Rode a Hipponotamus.

The meeting here of Lord Selborne,
High Commissioner of. South Africa,
and Luanika, Paramount Chief of
Barotseland, was full of quaint incl
dent.
Nothing could be more picturesque
than Luanika's arrival. A fleet of
$50 native dugout canoes came up
the board Zambesi. let by the chiefs
own enormous boat, with It's crew OF
thirty paddlers.
There broke from the hundreds OF
women assembled on the shore the
royal song of welcome as Luanika's
craft drew nigh. Dressed in every
imaginable brilliant color, black faces
shining and black eyes sparkling with
excitement the women marched slow
ly forward to the rhythmical clapping
of hands, chanting rs they went, to
the river front, and then, with wild
shreaks and peals of laughter, broke
their ranks and raced 10 bathe their
hands and faces in the water in which
the kings boat swan.
In the evening the Paramount Chief
presented Lord Selborne with young
hippopotamus. This beast, which is
perfectly tame and about half grown.
had followed the chiefs canoe 300
miles down the river from Lialui,
taking no more than passing inter-
est in the herds of wild "hippos" on
the way. 1t slept peacefully through
the greater part of the presentation
ceremony, and was finally gallantly
mounted and ridden out of the court
yard by member of the Paris Mis-
sionary Society.-Sesheke correspon-

from the northeast quarter the wino
was blowing and the air had lost all
trace of ozone before 1t had reached
Hyde Park; at Bushey Park. although
practically a country district. no
ozone was present in the air. London
had not only distracted the goodness
out of the air that swept over it. but
had added to 1t the exhalations from
the breath and bodies of millions nj
human beings and tens of thousands
of animals. Persons living within q

Make-Believe Mascots.

Gamblers are VIGOROUSLY supersti-
tious, as all who have visited Monte
Carlo know. There you will find a
parasitic class who live on the super
stition of frequenters of the tables.
They are hunchbacks, and the gam
blers imagine that they are certain
to have run of luck after touching
the humps of these unhappy wretches.
Accordingly. one finds at each en-
trance to the Casino row of waiting
hunchbacks ready to bring luck to
any one who will pay them. Each
has his own list of patrons, and q
very comfortable income some of
them earn.
Not few Of them are normal in
every respect, their humps being
simply padding and framework strap
ped upon their shoulders. One such
was recently exposed and punished
summarily.
A rumor had spread among the
gaming fraternity that he was
fraud, so one Of his patrons, instead
Of patting him gently on the back as
usual, gave him resounding thwack,
which effectually dislodged the bogus
hump.
Having thus effected record quick
cure, the gamesters determined that
their patient must also take the wat
ers in the lake of the Casino gardens
in case he should have relapse.
After lengthy dip he was so thor
oughly cured that he left Monte Car
10 never to return. But there are still
bogus mascots at the doors of the
gaming hall, and there always will be
till the foolish superstition dies out

HUDSON HIGHLAND BOBCATS.
The Doodletown Nimrod and His Dun
derberg Quarry.

Bobcats, wildcats or lynxes, as one
may prefer to call them, are certainly
not extinct in the Hudson Highlands.
A woodsman friend of mine who lives
in Doodletown was the possessor until
recently of bobcat killed by his
young son last winter in Dunderberg.
This man Is no mean hunter himself,
and he knows the mountains like a
book He is great grandson by
marriage of a member of the expedi-
tion which found land Immediately
thereafter forever lost track of the
famous Long Tinker's mine, the story
OF which was told at length little
more than year ago.
The writer visited him yesterday In
his home at the foot of the Timp
Pass, and in the course of conversa-
tion about fine raccoon the Doodle
town hunter had just brought in was
informed of the bobcat episode.
THE boy shot link on the noun
tain early last January" he said,
"an' not long ago he sold him fur $25
to man at Tompkins Cove, who had
him stuffed. 1t was a yearling kit

In seed it was thin and poorly from
the hard feedin' of winter, but even
then it weighed forty-fve pounds.
If it hadn't been so poorly it'd weigh
ed seventy five DGundS"
Any one who doubts this story may
easily obtain proof of its genuineness.
This bobcat happened to be shot just
south of the Orange county line, but
my informant asserts that a friend
of his hid an encounter with one last
summer near Fo"t Montgomery w.
T. ii. in New YORK Sun.

and has been taken up by other labor

should be so particularly opposed TO
the snuff habit is not clear, except
that man with his under lip loaded
with about three drachms of the pow

the barber's eyes out.
Other labor organizations have taS-

Way Of the Debtor In India.

They had a peculiar way of going
into bankruptcy among the Marawa-
ris in India now unhappily giving way
to the less picturesque method of the
white man. When a man could not
pay his bills he would summon his
creditors. They were ushered into a
room in which the Thakur or house
hold god was enshrined, but covere d
up with cloth and with the lace
turned to the wall in order that 1t
might not witness the scene that was
to follow. The insolvent would then,

How to warn off trespassers with

by a canny peasant in the south of

"Caution-All persons entering this
wood do so at their own risk. The

as other equally venomous snakes"
