GOING LIKE THE BUFFALO Prairie Chickens Are Growing Scarcer Every Season. They Hava HB Iadlarrtoalaatvly felaagh tered by lluatera How thw Fow l Protect Thttm- The exhilarating sport of hunting' the prairie chicken on the plains of the west will .soon be as extinct as that of shooting buffalo, says an Abilene cor respondent to the New York Advertiser. . The quick whir-r-r of the bird w heard h-ss and less frequently, and the hunt ers encounter a far jjreater wariness than of old. Only a few year airo and the sportsman was in clover when he reached the prairies of Kansas. Spe cial cars with hunters aboard, stopped in the ruidst of the level plains and when the men came back it was with shoulders heavily l-ulen with the tooth some and attractive (fame. Hut the heartless and indiscriminate tilauphter, in season and out of season, to which the different varieties of jrrouse and quail have been subjected during the past decade has almost ruined the sport on the plains of Kansas, Ne braska. Iowa and other sections of the west. To be sure there is yet (fame, but it has so decreased in quantity that the present season see not one-tenth the amount that existed a few years since. There is little sport more enticing than the shooting of prairie chickens or pinnated jrrouse. Nothing can be compared to it except the hunting of the wild turkey. While turkey is sought in the timber of the Imttom lands the prairie chicken lives boldly out on the plain, ami trusts to his keen ness of vision and rapid flight to pro tect himself. To creep upon a flock of the fowls at home is a sijjht to bo re metnliered. The rich, plump bodies of the hens, shading from dark frrayish brown on the breast and winps to a lilfht pray neck and dark head, and the larger build of the males w-ith the ds tintfuishinp lon(f black feathers on the neck, reaching down like the ends of a yoke, make a delicious contrast fur the lover of a ride with the green of the prairie sod. They are larjre enough to make a (food, legitimate prey; they are excel lent eating, tender, rich, jyamey. Hut their outposts hear you and a quick, cluckinj? warning is fiven. In an in stant every head drops, the bodies crouch close to the pround and ap parently disappear. Unless you are a practical hunter you will declare that half a second has su diced for some of the birds to sink into the earth. Hut they are all there. This one lehind a little grass clump, that in a tiny hollow made by some pony's foot, another spreading its winjrs as it squats at the base of a weed stalk. To the amateur eye it ii remarkable if without consid erable search more than two or three can lie detected, so closely do the colors of the birds blend with the shadows and tints of the sod. The professional knows that they are all there and the bunch is speedily Hushed. In an instant they rise atiout you as if suddenly created from dust. One was less than a yard from your feet, yet you did not see it. Their flight is a peculiar one. Rising to a height of from twenty to fifty feet, they take a horizontal course, churning' the air rapidly with the stumpy wings until momentum is acquired, then sail ing with outstretched pinions for many rods. A prairie chicken is never awk ward or ridiculous except when in the air. On taking1 flight the birds do not, like quail, go as a flock, but radiate in every direction, so that he is a good gunner indeed who makes both barrels count. The prairie chicken is non-migTatory, and. like quail, turkey and rabbits, might be preserved for all time if af forded a reasonable amount of protec tion, (i rouse and quail can stand a comparatively close settlement of the country, at least one as close as most parts of the west will admit of. and with the proper enforcement of rigidly drafted game laws, as well as a manly forbearance on the part of the sports men themselves, would preserve the now unequal ratio between the increase and slaughter. As it is now there is practically no protection, and from June to Decomlier the markets of west ern cities show forbidden patne. It is not alone gTouse, but quail, wild tur keys and other varieties suffer. Poach ers go with dops out of season and bring in loads of the pretty game, and it finds its way mysteriously into the stalls of the cities. Kansas and Nebraska have laws pro hibiting1 the killing1 or offering for sale of birds except from September 1 to January 1. Yet so flagrantly has the law been violated that it has become necessary for sportsmen's clubs to offer purses for information regarding viola tion in order to prevent entire extermi nation. It will take but a short time to put an end to the sport at the present rate of decrease. The famous civilian scout Hurgess. who is attached to the government post in Yellowstone park, gives some inter esting facts regarding the increase of game since severe measures have lieen taken with the poaching trapper. The elk, he says, are now in such abundance that they promise to give game to the hunter in season for many years to come, while the buffalo are increasing to such an extent that the park will soon be well stocked. The same kind of vigorous measures will be necessary if the western prairies are not to be stripptil of the smaller as they have been of the larger game. How the Kale Kd. In South Carolina, where everybody is a born aristocrat, rules of court pre scribed that not only the judges but the attorneys must wear robes in court. Against this rule the leader of the bar his name was I'etigree stoutly re Wiled. He constantly appeared in court in the rough costume of a planter, and the judges pretended not to notice it. One day, however, when he was leading counsel in an important case, and he rose to address the court in his usual pepper and salt, the presiding judge felt compelled to draw his atten tion to the rules of court regarding the attire of attorneys. Petigree smiled and observed: "I understand 5'our honor to say that the rules of court must be ex ecu ted." The judge bowed. "Then, sir," said Fetigree, holding the rules in his hand, "I read this rule: 'The sheriff shall attend this court in cocked hat and sword. I now draw your at tention to the sheriff there. His hat is cocked, but most certainly his sword is not." FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN. Accordion-plaited skirts of vailing or cashmere with guimpe waists are worn by small girls. Tam O'Shanteiw are coming into fashion again for youngsters. They are inade in fancy velvets, plush and wool materials. Il.rsn is again coming into use for milliucry, especially for children. The tiny plush bonnets, with plaited fronts or in poke shape, are extremely becom ing. Dressy frocks for girls are composed of fine white woolen or light-colored silk, draped low over a chemisette of embroidery, and with undersleeves of the same, the full upper sleeves being of the dress stuff. Such dresses are al ways made with broad ribbon sashes knotted at the back. Lydia E.

The police regulations in England are very different from those common in this country. The policeman there is not nearly ro autocratic as he is here, and would never think of nsinp a club or fctrikinj? a man except in Relf -defense. J. Oilman Speed trives this story of their mild sway in Frank Lesiies Weekly: I'pon one occasion a man came into my onice and created a disturbance. I ordered him out. He declined to po, so I sent for a policeman. A sergeant came. I said to him: . This man does not belong: here, and refuses to leave my office. Will you please take him out?" I expected the serjreant to tell the man he must po, and then, if he did not move on, 1 expected to see the oflioer re move him by force. Not at alL The serpeant said: "You had better leave here, sir;" and his tone was as respect ful and civil as though he were asking-a favor. The man manifested no intention of leavinpr. and the police officer ht-pan an inquiry as to his reasons for wanting to stay. This so exasperated me that I put the man out myself, jrreatly to the as tonishment and apprehension of the of ficer. He explained to me that I had no rijrht to interfere in the matter I had brought to his attention: and that doubtless the intruder would fret out a warrant against me and have me ar rested for assault. HINDOO WOMEN. Ketnarkahle for Thrlr Iteaoty. Though llavinic Itartmrir ( ulnnn. The women of the dark-skinned Hin doo race are remarkable for their phys ical lieauty. lie low the medium heipht (from a European standpoint) their car riage is erect aud excetHlmply graceful. The lonp, swiiipinjr motion which they affect in walking is produced by their habit of cerryintf all kinds of merchan dise on the head. The Hindoo head is small and the face is refined, with deli cately chiseled features. The hair, "woman's crowning plory," is blue black anl very abundant. It is worn parted in the middle and drawn down straight behind the ears, beinp coiled at the back of the head in a heavy knot. They practice the barbaric custom of piercing the nose, through which a jrold or silver rinp is inserted. The tinkers of the small black hands are usually covered with rinps of various kinds, while silver bracelets adorn the slender wrists. Kinp-s are worn also frequently on the toes, and the women are seldom seen without heavy silver anklets. , The sinple frrinnent worn by the Hindoo women consists of a long scarf, always of some white material, which is dexterously woven about the body until it forms a skirt, and what looks like a sleeveless jacket. Their caste is denoted by the color of the mark which the priest of the Brah min religion places each morning on their forehead. KEYLESS WATCHES. Ingenious ontrivanrt-e for Making lo-krt Tlmrpirrn Mlf-Winding. Keyless watches, now so popular, have long been known, but have not leen in general use more than a dozen years. Napoleon I. was the owner of a wonderful specimen of this species of keyless timepieces. It was con tinually kept in running order by a small weight at the eud of a lever which worked on a weak spring. Kvery step taken caused a small "dog" to drop into the cogs of a tiny rachet wheel, this in turn acting on the barrel to which the mainspring was attached: ordinary movements almut the house were sufficient to keep the spring tight ly wound up. In the Kensington museum. London, there is a pelomcter. opcratil in a similar manner, com bined with a watch, so that the one instrument tells the time and the dis tance walked by the wearer in a day or any other given time. There is a watch on exhibition at the I'uited States patent office which is wound by the simple act of closing the case. It alsn has an attachment that throws the winding device out of gear as soon as the spring is well wound up. BRAIN ACTION. A I'rofoeeor Has Found Out Fxaetly How Rapidly We Tliink. Ilelmholz showed that a wave of thought would require aliout a minute to travel a mile of nerve, and Hersch found that a touch on the face was rec ognized by the brain and responded to by a manual signal in the seventh of a second. He also found, says Drake's Magazine, that the speed of sense differed for dif ferent organs, the sense of hearing be ing rcf-ponded to in the sixth of a sec ond, while that of sight required one fifth of a second to lie felt and signaled. In all thise cases the distance traversed was aliout the same; so the inference it, that imatres travel more slowly than sounds or touch. It still remained, however, to show the portion of thi interval taken up by the action of the brain. Irof. Oondcrs, ly very delicate appa ratus, has demonstrated this to le about seventy-five thousandths of a sec ond. Of the whole interval forty thou sandths are occupied in the simple act of recognition, and thirty-five thou sandths for the act of willing response. How to I. lent w Solid Itody. Cadogan Morgan was the first elec trician to experiment with electric light in solid Ixidios. This was ia 17s."i. He' first inserted two wires into a stick of wood and caused the spark to pass le tween them. This had the effi-ct of illuminating the stick a lieautiful blood red. An ivory ball, an orange or an apple may be lightod in the same man ner. Some experimenters prefer the lemon for this purpose, it Wing very susceptible to the electric discharge, tlo-shing forth at every spark as a spheroid of brilliant golden light. The wires used for this purpose should be brought within aliout half an inch of each other inside the lemon. The Wonder of K-roluctton. Aphides are a species of minute insect lielonging to the -order of Heiniptera, suliorder Homoptera, and, taken col lectively, 1(H) of them would hardlj' weigh a grain. Now, let us try a com parison. The average man, we will say, weighs about 2.(MM,(X)0 grains.' Yet 'it has been found, by actual calcula tion, that if these minute insects were left unchecked to only the tenth gen eration, the descendants of a single pair would le equivalent, in point of a" actual weight, to 5O0.0o0,lHK) very heavy" men. This would be equal to one-third of the population of the glolie, suppoa- ing each person to weigh an average of' ISO pounds. o Spooning In the (irerlan lalea. Describing marriage customs in Kaso, one of the must southern islands of Greece, E. M. Edmonds, in the Eastern and Western Review, says the parents upon both sides take upon themselves all the responsibilities of courtship and marriage. Courtship, as we understand it, is not in any way permitted to the betrothed couple. No moonlight walks or tete-a-tetes are allowetL Such a course would lie deemed highly repre hensible, and all wooing, if there lie any, must take place in the presence of the elders; but there is no great time for repining at these decrees of custom, for tire marriage follows the offer as quickly as may be. .

It was a lloston newspaper which m:u!c its dramatic critic say: "The toast for Irviup, like the toast for olives, r.iust lie cut elevated."

This is an ape of extreme rapidity, and the passion for speed in every form of movement appears to prow more in tense with every year. The demand for the savinp of every minute that can possibly lie saved in t rossinp the ocean is so stronp that the steamship lines have felt compelled to build bipper and swifter steamers one after another, al though the outlay involved has ben somcthinp prodipious. So marked prop rcss has already been made in cuttinp down the time required in crossinp the Atlantic, and so many vessels have al ready been built or ordered, that iu a few years the transatlantic llect, for the hiiiuIht of hupo ships employed, for the marvelous celerity of their pas sa;'"S, for the splendor of their appoint ments, for the luxury of travel by water, will exemplify the marvelous de velopment of the nineteenth century in a way that must miphtily impress the whole civilized world. But, accordiup to the New York Tribune, it is not onl v on the water that people wish to move with the preatest rapilit3 that is con sistent with safety. The anxiety to pet from one place to auotlier with the least possible delay is characteristical ly American, and the American rail ways are constantly improvinp their service. They did not advance with much swiftness in that directum until within the last score of years, but th steps onward that have been taken by the railroad corporations in that time are notable indeed. The limited ex-press.-s runninp between the principal cities of the country have far surpassed the most sanpuine expectations of the railroad mauapers and the railroad pas senpers of a quarter of a century apo. America is now ahead of the rest of the world iu the swiftness of her railroad trains, and if it were not for the haste which Americans are so passionately fond of in traveling it is not at all like ly that so powerful and rapid vessels would have been required on the trans atlantic line. . .
