WOLVES LIKE THE SHEEP.
Kansas Providers Are Fond of Nut
ton and Show Skill in Get
ting 1t.

The wolves now found In Jackson
county. Kansas. are in size between the
coyote of the western plains and the big
wolves found In the Ozark region. In
general appearance they bear resem-
blance to the Scotch collie dog. They
live in unfrequented places, generally
in the timber or along the streams, and
a favorite abode Is in caves or under
overhanging lodges Of stone.
1t is said thai the wolf has great
liking for mutton, especially young
lambs, which ia | an easy prey to him,
and that he Is most frequently found
where sheep are numerous. But he will
not turn his nose up at tender little pigs.
and when he cannot find other things
more TO his liking he will not scruple to
become a common chicken thief. But
his skill in eluding his enemies, espe-
cially human, is remarkable, and this Is
one of the most aggravating things
about him. II q hunter succeeds In get
ting within aunshot of him the chances
are ten to one that nodamage will he in
flicted. His hide is SO thick and tough
and Is covered With such a heavy coat OF
fur that an ordinary discharge from a
shotgun has little or no effect. With an
ease that is exasperatlng he simply
lopes out of danger and IL soon lost in
the brush.

THE ZAMBESI DRYING UP.
Prscarious Condition of the Water
way Of British Central
Africa.

For some months past considerable
inconvenience has been caused to plant
srs and traders throughout British Cen
trail Africa by the precarious condition
OF the Zambesi waterway. which is
gradually drying up at many parts.
Some ten years ago II was possible for
tho fiotilla OF steamers which ply be-
tween Chinde. at the mouth of the river.
and Katungss, on the Shire tributary, to
maintain communication for upward of
eight months OF the year. Even though
heavy rains have fallen throughout the
shire highlands, and Lake Nyasa has
risen several inches. many steamers
and barges are at present lying high and
dry on sandbanks in the river at vari-
Gus points.

cERMANY'S SAILING SHIPS.
Navy Said to Be in Need of More
Sailors and May Pay Large
Subsidies

Consul Pitcairn, writing from Ham
the German sailing fleet, quotes a re-
cent report by the Commercial asso-
citation OF Oldenburr, He says in part:
Steamships nowadays take hold Of
cargoes formerly reserved for sailing
ships. such as n'rates, logwood,
pitchpine and grain from California
ami Australia This is due to the
keen competition. making II often i'm
possible for sailing vessels to cover
expenses.
German steamships and sailing
craft were equal in tonnage in 1899;
since which time the former feet has
increased 1873 per cent. while the lat.
have almost disappeared, barks and
three masted schooners have de-
creased. while large four.masted and
full.rlgged ships have maintained
their position.
The German government has be-
come actively Interest Z in the re-
vlving of the empire ship sailing
trade, because Of the. rapia develop.
ment OF their navy and tao great need
Of seamen. Sailing vessels are the
only practical schools fer deckhands.
The government also desires to pre-
serve and promote the small ship
building yards, which ore declining.
1t is proposed to make an appro
priation in Germany of 35.7 cents per
day and capita for training men on
small sailing vessels. For 1885 men
this would require only s250,0S0 for a
10-months' service. and would re-
lieve many poor skipper, payments
being $107 to $2l4 per sE;nll vessel.
An extension to the larger sailing
craft would require sl.067, 2iO per an
mum, increase the fleet Of German
sailing vessels, which would be man
ned more by German seamen. and af
ford annually 1000 young men en-
trance to the mariners career.
