texas and
Texas would still have 76, 1856 square
miles of territory to spare. Four Of
our states taken together have a greater
population than Spain has, and their
people are far more intelligent, too.
Only n nation in Europe is lower
in the scale Of general enlightenment
than Spain. Sixty-eight per cont. of
her population can neither read nor
write. and her credit is about as bad
as it can be. The biggest thing il
Spain is her national debt.

The New York Sun recently con-
tanned an account of O New York
policeman who ! is also a preacher.
This worthy man, who is much es-
teemed on the force, is a Methodist of
the old shouting, praying, exhorting
kind. He believes in muscular Chris
tianity, in fearing God, fighting the
devil, and arresting rogues, and pur-
sues all these ends with apparently
equal zeal and success. This yigor-
GUS brother says Of himself that he is
q better policeman for his religion.
He is not afraid to die, and he believes
in law and order.

Monkey Dea.h Masks.

Chicago's colony Of monkeys is be-
ing rapidly depopulated as the result
of the terrific climate. As many as
twenty-five promising simians have
succumbed and the survivors now in
the Lincoln park "Zoo' are looking
very tired and weary of life.
But what the little Chicago boys and
girls have lost by the extinction of
their monkey pets science has gained,
for a fine collection of monkey death
masks has been secured with many
additions in sight.
The most notable contribution of
this kind which has come into the
hands OF Professor Woodruff is the
face Of Tess, the famous chimpanzee.
AS he was preparing the body for
mounting he said:
"When this epidemic began the
idea came to me that a series of simian
death masks would be Of no little
scientific interest and value, to say
nothing Of the novelty Of such a col
lection. Accordingly, / at once be-
gan making the casts, and the results
are even better than I had expected.
In pursuing this work / have been i'm
pressed with two facts: The pro-
nounced individuality Of the faces and
the varied degrees of suffering indi-
Gated in the expressions Of the pathetic
little countenances. In the face Of
Tess, undoubtedly the most wonder
full and intelligent creature Of her
kind ever known TO civilized man, may
be traced the lines of calm and pa
tient resignation. New York Journal.

The Swan and the Pike.

The following accident was de-
scribed to me by a friend who heard
it from the lips of the man who saw
it. Ny friends informant, a labor
ing man, passed on his way to work
every morning a pond on which were
swans. One morning he saw a swan
with its head under water-no I'M
usual thing, SO he thought nothing of
it. The next morning it was in ex-
actly the same place and position.
Still, that was not remarkable, and he
passed on. On the third morning,
seeing the swan in the same position,
he called the attention of the keeper
to it. The keeper proceeded to ex-
anime, and found that the swans
head had been swallowed by a largo
pike. Both, Of course, were dead

known clergyman of the Protestant
Episcopal church, was a chaplain in

was the Sabine, then at New London.
Twice during his ministry Of forty
years DR.. Hitchcock declined the
honor Of an elevation to the episco-
pate, believing that he could do bet

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Training is the art Of gaining.
Quietness is the magnet of peace.
Good works are the voice Of faith.
Patience is the barometer of faith.
Influence is the magnet of character.
Capability is the polestar of position.
Truth is the dynamite gun Of revo-
luton.
Discipline is the crucible of respon-
sibility.
In forgiving a fault, we may inspire
a virtue.
Temptation is the balance where
character is weighed.
Conscience makes towards of only
those who fail to obey it.
Love has emulation without strife,
unity without uniformity.
To put works against faith is to con-
trast the tree with its roots.
Ones faith shows less what he is
tha@-vhat ne is trying to be.
Beware IF prosperity; luxury was
the death-knell of Rome's vigor.
Those who worship wealth, will bow
in alteration before good clothes.
knowledge and wisdom make a
strong team when hitched together.
"Penalty of violated law" would be
an appropriate epitaph for half the
dead.
Cultivation that will not permit the
conscience to stand erect, is unworthy
the name.

A new locomotive, built for the
Midland road, in England, made three
quarters of a mile at the rate of ninety
miles an hour. AS this is a better
record than others reported in 1895,
1896 and 1897, the achievement pro-
vokes great delight among railroad
people on the fright little, tight little
ISLE" Excusably, too. It is almost
equal to some of the spurts of New
York Central trains between Batavia
and Buffalo, where a rate of one hun
dred miles and hour has been ex-
ceeded.

require to go there and maintain them

The Women of Burmah.

Women in Burmah are perhaps freer
and more contented than they are any
where else in the world. Although
Burmah is bordered on one side by
China, where women are held in con-
tempt, and on the other side by India,
where they are kept in the strictest
seclusion, Burmese women have
achieved for themselves and have been
permitted by their men to attain a
freedom of life and action that has no
parallel among oriental peoples. The
secrect lies probably in the fact that
the Burmese woman is active and in
dustrious, while the Burmese man is
indolent and often recluse. Becom-
ing, therefore, both by taste and habit,
the money Garner, the bargainer and
the fnancier of the household, she has
asserted and obtained for herself the
right to hold what she wins and the
respect due to one who can and does
direct and control. Things are
strangely reversed in Burmah. There
man is the religious soul of the Ma
tion and woman its brain. Burmese
women are born traders, and it is
more often the wife than the husband
who drives the bargain with the Eng
lish buyer for the paddy harvest. or at
any rate she is present on the occa-
sion and helps her easy-going husband
to stand firm. SO highly is trading
esteemed that the daughter OF well-to-
do parents, and even young mar
ried woman, will set up booth in the
bazaar, and gowned in bright skirt
and white jacket, with flower jaunt-
lily stuck into her coiled black tresses,
she will start every morning with a
tray of sweetmeats, fruit or toys ON her
head, and, with a gayety and grace born
of the sunshine and the bounteousness
of the land, will push brisk trade all
through the short and sunny day. The
earnings made thus are the woman's,
and cannot be touched by her hus-
band.-Chicago Times Herald.
