DEATH COLLECTS UNUSUALLY
HEAVY TOLL DURING THE
HUNTING SEASON IN
NORTHERN MICH.

No longer may football, automobile
ing. and air navigation be considered
the most dangerous pastimes. The
record of hunting accidents
i'm Northern Michigan during the sea-
son which comes to a close today
shows that death collected an unus-
ually heavy toll this year, nineteen
lives being sacrificed. In addition
there were twenty accidents of
a less serious nature reported, some
of which may yet have fatal results.
Five deaths resulted from self-in
nicted wounds; four of those killed
were mistaken for game; three were
hit by stray bullets; three received
their wounds through their rifles COM
ing in contact with some other article
and being discharged; two We're shot
by hunting companions; one death re-
suited from tetanus and one hunter
was drowned. OF the non fatal acct
dents, fifteen wounds were self-innict-
ed: five hunters were accidentally shot
by companions; four received wounds
through their rifles coming in contact
with some other article; one was
struck by stray bullet; one died OF
gangrene; one was hit by a bullet fir
ed at a target; and one placed bull
let in his pipe and received a wount
when the bullet was discharged by the
heat. Five of the victims of wounds
which have been non-fatal so far
may die, and of the others, many hav,
lost eyes, arms, feet, hands. legs an'
have suffered wounds which viii
main them for life. In addition Their
have been hundreds of minor accident
which have not been reported.
Strange as it may seem, most of tn
serious accidents this year occurre'
! during the bird hunting season an
more fatalities may be attributed I
shot guns than to high powered rifle
used in hunting for big game.
1t is fortunate that there were nc
more accidents. Figures compiled b
the secretary of state show that NOR
| than 10000 deer licenses were issue

/ number, il is thought that fully 1900

Most of the accidents may be attribut

Marriage of Widows In india.

We are glad to note the number of widow marriages increasing every year. Following on the heels of one In high life in Calcutta, there have been lately three such marriages in different parts of the country This Is noteworthy record, which should cause the social reformer to take heart for the ultimate success of his work. The agitation that has been kept up for years by the social conference has been successful. if only in i'm pressing all classes of the Hindu com ,uunity with the necessity of widow marriage. It is, however. well known hat those who still take exception to 1t and offer sentimental objectiors have no widowed daughters at home. and consequently have no means 10 judge their sad condition Indian Mirror.

The Aoe of the World.

An endless number of scientists have delved into the question of the age of this good old world, and many have undertaken to fix its age. But the fact is that none of them has ever been able to produce irrefutable evidence of the absolute truth of his deductions. Pinned down to hard facts. these men of science are forced to admit that their deductions are in great measure mere speculation.
 Countless dates have been assigned to tsr earth's creation, ranging all he way from 3616 to 69S4 B. C., one just as authentic apparently as the other There is in fact no way to fix the date with any degree of certainty. For the most part we are inclined to favor the late given by the English Bible-4004 B. C. In this opinion of the creation tuch profound scientists as Usher and Blair concur. although they admit that 1t must forever remain in the shadow of doubt.
 The question of the oldest race is no less speculative.

BATTLE MUSIC NOT MARITAL.
British Soldiers Prefer Music Hall Songs to Heroic Hymns When
 They 60 Into Action.

It is an understatement of deeds of heroism which delights the British sol dier. declares Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in Through the Magic Door," Anything in the least "highfalutin" would depress a body of English troops; German troops can march to battle singing Luther's hymns; French men will work themselves into g fren. zy by a song of glory but English poets need not imagine that martial song is what the British soldier needs. as these instances tes Ify.
 Our sailors. working the heavy guns in South Africa, sang: Here's an- other lump of sugar for the bird" I saw a regiment go into battle 10 the refrain of "A little bit of the top." The martial poet. unless he had the genius and the insight of a Kipling, would have wasted a good deal of ink before he got down to such chants as these.
 The Russians are not unlike us in this respect. l remember reading of some column ascending a breach and singing lustily from start to finish. un. til few survivors were left victorious npon the crest, with the song still go ing.
 A spectator inquired what wondrous chant it was which had warmed them to such deed of valor, and he found that the exact meaning of the words. endlessly repeated, was Ivan is in the garden picking cabbages."
 The fact is, l suppose, that a mere r1onotonous sound may take the place of the tom-tom of savage warfare, and hypnotize the soldier into yalor -- Youths Companion.

PUGNAcITY OF EAGLE OWLS
Many Cases or Record In Which They Have Made Attacks on
 Human Beings.

On his way home one evening last october from Karbenni-g railway station, in central Sweden, a young man when passing through a small wood was vigorously attacked by an eagle owl, relates writer in The Field. Alighting on his shoulder, the bird inflicted some severe wounds with its powerful beak and claws. and when beaten of it carried off his cap in token of victory.
 Some years ago several similar at tacks by eagle owls occurred during the summer months in the province or Vester Gotland, in one of which an unfortunate old man lost an eye.
 correspondent of the Swedish periodical Fran Skog och Sic states that in the part of Vermeland to which he belongs there was an eagle owl which became well known for it's repeated attacks on human beings who chanced to come near its abode. While cutting timber one day a man was assailed by the bird, which drove It's claws into the upper part of his body.
 He managed to get rid of 1t, but it at once came on again. when a blow rom his ax put an end to it's further attentions. A peasant in the parish Of Stammar. Nerike, had similar experience in April last. He was fetching water from a lake close by his house when an eagle owl sud denly flew at him. A kick made it retire few yards, when it came in contact with the fence. This seemed to irritate it. for it returned to the attack, but the man seized 1t by the neck, tucked it under his arm and carried 1t of home.
 On the way the owls mate kept fly Ing around in unpleasantly close prox- imity Ultimately the captor had to dispatch his prisoner. his wife and children being much scared at it's formidable aspect.

DISH THAT THEY ALL LIKED
Service of Jcwi and Greens Msdo Hit st Dinner at Which MIL
 lIonaires Sat.

In Lexington. Ky, where the old regime still exists fin all It's lavishness, lady whose house is furnished with heirlooms gave a dinner party to a New York millionaire and his wife
 The Blue Grass lady had once heard her northern friends say that the best food they had ever eaten was in Ken lucky, and it was nothing more diff ficult than corn pones, jowl and greens and buttermilk. The beautiful dinner at which the millionaire and his wife were guests of honor will long be re- membered by those who went to it.
 The hospitable board was set with Venetian glass, which belonged to the past annals of that fine old family. In the center was an epergne of the same piled with fruits, red apples. grapes, both black and white, peaches and pears At the four corners were Venetian candelabra. and the beauti- ful wine glasses and decanters added a richness of color that was nothing less than dazzling. The dinner was wonderful, too. as the dinners always are at this famous house. Music played somewhere in the distance, there was much talk and laughter. and the northerners were enchanted; but there was to be a surprise, for at the third course where an entree would usually be served there was handed great silver dish of iowl and greens. Little crisp corn pones came with 1t and a crystal pitcher filleC with but termilk added the finishing touch. And this was the peice de resistance truly. for every member of that dinner party took second helping.

ALWAYS MEMS WORK
WOMEN IN FRENCH PROVINCE
 NEVER MAKE BREAD.
Norman Peasants Wearing Heavy Wooden Shoes kneed the Dough Wooden Shoes kneed the Dough
 Made In Barn.

It Is not hard to persuade a Norman peasant to believe anything strange or outrageous of that extraordinary coun try, America, but he always finds it difficult to understand how it can be true that American women make bread.
 The men of America must be brutes he thinks, for although a farmers wife in the north of France may do a good part of the heavy work about the farm. she never thinks of making the bread. That is mans work. and 1t is carried on. not in the ketchen, but in the stable.
 The Norman peasant eats ar aston. ishins quantity of bread. He has lit tie else-except cider--for his break. fast and supper. and 1t is very Inn portant part of his monday meal as well.
 And such queer-looking bread as it Is. The ''loaves" are as round and as paleiy yellow as the full moon; they are often three feet in circumference and eight or ten inches thick. Seeing one of them for the first time you would be likely to take 1t for large cheese.
 Breadmaking being only a monthly occurrence in Norman household, the operations must be on a scale oi considerable magnitude if the family supply is to be sufficient to last for four weeks. The dough is always mixed in the center of an inclosed space upon the floor of the barn.
 At other times cats. dogs and poul. try enjoy the freedom of this space. but when breakmaking is toward, these are evicted and the floor is swept-let us hope very thoroughly.
 There is no dough pan or trough The flour and water are poured to- gether upon the floor, and the farmer and his sons or hired laborers beat the mass into the proper consistency with heavy clubs, widely fiattened at the ends. until they look something like roughly shaped snow shovels. Then a lump of leaven is added, and the mass is given 10 or 12 hours to rise"
 Next 1t must be kneaded, a process which is accomplished with the feet. shod in heavy sabots, or wooden shoes-not the everyday shoes. which are painted black, but made of un- stained whitewood-the men leap into the midst of the dough. They jump about with agility; they stamp and kick the spongy stuff; they dance clumsy jigs in it, the stiffening dough clinging tenaciously to their shoes. It is the hardest of hard work, re. duiring endurance as we'll as strength, than one of the men will be stagger. ing to and fro in the pasty mass. thoroughly exhausted.
 The dough is allowed to rise @ second time: is again soundly beaten with the fiattened clubs; is then put into great round pans and baked in the massive brick oven which stands In almost every Norman stable.
 The bread which results is firm, close in texture, and rather dingy in color, sweet but dry, and decidedly palatable even to those who have ssen it made.
 As the month draws to a close, the outer crust becomes so thick and hard that it can only be penetrated by saw kept for that purpose. But this horny shell has its use, for 1t keeps he interior of the loaf fairly soft and 'rach comatinaa for Sayaral mQnthS
