BADEN POWELL HA8 WRIT TEN A BOOK ON IT. He Declares It Great Sport, and Telia How to Bag Your Enemy With out Being Bagged Extracts From "Aids to Scouting." Colonel HunVn-I'owell declnrea that "niiin-stnlkiiiK" Is the best game of which lie knows, and the Colonel his had experience enough ns a hunter of both two mid four footed animals to know. He has written a book called "Aids to Scouting," and In It he clear ly lays down the rules of the sport. The scout's ten commandments, lie nays, me pluck and self-reliance, abili ty to find his way In a strange conn- try and use bin eyes and ears. He must be ahle to keep himself hidden, track the enemy, get across country, take cure of himself and his horse, mill report his Information. The most reliable assistance In find ing your way Is the compass, but In Soulli Afileft. where there Is much Ironstone In the ground, a compass be comes very uurelhililp. The sun by day gives you the cast In his rising, and west In his setting, and north or south lit noon, as you happen to be south or niirih of the equator. tin starting on a reconnaissance, If you see a mountain to the northward It will serve ns a guide. Similarly, when you pas any conspicuous object, like a withered tree, broken gate or a strangely shaped rock, keep It In your nilml. On passing such landmarks do not omit to look back, and see what their appearance Is from the other siile. A moving enemy Is easy to see, but one who stands still, or who Is the same color ns the ground arouud him, Is very hard to Ree for the unprac tical eye. Common sense and a little reflccHnn will often suggest to yon the most likely points to look to find him. For Instance, you come across three fresh pnths trodden In the grass on the South African veldt, all running parallel to each other, at a few yards distance. By having studied the hahlls of your enemy you will know at once that this means three companies have passed that way on the march, as gen erally they march In single file, each company following Its own leader. If the footmarks show that the men were wearing sandals It means they wue on a long march; If barefooted, they were not going far. It is often a useful thing, after pass ing a place where you suspect an ene my to he li LI in 'j, to turn very suddenly and look for him. You may catch him looking out less carefully. In selecting your lookout place, al ways be careful to see that there Is more than one way out of It, so that, if an enemy cuts you off at one you can escape by the other. Thus a tower is a tempting place to look out from, hut If an enemy comes and stands guard at the foot of It you cannot get away, whereas the roof of a house will give you an almost equally good view and possibly several different ways of getting to the ground. Trees, for the Fame reason as tow ers, must be used with caution. Re member that men are very apt to for get to look up in trees for ysu unless they see your footmarks on the ground leading to a tree. I have stood under a tree with an enemy up in It, nud never noticed him till he fired down at me. Tracking means following up foot marks. It Is called "spooring" In South Africa. Scouting without track ing is like breud-nnd-buttcr without the bread. The first thing to learn ia to distinguish the pace at which a horse or man was moving when he made the track. It will be seen that a horse walking leaves pairs of foot murks, each hind foot coming close to the impression or the fore foot. At a trot each pair of footmarks Is at a greater distance from the next, and- the ground is more forcibly struck, the toe more deeply indented In the ground than ut a walk. At a canter there are two single footmarks, and then a pair; at a guhou single foot marks deeply indented. With a man walking, the whole flat of the foot comes equully on the ground, the feet a little under one yard apart Running, the toes are more deeply Indented iu the ground, and the feet arc more than a yard apart Native trackers boast that not only can they tell a person's yx and age "by their trucks, but also their characters. They say that people who turn out their toes much are generally liars- It was a trick with highwaymen of old, and with horsestealers more recently, to put their horses' shoes on wrong way round, in order to deceive trackers who might try to follow them up; but a good tracker would not be tuken In. Similarly, thieves often walk bui-kward. lu tracking where spoor la dirticult to see such as on hard ground, or iu grass note the direction of the hist footprint that you can see, aud then look on in the same direc tion, but well ahead of you say, 20 to 'M yards and iu the grass you will generally see the blades bent or trod den, and on bard ground possibly stones displaced or scratched, and so on small sl'iis, which, seen lu a line one behind the other, give a kind of truck that otherwise would not be no ticed. 1 once irucKeo. a bicycle on a hard macadam road, where it really made no impression at all, but by looking along the surface of the roud for a long distance ahead of me, under the rising sun, as It happened, the line it had taken was quite visible through the almost Invisible coating of dew upon the ground.

They Are Cheap In Switzerland But They Drive Strangers Mad. "I noticed some reference In the paper the other day to the cheapness of telephone service In Bwltserland," said a New Orleans broker recently returned from an extended visit abroad. "I can vouch for the fact that the tolls are very low, but the way the exchanges are run Is well calculated to drive a man to drink. While I was at Berne last fall t de sired to 'phone to a friend who was In a small village In the adjoining can ton, although forty mile distant. I was told that I would find a public Instrument at the post-office, and with a good deal of difficulty I located the "bureau,' as they termed It, In a suite of rooms up stairs. A very military looking old gentleman with a white moustache received me and listened politely to my request. It was then about ten In the morning, and he In formed me with many apologies that t would have to call again, as the line was only open between two and four. I was annoyed, but presented myself on time, and was then put through a course of Interrogations that reminded me of an application for life Insur ance. "When I had satisfied the old gen tleman that I was a harmless Ameri can crank, and that my intentions lrere strictly honorable, he called np the village exchange and directed them to send a messenger to the hotel after my friend. Another long wait ensaed, and when the bell finally rang the manager had a mysterious confab In monosyllables with the other, end of the line. 'I am very sorry,' he said at last, 'but your friend will not be permitted to use the telephone to day; be has forgotten to bring his passport' That was the last Btraw, and I well, I said things, picturesque things, lurid things. The old gentle man told me It was necessary to ob serve precautions to prevent the ser vice being used by military spies. I never got to talk with my friend, but learned that the charge would have been only four cents for three min utes." New Orleans Times-Democrat BLACK WALNUT GOES ABROAD. States Along the Mississippi Searched for Fine Trees. Are The great size often reached by the black walnut, the richness of the dark brown wood, the unique beauty of the grain sometimes found In burls, knots, feathers and in the curl of the roots, all conspire to make this the most choice and high-priced of our native woods. Twenty-five years ago walnut was extensively used In the manufacture of fine furniture and finishings In this country, but manufacturers' adroitly drew attention to the beauty of darkly stained quartered oak, and the use of the rarer wood has greatly declined. But all this time the search for the fine black walnut logs has gone on systematically, though quietly, the trade attracting little attention, though the volume of lumber handled has been large. The great source of supply has been the central portions of the Mississippi valley. The walnut Is at home in the rich alluvial bottom lands of the west ern streams and In the stony lime stone soils of the hills and mountains, and In such localities the buyers have left few trees unsurveyed. Throughout eastern Kansas, Mis souri and Arkansas, aa well as the States along the Ohio and Its tribu taries, may be seen a few logs at this little station, a car or two at that; with carefully hewn sides and painted ends, ready for the market If you ask where this market ia you will find that the great bulk of this rare lumber goes to Europe. While we have been led into an en thusiastic, admiration for fine oak, stained according to the degrees of "tlq"'tr " ,a """P08 to our European cousins have been pay ing fancy prices for the rich black walnut that we have allowed to go "out of the fashion."

Horse's Teeth Wear Down But Al ways Keep Sharp Use of Saliva as an Aid to Digestion Importance of Chewing. A horse with a "full mouth" has forty-two teeth, namely, six front teeth in each jaw, and one tush and six back teeth on each aide of each aw, writes an English veteranarian In the London Live Stock Journal. Each tooth Is covered with a very hard, white and comparatively thin layer of enamel, which In the front teeth forms a depression in the cut- in g surface table of the tooth. Hence, when a front tooth comes Into wear. Its table has two Irregularly-shaped rings of enamel, with soft tooth-sub stance (dentine) between them. In each back tooth the layer of en amel is doubled In on each side so as to form on the table sharp and hard ridges, which project above the soft dentine. The tables of the back teeth slope downward and outward, that ts to say, their Inner edges are higher than their outer edges. The action of the back teeth Is that of a mill, in which the sharp surfaces of the up per and lower back teeth on each side of the mouth work laterally against each other, and thus grind the food which Is brought between them by the tongue and cheeks. As the lower Jaw Is narrower than the upper Jaw, the horse can chew with his back teeth only on one side of his mouth at a time, which he often continues to do for even so long as an hour, without changing to the other side. A horse Is unable to use his front teeth and his back teeth at the same time; for when he works hjs Jaws laterally the front teeth of the lower Jaw become separated from those of the upper Jaw. Each tooth Is lodged In a socket of Its Jaw bone, and becomes developed from Its dental pulp, which is pro vided with blood vessels, nerves and secreting cells. Owing to the con tinued secretion of dentine, the teeth are forced slowly out of their sockets, which movement more or less makes up for the wear entailed on the teeth by mastication. Our own teeth, on the contrary, re main stationary In their sockets after they have attained their full size. The greater amount of wear under gone by the back teeth of the horse Is compensated for by tho Increasing obliquity of the incisors with age. As the teeth wear down in time, the layers of enamel of both the front and back teeth gradually become thin ner and weaker, until at last they disappear altogether, or fall to ful fill their purpose as cutting projec tions on the tables of the teeth. Hence, mastication becomes less per fect with age, and as the animal grows old, he becomes Increasingly liable to Indigestion from the faulty action of his teeth. On an average, a horse takes about nine minutes to eat one pound of oats, and about twelve minutes to consume the same weight of hay. While the food Is being chewed, It becomes more or less mixed with saliva, which flows into the mouth from the salivary glands In response to the stimulus caused by the pres ence of the food, and which helps the animal to swallow. In horses, the chief source of saliva Is the parotid glands, which are of greater com parative size In them than In all other animals except ruminants. The saliva of the parotid glands consists of about 99.2 per cent of water. Carpenter points out that the size of the parotid glands in animals is proportionate to the degree in which the mastication of their food is performed; and that these glands are absent in birds, which swallow their food whole. Although dogs secrete saliva abun dantly, starch is not a component of their natural food. As the require ments of the horse's digestion de mands that he should thoroughly chew bis food, we ought to give it to him in a condition that' will Induce him to eat slowly. Furthermore, the amount of saliva secreted during mas tication Is more or less proportionate to the dryness of the fodder; for the dryer it Is the more saliva will the horse require to enable him to swal low It Saliva, being of an alkaline nature, aids the digestion of fat by forming It Into an emulsion. In which the fat ts split up Into minute particles. Saliva contains the ferment pytalln, which has the property of converting starch Into sugar. In which form It is absorbed into the body. The action of the pytaline of the saliva on starch Js of too brief duration to have much effect; for it ceases soon after the ar rival of the food In the stomach, on account of the presence of acid in the gastric juices. The digestive changes hlch the food undergoes In the mouth therefore appear to be more mechanical than chemical. Work Both Ways.
