WNNlNe THE RnEA.
eseu3tye Of Ostrich Chased With Dog
and Horse.

For the person who desires a
unique form of sport running the
rhss" IN southern Patagonia is rec
uunmcnded. The rhea is a member
Of the ostrich family, but somewhat
smaller. 1t runs with the swiftness
Of greyhound or a fast horse and
has knack Of doubling on Its
track, which often serves it in elud-
ing its pursuers. The natives in
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
bola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full cry, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared to throw the bola il op-
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting Of two or
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to a thong six or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the boA strikes regardless Of
whether II be the legs, neck or
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters TO overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
AT the approach of danger the
rhes will often crouch fat upon the
ground with neck outstretched un-
der the grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowiRg against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case the dsgs soon discover the hid.
ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure Of
its artless ruse, it makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase of the rhea, which |
sometimes extends over a distance
Of five or six miles, is a thrilling
one. It has for the rider all the ex-
element Of a horse race, with the
added satisfaction Of knowing that
the winning of the race will result
In q welcome addition to the larder.
The wings Of the rhea have a flavor
not unlike that of turkey, and il
one is not averse to the taste of 4
horsefesh the meat of the thigh is
very satisfactory. The rhea is one

The Way To Look At It.

Don't make the mistake of weighing advertising
by what it costs. 1t is impossible to pay too much
for advertising-if it pays. Nothing is cheaper
returns Nothing is more expensive than Cheap
advertising that brings no results. If a newspaper
charges you so cents line, and every line brings
you dollar profit, you have got regular Kondike.
II a newspaper charges you so cents a square foot
and you never heard from it, you are pouring money
into rat hole. Advertising is merchandise Buy
the kind you can make profit on, no matter what
itcosts. Have nothing to do with the improbable
kind, no matter how low the price is.

HUNTING THE SEAL.
The Dog Hood Of the Atlantic 10 .
Desperate Fiqhter.

The seal hunters have been call
ed heroes, but they have earned the
title in doing just what their ia
Tiers and forefathers have done for
200 years-catching seals to make
living. When We think of seals we

which inhabits the north Pacific
ocean. But in the waters of the
Atlantic lives another species,
which is also sought for It's coat or
hide, which goes into many thou
sands Of pocketbooks, satchels,
gloves and other articles, for which
it is especially valuable. So every
year hardy Newfoundlanders take
their lives in their hands in the
seal hunt, for not only is its coat
valuable, but the blubber of the
young yields an oil much priced for
different purposes.
Ihere are four species OF seals in
the waters around Newfoundland
and Labrador - the bay seal, the
harp, the hood and the square flip
per. The harp seal-the seal Of
commerce-is so called from hav-
ing a broad, curved line of dark
connected spots extending along
each shoulder and meeting on tho

As the hoods are often with th,
hsrps, they are also taken for Their
skins. The male. called the ~doa
hood" is distinguished from the fe-
male by a curious sack or bag OF
flesh on his nose. When attacked
or enraged he initiates this hood
with air so as TO cover the face and
eyes, and it is strong enough to re-
sist seal shot When thus protect
ed he can be killed only by shoot
ing him in the neck and the base Of
the skull.
Unlike the cowardly harp seal,
the dog hood fights desperately in
defense Of his mate and young ones,
and if they are killed he becomes
furious, initiates his hood, while his
nostrils dilate into two huge blad-
