HUNTING WILD PIGS.
An Exciting sport In the Fastnesses
of New Zealand.

An Hxc1t1Ag sport In the Fastn esge@
of New Zealand.
In the Businesses of New Zealand are
herds OF wild pigs, descendants of
those left there by Captain Cook Hunt
ing these beasts is one of the sports Of
the country. A writer says: There is
a tremendous commotion In the scrub,
as If squadron of horses were striv-
ing to force a passage through 1t. We
stand clear in the open. Some of US
have recollections, not altogether pleas
ant, associated with manuka scrub and
a wild boar's tusks. Rifles are raised to
shoulders as tiny youngster, scarcely
bigger than a spaniel, darts into the
open. We lower the guns. The pig is
allowed to escape unframed. Now
there is dreadful row, exceeding all
the preceding noises, on the very verge
of the scrub. A dog limps out, a
spreading patch of red that he never
got from the dew laden manuka boughs
showing on his side There is no mis-
take this time. At the extreme right of
our line huge boar, with the dogs at
his heels, bursts half blinded from the
scrub The man nearest levels his
rifle The rest of us stand mute, ex-
pectant, watching for the effect Of our
comrades fire.
"a fash, report, tiny column of
gray smoke quivering upward; the
boar, evidently unframed, gains the
scrub on the other si@' of the open.
Surely our comrade, the best shot in
the country, has not missed at that dis
lance. No, he had not missed, as was
glanced along the thick, armorlike hide
of the animals shoulder, only making a
slight mark. This hide, which frequent
ly exceeds one inch in thickness, will
turn any bullet that strikes at all in an
oblique direction. Impatient at the
failure of his shot, the man follows in
close pursuit. The remainder Of the
party proceed in the same direction as
quickly as the thick underground will
allow.
1--WE can see from the motion of the
scrub that the animal is making for the
entrance of deep gully that runs right
into the heart of the hills. Straight up
the gully they go. the fleeing boar and
his eager pursuer, with the yelping
dogs in close attendance. The rife
speaks once more, and we press anx-
iously forward The shot has taken
effect this time. The boar stands at
bay facing the dogs; the blood is trio
king from his side; he sways as If
about to fall. Our comrade, thinking
the victory already secured and wish
ing to put the animal out of pain as
soon as possible, drops his rifle and
pulls his knife from its sheath.
But the boar, sore wounded though
he is, makes furious rush, while the
man, springing backward, trips over
a piece of rock and falls headlong amid
the scrub. Half stunned he lies there
helpless. unable to save himself from
the rend of the cruel tusks. The gal
liant dogs rush in; there is a moment Of
deadly conflict, rending Of flesh and
howl of agony. and one of the faith
full brutes lies dying in the scrub be-
side his master The pig Is just turn
ing once more toward our PROSTATE
comrade when we haply arrive on the
scene. The man has escaped with torn
clothes and few scratches"

Hop. In England.

The English were taught the uses of
hops by native Artois. who intro
duced them into England in 1924. They
met with some hostility, for physicians
represented them as unwholesome, and
parliament was petitioned against them
as q wicked weed" In 1928 their use
was prohibited under severe penalties.
Henry VIII. appears to have been pref
udiced against hops, for In a manu-
script, dated Ethan, January, 1880, &C.
ours an injunction to his brewer mot to
put hops or birthstone" into the ale.

That was both kind and wise man
who, when about to marry for the Sec
ond time, settled $4,000 upon his un-
married daughter. II should like to
have her go on living at home" he said,
but who can tell whether she and her
stepmother will be harmonious and
quite happy together? She shall feel
that she is free to go or stay" The
consequence was mutually happy rela-
lions, since both women knew there
was no dependence or necessity for
them to live in closer relations than
might prove agreeable.

This saying had its origin in the
rivalry between st. Peters cathedral.
now Westminster abbey, and st.
Paurs, when, in 1850, an appropria-
ton was made from ST. Peters to
make good deficiency in the accounts
Of st. Paul's. Much opposition was
shown to this, and it was for the time
a popular cutlery, "Why rob Peter to
pay Paul?" The saying was revived
as proverb upon the death of Will
liam Pitt, earl of Chatham, in ITS The
city of London argued that so illus
trious statesman should be buried at
St. PauPs, while parliament held that
the remains of so great leader should
be placed with the dust of kings and
that to bury him away from the Abbey
of Westminster would be again rob-
bling Of Peter to pay Paul

II Won For sardou.

1t Is singular fact that the famous
French dramatist Sardou owed his first
success on the boards to his excellent
handwriting. He had sent in his often
rejected play. la Taverne des Etudi-
ants" to the Odeon management for
consideration. and the manuscript was
thrown, with some others, upon a table.
One day at rehearsal the charming ac-
tress Mile Berengere was attracted by
the handwriting and took up the manu-
script, crying. ''Oh, what an exquisite
hand. She read the play and recon-
mended it so strongly to the directors
that they were induced to read it and
then accept it. At the time Sardou was
starving. He had gone through seven
long years of terrible hardship and pri-
walton

The Changing Tides.

The most approved theory among sci
entists as to the cause of the rise and
fall of the tide is that the moon is the
dominating cause through its differen-
tial attraction upon the opposite sides
OF the earth, drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production of high water large
and In like manner drawing the earth
away from the opposite waters for the
production Of high water small. The
smaller tidal effect of the suns at
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lunar tide, increasing it
in the spring tides and decreasing it at
neaps and further modifying it In the
printing and tagging of the tides.

His Working Clothes.

Lord Peterborough once reproved
bricklayer for coming to be sworn In
his usual habiliments when you have
to appear before this court it is your
bounden duty to be clean and decent in
your appearance" upon my life, if it
comes to that" said the bricklayer,
I'm every bit as well dressed as your
lordship." How do you mean, STRIP
exclaimed the chief justice angriIy.
"Well, it's just this. You come here In
your working clothes, and l come In
mine"
1t was very seldom, however, that
anybody got the better of Lord Ellen
borough. A witness dressed in a fan
tastical manner and who had given dis
creditable evidence was asked In cross
examination what he was. 81 employ
myself" he said, "as surgeon" But
does any one else" inquired the chief
justice. "employ you as surgeon?

A Terrible Mistake.

There are women who are smart and
intelligent, yet they labor under the
delusion that no man can tell them a
lie and look them straight in the eye
at the same time.-Mansfield News.
He STOPPED to Conquer.
English newspapers tell of a young
cabman In Birmingham who by his re-
semblance to her dead son attracted the
fancy Of wealthy old woman. She be-
queathed him a fortune on condition
that he became an educated gentleman.
The cabman studied the classics enough
to fit himself for Oxford or Cambridge,
but doubted whether he knew enough
of the manners Of young gentlemen to
conduct himself properly in their soci-
ETY.. So, putting pride in his pocket, he
obtained place as scout" or servant,
at one Of those seats of learning and
profited so much by what he saw and
observed in this humble position that
when he eventually proceeded to the
other university as student he was
able to pass creditably.

The Dominant Air.

As through an opera runs the rhythm
Of one dominant air, so through mems
lives there rings a dominant note, soft
In youth, strong in manhood and soft
again in old age. But it is always there,
and, whether soft in the gentler periods
or strong amid the noise of the perl
helion, it dominates always and gives
its tone to the whole life.

The laws Of nature are just, but ter
rible. There is no weak mercy In them.
Cause and consequence are insepara-
BILE and Inevitable. The elements have
no forbearaIce. The fire burns, the
water browns, the air consumes, the
earth buries. And perhaps it would
be well for our race If the punishment
Of crimes against the laws of man
were as inevitable as the punishment
Of crimes against the laws of nature
were man as unerring In his judgments
as nature.
