lens teed by Indian Tribes and
While Hunters.
First amour the trail signs that are
used by Indians anrl white hunters
and most likely to be of use to the
traveler, nays a writer in Country Life
In America, are ax blazes on tree
trunks. These may vary greatly with
locality, but there ia one everywhere In
uho with scarcely any variation. This
Is simply the white spot nicked oft by
knlfo or ax and meaning, "Here ia the
trail."
The OJIbways and other woodland
tribes use twigs for a great many
nlgim. The hanging broken twig, like
the simple blaze, means, "Thla la the
trail." The twig clean broken off and
laid on the ground across the Hoe
of march means, "Break from your
straight course and go in the line of the
butt end," and when an especial warn
ing In meant the butt la pointed toward
the one following the trail and raised
somewhat In a forked twig. If the butt
of the twig were raised and pointing to
the left It would mean, "Look out,
camp," or "Ourselves or the enemy or
the game we have killed ia out that
way."
The old buffalo banters bad an estab
lished signal that Is yet used by moun
tain guides. It la as follows:
Two ahota In rapid succession, an in
terval of five seconds by tha watch,
then one shot, means, "Where are yon?"
The answer, given at once and exactly
the same, means: "Here I am. What
do yon want?" The reply to this may
be one shot, which means, "AJl right; I
only wanted to know where you were."
But If the reply repeats the first It
means: "I am In serious trouble. Come
as fast as you can."

He Can't Growl and Wig His Tail m.

"Th're Is one peculiar thing about
doRs." remarked a well known local
fancier and huntsman, and that la jon
never aaw one pnnt and wag bis tall
at the. same timt. A dog Is not capa
lib; of a double emotion. He can't
growl and wag his tall at the same
time, for It la Impossible for him to
he mm! at one end and glad at the
oilier.
'If a dog U glad to see bla master
lie will hark and wag bis tall. If he
vants to got Into the bouse be will
pnw at the tioor, wnine ana wag nis
tall, but they ore nil symptoms of one
and the same emotion. But If his mas
ter opens the door he will cease to
show anxiety Immediately by whining
and will show pleasure only by the
wngglng of bla tall.
"In order to get a man's temper one
must watch his eyes, but for a dog's
rou have to watch his tall. The dog Is
likewise Incapable of deceit, and henoe
he Is nothing of n politician. He de
ceives no one, not even his master. If
he Is overjoyed every emotion Is In
dicative of that fact, and his whole
makeup gives ample testimony to It
If he Is displeased or angered It Is the
same way." Houston Poat
Job a McCalloiili Made Chair B
for Ha Became aa Actor.
Of the thousands who admired the
acting of John McCullongh few were
aware that at sixteen be could read,
but could not write, and that at eight
een he knew absolutely nothing of lit
erature, perhaps not even the name
of the great poet of Avon, whose In
terpreter be afterward became.
In after life McCullough used to
speak gratefully of an old cbairmaker,
under whom be worked, for teaching
him two things "chalrmaking and
Shakespeare." In his periods of con
viviality the old cbairmaker was ac
customed to spout Shakespeare to
young McCullough, giving a somewhat
Imperfect Imitation of Forrest's acting.
It was this that turned McCullongh'i
thought from chalrmaking to the stage.
Yet In all his after years McCullough
was proudest of his early craft. On
one occasion, at the height of his popu
larity, he was the guest of a wealthy
Phlladelphlan. In the midst of the
talk after dinner the tragedian glanced
at a chair In the room, went over to It
and, turning It bottom up, said to his
amazed host:
"I thought so! That s one of my
chairs!"
And he seemed prouder of the fact
that the chair had lasted so long, be
cause It was so well made, than be was
of his histrionic success. Saturday

Stray Stories.
Cliloml Red Tan.
Several tins of paint were found
among the luggage of an Englishman
who was traveling to Monaco. He
was in charge of a racing craft and
Intended to use the pigment to touch
up the vessel after Its long railway
journey. The French customs officials,
however, took exception to the paint on
the ground that It contained dutiable
spirit, whereupon the traveler argued
that he Intended bringing it back on
leaving the country. Asked how he
was going to bring It back, he replied,
"On the sides of the boat" Even this
plea did not suffice, the authorities ar
guing that the spirit would have evap
orated.
The Great Assam Earthquake.
After the great Assam earthquake
which occurred on June 12, 1897, the
earth tremor went on continuously for
several days. It was estimated that
there were 200 shocks a day for a few
days after June 12, and, thongh these
had diminished to twenty or thirty a
day by the middle of July, the people
were accustomed for at least two years
after the earthquake to a daily shock.
These after shocks were the residual
effects of the first big disturbance and
had nothing dangerous In their charac
ter.
Left the World.
The beautiful Mme. X. waa greatly

husband returned to the wife of his
bosom in the best of spirits. He had
been up In a balloon.
