The Bison Under Protection.
From the less than one thousand |
bisons to which the millions that
roamed the plains were reduced some
forty years ago by one of the most
wanton orgies of slaughter in all his-
tory, there has been such a steady in-
crease under protective laws and con-
servation that the extinction of this
valuable species is no longer feared.
Seven year sago a careful survey of
the scattered herds proved that the
bison was coming back rapidly, when
the census taker reported nearly 3000
head. It would be safe to reckon the
number of buffaloes today at more
than 4000.
Never will the American bison or
true buffalo again surge over the
western plains. Their range has been
reduced from one-third of the whole
United States to a few square miles
here and there in our national parks
and government reservations. They
are not the same picturesque speci-
mens as of yore. Living in the zoo
and the park these survivors and de-
scendants of a mighty race have that
stolid demeanor of the captive. They
geem out of place.—Our Dumb Ani-
Must Pay for Paper.
Recently the Supreme court of Min-
nesota handed down a decision in
which every publisher in the State is
deeply interested. There is not a
newspaper man in the State but has
had experience with persons telling
him that they did not order the paper,
and although they had enjoyed read-
ing it for months, refused payment
for same. It is impossible for pub-
lishers to keep evidence in their pos-
session as to how every name got on
the subscription list. Now the Su-
preme court in a recent decision cov-
ers this line of argument. Justice
Dibell in his decision says: “One may
accept delivery and make use of a
newspaper delivered to him, just as
he may other things, under such cir-
cumstances as to make a contract im-
plied in fact between him and the pub-
lisher.”
Every man who receives a newspa-
per, knows that the publisher expects
him to pay for same, and if he keeps
on taking it from the postoffice, he
will, under the Supreme court’s rul-
ng, be compelled to pay for it.
Lost Three Husbands in War; Gets
$172 a Month.
A negro woman is drawing three
$57.50 checks, or $172.50 a month,
from the government, for the loss of
three husbands during the war, and
will draw that amount for 20 years.
Mrs. Amanda Jones’ husband died of
spinal meningitis soon after entering
the service and taking out a $10,000
insurance policy.
The widow Jones married a man
named Smith. He took out a maxi-
mum life insurance policy in her fa-
vor, and was killed in action.
Then Mrs. Amanda Jones-Smith
married private Jackson, a returned
soldier, who also named her in a $10,-
000 policy. Influenza made her a wid-
ow a third time in less than two years.
Heard in a Restaurant.
“Here, waiter, ask the orchestra to
play the Toreador song while I eat
this steak. I feel like a bull-fighter.”
LIKE GEM IN RARE SETTING
Lake Kluahne, Close to Arctic Circle,
Is Beautiful Spot Seldom Vis-
ited by Man. +
Lying amid the heights of encir-
cling mountains as a mere dewdrop
in a titanic crinkle of the continental!
surface, is the 50-mile length of Lake
Kluahne, once reputed source of the
Yukon, flowing from it 1,200 miles
or more north, northwest and south-
west to Bering sea. Barely 350
miles south of the arctic circle, south-
ern boundary of perpetual snow and
ice, it is compassed about with moun-
tain ranges and peaks rising abruptly
from its waters, says Christian Science
Monitor.
The shores of the lake are bare of
vegetation, save for the dwarf birch
and the hardy northern willow, tundra
grasses and lesser brush.
Lapped in the perpetual silence of
the unpeopled North, sternly isolated,
untouched by human presence, save
for at long intervals a casual Indian
or passing prospector, Lake Kluahne
has in its very silence and sternness
of aspect a beauty of that hardly ex-
pressed, indefinable, but none the less
deeply felt nature which, conscious of
it or not, is a main factor in holding
the prospector or other man of the
open plates in his wandering ways, in
the sand deserts of the South, or the
mountain ‘wilderness: of the extreme
Northwest alike.
Diamond Setting.
The following method of setting
diamonds: has been found to be the:
best: First drill the hole for the dia-
mond toi- the usual depth, a little
deeper than the greatest dimensions
of the stone. The drilling should be
done without lubricant, as oil of any
kind tends to prevent the spelter from
flowing smoothly.
This being done, the hole should be
closed in slightly; just enough to make
it out of round. The spelter is now
poured into the hole, filling it com-
pletely, and the diamond, held in a
pair of tweezers, is pushed into the
liquid spelter in the hole until it
strikes the bottom. In doing this an
amount of spelter equal to the dis-
placement of the diamond is pushed
out of the hole, and when this drop of
spelter makes its appearance it is cer-
tain that there are no vacant spots
under the stone.
After the spelter has cooled the end
of the rod in which the diamond is
located can be shaped up in the cus-
tomary manner. The fact that the
hole is slightly out of round prevents
the core of spelter from working out
of the end of the rod.
Introduced. Lilac to Europe.
There are men who in a lesser
sphere have been givers of gifts which
are enjoyed by millions, though their
own names may have slipped out of
the memory of the world, says the
Boston Transcript.
Such a man was Ogler Ghiselin de
Busbecq. He was born in the pleasant
town of Comines, in Flanders, now
half French, half Belgian, with the
River Lys between, almost four hun-
dred years ago and educated in that
university at Louvain which now, alas,
is laid low. Busbecq was a collector,
and, when he was sent by the Emperor
Ferdinand as ambassador to the Sul-
tan Suleiman the Magnificent, on his
return brought manuscript and coins
and plants home to Vienna. And
among these plants was the lilac.
Ancient Battle Standards.
It is probable that the first flag was
carried by the Saracens in their bat-
tles with the Crusaders, the latter
adopting the idea, which thus spread
over Europe. Long before that there
had been national standards, however,
as the ancient Egyptians carried be-
fore their hosts the.figure of a sacred
animal on a spear. A stuffed cat im-
paled on a sttck was the forerunner of
the banners now used. In the days of
the old Persian empire a blacksmith’s
apron was carried aloft at the head
of the army, while the standard of
the Turks was a horse’s tail.
How He “Hedged.”
He—Artists say that five feet four
is the divine height for women.
His Darling (crossly)—You know
that I am five feet nine.
He (quickly)—You are more than
divine.—Ecndon Tit-Bits.
