DESTRUCTIVE FUN.
An Officers Sport That Caused Kansas
 Greatest Prairie Fire.

The greatest prairie fire known in Kansas was in the year 1869, and 1t was set out by an officer of the United States government, says a Kansas City paper, This officer is now in Wash ington, and, during the Spanish war, his name was more frequently in the papers than any other. One day in 1869 he and party of officers from Fort Hays were returning from wild turkey hunt in the canons of the Sa- line. The wind was blowing a hurri- cane, and when stop was made on the high prairie some ten miles north of Hays this officer deliberately touched a match to the dry, crisp grass in order to make a spectacle. When the other officers saw what he was about to do they made desperate effort to stop him, but the deed had been done and the red flames were reeling across the prairie like a fright ened antelope. That fire swept from where it had been started clear across Kansas into what is now Oklahoma. The streams and roads offered no ob- staeles to it whatever. While going south it had also turned to the east, and left trail of ruin across Rice, Reno, Kingman, Harper and other counties. Thousands of settlers were burned out, losing their houses and their feed, their horses and cattle. If the man who set that fire had been known to the settlers all the troops on the plains would not have been enough to stay their vengeance. AS it was. he suffered remorse beyond description. When the officers at Hays would bring him papers telling of the damage done he would groan and curse himself roundly. He left Hays for some other post in the following year, and, so far as we know, his name was never connected with thr gigantic prairie fire of 1869.

EASY LIFE IN NICARAGUA.
When the Family Is Out of Money Some Body Goes Out and Gets d Little Gold.

when the Family Is Out of Money Some
 Body Goes Out and Gets Little Gold.
 From the New Orleans Times Demo- efat: When was n the Olancho district, in Nicaragua, last month, said visitor who is largely Interesting in mining in Central America. T had an opportunity of seeing how the lazy natives tap natures till when they need some small change. Near our camp by the river was a hut occupied by typical Honduranian family, con- sisting of husband and wife, grand father and grandmother, and a dozen or so assorted children. The only one of the crowd who did anything except rest and smoke was the wife At in- teryals of perhaps a week she would sally out with the family tin-pan. erst- Whiie used for cooking, and proceed to an old placer digging on the rSyer bank. There she would squat, throw a few gonrds full of dirt into the pan, fill it up with water and begin the usual circular motion of gold-washing. She W2s very skillful and would keep little sheet of dirty water spraying over the edge like a miniature cataract. When the water was exhausted few spoonsful- of sand would be left in the bottom of the pan, and, spreading it out thin, with bit of stick, she would go over it, grain by grain, looking for color Whenever she saw g speek of gold she moistened the stick upon her tongue and picked up the particle by adhesion. Each bit of the precious metal was stored away in quill plugg- sd with clay at the ends, and 1 have know her to take out as much as quarter of an ounce in the course Of a lay Usually her limit was about 8. and when she got that she stopped.
 Then the head of the house would arise languidly and start for the near est store twelve miles away. Some times he would trade the whole amount fer whiskey, but as a rule he brought back tobacco, salt, meal and calico. There are hundreds of native families who live in exactly the same manner Il Olancho. Sometimes the woman will be lucky enough to strike rich pocket, that will yield a dollar or more , pan. but they never dream of wash ing it out at once and getting q stake. It simply means that they can secure their usual amount with less work"

SHIPS CLAIMED BY THE WAVES
Great Britain's Losses by shipwreck the
 Smallest in tie World.

From the New York Herald: Losses at sea sustained by the merchant serY- ice of the world in the last year are sent forth in a report prepared by the British government, copies of which have been received here. Great Brit ain, with over 12,000 GOO tons af1oat, has the lowest percentage of losses. Startling figures are presented as to the number of steamers and sailing craft reported missing and now re- garded as lost by insurance underwrit- CTS. No less than 24 steamers sailed out of various ports last year and have never been heard from. and 79 sailing vessels cleared and never reached their destination. both classes representing a total tonnage Of 72773 In addition 96 ships, representing s sailing craft and II steamers, had to be abandoned at sea. As a result of all the losses the gross reduction in the mercantile marine of the world is shown to be 1,141 vessels of S20, ,725 tons, excluding vessels of less than 100 tons. Great Britain's rate of loss is 2.23 per cent, the next on the list being Germany. with 2.33 per cent Germany and the United States are now making neck and-neck" race as regards the total number of vessels owned, the latter having 2,113,677 tons and the former 2,113,98f tons Austria=Hungary is third in point of rate of loss, with 3.18 per cent. and then comes Russia with 3.63 pc. cent, and the United States, with 414 per cent. The other nations are in the following order Italy, 4.34 per. cent; France, Ills; Holland. 4.62; Spain 5.01; Norway, 5.55 and Sweden, RG6

PIG DYING OF GRIEF.
When It's Only Friend. Cow. Was
 Taken Away It Refused Food.

When Its Only Friend, a Cow, Was
 Taken Away It Refused Food.
 4 little pig on smiths island is vast ing slowly away-dying. in fact, of grief. because of its separator from COW to which it was deYotedly at tached, says the Boston Globe. Smiths island, composed of 100 acres or more, is about a mile distant from NorWalk. Conn. A lighthouse stands on its east ern coast and it's only inhabitants are Samuel Armour and his mother. To soften her state of semi-isolation, as well as because they are profitable, Mrs. Armour raises quite a little farm yard stock, such as ducks, hens, goat and q ecw. The name of the COW is Pans Rarsy arrived on Smiths is- 3e5 5Aly a calf and consequently knCNs scle of the outside world and its dey us ways. From her infancy she had come in contact with hens and ducks and geese; she even rubbed skirts with a goat, but one quadruped Pansy had not seen was a pig When, therefore, last spring MT Armour brought to Smiths island from the mainland fat little pig, it's appear anee= caused Pansy | good deal of sur prise and excited the farmyard gen erally, The little pig was not popular by any means. AS for Pansy, she could not bear the sight of it. Buffo (which is the name of the little pig) from the first manifested an intense affection for the cow Pansy's heart gradually softened toward the poor little porker and finally. to parody Mary and her little lamb, every place that Pansy went the pig was sure to go. Although in time the other live stock came to assume an attitude of benevolent neutrality toward Buffo, the dog was an exception. He frequently chased Buffo for it's dear life, but after awhile Pansy interposed in it's behalf and when Hector pressed Buffo too closely would take the pig in her mouth and, lifting il high in the air, keep it there out of harms way until the danger had passed. And now stress of circumstances has parted the loyal comrades. Mrs Armour, who is no longer young, finding that caring for COW with her other duties was too much for her, sold Pansy to farmer for much less than her value, provided that she should not be given to the butcher. When Buffo missed it's friend, which was very soon, it was fneonso1a= ble It's squea1s of grief could be heard all over the island. It has since then refused it's food and grows thin her each day It is probable that Mrs. Armour will sell or give Buffo away to the same farmer; otherwise the days of the affeetionate little pig will have been numbered and grave will be dug somewhere on Smiths island.

A POSER FOR mARKsmEN.

The Eccentric Flight of inc Woodeook
 Makes Him Almost Impossible to Hit.
 The peculiar habit of the woodcock and his corkscrew flight make him probably the most difficult of winged marks. In the daytime he remains a1- ways in thickets, coPses or cane-braBes. He must have ground upon which to sleep and and in Wmeh to do his ocea- sional daylight boring, and moist ground generally means always dense undergrowth. Indeed, some of the places most favored by the woodcock arg so thickly oyergrown that a rabbit fi1As difficulty in getting through. In srFsT places the hunter send in his cocker spaniel. if he has one, knowing that the dog will flush the bird with his shfiH, constant barking and trust
 ing to luck to get a shot as the wood cock clears the tops of the trees or canes. Generally, however, a man and pointer may work their way through almost anything that grows in shape of woods and entangling vines, and it must be admitted that the difficulties of it lend to the sport peculiar fas- cination that does not pertain to any other form of American shooting. 1t is characteristic of the woodcock that he will not fly far horizontally when disturbed. He does not see we'll even in the shadow of the oaks and y- presses, and he fears that if he lets himself out in a straight line he will run into something. At night he sees as we'll as an owl His flight, eonse- quently, when he rises before the heavy tread of the pointers owner, or before the yelp of the spaniel, is con- fined to a spiral shoot straight upward and drop to earth almost as perpen- dieular. If not struck he will hit the ground probably not more than fifteen yeards from where he left it. In cane or other kinds of swamp he might as wag. be a hundred yards away, so far as Xny chance of shooting him is con- cerned. The flight is nothing like So fast as the bazzing dart of the quail or the wide-swinging zigzag of the jacksnipe. but it is highly eccentric.

Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1900-09-01

The Pail Mall Gazette gives this
translation of the Arabic poem pre-
sented by the khedive to the queen
when he visited Windsor last week.
The poem was written by a we'll
known Egyptian nan of letters, Is
mail Assem-: 20 Lady of the King
dom, 0 Thou Offspring of Those
Mighty Suns, who scared along with
their Realms to Spheres under which
roll as humble maidens the Heavenly
Planets bright. Around Thy Sacred
Head do the Angels wreathe their
Love garlands interviewer with the
Love jewels of Human Souls. But are
Thou a Goddess, too, that before Thee
have Times fiinched and knelt with
an affrighted look. To Thy Sway have
humbled themselves the Countries of
the Earth, and the mighty Oceans,
with their rolling, foaming Plains,
and the fearful deserts, with their
rolling, sandy waves, thunderstorm
stood before Thee" The London
Daily News gives a somewhat differ
ent, perhaps freer, translation, and
relates a curious circumstance, show
ing that the poem is in part a remark
able tour de force: The last hemi-
stitch is 'quantitative' in an unex-
pected sense. E~ach-letter has in the
Arabic alphabet its arithmetical value,
and if all the letters of this hemi-
stitch are added togetherthey amount
to 1900. the date of the sixty-third
year of her majesty's reign"
