HUNTING CARIBOU. One, Shot Through the Heart, Kan Two Hand red Yards. The caribou is very tenacious of life, says S. W. Watts in Collier's Weekly, writing about hunting these animals in Newfoundland. My companion used a 30.40 Winchester and the writer used an .8 Mannlieher. With such strong guns we were seldom able to stop a big stag with a single shot, even when hit in a vital spot. One that the writer shot through the heart ran with the rest of the drove for 200 yards, as though he had not been touched, before collapsing. When we opened him, he had only one bullet hole and his j heart was cut in two. Another went about the same distance on the jump i with both fore shoulders broken and a bullet through the neck. On several other occasions the stags when hit went off with such strength that when they Ml they dug their antlers in the ground and turned complete somersaults. The first caribou we killed was a fawn. We picked him out because we wanted meat. and. being young, we thought lie ought to be tender. In fact, however, his meat was almost useless —lean, tough, stringy and very dark ; in color. This was difficult to under- 1 stand, and the guides, for some reason, i were unable to offer an explanation. I However, I learned the reason later. It appears that during the mating season the fawns are weaned. The old stag, driving the fawn away from the mother, will strike him with his horns and chase him half a mile. As soon as the stag gives up the chase and turns back to the doe the fawn will return; then the stag will chase him again. This is kept up for eight or ten { days, witli the result that front worry, violent exercise and change of diet the meat of the fawn becomes for a time unpalatable. THE APOSTLES. Emblems Heetoweil 1 poll Them by the Mediieval Artlata. The medimval artists, having no idea of the personal appearance of the Saviour’s followers, adopted a set of signs, or emblems, for each, which soon be came familiar to all. The emblem of Peter was either a large key or two keys crossed, which is readily explained by referring to the words of Christ (Matthew xvi, 19), “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” The emblem of Paul was a

sword and a book—the latter to remimi the beholder that he was a teacher of men, the former to indicate that he was beheaded with a sword. St. Andrew was usually figured standing by a cross shaped like a letter X, that being the form of the cross upon which legeud says lie was crucified. The emblem of St. James the Great was either a sword, referring to the fact that lie was also , beheaded, or a pilgrim’s staff, he being ' a great traveler. St. John’s emblem was a caldron, re- 1 ferring to his experience in the boiling ; oil. St. Philip's emblem is an enigma, j It was a spear and u cross, yet it is known that lie was hanged. St. Bartholomew, who was "flayed alive,” Is represented with a knife and his skin hanging over his arm. Matthew’s em- 1 blem is a square, supposed to have some reference to Christ's calling. St. Thomas, having been pierced with a dart.” is pictured carrying a spear. The emblem of James the Less was a club be having been “beaten to death
