;uey vent so far as to wioit aniPry'to
'raw iww, uuu once or iwico, wnen wo
urne.1 out to sou what was up, we
caught bight of some object moving
uliimt in tho shadow of tho pines that
friiuinl tho littlu mountain park in which
we had pitched our camp.
This object wn uaturully mppoeotl to
n bear. After the night wo got treed
by the seven griz.lien, however, we were
i;!l-(lred careful about chasing bears
tlirouh tho timber by moonlight. At
first we never thought of associating tho
appearance of this hear with Sagebrush's
music, any more than thinking erlui)s
it might have been attracted by tho
noise. Hut one evening tho Knglinh'nun,
who hailed from India, was telling alxiut
tho way tho Hindoos caiine tho sarpints to
como n-vimling und hiiwiiig out of their
holes, swaying their heads for joy at hear
ing the musio of a tluto. In talking this
over, it then dawned upon us that Sago
Lrush's musio might have had something
to do with attracting tho bear to the
edge of tho park.
We poked a good deal of fun at Sage
brush about his power of fascinating
boars with tho mouth organ, and none of
us, at tho time, regarded the matter as
anything more thuu it good joko. It
happened, however, a day or two later,
that wo Btruck a lli-bt rute opportunity to
put it to tho tost, and so found out that
musio hath charms even to a bear;
charms that, if properly used, may easily
lure him to destruction.
One night tho mules broke looso and
cleared out. In tho morning Bagohrush
and I followed their trail down through
the timber and on out into the prairie.
While crossing a sort of a level inlet of
prairie between two spurs we saw a fam
ily of five cinnamon U'iirs playing to
gether right out on tho ojwn. Tliero was
no cover but a few knee high clumps of
grease wood and ono sinuous little dry
watercourse, a mere washout, barely
eufllciout to hido a person crawling on ail
fours.
We were liolf a milo or moro from tho
bears when we Hint saw them. Thoy
were having a quiet gamo of tag, now
you've got me and now you ain't, all to
themselves, and had no idea of anybody
being within 100 miles. Dropping down
into tho washout, we held a brief con
sultation as to what we had better do.
Plainly there was only tho one thing,
which was to crawl along tho watercourso
until it should bring us near enough to
uso our 'Winchesters with good elTect.
"Looks like a pity to soil their play,
though, don't it?" suggested Sagebrush.
"bo it does," I agroed; "but it would
be a still greater pity to let them get
away," and bo w started on up the
washout. The bears were so absorbed in
their play that we had no difficulty in
seeping up unperceived to within 200

Their ruouths flew open as wide as steel

They didn't seem tho least bit seared or

Ihe waning moon was near tne laht
tpiarter, und iiad only, just risen over .tie
mountains, but in the trnnspmant atmos
phere of the Big Horn ntounlnWwj the
light wns almost equal to that of a full
noon in tho Mules. Winchesters looked
to and everything all ready, tho signal
was given, and Sagebruhh commenced to
play. M e had taken our camp stools in
with us, and no sat thero ns comfortable
as if we had In-en in tho tent n-Iistening
to tho music. As a matter of fact, wo
wtro but carrying out tho u:nial evenitvr
programme, except l regards pobition
and less talk.
To draw a simile that tlown casters
will understand, may bo you might im
agine Sagobnih.lt to be that young fellow
Ilofmr.mi, who has lieen playing n piano
at tho Jletrojxilitan Opera house, New
York, and us four in nmhutsh the audi
ence. Young Hofmann, according to
tho papers, is a good der.l of a corker,
but in his particular lino you can lict
your bottom dollar that Sagebrush can
play all around anybody that over wore
hair. For a while tho woods seemed full
of music opulent with melody. Tho
first tune ho turned loose wtw, "I'm a
Sojcr." As tho wild, sweet strains of
"I'm a Sojer" sonrcd through tho silent
moonlit mountain air, the listening pines
appeared to catch np tho notes and pass
them on and on until you could hear, or
seem to hear, them llonting away in
lingering melliduoiiHness for miles.
Uight thoro amid the pines tho English
men allowed that tho music was affected
much tho samo ns when it is played on
tho wnter. Howsomever that may l,
tho mouth organ sounded a heap more
melodious thim wheu played in the tent,
ond all agreed that when Sagebrush
liked to tuno himself up properly ho won
mighty hard to beat,
"I'm a Sojer" hnd been played twico,
"Tho Arkansaw Traveler" onco, nnd the
joyous strains of "Mormon Angels" were
making the piuo needles quiver in sym
pathy, when we saw something move
across a little open opaco nUmt 100 j arda
away. Sagebrush very evidently saw it,
too, for "Mormon Angels" was never
played before nor since, I reckon, as
ertly as ho reeled it oil up among tho
branches of that piuo true for tho next
few minutes.
Pretty soon wo saw tho object move
again, this time a littlo nearer. Before
many minutes it showed up still closer, so
that we were able to make it out as a big
brown bear, and that "Mormon jVngels''
was gradually charming it along toward
our position. On it canio, nearer and
nearer, right up toward Sugebrush'a tree,
now and then halting to twirl arouud,
cut up playful didos, just as the cinna
mons did on tho prairie, to rub his head
against a tree, and give vent to its feel
ings. Sagebrush pluyed on, oidy a littlo
more soft and ravishing liko, and the
first thing we knew the bear was stand
ing bolt upright underneath his tree.
looking up, a twitching its ears and a
drinking in the musio.
All at once the bear seemed to give
way to an impulse of reckless abandon,
as though utterly unublo to restrain its
wild, exulierant passion for melody any
longer. The way it capered about under
that treo, turned lumbering somersaults,
hugged iinugluury objects in its arms,
worked its paws up and down, rolled its
head about and weaved its big hairy
body was enough to tickle the risibilities
of an Injun.
For a moment Sagebrush stopped play
ing. As soon as the musio censed the
bear stopped w.Julng around, looked up
fpcalin -!j like and cowrnonoed to whin

"omethlng o utterly ludicrous thnt thoy
well nigh upset their camp stools with
inward merriment. As Sagebrush didn't
start playing again quick enough to suit
tho old bear, ho shaped himself for climb
ing the tree "scaling the balcony" ono
of the Itritishera allowed in a whisper to
tho others.
Tho three English sjiortsmcn seemed
mightily tickled nt this last movement of
tlm big brown bear, a heap more so,-1
reckon, than Sagebrush did, for brown
bears muko no trouble nUmt climbing a
tne. Tho musio commenced again in
pretty short order, and "I'm a Sojer"
was rattled olr with sucli astonishing
vim nnd execution that tho Britishers
nudged ono another in tho rilm, nnd
neatly shook off their moccasins with
suppressed mirth. They allowed nfttr-
ward, in explaining tho reason of their
merriment, that It was like liomeo nnd
Juliet, HHplo, I think they said, who
used to luing out somewhere In the old
country years ago, and serenade each
other by moonlight, climb balconies, and
generally cave around.
I tinny as the old bear nnt ics seemed,
wo were, of course, ready Willi our m-
chestcrs to keep him from climbing the
tree; but it is easy enough to imntdne
that Sagebrush was n trille curious In his
own mind as to how wo were, just nt
that moment, viewing the situation.
However, us Boon as he commenced play
in;; again the bear quit whining, let go
tho tree, nnd again turned loose, with
every demonstration c' approval that a
lien r ever made.

A VlilsllliiR Luu Kiiage.
At a recent meeting ol a.. .Tij-JJp ..ln
throK 'logical society, Lieut. Qucdciiielus
lectured on tho uhistlo luuguago lisetl
on tho flomera Island. During somo
mouths' stay in the Canary archqcl.igo
the lecturer was nl do to learn tho nature
of this language, which is a sort of js-nd-ant
to the drum languages of Ciimarooii.
Thero nro no fixed whistles or signals.
Tho Oomero cm carry on any conversa
tion hyitu ans of whistling, nnd bo un- I
dcrstotxl by the ersiin with whom be is ;
conversing a milo olf. The whistling is j
quite, articulate, ami is u kind of trans
lation of common speech into whistling,
each syllable having its peculiar tone, so
that even foreign words cuu bo whistled.
The vowel.-i o, 1, y aro moro loudly
whistled than n, o, and u; and if a con
sonant ia at tho ond of a word, for ex
ample, "Juan," tho a is whistled in a
rising tone. Tho Oomero either uses his
fingers or his lips when whistling.
The practice is only common on tho
Oomera Island, nnd is not found in tho
other six Islands of tho archipelago.
The reason may be the peculiar geological
construction of tho island, which is trav
ersed by many deep ravines and gullies,
which run out in all directions from the
central plateau. They aro not bridged,
and can often only 1 crossed with great
difficulty; so that people who really live
very near to each other in a straight line,
have to mako u circuit of hours when
they wish to meet. Whistling has there
fore bocomo nn excellent menus of com
munication, and gradually assumed tho
proportions of a true subbtiluto for

Tarls Sewer Clonulnj System.

are all constructed with that end in view,
workmen can carry on their labors with

as to facilitate the work by the dillereiTt

sower or gallery is sometimes constructed
abovo tho main conduit by which a par

THS DUFrALO QUESTION.
A Solution Whlrli f-hull tie Adopted r.t
Onee A Mmiltobu Herd.
There b no fittest inn in Taxidernil-t
Richardson's opinion that the liulTiiln is
now well nigh extinct on tho plain:!.
There nro n lew In Yellowstone park pro-
leetcd by the government, but thoy nre
likely to bo killed nt nny time. In Texas
a herd of about thirty Is owned by ono
ranchman; several other small bunches
may lie found, but the days when they
rambled nt Inrgo over tho country have
locn iiumlicrcd. Unless some means ol
protecting them is ndopted within tor.

an extinct PMvies, In Central park Di
rector Conklin has several pccinietiH oi
buffalo, but the cow is growing old nnd
another one h:is not Urn Mruml. The
buffalo will not breed in captivity tinlcs.4,
like other duun'siic nnimals, it has almn
dniit room fur feeding and exercise. Ia
Central p u It the aniiual.-t arc confined in
narrow utahs liccntiso tho spaco at the
dl.-o;il of the manager is so cramped.
Thcf" i i il practical (solution of the bitf
fal uuestion, Mr. Hiehardson think.
wliiih. if adopted at once, may prevent
tin' extinction of t lie nniinal. The blif
f.ilues nre easily domesticated, nnd If ac
customed frum birth to domestic mr
routidings, they become quite ai en-y to
control ns ordinary domestic caitle. In
tho northwest, where the winters nro
long nnd the thermometer t-inl.s Is luw
zero at the slightest provocation, butTalo
ntibslst without any discomfort, while tho
winters there nro generally fatal ti
domestic cattle unless housed und looked
nfter with tho greatest care.
"In Manitoba. " said Mr. Hiehardsnn,
"thero is a herd of about fifty buffaloes
owned by 8. L. ISedsou. Erneht E.
Thomiwon, who is nssistiug mo in the
museum, has written nn interesting nc
count of them in n recent pmnphht on
tho 'Mammals of Manitoba. A portion
of this herd nre half breeds, cros'i d with
common cnttle, another port ion nre three
(uarters bred, nnd the rc?t ore pure
blood. It may !io a question whi ther
tho puro brex'd will continue itself, but il
certainly could bo maintained if looked
nfter. This herd hat developed from
five buffalo calves, brought by some In
dians from Viniiis'g in 178. It re
quires no care beyond what is necessary
to keep tho different animals from wan
dering or lielng stolen or shot. The buf
faloes tne as hardy ns in their wild state.
Mr. Thompson saw them lato in Janu
ary last year, when they wero able to dig
down iu the snow and find gr.isi enough
to keep them fat. During a hli.jud
they would lie down in a (Troup, with
their backs to tho wind, nnd let the snow
drift over them. Tho snow and (heir
woolly coaty kept them perfectly com-
fort.ible. In Jiuiuary, lHsl, one of tho
cows calved iu the oiien.tijauie. wheru

It needd no argument to thow that our
penal system is us hud as it can be. Prob
ably one-half of those incarcerated could
bo made excellent citizens without lielng
disgraced. Of the other hulf a largo part,
by a courso of wise discipline, could be
lifted out of tho runks of vice and crime.
At present a man once in stuto's prison is
pretty sure to us buck again soon alter
his release, and his incarceration only
linrdons liiin. Tho only pardoning power
now rccogmzod as nosible is that lodged
in the hands of our governors; a wcr
that Is gonorauy exercised wilii CJscretion
and ends in vast good. We ciumot too
soon eradicate tho idea of Thidictivericfls
from our penal system and substitute
therefor the idea of reforiuatlou. Cllolw
