Hunting wild HOsn.

l.. Fielden of that State, at the Raleigh.
In the swampy lands along the Gulf
these wild hogs have their habitat, and
to hunt them it is best to have several
companions and numerous dogs that
understand the ways of tho feroc;OLs
porkers. The dog will find tho game
for you. bay it and hold it in check un-
Til you can take shot or two. Then
everything depends on your aim. II
you succeed in piercing a vital part
with your Winchester bullet, all is
over except dragging the carcass TO
some convenient point where 1t can be
handled.
but dangerous is your position II
your aim is trifie defective and YOUR
shot only wounds the animal Some
good and true shooting must be done

seen more than one of these old boars
shot through the body twenty or more
times, and in that condition fight man

fired into his head.
"In the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no Roadway through the tall
rank grass and DOGGY soil. and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. 10,
these reasons he Is compelled to kin
his game when once it is flushed. or he.

their flesh Is Of very pleasing flavor

from his wagon a rack containing Soy

Dog-Tight Gates.

According to recent decision of a
Prussan court the railroads in that
country must have dog;tight crossing
gates, or stand liable for any canine
injuries resulting from failure to do
so. Some time ago, while the gates
were closed at railroad crossing in
Munster, an aristocratic huntingdon.
In the active pursuit of his vocation,
sluded the obstacle and struck the
track at that point spontaneously with
an express train. The train passed on
unscathcd says Law Notes, but the dog
had to be picked up with sponge.
In suit by the owner to recover $50
damages for the taking off of his blue.
blooded pet, the railroad company
claimed that 1t had performed its whole
luty in shutting the gates, and that il
she dog was so ill-mannered as TO
1imb over or crawl under in the face of
such manifest desire to exclude him
hen the blame was with his master.
The Court, howe T, held that it was
he duty of the railroad to keep the dog
off its tracks. and appointed experts to
determine whether the barriers provid-
ed were reasonably calculated to pre-
vent the passage of unwary dogs. They
reportof dvorsely to the defendant,
md, after a further reference to ex-
perts in canine pedigree to determine

tiff was awarded $50. with interest

MucH-NAMED FEBRUARY 2.
Otherwise Known Throughout she eoun'T
- Ground Hog Day.

Otherwkae Known Throughout sac o0uA''S
as Ground Hog Day.
February 2 is a much named Gay:
II ia Candlemas Day, Fabrication OF
the Virgin Mary, Presentation ol
christ In the Temple and colloquially
In England the Wives Feast put tne
name that is possibly most familiar 10
us is Grounding Day. The ceiepra-
ton of Candlemas is observed III tne
Anglican, Roman, Greek and Luth-
eran churches, It's principal feature be-
ing the distribution of candles ana
procession of lighted ones. 1t Is more
than probable that 1t Is from this Gus
tom that the name Candlemas Day
originated. Some authorities claim
that the institution of the feast ante
dated the manner of celebrating 1t,
claiming that this festival was first
observed in $40, during the reign or
Justinan, whereas the first procession
Of lighted candles did not occur until
the seventh century. Another authority
while giving tie honor Of originating
the celebration of the day to Justinian,
says Pope GelaSius, in the latter
port of the fifth century, had the
first procession Of lighted candles.
The ceremonies Of Candlemas Day in
England have been very much modi-
fed since the time Of the Reformation,
An order of Council, passed in the
second year of the reign of EdwardVI.,
abolished the candle carrying In that
country. At Rome, however, quite
late in our century. the candles were
blessed and distributed with much
pcmp and ceremony, accompanied by
5 great procession of ecclesiastics,
Unlike the majority of weather prog
nostications taken, as Is a usual
custom, from these set days, Candle
mas weather signs go by contraries.
Fine weather betokens a continuance
of winter and cold days, while an in,
clement day Is sure promise of an
early spring and bright summer. Our
well-known name, particularly among
our rural and foreign population of
Grounding Day for the second of Feb
ruary, comes from an old proverb the
early Germans brought to America
from their Fatherland. that "the
badger peeps out of his hole on Candle
mas Day, and when he finds snow
shining he draws back into his hole"
East of the Mississippi the badger is
scarce and little known, so the farmers
transferred the mantle to the wood
chuck, or grounding.

Finger Print Tests,

In detective novels finger-prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part: but truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger-print system of Identifying
criminals In India has been made so
perfect that 1t would enable any intelli-
gent person in a few minutes to dis
tinguish the individual. If necessary,
from all other persons now living in
the world, or, If data were available
from all other persons who have lived
since the creation of man. The system
is simplicity ITSELF and there Is none
OF the elaboration of process Of the
costly and delicate machinery required
for the anthropomet. system. All
that Is needed Is piece of tin, sheet
of paper and some printers ink. The
ink impressions OF the ten digits are
taken and filed in the proper compart-
ments of the proper pigeonhole, and It
Is on the classification Of records and
their distribution into the pigeonholes
that the success of the system depends.
Every finger mark shows lines Of the
loop" or the ''whorl" type and by a
simple table Of denominations of these
types in the ten digits 1.024 main class
es are made. These are again subdi-
vided according to minor details, and
the subdivision can be further divided,
ad inf1nitum If necessary but with the
table before him any person Of ordin-
airy intelligence can place his finger on
the corresponding card to record in
bis hand within five minutes, no matter
how many thousand cards there may
be. 1t is calculated that the chances
are about e4,000,O00 to against any
two persons having single fingers iden-
teal and the chances against all ten
fngers being Identical go beyond math,

N|NNAMNERS IN DANGER
FIERCE STORMS AND MANY
OVERDUE VESSELS.
The Bark Colusa Which Was Damaged
on the Reef at Kahului, Among the
Missing.

Terrible storms continue to rage in
Pacific waters near the Coast and fears
are entertained that there will be a
long list of disasters to sailing vessels
Already there is a lengthy record Of
overdue vessels, especially among those
bound for ports in the north Pacific
coast. Stormy weather at San Fran
cisco held the transports Dalney Vos-
tok and Columbia for several days.
They are supposed to have left on Fri
day, December LIST. The Centennial is
also on the way down with a load of
horses and is probably having lively
time.
Among the vessels reported as miss
ing is the bark Colusa, from Kahului,
bound for Departure Bay. She was 81
days out on the 29th, when the Alamo
da left, while the barkentne Ruth,
which left Kahului six days after the
Colusa, had been at Departure Bay for
nine days.
The Colusa went on a reef at Kahu-
lui while approaching the harbor. She
tore off the shoe and did other damage.
A diver was sent down and temporary
repairs were made, and the vessel sail
ed in ballast. Captain Ewart intended
to make repairs when he reached the
Sound. Her owners in San Francisco
fear that there was a leak caused by
the collision with the reef, in which
case she would have little chance of
reaching port in the weather that she
must have encountered
