I'sixt t.'t'iitnry.
Out iii the region of the St. Clair flats,
near Detroit, lici a peculiar triliu
known in general as the mushrnl,
French. No whore else in the United
States is there n community Mich ns
this in language and customs. Despite
Die fnct that their ancestors have lived
there for a century and a hnlf, says the
New York Sun, they speak English that
ih barely intelligible to the average citi
:-en, while their French, it is said, is to
tally beyond the ken of u Parisinn. In
one respect they are particularly nota
ble that is in their ability as story
tellers. I lie Dctroitcrs understand
them, and the mushrat Fjcnch know
it, so that as raconteurs they are not ut
their best before them, but let them get
hold of a guilelcbs easterner and they
will (ill him full of the most marvelous
tales of hunting and iishingndventures
that ever came from the mouth of man.
As n means of earning money they
hunt, and fish, selling their prey to the
nmrkets. Their own staple food ar
ticle is the musk-rat, called "mushrat."
which abound out there; hence their
name, mushrat French. Against all
ridicule they will maintain that no
beast, bird or fish is more delicate, sus
taining and healthful than this animal.
"Take coin fat," said one of them ton
New Yorker, who spent part of his a
cntion on the flats, "take eem fat, stofi"
cem up with airb (herbs) an speece
(spice), put eem on fire an' roast eem,
un' sh! what will you? lie is pairfect.
You shall not tll eem from duck. Cen
tillium of New York come 'ere to eat
duck. We give eem mushrat cook
comme il fait. He say: 'Ah, heaven!
Ah, Cod! Neva ire have I eat such n
duck!' He thought it was a duck, that
mushrat."
IN DEADLY COMBAT.
Wnpltl anil the Ki'tl Deer In Central Park
I'lKlit ii Duel.
War was proclaimed in Central park.
The wapiti and the red deer bucks were
spoiling for a fight. It is a way they
have at this, season of t lie year, says tho
New York Ueeordcr, and in the forests
many a duel to the death is fought, with
no seconds standing by, and with no
human or other appreeiativeeyeto wit
ness'thu valor displayed.
For the past few days the wapiti and
the biggest of the red deer bucks have
glared at each other across the barbed
wire fence w hieh separates them. Then
they began charging at each other, and
their antlers came together with many
a resounding crash. After much ma
neuvering Keeper Snyder got a rope
over the horns of Mr. Wapiti, but the
buck did not mind it in the least. Tan
a do.en keepers got hold of the lariat,
and with great difficulty forced the
wapiti away front his panting rival, and
lie was put into a paddock- where there
were only young fellow bucks whose
antlers had scarcely begun to sprout
and w hoiu, of course, lie w ould not con
descend to attack.
The blood of the led stag, however,
seemed boiling, and having no longer a
foeinan worthy of his horns he chased
and prodded the poor ladies of his
harem. The keepers, at the risk of
their lives, sawed off his antlers and
his martial spirit seems to be knocked
out of hint forever.

An apleulturist has commenced train

After n few preliminary trials, he says,
he took a hive of them to the house of
a friend four miles distant. After some
t'ays, when tho bees had become fa
miliar with their new surroundings,
some of them were liberated in a room,
where they soon settled on a plate of
honey which had been specially pro
pai ed for t hem. While t hey were busy
eating it their trainer placed on their
backa the tiniest of dispatches, fastened
with the thluuest of thread, mid so ar
ranged them us to leave the head and
wings absolutely free. They wero then
