ANIMALS IN CUBA.
Game In Plenty and One Species o.

Game In Plenty and One Species of

Throughout Cuba game is abundant
Deer. though not native, have -four

are plentiful; also the wild boar, so
called, the wild pig, the wild dog and
the wild cat of the island. Wild fowl,
especially ducks and pigeon, abound,
the former crossing from the southern
states during the winter season, while
the latter remain on the island the year
round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild
turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also
numerous, with several varieties Of
game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas,
rabiches and the guanarOs.
The only distinctive native animal Is

Cuba has more than 200 species of
native birds, including those already
mentioned as game birds, many pos

but those with song are rare.
In swampy localities crocodiles and
American alligatOrs (caimans) are
found, and, although these frequently
grow to an enormous size, but little
attention is paid to them by the ma
tives.
Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads
and similar harmless silurians of di-
minutive size are very common, while
occasionally the iguana and other large
varieties of the lizard species are seen.
Few varieties of snakes exist in
Cuba. One of these, the maja, from
ten to fourteen feet in length, is Il

term may be used, for it is most fire.

houses and small villages, its favorite
living place being in the palm matches
Of the old buildings, while its favorite
food is poultry. Another snake, named
the JUDO, is more vicious in disposition
than the maja, although never reach
ing more than third it's size. 1t is
not poisonous. The other varieties are
still smaller in size, are seldom seen
and not enomous.-Havana Post.

freed All Night by wolves.

Isaiah Plythe of Mass City, Mich,
had a thrilling experience in the for
est fastness of Ontonagon county,
where he sat all night with a pack of
bowling wolves beneath him. In COM
pany with DR.. w. B. Hanna and Tom
Wilcox, Blythe went on a fishing trip.
DR.. Hanna and Wilcox became sepa-
rated from Blythe and returned home
without him, thinking he would fol-
low. When it was learned that Blythe
had not returned home his friends be-
came alarmed and organized searching
parties. Blythe was eventually found
after he had passed an entire night IN
swaying treetop above a pack OF
hungry wolves. He had lost his way
in the woods.

PASTED HIS OWN BILLS.
The Most Memorable Engagement
Edwin Booth Ever Played.

The Most Memorable Engagement
Edwin Booth Ever Played.
Edwin Booth once told a little COM
pany of his intimates that the most ro-
mantle. memorable and delightful en-
gagement that he ever played in his
life was one in which he was obliged to
paste his own bills.
1t was in the early years of his ca
reer, long before his famous hundred
nights run of Hamlet at the Winter
Garden in New York, and at a time
when romance and enthusiasm were
still young in his heart. He had played
with varying success in many parts of
the country, journeying even to San
Francisco and the few camps In the
gold bearing country that were large
enough to supply him with audiences.
Here he had done so we'll that he felt
encouraged to try his fortune in still
remoter climes and accordingly EN-
barked from the Golden Gate for the
Hawaiian Islands, where, in the Homo
lulu theater and under the direct pat
ronage Of the dark brown royalty that
then held sway, he played an engage
ment to which he looked back in after
years with much pleasure and salts
faction.
But after the play was over" said
Booth, Il found it necessary to climb
down from the high plane Of art to
common ground and take steps to an
nounce my repertory to the public.
This was done almost entirely by way
of posters, and 1 could not trust the
job to the native boys, because they al
ways ate the paste and threw away
the bills. My actors would not do it,
because they were such eminent artists
and thoroughbred gentlemen, so | had
to do it myself. Many a time have /
taken off the costume of Iago or Ham
let or Othello and gone out with a
bucket of paste and a roll of paper to
bill the town. as we say here in Amer
lea, for my next appearance"

Keen Sight of Birds Of pdey,

The sharp-eyed hawk can SPY .
lark upon piece of earth almost ex-
actly the same color at twenty times
the distance it is perceptible to man
Or dog. A kite soaring out Of human
sight can still distinguish and pounce
upon lizards and field mice upon the
ground, and the distance at which
vultures and eagles can sight thsi7
prey is almost incredible.
Recent discoveries have inclined
laturalists to the belief that birds OF
prey have not the acute sense Of smell
or Of hearing that has hitherto been
accredited to them. Their keen sight
seems better to account for their ac-
ton, and they appear to be guided by
sight alone, as they never snif at
anything, but dart straight at the OBJ
ject of their desire.
Their counterparts in tho ocean
doubtless smell and see, but are more
guarded by smell than sight. In both
sharks and rays the eyes arc good
and nave a distinct expression, though
since they scent their prey from
short distance and swim up to It with
greatest rapidity, smell may he called
their real eye.
