THE BULL MOOSE.
Mow the Hunter Lures the Noble Game to
Death In MalneTorAtn.
The time to call the bull moose Is
from the middle of September to the
middle of October and sometimes later.
It is the habit of tho female at that
time of the vear to seek open spaces on
the hills at sundown and givo voice to
mniiniv but fur-sounding cry. This
is the signal to tho male, and the call
is not often repeated before some
h Am hi i nr bull is heard crashing
through the brush, his long split hoofs
rattling at every step, on its way to
tho redezvous. This peculiar cry the
learned to imitate
with greater or less degreo of exact
ness, and made it an agent for luring
their game into ambush. The call is
made by means of a horn rolled out of
birch bark, to mouth whicn poriocuy
requires long and constant practice,
Tho hunter, when an adept at sound
tug the moose love-song, simply hides
himself at a favorable spot in me wil
derness, with his gun in readiness, ami
lows his horn. As he hears the ouu
atmroaehin'?. srenerauv pausuia
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and oet his bearings, the caller needs
all his ncrvo and an unfailing lip. I he
call must be tempered to the approach
of the bull, and one false noto is never
lost on that wary lovot-'a true
and cultivated ear. No cow
moose ever slurred a note or
sung too flat or too sharp floating
her amatory invitation to her mate on
tho crisn air of an autumn evening,
and the slightest variation either way
bi the sound will send the expectant
l.-ute flvintr like the wind away from
the treacherous trysting-place disap
pointed, perhaps, but not as much so as
tho hunter whose false lip lost him his
coveted nrize,
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional Instances being
on IHit moonlight nights. Conse
quently hunters seldom try to lure a
bull bv call tiff after nigni nas como
or.. If a bull can be induced to ans-
u n,nnniitrit mil. however. theeX'
ciPn.nt of "the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncannv in the sound of the start
ing call echoing among the hills, their
tops flooded in light and their side
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering bellow of
the bull as it comes out from the very
depths of tbe shadow. As the huge
animal approaches from the wilder
ness, and finally emerges into the
moonlit ojx-n, the nines even of tho
moot experienced hunter are strung at
tite severest tension, while to the nov
iee the suspense is bimpiy ayouy. X

The beet follows usually wheat or

increases the crop, but also at tho

to stop the growth of the beets, at least
for the season. Uiiriijg tho winter time
the land remains in "rough furrow,"
and iu spring the harrow is used and

the land. If there are many weeds on
tho land, it is necessary to cultivate or
to plow. Tho principal thing is to
keep tho moisture in the ground, and
the beet-raiser haa to pay lus lust at

The beet has to be cultivated as soon
is possible, or otherwise it is over
grown with weeds. The first hoeing
will bo given as soon as the rows are
visible. Where human labor is cheap
it is preferable; if wot so.othe cultivator

HUMOR IN HISTORY.
Bill Writ About Naulm and Its
I.aironl Vineyard.
Naples Is a pretty good town to stand
off and look at from tho bay. It Is
located on tho brow of a hill, extend
ing from the Costello del Oro to the
top of tho CaNdimnute, and, ranged
around the semi-circular hills as it is,
it reminds me forcibly of Totupkins-
ville, Staten Island.
The newer streets of Naples are quite
pretty and extend several miles , out
beyond the town, liko those of Fargo,
Dak., whilo sidewalks several hundred
miles in extent were built at the ex
pense of tho county. In this way Fir
go had sidewalks that extended for
miles In every direction through the
nulghboring farms, and tho county
paid for them. Fargo has been striv
ing ever since to live up to her side
walks. Aside from this there is little
similarity between Naples and Fargo.
The old streets of Naples are narrow
and crooked, and the houses are so
high that a ripe pomegranate dropped
from the roof on the plug hat of a
passing tourist is permanently Im
paired and the hat prostrated.
Neapolitan people formerly used the
Toledo, a street now called the Roma,
for a kitchen, dressing-room, bath
room, front halt and storm-door. Here

dressed their children, washed, ironed.

BOOKS OF ASSYRIA.
Vhat In TnM br thf flajf Tablet Foonil
In Kuinad Kaatvra t itle.
Jty a great good fort line a large part
..f one of the finest and largest of the
libraries of ancient time has been re-
overed. It was collected in the very
height of the power of Assyria by t
King who reined from Media to t.gypt.
the great Assurbaniiml. the Simian a-
palus of the Cireeks. This King, whose
rule extended from 607 to 6".'5 B. C.
was no such effeminate monarch as is
lescribed by tho Creek historian, but
was & successful warrior ana a very
Xliecenas of letters. His grand library,
unlike Egypt Creece and Rome, has
been preserved, because the books wery
written, not on parchment or papyrus,
but on clay. All organic texture pcr-
sh. but a bit of earthenware is as
nearly imper'shable as any thing man
can make. The Assyrians wrote their
books on tablets of soft clay. It was
molded Into tho shape of a cushion or
pillow, which, for small business docu
ments, would lie from little more than
mi inch square to about threo inches
bv two. or even a little larger. But
for large documents books of litera
ture or science much larger tablets
were used and divided Into a sueces-
lion of columns on two sides. The
writing was done with a stylus, which
was not cut to a point, but was cut
quaro, liko the end of a pocket rule.
With such a square corner it is east,
upon a pot of clay or on a bit of blot
ting paper, to imitate the peculiar
wedges of the (-uniform writing. Tho
i-lay tablet having been carefullyjn
criled, it w?is tired, and produced a
light -colored and permanent terra-c-otta.
Ordinary contract tablets were
not necessarily burned, but were simply
un-drieif. Thousands of these busi
ness tablets have been unearthed in
Babylon, and vicinity, all accurately
dated and invaluable fo chronology.
Every chief Babylonian city has its
library, and Assurbanipal seat his
scribes to all of these, or lad copies
made for his library in Nineveh of
their prineiiftl works. Ho took a pride
