You know how the redskins of old
used to smoke signals? Now, let
every sportsman in Maine or else
where who gets lost In the woods
make smoke, and the chances are
100 to / that the searchers who are
looking for him will find him within
a few hours. Start the smoke on a
bare rock on side HILL Make thin
smoke and keep 1t up. Sit down and
take 1t easy and vary the program
by gathering fuel for the smudge OF
boughs for windbreak or camp bed.
lie over night. Look for water to
drink, No trouble to find your way
back to your rock with the smoke to
guide you. Every professional guide
who takes out a party OF sportsmen
should instruct them in these partie-
ulars. 1t will save painful worry,
hunger, starvation and too frequent
death. To tyro in woodcraft / would
much prefer making smoke than an
attempt to study the divides, or even
to follow stream out. In a country
of limited area, where the streams are
all short and seldom over fifteen miles
from the crown of the divide to the
tide water, as in Nova Scotia, the lat
ter would be the best plan-to stick tc
the watercourses and follow the down

study the lay of the land before you
start out and see in which direction the
hills and valleys run Getting lost
should be impossible when nature
makes all her paths so plain, at least
1t seems so to me at these presents.
But then have had fifty odd years OF
experience in all regions and ATTITUDES.
AS a rule, bewlldered man, when he
finds himself lost, has not travelled far
from his starting point. Distances
seem vastly greater in a strange woods
than they do on turnpike. Indeed, a
man cannot travel fast and far
through an underground. So the logic
OF the situation is to stand still, hal
loo often, fire both barrels of your
gun, and, finally, make smoke in

You've undoubtedly noticed during a
military review the officers salute
while passing the reviewing stand by
bringing the hilts of their swords to
their faces. 1t is custom which dates
back to the time Of the Crusaders.
When the Crusaders were on the
march to the Holy City, the knights
were in the daily habit of planting
their long, two-handled swords upright
in the ground, thereby forming a
cross, and before this they performed
their morning devotions. On all mill
tary occasions they kissed the hits
OF their swords in token of devotion to
the cross. The method of saluting bv
bringing the hand to horizontal no.
sition over the eyebrows dates back
to the tournaments of the middle ages
when after the Queen of Beauty was
enthroned, the knights, who were to
take the part in the sports of the dav
marched past the dias on which she
sat, and as they passed, shielded their
eyes from the rays of her beauty INV
placing their hands horizontally 70
their foreheads.

English society is disposed to regard
Lady Sarah Wilson, the handsome and
adventurous daughter of the house of
Marlborough, as modern Joan of Arc.
The adventures through which she is
passing in the Boer war are more ex-
traordinary than have fallen to the lot
OF any woman of rank In the present
century, and place her alongside those
women of the middle ages who defend
ed cities and endured the horrors of
war.
She was first besieged. then escaped;
was caught after many thrilling adj
ventures; acted as spy; was ordered
to be confined In certain town and es-
capped from 1t, and finally was ex-
changed for a Boer officer and returned
to the besieged place from which she
started. At the beginning of the war
Lady Sarah was with her husband,
Capt. Wordon Wilson, in Mafeking, the
chief town in British Bechuanaland,
which lies northwest of the Transvaal.
1t was held by Col Baden Powell, with
the Fifth Dragons, about 800 strong.
Capt. Wilson Is an officer OF the Horse
Guards, but was out In South Africa
on special service. and had attached
himself to Col. Baden-Powell for the
sake OF adventure. Lord Edward
Cecil. son of the British prime min
lister, the Marquis of Salisbury, was
there for the same reasons. The re-
doubtable Gen. Cronje who captured
jameson and his raiders, besieged Ma
feking with 5000 Beers. Col Baden
Powell reinforced his little body Of
regulars by enrolling and drilling all
the able-boded men in Mafeking. Thus
he gathered force OF nearly 1000 men
with which he has made brilliant de-
tense and furnished the most pic
turesque feature OF the war. Lady
Sarah took an active part In the work
of the soldiers, and even accompanied
the armored train that went out of
Mafeking to fight tho Beers. After
month Lady Sarah left Mafeking to
carry the news of the beleaguered gar
rison to the outside world. She start
cd out to ride over hundreds of miles
OF desert and mountains, infested not
only by armed Beers, but by wander

self fortunate that she was captured
by the Beers.
One morning at Setlagoli, a small
station In British territory, she was
aroused by the report of heavy firing.
Riding to the scene of the trouble she
found that British armored train had
been wrecked by the Beers The train
was commanded by Capt. Nesbitt, of
the Mashonaland mounted police, who
was trying to run through to Mafe-
king with ammunition. He and all his
men we're killed or captured
Lady Sarah was seen by the Beers
and taken prisoner. She was placed
In charge of a Boer and sent to Mo-
chudl, Boer center near Matching.
While there she established a regular
spy system, by means of which she
supplied Col. BadenPowell with infor-
nation OF the utmost value concerning
the Boer plans. BY informing him
that the Beers on the southern side
of Mafeking were being drawn away
to the siege of Kimberley she enabled
him to make a sortie. in which he
killed thirty Beers and captured $500
rounds of ammunition
Lady Sarah secured the services OF
a native runner, who became so devot-
ed TO her that he would have risked
death in any form to do her errands.
She used to meet him late at night on
the outskirts of her Boer hosts farm.
and there give him messages for the
besieged garrison of Mafeking. He
hid these in his luxuriant crop OF wool
which was bound up with copper ring
on the top of his head. Ultimately
the Boer commandant, Snyman, learned
that she had been sending dispatches
into Mafeking Up to that time he
had been in some doubt as to how to
treat her Now he had no more doubt.
He held her strictly a prisoner, locked
her up and put an armed guard over
her. Then Col Baden-Powell demand
ed Lady Sarah's release as a non-com-
blatant Commander Snyman replied
that she was spy, and that he was
behaving with leniency when he con-
sented to exchange her for an import

animated that he had a perfect right

safety Back to Texas.

The remarkable deed of Texas girl,
Cora Brandon, who with wonderful
skill and audacity rescued her lover
and now her husband-from prison
in Mexico, after running fights with
Mexican dragons, has placed her in
the lists of sensational heroines.
Last fall her lover, Randall Barrel,
went to Mexico, with other cowboys, in
the employ of wealthy cattleman for
the purpose of bringing large head
of wild steers back to Blanco county.
For a time Barrett wrote regularly and
then without any explanations his mis-

Habits of Snakes.

An eminent writer on birds and rep.

ly entertained that snakes fascinats
their prey is utterly exploded. 1t would
be somewhat interesting If this gentle
man would tell us what power 1t IA
that snakes exert over birds which
draws them against their will within
easy distance of the reptiles jaws.
The writer of this paragraph has seen
birds fiuttering in the air above the
heads OF snakes, apparently unable to
resist the influence that attracted
them. Whether it be fascination or
some other force, 1t unquestionably ex-
listed, although every one may not have
observed 1t. Snakes never bite. To
bite would be impossible, from the
formation of their jaws. They strike
from above, fastening their fangs into
their prey. after which they dispatch
1t, ordinarily by swallowing. Many va
rieties of snakes have the power to
conceal their young in their mouths
The tiny snakes play about the moth
er's head, and upon the slightest alarm
she opens her mouth, and they imme-
diately vanish, reappearing when the
cause for alarm seems to have been re-
moved. Whether the mother snake
has the faculty of communicating their
danger to them is not known; In all
probability she has. There are certain
fish that open their mouths and engulf
their small brood when danger threat
ems. The lover of nature finds endless
opportunity for interesting research in
the study OF every form of life.
