About a dozen recruits for the army

she caught a lock of his hair and
reaching down in the pocket of her

and cut off the lock of hair. Those
standing by laughed and the young

When Matches We're introduced.

The Atlas, a London newspaper,
published on January 10, 1880, the fol-
lowing paragraph under the head of
instantaneous Light" Amongst the
different methods invented for obtain
ing light instantaneously ought cer-
tainly to be recorded that of Mr..
Walker, chemist, Stockton-on -onTees. He
supplies the purchaser with prepared
matches which are put into tin boxes,
but are not liable to change in the
atmosphere, and also with a piece of
fine glass paper folded in two. Even
a strong blow will not infiame the
matches which are put into tin boxes,
the wood underneath, nor does rub
bing upon wood or any common sub
stance produce any effect except that
of spelling the match; but when one
is pinched between the folds of the
glass paper and suddenly drawn out
1t is instantly inflamed Mr.. Walker
does not make them for extensive sale,
but only to supply the small demand in
his own neighborhood." d."-Newcast

Deaths of Presidents.

A remarkable parallel, hitherto I'M
remarked, exists between the deaths
of Benjamine Harrison and George
Washington.
The first and the twenty-third Presi-
dents of the Republic died at exactly
the same age-sixty-seven-a of the
same disease-pneumonia In both
cases the fatal illness was a short one,
and In all essential particulars tie
parallel is close.
If there is any astrological or other
significance in the age and manner of
death, there is doubtless an indissol-
uble link between the departed spirits
of the Father of his Country and of
the soldier statesman from Indiana.
Four Presidents hay, died of debil-
ity, three of paralysis, only one Of
consumption, three from bilious dis
eases, two from dysentery, two We're
assassinated, while asthmatic ca
tarrh, inf" nmation of stom' ch, rheu-
matte gout, cancer and Bright's dis.
ease have account d for one each.

Of the hudson, but several animals,
killed year or SO ago in the noun
tains just northwest of Stony Point,
have been described in such a manner
as to make il appear probable that
they were lynxes. The wildcat, of
course, occurs in the Adirondacks and
Catskills, and is occasionally killed in
the highlands of Orange County.
From 1871 down to within a few
years the State paid bounty of $50
for wolves, and we have therefore an
almost complete record of the speci-
mems killed in that time. In the years
1871 to 1897, inclusive, ninety-eight
were killed, the greatest number in
any one year being twenty-one, in
1882. All save one of these animals
were killed in the Adirondack coun-
ties. The exceptional individual was
from Broome County. 1t is noteworthy
that no fewer than thirty-nine of the
ninety-eight were killed by one man,
George Muir.
For panthers-pumas, more proper
ly speaking-we have the same exact
data as a twenty-dollar bounty was
paid for this species. In the same sew
enteen years bounties were paid on
107 pumas, the last recorded having
been killed in 1890, in Saratoga Coun-
ty. The maximum number killed in
any one year was twenty-one, in 1888.
All those killed We're in the Adiron-
dack counties, st. Lawrence heading
the list with forty-four, while the
second county, Lewis, is credited with
twenty-three. The same George Muir
who had such remarkable luck in the
matter of killing wolves had still more
extraordinary fortune as a hunter of
panthers, having killed siXty-seven out
of the entire 107. His total receipts
from the State, as bounties on wolves
and panthers killed, amounted to
$3.50, most of which was obtained in
few years in the early sos.
1t seems probable that the puma,
though undoubtedly now very rare,
can still be found in the wilder por-
tions of the Adirondacks. The wolf is
known to occur, though hardly COM
mon inhabitant.
Our only marsupial, the opossum, is
a widely distributed though hardly
well-known mammal. 1t seems to
have extended its range to the north
in comparatively recent times, and is
now found pretty well throughout the
State, though still most common in
Orange and Rockland counties and on
Long Island.

CAMP JEWETT.

II you are coming to the Pan-American Ex-
position, the following will interest YOU
We believe that hotel accommodations will
be limited. We are constructing fine Camp
situated near the Exposition in most beau
tiful rart of the city. The Pan-American
Grounds can lie reached in walk of fifteen
minutes, or in five minutes by trolley line
passing the Camp. The beautiful Delaware
Park AMI the Zoo are Immediately adjoining.
The Camp will be composed OF 175 12xl4
feet wall tents with fly, floored, electric lights
and furnished the same rs flrst-class hotel
bedroom. We shall have all conveniences,
such as baggage room, postofilce, telephone,
toilet rooms, etc, board walks to all points,
and laundry. Our rate will be 81 per day for
each tent containing two double beds, OF
S1.50 per day for tent with one double bed.
This will make the expense much cheaper
than hotel prices. A large dining hail will be
provided, in which meals will be furnished at
reasonable prices.

railway depots, take Main Street, Buffalo and

Klondike Has an Equable Climate.

An Illusion in the minds of the al
Informed is that the climate of TIA
Klondike is such as to make life un-
endurable. The fact is that the win
ter from November to March is no
harder than in the northern part of
New York, Minnesota or Wisconsin,
and better than the blizzard stricken
States further West on account of the
small snowfall. While it is true that
the thermometer will go as low as
forty degrees below zero for forr or
five days during the winter, the wealth.

allow outdoor mining operations dur

German Crown Prince in Love.

1t is rumored on the continent that
the crown prince of Germany. whose
soldierly bearing called forth much
favorable comment during his short
stay in England, has actually fallen in
love with one of the youngest grand
daughters of the late Queen Victoria.
The girl in question is only IA years
old, so that no wedding festivities
are anticipated for some time to come,
but the story goes that the young
couple have been formally betrothed
to one another with the consent and
approval of both the king and the
German emperor. The princess is an
attractive little maid. and is the
daughter of one of the most popular
ladies in England.

Wolves Abundant in Northern Canada.

Wolves are rapidly increasing in
many of the forest lands of Northern
Canada. AT st. Agathe, only sixty
five miles from Montreal, Mr.. Bramble,
a deer-hunter, declares that he has
been kept awake at night in camp by
the bowling Of the beasts. Their ap-
pearance in such large numbers of late
is undoubtedly due to the large in
crease in the herds of deer throughout
the country. Wolves have also made
their appearance in the valley of the
st. Maurice, causing great destruction
among the red deer. They are also eX-
ceedingly numerous in the woods north
of Ottawa and on the Ontario side of
the Ottawa River. Hunters say that
each wolf kills on an average thirty
deer in the course of year; conse-
quently there is demand FOR the pay
ment by the Government of bounty
upon the heads of the brutes. = New
