GAME ANIMALS OF MEXICO.
They Include Nearly Every Species
Found In North America.

They Include Nearly Every Species
Found In North America.
II may be said that every species
of game animal found on the North
American continent anywhere south
of the fftieth parallel north, ex-
cept moose. caribou and elk, is
found in Mexico. The silver tip
bear ranges all through the high
Sierra Madres wherever there are
good feeding grounds, and wher-
ever there are grizzlies one may ex-
pect also the huge cinnamon bear,
the grizzly's close neighbor. The
common brown bear is not so nu-
merous, but the black bear is quite
plentiful. The white faced bear is
more rare, though it is sometimes
found in the coast mountains. |
could not learn that this species
had ever been seen in the Sierra
Madres.
The higher mountains at all ele-
vations and even the lower foot
hills abound with white tail deer.
On the Pacific side they are nu-
merous almost to the coast. | saw
them just outside the city of Gull
'acan. They are very plentiful in
Topic territory. and | can vouch
from personal experience for the
quality of their venison. At many
mountain cabins where stopped
they were household pets, where as
fawns they had been found and
raised by children.
The mule, burro or blacktail in
habits portions of the states of Chi
huahua, Coahuila and Sonora.
The mountain lion turks in all
the high country, and along with
him is sometimes found, but sell
dom killed, the American panther.
All the American great cats, in fact,
inhabit both the Pacific and gulf
coasts and the foothills. The small
American leopard is very numerous
all along the hot country coasts,
and the Mexican jaguar, known To-
cally by foreigners as the tiger,
preys upon cattle and ranch ami
mails to such a degree as to be very
much of a nuisance.
There are some timber wolves,
but they are not dangerous. The
one animal that is really dangerous
is the javalin, OF Mexican wild boar
1t runs in large bands and will kill
both man and horse. If a javalin is
wounded the whole band viii turn
upon the hunter, and woe to him if
he has not provided for escape or
safety. The javalin is very numer-
Gus in some sections, but if not mo-
Tested it is not likely to attack

Looking For a Bargain.

A young man who works In a
Chestnut street store was invited to
his employers home for supper last
night. The purpose of the invita-
ton was to introduce the young
man to the employers daughters.
After supper the old man said:
eyes, | am proud of my daugh-
ters and would like to see them
comfortably married, and as l have
made a little money they will not
go penniless to their husbands.
There is Mary, twenty-five. years
old and a really good girl. / shall
give her $1,000 when she marries.
Then comes Rose, who won't see
thirty-fve again, and | shall give
her $4,000, And the man who
takes Eliza, who is forty, will have
$4,000 with her"

and then inquired:

FAMOUS TEA DRINKERS.
Johnson Once Took Twenty five Cups
at a Sittina.

Napoleon. like johnson. was a
hardened tea drinker, and so "A CEN
tury later was Mr. Gladstone, who
confessed that he drank more tea
between midnight and in the
morning than any other member of
the house of commons and that the
strongest brew of it never interfer-
ed with his sleep.
The dish of tea was one of the
most important factors in John
sons life. Proficiency in the gentle
art of tea brewing was regarded by
him as an essential attribute of the
perfect woman, and there can be no
doubt that his feminine friends (and
their name was legionl did their
best to crafty his amiable weak
ness.
Richard Cumberland tells us,
says the London Gentlewoman, that
his inordinate demands for his IA
vorate beverage were occasionally
difficult to comply with. On Sir
Joshua Reynolds reminding him he
had already consumed eleven cups
he replied: "Sir, did not count
your glasses of wine. Why should
you number my cups of tea?" And
laughingly he added in perfect good
humor, "Sir, | should have released
our hostess from any further trou-
BILE, but you have reminded me that
| want one more cup to make up
the dozen, and | must request Mrs.
Cumberland to round up my score"
When he saw the complacency
with which the lady of the house
obeyed his behests he said cheerily:
madam, must tell you for your
comfort you have escaped much
better than a certain lady did
awhile ago, on whose patience I in
truded greatly more than have on
yours. She asked me for no other
purpose than to make a zany of me
and set me gabbling to a parcel of
people / knew nothing of. So,
madam, l had my revenge on her,
for | swallowed five and twenty
cups of her tea"
Cumberland declared that his
wife would gladly have made tea
for johnson as long as the New
river could have supplied her with
water, for it was then, and then
only, he was seen at his happiest
moments.
On his Scottish tour his inexora-
bic demands for tea sorely tried the
patience of Lady Macleod of Dun
vegan, who after giving him his
sixteenth cup suggested that fur
ther supplies in a small basin might
be agreeable to him.
81 wonder, madam" he answered
roughly, "why all the ladies ask me
such questions. 1t is to save your
self trouble, madam, and not me-"
The lady was discreetly silent
and resumed her task.

LEPRosY.
The Modern Disease Is Different Fror-
That Of Olden Times.


There is possibly no disease the
presence of which inspires greater
fear in the public mind than does
leprosy. This is perhaps in a meas
ure due to the loathsomeness of the
disease in its later stages, but it is
in most cases simply fear of a
name.
The disease OF diseases spoken
of as leprosy in the Bible are pop
ularly supposed to be the same as
the leprosy Of today, and the evil
dent fear the leper inspired in the
people of old is held to justify the
dread with which he is still regard
ed. The Biblical descriptions do
not, however, fit modern leprosy,
so that, whether the fear Of the
'leper" Of olden times was or was
not justified, it should not be al
lowed to color the view with which
the leper of today is regarded.
Leprosy is indeed an infectious
disease-that is to say, it is due to
the presence in the tissues of ba-
cillus known generally as Hansen's
bacillus, after the Norwegian ply
sician who discovered it. But
whether it is contagious under the
ordinary conditions of modern life,
in temperate climates at least, is
held by specialists in diseases Of
the skin to be very doubtful.
OF the few lepers known to the
physicians in all the larger cities
some are cared for in hospitals and
others live at home and visit the
clinics or the doctors Office from
time to time. Yet an instance in
which another person has acquired
the disease from any of these lepers
is unknown.
There are many diseases more to
be dreaded than leprosy because
more rapidly fatal, more painful or
more contagious. Yet none of
them, except perhaps smallpox, Is
more feared
The illogical terror of leprosy
may be the cause of great cruelty
to those afflicted. There are thou
sands Of people who show culpable
indifference to the enforcement Of
the laws against splitting in public
places, although they know full
well that the success of the crusade
against tuberculosis hinges largely
upon care in this regard. Yet these
same persons would fly in horror
from any place that had harbored a
leper.-Youth's Companion.
