INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS.
Flesh Of the Little Amin ais IL Deem Cd
Dainty Dish By The
NAvaj0s

The Navajo Indian, while he cannot
be prevailed upon TO eat a rabbit, il
greedily fond Of fat prairie dogs.
Large communities Of these small AMI
mails abound on the western plains,
and the Navajo has resorted to many
ingenious methods for trapping his
coveted dainty. One Of them is by the
aid OF bit Of mirror placed at the
entrance TO burrow. When the ami
NAL ventures from his bedroom. deep
underground. he sees familiar
image mocking him at the front door,
and he hurries out to confront the
impudent intruder when he is pinned
to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method Is
what the Indians call the rain hunt.
AS soon as the steady downpour Of
summer rain begins every Navajo
who can walk repairs to the prairie
dog village with hoes, sharp sticks,
or any digging implement. With these
they hollow out trenches. that will
lead the storm water into as many
burrows as possible. Soon a Ntle
stream 10 pouring down each small
home, and the inmate, much disturbed,
pops out to see what the matter can
be. Many OF the animals remain un-
derground until they are drowned,
and their bodies foat to the surface.

pounds Of prairie dogs are generally
secured. there Is a feast for many days

NO CABBAGE LEAF CIGARS.
Mistaken Impression TGAt Many
People Get from the Hunos-
Ous Publications.

II believe" said Chicago cigar deal
there are actually many people who
think that cabbage leaves play an i'm
portant part in the manufacture of all
brands OF cigars. l suppose they get
their itcns from the comic papers and
the newspaper paragraphs Of lighter
vein.
what has been one Of the most
venerable jokes at present known to
man has by long use come 10 be ac-
oeptsd by many as sober truth. don't
say FOR a moment that there are not
many Of the cheap grades OF cigars
which contain many things besides leaf
tobacco, but nobody would bother
about putting cabbage lsavexin cigars,
for the simple reason that these leaves
are so ;hick-veined and peculiarly
shaped that they would no, roll up
with the tobacco leaf, and il they did
would make Jumps on the cigar like the
humps on a camel.
A cabbage is vile smelling thing
when II is dried and burned. and the
smoker Of the yilest cigars would turn
from II in scorn. II is because of the
villainous smell OF burning ca bbage,
suppose, that people first began as
sociating it with cheap cigars OF a loud
and strenuous odor. That is about the
only resemblance between the two.
Mullen leaves. which We used TO dry
and smoke when we were boys, are
much more suitable for the hl.ing of
poor cigars than cabbage leaves, and

ALASKA hard TO HANDLE.

COmpaHisoss.

Alaska has many grievances and has
suffered much from being underesti-
mated. The dime nsions Of the coun-
Try are too vast for conception with
out the aid of comparison, says the
St. Louis Globe Democrat. With its
area of over 1000 square miles it is
larger than all that portion Of the
United States lying east Of the Miss;s
sippi river and north Of Georgia and
the Carolinas, and twice az large as
the Oregon country, which now en-
braces the states Of Oregon, Washing
ton. Idaho and the principal part of
Montana and Wyoming The governor
in his office at Sitka Is as far from the
western limit Of his territory as he
is from Eastport, Ne, and the little
island of Attu is so far west that it
counts its longitude east from Green
wich.
The length OF Alaska's coast line is
greater than the combined length Of
the Atlantic and the Pacific seaboards.

travels very slowly across this great

said the captain Of one of the dock
departments steam launches, accord
ing TO the New York Times. Not
sery long ago a raft OF 40 or so piles
broke up and went adrift one night
\. the foot OF East Twenty-fourth
street. As these piles cost all the
way from eight dollars to SEQ apiece,
they were worth chasing. so just as
soon as the loss was discovered In the
morning I started out.
The search continued down the
East river and along the Brooklyn
side through Buttermilk channel, but
without results. Over on the south
shore Of Governor's island we found
eight or ten Of the missing sticks.
We ran along down by Bay Ridge,
and had about decided to abandon
our efforts. when we reached Fort
Hamilton. But we thought we might
as well make good job of it, and
little way farther on. just beyond
the Narrows and around on the north
side Of Gravesend bay, We found
about half OF the wayward piles.
They had travelled down there, a dis
tance Of about ten miles, on one tide,

with it to get his money back until
he had devoted considerable thought

he knew how.
''He quietly went TO the gold COM
missioner and announced that he
wished to pay his ten per cent. royalty

which was $4,000. The commissioner
accepted the $4,000 royalty and gave

The thrones of monnrchs Of the old
world are not always located in the
royal palaces. That is, some po-
tentateS can boast Of more than one
such piece of ornamental furniture.
For instance, Great Britain has no
distinctive and exclusive throne. In
stead there are four-the wooden
chair, with the slab OF Scotch stone,
in Westminster abbey, which has
served as the coronation seat OF the
monarchs of this realm for seven cen
turies; the sumptuoux chair OF state
in the house of lords; the chair on
which the late queen sat when hold

palace, and the gilt armchair at
Windsor in which the sovereign sits

audience to dusky potentates.
The car Of Russia is even more
diversely throned. Each OF a dozen
chairs of state are at various times
styled the Russian throne. The two
most remarkable are the chairs OF
Ivan the Terrible and the one in st.
Georges hall of the winter palace at
St. Petersburg. The former is OF
turquoises. In the back alone there
are 10000 of these gems. The other
chair Is of costly woods, with ivory

Remarkable Epeape

One Of the greatest curiosities in the
neighborhood of New York is now to
be seen at the foot of the Palisades.
Between two frame houses built there
is a giant bowlder IS feet high and 20
feet wide, which fell from great
height, at the top of the Palisades, and
sweeping down the front of the cliffs,
uprotted big trees, tore up tons of
loose stone and cut wide swath the
entire distance. Finally, after zig
Tagging from one side to the other, it
rolled in between two frame houses
and stopped there. The people were
asleep in the houses when the rock
started. They had barely time to
make their escape when it made it's
appearance at their front doors. They
are now thanking their lucky stars
that the enormous stone did not hit
one Of the buildings.
