ne New Scarce Dugons IL the MoE-
rdaid of FabIed Lore.
The strangest Of all strange fish must
Purely be the manatee and the dugonR.
The latter is the mermaid Of tabled
ore. The dugong live In focks along
The shores Of the Indian ocean, the Red
Tea and the gulf of Manaar, where
they browse on seaweed and river veg
station. They are very affectionate in
disposition, and especially is this shown
In the love of the mother for her on
spring, which is much stronger than
The instinct of self preservation. Nei-
iher will the male leave the female If
Ihe be attacked, and instances are on
record where the companions of the
manatee gathered round and made an
Effort to withdraw the deadly harpoon.
It is supposed that the rude approach
to the human outline observed in the
shape Of the head Of the dugong, the
attitude of the mother in clasping her
young to her breast with one hipper
while swimming with the other, hold
ing both above water, and suddenly
diving and showing her fishlike tail
when alarmed, gave rise to the mer-
maid myth, first told by the Arab sea-
men. Jules Verne gives a thrilling
description of the capture Of a dugong
In the Red sea, when its flesh was de-
sired as food. Naturalists tell us that
the flesh Of the manatee and the du-
gong much resembles well fatted pork,
Of pleasant flavor, and is highly es-
teemed as food. For this reason they
were much hunted and are fast be-
coming extinct.-Field and Stream.

The degree to which the remaining
senses can be trained when the sight Is

by two blind men from home for
the blind. The men came from opposite
directions, and as they approached each
other a man standing on the corner
vas surprised to hear one Of the blind
men say: Hello. Ed! What are you
doing out this morning?" When the
blind man was asked how he had
known the other with a distance of
FIVE yards between them he answered:

In the examination of the poisonous
machinery Of insects and reptiles it is
apparent that the destructive principle
Is the same in all and that the fang In
all possesses hollow through which
the poison flows into the wound the
moment the incision is made. The
sting Of the scorpion is precisely like
the fang of the rattlesnake and per-
forms its deadly work on the same me-
chanical principles.

Carnival Dancing,

Among the most picturesque of the
carnival festivities Of Europe must be
classed that of the GILES, or dancing
men, of Binche, In Hainault. These
men, 200 strong, in their remarkable
headdress Of tall ostrich feathers and
their lace decked costume fringed with
bells, dance from an appointed place
to the town hall, bombardlng the spec
tators with oranges as they go. Ar.
rived at the town hall, the public Joins
in the fun, and soon some 5000 per-
sons-men, women and children-may
be seen gayly waltzing around the
Grande place.

SOME AWARDS.

At special session Of the Ward
county commissioners held Saturday
afternoon, the firm of Hurd E. Mallory
was awarded the contract for the con-
struction of two new vaults to be built
at the court house. Their bid was
SIS, 1877 which was the lowest bid sub
:nitted. George VanTuyl offered to
construct the vaults for So, 251. SIS, while
the bid Of D. A. Dinnie WAS for the
sum of $4,000. The vaults in question
will be built in the old part Of the court
house, and will be so constructed that
they will be part Of the proposed new
addition which will be built at some fu-
ture date. At the present time the
vaults used by the treasurer, county
judge and sheriff are unsafe and it is
very necessary that new vaults be built
in order that the records of these Offices
may be properly protected from loss by
fire. ="
The commissioners awarded the con-
tracts for the construction of twenty
two new bridges to the Northwestern
Bridge Co., Of Moorhead, MINI. These
bridges will be built at different points
throughout the county and will cost in
the aggregate about $4,000. The bids
submitted by the Moorhead company
were the only ones submitted to the
commissioners and are considered to be
very reasonable.
J. A. McJ Jannett will furnish the fur
niture for the new addition to the Ward
comfy hospital. Mr.. McJannett's bid
was 81, 1T.50.--Optic.

VANISHING GAME BIRDS.
(FOREST AND STREAM.)

The general prospects this season for
good prairie chicken shooting-one of
the keenly popular upland sports with
dog and gun-seem in the main to be
unfavorable. . Undoubtedly there are
small areas here and there, mere hooks
in comparison to the whole vast prairie
habitat of the pinrated grouse, which
contain birds a-plenty and which will
afford ample sport for the favored few
who have access to them, but for the
hundreds of chicken shooters who take
their chances without preliminary in
vestigation, much failure and disap-
pointment are in store.
The reports from many Of the prairie
districts where the pinnated grouse IN
times past were in abundance, or at
least plentiful enough to afford good
sport, indicate an unusual scarcity.
& Undoubtedly the destruction Of the
pinnated grouse is greater than it's pro-
duction. The decrease in it's numbers
seems to be steadily progressive with
the passing years. The area of the
habitat of species also is gradually d.
minishing, though this is not manifested
by the entire and sudden determination
of the chickens in a certain section, nor
their sudden abandonment Of it.
The change from abundance to dearth
comes about gradually. Some sections
in former years which afforded sport
for weeks, in later years afford sport
for days only. From abundance the
supply becomes meagre. Oftentimes
the changes from plenty to poverty,
the lamentable results of determination
or abandoned habitat are not noticed
by the sportsman till he was confronted
with the fact when diligent seeking for
sport afeld with dog and gun ends in
failure.
The enormous decrease in the num-
bers find the decreasing habitat of the
prairie chicken are not realized by the
younger sportsmen of the present time.
Nor do the older sportsmen realize it by
any comparisons of more recent years.
A comparison of present conditions
concerning chicken shooting with
those which obtained fifteen years
ago will bring into conspicuous relief
the progressive decrease which has re-
suited in the scarcity Of the present.
Twenty years ago the habitat of the
prairie chicken, beginning in western
Louisiana and Texas, extending through
the prairie region Of the middle south
and west, far up into British America,
and plentifully stocked with chickens,
was far in excess Of the prairie chicken
habitat Of the present. Plentiful as
were the birds then, they occupied
lessened habitat and were far less in
number than they were when Audubon,
on asvisit; to Kentucky, wrote of them
as being SO oyer-plentiful there and de-
structive to cr.ps that they were little
short Of being pest. 81. n
