Game 10 Tempt the Sportsman.

Hunting big game has an irresistible
attraction for all sportsmen, and the
more rare the species being sought,
the more keen is the hunters delight.
The big game Of this country is com
p%aratively well known, but Asia offers
some rare species, they are sought
every year by countless sportsmen OF
all ]nationalitles, usually without sue
cess.
An ambition OF big game hunters
is to capture. or shoot, a snow leopard.
This rare animal lives on the snow
covered Himalayas. and seldom is seen
at an elevation of less than II 900 feet.
He liz a beautiful creature, white as
the o he lives among, and Is both
wild and savage. Even in the great
attitudes where he makes his home
he is extremely rare, and not only
have few persons shot him, but few
even have seen him. Any n who
wants to stand in the first rank OF big
game men should try for a snow
leopard; II he gets one his reputation
Is made.
An animal known to exist, but OF
which nc white man ever has seen
the dead body, is the mountain ibeY of
Kamchatka. This great peninsular OF
Kamchatka, whose half a million
square miles is inhabited by less than
1000 people, Is probably the least
known of any land in the world not
circumpolar. Down its center runs a
chain OF great mountains, many OF
them active volcanoes and others COW
cred with thick forests up to a height
OF 1000 or 5000 feet. Above the tim
Der line lives a species OF ibex, or
mountain sheep, larger and stronger
than any that exist elsewhere. The
natives show bits of the skins of these
animals and some of their enormous
horns, but no white man ever has seen
a whole n alive OF dead, much less
killed one.

Royal Family Secrets.

A few months x the Empress Fred
erick caused her journals and her corr
~respondence TO ne destroyed, including
an immense collection OF letters writ
ten by Queen Victoria, most Of which
were, OF course. OF a strictly cOnfiden-
tial nature. The late Empress was no
doubt anxious to prevent any posi-
bility Of a repetition of the vexatious
tracasseries which arose about the pa
pers OF Emperor Frederick and caused
so much trouble during the summer
OF 1888. until they were safely de-
posted among the IIohenzOllern family
archives at Berlin. II Is believed that
the famous diary, about which there
were such floods OF gossip. was burnt
shortly after this removal. IL Ia well
known that Queen Victoria had q great
deal OF trouble and anxiety about the
Prince ConsOrt's confidential corre-
spondence with his brother. the late
Duke Ernest OF Saxe-COburg-Gotha.
Prince Albert wrote most openly to his
brother and his weekly letters were full
Of private family affairs and OF social
and political secret history. Ultimately
Duke Ernest handed over the Princes
letters to the Queen, who also re-
covered her husbands correspondence
with his cousin, the late king of POrtu-
gal.-London Truth.

4 GIANT FuCHS!h.

Portland, Oregon.

Mag nincent Specimen of This rIant In
Portland, Oregon.
The largest and most magnificent
fuchsia plant In this city, and prob
ably In the state. Is 10 be seen in the
garden of Robert Foulkes. says the
Portland O%regonian. II springs from a
single stem some three inches in diam
ctcr. but divides into three Mt the sur
face of the ground. The top is seven
feet in height and is twenty-six feet
In circumference. and Is loaded with
hundreds Of beautiful flowers In every
stage OF development. while the ground
beneath is carpctcd with fallen bios
SONS. The plant would have been
much higher and broader but for the
fact that II has to be put In the cellar
every winter and the limbs have to be
trimmed Off. lhc height has to be re-
duced 80 that il can stand under the
floor above. A rather remarkable thing
is that when the plant is dug up at the
beginning Of winter, il Ii In full foliage
and still loaded with blossoms. Up
roofing almost any plant in this on
dition would prove fatal, but the fuch-
STA takes IL all as n matter Of course,
and soon after 1t Is houses the leaves
and flowers fade and drop of and the
plant goes to sleep. As soon as 1t feels
the breath Of spring 1t begins to put
forth tender shoots in profusion, as a
hint that IL wants TO get out Of doors.
When 1t. Is planted ont. 1t starts in
growing and blowing" as II to make
up for lost time. Mr.. Fonlkes has sew
eral other varieties OF fuchsia in his
garden. II OF which produces bcauti-
full blossoms eight inches in length

NicctlonecrIrg Among the Tribes on
Eniher Unlnnc rinn.

Rather Unique rinn.
Tho campaigns OF the Indians arc o
story of sharp moves and deep laid
plans. and. as among themselves they
cannot all be bosses, the game of poll
tics often becomes swift and exceed
ingly dangerous. E"lcctioneering Is
carried on In n rather unique manner.
They give big picnics in tho back
wOCGs. Here the candidates meet and
debate ON certain subjects. II their
temper gets the better of them. and
IL generally does, they fight 1t out.
At a picnic given by the Cherokees
some V years ago three men were

and gives vouchers on the government.
SO ~ II ~Leno.all understood TIA tho
rNpcnfc3 OF the campaign are borne
out OF the public funds. There is no
such thing as taxation among tie In
dians, all of their money coming rom
invested funds in the treasury at

indian popnlaco not to keep this money
there. but TO get hold of as nu1h OF

Monumental Brasses.

At the beginning OF the thirteenth
century 1t occurred to some one to
preserve the likeness Of his departed
friend, as well as the symbols Of his
rank and station, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. SO etigies were introduced
upon the surface of the slabs, and were
carved fat, but ere fifty years had
passed away. the art OF the sculptor
produced magnificent monumental ef-
figies. Knights and mobiles lie clad
In armor with their ladies' by their
sides; bishops and abbots bless the
spectators with uplifted right hands;
judges lie in their official garb; and
merchants with the emblem OF their
trade. At their feet lie animals.
usually having some heraldic connec
ton with the deceased, or symbolicaI
of his work; e. g., a dragon is trodden
down beneath the feet OF a bishop,
signifying the defeat Of sin as the re.
suit OF his ministry. The heads OF
efigies usually rest on cushions which
are sometimes supported by tive
angels.

Morley Roberts.

Morley Roberts,
Mr.. Smith, who ran a sailors board
ing-house In that part Of San Fran
cisco known as the Barbary Coast, was
absolutely sui generis.
Every breeze that blew. trade-wind
or monsoon, had heard of his iniqui-
ties. He got the best OF everyone.
"All but one," said Smith, n night,
In a moment Of weakness, when a doz-
en- men who owed so much money that
they crawled to him as a Chinaman
does to a joss were hanging on his
lips; "all but one"
"Oh, we don't take that in" said
one of the most indebted; W ant

him on the pier at cambridge when !

The following story was related the
other day in the Liverpool (England)
Post. Seated in a third class carriage
OF a south bound express were eight
people. Seven Of the number were
quietly reading, when suddenly the
eight broke into deep and blood
curdling groans. Horror-stricken the
rest gazed at him for a moment. and
then one Of them, with great presence
OF mind, produced q brandy flask,
and, pouring out a c0pious draught,
forced 1t on the sufferer. 1t was
quickly disposed Of. How do you feel
now" inquired n OF the company.
''Prime!" was the reply. What was
the matter with yOu?" was the next
query. Matter with ME? Nothing!"
was the indignant retort. What In
tho name of thunder did you groan
like that for, them" cried the owner
OF the brandy. "Groan, sir-groan!"
