Hunting the Caribou.
Golfers Weekly.)

At one time the Crown Land Office of
New Brunswick wished to get some live
caribou for exhibition purposes, and Henry
Braithwaite, VIII White, and Harry Turn
bull were employed to catch the animals
They went up into the Napadaugan coun.
try where there were plenty of them, and,
the snow being deep, they soon caught a
small cow caribou, put a halter around
its neck and led it to their camp. The
next day they started out to see if they
could catch bull. Henry can travel very
fast on snOwshOes, and once held the
| championship of New Brunswick, which
he won in a snOwshOe race against an In
dian who was nearly twice as big as him
self. The three men got on the track of
caribou, and III the excitement of the
| chase Henry was soon far ahead of his
companions. Coming up with the caribou.
which was big bull, it turned and faced
him, not trying at all to get away. By
the time White and Turnbull came up,
Braithwaite had a rope around the carl
bOu's neck. The animal was large and
heavy, and proved very refractory, jump
! ing from side to side, drawing himself
| backward, and making the proceedings in
teresting but not profitable. While Braith-
waite pulled. the two other men cut crotch
ed sticks, which would not injure the carl
bou, and pushed him along from behind.
1t was hard travelling in the big woods.
and so the caribou catchers thought it
would be good idea to lead their captive
on the smooth surface of the frozen
Napadaugan, which lay in the direction of
their camp. Three inches of hard snow
on the top of the ice made an excellent
footing. When the caribou felt his hoofs
on this sure foundation he lowered his
head, made a rush at Braithwaite, and
sent him sprawling on the ice. where he
Slipped for distance of ID or 20 feet
If the caribou had not recently shed his
antlers the result might have been more
serious. Brathwaite mad the halter rope
+, wound about his wrist, and, although bad
ly shaken up, did not let go. His friends
came to his rescue with their crotched
sticks, and as the dead water route did not
seem likely to prove successful, captors
and prisoner turned back again into the
deep snow of the forest. Here they made
very slow progress, and night approached
when they We're still a considerable dis
tance from camp. Coming to a little pond
surrounded by alders, the men cut an open
space with their axes and left the caribou

the caribou had given him, but all three
started back to bring the animal out to

| caribou, fresh disappointment awaited
them. The pond had frozen when the wa
ter had gone down, leaving a shell of ice
three or four feet above the water. The
sharp hoofs of the caribou had broken
through this shell of ice, and he had fallen
down. In his struggles the rope had got
a half-hitch around his fOreleg. and so the
poor animal had hanged himself until he
was dead. He was frozen stiff, so that
when they lifted him out on to the ice
they found he would stand alone.
An old trapper named Sanford Bartlett
had a camp only about a mile from the
scene of this accident. and as they had no
use for the frozen caribou, they concluded
they would give it to Bartlett. SO they
went up to tell him where 1t was. When
they reached his camp he was just start
ing out They asked him how his luck
was, and he told them he had been hunt
ing caribou all the day before, but had
not got any. Remembering how lifelike
the frozen caribou looked. standing ON the
ice among the alders, Braithwaite and
Turnbull mischievOusly told Bartlett they
had seen some fresh tracks that very morn
ing, down by the pond. Bartlett thanked
them for the information and started off
to find the caribou.
The cOnspirators went their way, and
had not gone half 4 mile before they heard
tremendous fuslladc. They did not see
Bartlett for long time after that, but
when they met him he told them that.

caribou standing among the bushes and
began firing at it. 1t did not fall and he
shot at ii until he had used up every one
of his cartridges. Then he went down To

all of our blue suits were packed up
and stored for use on the way home. Dur
ing the fighting and hard-hiking period
we wore the regulation khaki suits, but
on garrison duty we used all white, and
a very nice outfit it was, being cool, neat
and attractive.
The officers and mems suits were very
much alike, except that the former had
collar devices and also devices On the
shoulders indicating the rank.
1t was necessary to have two suits of
white, and often three, so that while one
suit was being worn, another at the laun-
dry, third would be in the barracks
chest in readiness for q ceremony or for
some unusual occasion.
This outfit If suits being a part Of the
necessary operation of Americanizing the

storing of white clothes only.

Apart from its extremely coarse and brit

Physical Characteristics of the Jews.
New York Sun

Measurements of Jews have been taken
sporadicaiiy i'll most European countries,
the result being a demonstration that they
are the shortest and narrOwest of Euro
peans. The fact that Jewish skulls, I'M
like those Of the Arabs and Syrians, who
are dolichocephalic or long-headed, are al
most the broadest in all Europe, is thought
by the author of the article before us to
be due to cerebral development. As re-
CARDS the complexion, the Jews are darker
than the surrounding peoples. except in
Galicia. The hair is also darker; on the
average, 10 per cent. have black hair, as
against to 4 per cent, which is the
European average. Curiously enough,
however, there is larger proportion of
red-haired men among Jews than in any
other race. Among Jews about One-ffth
nave blue eyes, as against One-third in
the population of Europe, taken as a
whole. Altogether, about one-fourth of
the Jews can be described as fair. Jew
esses seem to be more keen-sighted and to
have greater strength of grip than other
women. The nose is generally considered
the characteristic feature of the Jews;
they have, on the average, the longest
and narrowest noses in Europe; the dis
tlnctive shape of this feature is due to
the accentuation of the nostrils. The lips
of Jews are also characteristic, as large
proportion as 4S per cent being thick.
HeSe are IUe cicmeIl1S tDat go TO make
the marked Jewish type, which is exhib-
tied in the ASsyrian bas-reliefs, as we'll
as in the Ghetti of today.
The predominantly narrow girth of Jews
would give them what is technically
known as the lowest Index Of vitality
Statistics prove otherwise, however There
are fewer still-births among them than
among other European peoples. and their
deathrate is lower than that of their
Christian neighbors. Especially is this
true of children under five years of age.
low death-rate is shown, in fact, in al
most all the remaining ages, until the
very highest age is reached. 1t has even
been suggested that Jews should claim
special life tables and premium rates from
the insurance companies. Jews have been
credited with immunity from tuberculosis,
but the evidence on this point is not sat
isfactory. They are, unquestiOnably, frcer
than others from alcoholism, and
they are less liable to vene-
real diseases. On the other hand,
they are said to be comparatively frequent
sufferers from diabetes and hemOrrhOids
| owing, probably, to their sedentary hab-
its. For the reason, probably, that they
are mostly town dwcllers, and earn their
living by brain work, they are more sus-
ceptible than their Christian ncighbors to
diseases of the nervous system, as is
shown by the larger percentage of deaf
and dumb, blind and insane among them
Jews are markedly more colOr-blnd thau
Christians, at least one-half as much
again. We observe, finally, that Israel
ties are superior to Christians as regards
the propensity to suicide, few among them
resorting to self-destruction.

over large territory, the Colonel and
Adjutant had every detachment at their
tinger-tips. Frequent inspections were
made, to see if the officers and men kept
themselves provided with every article of
wear and equipment, for guerrilla bands
and bodies of ladrones were wandering
about the country, and if a band of 90
to 100 attempted to attack town in
which the American force may be but
% or 80 men, it is essential that every
man have his fghting-ge gear in proper or
der.
Severe penalties were imposed upon
men who had their rifles in bad shape or
whose equipments were missing or broken,
so that in very short time every officer
and man provided himself with the neces-
sary outfit with which to meet Il foe.
Mess-kits received special attention, for
in this country little rust on the metallic
surfaces may get into n cut on ones hand
and cause blood poisoning. All kits were
therefore polished with ashes twice

Two Bears Killed by a Woman.

ranch on the Fountain, 10 miles south of
Colorado Springs, has just added two bear
pelts to her stock of rugs and is in close
pursuit of 4 third.
When she returned home from this city
Saturday she found three brown bears in
possession. They retired as she drove up,
but returned during the night. Mean
while a trap had been set and a double
charge of bear shat had been rammed
down the trusty rifle. Daylight showed
the three bears close to the trap, the
mother bear having been caught. She was
shot dead, as was a cub, their weights be-
ing 600 and 100 pounds respectively.
