DANGEROUS (IAME.
The Vindictive Peccary aad Some
of Its Queer Traits.
The Hunters Who Know Anything About
This StraiiRO Anioinl Select tlie
Branches of i. Tree as ft
Point of Vantilfre.
"I haven't tho loast iiU-a in the world
that you ever huntotl a peccary, did
you?" asked a spurtt-mau wlio affects a
knowledge of and delight in large and
ont-of-the-commoti kinds oi game, says
the New York Sun. "Of course you
never (lid, and unless you have a cart
load of nerve ami ammunition enough
to stock a garrison 1 wouldn't advise
you to. Tho peccary, :ik you doubtless
know, is a little animal somewhat on
the wild hog order, and he roams pret
ty much where he pleases in southern
Texas and abutting regions. There was
a time when it was thought that noth
ing would kill a peccary but arrows in
oculated with the deadly poison of the
bloated rattlesnake of the Staked
Plains, which the Apache Indians have
a cheerful way of distilling and apply
ing, but that was before the days of
Winchester rifles. A bullet from a
Winchester is just searching enough to
find a peccary's vitals, but the range
doesn't want to be too long.
"When a man goes out hunting pec
caries he doesn't trip lightly through
the forest, steal upon his unsuspecting
game and. bring it down with his trusty
rifle. Not when he hunts peccaries, he
doesn't. If he did, nineteen seconds after
he fired his first shot he would be ap
portioned out among the drove in two
ounce lots, buttons, boots and baggage
counted in. The daring peccary hunter
shins up a tall tree near where the
cheerful creatures will more than likely
come to feed. The peccary has one
great virtue. lie can't climb a tree.
Perched safely on a limb the bald hunts
man waits for the coming of the pecca
ries, and when the drove comes trotting
and grunting along beneath him he
sends a bullet through a peccary's
heart. The wounded peccary lies down
at once, lie knows just what's the
matter. lie turns his glittering beail of
an eye up toward the hunter and dies
without uttering a sound.
"One peccary killed out of a drove,
the hunter must either have ammuni
tion enough to kill all the rest or pro
visions enough to last him a year, for
tho survivors at once take positions
around and about the tree and sit there
on their haunches waiting for the hunt
er to come down. If hate, in the fullest
sense of the word, can be expressed by
looks, -t.aen-.the peeeary can look and act.
it toward any living thing that has
done it or its companion an injury. The
peccaries were the original knights of
labor, for their motto has been from the
beginning: 'An injury to one is the con
cern of all.' They never let up when
they start out to avenge an injury.
The hunter may shoot one after
another of the waiting and watching
drove, .anil each one, as it receives its
death wound, lies down without a mur
mur and (lies, never removing its glar
ing eyes from its slayer as long as life
lasts. The living peccaries pay no at
tention to the dead or dying, but sit
there on their haunches, Imping for re
venge until the last one dies. As a drove
of peccaries will in ten seconds tear a
grizzly bear into such minute fragments
that you can scarcely find a piece of
bone two inches long after the cere
mony is over, you can imagine what
show a hunter would have in meeting a
hostile group of them. Hut unmolested
a drove of peccaries is as harmless as a
drove of sheep, except toward bears or
mountain lions. Yon may pass
within ten feet of a drove of
these vindictive little animals, and
they will not notice you with
any hostile intent unless you are fool
ish enough to commit some overt act.
Then your friends will wonder all their
lives whatever could have become of
you. The peccary, for some reason,
draws the line at bears and mountain
lions. If y ni are looking for cither of
the latter and find peccaries, change
your base. You will find neither griz
zly, silver tip, brown or black bears,
nor mountain lions within miles of any
range where peccaries are feeding.
When it comes to being the. king of
American beasts the peccary holds the
scepter.
"The peccary I mean the white
tipped peccary, the only one that trav
els in droves, the other one, the col
lared peccary, being shy and harmless
and going only in pairs is odd in every
way. Physically, as well as morally,
be seems to be an abnormal sort of
creature. He has the general appear
ance and habit of the hog, but the hoofs
and three stoma'.'hs of the cow. On his
baek he has a gland which secretes a
musk, and tiiree minutes af ter a peccary
is killed its flesh will be entirely im
pregnated with the secretion. Just
what this composite construction of the
peccary is for a reminiscence of the
hog, the cow and the muskrat no one
seems to have discovered as yet. liut
one thing is certain, the peccary is
tough and absolutely without fear."
The Kii(,-llh Army.
It grows harder every year to get re
cruits for the British army, chiefly he
cause army lifehns not improved will
the advance of the nation. Wa;'cs havi
risen intil the average is three or foiu
times that of a private's pay, and so a
little intrigue has to be used. An ordei
has been issued requiring all boys kIk
apply for the place of telegraph mes
senger to agree to join the army at tin
expiration of their term in the messen
ger service. An English paper calls at
tention to the immense importation o
boys in the ranks of the army, and thi
increasing difficulty of obtaining re
cruits owing to the smallness of tin
pay, the poor chances of promotion fo:
those without influential friends, am
the chilling manner in whi.di the sol
diers are treated where they ought U
be welcome.

ORIGIN Or THE WOriD "CANARD. '
First Vsed In foiiLicclinn with a Newspa
per Hoax u 4 enlnry Apo.
You often declare that some floating
piece of intelligence is a "canard" with
out hardly knowing why such a word
should be applied to an unfounded story.
The word itself is the French for
"duck," and was first used in its pres
ent sense in the latter part of the eight
eenth century, having its origin in a
gigantic hoax. About that time French,
German aul English papers were strain
ing every nerve to see which could pub
lish the most sensational items. Their
writers ransacked the earth, "the sky
above the earth and theeaverns beneath
the surface" for material on which to
found extraordinary stories. At last
Cornelison, one of the Paris competitors,
stated that an interesting experiment
had just been carried out in that city
which proved the extraordinary voraci
ty of ducks (canards). Twenty of these
fowls had been placed together one
morning, and at an appointed hour one
of the number was killed, cut into small
bits, feathers and all, and fed to the
other nineteen. Fifteen minutes later
No. 1U was hashed and served to the re
maining eighteen in the same manner.
The experiment was commenced at sev
en o'clock in the morning, the experi
menters regularly "hashing" a duck
every fifteen minutes, and at a quarter
to twelve (noon) there was but one
duck remaining in the pen, and he of
course was placed in theposUionof luiv
ing eaten his nineteen companions.
This story, pleasantly narrated, ob
tained a success which tho writer had
never even anticipated. Jtefore the end
of the year it had rim the rounds of all
the prominent journals of Furope, and
according to the St. Louis Republic had
even been translated into Indian, Chi
nese, Japanese and other oriental lan
guages. When it had been all but for
gotten the. American papers took it up
andgave it many ampiilications, includ
ing a certificate of the autopsy of the
last surviving duck, which was declared
to have swollen out of all proportions
and to have had his oesophagus badly
injured. For many years afterward the
story of the "twenty canards" was a
common laughing stock, and the word
itself has ever since retained its novel
significance
WOMAN'S FATAL CURIOSITY.
It Led Her to I'se l!:ilr Dye for Perfum
ery, with Mad lleiiults.
Two ladies called at the house of a
well-known New York physician one
day recently. While one of them was
consulting the physician in his private
room, the other, prompted by curiosity
or some kindred impulse, proceeded to
investigate tlie contents of a large case
of bottles, jars, etc., in the outer-apartment.
Between the two apartments was a
glass door, over which was a paper
shade, which, however, was torn across
one corner, so that it was possible to
see from one room into the other.
Hearing a rattling among his bottles
the physician stepped to the glass door
and looked through to see what was go
ing on. lie discovered tho lady in the
act of taking down one bottle after an
other and smelling the contents thereof.
At length she got hold of something
which evidently pleased her. She smelt
again and again, and each time it was
apparent that she was more pleased
than before. She then poured some of
the liquid into her hand and smelled it
again.
This time her entire satisfaction with
the result of her investigations was evi
dent, and she hastily rubbed the liquid
upon her nose and portions of her face
contiguous thereto, replaced the bottle,
and took her scat as she heard a rust
ling in the inner room, indicating that
the consultation was at an end, and
the consulting parties were returning.
The physician, knowing what the re
sult would be, detained the ladies in
conversation for several moments. Ue
fore the end of that time, as the lady
sat near a warm stove, her nose and por
tions of her face began to turn a deep
olive color, and before she departed
they had assumed a beautiful dark
browiL
She had mistaken the doctor's favor
ite hair dye for perfumery.
She will be an invalid, and will not
receive calls for a week to mime.
CANNIBALISM IN INDIA.
Some of the Jungle 'J'rlheM Still Addicted
to Kitting i:ueh Otlter.
Among the practices which tin- llrit
ish have tried hard to do away with is
that of cannibalism, which is indulged
in to this day by some jungle tribes.
One of them, the Kookes, living like
monkeys in huts built in tiie tops of
trees in forests one hundred and fifty
miles from Calcutta, was until recently
notorious for ant hropophnf.' v. Ihit tho
most horrible huuino ; ':( rili- e.rre of
fered by the K nonds ol' 0,-is:,:i. to their
earth goddess for the p:i;'ji.se of secur
ing good harvests. '1 ;:ey bought their
victims from prof ssional kidnapers,
who captured them whenever they
could. Each village kept its stock of
victims alwayson hand, the hitt'-r being
well fed and reven need as sacred until
the time for saerili'-e arrived, when they
were cut into small piece-, wilh knives,
greal care being 1al.cn to avoid lolling
each unfortunate for a , long as possihle.
The pieces of flesh were buried in the

LAWYERS IN SINU SINU.
One of Them Ts Vi-epai-lntr a ISrlef on
Jutlf of Another l'rlsoner.
Sing Sing has five lawyers among its
tenants. They were all sent there re
cently, and their connections with the
outside world have not boon broken off
so completely as in the case of convict
who have served many years of a long
term. One of these lawyers haB not
only not cut off connection with
the world outside but he spends his
spare time in the prison in reading
more law and in working at law papers,
lie does not get fees for tho services in
money, but it is a pleasure for him to
work at his profession rather than to
lit around and think idly during tho
moments when he is not doing the tasks
imposed upon him by the prison otli
:ials. The New York Sun thinks highly
Df the reputation and ability for shrewd
ness that this lawyer has that not only
has he prepared his own ease on appeal
ind prepared the cases of other prison
ers, but lawyers m New York who
know him from time to time ask him to
ret up bills of exceptions in cases on
uppeal for them.
This interesting convict is Abraham
Suydam. He is serving a five-year sen
tence for grand larceny on J uly II!, 1S89.
His experience shows some of the do
fects of the criminal laws of the state,
though, as ho said, it, is not so much the
depriving him of his liberty as that it
jrieves him as a lawyer to seo anyone
jommitted to Sing Sing with such a
lisregard of the niceties of the criminal
law as was shown in his case. Although
he was convicted in November, IHS',1, he
was not sent to Sing Sing until .May IU,
1SU1. The interval he spout in the
tombs and ilid a fairly large law busi
ness there, advising other prisoners and
consulting about their cases. In Sing
Sing he is looked on as a great au
thority on criminal law, and he is pre
paring a brief for James K. Bedell, an
other lawyer, who is serving a sentence
of twenty-five years for forgery, and is
crushed by it, wdiile Suydam is bright,
chipper and intellectually active.- Both
he and iledell are at work on the books
of the prison, the highest class of em
ployment there. They are well liked by
the oilieials, as they cause no trouble.
DEFENSE OF THE PEACOCK.
It In Not True, n Said, Tied Ills Feet Ar.
IJlily How lie Courts,
"Who says the peacock has ugly
feet?" remarked Taxidermist Wood, ol
the Smithsonian institution, to a Wash
ington Star reporter. "I have heard
and read that piece of nonsense ever
since I was a child, and I understand
that it is recorded as an ornithological
truth in classic (Ireek and Latin. You
will come across mention of it even in
fable;;. To my mind it uiTords an illus
tration of the fact that most people
never use their own physical senses ac
tively, but. depend for their notions of
life and things upon the observations of
others.
"I have just finished mounting this
pair of peacocks. Isn't the male bird a
beauty? You can seo for yourself that
his feet are decidedly pretty, well
shaped and rather small in proportion
to his size. They are very slightly big
ger than those of a turkey and are de
cidedly handsomer. The same can be
said of the hen bird, unattract ive though
the latter is as to other points.
Wherever in the feathered kingdom the
cock bird is the handsomer he docs the
courting, while in the comparatively
unusual case where the female is more
gorgeous she it is that takes the initia
tive in the love-making.
"It is a curious thing to observe that
the male peacock in courting his chosen
mate approaches her not with the
brightly colored face of his feathery fan
toward her, but backward. Then, on
coming close, he wheels suddenly about,
with every plume trembling in the sun
light, and dazzles her all at once with
his beauty. As for tin; popular miscon
ception respecting bis feet, there can be
no doubt as to how it originated. When
the peacock is pointed at, being natur
ally a wild bird, he is apt to drop his
fan and scuttle away. Thus the im
pression was conveyed to the ignorant
that he imagined bis feet to be objects
of attention and accordingly sought tc
hide them. Of course, nothing could ba
more absurd."

REDEEMING BANK NOTES.
Many Ctirintm Annciloten of Their I'artlul
ittMtru;tioii Aro on Keeorci.
Many an inten.'Hting story might bo
told of the. manner in which bank noteH '
are sometimes redeemed, writes Harold
W. (ieorge iu the Chautauquan. They
are sent to the treasury department in
uvery conceivable form. Sometimes
men will hide their money i" chimneys,
and tlie good housewife, ignorant of the
whereabouts of tlie treasure, will build
up a fire that heats the chimney and
sets lire to the valuable contents. Mice
and rats, particularly iu stores and
banks, steal tin; precious paper out oi
tills and carry it away to make nests.
Dogs destroy and swallow it; and goats,
which are said to exist at times on
tin cans and back-lot deposits, are on
record at the treasury as having tried
to live on rolls of money winch came
in their way. In cases of this kind the
animals an; killed, unless thought to
be more valuable than the money lost,
and the tittle wads of pellets found in
the stomachs of the ojVending quadru
peds are rescued and forwarded for re
Icmption. I.abirs have also been known
to swallow valuable bank notes, but
mere i?, no iv.-.iru l . tid v nig oeeu
killed to malar it disorgo what it had
eaten.
it is a rule that no bank note can be
redeemed unless nt least three-fifths
of it are presented at tlie treasury, or
tho loser makes aliidavit that his mon
ey was lost, under circumstances such
as to prer hide its recovery. The
htrongest kind of evidence is necessa
ry to make the govt-rninent otlicuus
redeem lost or dctrowd money when
the notes in uu .i n are not forth
;oming.
