NEW ZEALAND MOOSE.
Attempt to Acclimatize Canadian Biz
 Game in the Antipodes.

Game in the Antipodes.
 Canadian moose and caribou are not only being extensively hunted this season by sportsmen from all parts of the world, but by special permission of the authorities, live specimens of these species of North American large gal are being shipped to various foreign countries. large consign- ment of moose has lately been sent to New Zealand. About year ago tho government of New Zealand decided to attempt to acclimatize the North American moose there and entered into correspondence with the Cana dian government. The authorities of Ottawa promised to assist the project and with the help of c. c. Chipman chief commissioner of the Hudson Bay company, thirteen baby moose none of them more than a few weeks old, were got together in the Lake Manitoba country. These were hand reared for six or eight mo els on chopped food, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc., special care being taken to get them sufficiently tame for the long voyage that was before them. The railroad company from Portage la Prairie to the Pacific coast was about 1,600 niles, and they were embarked on board the steamship Aorangi for sea voyage of month to the An- tipodes
 Four very fine specimens of New foundland caribou were recently sent from St. Johns to the National Zoo logical parks at Washington. They were shipped by United States Consul Carter at St. Johns on board the steamship Sylvia, bound for New York. They were caught when quite young by George Nichols at Deer Pond and were so docile that they would follow Nichols al put like dogs Orders were recently received at Que- bee for live beavers for Bronx Park, New York, but as the capture of these animals is at present prohibited there il may Ie ee 10 t:a.e before any can be

LAWS OF K AFFIRS.
A Widow May Marry fer Deceased Illus.
 IA he


 bands Brother.
 The duties of husband and wife are distinctly defined among the K9fiirs Of South Africa. The husband does not expect his wife to build the kraa or nut. That is his work IL takes faOn five hundred to a thousand young trees to make the beehive kind of dwelling which is in favor and which is excel- lently adapted for protection. When the husband has erected the hut it is the Wife's place to cut grass carry it nome, and thatch the kraal once a year. She looks after all that is need- cd in the hut. cooks the food. gets the hreWood, and makes the beer, which IS not small task, for the men drink It in immense quantities. It is made rom millet and mealies, and is mild put intoXica rg. Until tuite recently everything was carried on the head. A Zulu woman will carry POO pounds or mealies in this fashion. When a katfr was first seen carrying load by the hand instead of on his head, the Dutch thought it a dangerous imita- ton of European fashion Women nave so far asserted themselves as to refuse to hoe the mealies for planting. put they will weed A woman goes aoout with her baby tied on her back While she rocks herself and croons to It. When a man dies his widow may she chooses. become the wife of his brother. Shs stays at the kraal, and all the children, including those of the new marriage, are held to belong to her eldest son, who takes his fathers place as guardian, and has the privil- ege of using, supposedly for the com mon good, all the wages of the young CT sons. It thus sometimes happens that little boy is head over his mother and older sisters If the widow ooes not choose to marry the brother. put takes another husband, she loses all control of her children, who stay Tn their fathers kraal.-Youth's Con- panion.

Straud n D,sgracefnl Place.

The Pall Mall Gazette, disc ..5sing the recent brutal conduct of the crowds assembled in London to wit ness demonstrate of surpassing popular interest, says: But the oues. tion of the state of our streets is not confined to some gala day. The Strand on any Sunday night is a disgrace to our civilization. No one would care to walk with a lady along the Strand on Sunday night, the chances being so many that she would be insulted In the metropolis at least there is dis tinct deterioration in the manners of the crowd. And this deterioration is coincident with the rise of that ac- cursed thing called 'Hooliganism It is incredible the mischief that band of these evil-smelling young ruffians can perpetrate under cover of crowd of people Their one desire is to cause pain and annoyance and neither wom- en nor children are exempt from their brutality"

LIVING EXPENSES.
Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than They
 Were Thirty Years Ago,

The interesting disclosure is made that the cost of living is less in the United States today than it was in the 1860. Carefully compiled statistics show that articles costing S10O then cost $13 now. It is true that d few things arc more expensive, but com modities consumed generally by fam flies, such as 5readstuffs, sugar, rice, salt, woolen and cotton goods, boots and shoes, and silk and rubber goods, are considerably cheaper now than they were thirty years ago. All manu faetured goods, with hardly an excep- tion, are cheaper, mainly because of which enable the maker to reduce the cost to the lowest point, says Leslie's Weekly. The development of our vast arable territory in the west, north west and southwest, and the striking results of irrigation, when applied to what were formerly considered desert lands, have increased our crop sup plies more rapidly than the increase of population. Despite the dire predic tions that prices of wheat corn and cotton must inevitably advance be- cause little land remained to be culti- vated in the west and south. the fact is that millions of acres are still await ing tillage. In Texas alone an area almost as extensive as that of the original thirteen states is virgin soii. The emigrant may have to go farther and work harder to establish q home stead in the United States, but Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give every able-bodied, industrious newcomer chance to own farm.
