FAMOUS in SPORTS.

There is always good fishing at the
duke of Richmond's place, Gordon cas-
tie, and Lady Caroline Gordon Lenox,
who acts as hostess for her brother, is
quite an expert with the rod.
Lord Carnarvon is good shot, and
recently he gave party for the prince
of Wales, at which 10,s00 birds were
slaughtered in three days with only six
hunters-60O birds day TO each gun.
The Bradley Martins have one of the
finest shooting estates in Scotland and
their shooting parties are always eager
ly attended. Their daughter, Lady
Craven. and her husband stay with
them during the season.
There is no one who can compete with
Lord de Grey Of England as a sports
man. Once in Ireland, when shooting.
he brought down 16 wild geese with a
two-barreled gun, and in one year was
responsible for the death OF $4,000
birds.
There has been some record deer
shooting in Scotland. Atholl forest Il
supposed to contain about 1900 head
of red deer, and when the prince and
princess of Wales visited there in 1874

HISS AND SPIT AT FOES.
Cats of All Species Intuitiye1y Repel
Their Enemies by Display
of Eer0eity.

Everybody has seen a cat hump its
back and hiss and spit at a dog Even
the youngest kitten instinctiyely rec
ognizes an enemy and makes Showing
of defiance at its approach. This bluff
at intimidation is general among the
species. 1t is a curious and remarkable
fact that many different kinds of crea'
lures which have their homes in shall
low holes have a similar habit of spit
ting when an enemy approaches. Fur
thermore, it is probable that the eS'
preston of a cat at bay is part of the
same instructive stratagem. We know
how general is the horror of the serpent
tribe throughout all nature, and hence
it seems likely that the serpent-like as
pect of the head of an enraged cat, To-
gether with its threatening hiss, might
disconcert an enemy sufficiently togie
an advantage to the cat
Curiously enough, cats of all species
have their tails marked transyersey
in a way which resembles the marking
of serpents, and several naturallsts nave
remarked how similar are the sinuous'
waving movements of the tail of an
angry cat to the movements of the tail
of a snake in state of excitement. The
true tabby cat, when it is curled up
asleep, has a curious resemblance tos
coiled serpent and the same is true Of
many wild cats of different varieties
and coming from different parts of the
world.
) If this really is an instance of pro-
tective mimicry ii is possible that the
chief foe guarded against was the eagle
Eagles are very fond of cats flesh and
il has been remarked by naturalstsln IN
various parts of the world that these
formidable birds habitually make war
upon the smaller creatures of the KIND

SEVERE STORM IN NEBRASKA.
The Neighborhood of Hardy Suffers
From IA High Wind, Assuming the
Proportions of u Tornado

Omaha, Neb., Oct IA storm of
unusual violence, particularly for this
time of year, visited the country in the
vicinity of Hardy, Neb., late Sunday
afternoon. The wind had been high
all day, and near night assumed the
proportions of a tornado A large
amount of damage was done to small
buildings and several large ones were
unroofcd. A brick schoolhouse was
unroofed, and the walls so badly
cracked that it will have to be torn
down. The enginehouse at the Hardy
elevator was wrecked. Several barns
were blown down, and the aggregate
less will amount TO many thousands of
dollars. All over the state high
wind prevailed all day, which was fol-
lowed by steady rain. The rain will
be very welcome, because it is needed
by fall grain,and will check the prairie
fires which have become very frcanent.
and have done considerable damage.

cheese products as will enable them 10
