THE CHAMOIS.
Ways of the Shy Animals of th Moun
tains of Europe.
Exciting sport, the more exciting be
' cause of the hardships connected with
it. Is offered by chamois hunting In the
mountains of Europe. Tbe chamois
are found everywhere in the highest
mountains of Germany, Austria, Swit
zerland, In Transylvania, in the Car
pathians, also in the Alps, and these
extremely shy animals are regarded by
all true huntsmen as the most desir
able of all game. The chamois be
tongs ,to the antelope species; but, un
like Its kin of the broad plains, It pre
fers the barren wilds of the high moun
tains, and, like the mountain sheep, the
ibex and the mouflon, It selects In this
territory full of chasms and canyons
the most impassable regions as Its lair.
During the summer months tho cham
els roams in the higher altitudes, but
in the winter time It must descend to
And Its feed. After feeding It returns
to Us old Impassable nooks, where It
feels secure. As In the case of the
deer, the male Is called a buck and the
female a doe; but unlike all other ani
mals of this kind, both sexes are flutter
ed, the horns being called "krle!:e!or."
but those of the doe are somewhat
lighter than those of the buck. The
doe brings forth one fawn every year,
sometimes two, but very seldom three,
which are very dearly loved by the
mother nnd which she protects against
all dangers. Outer's Hook.

INDIAN LODGES.
Homes of the Savages In tho Days of
the Buffalo.
While In buffalo days some of the
wllu Indians of the plains occupied per
manent dwellings during a part of the
year, there were others who lived whol
ly lu movable lodges.
These were made of buffalo skins
taniied white and sewed together. They
"were of different sizes, the poor occu
pying smaller lodges, while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses, very
likely had a large family and required
a larger lodge. The size of a man's
lodge was to some extent au Indication
of his wealth. Two horses were need
ed to drag the poles of a large lodge
and one to carry the lodge Itself, three
horses for the transportation of the
dwelling alone, to say nothing of the
other property and the different mem
bers of the family.
A lodge of moderate size required
eleven Bklns, and eighteen poles were
needed to set It up. A sixteen skin
lodge required twenty-two poles. The
larger the lodge the greater was the
number of poles needed. From the
fact that they used an unusual number
of poles in setting up their lodges It re
sulted that the C'heyennes had well
stretched, nice looking lodges.
The northern Cheyenncs declare that
an odd number of hides was always
used for the best lodges, and the num
ber might raiife from eleven to twenty
one. The skins were sewed together
with sinew thread. Hrst, of course,
the hides must be tanned, the hair re
moved nnd the skin softened. Then
the Cheyenne woman held a sewing
bee which was not unlike the bee3
of our ancestors in the early days of
this country. She Invited her friends
to come and help her sew her lodge
and provided them with refreshments.
Among them was always one woman
especially skillful in cutting out the
lodges, and die fitted the skins together
before the women began to sew them

HOLDING A CAMERA.
8ome Practical Suggestions to the Be
ginner In Photography.
One of the most Important lessons
for a begluner to learn is to hold the
camera In the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must lie
held absolutely level. If this Is not
done, the building In tbe picture will
appear to be falling either backward
or forward, according to the way In
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however, when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage,
lu some cases it Is nil absolute neces
sity. For example. In photographs of
clouds, waterfalls, balloons, etc., tbe
camera may point upward, while In
taking pictures of people swimming
or bathing, children at work or play,
etc.. It may lie pointed downwnrd.
Very successful photographs of
prominent speakers, purades. crowds,
etc., have been taken when the camera
was upside down. It xvtkes no differ
ence lu the negative whether the cam
era Is right side up or not. By holding
the camera In the way suggested many
a photographer has secured good pic
tures, while others who tried to use
the camera In the usual way made ab
solute failures.
Often by holding the camera by the
side of the body and pointing It back
ward one may secure pictures of chil
dren at play nnd of older people In
natural poses without the knowledge
of any memliers of the griup.
Another warning to I e Tinners Is nec
essary. Do uot try to take a time ex
posure while holding the camera In the
hand. Even If the cmiicrn Is held
against the breast and respiration stop
ped tbe action of the heart Is sulllcient
to cause the box to vibrate und spoil
the picture. Circle Magazine.

THE MOON'S VOLCANOES.
Causes of th Gigantio Craters and
Great Fissure Eruptions.
It Is evident to any one who glances
upward at tbe moou that Its volcanoes
nre on an Immensely larger scalo than
those which stud our globe. One ex
planation, now abandoned, is that the
force of gravitation being there only
one-sixth thnt of the earth the matter
expelled from a crater would be spread
far more widely, and explosions would
be genernlly on a far more uiagnlllceiit
scale. Professor Pickering quotes this
theory only to refute It lu some com
parisons which be mode between the
great volcanic region of Hawaii and
one of the smaller craters of the moon.
Tbe facts seem to hlra to be that the
larger craters on tho moon came Into
existence when the thin, solid crust
covering the molten Interior was, ow
ing to the solidification and contraction
of the crust, much too small to contain
the liquid material. The craters were
therefore formed by the lava bursting
through the crust and so relieving the
pressure. Lnter, after this relief had
been found and the crust had thicken
ed, the Interior regions by cooling
shrank away from the solid shell,
which was now too largo and, belug

sult.
There is no better rule for good health
than that the bowels should move eyery
day at the same hour if possible. Regu.
larity can be acquired by making a habit .
of this. Foolish people neglect this and
when chronic constipation effects them
they take pills every few days to force the -bowels
to perform their natural function.
As years go on they require more and
more pills. This should be stopped.
Cooper's New Discovery will build np
the stomach and cause the bowels to aot
naturally. While taking the medicine get
the habit of regularity, then gradually
stop taking the medicine.
Here is a sample oi letters from those
who have tried it:
"For sixteen years I have suffered from
stomach and liver trouble, and chronio
eonstipation. I had frequent headaches
and always felt tired and worn out. I
heard of Cooper's New Discovery and
began its use, After I had finished one
bottle I was wonderfully improved. Con
stipation gave way to a pleasing regularity
of the bowels and I ate better, slept bet
ter and felt better than I had for months.
It is the greatest medicine I have ever
