BROKE THE DEER's BACK,
How freed Hunter Escaped From
Threatened Death.

Peter Rindernecht, of Camp Bailey,
Pa, is still talking of his narrow es.
cape from an Infatuated deer, which
he finally killed in an unusual man.

While the other members Of the,
camp were away on long drive, Pete.
finding things slow In camp, decided
to do little hunting on his own hook.
Back Of the Hinkle farm he jumped
a large buck and fired a shot which
made a flesh wound. The angry deer,
lowering its prongs, made for Pete,
who dropped his rife and climbed the
nearest tree.
The deer paved at the tree, snort
ing with rage, and Pete thought 1t .
fine joke until night began to draw
near with the buck still on guard.
Pete yelled for help, but his cries
only echoed through the ravines. It
was very cold. and the hunter found
that it would not be long until he
would release his hold on the branches
and fall to the ground.
A desperate plan was determined
upon. Pete weighs close to 280 pounds.
and when the buck, walking around
the tree, was directly beneath him, the
hunter doubled himself up like a ball
and dropped.
He landed right on tho bucks back,

THERE are host of petty ailments.
i which are the direct result Of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive,
heat OF summer and the intense cold
OF winter, but is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough.

whether the liver be affected or the,
kidneys, the cause is very liable to-

The weather slightly deranges the

the result is some functional disease.

Canals.

Canals.
Since Washington planned a canal
from the Atlantic to the Ohio, and
Madison urged the need of one from
the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, ar
tificial connections have been pro-
portant natural waterways of the
country. For a time the development
OF railways obscured the interest in
the canals. The Erie canal and 9th
ers fell into comparative disuse.
Meantime other countries have con-
tinued to open new waterways and
make great use Of them. The advaa-
tages of water transportation, chiefly
it's cheapness as compared with rail-
way traffic, have revived interest in
canals. To say nothing of the Pan.
ANA canal, the new Erie canal, which
will take thousand-ton barges from
the lakes to the ocean, and the Chi
cago drainage canal, constructed as a
sewage way and certain to be COM
pleted as ship way, are examples
courses lie in four systems-the rivers
of the Pacific, the rivers of the At
lantic, the Mississippi and it's tribu-
taries, and the great lakes. That there
will ever be a cut through the Rock
les to join the Pacific and the central
systems is beyond the dreams of en-
gineers, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion, but any one with a map may
trace the conduits that will make the
other three systems a great unit of
traffic. Following streams where
they show on the map, draw a line
from the Mississippi to Green Bay,
from Minneapolis to Duluth, from Gin
cinnati to Lake Erie, from Ashtabula
to Pittsburg, from Pittsburg to Wash
ingtOn-and the great inland cities
have become seaports. Draw another
line from Boston to Providence by
way of Taunton or across Cape Cod

Indians are not always the grave
faced orators of Cooper. According
to Mr.. Leupp, the commissioner of
Indian affairs, they are the original
American humorists. He once gave
some of them a lecture on their duties
to the agent, pointing out that he
needed time to eat, be with his family
and to rest. An aged Indian of great
dignity rose to explain that the last
agent for the tribe never did anything
but rest. A more familiar story is
that of the Indian guide who told a
traveller that it was not necessary to
hide his valuahles "for there is not an
other white man within a hundred
miles,"

The Power of Prejudice.

A curious illustration of deep-seated
prejudice is seen in the strong Oppo-
sition displayed toward the plan to
construct tunnel under the English
channel from England to France,
which has recently been revived and
has good chance to go through un-
less British hostility shall result in

The plan contemplates double tun-
mel for railway purposes, about "a
miles in length; the estimated cost is
about $80,000,0O0; it is believed the
engineering problem is comparative.

which a passage will be cut is of the
chalky order and can be readily

trative phases of the undertaking
have been carefully looked after. 1t
is admitted that the tunnel, if COM
pleted, will confer immense benefit,
and that English manufacturers, by
having a line by which their prod
ucts can be shipped directly and with
out breaking bulk to continental mar
kets, will score enormous advantage
Still, there is a strong antagonism to
the tunnel, generated principally by
the Imperial defense committee,
which sees in the tunnel a menace
to national security. The fear Of in
vasion appears to be uppermost in
many British minds and this appre-
hension creates lively visions of an
enemy pouring in by way of the hole
pierced in the chalky Dover cliffs.
Yet, says Troy Times, little charge
of dynamite would instantly put the
tunnel out of business and the result

happened to be sneaking through to

BERLIN, Jan. 26-An interesting dis
covery has been made by the we'll
known Heidelberg scientist, Professor
Klaatsch, who is now pursuing anthro-
biological studies in Austria.
Writing in the Koelner Zeitung, the
professor says that while examining
some Australasan natives arrested for
killing a white man in Port Arthur ne
found that one of the men had feet and
hands of exactly the same shape and
appearance as those of monkeys The
natives, on his inquiries, stated that in
the hitherto unexplored regions between
the rivers DAILY and Victoria numerous
people have similar hands and feet, and
otherwise bear strong resemblance to
large monkeys. This Is the first time
that these characteristics have been dis
covered in human being.
Prof. Klaatsch is now starting for
the region where these natives are to be
found, In order to verify the above
statement The discovery has awak-
