BIRDS FROZEN TO DEATH.
Sudden Cold Snap on a Lake
So. In Washington.

A very singular incident was noted
in the neigh borhood of LOOMS, Wash,
as a result of a recent and sudden cold
snap. Some four miles above LOOMS
is a large, beautiful mountain lake
and among the native fowl that collect
on the lake are many mudhens, a home
ly and useless member of the web
foot family so common all over this
country as to be well known to every
sportsman. The nature of the bird
when flush ed is to fly, or flop, along the
surface of the water
For the first time that it has ever
been noticed the mudhens have re-
NAMED upon the lake this late in the
season. The recent cold weather was
inaugurated with a stiff and bitter
gale, churning the lake into many
waves. AS the birds flew along the
surface, striking the water, the ice
formed upon them so rapidly that they
lost the power of locomotion and 200
or 300 Of them were caught in the rap
idly forming ice and frozen to death.
This may not be an uncommon circum-
stance, says a LOOMS special to the
Seattle Times, but it is the first time it
has ever been seen by the residents of
this locality.

GROWING BUFFALO HERDS.
Canadian Bison Promise to Become
Quite Numerous In the Next
/ Few Years.

The buffaloas are increasing in such
proportions in Canada that thew
promise in the course of a few wears
to become again fairly abundant.
Some time ago they threatened to
become extinct, says a Quebec report.
The herd of woods. buffaloes in
the Peace river district has trebled
in size under the protection afforded
it by the Northwest mounted police.
Five years ago it was estimated that
there were not more than 80 buffaloes
in the herd; now there are 400.
In appearance there is little differ
ence between the woods buffalo and
the plains buffalo. The former is
merely larger, richer-coated animal.
1t differs materially, however, in> it's
habits from the subspecies which in
habited the plains, and which, has I'M
doubtedly passed away, except for
the presence of few animals in cap
tivity and in the Yellowstone Nation
al park. f. =.
This species preferred the plain and
travelled hundreds of miles in it's an
nual migra tions, while the Canadian
buffalo shuns the prairie and migrates
but little.

THUMB-MARK AS A SEAL.
Has Been Used in China and Else.
where In Attestation of Legal
DOcuments-

An army officer in Arizona used to
make his orders for payment on
camp sutler, and use his own thumb
mark to serve the same purpose as the
elaborate markings on bank checks.
The thumbmark has been used in
China and elsewhere in attesta ton of
deeds. Sir William Herschel intro
duced finger marks for practical pur-
poses in several ways in India. He had
heard that Chinese criminals in early
times were made to give the impress
sions Of their fingers just as the Grim
lnals of this country are now photo
graphed. In Egypt the criminals were
made to seal their confessions with
their thumbnails, as the country serv-
ant girls used to seal their letters. Ac-
cord$ngly Sir William adopted the reg
lstration of finger markings for pen
sloners. He suspected that others
personated these officials after the
pensioners were dead; he therefore
employed this means of entifoat ion.
This led to the scientific identifcat ion
OF criminals-each prisoner signed
book with his finger. Comparing the
signatures Of persons made after an
interval of 20 years he proved that
time makes no such material differ
ence as to affect the utility of the plan
There is marked difference between
the ma rks OF males and females,

HORSES LIKE TOBACCO.

.S1'''You bet your life that horses love
tobacco said a horse owner to the
man who was inclined to doubt his
original assertion that horses were
very fond of chewing tobacco, relates
the Washington Star. ~""Don't they?"
he asked the fat policeman who was
listening to the argument. The latter
assented, and the first speaker went
on. "My old friend here" pointing to
the policeman, remembers that roam
horse used to have. Well, every morn
ing when 1 went into the nag's stall
she looked around at me as much as
to ask if had brought her morning
chew of tobacco with me. I used to
tease her by pretending 1 did not see
her, but she would look around again,
and then begin to make noise. After
I would tease her awhile I would give
her a. good chew of tobacco, and she
would be satisfied. Then I gave her
the morning meal on top of that. The
tobacco was somewhat stimulating,
and whenever it is once started you
may be sure you will have to keep it
up. It prevents collie, and makes the
coats of the animals sleek and pretty.
I remember a horse I used to have
that frequently gave a chew of my to-
bacco. One day pulled a long plug
of the weed out of my pocket, and
after taking chew myself handed it
over to the horse. The animal tore off
a big chew and was rolling it around
in his mouth when I looked around and
saw an old woman standing there.
You ought to be ashamed of YOURSELF
she said. Isn't it bad enough to chew
tobacco yourself, without teaching
the poor beast to contract the vile
habit?' I didn't answer her, as l felt
certain that the horse was enjoying
himself, while the woman fussed.'

WATCH THE SMALL CHANGE.
Pennies and Nickels Are Counter
feited More Than Are the
Larger Pieces.

did you ever think how little atten-
ton you pay to the possibility of coun-
terfedts in making changeW asked an
old bank teller of friend, relates the
Chicago Tribune. "And did you ever
think that most of the attention that
is paid to it by the public is so much
waste of effort?''
But it is a. fact. You never think
when the street car conductor puts
the change from a quarter in your
hand that both dimes may be counter
felt. You take onedollar, two-dollar,
fved o,lar and ten-dollar bills from
anybody in change without ever a
thought as to their genuineness. But
if a stranger tries to pass $40 bill on
you you begin to get shaky, while a $50
or 500 bill is almost impossible to be
rid of in a street of small shops.
yet you could hardly hire a counter
feiter to try to make and pass bills
above ten dollars in value. If a stran-
ger should come into your place of
business and ask change for $50 bill
it would scare you stiff for fear of a
counterfeit, whereas the chances
would be 9991a in 1000 that the bill was
good.
"You noticed the other day, on the
other hand, that the United States gov
eminent was much concerned over the
counterfeit one-cent pieces that are
now flooding Chicago. Yet I'll bet you
never looked at the genu1neness of a
one-cent piece in your life"
