Kills Deer with Fist.

a few weeks ago, just before L
left for Denver, we had venison for
dinner which our cook killed with his
fist. Game is so plentiful that all one
has to do is to stand ON his back porch
and use a revolver to obtain almost
anything in the way of meat that one
could wish for"
II. w. Long. vice president Of the
Denver-Honduras Banana Company,
was telling of the attractions of his
Honduras home, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
"The manner in which our cook OBJ
tanned the venison was this" contin-
ued Mr.. Long. I'VE had been having
high water in the river which flows
through our plantation, and one morn
ing our cook noticed q herd of half a
dozen deer swimming across it. He
Jumped into a canoe and killed one
with blow of his fist. However,
deer are not the only game which we
have a chance to try shot at.

The Acme of Pessimlsm.

Secretary of War Taft, at Il dinner
in Washington, referred with a smile
to a certain pessimistic Senator.
"He is always awaiting the fall OF
some unforeseen evil" said Secretary
Taft. HE can never see the bright
side. He is as incorrigible a pessimist
as old Elisha Howard Of Zoar
81 was born in Ohio and in NY boy
hood 1 saw Elisha now and then. His
farm was near Zoar. 1t was large
and prosperous farm, but Elisha would
never have admitted such thing. He
W ways grumbling and grooming.
The ,rners of his mouth continually
hung down.
II remember once there came ban
ner year for the Ohio farmers. The
wheat crop had never been so fine and
good, and prices had never been so
high. Elisha's wheat surpassed all
others, and it was known that he had
marketed it skillfully. Nevertheless,
when a neighbor asked him one day
how he made out with it he whined:
"'Well, 1 didn't get as much for il
as 1 expected, and l didn't expect I
would"

mail to communities far inland in
Japan the carriers employ small hand
carts with shafts, the carriers being
obliged to perform the double duty of
a horse and postman. In the cities
Of Japan the mail is carried in small
canvas sacks.
Rides Logs in India.
The costume of the rural carrier in
parts of India is merely a cloth about
his loins. The Indian postman carries
4 long-handled spear across his Shout
der with mail sack tied to the staff.
Near the point of the spear are four or
five bells which are supposed to an
nounce the approach OF the mail man.
When the streams are flooded the
rural postman in India floats down the
stream astride log, steering it into
the bank at various points, while he
disembarks to deliver mail to the
houses along the way. There is also
a camel post in India, the carriers be-
ing attired with a scantiness similar
to the foot postman.
The town postmaster in India is a
distinguished looking individual and
he struts about with a dignity suffi-
cient for an Office of much greater
Importance He wears a white linen
suit, the coat cut long, while on his
head rests a red turban. In. most Of
the large cities in India the carriers
wear the usual English uniform.
Australian mail carriers are CARRIED
in pale green uniforms with red
girdle about the waist. The mounted
carriers wear long green coats, high
riding boots and strapped to the sad
die is brace Of pistols for protec-
ton, and bugle with which to in
form the patrons of the carriers arri-
val The mounted carriers are usually
accompanied by several fierce looking
dogs, as a still further means of pro-
tecting the postman and the mail he
carries.
The French city postman's uniform
is of the severe military type, dark
blue in color. 1t consists of short
military jacket with red trimmings
around the collar and cuffs and brass
buttons down the front The trousers
of the outfit are also of blue with
red stripes down the side seams. In
the lowlands and marshes of France
the postmen traverse the country ON

Oriental costume of red, with tight
fitting coat and baggy trousers. Their

A MUD VOLCANO.
Extraordinary Scene on Tropical
Island.


Extraordinary Scene on a Tropical
Island.
Some time ago the natives of Brit
ish North Borneo reported that a
huge marine monster kind of oc-
topus-had made its place of recrea-
ton on the Island of Libiman, which
lies some twenty miles north of Sand
akan town. The monster was minute
~ described as to size, appearance,
and habits, and was said to burrow
deeply into the heart of the island
and throw mud and water. 1t had
also made a track from the sea to his
hole.
Remembering the occurrence of
mud eruption on the island some
years ago, the governor of the colony
formed his own opinion regarding the
existence of the supposed monster,
and when an opportunity occurred
made an examination Of the island. 1t
appeared from his Investigations that
the track" made by the marine phe-
nomenon was a river Of hardened
mud, sun-dried and cracked till it
bore the appearance Of a glacier Of
gray mud. complete with its crevasses
and boulders, lacking only the mo-
raines and the exhilarating glacier air
to make the resemblance complete.
At it's lower end, where it debouched
into the sea. a coed quarter of mile
from it's source, the mud-river was
perhaps $50 feet broad, narrowing to
eighty feet. At its highest point
100 feet above sea level-where it
emerged from the crater it appeared
TO have cut through the solid soil,
which stood up on each side a good
eight or ten feet above the surface OF
the mud. which was freely stTewn
with small blocks Of gray sandstone
The edges CT these blocks were, in
many cases, as sharp as those OF
newIy-broken road metal.
The crater itself, depression
about thirty to forty feet in diane
ter. was covered with crust of mud
lust strong enough to bear the
weight of a man, but giving slightly
as one walked over it, thus indicating
that It was merely a crust. In the
very center was a small pool of liquid
mud. into which a long stick was
thrust without finding bottom
Around the crater rose the walls of
mud. ten to fifteen feet high, with
large blocks of sandstone and rocks
bearing streaks of quartz perched in
such positions as proved that they
must have been hurled into the air
bv the force of the eruption, and
dropped into their present positions.
The island gave evidence of at least
two eruptions, the latter Of very re-
cent occurrence, having spread layer
of lighter colored mud over part OF
the older stream The latter out5urst
must. however, have been of COM
paratively mild nature, for the upper
layer appears to be not more than a
foot thick, and does not reach more
than half way down the hill, while
the older mud stands at the shore,
where the sea has eaten into it, a wall
some six feet high.-North Borneo
