SCREAM OF. SPOTTED HYENA
shriu Cry Of This Animal One of the
Most Uneanny Sounds Of
Nature.

The shrll falsetto scream OF a spot
ted hyena coming in to feast at a
kill is one of the most uncanny
sounds in uature-so writes Maj. J.
Decentralization who has had
many interesting opportunities of OBJ
Serving these animals while warden
of the Transvaal game reserves, in his
book, animal Life in Africa"
Soon after dark the hunter who is
watching near a carcass will hear
long-draUn howl coming from some
where far away in the forest 1t is an
swered from another side, and pres
emily the chorus is taken up from all
directions AS the night draws on,
the cries approach, until at last one
Issues from the bush close at hand.
Now a stealthy shape shows itself for
an instant on the edge of the bush, a
maniacal shrek smites the ear, and is
followed by an interval of dead ST.
lence. Suddenly there comes a babel
of the most extraordinary noises
weird chucklings, screams Of merry
laughter, and occasionally the typical
long-drawn "whoo-oo!" the first syl-
liable pitched in a deep bass key,
while the second rises to a piercing
scream.
One hyena, holder than the others,
rushes forward and seizes a portion
of the carcass, and then, if the watch
er does not betray his presence, the
whole troop closes in upon the bait. A
gunshot may disturb nobler game,
and the hunter must therefore drive
away the scavengers with stones.
I was fishing in the Sabi one eve.
| ming a few hundred yards from the
compound fence, and the shadows had
already gathered before l began to
retrace my steps. Just as / was leav-
ing the bank, a most extraordinary
series of sounds came from the re-
cesses of a bush 50 yards away. There
was a shrek as 0f some human being
in distress, followed by number OF
low gurglings AID chucklings, and
then another shrek.
Knowing that No natives were in the
bush, I stood wondering what it
could be, and as l listened to the
noise, several of my servants, with
assagais and ligl is, came running at
top speed through the compound gate
They stopped on seeing me, and said,

by a lion
The sounds still went on, now re.
sembling the walls Of an infant, when
suddenly the familiar "whoo-oo!" set
all doubts concerning the nature OF
the animal at rest.-Youth's Compan'

GAMING THE CULPRlT.
The Marks 1t Leaves Lock Worse Than
the WHALING Feels.

In a London police court recently a
teacher in public school was prose
euted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him TO a
physician on the evening of the day
OF his castigatiOn and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the Offense
which had caused il, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the. amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says:
"a blow from a cane causes at the
time an appreciate amount of pain
(Which. by the way, is what it is in
tended to do, but it leaves behind a
mark quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount Of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
infiicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for time, but only for about an hour,
while there will be visible on the we'll
protected and tender skin of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow the heart of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a
Gaming looks far worse than it feels.

Sweet Thino.

ScaTaorows are not the most beau.
tiiul things in the world, though once
in q while you find one that is some
what picturesque. But a farmer in
New York has a scarecrow that is dis
tinctly valuable. 1t is a sweet thing.
The farmer thought that something
about the scarecrow was not as usual,
and he went to find out what it was.
He found that bees were swarming
about the figure, and that one leg Of
the trousers was filed with honey
comb. 1t was a queer place for a
swarm of wild bees, but the farmer
did not object to their trespassing on
his property. He let them alone and
after they had stored up a good sup.
ply OF honey he coaxed. them into a
hive and set them up to housekeeping
In his orchard. Then the children had
fresh honey on their pancakes.

PUT YOURSELF INTO TASKS
Only in That Way Can You obtair
the Real Pleasure of Joy of
Creating.

While every man who makes a liv.
ing is not a genius, yet the real JOY
Of creating can belong to each of us
in just as real and true a way. If we
put into farming, or banking, or our
school work, the sense of making
something. we get the great treasure
out of it. When we fill any task
with ourselves, we make something.
A girl says, 81 made the room tidy"
which simply means she put some.
thing of herself into the disorderly
room, and so beautifed it. After she
had made it tidy, it reflected some.
thing of herself; it looked some idea
of order such as he had in her own
mind. A boy says, 81 made a good
recitation in school yesterday" and
he is right, for, although the lesson
was already there, it had to wait for
him to come along and make it q
recitation.
So it is everywhere. Making any
thing means, no matter how simple
the task, that we bring out some
thing that did not exist before; and
that that something is to some degree
like the maker of it. We get out
what we put in. If any one wants to
be miserable, the surest way is just
to do things without putting his
whole heart and self into them
Think of the mere outside of the
tasks, and they are not worth doing
Butaonce put yourself into them, and
all that is changed-From George
Lawrence Parker's Making Living
in ST. Nicholas.

HARDY TUSCAN WOMEN.
One Vigorous Old Dame Who Acted as
a Mountain Guide.


Illustrative of the hardness of wO-
men in Tus :any, Sir Francis Vane re-
lates in walks and People In Tus-
cany" the experiences of two Eng
liShmen who We're travelling in Italy
and who appealed to a village innkeep-
er for trustworthy guide to conduct
them overtime pass between the noun
tains Of Rondinajo and Ire Potenze
To their surprise an old woman APP
peared and announced that she had
come to make arrangements for the
journey. They concluded she must be
the mother of their guide.
what Is our amazement to learn
that this elderly dame was our destin-
ed leader, and indeed she was got up
for the fray in long boots-and short
skirts.
ION we tramped, she always ahead,
walking with a fine military swing
which lifeguardsman might have en-
We'd. The path was difficult and could
not be used by vehicles. Our guide
led US up the steep way which follows
a small and rushing stream issuing
from out the side of Rondinajo. and up
it we assembled for an hour or more
until the pass was reached.
1--WE here had the merciful intention
of sending the old woman back, an
intention, however, she very strongly
opposed. 1t was only by allowing her
to come some few miles farther on that
we could induce her to leave us before
she had seen us safely to the end of
the journey"

Lest there be some misunderstand-

fully that in no sense will the city
ordinances forbidding the destruction

of extra policemen has been engaged
to see that no outhouses are over
turned, 10 fences torn down and no
vehicles run away with. Enough
extra policemen have been employed
to patrol every alley, so that boys con-
templating marauding trips would do
well to change their scheme of opera
tions.
There will be no objection to every
body masking and coming down town
for the evening. The police viii be
Ienient toward those who wish TO
