EgIifb Boiling G>afer.

Captain Alexander Petrowa, a Rus
sian officer of artillery noted for his
skill in hunting big game, while in New
York a few days ago described a singu-
lar wolf hunt in Russia in which he
took part last winter:
81 had been invited by an uncle, Bar
on Imhoff, to spend fortnight with
him at his country house in northwest
ern Russia, about hundred miles from
Volinsk.
81 reached the place one afternoon
late in February, and next morning,
after a hearty breakfast, our party,
warmly wrapped in furs, took seats in
a big sleigh drawn by splendid team
of the best horses in my uncle's stables.
"The sleigh which followed close be-
hind us was a puzzle to me because of
it's queer load. Instead of the usual
paraphernalia of hunting expedition
it was filled with planks joists, iron
bars, and had in the middle of this
queer assortment a big stove all ready
to be set up and a lot of rubber garden
hose. together with hand pump and a
great iron kettle.
"After a fast run of about two hours
our sleigh drew up at little cabin sit
uated on the edge of thick forest. An
immense plain spread out before us for
many miles, and not far away was Il
herd of perhaps fifty horses in an in
closed field watched over by two armed
men. There was also a strong Enclosure
in which the horses were kept at night.
1.-THE two carpenters who had come
along in the sleigh which carried the
planks and the stove Immediately set
to work unloading that material and
clearing away little plot of ground in
front of the cabin. Within an hour or
so they had put up solid structure
about seven feet high, all grated with
iron bars. 1t looked much like a big
menagerie cage placed in such ,posi-
ton that we could pass into it from
the front door of the cabin.
''In the center of this cage the stove
was set up and a fire built in it.
Enough wood was gathered to keep a
hot blaze going all night long. The
carcass of the dead horse was placed
near the cage.
GAS soon as night fell we entered the
cage, and soon the wolves began to
gather, attracted by the promise Of a
FEAST
"Soon they became sufficiently bold
to attack the horse, and then the sport
began. $50

at a speed approXimating twenty miles
an hour was made without a collision
of some kind is matter of wonder.
When the engine made it's plunge
through the Arcade depot, an accident
was averted only by seconds. The
overland from Ell Paso, filled to the
platforms with colonists, pulled into
the depot at 1 90 o'clock and after dis
charging it's human cargo took the sid
ing at the south end of the depot just
as the runaway engine appeared at the
north entrance. Part of the baggage,
still ON the track, was sent flying as
the engine rushed down the main track
so close that the air sent the lights
land. No warning whistle announced
it's coming; no headlight danced over
the pilot. Swiftly and with a roar it
sped on it's path toward the ocean,
leaving the depot watchmen and a
number of brakemen, who waved stop
signals with their lighted lanterns to
no avail, huddled together by the track
in speechless amazement.
The Waterman was the first to re-
cover. Boys" he yelled, 'she's run
away! Look out! Some cars may be
following her!'
Then he dashed away up the depot
stairs and rushed in on the night dis
patchers with the tidings that a run
away had just passed through the sta
ton.
Here there was no hesitancy. Long
service had taught these men to act
swiftly. Almost before the echo of the
watchman's voice had died out the
head dispatcher called: "It's all right!

graphed that he had ditched an engine

Learn to Chew.

Some one says that every mouthful
of meat should have at least thirty
two chews. IL children could be sent
to a chewing school, as they are now
sent to kindergarten there would be
a marked improvement in the race,
says Dr. Samuel A. Hopkins. And
he goes on to say that to produce
strong teeth is almost as simple a
matter as to produce strong arms.
Children should be accustomed to Wig
orous mastication, by practice three
times a day, and the habit thus formed
will not be forgotten. By such q sys-
TEN of training "bills for dentistry will
be reduced, the child's teeth will be-
come strong and we'll polished and
there will be distinct enlargement Of
the jaw and a strengthening OF the
facial muscles. There can be no eX-
aggeration Of the marvellous results
achieved by vigorous mastication."

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. TO get

irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, PANE

Major A. Douhberg of the British
South African police, who is now in
this country, tells some exciting stories
Of adventures with big game. Once
the major was on a hunting eXpedi-
ton in the Mombasa country with a
hundred porters. He says:
Zone night, just before dawn, we
were suddenly awakened by the por-
tiers shouting and rushing all over the
place, and l was just in time to see
a white mass disappear down the river
bank. 1t appears porter had left his
tent when he saw, not ten yards away,
a big lion. He rushed back within
the 'borna' shouting 'Simbav This
awakened the rest of the camp, and
no sooner had he done so than the
beast sprang upon his tent, under
which there were six other pOrters
sleeping, and, as he tore this out of the
ground, they rushed from beneath,
and away he went, tent in mouth,
thinking, 1 have no doubt, of the sue
culent black feast therein contained.
"There was no more sleep for us
that night on account of the noise and
jabbering' of the porters. We discov-
cred the tent next morning torn to
shreds.
Eve heard later on that a we'll
known official, who is out here pros
pecting, had a similar experience, but,
unfortunately in his case. the porter
was carried off inside the tent. He
tracked the beast next morning for two
miles into some scrub, came up with
