Induct* Nearly Every Sp*d**
Found In North America.
It may be said that every species
o f game animal found on the North
American continent anywhere south
o f the fiftieth parallel north, ex
cept mooee, caribou and elk, is
found in Mexico. The silver tip
bear ranges all through the high
Sierra Madras wherever there are
good feeding grounds, and wher
ever there are grixxliee one may ex
pect also the huge cinnamon bear,
the grizzly*« close neighbor. The
common brown bear ia not eo nu
merous, but the black bear ia quite
plentiful. The white faced bear ia
more rare, though it ia sometimes
found in the coast mountain«. I
could not learn that this species
had ever been seen in the Sierra
Madres.
The higher mountains at all ele
vations and even the lower foot
hills abound with white tail deer.
On the Pacific aide they are nu
merous almost to the coast. I saw
them just outside the city o f Culi-
acan. They are very plentiful in
Tepic territory, and I can vouch
from personal experience for the
quality o f their venison. A t many
mountain cabins where I stopped
they were household pets, where as
fawns they had been found and
raised by children.
The mule, burro or blacktail in
habits portions o f the states o f Chi
huahua, Coahuila and Sonora.
The mountain lion lurks in all
the high country, and along with
him is sometimes found, bat sel
dom killed, the American panther.
A ll the American great cats, in fact,
inhabit both the Pacific and gulf
coasts and the foothills. The small
American leopard is very numerous
all along the hot country coasts,
and the Mexican jaguar, known lo
cally by foreigners as the tiger,
preys upon cattle and ranch ani
mals to such a degree as to be very
much o f a nuisance.
There are some timber wolves,
but they are not dangerous. The
one animal that is really dangerous
is the javelin, or Mexican Wild boar.
It runs in large bands and will kill
both man and horse. I f a javalin ia
wounded the whole band will turn
upon the hunter, and woe to him if
be has hot provided for escape or
safety. The javalin is very numer
ous in some sections, bat i f not m o
lested it is not likely to attack.—
Dillon Wallace in Outing Magazine.

“ Did you hear about Samuels?*'
asked Mrs. Oraymare’s husband.
“ N o, I didn’t hear about Sam
uels,” the lady answered. “ When
yon have anything to tell why don’ t
yon tell it? ”
“ Yes, dear. Well, Samuels was
going home the other night when a
footpad shot at him, and the ball hit
a latchkey in Samuels’ vest pocket,
and his life was saved. So yon see
what good a latchkey is.”
“ Indeed! I f Samuels had been
going home at a reasonable hour he
wouldn’ t have met any footpad;
second, he carries £2,000 insur
ance, payable to his wife, and if it
had it not been for that key she
would be a rich widow now. So if
yon are hunting around for a latch
key you will have to bring home
some better story than that one;

H* Haa Trouble^ of Hi* Own In Hi*
Composing Room.
I f the typesetters of the western
world have their troubles they are
as nothing compared with those o f
the Japanese composing room.
The Japanese, like their breth
ren, the Chinese, employ a written
language— what might be called a
literary dialect— that is auite dif
ferent from the colloquial tongue.
In other words, they do not, as we,
write as they speak. This proceed
ing requires the printing of their
journals in two languages, the “ Ka
ne” and the square characters serv
ing as a key to the other. These
mare characters are modeled on
ninese ideographs, a jumble of
geometric figures, crosses, etc., pre
senting a picturesque zigzag effect. „
There are 4,000 to 5,000 of these
ideographs in everyday use. The
compositor must therefore be some
thing o f a scholar, in the oriental
sense, to be able to recognise the
characters at sight. In order to
facilitate his task as much as pos
sible the arrangement of his work
room is something like this:
The compositor seats himself at
a little table, upon which are spread
forty-6even Kan a characters.
As
he receives copy he cuts it into
small stripe, handing each strip to a
boy.' This boy marches along the
room until he has finally been able
to collect from a number o f cases
arranged in files down the room the
different ideographs desired. About
six or seven boys are thus employed
in the average Japanese composing
room running hither and thither.
As they go their rounds in search
o f the ideographs they keep up a
dirgelike chant, which would cer
tainly be very trying to the nerves
of any bat an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their ideographs they place them
before the compositor, who then
has recourse to a pair o f goggles in
order to decipher the characters,
fish oat the corresponding types in
the Kana character and finally set
up the whole for proving. Th®
proofs are sung aloud by one reader
to another, thus adding to the con
fusion o f weird sounds alread;
reigning in the room.— New Yorl
Tribune.
i
St**m*liip Tipping.
As a ship nears land after a trip
across the Atlantic inexperienced
travelers are always in a ferment in
regard to the proper tip to give
their various stewards. O f coon®
one may give what one chooses and,
no matter how small the amount,
will never be questioned by the re
cipient, though his looks may mean
much. I may say, however, that it
is customary to give the table stew
ard abont $3. Your bedroom stew
ard should receive not less than $2,
the steward that polishes your boots
o f a morning 91 and your bath
steward $2. In the larger boats, in
which there are lifts that run be
tween the G and A decks, saving you
the climb o f five flights of stairs,
should your cabin happen on E
deck, it is now customary to give
a “ pourboire” to the boys who oper
ate the cars. It is advisable, by the
way, to engage a position for your
deck chair and indicate the time at
which you desire to take your morn
ing tub at the time when you en
gage your passage. — Gentlemen’s

A dirigible balloon, L’ Aigle, waa
to have made a journey from the
Champ de Mara on Aug. 17, 1834.
The poetic wording of the prospec
tus in in itself a curiosity, and the
aerostat also was not wanting in in
terest. It waa forty meten long—
that is, 130 feet— and fifteen in
width—that is, forty-eight feet nine
inches. It had the form of a mon
ster sea fish and was inflated with
hydrogen.
Within waa a second envelope,
which, with the aid of pumps, com
pressed or rarefied the air for as
cending or descending, aa the case
might be. At the extremities were
two great “ rones a ailettes” for
steering purpose«.
There waa no motor, and the nav
igators had to work the machinery
with their hands. The car of wick
er was described aa a marvel of
eomfort, with seats for ten persona.
The dirigible was to have made its
ascent with the two aeronauts,
MM. Lenon and Edam, who were
to have been accompanied by their
wives.
The prospectus of the 1834 dirigi
ble informed the public that the in
ventor had constructed two years
ago at Montmartre a monster ma
chine which he raised one night far
away from curious eyes to study it*
capabilities, but the result waa not
equal .to his expectations. Today,
after great improvements, the ap
paratus waa ready for victoiy.
This would be achieved in the
presence of a greet concourse of
spectators, and the inventor and his
wife, with several people, would
make the ascent Given favorable
wind, two hours would be sufficient
for Hie journey to London, which
is ninety-eight leagues from Paris.
The itinerary was indicated with
great precision.
But in spite of the magnificent
promises and after the expenditure
of great trouble and energy the ap
paratus was got to the Champ de
Mars, but beyond that it would not
move. The crowd was enraged and
smashed the machine.— Paris Let

A Sailor 8 up*r*titicn.
“ It’s funny,” remarked an old
skipper on the water front, “ how an
cient superstitions cling to the men
who go to sea. Take, for instance,
that shark’s fin nailed to the tip of
the flying jibboom o f that windjam
mer. There’s hardly any o f the peo
ple who come down to the docks on
• Sunday afternoon that don’t look
and wonder at it. But few know
what it means to seafaring men.
It’a a superstition as old as the art
o f sailing and one in which all sea
men believe. They think it takes
the ginger out o f heavy seas when
the ship is shoving her nose under,
and they also believe that so long
as the shark’s fin holds the vessel
will never be in a collision. It is a
mascot which brings all good, be
sides adding speed to the ship. A
sailor would as leave see the masts
go by the board aa to see the shark’ s
fin lost off the jibboom.” — San
Francisco Call.

who asked a pardon for her hus

“ Goin’ on two years now,” came
the answer; "hut, law, he ain’ t no
