BOAR HUNT GIVES THRILLS
Sport Which Once Was Special Amuse.
ment Of Kings. ls still In Vogue
In West indies.

That all the romance usually sup
posed TO belong to the brave days OF
old has not gone out of the world Is
Indicated by n travellers story Of wild
boar hunting In the West Indies. This
sport was once the special amusement
OF kings.
I'VE were retraclng our steps 10 n
mountnineer's cabin, when our dog left
us with yelp, and away we all went
pell-mell after him" says this narrator.
"A run of 20 rods brought us to the
dog and huge black boar 80 feet
away which had turned to protect the
retreat of a herd Of wild hogs scamper-
Ing away behind. There stood tho saw
age fellow, all head, bristllng shOul-
ders, jaws and tusks, champing and
cracking his jaws, splendid picture
OF feroclous bravery.
ITO one side and another he sprnnC
ms the dog crowded him. Then he
would charge the dog and whlrl In the
air, scattering the earth like an ex-
plodlng shell. Closer crowded the two
antagonists, In air half the time, each
bent on death, the dog frequently clear
Ing the boar mt a bound and madden
ing him with savage swapping and lac
erations of shoulders or. hams. over
and under went the dog with marvel
Gus agility; but every charge from the
dog brought still more savage cOun-
ter-charge from the boar.
For 40 feet In every direction the
forest ground looked like a freshly
plowed field, and II seemed to my
startled eyes as though n cyclone of
dog, boar. mud, bark and frOth had
descended into the darkening covert.
The dog and my guide Jose became ap-
parently n part Of the cyclone, though
no mortal eyes could have followed
their movements or their gymnastics. |

New Window Glass.

An English inventor has perfected a
new window glass to keep out cold in
winter and heat in summer. The new
glass Is based on the well-known prin-
ciple that any gas is poor conductor
of heat or cold. The ideal window glass
to resist heat or cold would be dou-
BILE pane, with vacuum between, as
in a thermos bottle. But the vacuum
makes the glass so easily breakable
that this is not practical. SO the in
ventor has designed a double pane,
with a space between the halves,
smoothly welded at all the edges. The
space within is pumped full of carbon
dloxide or some similar inert gas. If
the pressure of the gas within is equal
to the air pressure without the pane
Is no more breakable than an ordinary
one, and it resists the passage Of heat
or cold much longer.

New Estimates Of Old wri,.,s

New estimates of the writer's Of the
past generation are constantly being
made and If they were generally ac-
cepted good many people who liked
the works of these writer's would won
der how ii happened that their judg-
ment was so uniformly wrong. One
critic rules George Eliot out of the list
not only of the great, but of the near
great. Thackeray and Dickens are
spoken of with federation, but with
much questioning of their methods and
their real ability; Tennyson is set
aside as u second-rate poet by the new
school of verse makers, and 80 the
iconoclasm goes on. The latest vic
tim of attack is Flaubert. In the
North American Review Willard Hunt
ington Wright not only declines to re-
gard the author Of Madame Bovary"
as a transcendent genius, but refuses
to accord to him place in the front
rank of modern literary artists. He
admits that he Is a master of style,
but insists that style, however perfect,
Is not of chief artistic significance,
but is only Of secondary importance
when compared with the internal
architecture of art. This "poised in
ner structure" is n quality he fails to
find in any of Flaubert's work. 1t is
not quite clear what he means by this
internal architecture, but his critique
will be found of interest by readers of
Flaubert.

Smelling Art Ancient One.

In the old world the art of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 B. c..
1t has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from mete-
orites. Recently considerable amount
Of evidence in behalf of this hypoth-
esis has been presented by G. F. Zim-
mer. He has complied list of the
known irOn-containlng meteOrltes,
nearly all accumulated within the last
century, and he shows from these alone
about 250 tons of iron might be OBJ
tanned. OF this amount more than 80
per cent is malleable, consisting of a
nlclSel-iron alloy.

Over the Fence and Out.

AT the Gibson county fair at Prince

must be guarded to keep boys and
others from swarming over and in,

dent; you'll get to stay" s..
Long Boy did as hidden. II climbed

"What!" exclaimed that individual.
'"Then right out you CO."
He dragged the youth toward gate,

"I'm putting this hoOdlum out" ex-
planned the policeman; "he climbed

Washington. - Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, effec-

retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumer, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost Of his
coal in making retail prices.

Must Develop Hiaher Tendencies.

Every evil tendency in childhood
must finally be conquered, not by force
or punishment, but through the culti-
vation of a higher tendency. The good
man or woman is one whose life has
been slowly organized to act upon his
good impulses and to restrain his evil
ones. There is thief or robber In
us all, but fortunately for the major
ity of us, he has become too weak
through inactiOn to be able to do us
any harm.-Chicago American.

again, advertising helps the public.
The jobber or manufactures, shipping
in bigger quantities to the bigger buy

being at a smaller expense in various
ways, is glad to sell for less to the
business man who buys in big quantl-
ties.

There's Soma in Speech.

All speech, even the commonest
speech, has something Of the song in
it; not parish in the world but has
its parish accent-the ryhthm or tune
TO which the people sing what they
have to say. Accent is a kind Of
chanting; all men have accent of their
own, though they only notice that Of
others. Observe, too, how all passion
ate language does of Itself become
musical-with a finer music than mere
accent. The speech of man in zeal
GUS anger becomes a chant, a song.
