OF: going to the same place, season after
season, to shed their antlers: #
y IS The idea of the animals seeking a
definite place for this purpose was quite
new to me, but lately the efficient SUI
Perintendent of game and fisheries at
Que bee, Z. q. Joncas, ESQ.,, has told me
that they do frequent such places, and
that this habit was quite well known
to him. He knew of many and. men
toned several places where horns could
almost certainly be- found at any time.
And not only do they 60 to shed their
horns, but they go there to die. These
places are known as cemeteries, and
whole skeletons are occasionally found.
This, however, would be rare, as the
bones would usually be torn apart and
scattered by bears and other carnivorae.
"Mr. Joncas instanced the case of q
gentleman going to q certain region for
geological exploration, who asked for
q permit to shoot a moose out of season
in order to get q good pair of antlers.
He was told that ~ diverging little
from his route he might reach place
where he could find plenty of them.
He did SO and secured five excellent
specimens ...

NAME RECALLS. TRAGEDY.


Il When Spain owned all Mexico and
Florida, as the vast region of the Mis-
sissippi valley was called long before
the United States had an existence as
q separate government, the command
ing officer at Santa Fereceived an order
to open communication with the coun-
try OF Florida. For this purpose an in
fan1try falr1y regiment was selected. It left
Santa l Fe rather late in the season and
wintered at 9 point on the old trail now
known as Trinidad. In the spring the
colonel, leaving all camp followers be-
hind him, both men and women,
marched down the stream, known to
the Mexicans as the River lie Purgatoire,
but to the Americans in Colorado,
through which the river flows, as the
"PicketWire,'' which flows for many
miles through magnificent canyons.
Not one of the regiment returned or
was ever heard of. When all hope had
departed from9the wives, children and

Rome, which was passing up the chan
mel, bound in. From her mainmast flew
her signal flags. Only few persons ap-
pearcd on her decks. Then, as. we
looked at the ship as she slipped by us,
her port rails became lined with passen-
gers. A long line of moving white ap-
peared from end to end. It had the ap-
pearance of the foam on the crest of a
breaker.
''What's the matter with her?" asked
the signalman, poking his telescope
through one of the slides in the side Of
the tower. ''They are shaking handker-
chi efs at something ashore here" he
added, after few moments inspection
of the ship.
We looked down at the shore, $50 feet
below us. On the ridge of sand, stand

Alligator and Men in a Tug-Of-VVcr.
At the logging camp of Messrs. Brady
G. Earl, on Turkey creek, a hog COM
menced squealing and the balance Of
the hogs began rallying around small
pond behind the camp. Mr.. Earl, hear
ing the noise, ran down to see what
was the matter, and, seeing hog un-
der water, jumped in, and caught the
hog by the leg and started for the
bank, but inste;.d of going to the bank
he was pulled the other way, calling
for assistance. Taking hold of hands,
they all pulled together, and it was
soon evident that a monstrous alligator
had the hog. When they got his head
out of water he objected to going any
further, and commenced to drag them
back. They see-sawed there some time,
nip and tuck. The men would pull the
hog and the alligator toward the bank
and then the alligator would pull the
hog and men back again. They sue
ceeded in getting him partly out of
the water, when Mr.. Earl called for an
ak, but they brought him d pole, and,
giving his hold on the hog to some one
else, he came down on the alligator's
head, who, turning loose the hog,
plunged into his hole.-Baldwin Ella

knives were drawn-great ugly look
ing things. The captain elbowed his
way among the coolies, giving first one
and then another dig in the ribs.
One fearful looking coolic, whom they
had just doctored, aimed blow at
him with broken basin; but the dog
was too quick for him, and brought
the fellow down on his back and held
him there. The two principal offenders
were caught, their heads banged to-
gether until they were brought to
quietness, then an explanation asked.
Of course, everyone wanted to talk and
explain at once, but the captain held
up his hand until there was silence,
then called one man after another, and
heard what each had to say, through
an interpreter. The row was caused
by one man wanting to light his pipe
at an opium-smoker's lamp. The most
trivial things cause most violent fights.

Nature shows forth in the selection Of
food by inhabitants Of various cOun~
tries; for instance. the Esquim2uX in a
Gus foods talloW, bacon and such;
while the Hindoo and inhabitants Of
hot countries turn to the cereals for

We should follow this hint Of nature,
and particularly in hot weather should
avoid much butter. meat or any of that
class of food Perhaps a little meat

weather, but the breakfast and lunch
should be made of fruit, one or two
slices Of entire wheat bread and some

are mentioned, because they furnish
the ideal cereal food in q most palat-
