The Slaughter of Deer.
Game Warden Taylor arrived in Den
ver recently from the lower country ,
where he has been kept busy driving
the Indians out of that section. Mr.
Taylor reports that the Utes have been
playing havoc with the game , slaugh
tering wherever they could. He states
that from the Iron Springs divide to
Yellow creek it is impossible to travel
a hundred yards without finding the
bodies of deer lying around , and in
most cases nothing but the hides and
brains have been taken , the brains
being used by the Indians in the
process of tanning. On Blue mountain
and in the Lily park sections the rot
ting carcasses can be seen , while on
Snake river they are so thick as to ab
solutely poison the air. Warden Taylor
estimates that since the deer began to
travel down the Utcs have killed be
tween five and six thousand of them ,
and , what makes matters worse , the
major portion of them are does and
fawns , the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the sea
son. If this continues the deer will be
come extinct with the buffalo.
Refined Luxury.
Ladies , it is said , have long worn diamond
mend buckles on their garters. Now
the refinement of luxury is carried a
step further , and precious stones are
lavished on linen underwear. Mono
grams set with small diamonds are pre
pared , to which tiny rivets are attached ,
and these may be placed on any gar
ment , and even on a pocket handker
chief. It is usual to provide for this
costly innovation by having the mono
gram also embroidered on the material ,
little eyelet holes for the rivets being
worked in the design so that the diamond
mend letters have a firm base. Small
flowers are made in the same way for
ladies who prefer an emblem to a mon
ogram.
While it may be necessary to the com
fort of some to know that their under
clothing is studded with valuable jew
els , there are those , and it may be said
with safety that they are in the major
ity , who prefer to wear their jewelry
over their clothing. There are still
others who are glad of the clothing.
A Cruel Bondage.
There are more bondages than the
bondage of sin. Take the conformist ,
the person who is afraid to make a
single step in life without reference tea
a manual of correct behavior ; the per
son who is always tormenting himself
with the question : "What will people
say ? " No old African slave in dread of
the lash , writes "Amber , " in the Chicago
cage Herald , was ever under crueler
bondage than he. What do you
suppose it will matter to you or
to me , a dozen years from now ,
what people said about this or that we
did that was off the regulation cut ?
Gossip is the honey that stocks the hives
of human bees , but it is ephemeral stufi
it doesn't last over one season.
LADIES who want white hair should
go to and live awhile in New Mexico
or Colorado. According to a recent let
ter from that region a residence in
either will bleach the hair , and many a
black-haired man who has gone out
there to settle comes back in three or
four years with a poll as white as snow.
Some say it is the altitude , though
what an altitude of five thousand or six
thousand feet has to do with a man's
hair is a mystery. A more reasonable
explanation is the alkali. The alkali
dust gets in the hair , and must be
washed out with the alkali water , and
the hair is thus speedily bleached.
THE "nerve tonic" fad has had a mul
titude of disciples during the past sum
mer. There are , says the New York
Tribune , large numbers of otherwise
sensible people who drink a quart or sea
a week of some concoction which is
warranted to "tone up" the nerves in a
more or less magical way , and who will
solemnly assure yon that the said con
coction has saved them from imbecility.
And these so-called " "
yet - "nerve tonics"
are simply water or syrup , colored and
flavored with some cheap and harmless
substance. They have about as much
effect on the nerves as they would have
on a broken arm.
DOLLAR worship is pretty generally
regarded as a sin in America , but even
those who frown most darkly on the
greed for gold are nothing loth to join
in the scramble when the coin is flying
about. Charles Dickens shuddered at
what is often termed our national sin ,
yet while here in this country it was
noticed that the dollar that rolled in
his direction was stopped with alacrity ,
and it is said that some hundreds of
thousands of them departed with him
when he went back home to merry
England.
THE city of New York is said to have
quite a number of Armenians among
its people. They are , as a rule , small
traders and merchants , and have the
name of being even keener and shrewder
traders than the Jews. One of the
Eothschilds once said of this people :
"Shut up all the Jews with all the
Armenians in an exchange , and in less
than a day all the Jews' wealth will
have passed into Armenian hands. "
WOMEN have not monopolized quite
all the vanity that escaped with the
other ills from Pandora's casket. A
gilt-edged darling in New York city
keeps a private tailor to whom he pays
a large salary to cut out suits of clothes
from the dandy's own designs , which
he studies out and produces in water-
colors.

HOUSES WITHOUT NAILS.
The Qucorly Constructed Homo * of the
Carlb Indlurn at MogquiUa.
On the coast of Mosquitia. a re
cently created department of the re
public of Honduras , there are few
houffes better than the watla of the
Ciirib or the Waika Indian , says the
New York Journal. The frame of the
\\nitla rests upon eight or more posts
firmly sot in the ground and are
usually of Santa Maria wood , which
resists decay.
In the short crotch at the top of the
post lies the pole , live or six inches in
diameter , which is the "plato" On
which rests the long , slender rafters ,
which meet high above the ground.
The rafters are held in place by light
poles , which run around the ends and
sides of the roof. Cross pieces servo
to strengthen the whole.
Not a nail , not a bit of iron of any
kind , is used in building this cottage ,
but the whole frame is held together
by bajucos or tie-tio vines , which are
found in unlimited quantities in every
forest , and whicli , when green , can bo
used as easily as cords could bo for
lashing the pieces together. As they
dry they shrink and bind the whole
most lirrnly.
While the men are putting up the
frame of the house the women are preparing -
paring the covering , which is made of
a kind of leaf called ' 'monkey tail. "
This they attach to strips some ten feet
long and an inch wide , split from bam
boo , the whole making a , fringe about
sixteen inches wide. Beginning at
the lower ends of the rafters , these
fringes are lashed firmly in rows ex
tending entirely around the edge of
the roof. The second row laps over
the first and the third over the second ,
and so on , until the house is covered
by a thatch which will turn the heav
iest rain , and will last eight or ten
years.
The walls of the house are made of
the trunks of papta palms , „ three or
four inches in diameter. These are
set upright and close together in a
trench and tied with bajucos or poles
running from post to post ; or bamboos
cut in pieces of suitable length are
flattened into broad sheets orcrick -
eries" and fastened upright to the-
frame , thus making a , smooth , clean
and attractive wall , through which the
refreshing breezes draw steadily from
morning until night
The daughter of a New York judge
has for more than two years made her
homo in such a watla , the walls being
draped with muslin and the ceiling
with pink mosquito bar in plats radi
ating from the center. The Japanese
decorations .harmonize with the walls
and the shelves of bamboo , filled with
choice books. Moreover , there is a
floor of pine lumber , pictures on the
wall , an easel in the corner and tables
whereon baskets of oranges , mangoes ,
bananas and other luscious fruits ii ;
their season tempt the visitor.
THE LICORfCE TREE.
Its Homo in Alia Minor The ISlncIc
Ucorico 31'ttle in Spain.
Most of it comes from Asia Minor ,
where it is found growing in great
abundance all along the flat , unculti
vated and almost uninhabited lands of
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. It
is a small shrub not more than three
feet high , with a light foliage , and is
never found far from the water.
The season for collecting the roots
is generally during the winter , al
though it is possible all the year
round. When the root is first dug it
is full of water and must be allowed
to dry , a long tedious process , often
taking a year. It is then sent to
Bagdad , whore it is pressed into bales
and shipped to London , and from
there to America , quantities of it be
ing used in this country in the manu
facture of tobacco.
The black licorice stick or rolls
which we see in the confectionery and
drug stores come mostly from Spain ,
and are made of pure juice mixed
with a little starch , which prevents it
from melting in warm weather , and
before packiner each stick is wrapped
in bay leaves.
The word licorice means "sweet
root , "and is of Greek origin. Har

A Novel Bull-FIglit.
Cayetano , the famous Spanish torero ,
once was strolling across the meadow ,
with a couple of friends , when their
attention was attracted by an old and
infuriated bull , which was galloping
toward them with lowered head and
erect tail. Cayetauo had no weapon ,
not even a cane , but he seized a dust-
coat , which one of his friends was
carrying over his arm. As soon as
the bull got clo&o to them , Cayetano
bade his companions make their es
cape while he engaged the animal's
attention. Using the coat as a capa ,
he drove the bull crazy with fury ,
stepping aside with the deftest agility
at each of the animal's charges. In
this manner , he caused the bull to
turn sharply in the midst of its on
ward rushes , until , finally , an omin
ous crack was heard , and the bull fell
in a heap , with its backbone broken by
the sudden wrench given by the ani
mal's abrupt swerve. Argonaut.
