CAPTURED A BULL MOOBl.
Bat It Took a Hmi of BUtMt to
Oot Iht Animal la Bud.
Hunter Sellick hit for Mnrtl yean
boon the possessor of two fine cow
moote, and hla great ambition hat
been to go into the mooee-raUing bus
iness. Year after year he hoe endeav
ored to capture a male moose, bat
failed. ■ Some time ago he left Mono
ton for the forest country lying be
tween the head watem of the Toblgne
and Mlrnmlcbi rivers. For days hie
search woe unavailing, nntil one day,
about thirty miles away from any set
tlement and in the heart of the forest,,
he sighted the objeot of his search.
It was a magnificent speolmen, fully
six feet high. At this season its antlers
had been shed, but the new ones wen
already jutting forth. The dogs wen
set to nipping the moose in the rear,
driving it toward a tree. Belllek,
creeping around, suddenly threw his
lasso over the animals head, twisted
the rope around a tree and had the
moose a prisoner.
It is comparatively easy for a suc
cessful hunter to bring home a dead
moose, but it is not so easy with a live
one. It took five weeks, climbing over
the hills, wading the morasses or ford
ing thFrivers which marked the thirty
miles' distance between the scene of
the capture and the first settlement.
The hunter at times had to employ a
catamaran to cross the streams, the
moose swimming behind. Finally he
reached the Intercolonial, took a box
car, which was just high enough for
the moose, and brought his prise to
Moncton. _
CURIOUS MINERALS.
Utah Possesses an Unusual Variety of
Peculiar Metals.
The mountains and valleys of Utah
are perfect.magazlnesof odd minerals,
some found only sparingly in other
places, while a great many kinds are
plentiful there that are found in no
other locality on the globe. “Tea
tlte," a soft, resinous substance found
in quantities in the Bear Blver moun
tains, was unknown to the mineralo
gist prior to 1800, and is even now
wholly unknown in other quarters of
the earth. Experts who have given
it thorough tests are of the opinion
that it will finally become amber of
the finest quality.
“Ozokerite,” a species of natural
mineral wax, a rarity elsewhere, is
found in large quantities in this local
ity of queer mineral substanoea It is
an acid and water proof, and makes
the finest insulating material. known.
“Oilsonite,” another variety of min
eral wax, contains 80 per cent of
carbon or asphalt in its pure form.
The Utah vein is almost 3 feet wide
and a mile in length.
Besides the above named minerals,
which for various reasons belong only
In the category of oddities, there are
Inexhaustible beds of niter and alum,
to say nothing of the mines of gold,
silver, copper, lead, iron, etc.
WHERE THE WOMEN PROPOSE,
It !• In the Ukraine Where the Bight
Falla Upon Them.
is the Ukraine, .Russia, the woman
does all the courting. When she falls
in love with a man she goes to his
house and informs him of the state of ,
her feelings If he reciprocates all is
well, and the formal marriage is duly
arranged. If, however, he is unwill*
lng, she remains there, hoping to coax
him to a better mind. The poor fel
low cannot treat her with the least
discourtesy, nor has he the consolation
at beihg able to turn her out, as her
friends in such a case would feel bound
to avenge the insult His remedy,
therefore, if determined not to marry
her, is to leave his home and stay
away as long as she is in it.
On the Isthmus of Darien either sex
can do the courting, with the natural
result that almost every one gets mar
ried. A similar practice to that in
the Ukraine exists among the Zunl
tribe of Indians. The woman does all
the courting, and also controls the sit
uation after marriage. To her belong
all the children, and descent, includ
ing inheritance, is also on her side.
The same custom prevails among the
Vigrees, a tribe in Cabul, and the
Nairn of Malabar. Among the Garo
race of Abssam, in Northeast India, it
is not only the privilege, bnt even the
dnty of the girl there to speak first.
A teak* Swallower.
A wonderful story reaches us from
/span, of a snake swallower who
has outdone all forerunners in the art.
Salto Tora-no-suke was one day
breaking up some land, when he came
upon a snake three feet long. Seizing
it in his hands, he called out to his
companions that if they would giro
him St he would swallow the snake.
Although dollars are scarce in Japan,
it is ' stated that the money was at
once subscribed, the onlookers not
believing that the bet would be won.
But true to his word, Salto put the
head of the creature into his mouth,
and swallowed the whole three feet of
snake without difficulty.
The punishment of his temerity was
swift and fell. While his companions
were gazing at him, speechless with |
horror and astonishment, he was seen
to change color and fall to the ground
in great pain, and he died In a few
minutes.

In one silver dime. Each shoe has the

horseshoes of the ordinary size; but,
strange to say, the smallest cambric
needle is too large to be used as nails

has made affidavit that every one of
these tiny silver crescents wsa made
with the same hammer and punch
used in making shoes for the largest
sized horse. How it was ever done is
