CAPE JAcKALs.

Yearly Loss Directly Traceable to
 These Animals Estimated at $7,5OO.-
 GOO.
 During discussion on jackals in the Cape House of Assembly few days ago, MT. Rubidge gave figures based on intelligent and recorded observation of the depredations caused by jackals. In one year the losses caused to his stock amounted to ten per cent. Estimating on basis of twenty-five million sheep and goats, the number of the floeks in 1895, he worked gradually up to a year. ly loss of fifteen hundred thousand pounds directly traceable to jackals. Mr. Garlick called attention to the fact that the present estimate of the fiocks of sheep and goats stood at seventeen
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-06-09

million. and with that number as ba- sis the Cape Argus works as follows upon Mir. Rubidge's figures.
 Allowing for loss of five per cent. instead of ten, the annual destruction of small stock would be fifty thousand dollars, equal at five shillIngs per head to two hundred and twelve thousand pounds, and at four shillings each foR the loss of wool or hair to one hundred and seventy thousand pounds-or to- gether three hundred and eighty-two thousand pounds. That is the first item in the tale of destruction. Next there came the estimate of loss caused to the weld and to the fiocks by the kraaling system. If there were no jack als. the fiocks would run free at night, with great advantage in the manuring of the weld, and an increased value in the quality of the wool. Mir. Rubidge estimated the loss from the enforced kraaling at a pound weight of wool or hair per animal, and taking sixpence as the average price, this accounts for a further loss on seventeen million sheep of four hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds, bringing the total loss so far to eight hundred and seven thou- sand pounds. But that does not end the indictment against the jackal.
 ''The kraaling system has reduced the dropping of lambs from ninety per cent. to sixty per cent, and MT. Ru- bidge estimated the loss on twenty five million sheep from this cause at four hundred and fifty thousand pounds or, say, about two hundred and fifty thousand pounds on seventeen million, bringing the figure of annual loss up to e1 1,057,000. Now. in 1902 the colony ex- ported wool to the value of e1. ,227- so that the loss caused by the jackal, according to the estimate of a practi- cal farmer, who speaks from facts. amounts to over one-half of the total export of wool.
 When we remember that wool is our staple article, it will be admitted that if this industry suffers annually a loss amounting to one-half it's export value, the matter is one for the most serious consideration of Parliament. ."-SSouth Africa.

Bridgeport, June S.-Bridgeport shut out Worcester to-day by the score of 1 to in one of the fastest games seen on the grounds this season, The locals played their first errorless game seen lat NeMfield park, and the only error 1 by Worcester was bad throw by Tighe. which had no result on the SCOT ling. The visitors made some errors in judgment in running after two high lilies which were allowed to drop be- tween players, but the home team won because they hit harder. The visitors mixed some very speedy playing with their errors of Judgment, their three double plays being of the speediest kind. Gaffney umpired and gave satis- faction except in one inning, when the visitors protested in getting the worst lof 1t on close decisions in two cases.

the foreign woman,' at the head of ev- erything. The child was more and
 more neglected and given altogether into the charge of the old nurse. "One day terrible thing happened. The winsome Dolores died very sudden ly, from the effects of a snake bite, the doctors said, though none of the snakes
 found in the cellar was deemed poison-
 ous. There were those among the ser-
 wants who did not hesitate to say that 8 cabra had been seen in the nursery
 that morning, and that the foreign wo- man and old nurse had brought it there.
 Nothing could be proved; the captain
 was away, and little Dolores was bur- jed. long months before her father came back from his voyage, broken hearted
 at the loss Of his baby daughter. "The sound of the childish feet in their soft Indian moccasins and the vii sion of the weird playfellow that ac- Icompanied them came soon after the death of the little girl, and the house has never been free from them since.
 The servants left, all but the old nurse, and as soon as the captain came home Mrs. L. made him take her away. The
 fortune she inherited proved useless to
 her, as she ended her days in an asy-
 lun.
 T have a singular theory of my own, that I mean to prove if I can. I have an idea that if can only follow these restless footsteps in their wanderings through the many rooms of the house
 in time they will lead me to some clew that will explain the mystery of Do- lores death. If I find it perchance the poor baby may stay those tired little feet of hers and be at rest.''
