Settlers Were Compelled to Take Active Measures For Self Protection Exciting Drives and Desperate Battles How the Corral Was Made. The southern portion of the great San Joaquin valley was overrun in the early days by a species of wild horse known as the mustang, cr Mexican wild horse. They were to be seen in drovee, not in frequently numbering several hundred each. They were too small, "weedy" and generally worthless for the most part to be of any value to the settlers. On the contrary, they existed in such nnmbers as to constitute an annoyance and injury to the settlers engaged in agriculture. In a single night a band of wild horses would sweep down upon the cultivated fields and literally destroy the crops which it had taken months of bard labor to produce. The pioneers had ample cause to wage war upon these animals. They were undoubtedly a pest and source of danger much' to be dread . ed. Moreover, whenever a band of wild horses came down into tho settlements, they would lure away with them the domestic horses, leaving the "settlers helpless. These depredations were so frequent that, as a matter of self protection, the pioneer fanners and stockmen of these valleys were compelled to take active measures. They would inaugurate large hunting parties, or "drives," in -order the better and more ellectually to exter minate theso animals. The early methods used in this conn try in hunting the wild horse were pe culiar. When a hunt had been deter mined upon and a favorable locality se lected, the hunters would erect two lines of fence, starting them about four feet apart and continuing parallel for some distance, then diverging until the ter minals were several hundred yards apart. These fences were strong and high enough at the apex of the triangle to securely restrain tho wild horses from breaking them down when crowded into the inclosure. The fence completed, the hunters, all well mounted, would start out to locate a band of the troublesome mustangs. When tho objects of their search were sighted, the hunters grouped together, and tho order of the "drive" was decided upon. Ono of the party started out on tho trail of the band of wild horses, close enough to keep them constantly moving. This did not re quire as much exertion as might be sup posed, as the wild animals wonld dash off at full upeed. but would seldom con tinue any great distance in a straight line, usually turning and." Circling so that the "driver" could, . by "cutting the angles," keep the band moving without having to travel half tho flis tance coveied by the wild horses. In two hours or so the first "driver" would be relieved by a fresh man and horse, the whole party thus taking turna at keeping the wild horses on the move. The main object vras to eo fatigue the game as to wear out the animals, ren dering their capture comparatively easy. Thus hour after hour the wild horses' would have a tireless pursuer hanging on their trail. Turn which way they would, be their pace swift or slow, the solitary horseman ever followed them as faithfully as their shadows. Night brought them no rest, as the "drives" were made during the full of the moon. On the second day the drivers would be kept on duty for short intervals, so that they might press the now jaded wild animals. All of the pursuers would now assemble, and one after another turn the flight of the wild animals until they would have them running in a cir cle, the pursuers taking stations at reg ular distances. Then began tho final "roundup." One man would dash aft er the band and chase them to his near est companion in that direction, when that man would drivo them as rapidly as possible to the next, and so on around' the circle, each driver having a shorter and still shorter distance to rid, until the band had completed the entire cir cle. Steadily the circles were lessened, and the borses were worked toward the open space between the outer lines of the corral. If there were any choice animals in the band and any one desired to capture them, this would be his opportunity. It was the most interesting period of the drive. The striking, kicking, rearing, plunging, squealing and biting of the wild horse when first lassoed are de scribed by these who have witnessed such scenes as most exciting. After one la9so had been successfully cast a sec ond is thrown about tho neck of theani- mal, and tho lassos were then drawn in opposite directions, holding the strug gling captive securely between its two captors. By this means it would be finally forced into submission. This work completed, the band would be rapidly forced into the inclosure, the drivers closing up the rear and urging the wearied animals into the corral un til they were crowded compactly to gether, with no hope of escape except through the narrow lane, where certain death awaited them. Men armed with strong spears stood on each side of this narrow opening, and as the animals were crowded through it received its coup de grace. The conditions of the country have changed vastly. The antelope and the elk have gone, the wild cattle have been forced into tho mountains, and only a few of them remain even there. This is also trje of the wild horse. The wild horse, however, is not as yet wholly ex tinct in California. Those now found in this state are, so far as I have been . able to learn, confined to the regions of Mount Whitney and Mount William son. San Francisco Chronicle.

The French law treats the frog as if it were a fish and declares all fishing for it by night to be poaching. "THEM WAS HIS SENTIMENTS." And the Old Unreconstructed Confederate Took Pains to Make Them Known. Very many of the early settlers of, Montana were natives of Missouri, Ken tucky, Arkansas and the border states of the war. They came by the Missouri river to Fort Benton or by coach from Omaha and for many years were in the majority at elections, when they held the flag of Democracy to the masthead. The result of this immigration was a strong sentiment for the confederacy in the early days, and in 1873, when Gen eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an official visit . to the northwestern posts, the sentiment had not disappeared. Helena, Mon., was juBt emerging from the garb of a mining camp, but a few enterprising citizens with ex-Governor Hauser at the bead determined to give a fitting reception to the visitors. A delegation met Sheridan and his party in a stagecoach several miles from the town and escorted them to the leading hotel. On the following afternoon a banquet was given in the First National bank, located then in the present gam bling district. The menu consisted mostly of canned goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game, because the town was remote from civ ilization. There was, however, plenty of champagne, since that wine is usu ally found in mining camps even when nothing in the way of food is left but flour. The gathering was very demo cratic. . Everybody in town was invited to see "Little Phil," though there was much grumbling among the unrecon structed Confederates over the. display made for a Union. general. 'There. were lawyers and mining camp politicians mingled with gamblers, miners and ex road agents, many of whom wore six shooters at their belts. Among .them was-one old time Con federate -soldier, who had turned his talents from the chivalry of war to dealing "bank.'" jHe was restless and uncomfortable during the feast and when the toasts began this restlessness increased. His face darkened and his eyes flamed with an ger as various toasts were given to the United States, the president of the United States and the army of the United States. Finally be could stand it no longer. He arose with a wineglass in one hand and a six shooter in the other, and in a voice hoarse with rage shouted : "Here's to all mankind, so that no d d fool will be overlooked." With that he dashed the wineglass on the floor and emptied the six shooter into tho ceiling so that the room was filled with smoke. The guests reached for their revolvers, but the gambler, with a look of contempt, returned' his "gun" to his pocket and walked out. General Sheridan afterward said that it was one of the most dramatic and suggestive scenes in all his experience. New York Sun. Tlie Man Who Tired Carlyle. There is a story of Carlyle in his old age having taken the following fare well in his broadest Scotch of a young friend who had had him in charge for walks, and who while almost always adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had on a single occasion ventured to dis agree with him, "I would have you to know, young man, that you have the capacity of being the greatest bore in Christendom." The boredom had con sisted solely in the rather negative sin of not having been convinced of tho truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin all the more heinous because, instead of standing boldly up to Carlyle and de claring his doctrine ntterly perverse, the companion had betrayed his weak ness by an apologetic tone. Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and fto respected antagonists, but be could not endure being merely thwarted without being thoroughly roused. He felt in that case that he had made no impres sion at all on his interlocutor; that he had neither won him nor excited him to resistance. And nothing bored him so much as that. Of course it is only exceptionally despotic minds that are bored in this way. London Spectator. A Clever Girl's Trick. Sonfe of the enormous bunches of vio lets on the corsage of the Lenten girl will bear studying. : She has learned a trick or two which preserve - appear ances and shillings at the same time. The artificial violets -are a wonderful imitation pf the real onesv It takes more than a passing glance to detect the difference between them ; -but, as made moiselle well knows, there is no counter feiting the fresh delicate perfume of the real flower. So the clever creature buys every day a 10 cent bunch of nature's production, which she judiciously in- tersperses through a large cluster of the handiwork of art. The little leaven of fragrahce is sufficient, and by this sim ple and ingenious means is secured a maximum of effect at a minimum of ex penditure. Her Point of View in New York Times.' An International Women's Congress. The Hon. Ettore Socci, a member of the Italian parliament, through the pages of The Humanitarian asks if it would not be possible to hold an interna tional women's congress in Borne in 1895 in order to give prominence to the women's movement, which is spreading its ramifications throughout the world. He is an ardent advocate of the move ment. The emancipation and higher education of women, he declares, would not destroy in her the feeling of wife and mother, and still less would it un-' dermine family life. Plucky Mrs. Bishop. Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, the dis tinguished traveler who has started upon another journey, although ' she is now 60 years old, is at present crossing this country on her way to Vancouver, whence she is to sail for Japan.

Tyndall's Imagination. This instructive imagination for we are not concerned with mere reminis cent imagination here resulting in the creations of the poet and there in the dis coveries of the man of science, is the highest of human faculties. With this faculty Professor Tyndall was largely endowed. In common with successful investigators iageoernl, be displayed it in forming true conceptions of physical processes previously misinterpreted or uninterpreted, and again in conceiving modes by which the actual relations of , the phenomena could be demonstrated, j and again in devising fit appliances to ! this end. But to a much greater extent than usual he -displayed constructive : imagination in other fields. He was an excellent expositor, and good exposition implies much construct ive imagination. A prerequisite is the forming of true ideas of the mental states of those who are to be taught, and a further prerequisite is the imagin ing of methods by which, beginning with conceptions they possess, there may be built up in their minds the con ceptions they do not possess. Of con structive imagination as displayed in this sphere men at large . appear to be almost devoid, as witness the absurd systems of teaching which in past times, and in large measure at .present, have stupefied and still stupefy- children by presenting abstract ideas before they have -any concrete ideas .from which then? ign lio dpnnrn Wt-iotlijav1 na lo- r or wrjt professor Tynda1 care. fully .avoided '"this vicious practice. ' Herbert zine. Spencer in McClure's Maga- Smokeless Fireplaces. Next to tho man who invented or dis covered fire, tho greatest benefactor of the human race will be the man who abolishes smoke. Nothing else will so I change the conditions of life in our great cities. Without saying that this 1 result is already at hand, a great step to ward it is mado by tho new invention in fireplaces. By this system a fire can undoubtedly bo produced without smoke, and though at present a special fireplace must be employed for .the pur pose there is no reason why every one who henceforth fits up a kitchen range or a furnace should not have a smoke leas one. I expect to see the time when every householder as well as every man ufacturer will be compelled. to consume his own smoke. In" the meantime, how ever, there i3 the strongest inducement, short of compulsion, for doing so, for tho system, like all which are based on perfecting the combustion of the fuel, gives a largely increased heat for a re duced consumption of coal.

I doubt whether in this particular we differ from our Greek predecessors, for we read of choice pres ents, such as peacocks, given by Phidias to his models, showing how much he valued them, presumably because it was as difficult then as now to get good ones. ' To-be a model is a business of itself, and when we remember the number of art schools there are. even in London alone, and the many artists who are en tirely dependent upon them, it may be realized what a large body they must be. The men are mostly Italians, chiefly, rl am told, from the neighborhood of 'Naples, The women are, as a rule, Eng lish and have often sat from babies". To ' find a well formed foot is almost, an im possibility among the best of them, ow ing to the long cramping in boots, but a friend once told me that he had a cast of the foot of an Indian woman that -was as beautiful as the foot of a Greek statue. . Our .-English models lack often the suppleness of .figyre that distinguishes more southern races, such as the Italian, which is partly accounted for by the heavy, cumbersome clothes cur climate necessitates. But such as they are we have to make the best of them, and a really good one is eagerly sought after. -Good Words. A New Kind of Insurance. Agent Ah, good morning, Mr. Talk-ed-to-death. I've called to see yoa about insuring you in my company. I want to v Mr. Talked-to-deatb Oh, go awayt I don't want any insurance. I'm al ready "But, sir, you don't understand. This" "No, I tell you! I've been nearly talked into my grave by insurance agents, and" . . "Aha, now we're talking business! That's just why you ought to take a pol icy in my company." "What is your company?" "Why, it insures you against being talked to death by insurance agents!" Boston Traveller. The Canon Smokes Cigarettes. . Those who delight in discovering in consistencies in' personal conduct are pointing out that Canon Wilberforce, i the new canon of Westminster, is an in veterate cigarette smoker, says a Lon don correspondent. He has for years waged a fierce crusade against intem perance, the opium ' trade and viviseo- tion. The Man In the Moon. According to Pratorius, the man in the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry ing the bundle of sticks whicfi were to be lighted to sacrifice his own body on -the mountain top. Dante believes him to be Cain, carryings bundle of thorns, the meanest offering'his lands afforded, as a present to God. In Iceland the peo pre claim that they can see the face of Adam in the moon and that of Eve in , the sun. Among the Frieburgers there is a superstition which says that the j marRs and spots on the moon's face are the outlines of the traitor, Judas Iscar iot, holding his hand over his face while sneezing just prior to hanging himself. This last belief accords with the old Frankish legend, which says that there was no spot on Luna's bright face until after the time of the crucifixion of Christ. Still another story tells us that in the time of the creation God threw an offending angel against the face of the moon, while another is to the effect that the moon witnessed tbe creation of Adam and Eve and took an impress of their features on his surface, intending to people hid own land with similar be ings. .When he essayed to imitate God's works, be made nothing but a slimy ser pent, which since that day has contin ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils in full view of tho descendants of the God created beings. St. Louis Repub lic. An Angry Executioner. Deibler, the French executioner, is said to be the angriest man in' Paris. A prisoner in the Boquette jail, under sen tence of death, committed suicide after M. de Paris had specially sharpened the knife for his No. 17 neck. Then the executioner is much disappointed be cause he has not received the ribbon of the Legion of Honor in common with all others who have distinguished them selves in the suppression of anarchists. He argues that he risks his life more than the man who drives the bomb wagon, who. has, been decorated. Paris Letter. A Late Fad of Royalty. 'The latest fad among the ladies of the English royal family, including, it is said, the queen herself, is to beguile the winter hours by plaiting straw for the fabrication of hats to be presented to their sons and husbands at the approach ing season.
