M exico , 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. A aohsm* That Failed. “ 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; that's all.

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 Journal. «- i * Just As Good as Cash in the Bank IS AN ACORN RANGE IN YOUR KITCHEN 40 yearn experience in ito te building enables d ie “A corn” people to o ffer to the public a stove made o f a patented iron, warranted for twenty years, and T he Christenson & Larkin Hardware Com­ pany o f your city will take pleasure in showing you why this par­ ticular line is a deader.” They are priced within reach o f all and sold on their MERITS.

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 ter. 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. Plenty of R***on. While governor o f Tennessee Senator Robert L. Taylor was once approached by an old negro woman who asked a pardon for her hus­ band, sent to the penitentiary for stealing a hog. ‘ How long has he been in jail?” waa asked. “ Goin’ on two years now,” came the answer; "hut, law, he ain’ t no good to them and wa’ n’t no good to me nohow, an’ I speck they’ ll be glad to get rid o’ him.” ‘ Why do you want T v O S eS A go'-'d selection —s tr o n g p la n ts— a t prices th a t are rig h t.
