when he went to Revnoldsville. He be-
came acquainted with the pastor Of Secrist's
and In relating his experiences Ia prayer

Secrist, who introduced himself.
From that time the officer was frequent
visitor at the house with twenty-one rooms.
Secrist had pretty daughter named Minnie,

1t was an open secret that they were, en-
gagged and Secrist threw down the bars
and admitted Cason to full partnership. In
all his affairs. He showed him where his
plants and materials for making money
were, and gave him some OF the output to
pass.
At Reynoldsville Cason completed the
evidence for the Government, and there
was nothing to do but for Dan McSwinney
to come along and round up the gang.
During all these months but once was
the agent. He had gone out to meet three
members Of the gang one night, and found
them masked, with revolvers levelled.

Anticipating such a contingency, before
he left the office in Pittsburg he had written
letter to himself. purporting to &C m,

WAYS and lead an honest life. The letter
indicated that he had been passing counter
felt money and that Govern mont officers
were pursuing him.
The letter saved the agents life. The
counterfeiters slowly deciphnrcd it, put
their heads together and, d,cid d that he
was all right, Inside of three months from
that time those 81 M men held up their

DANGER IN SHOOTING BIG GAME.
Hunters Bullet Nay Not Stop the Brute's
Advance.
From Outing.


The disturbing element in hunting elephant
or seladang or rhno has been always. to
me at least. the feeling of uncerta inty as to
whether or not / could stop the animal If |
wounded 1t and 1t charged me. as it did on
an average Of once in three times.
Based on my experience therefore. should
place the elephant first and the rhino third
after the seladang, which Is fully as formld-
able as the Cape buffalo, and is misca lied
the bison all over India Each OF these animals
ia dangerous on different and individual
grounds; the elephant. though less likely
to charge than any OF the others. is terribly
Ing because OF his enormous strength, which
stops at no obsta Gle. and the extreme diff
1culty OF reaching vital spot. especially

! know OF no sensation more awesome
than standing ankle deep in clinging mud
in dense cover, with the jungle crashing
around you us though the entire forest WIS
topping. US the elephant you have wounded
comes smashing his way in your direction.
The seladang is dangerous. partly because
Of the thick jungle he seeks when wounded.
but more especially because of his tremen-
dous vitality and his usual. though not in
variable, habit OF awaiting the lunter on
his tracks and charging suddenly, swiftly
and viciously. 1t requires close and hard
shooting to bring down one Of these six foot
specimens OF Oriental cattle.
The danger of the tiger and of the lion
is in their lightning activity and ferocious
strength: but you have the shoulder. In adj

RAISING EGRETS FOR PLUMAGE.
Plan to Supply Aigrettes without Killing
Bird That Produce Them.


The beautiful aigrettes known to mil.
liners as Osprey" plumes do not come OF
the bird properly known as the osprey.
This Is large brown and white fishing hawk,
prosecuted indeed to the death by the col
lector Of British specimens. but not in the
cause OF fashion. since il has no remarkable
plumage to excite cupidity
The plumes sold under this name are the
trousseau OF several species OF white herons-
a wedding garment worn by both bride and
groom and they were originally called by
the French name, esprit" Mispronuncia-
ton. and the knowledge that there is a bird
called osprey. have given us the present
title. OF course. the objection to their use
la the fact that the birds are killed in the
breeding season. the young being left to
starve; but by keeping the birds in captivity
all this could be avoided. as they could be
caught and shorn much easier than sheep.
There are several species of egrets as
these white plume bearing herons are called
but one seems more suitable than any of the
others for artificial culture. This il the
biggest Of all. the large egret tHerodias alba,,
bird found practically all over the world,
for although some ornithologists divide
it into two or three species. the differences

more long and slender in shape. and its breed

mestio bird. 1t Is. moreover. very long

Young birds should be procured to start
WITH as old ones would probably bear cap
.tivity with very bad grace. like the common
heron, which Is apt to refuse food when
captured adult. Four may be found In a
nest and they might be expected to bear
mar etable plumes In the year after capture,
The best way to keep them would be to
clip the long quilts Of one wing and turn
them out in an enclosure surrounded by a
six foot fence Of the coarsest netting until
they get Name. when they could be allowed
to wander about any available fields care
being taken ut first that they did not stray.
They would do no harm to any sort OF crop.

would. Of course, be desirable. but in the alb
sence Of such accommodation large. shallow
tub kept full OF clean water would be suf-
hcient for them to battle in.
Once they were got to breed, some selec-
ton could be attempted In order to produce
birds with the most abundant plumes the
most accommodating appetites and the best
tempers and constitutions: In fact, the species
could be thoroughly domesticated and.
Of course, there would be profit In selling
birds for stock.

sa iled a thousand miles without seeing
even the sign OF whale, and yet In the
North Pacific have on several occasions
looked upon thousand or more individuals
OF the sperm variety In one great school,
covering the sea apparently, to the horizon,
and when tumbling and rolling and pitch
ing and spouting they have presented
scene of grandeur and confusion which no
pen could possibly describe. In these
schools there Is always one fellow swimming
in the centre who seems to be the leader
of the host. and he Is called by the sailors
the Old Soldier And may also here men
tion the curious fact that when you strike
whale with the lance. and he makes a
demonstration with his tail the entire herd
as II influenced by kind of magnetism.
Nor should omit an alluson to the al
most human intelligence of the whale.
! have known them to lie perfectly still
long enough to let me get within reach
the boat and crush 1t with their capacious
jaws; and thus have l seen them watch
for and destroy a number of boats and kill
a number Of men. All this is very I'M
kind on the part of the kingly creatures
Of the ocean, but ! have never been disposed
to blame them for any Of their savage
eccsntricities. Not only are they hunted
and killed by the Yankee race, but they
have a more terrible enemy that goes by
the name Of the "killer." This crea ture Is
serpent-lke in appearance, armed with
sharp teeth, and as the right whale often
swims with his mouth OPEN the killer fastens
himself on his tongue. When thus attacked
the whale Is greatly alarmed and utters
a believing sound, which may be heard
distance of ten miles, meanwhile flashing
the sea into foam with his fukes. After
the killer has eaten away the tongue, then,
as matter OF course the whale dies from
starvation.
But again, to look upon pair Of whales
when fighting with each other is a sight
that can never be forgotten. j have seen
an old fellow, after coming out Of such a
conflict, with his jawhones bent all out Of
place. and with fearful gashes on his head
and all along his body. When thus fight
ing-and the leaders OF the various
schools often come together-they roar,
which resembles distant thunder, and the
spray which they often scatter into the air
reminds one of the surf on a rocky shore.
And then they are 80 ferocious. During
the Rebellion II was my fortune to par
ticipate in two battles but the terror ! then
experienced was not to be compared with
that caused by fight between angry whales
in the North Pacific.
And here comes in an incident which
happened to me at New Zealand great
many years ago. had killed whale.
and having stripped of the blubber cast off
high and dry on the shore A few weeks
afterward. on visiting this spot, | found
that a whole family OF natives had eaten
their way into the carcass and turned it
into a hal itation. This was anything
but sweet home, and its infuenoe-such
as it was-pervaded the whole country for
miles around

How Maine School Children Study Birds.
From the Leuiston Journal.

The pupils OF one Of Biddeford's public
schools are taking quite an interest in birds
Last spring they identified about forty specl-
mems as they arrived from warmer homes.
A school record Of birds is kept each season
which goes back to 1897. At this season bird
homes are studied and deserted nests brought
into school.
The other day two pupils came In with n
maple stub three feet long. containing a fine
specimen Of a yellow hammers style OF archi-
lecture hole had been chselled into the
dead wood and then down the stub some
fifteen inches by the birds In the afternoon

course of an interview he said: "The coal proposition of Mexico is is rapidly becoming one of great magnitude and confidently ex- pect that within few years the fuel problem here will be solved without having to import it from either the United States or Europe. So far the production of hard coal has been limited though new fields are being discovered daily that will later on supply all demands. No commercial coal has thus far produced in Mexico except in the Sabinas and Escondido valleys, in Coahuila, near the Mexican Inter national railroad. In many other parts of Mexico coal has been fonnd but it is of low grade, with some exceptions, or the strata are much disturbed, dislocated, broken or thin, or the coal is too far from the railroad No coal field other than above mentioned, has been de- veloped of sufficient continuous area depth and quality, and SO located as to give 1t commercial value, for fuel.
