Tracking Mountain sheep.

If the feeding ground or watering
place of an old ram is once known. to
wait for the quarry is about the best
thing to do. If the game is seen and
it has not observed the hunter before.
it usually can be tagged as antelopcs
were in former days. The oldest lords,
however, seldom respond to the sum
mons and do not often come within
rifle range. Hunting bighorn has much
in common with hunting antelopes,
only that in the pursuit OF the former
there is grander scenery ana more
physical exercise.
The tracks of mountain sheep seldom
register. and as the animals, when run
ming, have TO place their feet where
they can, the trail gives no indication
where or il an animal has been hit il
it was shot at. Infinitely greater vigi-
lance to observe the signs Mt the mo1
ment of firing. and in the study of hair
and blood, is therefore required than in
deer huating. During October old
rams begin to associate with herds.
and from then on it is only necessary
for the hunter TO find out where
lunches roam. However, as the snow
Mt that time Is often very deep in the
mountains. it is harder work TO get to
their range-Josef Drummer, in Field
and Stream.

Until motor vehicles have wings, we
have heard it said, they will always be
an eyesore, an earsore and a nosesore.
While not prepared to accept that
view, at any rate, as a condition OF
things likely to last, we must admit
that the accessories Of modern life in
general are placing greater and greater
strain on the facilities of the indi-
vidual. His eyes are strained by the
intense artificial lights, his ears are
worried by the unnecessary din of the
streets and his nose is offended by the
vaporization of offensive fumes of oil
or by the fetid air of the tube" That
simpler life appeals TO him more than
ever which removes him from the mad
dening sphere of the inventors activi-
ties.
Still, after all, the human machine
Is wonderful in its power of adapting
itself to new environment. and just
as few now look upon the railway, as
was formerly the case, as really
offensive invention, so in time to come
the present dlstresses inflicted upon us
by modern ingenuity will gradually
disappear, partly by the process of
adaptation and partly by improvements
resulting in mitigation of the kind of
evils referred TO.
One thing at least may be said, and
that Is on no account should a modern
invention be tolerated, however con-
venient 1t may be in one direction, un-
less it satisfies hygienic requirements.

Ingenious Woman.

The wife of a Kansas farmer. so the
story goes, got tired of asking him to
fix some things about the house that
needed fixing, and one day after he
had come home from town told him
she had done the work herself.
"And you know" she said, "the
drawer that was locked for over a
month, and which you said couldn't be
opened except by locksmith? Well, ="
triumphantly, II opened it."
"Well, welll How in the world did
you DO it,"
with hairpin. And the oven door,"
she continued, "has been slipping
around on one hinge for ever so long,
just because you were too lazy to fix it,
but it's all right now"
"Well, I'm glad you had it fixed"
HAD it fixed! 1 fixed it myself
with hairpin. And then that crayon
portrait of mother that stood in the
corner for almost six solid weeks be-
cause you never would bring me any
picture hooks-I got it up with hook
1 made myself-out of a hairpin."
"Well, wellr' was all he could say.
"And there's Willie. You've been
coaxing him and bribing him for over
year, trying to break him of biting
his nails, but broke him in week"

meekly.

The Old State House

"An Appeal to Heaven" In October
1775, the floating batteries of Boston
carried a flag with the motto "An Ap-
peal to Heaven" the design being a
pine tree on a white field. Virginia
carried a flag in 1775 which displayed
a rattlesnake coiled as II about to
strike, and the motto, Don't tread on
me-" When General Washington as
sumed command of the motley army
gathered before Boston in January
1776, the flag raised at his headqlar
ters had the thirteen red and white
stripes just as they are to this day

crosses of st. George and st. An

is said that when the British regulars
saw it they supposed it was an evi
dence of submission to the King, wht
had just issued his proclamation.

FLAG LORE.

Some writer's assert that the first
and original United States flag con-
tanned only twelve stars, because
Georgia was not entitled to vote.
Such flag is said to have been made
by the ladies of Philadelphia from
the design of the escutcheon of the
Washington family. 1t is alleged that
this flag was presented to John Paul
Jones, that he carried it with him on
his ship, the Bon Homme Richard;
that in his great fight the flag was
shot away and fell into the sea, and
that Lieutenant Stafford leaped over
board after it, brought it safely to
the ship and nailed it to the masthead.
This story may have some basis in
fact, but the act of Congress of June
IA, 1777, shows that no standard was
recognized by the Government until
that date.

Shoes and hosiery are unusually at
tractive this season, and are a decided
feature of the costume. The fancy for
having things "match" is quite as
marked in the new shoes and hosiery
as in other articles of dress, such as
hats gloves, etc, and pumps and ties
are shown in suede and leather in all
shades and colorings, both for street
and house wear. The linen shoes are
also to be worn in all shades to match
summer gowns, and are charmingly
pretty, pale green, lavender, etc. with
ribbon ties or bows and hosiery to
match
Dark blue linen shoes are also shown
for street wear, to be worn with blue
linen frocks to match, and the tan
and natural color linen pumps are also
very modish.
Tan Russia leather pumps are as
much in favor as ever, worn with thin
Isle or silk hosiery to match, and some
of the newest models in these tan
pumps have small bows made of the
same leather as a finish in front in
ce of the ribbon ties worn last year.

The Puritans of England held music
In no very high esteem. They held
In adherence piping with organs,
singing, ringing and trowling of
psalms from one side OF the choir to
the other" as complained of in their
protest to Parliament In fact, their
fanaticism bred so much hatred for
such things that they came to look
upon music as positively unchristian.
So the Pilgrims brought to America
with them the style of music that
prevailed when they left the mother
country, which goes without saying
that it was not of the most inspiring,
cheering kind.
The generation preceding the Rev
olution is referred to as the Psalm
singing generation" The Colonies
were absorbed with the task of re-
visiag and republishing the Psalms.
In 1713 an organ was introduced in
to Boston, but the prejudice was so
great that the instrument remained
unpacked in the porch of the church
for seven months.
Up to this time there had been
no native compositions, but little
later on the first compositions were
the work of one William Billings, a
tanner by trade. AS Psalm singing
still prevailed his first production
was the New England Psalm Singer"
which was followed by Singing Mas
ter's Assistant" and Music in Minia-
ture." His later works were of pa
triotic order and 1t is due to this
TACT that they became SO popular. His
lamentations Over Boston" breathed
the spirit Of the Revolution, as also
did his Retrospect" independence

Vivid Touches This Season.

A special point is being made OF
colored shoes and hosiery in England
this season, and lovely and novel tints
are being used. Citron is a new shade.
as cool-looking as it is elegant, and
when it is used for gown, with stock
ings, shoes and gloves to match, its ap-
pearance is certain to command ap-
probation. Very cleverly, dressmakers
are using this shade in combination
with puce, and even with mole color, a
dye that is once more in considerable
favor. 1t is one of the few dyes that
looks we'll in lace, and is, therefore, en-
ployed in that way.
A somewhat startling impression is
created by the new colored gloves;
Englishwomen so rarely like them. II
was, therefore, with full assurance of
making sensation that a very pretty
girl appeared the other day at social
function in a black gown and hat and
turquoise blue gloves to her elbows,
the only touch of color the toilet re-
ceived.
Vivid tuches of color are given to
the white linen frocks that the mo-
distes are making, and as usual it is
the belt and the millinery that provide
the contrast. With white linen frock
black looks excessively well; 1t may be
introduced in the unique way of mar
row piplngs of satin employed on en-
brofdered cambric. A peculiarly bright
cerise is another excellent foil to white,
and leather cincture of that color,
as well as hat made of cerise chip,
with cherries as trimming, creates
quite sufficiency. of brightness to Sc
cure good impression.

Golden Grain of Corn.

Last year was a big corn year in
Nebraska. On 6.472,4SI acres the Yield
was 243, 713,244 bushels, or an average
of more than thirty-seven and half
bushels to the acre. But the average
during the past ten years has been
only about thirty bushels. Moreover.
it is reasonable hope that, with the
proper attention to the single grain OF
corn. the crop of the State should,
within another ten years, average sixty
bushels TO the acre. In other words,
the State, through the Young profess
sors. reasonably hopes to increase the
yearly prosperity OF. her people by
something like $S0,00000o or 100000
600. Such Is the treasure that may
germlnate from grain of corn in Me-
braska alone. Worlds Work.

STIRRING SCENES.

At O'Clock on the afternoon of
July A, 1776, stirring scenes were en-
acted in Philadelphia. In answer to
the signal of Ring" given by the lad
stationed below for that purpose, the
old bellman rang out wonderful
peal, while the whole city shouted
for Joy. The Kings arms were taken
down from the Court House, the city
was Illuminated, bonfires were lighted
and rejoicing continued far into the
night. In New York leaden hgure
of George III. was pulled from It's
pedestal on Bowling Green and mould
ed into bullets.
