five or six miles to the east.
The weather was very changeable, and we ex
perienced snow, hail. thunder, rain and mist in
disagreeable succession. On September 18th l

were the heralds of success, and that George had

tinct stalks missed him once, and finally killed
him at five o'clock in the evening.
The horns measured 20 inches in length, IL
inches in circumference and % inches from tip to
tip. This, of course, is small in length for an
Indian burhel, but good in other respects. The
native hunters declare that the heads In this dis
trict never attain to very much greater length.
and DR. Smith tells that the head which he
sent to England somewhat thicker in cir
conference but not SO long and much more
clumsy in appearance All of which would seem
to prove that his older ram, which had
worn down the tips of his horn, while my speci-
men is probably that of rather younger beast,
very nearly, If not quite, in his prime.
He certainly was not at all strong smelling,
which is a characteristic of the Indian variety,
though George said he noticed distinct odor
from the herd. The native hunters declare that
these sheep rut in January and that the lambs are
dropped in May If this Is so, the best rams
were probably still on higher ground, which we
had not time to reach.

remarkable relic of Napoleon's Russian campaign
in the form of a copy of Goethe's "Werther,"
which was his personal property and accom-

The volume, which is bound In leather and in
an excellent state of preservation, contains, as
we'll as Napoleon's signature. a curious inscrip-
ton on the fly leaf by an unknown hand, stating
that the book stolen by a Cossack from the
emperor's sledge one night on the retreat from
Moscow.
Besides the date of the theft and the name of
the thief details are given of the method by
which the Cossack managed to possess himself
of the volume.
