at the risk of receiving hammer

nut and speedily clim bed tree with it.
A brown fiailer and bluejay, also

the jay swiped the cracked nuts, a

Masked Musicians.

The Shabuhachi players of Japan are a privileged class of itincrant mu- sicl0ns. Their instrument, a kind of reed oboe, enjoys what is perhaps a unique distinction, 1t having been adopted as unit of measurement a sixth of a sen. or about two feet. A peculiar headdreSs, something like an immense peach basket hat, serves as d cool variety of mask. permitting the wearer to see without being Secn-a de cidcd advantage to such people as have come down in the world and are unde- sirous of publicity. It also serves as a further distinctive feature of this class of musician to those who do not read the descriptive matter which is hung iu front of each player.-Wide World.

 Uncle Sam is going to build railroad up there right away. Does that railroad mean that the fate o' tEa buffalo on our western plains will oyertake the great herds of caribou, moose and deer in Alas ka?
