next club meeting. Well, which one of
Thaokeray's books brought him in the

THAT you can probably find out by con-
sulting book the number of which 1 will

hurriedly; Il thought you could tell me al

you must have it in the library"
For the third time the official was obliged
to confess his inability to give her direct
information. She looked at him with a
piercing gaze and turned away, saying
audibly to her companion:

Game Of All Kinds.
The abundance of game In China IS not
REGULAR to my part of the empire. In the
mountains. both north and south. are found
great numbers of bears. both black and
brown, and, strange ii may seem, they
are most numerous in the province OF Shan
tup4. which is one OF the most thlckiy pop
r,latea ana the oldest province OF the Chit
nese empire.
Tigers and Ieopards are also found In all
the mountainous parts OF China, the royal
tiger Of India is found in the range OF
mountains which parallel the coast from
Canton north TO the Yang-tSe. while In the
mountains Of the north IS found the great
Siberian or Mongolian tiger, which is the
most magnificent specimen of the tiger
family, In addition 10 these, wild boars,
wild sheep and goats, antelope, and, what
IL considered by the Chinese of their
greatest delicacies. the wild ass or onaxer,
are common.
The hunting Of large game. particularly
tigers and feopards, was in the days Of the
Mongol dynasty the great sport of the i'm
perial court. The Chinese dynasty which
followed them also numbered many dsvo-
tees Of the chase, but the Mings preferred
the less dangerous hunting Of the dssr,

Apes That Play in the Snow.
Szechuan is also the home of peculiar
animal that might be called missing

large, adults reaching four feet In height.
1t Ives in the mountains and Is protected
from the cold by heavy fur and mane 1t
Is peculiar for the fact that 1t hibernates
like bear, and the Chinese recognizing
this peculiarly, call 1t the run-hiung, or
the man bear. 1t is much sought for its
flesh, and its paws are priced as great
delcacies.
China Is also peculiar as being the habitat
OF the most northern species of monkey
found. These inhabit the mountains north
OF Pek!n, and are entirely free from the
diseases which carry off tropical monkeys
when introduced into cold climates. They
enjoy playing in the snow and apparelIlIy
do not suffer in the least from the cold.
They, too, grow to a large size, adults
reaching nearly three and a half feet in
height. They are very intelligent and large
numbers are taken and trained for exhibi-
ton by the Chinese.
The southern provinces of China are re-
markable for a monkey which In grotesque
and variegated colors can only be COM
pared to the manda in duck and goldfish,
which are also peculiar 20 China. These

Many Kinds of Game Birds.

great country for snipe and plover. while
the rich feeding to be found in its great
rice fields makes 1t the home of greater
fiocks of swans and geese and wild ducks
of all varieties than can be found any
where else in the world. These rice fields
also great feeding places for the i'm
mense fiocks of pigeons and doves that are
so common in China. The Chinese are
great pigeon fanciers, and take advantage
of the pigeon habit of flying in droves to
steal from each other and to take wild
pigeons. They do this by fastening wooden
whistles on the tails of the leaders of their
ow flock, for the purpose of attracting
other pigeons to them. The air of Chinese
cities is full of the soft aeolian notes of
these pigeon whistles.
There is another method of taking game
practiced by the Chinese which must not
be omitted, and this is by means of trained
falcons. The great sport of falconry, once
so popular in all the courts of the world,
survives strongly in China. Here hawks,
eagles and falcons are still taught to pursue
the quarry. and the great falcon market in
the southern part of Pekin is one of the
sights of the Chinese capital. Here on i'm
mense racks are thousands of hooded birds.
exposed for sale. and the Chinese sport is
often seen along the street or highway with
his favorite bird mounted on his leather
bound wrist. In Mongolia the golden eagle
itself is still trained and much used in
hunting deer.
With the quieting of the present disturb
anCe and the creation of a better under
standing between the Chinese and the out
side world there will doubtless be great
influx of outside sportsmen into that coun-

Neglected Deer Parks.
The northern deer park, in the noun
tains northwest from the capital, is one of
the finest preserves in the world and con-
tains a very large herd of giant deer. IT
covers the whole mountain side and is
dotted with picturesque hunting lodges.
The buildings have fallen into de-
cay. but they still show traces of
their former elegance. The walls of
the park are also falling and it is
quite common to find deer from. the royal
preserves roaming over the mo Lntains out
side The deer in this north park are fine,
large animals of a dun color, with magnii-
cent anterS, somewhat resembling our
American wapti, but peculiar in having
what the Chinese call mule tail.
The northern deer park, which lies a few
miles south of the Chinese capital is noted
for a peculiar kind of deer found nowhere
else in the world. 1t is called by the Chi
rese the Szu-puh-siang. or the mule deer.
The name probably indicates that the deer
is hybrid, for it means that the animal
cannot be classified belonging to the
family of any of the four useful animals,
deer or OK, horse or camel The deer is
quite large, of light gray color, and horn
less. with a mild, croaking voice, which is
curously out of place in so large an ami
nal.
There is also found in China ranging over
almost the entire empire. but particularly
thick in the plains of Mongolia, a species
of wild chicken, which is undoubtedly the
progenitor of our present fowl. These wild
chickens have brownish yellow coloring.
with iridescent markings on tail and neck.
The bird is strong flyer and an excellent
game fowl. 1t is largely hunted by the
MOngolians for the Pekin game market,
which is one of the best to be found in the
world.
Probably the cOmmonest game bird of
China is the pheasant The gold and silver
varieties have been so largely exported
that they are well known. but SZechuan is
