Park. 1t has been asserted that there
are also few bison in Colorado. The
evidence on this point is rather con-
flicting, but Mr. Sullivan averages
up the testimony and somewhat arbi-
trarily fixes the number for that state
at twenty-one.
On the whole, it would seem that the
maintenance of the species is dependent
rather upon the domesticated herds
than the few specimens now running
wild. The latter are indequately pro-
tected, and are steadily disappearing
from the earth. Nevertheless, it has
been observed that among bison which
are in captivity the number of male off
spring is greatly in excess OF the fe-
male And this dispropprtion is some
what alarming. STILL this rule does
not hold good where the herd has a
wide range, and therefore is not uni

Porter, gallant young courtier, was IN

him to be an expert marksman, said
do you see that strange bird up in
that tree? / wish you would fire at 1t.
But the range was too great, and Mr..
Porter crept up under the tree. There
among the branches was the countess,
looking down upon him with the most
innocent air, and pelted him with fruit.
What have you there, Porter"
asked she glancing at his fusse. why
can't you speak? Are you bewitched?'

put myself into large hamper, and so

So the hamper was conveyed into the
kings presence, and Mr.. Porter, accom-
panying it, explained that the butterfly
had proved so beautiful that nobody
could possibly wish to kill it, and so he
had taken it alive.
The king was Of course, very eager to
see so lovely a creature, and opened
the hamper with his own hand. There
crouched the countess, bubbling over
with merriment.

POOR OLD SHIPS.
Where and How They Are Spending
Their Last Days.

Where and How They Are Spending
Their Last Days.
In the year 1877, the epoch of the old
time big wooden sailing ship was at it's
height and no less than twenty-five
were launched from Maine yards. I'm
til the recent revival of shipping a full
rugged American ship was something of
a novelty, and here the question arises
as to where they all have gone. To be
sure there are a few left such as have
not been burned, wrecked or converted
into bargas, which latter fate seems
bound to overtake the last of the old
fleet.
The list of 1877 is an interesting one
and in that year crafts were set atloat
whose history would make big books
and interesting ones. In that year the
chips We're flying in yards all along the
Maine coast, many long since grass.
grown and effaced. In addition to the
ships there were also many hripe
barks schooners, etc, on the stocks
But as this particular sketch has refer
ence to ship look at the list of the
famous crafts born in 1877. AT Bath

Belle of Bath, Palestine, Challenger,

One by one the roses fall, and one by
one the trusts fail to become real oc-
topi. The growth in popular favor of
photography as an outdoor pastime has
made the manufacture of cameras a
great industry in this country, employ
ing millions of dollars of capital For
competitors a camera combine was
formed last December with a capitali-
cation of $S,5Oo,0OO. Like other COM
bines of this character, however, it fail
ed to gather in all the manufacturers,
were consolidated the trust could not
offer to the stockholders any guaranty
against the formation of new competing
companies. 1t is claimed that so vigor-
Gus has been the competition of the out
siders that the aggregate business of the
consolidated companies has fallen from
81 200, 900 to an annual output of 100000.
Much of this manufactured stock is
resting in warehouses, and the trust Is
obliged to raise money to pay guaran-
teed dividend on $1,5oOo00 of preferred
stock.
Enough has happened lately to make
it plain that much of the scare caused
by the trusts has been unnecessary.
Many trusts have hurt themselves
worse than they have hurt the people.

THE SURVIVING AMERICAN
BISON.
More Now in Captivity Than Are Left
Running Wild.

More Now in Captivity Than Are Left
Running Wild.
A recent census of the surviving
American bison, communicated by
Mark Sullivan to 1.-The Boston Tran
script" puts the total at 1,O24 of which
6S4 are in captivity and $40 are running
wild. These figures include estimates
as well as actual count, and therefore
afford only an approximate statement
of the case, although the approximation
is probably close one. Something like
a dozen years ago Mr.. Hornaday pub
lished a book ON the determination of
the bison which also contained care
full estimate of the number of these ami
mails then living. His total was 1,091,
and the number running wild was be-
lieved to be about 1886. A comparison of
Mr.. Sullivan's census with that of Mr..
Hornaday would indicate that In the
last decade the number of bison in cap
tivity has more than doubled, while
those yet at large have diminished near
ly sixty per cent And there has APP
parently been a slight falling off in the
aggregate.
Mr.. Sullivan says that the largest
herd of pure blooded domesticated BIZ
son in the United States is that on the
estae of the late G. Allard which rang
es over the Flathead Indian reserve in
Montana, and includes 259 head. This
is fully one-quarter of the estimated
total number of survivors, Next to this
comes the herd of Jones Goodnight, in
Armstrong county Tex, which is said
to contain ITO heads
Regarding the buffalos which are still
at large the estimates are more or less
conjectural. One herd is in the neigh
borhood of the Great Slave lake, in
British America, and a second is under
government protection in Yellowstone

THE STORY OF A COURT BEAUTY

Among the famous beauties at the
courts of the Stuarts was Mary Villiers
duchess of Richmond and Lennox. She
was born in 1923 and was married at
so early an age that her husband, dy-
ing within a twelvemonth left her H.
year-od widow. Then she returned to
the court of Charles |, her adaptive
father, and, a radiant child clad i'll
widows weeds created no small sensa-
ton.
One little adventure shows her at her
prettiest, and won for her the nickname
of Butterfly
She had climbed into a tree in the
kings garden to gather some fruit, and
her long black dress and veil spread
themselves over the branches in the
manner of wings, so that the king, at
some distance, imagined he saw a
strange bird perching in the tree. Mir.

1t will possibly startle the Emperor
William, says the London Echo, ito
learn that he has been found guilty, by
an industrious enumerator, of the de-
livery of no fewer than seven hundred
speeches in the course of the last ten
years. This works out an average of
nearly a speech and half for every
week of the decade, and is a decidedly
liberal allowance, even for a sovereign
whose extraordinary fluency Is said to
be more embarrassing to the stenogra-
pliers than it has occasionally been to
his ministers

A PHI TSIBLE TIL cory.

The idea Of making all ex-presidents
senators for life continues to find favor.
It is pointed out that Cleveland and
Harrison would add materially to the
gravity, wisdom, experience and pa
triotism of the upper house. The Man
ufacturer is quite agitated over the
country cannot have the rich, ripe
knowledge, in a practical form, that
the Senate and speak and vote, be-
cause we believe 1t to be the best for
isn't worth thought or words. The men
out of whom we have made Presidents
hitherto have been, on the whole, big
men, Mr. Mckinley, when the time
comes for him to put down the badge
of office will be as big with wisdom
and experience as any that ever served.
No harm can ever come to a country
like ours from such an experiment and
1t may produce a great deal Of good.
This is plausible, but perhaps the
plan wouldn't work just as it's ardent
supporters think it would. 1t is posi-
BILE that it would only add members to
the senate without adding to the real
strength of the senate 1t doesn't fol-
low that because a man has been presi-
dent of the United States he would
make a useful senator He might be
oppressed with past glory, too much
knowledge, and too little industry.

The question of employing swallows
instead of pigeons to carry dispatches
has been seriously considered in France,
according to the Journal DIES Sciences
Militaires. The aptitude of the swallow
for the work is by many held to be even
greater than that of the pigeon. They
fly to a greater height and are therefore
less exposed TO being shot, and they
travel faster, making good nearly eighty
miles an hour, where a pigeon would
only get over fifty. 1t is also claimed
for them that they are more faithful
intelligent and have not on long Jour-
neys to stop to feed, as the pigeon has
1t is also asserted that the swallow can
be more easily and quickly trained The
only doubtful point seems to be wheth-
er, on regaining their liberty, they
would not yield to their migratory in
stincts and their desire to seek warmer
Chimes.

The New York Times points out that
the personal fortune of nearly $53, 900, 900
yielded to Mr.. Vanderbilt in interest
and dividends less than one million and
three-quarters annually, although ex-
actly 1928 per cent. The Times adds:
Probably nobody in the country had
better opportunities for investment
than Cornelius Vanderbilt IF he ever
distrusted his own Judgment, he could
at all times command the aid and coun-
sci of the most expert judges in finan-
cial investments in the world. 1t may
be accepted as true, therefore, that a
return of about IL per cent. is the
highest to be hoped for in these days by
large investor who makes the security

sable condition of his ventures. Any
thing above 4 per cent. means taking

Investigation recently made by a
medical committee in Edinburgh shows
that the poor of that city are quite as
well fed as those in the large towns of
Great Britain or America. The commit
tee regrets that the old diet of porrdge
and milk of the laboring classes has
been given up for tea and bread. 1t
also points out that white bread as an
energy producer is better than brown,
and that much remained to be done to
instruct the poorer classes of the popu-
lation as to how their food should be
properly cooked 1t mentioned that the
dietary in Scottish poorhouses is of a
very inferior kind and not at all ade-
quate.

The superintendent of the Phi1adel-
phia mint has fourteen coming presses
working overtime trying to keep up
with the unusual demand for the gilt
tering small coins. For two weeks he
has kept his force working until
O'Clock at night, and has been able to
send away only 100000 new pennies a
day. From Washington and the West
comes the despairing cry for more. 1t
is almost penny famine There is a
panic in the slot machine industry.
From now until Christmas, by working
the force until ten o'clock at night the
superintendent hopes to send away
100000 pennies a day, and it is possible
that he may break the record by reach
ing the million mark.
