SHE RODE FOR FUN.
"JIni," said I, bwikiiiB in upon liin
ditty, "what wan tho yarn yon wore go
tag to toll about the timo yon niginoer
ed that EngltHh hunting party through
the Boar Puw mountains?"
Wo wore riding along the trail which
stretches its serpentina length nt tho
foot of tho eternally grand old Rockies
between Forts MoLood and Calgary on
a bright, warm aftenuxm in January.
When they have a "chinook" out there,
sporting in its rude, boisterous, yet
withal genial fashion, through tho deep
defiles of tho mountains from over tho
Pacific, with a miublo liko Niagara at
a distance and a force which mukos yon
button your eout up tightly to keep it
from blowing off, tho snow soon van
ishes oven iu midwinter, and tho ther
mometer jumps from "40 below" to
"temperate" so suddenly that you won
der if tho sun has not wheeled himself
several degrees out of his normal course
at such a season or tho broath of an ap
proaching prairie fire is not funning
your check.
Tho singer gave the wad of tobacco
in his juw a twist with his tongue and
aimed an amber jot at a "bulldog" on
his homo's ear before turning upon mo
a pair of glistening eyes, with black
points set in saucers of milk, a short,
impndeut nose and a rather weak
month, round the corners of which
lurked a musing smile. Then, after a
pause, he said :
"Oh, yes. Well, Littloflold was the
chief of the outfit, an he hed his wife
along fine, spankin woman, good to
look at There was another Englishman

if it was pitch dark, he was so iufunul
black. Yon might as soon git this here

Ton see, he was a 'pilgrim never been
on a layout of this sort afore, an he was
that blumod tender a gout would nibble
him.
"But, I b'leeve, to talk Christian, I
, was partly re-sponsible for h! bein so
extruy-ordinury skittish. He sta'ted
oncet or twicet fer wuter after uight to
a crick quite handy, sho'tly after we
went into ramp. I jest stepped off 15
paces into the pines on lot a 'yee-ow'
or two out of me, an Jumbo, he throw

.Jim lay back iu his saddle and sent a
pful ' echoing tip among the foothills
which shook" tho" few lingering traces of
soft snow from tlio branches if tho
spruces.
That Jim was a "mulo skinner" does
not imply that ho was oxjwrt at remov
ing hides in tote. Simply that he be
longed to that select biiuch of frontiers
men whose superlative boast is that
they can drive or rido "anything thai
wears hair" that ho was passed muster
in tho craft f teaiusteriHiu.
Ho adjusted tho pistols in his belt,
gave a forward tilt to his broad rimmed
buckskin hat and a hitch to his fringed
leather "chaps," and kicked his big,
jingling Mexican spurs against his cay
tise's flanks before resuming:
"But I was u-goiu to tell yon 'bout
Mis' LiTflrld. She was u mighty fino
woman, as i said before, an well put up
fond of out of door sport an of ridiu
in partic'h r. Well, one bright, warm
tnorniu LiTflcld an Wells went off
hunt in, an I got orders (I was teamster I
an guide to tho outfit, you know) to I
move camp acrosst the 'divide' about
SO mile iu tho meantime. So, after I
breakfast an tho dishes hod been wiped,
WO packed u tho outfit an struck camp,
but it was well on in tho day beforo we ,
pulled out. ,
"Now, Mis' LiTflrld hod a spankin I
bay boss specially fer her own use. I .
hedn't no objections to her ridin, of I
co'se, not commonly. But you know it j
ain't jest nice to bo roll in down a
blamed eo'kscrcw mount'in trail after
dark an gettin into ramp late an hevin
to plant yer touts an square things out,
cut yer hiudlin an git yer wuter by cat
light an wait till 9 o'chx'k, nicbbo, fer
yer supper. This was what hed happen
ed different times through Mis' LiT
flcld. She nllers wanted to 'ride' when
wo shifted camp an fullered tho wagou
on her bay boss. It was uude'stood that
when I was goiu too fust or hed got too
fur in tho lead she would wavo hor
haudkerchcr, an I was to slack up or
top till she ketchod tho wagon. So I
jost natterly 'lowed I'd givo her a song
an dance, hevin a pretty smart day
ahead o' mo uu want in to git into camp
early. Consekrutly I told tho nigger
who rodo with mo not to look back.
"When we sta'ted, of co'so tho fust
ten mile or so was up hill mostly, on I
couldn't travel extra fast, so it was
'bout 3 when we hit the summit an
everything hod went lovely. Then we
hed a little 'hand out, ' an the descent
begun.
"I didn't lose no time. The mules
stepped out gay mo a-p ppin the buck
skin among 'em oncet au awhile jest to
keep 'em chee'ful an in good humor, an
the hill well, chain lightniu could go
down with britchin. I hedn't went a
great ways when I heerd a fur off call
like a oovote got astray. Jumbo shifted
kind of uneasylike on the seat an
squinted sideways at me, but I was
a-whistlin 'The Gal With the Travail
Train, ' and didn't see nor hear nothin,
of co'so. Pretty soon the nigger he
couldn't set peaceful an onoonoemed no
longer an stealed a look behin. Then
he leaned forrard, 'th his han's 'tween
his knees, an chuckled to hissolf. I paid
no manner of notice. Now he screws
round again in his seat chuckles, an
twists a little harder, squint at me
sideways ngain, an says:
" 'She's a-wavin, Jim.'
" 'Set still, you blamed black breast
rd sandpiper, ' rays I. 'Let 'or wave, '
"Ho Mas tol'abtil quiet fer a sho't
space, whilo you might cut a pipe of

pretty faint now. Far back up the rooky
trail I could ketch the clear, sharp ring

sho says.

wanted to kick myself, to mako myself

half a mind to make Jumlm do it. But,
then, ho was a nigger, an didn't know

EARTHQUAKE SCIENCE.
Th IntornM Flrea of Ihtrth nit tli. Crsrk-
ln( mt tho Upper Croat.
It Iihs long been the popular belief
that volcanoes were the cuuse of earth
quakes, and many seienlists have held
to this theory, but Professor John
Milne, F. It. S., who has recently been
Investigating the causes of earthquakes
in Japan, in connection with the Uni
versity of Tokyo, made the statement
In a lecture that most of those shakings,
probably flfl pr cent, wore caused by
fractures of the earth's crust.
lie explained that the earth's crnst
was in porputnal motion, and the tremor
was eithorao slight us Id be impercepti
ble ot so great that It miglit plainly be
felt It is not, ho suid, necessary to go
to Japan r,i South America to study
srthquukes for uu earthquake in one
purt of the world enn, by proper Instru
ments, easily be recorded iu another.
"Th inside ul Hie earth is hot," said
Professor Milne, "and the crust is con
stantly breaking downwurd, and as it
accommodates itself to what is under
neath, the surfuco of the earth's crust
becomes puckered up, and mountains
and hills uro formed. When any inter
ruption takes plaoe iu the process of the
internal crumbling ot tho crust of the
earth, there is n subsidence producing a
violent shaking, which is called an
earthquake. If a big shaking takes place
in uny part of tho world, the motion is
sufllcient to be propagated over the
whole surfuco ot tho eurth.
"In countries where there nro volca
noes earthquakes uro lnutt frequent, but
they nro not all directly attributable to
the volcuuuos. When tho ground open
ing upward is near tho ocean ; or other
great body of water,' volcanoes are
found there, for volcanic action is due
to steam from water in heated rocks,
the water having souked through from
the surface.
"Iu Japan earthquakes, great or
small, are of such frequent occurrence
that poople there do not talk about the
weather, as they do almost everywhere
else iu tho world, but you aro asked
what you thought of the lust earthquake,
and there is much guessing and betting
ou tho earthquakes tliut me to come.
A Buy's Appearanos.
Ruth Ashmore, addressing herself to
"Thut Boy of Miuo" iu Ladies' Home
Journal, writes that his personal ap
pearance "should be good. You owe
that to yourself. And whether it is lit
the olllco or wheu you are out visiting
you should be a clean, wholesome
looking young mail. Cleanliness does
much toward godliness, uud a clouu
body aids a cleuu soul. It may not bo iu
your power to possess a dress suit, but
if you should not don't borrow one and
don't hire one. Brush up the bet clothes
you have, muke them iuiuiuoulute and
then enjoy yourself uud forgut your
clothes. Your linen can ulways bo fresh
and clouu, and your tie can be iu good
style and properly kuotted. Never weur
a loud scurf uud never wear imitation
jewelry. Gentlemen select plain gold
buttons, and simple gold links, and
scorfpius of the most modest pattern.
If you can ufford dress clothes, remoiu
bor never to uppour iu them until
after dark. You muy weur, us you like
best, either a lawn tie or a black satin
one, but the stiff little bow should be
looped by yourself and not bought ready
made."
Japaueaa Slualnt;.
Japanese musia is crude. There are no
written notes to go by In playing, nor
has the singer any "Do, Bo, Mi" to
piny by observation, imitution and prac
tice. Instrumental and vocal musio aro
always tunglit together, and by the sumo
instructor, who is either a ludy or a
blind mini, who bus received a musical
degree.
The singular method of practioing by
a young lady intent upon cultivating
her voice is thus described :
During tho winter the girl iu training
clothes herself comfortably, tukes a
samiseu a buujo with a square body,
pluycd with n plectrum of ivory nnd
ascends evevy cold night tho scaffold
erected on the roof of the house for dry
ing purpcseii.
There she sits for hours, sitting and
banging away, until she can endure it
no longer. Upon coming down she is so
hoarse us to be unable to utter a word.
This training is persisted in until bcr
natural voice has left her and a new
clear voico has been ucquired, which can
be heurd iu a storm. The girl screams
her worthless voice out sud away.
