Judging from the unrelenting chase
and slaughter, from the mountains of
bones bleaching on the plains, millions
could be mentioned without fear of ex-

The causes for the determination Of
the buffalo might be summed up as
follows! Man! reckless greed, his
wanton extravaganza, destructiveness
and improvidence in not outstanding

hand of nature ready made. The
total and inexcusablc absence of pro-
tective measures and agencies on the

According to statistics gathered by
the Smithsonian Institution at Wash

were less than 500 buffaloes in the
country. and these have decreased
rather than multiplied since that time.
The slaughter of the buffalo was not

gantic murder The army of half
breeds which annually went forth
from the Red river settlements to
make war on the buffalo was often
larger than the one with which Cortez
subdued a large empire.
AS early as 1876 it had become so
great that It was necessary to separate
it into two divisions. one Of which
the White Horse Plains division-was
accustomed to go west by the Assino-

did the most hunting in Dakota. The
two divisions sometimes met, but not

Much has been said, and more writ

buffalo. but few are aware how little
has been done to protect this animal,
and how few realize how little was ac-

roamed monarchs of the western

well-meant efforts was due to our re-

Rev Father Beicourt, Catholic
priest in his contribution to Hon. Mr..
Sibley's papers on the buffalo, cites
a trip he took with a buffalo outfit. It
was comparatively small one, and
started from Pembina, taking every
precaution not to spoil the chances Of
the Red river division, which was ex-
pected to start about the same time
The party consisted of 213 carts, 55
hunters and their families, making 60
lodges in all. The party killed 1,776
cows (bulls not counted, many Of
which were killed, though not even a
tongue was taken). which yielded 22S
bags of pemmican. 1913 bags of dried
meat 166 sacks of tallow and $50
bladders of marrow.

was made to protect the buffalo, but

PoWDERlNG THE HAIR.
The Way This Custom Is Said to Have
Originated.

Originated.
The custom of powdcring the hair
dates back rs far MS the sixteenth
century and was first introduced by
the nuns in French converts. Those
who had occasion to leave the cloisters
for any reason were wont to powder
their hair so as to make it appear gray
and give them venerable look. The
fashionable danes were so struck with
the novel effect of white powder on
dark hair that they soon appropriated
the device as one of the arts of the
worldly toilet. Out of this grew the
use of tints in the hair The Roman
women often used blue powder. and
later. in 1860. Empress Eugene set
the fashion of using gold powder.
Rome under tile empire and Greece
during the time of Periclcs were seized
with mania for golden hair The
bellies and tops of the day devised sew
aral methods whereby black locks
might be changed to golden yellow, but
bleaching did not always succeed. Con-
sequently quite trade was establish
ed with tho fair haired tribes beyond
the Alps. who sold their locks to Latin
merchants. to be worn on the heads OF
Roman handles.
Many n dame dampencd her raven
