There h;s not been a 3'ear for some time when game was as plenty and when so little game has been killed and destroyed as during the past win ter. One reason is that the snow in many localities has not been deep, and at the same time it has been hard, hole ing up the deer and caribou and givlog them a chance to protect themselves by flight. Another reason is that the guides and hunters have learned that it is for their interest to leave the game alone, especially during the deep snows. I have made it a point to see many of, them in the early part of the winter, and tried to make them understand that it is for their interest for us to keep a good stock of fish and game, as they would get more business daring the guiding season. The most of the game that has been killed tho past winter has been killed in the back settlements, hunters using dogs to catch deer. There has been a story of ninety moose killed near our border line, in township 5, range 18. 1 believe the most of this yarn is false, 1 have been within a day's walk of the township this winter and 1 did not learn of any such business. In fact there are not moose enongh in that locality. It is near the Canada line, and this same re port comes from there every year. Cor. Portland (Me.) Press. Beekeepers and the Government. Foreign bees without pedigrees may be admitted to the United States free of duty. The secretary of the treasury lias so decided. Until the last tariff bill was passed bees from abroad came in gratis, as "animals imported for breeding pur poses." The ilcKinley law declared that this ruling should only apply to an imals "regclarly entered in recognized herd books. Accordingly, bees were assessed 20 per cent, ad valorem, lie cause they had no iedigrees. The lee keepers protested and carried their point. Some time ago the postoffice department declared that bees were "unmailable." on the ground that they would be likely to sting people if they got loose. The beekeepers secured the recall of this reg ulation, by proving that the packages employed could not be broken. Wiish ington Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Little Fear of Indian Troubles. A gentleman at Rosebud agency writes that the reports of dissatisfaction among the Indians there have been greatly ex aggerated. Since his arrival there two weeks ago he has traveled quite exten sively through the various Indian camps and thinks the Indians never exhibited a more peaceful frame of mind than at present. Never did they take hold of work more readily or more extensively, and never did they take more interest in the care of their stock than the past winter, as can plainly be seen by the condition of horses and cattle this spring. So far as dissatisfaction with rations is concerned, if there is any such, the white emploj-ees hear nothing of it. Cor. Min neapolis Journal. Confederate Coins. There has recently been some inquiry as to whether the Confederate govern ment coined any gold. The question was referred to the lion. Charles C. Jones, Jr., of Augusta, who telegraphs as follows: "The Confederate States, as I now remember, coined and issued no gold. A few experimental half dollars in silver were struck, but they did not pass into circulation." Charleston News and Courier. - - A Circus Tumbler lias a Fall. A dispatch from Warsaw, Ind., says: "Charles Neff, a laborer in Lakeside park, while engaged in trimming a tree fell from its top to the ground, a dis tance of sixty feet, and was uninjured. Neff is an old circus tumbler, and the agility learned in tho ring saved his life, lie fell on his hands and rebounded in the air ten feet, alighting on his feet without a scratch." A lawsuit ha-1 been commenced in Marengo, Ind., hot ween Edmund Waltz and El wood Stout, over the price of two eggs, bought at seventeen cents per dozen. Two of the dozen were rotten, and Waltz demanded a return of the price. A joung man hypnotized at an enter tainment in Paris remained senseless for two days and was with difSiculty hrout back to consciousness. A Missouri judge presented to the ex Confederate home fifty-eight cents, but they wt re very old coins and are to bo old at auction.

New York Sun. A Cowboy's Sense of Ilnmor. A globe trotting Englishman told me this story: "To show you that the cow boys are not as bad as they have been painted in fact, that they are opposed to anything like lawbreaking and vio lence let me relate an incident. There was a poor clerk standing up over his books at a desk in a shop on the main street, and there was a cowboy riding up and down the street. Well, the cow boy saw the clerk and his sense of hu mor was aroused by the idea of shooting at him, d you know. Those cowboys have a very remarkable sense of humor. So the cowboy ups with his pistol, d'you know, and he shoots the poor clerk right through the head, killing him instantly. "Well, now, that sort of thing is very distinctly frowned upon by cowboys, as a rule, and in this case the cowboys held a meeting and resolved that the fellow with the lively bat dangerous sense of humor should be hanged at once. They put a rope around his neck, and there being no tree anywhere in sight they hung him to the side of a Pullman as the train came rolling in. I've seen a number of occurrences of that sort, which makes me quite positive in stat ing that though they are a very mm sort of beggars they are really not a bad lot." Julian Ralph in Harper's Weekly. A Laxy, Though Shrewd Fellow. Tulkinson a barrister and bachelor combined, by the way is a very sys tematic man, The other day he had his house fitted with electrical appliances, and giving instructions to his servant Joseph, he said: "Now I want you to understand, Joseph, that when 1 ring once that means for you, and when I ring twice that means for Maggie, the housemaid. Joseph, who is the laziest wretch that ever accepted wages he did not earn, bowed respectfully and withdrew. A little later the bell rang. Joseph never moved. Presently it rang again, and according to instructions Maggie came hurrying to her master, who was very angry. "Why didn t that rascal, Joseph, come when I rang for him?" said the bar rister bachelor disgustedly. "Why, sir, answered Maggie, ."Jo seph is busy in the office reading your newspaper. When he heard the first ring he said to me, 'Now, Maggie, wait until he rings the second time, and then it will be you he wants.' " London Tit- Bits. Strang Cave Dwellers In Spain. At a meeting of the Royal Geograph ical society, of Madrid, Dr. Bide gave an Eccount of his exploration of a wild district in the province of Caceres, which he represented as still inhabited by a strange people who speak a curious patois and live in caves and inaccessible retreats. They have a hairy skin and have hitherto displayed a Btrong repug nance to mixing with their Spanish and Portugese neighbors. Roads have lately been pushed into the district inhabited by the "Jurdes," and they are begin- rung to learn tne ijasmian language and attend the fairs and markets. W. II. Larrabee in Popular- Science Monthly. The Growth of Railroad Mileage. In 1830 there were twenty-three miles of railway in operation in the United States. By 1S33 the mileage had in creased to 229 miles, and in 1835 tht country had 1,093 miles of railroad. Tht first through railroad from the ear westward was completed in 1842 between Boston and Albany, connecting at the latter place with the Erie canal. In the same year the last link of the line from Albany to Buffalo was opened. At the end of 18-18 the total mileage of all the railroads in the country was 5,090 miles, or about 500 miles more than there are now in the state of Nebraska. Edward Rosewater's Omaha Address. The Flute Is Very Old. The flute is very old in its origin, but the flute of today is different from that of the ancients. It has been improved upon from time to time, and the old people would probably fail to recognize it now. The flageolet, which is some what similar, is credited to Juvigny about 1531.

The tallest men of South America are found in the western provinces of tho Argentine Republic, of Asia in Afghan istan and Kaypootana, of Africa in tho highlands of Abyssinia. Yankee Blade. vAbijan btone was a Vermont fanner who had a great fondness for horses. He often said that "thaout no disre spect t human bein's, it did appear's ef some hosses bed full as much sense as th common run o folks." His conver sation was tinged by this belief, and he drew many an illustration from his fav orite animals. On one occasion this habit of his was the cause of much con fusion to a young man to whom Mr. Stone was talking. Tho young man was a professional musician who had been spending part of the summer at a neighboring farm house, and had had the audacity to fall in love with Mr. Stone's pretty daughter Jenny. He was listening to the farmer's various reasons for opposing his suit one summer evening, just before his re turn to the cit3'. "For one thing," said Abijah Stone, "you like all kinds o new fangled mu sic, an want t be playin it all th whole durn time; naow my Jenny, she'd ruther hear 'Home, Sweet Home,' or somethin o that gen'ral style." "Ah," said the pianist, blandly but firmly, "I should educate your daugh ter's musical taste, Mr. Stone. I should lead her graudally from simple melodies up to the great Wagner." "Was that piece you played t' th' con cert in Taown hall by Mr. Wagner?" interrupted Abijah. "it was, replied tne pianist, with a glow of reminiscent pride in his late per formance. wen, men, saia sit. stone, witn u peculiar expression at the corners of his mouth, "you might lead my Jenny up t' him, young man, but I'm inclined t' think she'd be apt t balk b'fore you got her there! Youth s Companion. Gold Which Tourists Leave in Italy. How does Italy, a country without gold mines, find the gold to pay the ten millions a year due to foreign holders of her bonds, not to speak of the heavy bal ance against her on her foreign trade? Mr. Dering, secretary of the British em bassy in Rome, declares that the only solution of the question at which it is logically possible to arrive is that this amount of gold is annually brought into the country by foreign travelers, who swarm during the four seasons of the year in one part of Italy or the other. From calculations made by the United States consular representatives in vari ous parts of this country it has been computed that for the last ten years the average expenditure in Italy of Ameri can citizens has been about 7,000,000. Mr. Dering thinks it would scarcely be an exaggeration to place the collective expenditure of British, French, Austrian, German and other foreign travelers at double this amount. - This, we are reminded, is irrespective of the money spent in the country by the 50,000 to 60,000 pilgrims who annu ally visit the Eternal City, and of the amount of which they are the bearers in the shape of donations to the holy SCO London News. What He Ordered. At dinner in St. Joseph, Mo., about two years ago, with my friend Hile Jo burn, who is considerable of a wag, in reply to the "What will you take to drink, gemmenf of the son of Ham that served us, 1 ordered a glass of iced tea, while Hile, who wanted beside the fluid a little merriment to aid digestion, said: "You may bring me a glass of lacteal fluid, George. The ebonized dispenser of grub, with a confident "All right, boss," left for the kitchen, where, the supposition is, he expected to find some one who could translate Hile's order to his vernacular, but apparently he was disappointed, for after a minute s absence he returned with but one glass that contained frapped tea and placing that before me, he turned to Hile with: "What was dat you wanted, boss?" My companion answered, "A glass ox milk, you emphasized fool. Again the waiter left, and coining back in a short time with a triumphant gleam on his face and a glass of milk in his hand he joyously said, "Dar's your ox tail fluid, boss." New York Re corder. Wherein Liverpool Was Desirable. I was invited by an American friend of mine in Liverpool to meet Hawthorne soon after his arrival. His appearance was very striking, his face handsome and intellectual, and the large liquid eyes were full of latent fire and poetical imagination. He was not only reticent, but almost taciturn, and when he did speak was apt to pause and then jerk out the rest of the sentence. Americans have, as a rule, a very remarkable facil ity of expression. Here was a curi ous exception. I remember condoling with him for having exchanged Bos ton, the hub of creation, for uncongenial Liverpool, when he replied, "Oh, Liver pool is a very pleasant place" (then a pause sufficiently long for me to look surprised, and then suddenly the end of the sentence), "to get away from."
