ZUNI INDIAN TRAILERS.
Their Ability Ia Track Man or Beast is
Simply Marvellous.

"Ihe ability of the Zuni Indians to
trail man or beast is simply marvel
Gus. An Indian knows the track of
his prey, and will notice it when a
white man cannot see trace of it.
He can pick it out from among a score
of others, or follow it along a travelled
road with the greatest ease. An
Eastern traveller, while stopping at
the village, went out for a bear hunt
with the Indian trader and au Indian
guide. After some hours they sighted
bear. but did not get shot at it, as
it fed. An Indian was put on the
bears trail and followed it at a slow
trot until evening. There was no
snow on the ground and no mud. As
far as the whites could see there was
absolutely nothing to indicate which
direction the bear had taken. The
traveller was incredulous and said he
did not believe the Indian knew what
he was doing, but some hours later he
was wholly convinced when they came
up with Bruin.
1T is this keen sense OF sight which
makes them so valuable as scouts in
the army. Where my eye can distin,
guish only n blur in the distance,
scout will see the tiniest moving oh.
ject, and will be able to tell what it is.
Show them trail and ask them when
it was made, and they will tell you
with reasonable accuracy. This fine
sense does not seem so remarkable
when we remember that it is a savage
Characteristic, birthright, and one
which they train from childhood.

While our soldiers and sailors were
advancing the flag, last summer, a
deed as brave as any of theirs was
done by man of kindred race i'll far
off Sierra Leone. This thrilling in
cident of the native uprising is de-
scribed by correspondent Of the
London Standard.
At Rotofunk, mission station some
tifty-fve miles from the coast, four of
the white missionaries had been
literally hacked to pieces by the
natives. IT was said, however, that
Mrs. Kane, the wife Of the superin-
tendent of the mission, had succeeded
in escaping into the bush.
With the hope of rescuing her, q
force was dispatched from Freetown,
with orders to push through to Roto.

Miss Ruth Hanna, daughter of Sena-
tor Hanna, is the heroine of n wild cat
hunt which occurred on her fathers
game preserve near Townsville, Ga,
recently For some time a large wild
cat has been annoying the other oc-
cupants of the preserve, and finally
Miss Hanna determined 10 get its
scalp.
Accompanied by Howard Hanna,
her cousin, both being mounted on
fleet horses, she started on the chase
before sunrise. The scent was taken
up by hounds, and for nearly two hours
the two COUSINS rode over rough coun-
try. Miss Hanna shot the cat when it
took refuge in tree. She rescued the
carcass from the dogs and bore it home
as trophy. Sportsmen said it was
one of the biggest animals of the kind
ever seen in that part of the State.

A Light ON Yankee Dialect.

Obvious necessity compels even the
most patriotic of Englishmen to adj
NIT that vast numbers of their fellow
countrymen use dialects so far re-
moved fro IL correct English as to be
little less than separate languages, but
few, if any, Of them can let pass with
out protest the statement SO often
made by Americans that this or that
well-educated Londouer talks with
an English accent" The assertion is,
indeed, n bit absurd, for the pronun-
citation of such men is, or ought To be,
the standard of the language, and not
its peculiarities, but variations from
them are what constitute accent, -
according to logical and reasonable
definitions of that word But though
the stay-at home Britishers still de-
ride or denounce our application of
a qualifying adjective to their English,
those of them, who stray abroad are
coming to treat the speech of New
York and of London as variants of a
non-eXistent ideal. At any rate, they
talk as gHbly as we do of American
scents" and English accents" aud
one citizen of comparatively recent
adoption was heard the other day to
date an experience of his to time
"when l spoke with much stronger
accent than do now" BY so doing
he gave, probably, the ultimate proof
of thorough assimilation with US. The
same man said that recently, having
met a person who inserted an "a" III
words like "cow" and "town,' lie
asked said person if he wasn't fell
low Briton from Stafordshire The
reply was, NO, | was born in Yer

will grow, it seems, i'll the coolest
climate from frozen earth, and bear
beautiful blossoms in the month of

the flower resembles somewhat our

day. The flower is starshaped when
it opens, its petals of the same length
as the leaves, and about half an inch
wide. The anthers, which are five il
number, at the third or fourth day
show at their extremities minute glist-

The only officer Who knew this part
of the country was Lieutenant W. K.
Howell, OF the First Glamorgau
Volunteer Artillery, Il member Of an
old Cornish family, who had raised

volunteers to swim across the river
and bring back as many canoes as
possible, but there was no response,
as not only would the swimmers no

with alligators.
At length Lieutenant Howell, -
spite of the protestations of his fellow
officers, resolved to make the attempt
himself. The enemy, evidently see

assembled in force on the opposite
bank, but were driven back some dis

the British volunteers over Lieutenant
Howells head.
When the Lieutenant had just

only by swingius sharply round that
he succeeded in freeing himself, but
even so his thigh had been torn and
lacerated in a shocking manner.
Notwithstanding this injury and the
work of the enemy's guns, the gallant
officer continued his perilous journey,
and at length reached the opposite
bank, only to find that his errand was
fruitless, as all the boats and canoes
had been destroyed.
For more than half an hour he con.
tinued his search, but finding the
enemy again pressing him, and feeling
weak from loss of blood, be was com

Every one knows what a bright,
beautiful fire is made by burning pine
cones, and country people who can
get them use them good deal. They
are almost an impossible luxury for
city folk, so thought Southern wom-
an who greatly enjoyed her fires of big
cones, and then the idea occurred to
her to collect a quantity of them and
ship them to a womans exchange for
sale. She sent in several barrels, and
only asked the modest sum Of 81 a
barrel for them. A few thrown into
an open fire will make merry blaze,
and the cones were quickly sold to
people who Immediately appreciated
their value. The Southern woman
found her orders increasing almost
too rapidly, and has now regular
business in supplying pine cones, and
one that involves no expense IN carry
ing it ON. Gathering balsam for pill
lows is another industry that would
demand no outlay for ''plant, " and
it would be pleasant and interesting
occupation for healthy girls who like
to tramp the mountains and forests, -
