dente del Comite de legislaci6n, in.

Mr.. Grahame Sc manifesto en-
contra del proyecto y dicesque vera
con mas gusto que Sc restableciera
las peleas de gallos, porque cree
que este es menos cruel que el uso
de la garrocha con los bueyes. Sc
extiende en- consideraciones acerca
del proyecto y dice que siente opo-
nerse a este, porque a el Sc lie ha
dicho que 81 el bill que Sc discute

el, del sefior Grahame.
FL sefior Diaz Navarro arguye
que el seiior Comisionado del inte-
rior Sc opone al proyecto conside-
landolo desde un punto de vista
caritativo, pero que el puede probar
con cartas que guarda en- su pupitre
que mas de cuatrocientos ganaderos
y propietarios de carreterfas solici-
tan Sc restablezca el uso de la ga
rrocha, porque entienden que el Ia
tigo, que es 10 que Sc einplea actual
mente, es mas daiiino para el ga
.nado que aquella. Ademas-con-
tin1a Diaz Navarro-esos CANA
deros expresan que es diffcil domar
y dirigir un becerro con Ell latigo L
otro instrumental que no sea la ga
rrocha. Agrega que la question que
esta presente no es que el uso de la
garrocha resulte cruel para el gana-
do, sino que hay que tener en- cuen-
ia la solicitud de los ganaderos que
la Green necesaria para sus intere-
ses y claro que 81 les fuera perjudi-
cial no la pidieran.
Hace uso de la palabra el sefior
Acuiia y contesta la alusi6n hecha

achievement OF a Chinese kitemaker is de-
signed to represent gigantic centipede- This
is unQuestionably the longest and most fan
tastic amusement device that has ever been
constructed for aerial flight From head to tail
il measures nearly forty feet. and is made 10
fold up aCCordonlike. The fierce large head OF
the creature. with long protruding horns. huge
eyes and gaping mouth, forms the front OF the
kite. This is the gem and marvel of the whole
collection. and entirely new to the eyes OF the
Western world. It's construction is as follows
Extending from head to tail and constituting
the body portion a series of bamboo sticks
running crosswise the centre. to which are
fastened twenty-five more pasteboard disks
a foot in diameter. These are painted
in circles of black. yellow and white. represent :

walk along the dusty highrOad to some wood or

trudging along-the bride in all her wedding
garments, white dress, white shoes, wreath and
veil; the groom in dress coat top hat, white
cTaVat and wafstcoat, with white ribbon bow
on his sleeve. Almost all the girls and young
women are dressed in white or light colors; the
mothers and grandmOthers (the whole family
turns out) in black. with flowers in their bon
nets. There Is usually a fiddler walking ahead
making most remarkable sounds his old
cracked instrument, and the younger members
of the party take an occasional gallon along the
road They are generally very gay: there ds
much laughing. and, from time to time, a burst
of song. It is always mystery to me how the

4 WOLEvS FEAR OF IRON.

In the early days wolves were comparatively
unsuspCious and il was easy To trap or poison
them. Then new knowledge. a better compre-
hension Of the modern dangers, seemed to
spread among the wolves They learned how to
detect and defy the traps and poison and IN
some way the knowledge was passed from one
10 another, till all wolves were fully possessed
of the information How this Is done Is not easy
to saw II is easier prove that ii is done. Few
wolves ever get into trap fewer still get into
trap and out again, and thus they learn that
steel trap is a thing to be feared. And yet all
wolves have the knowledge, as every trapper
knows and since they could not set II at first
hand. they must have got II second hand-that
is, the information was communicated to them
by others of their Kind.
II is well known among hunters that a piece
Of iron is enough to protect any carcass from
the wolves. If a deer or antelope has been shot
and is be left out overnight, all that Is
needed for it's protection Is old horseshoe.
spur or even any part of the hunters dress. No
wolf will go near such suspicious looking or
human tainted things. They will starve rather
than approach the carcass so guarded.
With poison. similar change has come about
Strvchnine was considered infallible when first
il was introduced. 1t did vast destruction Tor a
time: then the wolves seemed TO discover the
danger of that particular smell and would no
longer take the poisoned bait. as | know from
numberless experiences.
1t is thoroughly well known among the cattle
men now that the only chance of poisoning
wolves is in the late summer and early autumn
when the young are beginning TO run with the
mother She cannot watch over all of them the
,yhsie time. and there is chance of some of
them finding the bait and taking it before they
have been taught TO let that sort 9f sneIl-thing.
