In Germany the boar hunt occurs an

the bristiing beasts. They run fast,
and the faster they skip along the wild
er and '.nadder'' they get Sometimes
they are shot, but the correct style OF
killing IS to use a long spear or short
swordlike knife The hunter spies his
boarship speeding along il an almost
straight line, blinded with rage and
ferocity. Bending over sideways to the
earth, the sportsman thrusts his spear
dull end downward in the soil and the
sharp point s!antins upward and turn

withstanding that the ice may have

may extend thirty or forty miles from

instinct is Of the class that enables
the bird without any mark or chart in

"A Richt and Lawful Rood"

An example Of the old rough and
ready methods Of arriving at meas
urement is the Elizabethan way Of
getting the feet" Falentin Leigh,
who wrote on surveying, records that
after service on Sunday sixteen men
were stopped at the church door, just
as they happened to come out, and
drawn up in line, left foot to left foot.
The length thus obtained was taken
as "a right and lawful rood to meas
ure and survey the land with and
a sixteenth part Of it as "a right and
lawful foot" Although big and little
men were thus roughly averaged
against each other, the results nat
urally varied to some extent Hence
it is. as Shaw Sparrow notes IL treat
ing of this rood as the architectural
'Tbay' which gives US the bay win
dow" that bay is sometimes found
to be rather less than sixteen feet Of
twelve inches.-London Chronicle.

Tramps and Cuff MuzzIers,

The most curious article in the
tramp's outfit bears an appropriately
odd name-the cuff muzzler." 1t con-
sists Of the leg of an old stocking cut
up into short lengths and worn over
the wrist like thick mitten, and its
object is to increase the circumference
Of the wrist to such an extent that g
constable cannot easily slip handcuf
over it.
Indeed, a pair of cuff muzzlers''-
which are worn by none save veteran
roadsters-make it very difficult for q
constable alone and unaided to hand
cuff their wearer Tramps' tools bear
puzzling names. Particularly cryptic
is "fddle,'' the term for big nail

The "Green Flash" at Sunset.

A correspondent writes that during
the course Of voyage when midway
between MarseiIes and the strait Of
Bonifacio green FASH was seen at
sunset. The sky was perfectly clear
after q cloudless day, with little wind.
AS the sun approached the horizon the
line 'twiNt sea and sky for about forty
five degrees each side Of the sun be-
came sufused with a rich dull rose
pink, and the waves reflected mar
relous ruby shade on their surfaces
facing the sunset, while the other
faces were an opalescent blue or green
from the upper sky. The two 'colors
flashed and changed in marvellous
way. Such intensity Of coloring had
never been seen by those on board
The sun set clean into the sea, and
about ten (or less) seconds after it had
disappeared bright green single fash,
Just like railway signal lamp, but

Whitefeld, whose dramatic appeals
10 his listeners were always a note
worthy part of his sermons, once
pre- 'rhed to q body Of seamen in New
York In the course Of his sermon be
introduced the following words:
well, my boys, we have a clear sky
and are making fine Roadway over a
smooth sea before L light breeze, and
we shall soon lose sight Of land. But
what means this sudden lowering Of
the heavens and that dark cloud rising
from the western horizon? Hark!
Don't you hear the distant thunder?
Don't you see those fashings of light
ning? There is a storm gathering.
Every man to his duty! How the
waves rise and dash against the ship!
The air is dark. The tempest RACES!
Our masts are gone! The ship is on
her beam ends! What next!'
The hands Of every sailor were grip

A Woman's Letter.

Women. it is generally admitted,
write much better letters than men.
n. Marcel Provost discovered the
reason for this superiority. 'The OBJ
vicus meaning is never the one we
should read into, Woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of letter just as
she employs glance or smile, in a
way that is carefully thought out and
with an eye to effect And, after all,
does a woman's hat serve to cover her
head? Does a woman's parasol keep
off the sun? Why, then, should a wo-
mans letter serve to convey her real
thoughts to the person addressed, just
like the letters Of some honest grocer,
who writes, L send you five pounds of

you Eve pounds of coffee?-London

A Good Creed.

To be able to look every man square
ly in the eyes; to make friends and
hold them; to keep clean Of mind and
body; to smile at i'll fortune; to laugh
at my mistakes; to frown when temp
tation comes avisiting; to be ready
with a word Of cheer when that word
will help; to strive to develop to the
utmost the heart, head and hand
qualities endowed by the Ruler over
all: to hold all women in respect and
to love one; to weave the thread OF
eternal optimism into the lives Of all
with whom I may come in contact; to
worship nature and the Great Spirit
that conceived It ali-in word, to play
the game CT life with a steady hand
and qualmless conscience and real
desire to be Of seryice-that IS my re
lgion. And, say, If can live up to
the mark, don't you think I'VE corralleo
about all the creed that IS necessary ?
