length is two and twenty-seven hun

about one-eighth OF a pound. The

The traveller from Reno to Haw-

Up until last winter the wild horses
on the Nevada deserts were shot or

act to this effect at its last session.
The wild steeds are great rangers.

law, they have grown very bold, and
come up the Carson valley within sew

Becoming Very Scarce and Fast In
creasing in Value.
Skins of wild animals are daily be-
coming more rare and valuable, says
the Shoe and Leather Reporter. The
ton of the monarchs Of the plain and
forest, the jungle and the hills, AMI
their hides now ornament many a mu-
scum, clubhouse and drawing room.
The skin of the lion, the king of
beasts, is among the most valuable of
the rare skins. 1t is kingly, even as
was the animal himself, and reveals
the great strength and courage of the
mighty form that it once protected.

bright nor pretty, but its great shaggy
name crowns it like a rare jewel and
makes it valuable.
tier than the skin Of the lion, and 1t,
too, reveals the character Of the beast
which it once protected. Its bearded
cheeks reveal the tigers ferocity and
cunning and its yellow and black
stripes and its white belly tell of the
stealthy nature of the great cat.
The American jaguar furnishes a
pretty skin, despite its reddish-white
belly and its spots instead of stripes.
The leopard, too. has a pretty pelt. its
fui being light yellow with black spots.
The skin of the black panther is also
much admired.
Bear skins are trophies in many a
civilized home. The black or the Cana
dian bear Is the most common. The
Polar bear supplies a beautiful, soft,
white, furry skin, but 1t is very rare.
The skin OF the American grizzly Is
now also quite rare. Although deer
and moose are common game for hunt
ers, yet few have succeeded In preserv-
ing their pelts with the fur on for any
long period

A Father Saw It.

In the schools of Connecticut
town measures were recently taken to
test the children's eyesight. AS the
doctor finished each school he gave
the principal list of the pupils whose
eyes needed attention, and requested
him to notify the children's parents to
that effect.
One night, soon after the opening Of
the fall term, little boy came home
and gave his father the following note,
duly signed ny the principal:
'Mr. -. Dear Sir-It becomes my
duty to inform you that your son

be attended to without delay"

following answer:
