The Tables Turned.

Birds, we know, are sometimes train
ed to fire off pistols, as well as to per
form other unusual feats, but it is net
often that a wild bird in the woods
shoots a man with his own gun, as re-
lated in "South American Sketches"
by Robert Crawford.
A pavo del monte. a bird of Uruguay
not unlike the turkey, had been winged
by hunter. 1t fell to the ground, but
was at once on its feet and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside. the
hunter started in pursuit, and a game
of hide and seek ensued,
III one of its doublings and turnings
the bird passed over the gun, which
was lying on the ground, and its foot
CHANGED to strike against the trigger of
the undischarged barrel, the hammer
of which, in the hurry of the moment,
had been left at full cock.
There was loud report. followed by
an exclamation of pain from the man.
The bird escaped, and the luckles'
hunter had an ugly wound in the fieshy
part of his leg to remind him for weeks
afterward of the adventure.

Hunting Marsh Hogs.

Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas, said c. L. Fielden
of that state lin the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them il is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious pOrkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay 1t and
hold it in check until you can take a
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. If you succeed in pierc-
ing vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled
"But dangerous is your position if
your aim is trife defective and your
shot only wounds the animal. Some
| good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your COM
rades, or else an infuriated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. | have seen
more than one of these old bears shot
through the body 20 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fired into
his head.
"In the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter car
make no headway through the tall
rank grass and tQggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge FOl
these reasons he is compelled to kill hi

BERMUDA ONIONS.
Reasons Why They Are So Popular
In American Markets.

Nowhere perhaps in the world are
onions grown to such state of perfec-
tion as in the Bermudas, " said a whole
sale produce merchant to a writer re-
Gently. "The balmy climate and rich
soil Ct these islands, together with the
careful methods of cultivation, have
combined to produce an onion that for
size and flavor, is peerless. The vege-
table will average from one half pound
to one pound and a half in weight. 1t
is always sound, juicy and crisp, and
these good qualities are so well appre-
ciated by Americans that about 300,-
600 crates Of the onions are annually
shipped to the United States.
Preparations to supply the markets
of this country every spring with the
vegetable are made early in January,
and when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates. weighing, when filled,
16O pounds The onions are then taken
to the general receiving wharf where
they are subjected to a rigid inspection
by government officers If the quality
of the produce is not good and any i'm
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The onions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
steamship, which after voyage oI
48 hours, lands them, principally il
New York Here consignments of from
1000 to 5000 crates, each containing
150 onions, are received semiweekly
The vegetable is usually sold by th'
weight and is worth about cents pc

THE MAGIC LAMP.

Meath a moonlit sky in the days gone by,
As the ballads of old relate,
When a lad was bold and his lady shy
He would wait at the poStern gate.
For she feared as he strummed her drowsy
lay
He would waken the siro that slept;
So she fastened her easement, hid in spray,
And out to the postern crept.
Now, know not that postorn gate of yore,
see not the easements light,
But I've watched with the crowd at the dingy
doors
That leads to a stage bedight.
The hoofs of the managers horses stamp,
For they long for the great mans ''HOme!"
While the others must wait by the guttering
lamp
Like the poor at the gates of Rome.
The fairy who danced in the spangled dress
Must change, for the night winds cold,
Though l fear me she loses her cOmeliness
In her OvercOat warmly rolled.
It's sometimes a mother that waits this same
Great goddess who charmed the shrine,
And you hear with a shudder her Christian
name
Pronounced as "Matildar Jine."
And it's sometimes youth with big cigar
And a hat at an evil rake.
It's a youth who is feared by Matilda 'mar
Hence she comes for Matilda's sake.
/ He is dressed in vast Newmarket "sack,"
! Where the scanning is overlaid,
! And the goddess familiarly calls him "Jack;
For she isn't bit afraid.
And it's sometimes dear little gallery boy,
Who dreams i'll his dizzy heights
1t would be the hope of his highest Joy
To speak to the girl in tights.
| But the painted curtain falls, alas
And the dancers fade from view,
So he waits in the glare of the stage door gas
To watch till his girl comes through.

PASSING OF THE NlGHTCAP.
Our Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely

"If the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they 90 to bed,
there would not be near so many cases
of catarrhal trouble as there are now,
said a Chicago physician. He contin-
ned "It is well known that as a ma
tiOn the percentage Of catarrhal COM
plants is greater among us than in any
other nation in the world and that there
are more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this disprOpor-
tion is the absence of nightcaps and the
habit of smoking in the open air. Wo-
men. if they smoke at all, do not do SO
! in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in measure pro-
! tected by their heavier heads of hair.
| Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close cut, are careless about
the temperature Of the rooms in which
they sleep, and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night to zero tenn
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at its lowest ebE and
can do the least to protect itself. If we
would begin by nightcapping all our
children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years, within gen

"Englishmen and the people of the
continent know an American by two
things-his liberality with money anC
his habit of hawking and splitting
They cannot understand the latter, az
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad
But nightcaps are not They are a recog

The Gun Barrels Grew.

In the early days in the northwest,
when the Hudson Bay company laid the
foundations of great fortunes by trade
with the savages, and a gun paid for as
many beaver skins as would reach to
the muzzle of it, the skins packed fat
and the gun held upright, it was alleg-
ed that the barrel of the weapon grew
and grew with each successive year un-
til the Indian, after he had bought it
with the peltry, had to borrow file
and cut off foot of useless metal. -

MINING

Joe Hegener shipped a car of ore
to the Great Falls silver smelter this
week and took in the sights at the
city where beer flows for n nickel
and the ham sandwich is free. Joe
has a good property on Carpenter
creek and his future shirt front will
sparkle with diamonds.
There is a rumor ahoat that the
Cornucopia mines will be opened
this summer for development work
This group is owned principally by
the McLures and on account of the
low price of silver it has been idle
for many years. The proposition is
to try and make it pay, and the
prospects under reduced cost OF
handling the ore are good.

lately done by B. O. Kempfer upon
the Fitzpatrick lode above town.

ing claims at this place. The work
consisting Of 100 feet of tunnel was
approved and accepted. The Jun.

fer has been engaged to sample the
dump and the entire ledge as far as
it is exploited. Messrs. Largent and
Ulm returned to the Falls Thursday
