horseman pursues it. ied only with
a long whip and some rope. The wolf
after a time tries 10 take rest, but the
rider forces II Oh with his whip till,
after repeated attempts at rest, 1t sinks
exhausted. The rider then springs
from bis horse, jumps astride the wolf
and, holding II by the ears, secures 1t
with the rope. Most men require the
assistance OF a mounted companion,
who ties the wolf while the other holds
its ears with both hands. and In this
way the capture Is comparatively easy,
but to do 1t single handed Is difficult
feat. Nasty bites and even dangerous
wounds result should the hunter nave

The Empresses of Russia.

During the eighteenth century no less
than four expresses held sway over
Russia, and IL perhaps the throne was
unjustly usurped in more than one in
stance 1t can at least be said OF all Of
them that they rclgned more wisely
than the emperors of that period and
that they have left names more famous
than those Of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved a
wise and powerful monarch. aud much
that disngured her history may be for
gotten, seeing that she almost totally
abolished the custom Of subjecting all
Russian prisoners to a system of ghast-
ly torture besides repeating many 9th
er cruel and barbarous laws.

CurIon. Storage of Hay.

An English traveller through Kash-
mir found in practice there novel
method OF putting fodder up for win
ter use. The country lies in a valley
among the Himalayas. The chief in
dustry of the people consists in raising
fine wool and in making this into fab
RIGS which have carried the name OF
the country all over the world. A GU
rious custom in some places Is that OF
hanging quantities of hay up among
the branches of trees. Why 1t was
done was more than could guess, till
my guide informed me that in winter
the snow Hes five and six yards In
depth and that the supplies of hay,
which now look only as If they were
meant for camelopards. are then easily
reached by the focks Of sheep which
abound there.

The Earth.s Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on Its
axis once In each twenty-four hours,
but few, however. have any Idea Of the
high rate of speed at which such an I'm
mense ball must turn In order to ac-
complish the feat Of making one revo-
luton In day and a night. A graphic
idea OF the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may he
had by comparing its speed to that OF
a cannon ball fired from modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such missile has been es-
timated at 1925 feet per second, which
Is equal to a mile in 3 2-10 seconds.
The earth In making one complete
revolution In the short space Of TWEEN
ty-four hours must turn with velocity
almost exactly equal to that OF the
cannon bali. In short, its rate OF speed
at the equator is exactly 1907 feet per
second. This is equal 20 II miles
