THINGS MADE OF DEERSKIN.

BY Hunter Guides Of the Adirondacks.
Guides and the native hunters of the
Adirondacks region have a variety of
uses for the deer they kill. There are
still a good many hunters who know
how to tan the deer's hide, and a few
who use as one of the tanning agents
liquid extracted from the brain of the
deer. From the tanned skin many arti-
cles OF use are made. The thick hide
from the neck Of an old buck is ex-
cellent for moccasins, and the art of
moccasin making still fingers here
among tho~e whose ancestors learned
it from the Indians. The men and wo-
men of French Canadian extraction ara
especially apt in household arts of this
sort, learned from the savages. Cheap

en- of the region still cut and stitch
buckskin gloves.
Whole suits of blickskin are made by
expert women of these parts Such suits
were once much used by the thrashers,
who Travelled from one mountain farm
to another 20 thrash the small oats
crop Of the region. A buckskin suit Is
good for a dozen years of hard usage,
and with care will last a lifetime. It is
remarkably warm and impervious to
water.
One rarely sees nowadays such a suit
with the hair on. A garment with the
hair on to be serviceable must be
made from the skins CT deer Just com
ing into the "b,ue," as the hunters ex-
press it. for then the hair is short,
smooth and tough. Later it is long and
brittle. 1t is necessary, too, if such
suit is to be of uniform color, that it
be made from CORES spending parts of
skin from deer of about the same age

seen. One still does see, however, moe

was in the form of an edict promulgat-
ed by the emperor Kwang Hau, APP
pointing Earl Ii Hung Chang, as envoy
penipotentianry to negotiate with the
powers for an immediate cessation Of
hcstilities." pending a solution OF the
problems which have grown out OF the
anti-foreign uprising in the empire
Earl Ii is to act directly for the emperor
and a fair inference Is that whatever
terms of settlement he may reach with
the powers will be approved by the i'm
perial government.
During the day only one dispatch that
was made public reached any of the
government departments from China. A
belated message from Minister Conger
was transmitted to the war department
by General Chaffee 1t expressed sim
ply his ability to "hold on" until Gen.
eral Chaffee should come to his relief.
All the powers of this government Will
be exerted to get that relief to him and
the other imprisoned legationers at the
earliest possible moment.
Minister WI was an early caller at
the department of state. Shortly after
o o'clock he made an engagement with
Acting Secretary Of State Adee to meet
him at the department at 1890 Prompt
Nv at that hour the minister's automo-
bile stopped at the west entrance to the
department and Mr.. WI alighted and
hurried to Secretary Adee's office. He
presented to Mr. Adee copy of the i'm
perial edict which he had received last
night. 1t had been transmitted to him
in the Chinese foreign office cipher and
it's translation and preparation for sub
mission to the department of state had
occupied much of the night
Mr.. Wu remained with Mr. Adee for
three quarters of an hour discussing the
terms of the edict and the probable re-
sronse to it of this government. Shortly
before Minister WI left the department.,
eccretarv If War Root Joined the two
diplomatists, but remained only long
enough to obtain a copy of the edict and
to discuss it briefly with the Chinese
minister.
Minister WI expressed the belief that
the edict presented a means of peaceful
adjustment of the present trouble, and
that the request of the Chinese govern
ment for a cessat ton of hostilities pend
irg peace negotiations was entirely rea-
sonable.
Immediately upon the conclusion OF
the conference the text of the edict, to-
gether with the details of the call OF
Minister WI, was communicated to
President Mckinley at Canton. Late in
the day Acting Secretary Adee made

THE CUCKOO AND HER EGG

In the June number of 1.-THE Zoolog-
ist' A. Fl. Meiklejohn raises the uues
tion as to the manner in which the
cuckoo carries her egg when about to
deposit it In the nest Of the bird Sc
lected 70 act as foster mother. It il
commonly supposed that the egg is car
ried in the beak, and in Professor New
toms edition of "Yarrell' several in
stances are quoted where observers
state they have actually seen the
modus operandi. Mr.. Meikleiohn, who
was fortunate enough to observe a
cuckoo in the act of depositing its egg
in robins nest, is, however, Of opin-
ion that the threat of the bird serves as
the receptacle for the egg. He states
that Q the cuckoo was constantly
opening her mouth during a prelimin-
airy encounter with the robins; (2) that
the egg was certainly not laid in the
ordinary way in the nest; 60 that the
egg itself was slightly moist and
sticky: (D that the throat of the bird
presented a slightly distended appear-
ance, which might well have been due
to the presence of the egg. 1t will he
