The mule deer of Colorado, xr "black
tail," as it is often called, is now ia its best
season for sportsmen. The prominent marks
of this variety are those which give the
name immensely developed ears, a thiu,
iwitchy and brush-tipped tail, a gray and
black color, and a general air of sagacity
and knowingncss not belied by his behavior
in the field. The females bring forth their
yonng some time in June, durinc which the
males, having shed their horns, seclude
themselves. "While in the velvet the horns
are very tender; wound them and they
bleed. Their celatinous substance in July
is a dainty tidbit to the fortunate coyotes.
Gradually, lime is deposited, the tips
harden, the blood ceases to circulate, the
velvety covering splits opens and peels off,
the animal hastening the process and the
sbamening and brightening of the points by
industriously rubbing them upon the
bushes and trees, until in the bright late
October davs, armed and exnlting in his
strength and sleekness, he is all ready to go
a-courting; and the does, as if aware, and
owninc, too. the soit influence of the season,
lorsike their fawns and hide away in brake
and dell.
Until cold weather really sets in the deer
frequent the high feeding grounds among
ihe'niountains, but as the season and sug
gestions of snow approach they begin to
come down over the passes from the parks
and to gradually work south, "banded" and
led by the old Ducks, and making their way
to the warm and sheltered wintering places
south of Pike's Peak.
Xo end of time and patience are necessarv
when one is followed and "brought to bay."
It demands a start before dawn, and a tramp
of perhaps many miles before a killing shot
can be n:ade, unless the hunter has a heart
to put a bullet into a little fawn or doe cum
bered with maternal cares. Frequently the
only evidence the hunter has of his vicinity
is the break-neck clatter and crash, suddeu
as an avalanche, in which the alarmed ani
mal seeks safety and at the same time warns
ail of its fellows. The best plan then for the
hunter is to take another tack, in doing
which he may possibly find his came doub
ling upon his flank, particularly if he strike
for a higher ground.
It is a singular fact that as long as a buck
knows that he is not observed he will stand
and eye a human being with great com
placency. The moment, however, the eye
rests upon him, or there is a suspicious
movement, be is away like a dart. O ten
he uill lie and lazily watch the approaching
enemy, as. gun in hand, he labors along
through fallen wood and rocks, and, after
perhaps half hour's enjoyment of the
game of hide-and-seek, the search getting a
little too warm, he will at once jump fioni
his lair, his feet leaving the exact imprints
in which they have rented perhaps for hours,
, clear a huge rock or log and disappear.
It is a most interesting thing to see one of
these deer get up on its legs. The tremen
dous pjxtensor'iimscles contract with all the
poner and facility rest and warmth have"
given tl-eui, and the plump body, like a
well-inflated rubber ball propelled by a vig
orous kick, flics lightly into the air. The
simile is home out as it seems abcut to dc
rceud; light as thistl- down it uears the
earth: another giant impulse from an unseen
power-r-crash and again it describes its
Jisht parabola; crack bump thud thud
thud each time fainter than the last, and
your surprise is all that remains.
Attacked l)j an Alligator.
James Shaughnessy, of Canton. Miss.,
had a narrow escape a few days ago, while
crossing the ISIurwater, says a dispatch to
the St. Louis Globe-Vanocrat. He was
crossing in a dug-out with a single oar
when an alligator rose suddenly just under
the little craft, and, rushing to the surface,
upset it. thus throwing Shaughnessy out.
The dug-out sank at once and the gentle
man strucK out for shore, when the saurian,
which had missed him, caught sight of him
and rushed at him luriouslyr. Shaughnessy
managed to regain his feet, but found that
the spur on one ot his boots had become en
tangled in a root or something ou the bot
tom, and it was while endeavoring to dis
engage himself that his loe seized his other
foot in its jaw.
Luckily this was incased in a rubber boot,
through which the great teeth of the allil
lor could not cut, and alter worrying this
for awhile, relinquished it and snapped at
the tipper part of his leg. Shaughnessy,
who had been brought to a sitting posture
by the seizure of his tree foot, and with dif
ficulty kept his head above the water, here
caught the paddle of ihe boat, which had
fluated within his reach, and dealt the alli
gator as hard a blow as he could on.the
nose, and while he broke the oar, succeeded
in driving off the brute. It returned, bow
ever, in a lew moments, only to receive
a tremendons poke with the sharp
end of the broken paddle, to which
Shaughnessy clung desperately as the only
means of defense within his reach. The
creature, enraged, caught the oar in its jaws
and tnapptd it in two, and, dropping the
lr.itrir.ents, rushed at Shaughnessy, who
gave himself up for lost, hut before the
'gator reached him a teamster called Buck
Rosenthal, who was driving past, seeing his
peril, jumped from his wagou and, wading
into the water with only a pocket pistol in
his hand, placed the weapon close to the
creature's head and succeeded in wounding
it severely. Rosenthal called to Shaughnessy
to get out of the way, and dodged him
s,elf as tne plunging, maddened creature
flung itself about with snapping jaws; but
Shaughnessy, held last still by his spur, was
only able to escape it by laying flat on the
bottom as long as possible, and. onlv rais
ing up for a breath of air. This exhausted
him, and several times he barely avoided
the furious onslaught of the 'gator. The
alligator measured 10 feet and some inches
in length.
A Bear on a Canal Boat.
"The queerest thing I ever saw a bear
do," said an old resident ot the Wyoming
Valley.as quoted in the New York Tribune,
"happened on the West Branch Canal many
years ago. Inastakiuga round trip with
the owner of a boat in October, and we hsd
delightful weather all the way. One part of
the canal lay in a three-mile stretch
of oak and chestnut forest, and toward sun
down we struck the woodland. There was a
steep mountain on one side of the canal, and
the owner of the boat and I were admirin"
the 1 eautiful glow of sunset on the opposite
hills, when ire saw a black bear shamble
ont of the bushes and strike the towpath
only a few feet from the stern of the boat
It stuck up its nose and sniffed, kept com
ing, closer to the boat all the time, and
acted as if it wanted to come on board.
There ws a ton or more of honey in the
boat, and the owner said that the bear had
evidently got a sniffof it and was hanker
ing to gobble some of it up.
"ifo one on board had a shooting iron of
any kind, so for nearly half a mile we
watched the bear and let it have its own
way." It continued to follow ua and to sniff
-with its nose raised, and the way It acted
amused us all. When we had cot well out
of the woods the driver reported that'tbe
bear had left the towpath, struck into the
public road, circled aronnd and crossed a
bridge over the canal. -My host audi were
sitting on a bench looking at tbe' moon from
tUcstern ofthe boat. When thc boat got
under the bridge we heard something heavy
strike the roof behind us, and looking around
quickly to see what It was, there stood the
bear facing us. It was sniffing loud and
moving its head from side to side as though
it was trying to spy ont wbatits nostrils had
scented. ind before my companion had time
to think what to do with the bear Jack gave
a veil and dashed at tlie bear with a club.
He hit it on the side of the head, and was
going to deal it another blow; when the
bear up with one of his paws and knocked
himlheels over head into the canal".
"Then it began to nose along the floor in
search of the honey it had smelled, and we
both pitched at it and mauled it over the
head with iron bars. The bear turned tail
and began to bellow like a bull, .dodging
Irom one side cf the lioat tolhe other. We
followed it ud and pounded it so hard over
the head and shoulders that it rnshed past
us tumbling over everythingiu its way, and
sprang from the side of the' boat, scrambled
up the bank and went down the towpath
toward the woods. The owner of the boat
tied up lor the night right away, and Jack,
who had crawled out ot the muddy water
without any assistance, lound that lie had
been so badly thumped by the bear that he
couldn't use'his right arm at all. We got
him aboard and put him to bed, and the
next day he said he was sore and lame all
over. He stayed in bed for four days, and
during the rest of the trip the owner had to
steer the boat himself."
iovo of the QnalL
A sportsman who has just returned from
quail hunting in tbe neighborhood of
Forked Elver, If. J., tells a very pretty and
pathetic story in the New York Times.
"One atternoon," he savs, "the dogs came
to a point at the edge of. a large field adjoin
ing a thick brush. As -I approached, a
covey of fully 40 birds rose at long range.
One bird fell at each barrel, and a few
seconds later one bird, evidently badly in
jured, was seen struggling over the brush
some distance in the" rear of the flock. The
dogs could only find one dead bird, and
alter some time spent in fruitless search for
the other I concluded that it bad risen after
its fall and was the bird I had seen tagging
on in the rear of the flock. About the same
hour the next day I returned to the place',
and almost on the same spot the dogs came
to a point.
"AhaI"I thought, 'you ate here.again,
my beauties;' but I was rather surprised
that the birds did not rise . as I nearer! the
dogs, fori knew it was 'wild' game I had to
deal with. That there were quail.at hand I
knew well enough from the attitude of tbe
dogs, which bad the rigidity that comes
oulv of the actual presence ot real game.
At length, when I was quite close to tbe
dogs, a sincle bird rose a' few leet away. I
fired before it had flown a dozen yards, and
it tell stone dead. "When the dogs lound it
I perceived that it was a heu. Then the
older of the two dogs trotted back to the
spot where It had risen, and immediately
came to another point AsT walked cau
tiously toward tbe dog, wondering if she
could be deceived by a 'lake scent, I saw a
large cock bird sitting within six inches of
her nose. I actually had to kick him up,
and then he rose and flew with such diffi
culty as made it at once apparent that he
was injured. He fell dead at -one barrel,
and examination showed he was the same
bird that had followed the flock with diffi
culty on the day before, and a touching
story of bird love and fidelity was revealed.
His right pinion had been injured between.
tbe tip and the nrst joint ny a single shot,
so that it was impossible for him to fly more
than a short distance.
"At the family council after the disper
sion ot the previous afternoon'it was decided
that the covey should change its feeding
ground for the coming day to a distant field,
where the hunters would not be likely to
think ot looking lor it, and as , this particu
lar old cock, on account of, his injury, must
perforce stay behiud, tbe 'ben of his heart
decided to remain with him.. Such an
exhibition of devotion oh the part of these
birds made me heartily sorry that I had
killed them, but unfortunately it was not
fully revealed to me until after they were
both dead.
Calling Turkeys In Texas.
My friend and I went on about 400 yards
from where we had left our other hunter sta
tioned, and sat down to listen, says a writer
in Forest and Stream, describing a hunt in
Texas. Daylight was now full upon us; we
waited for five or ten minutes, but we heard
nothing. The wind would sometimes lull
for.a while, which enabled us to hear if one
should gobble. We moved on a little
further and sat down again to listen. This
time we were rewarded for our perseverance,
for there came doirn the glade a sound that
electrified u. To me it was like wine; it
was the "gobble, gobble, gobble" that I re
membered so well in early days. In a mo
ment all tuy early instincts return, and
the exclamation escapes me, "You are my
bird."
The gobble sounded much farther away
than it was, owing to the wind blowing in
the contrary direction. We moved a little
nearer and selected a'plnce of concealment,
I taking my position .behind a prickly pear
bush, whost large lan-like leaves were so
arranged as to make first-rate windows to
see through. My friend acted as caller, and
I only had to wait and watch. Immediately
in front of our position was a Invel v open
glade, which ran in the direction "of tbe
gobbler, and which we felt confident his
lordship would take in coming to his lady
love. Being comfortably fixed, with gun in
position and readjr to fire at a moment's
notice, I gave the word to my friend to pros
ceed with his part of tne programme.
He commenced an imitation of the call
of the turkey hen, a sort of yelp or ke-ouk-ke-onk-kc-ouk.
Quick as a flash came
the deep sonorous gobble in answer; and
alter a few puffs and struts behind his
screen he came out into the opening in fall
view about 100 yards dirtant 'A challenge
yelp from my iriend "heads him our way.
Slowly and majestically strutting, so
proudly that he seems mlniost to disdain to
tread tbe earth, he bears down on us, totally
unconscious of the fate in store for him.
Another velp starts him in a trot, which
brings him within 35 or 40 yards of where I
sit, and as this is quite near enough I raise
my can to my shoulder. The" motion, al
though very slight, catches his vigilant eye.
and he halts, raising himself to his full
height, all alertness.- Alas; "too late for
him. A sharp report, a puffof smoke from
the cactus bush, and what A minute before
was a vain, boastlul, arrogant gobbler now
lies before us a bunch or leathers and the
basis of a good dinner. We shouldered him
and started ior the rendezvous" quite satis
fied. Killing a ranther.
An immense panther, which 'has been
prowling about Westchester county, between
Bedford village and "Katonah, during the
past month, has been killed at last. The
animal had terrorized the people over a
large extent of country. Children refused
to go to school alone, and had to be, escorted
to and from tbeir homes bj adnks. Many
flocks of sheep were greatly reduced in
size, and the fat geese, turkeys and chickens
which mysteriously disappeared were almost
innumerable. The brute did not,-however,
seem to have been satisfied with such small
game, for in several instances- heattacked
full-rrowu cattle during the night and next
morning the owner would be dismayed at
finding their mangled carcasses in tbe field.
It remained for Farmer George Green to
settle the matter. He was taking a stroll
around his farm last Saturday, says the'
Kew York Star, when he espied a
large, strange-looking animal tearing
at the carcass of a heifer a short
distance off. It was one of Mr.
Green's bei.erslwhlch the beast had just
killed. -The farmer, remembering that he
owned five large mastiffs, lost no time in
calling them to the scene. The panther left
his feast on seeing' them, -approach and
headed for the, woods. The .dogs pursued,
and after a long chase cornered their prey.
Thus brought to bay. the big beast showed
his teeth and faced his pursuers. Tbe en
tire pack ot dogs rushed upon him. They
had not calculated, however, on their oppo
nent's immense fighting powers. f
The struggle that ensued was a terrific
one. Tbe panther inflicted some horrible
wounds on his foes, and before he gave up
the mangled bodies of two of them were
stretched on the ground. Ho was greatly
weakened, however, by the teeth of the
dogs. He managed, , however, to get away
to the woods, with the blood dripping both
from pursuers and pursued. The panther
was chased to the estate of the Hon. John
Jay, where it took -refuse. While the dogs
kept watcb, Mr. Green procured his gun,
and taking careful aim he shot the panther
dead. On being weighed- subsequently it
was found to tip the scales at 375 pounds.
A Wild Duck Took the Bait
A gentleman well known in Innerleithen
as an efficient angler recently went out for a
last cast for the season. He seated hlmselt
behind a bush to keep out of sight of the
fish, and after a few unsuccessful attempts'
to land his "fly" over the most likely place
he at last got it floated to his taste, says the
Pali Mall Budget. Some moments of sus
pense followed, and then 'all at ouce there
was a tug at his line. He gave a gentle
pull, and was expecting the fish to muKe lor
the center of the pool, when, to his amaze
ment, a wild duck flew out of the water and
nride lor tbe woods with the angler behind
holding ou to his rod. .Unwilling to lose
his precious "Jock Scott," the fisher pur
sued his winged prey through a field, and
then slipped his foot and tumbled into a
ditch, while tbe bird made for a neighboring
plantation, carrying with it nearly 20 yards
cf line.
A Depraved Fire Horse.
One of a pair of horses belonging to the
Baltimore Fire Department, says an ex
change, hag developed a taste for beer which
would make a Prohibitionist weep for the
weakness of tbe brute nature. He takes his
beer with the relish ol a regular, and holds
the glass between his lips while sipping the
fluid. He also eats tobacco with evident
relish. The horse nips off a piece when the
plug is held out to him with tbe dexterity
of an expert, and "never bites a larger piece
,than he can chew." The horse has also
been taught to wipe his mouth upon a band
kerchief alter drinking a glass of beer, tak
ing it irom tbe pocket of bis keeper for -tbe
purpose. He can also open the latch ot a
door as quickly as a person.
A Steer Whips a Bear.
A correspondent of a .Russian paper de
scribes a duel between a she bear and a
steer. A young herdsman was tending his
cattle in the meadow lands of a village near
Kieff when be was attacked from behind by
a she bear, accompanied by two cubs. Tbe
herdsman, who was armed only with a whip,
had not observed the approach of the bear
until tbe moment of attack.
After a short struggle the herdsman was
thrown face downward and the bear had al
ready lacerated his scalp and back when a
young steer from the drove came to the res
cue, butting the bear with violene'e in the
rear. The bear now turned upon its assail
ant, but the wonderful dexterity and agility
of tbe steer in avoiding the embraces of the
bear and the vigorous onslaughts it made
whenever tbe bear rave an untrnarded
chance, soon decided the contest The bear'
beat a retreat to the neighboring wood, fol
lowed by her two cubs. ,
The steer looked for a few moments, some
what astonished at bis antagonist's retreat,
and then sprang off in pursuit Before the
second cub had reached the cover of the
wood it was butted and trampled to death
by tbe steer, which then quietly trotted off
to rejoin the drove. The herdsman's in
juries were serious.
Mayor Grant's Good Shot
Mayor Grant has the reputation of being
a mighty huntsman. But he laughs at
many of the stories that are told about his
hunts. "They are all romances," he says in
the .New York Marning Journal. '-'I like
to go after deer When I get tbe chance, but
as tor the adventures I am said to meet
with, why, they are all in tbe minds of the
writers. I never had any adventures."
But the Mayor was hard pushed to recall
just one adventure, and alter a lew moments'
self-communion he said:
"Well, it wasn't an adventure exactly,
but it was a novelty in the way of a shot, so
I'll give it to you. It was up in the Adi
rondarks, and I was loaded for deer. I saw
a beauty standing with its eyes blinking in
the sunlight Taking aim, I fired. 'But
at that instant my intended prize took it
into its head to back up a couple of leet or
so, and the shot went crashing through its
antlers. Well, it ycu will believe it, both
antlers snapped off, and a calf-deer that I
had not seen fell dead in its tracks."
Carried Off by a "Whale.
An extraordinary story of a whaling ex
perience has just been received at Liver
pool from San Francisco. The sailing
whaler C. W.Morgan, after a successful
cruise in the Arctic seas, reached San
Francisco on the 10th inst. It was theu
stated by the crew that they had lost six of
their comrades during a whale hunt. When
in the Okbotck Sea during some squally
weather a whale appeared a short distance
from the barque. A boat was lowered in
charge of a second mate and manned by
five seamen. The whale was snccesstully
harpooned, but it made off at a great pace,
carrying the bpat along with it. The last
seen of the boat was about a mile and a halt
off the barque, when it was lost to sight in
tbe distance and darkness which came on
suddenly. That night it blew a heavy gale,
and it was feared the boat must have got
swamped. If the boat could have outlived
the gale, there was a possibility of. the men
being saved, as the boat contained six days'
provisions ior all nands.
A Housebuilding Fish.
In Lake Kyassa, in the interior of
"darkest Africa," there is a black fish which
every year builds what the natives term a
house. In the mud at the bottom of tbe
lake it makes a hole some two or three feet
broad, heaping up the mnd removed from
the hole so as to form a little wall around it.
Tbe depth of the hole and the height of the
wall measured together makes a basin from
15 to 20 inches deep.
7n this lake within a lake this queer little
fish erects a mudhouse, tbe average-sized
specimen measuring 11 inches across the bot
tom, rapidly coming to a point in the shape
of a broad cone. A bole 4 inches in diameter,
always on tbe south side, served as an open
ing for egress and ingress. A dried specimen
of the queer domicile, preserved in the
Royal Museum at Berlin, has two doors and
a partition separating it into two rooms.

Some Notable Friends Tell Us That it De

From the Philadelphia lCecord.
Eev. Dr. Deems, the well-known New
York divine, says that 20 years ago he was
CO years old, but that to-day he is "70 years
young." Whimsical as it may seem, the re
mark embodies a certain wise philosophy.
With too many men age is a matter of habit.
There is no law of physiology which con
demns a man to inactivity of miud or body on
reaching his septennial. The foremost states

Youth is largely a "local question" an
individual matter; it lies far more in one's
self, in modes of living, and in the main
tenance of a cheerful and serene habit of
life, rather than in the lapse of years. Dr.
Holmes has lately done well in telling us
how to grow old gracefully. Dr. Deems has
done better in telling us that we oughtn't to
grow old at all.

PROSPERITY' FROM THE HERRING.
The People Were a Lonjr Time in Catching
up With Civilization.
ANTIQUITIES OP GREAT INTEREST
fCORBESrOXDEUCI OT THS DISPATCH.!
Shetland Islands, Dec. 2. Although
these far-away islands belong to Scotland,
and though mercantile interests and inter-'I
marriage for 400 years show a marked Scott
ish, and especially Highland Scottish, in
fluence and similarity of customs and man
ners, the Shetlanders refuse to consider
themselves, or be called, "Scotch." They
have always been "Shetlanders." Thus' it
has always stood, and stands to this day
with resolute obstinacy.
Both the Shetland Islands and the Ork
neys lying between the Shetlands and Scot
land, originally belonged to the old Scan
dinavian kingdom of Norway and Den
mark. In point of fact they still do. That
is, they were never formally transferred to
Scotland. When, in 1468,JamesIII.'of Scot
land took for his bride Margaret, daughter of
Chribtian I. of Denmark, both groups of
islands were merely assigned in "wad
set," or as a pledge for Margaret's dowry.
This form of mortgage has never been re
deemed, nor has it ever been foreclosed, un
less time mav be said to have done so; and
if at any time the 32,000 people of the Ork
neys, who derive their name, Orcadians,
from the islands' ancient name, the Boman
Orcades, and the i:0,000 souls of Shetland,
Zetland (ancient Norse, Hjaltland, or high-
Lland) should at any time desire to renew
their allegiance either to Denmark, or to
Norway and Sweden, nothing existing in
international comity could justly oppose
tbeir doing so. .There are 56 islands, islets
and holms in the Orkney group, 29 of which
are inhabited; and the Shetland group com
prise 100 islands and islets, of which 28 are
peopled.
THE OLD NOSSB GOVERNMENT.
In remote parts of both tbe Orkneys and
Shetlands much ofthe dialect of tbe natives
is so impregnated with Scandinavian words
and idioms as to b very difficult for even
Highland Scotchmen, between whom and
these folks there are strong affinities in
speech and customs, to understand. At the
time these islands were pledged (o James
III. for the payment of Margaret's dowry,
it was distinctly provided that Norse gov
ernment should be continned and that the
"law of St. Olal" that good saint who is
not dead but sleeping, and biding his time
to return with all power and greatness for
Norway should prevail. A relic of this
ancient system is found in the "peerie
lairds," or little lords, who still hold and
may transfer their lands by word of mouth,
do written doenment being required. These
are to-day the only absolute freeholders of
lands in both island groups.
The herring-fishing industry has within a
few years given both the Orkneys and
Shetlands unusual prosperity, and as tbe
total cafch of all fish on the Shetland
coasts now equals one-third of the entire
annual catch lor Scotland, it would seem
that the Scotch were destined to reap as
great rewards from this source as formerly
did the Dntch. Previous to the British
imposition of salt duties in 1712 the fisheries
of Shetland were in the hands ofthe Dutch,
who, it is said, derived an annual profit of
515,000,000 Irom the same, or the enormous
profit during their entire control of $1,000,
000,0001 Other industries of the islands are very
noted hosiery and various knit fabrics of
marvelous, pattern and delicacy of texture,
sheep raising, regarding which most inter
esting tales are toldof Jhe .carrying-ofl
abeep for summer grazing to almost inac
cessible and uninhabited islands, and the
native cattle have been improved by a cross
with tbe southern shorthorns and the Scot
tish polled Angus. In the Orkneys there
are of late years many extensive and ex
cellently cultivated farms, and during 1880
over 20,000,000 eggs were exported.
A SALUBRIOUS CLIMATE.
The salubrity of the climate in both these
island croups is remarkable. Though so far
north that in the longest day of the year the
sun rises at a minutes past d, setting at zu
minutes past 9, a newspaper can be read at
midnight and the lark begins singing at 1
o'clock in'thc morning, and in the shortest
day there arc only 6 hours and 7 minutes
between the rising and setting of the sun,
the mean temperature is as high as 4G de
grees. This is undonbtedly owing to the in
fluence of the Gulf Stream. Spring begins
in April; summer terminates about the
middle of September; and then after a few
weeks of blustering weather there is a month
of the most beautiful and genial weather,
answering to our own "Indian summer,'"
and called here "the peerie summer;"
"peerie" in Orkney, Shetland and Fifshire,
Scotland, meaning "wee," tiny, little, or
brief.
It was not very long ago that the Orkneys,
and especially the Shetland Islands, were re
garded as wholly remote Irom and inac
cessible to the civilized world. As late as
1804 the British mails for three or tour
months' time would arrive at the same hour.
The first steamer appeared off the Shetland
coast in 1832, the peasantry believing it to
be a ship on fire; and it was not until 1847
that one waf seen in the ports of the North
Isles. They still hve many anecdotes here
ot the effect of its arrival at Lerwick. A
sample one is that on the occasion of tbe
craft blowing off steam-with great noise, two
simple islanders engaged in gathering limp
lets off the rocks, nearly went mad with
fright At length, surveyirig the "fire-ship"
monster with desperate dismay, the strong
minded of the two handed his snuff horn to
his companion, with the exhortation:
"Oh, Jamie, Jamie, taue doo a snuff, for
doo'l snuff nae mnir wi me till we snuff
thegitber in gloryl" -He thought the
"great day" bad come and that tbe angel
was aboard the steamer, trumpeting the
signal for universal dissolution.
rOPULAE "WITH TOUKISTS.
European summer tourists have within a
few years come here in great numbers. On
the Continent, and especially in London,
now that the lochs and glens of Northern
Scotland ryive been pretty well explored,
there is an - increasing enthusiasm
in penetrating northernmost regions.
Only this season periodio excursion
parties to Iceland were organized
with .great success. The spirit
of adventure, easily and pleasantly grati
fied, the grand and magnificent rock
scenery, especially ol the western seawalls
of both island groups, the fascination ofthe
fierce tideways and whirlpools with which
the coaits abound, locally' called "roosts,?
the grewsomeness and grandeur of the out
lying islets and holms, the occasional roar
ings of the Atlantic, which, may often be
heard for a distance 6"t 20 miles as the bowl
ing storms beat upon rhural precipices of
the western shores, and, above all, probably
the grandest free fishing in tbe world, in
Shetland, where the lochs and tarns which
communicate with the Sea, are alive with
brown trout, and the voesand gios indent
ing the coasts swarm, with sea trout innumer
able, have all contributed in rendering
these remote island; easyof access.
SKIKTINO THE COAST.
One may take train to Aberdeen, and
thence by steamer to skirt the eastern Scot
tish coast, touching at Wick, In Caithness,
and Kirkwall, on the Orkneys, and reach'
Lerwick, the capital of Shetland, in 24
hours' time from Aberdeen. This is a
coasting trip full of incident and interest,
as the coast Of Scotland is always in sight.
Leaving Aberdeen's harbor-mouth of the
river Dee, a hall hour's sail brings you
abreast of the great Slain's Castle, tbe seat
ofthe Earl of Errol, where Dr. Johnson and
Boswell were entertained in 1773, one ofthe'
grandest situations oa the entire eastern
coast. Then for a lonif distance the coast is
a' reach of soft, honey-combed scaur, assum
ing at frequent intervals the appearance of
Gothic ruins with open arches. This leads
to the famous Bullers (roarers) of Buchan,
tremendous caverns in tbe precipitous sea
wall, where in high gales the waters rush in
with terrific yioleuce, while their roaring,
mingled with tbe shrieking of sea fowl,
which build along tbe edge ot Dun Buy in
myriads, give the spot as dolorous and
dreadful sounds as those greeting the doomed
Vathek in the awful realms ot Eblis. .Be
yond tbe "Bullers" to tbe north the noted
red granite quarries of Peterhead come in
sight. Aberdeen, Peterhead and Wick.are,
outside of Shetland, the most important fish
ing ports of Scotland,- and in sailing from
the former to the latter fully 1,000 cralt may
be counted in pleasant weather.
STILL HAVE TO USE. LIGHTERS.
At Wick, where the gigantic breakwater,
on which uearlv half a million dollars were
expended, is in ruins, landing passengers
and freight is dangerous business in winter.
Lighters arc employed, and the huge ones
ior lreight are known as "bnllboats." Wick
was formerly the herringopolis cf the world.
Even now its population of 8,000 souls is
doubled during tbe fishing season, and as tbe
distinct and individual smells of our own
odorous Gloucester and Eastport, of Ire
land's Galway, of England's St Ives and
ai mouth, and Scotland a jNewnaven seem
to have concentrated here in a palpable pall
of pungent pollution, penetrating every
cranny of Wick's long and crooked single
street and banking into insufferable stenches
in her dark side alleys, wynds and closes.
You cross the wild waters of Pentland
Firtb, and a two hours' sail brings yon to
anchor in the harbor of Kirkwall. This
quaint old city, whose ancient name was
Kirkjuvagr, or "Church Bay," is built on
either side of a long, narrow, winding street
at the foot of an overshadowing hill. Its
one great object of interest is the Cathedral
of St. Magnus, founded by Bognvald, Jarl
of Orkney, about 550 years ago. Near it are
ruin; of former noted buildings, the Bish
op's and Earl's palaces. In the latter can
still be seen the fireplace and outlines of the
great banqueting hall, where, in tbe
"Pirate," Scott places the scene of the in
terview between "Jack Bunce" and "Cleve
land." But you could hardly be induced
to tarry long in the Orkneys unless fasci
nated by its Pictish antiquities. On no other
equal area in Northern Europe, possibly ex
cepting Carnac, in Brittany, can such num
bers and variety be found. Within an
hour's walk of Kirkwall are excellent ex
amples of chambered mounds and eirde
houses or earth excavations, stone-roofed.
MEMENTOES OF AGES GONE.
From nine to 15iniles west of Kirkwall,
in tbe vicinity ot Stenness and Stromness, a
vast number of extraordinary Pagan relics
are found. The Orkahaug, or "mighty
howe" ofthe Orkneyinga Saga, stands near
the great stone ring of Stenness. This tum
ulus is in the center or a circular platform
800 ieet in circumference. A truncated
mound 40 leet high covers a chambered bar
row 54 feet Jong leading to a central vdult
15 teet square and 12 feet high; no doubt a
sepulchral vault for Pictish Kings. The
standing stones of Stenness and Brogerare
but a short distance away.
Within a date necessary for historical
authentication these weird monoliths formed
as marvelous and ghostly a host of past-age
memorials, as can now be seen on the plain
of Carnac, Brittany. The tremendous stone,
called the Watchstone, was standing as late
as 1814, and the gigantio "Stone of Odin,"'
stood within the memory of man
iust uorth of the Bing of
Stenness. This was the lamous
stone mentioned by Scott in "Tbe Pirate,"
through a huge hole in which Orcadian
lovers plighted their troths. The little
island of Ezlisba, to tbe north of Kirkwall,
has one of tbe eighth century round towers,
such as are seen throughout Ireland. In tbe
island ol Hoy is the noted "Dwarfie Stone,"
28 feet long, 11 to 14 broad, and 2 to 6 feet
thick, in which many centuries ago were
hewn two sleeping apartments, one with a
stone nillow. attributed to the dwarf
i"Tro!ed" in the northern sagas, but un
doubtedly a gigantic heatnen altar. At
Burrav, a little island to the south, is a
massive "broch," precisely similar to the
famous Grianan of Aileacb. near London-
raerry.'lreland. Its walls aro about 20 leet
tnicK, cuamDerea, j.o jeet uigu, auu iu.
structure is 40 feet irdiameter. It was both
a Pictish place of defence and sepultnre for
incinerary urns containing ashes of the
dead, from 2,000 to 3,000 years ago.

The ten years I hare spent i n America

While I have made a great many intimate
friends among American gentlemen, I must
say that music never would have made the
strides it has except for. the women; and, as
men look for models in women in all other
matters, we are'compelled to do so in re

HOW'TO MAKE TEA.

Abused Beverage.

IWBITTBXTOB TIM DI8PATCII.
"A housekeeper" having requested me to
give her some directions about the use of the
tea ball, I very cheerfully offer the follow
ing suggestions, with the hope that they
may be of inteeest not to her alone, but to
other housekeepers.
The tea ball (or steeper) is a hollow ball
made either of -wire gauze or of thin per
forated metal. In the. latter case gold aud
silver are often the.metals chosen. Tbe ball
is about the size, of a walnut made to
separate into two pa'rts which open on
hinges and ckisp closely together when tbe
parts are shut When tea is to be made with
the ball, it is filled with the dry leaves, then
clasped, put in a Chinese tea urn, the boil
ing water poured on, and the urn closed
tightly. A few minutes steeping from 3
to 5 18 all the time required. Tea made in
this' way is perfectly made . since
all the aroma U retained. Some
of these balls have slender chains
attached to them, which are suspended,
when in use, from a ring worn on a finger
ol the right band. The ball filled with tea,
sufficient for one person, is dangled back
and forth in a. cup of boiling' hot water
until the tea is of thn desired strength. The
ball is then withdrawn and its contents put
into the dreg bowl.
POINTS OK TEA-MAKING.
If a good cup of tea is expected there are
sonfe essential things that cannot be over
looked, after a choice selection of tea is
made. Tbe water-for tea-making should be
freshly drawn, whether from the well, tbe
spring or the hydrant It should be poured
on the tea the "moment the boiling point is
reached some say just a little before that
time. Water that has remainedjlong stand
ing or long boiling will not make good tea.
Tea-making should be a quick process the
quicker the better. The bitter tea served at
niacy tables is the result of boiling or of
steeping-too long.
The tea ball is used for making tea at the
home table and for "atternoon teas." The
"afternoon teakettle" (which comes in all
shapes and desigus) with alcohol burner is
indispensable for making "Chinese tea," as
there must be 'a constant supply of freshly
boiled water on hand. As to the tea used,
especially for tbe informal, hospitable and
delightful "afternoon tea," it is entirelv a
matter of taste, some preferring the En
glish breakfast served in Bussian style
that is, with cream, Inmp sugar and thinly
sliced lemon; others still holding tenaciously
to the Formosa Oolong, which is really con
sidered tbe finest tea tor this purpose. The
fashion, which is now indeed a custom, of
"afternoon teas" ba's come to us from Eng
land. The English, you know, became a
nation of tea drinkers by virtue of their
monopoly of tbe East India and China tea
trade. The colonial Americans separated
on that issue when they threw out tbe tea in
Boston harbor.
ITATIOKAIi DRINK OP AMERICA.
But bygones are bygones, and observant
persons who appear to know are asserting
that in no remote period tea will be our
national beverage. It is certainly used
more generally now than at any previous
time. The relreshments served at "atter
noon teas" are of the most simple "kind,
hence their popularity. Bread and butter
sandwiches thinly-sliced, crustless bread,
brown and white wafers or tea biscuit,
any one of these may be offered with a cup
of tea. For more formal occasions pound
cake or any'soliJ cake, chocolate and cof
fee may be added.
In reply to an additional request, I
would say that a good recipe for plum pud
ding will be given with the Christmas menu.
Tbe "cheese dishes" here given will bear
trial. They are not ordinary, though inex-.,
pensive and very simple in preparation.
