Buffalo Hunting.

When Catlin exhibited his pictnres of Indian life, a little over twenty-five years ago, one of the most striking features of the collection was the representation of the countless herds, of buflalo that then ranged in millions ' from Mexico to the Hudson Bay ter- * ritory. In this year of grace the buffalo is almost as extinct as the aurochs, the bulk of the slaughter being done in the last ten years, and done so thoroughly that in a distance of a thousand miles a traveler was,never out of sight of a dead buffalo, and never in sight of a living one. The long-range rifle in the hands of the white hunter has been the weapon of destruction. The habit of the animals in keeping together in enormous herds made them easy to bo tracked; they possessed no great speed, nor did their senses enable them to-de-tect their foe at the distance which modern rifles will carry. The slaughter of them was thus not difficult, and as their hides are valuable, and their pasture grounds were coveted, the Western ranchman was not likely to be deterred by any sentimental considerations. To chase the buffalo on foot is a difficult task, the wildness of the country making the fatigue too great; the sportsman prefers to ride when en- t gaged either in looking for or pursuing his lordly game. It is not uncommon for parties who hunt for sport, if ponies are at hand, to change their large ordinary horses for the smaller and welltrained pony when the herd is in view. The hunters then approach carefully from leeward, keeping as much as possible out of sight. When concealment can be no longer maintained, they trot gently forward; the buffaloes gather together, stare at the intruders for a moment and then dash away. A race of about half a mile takes the pursuers up to the game; each singles out a victim, rides up to its left flank, and i fires, the pofiy wheeling sharply off to avoid any charge from the wounded animal. In this style of hunting the hunter has to be close up, almost touching the animal, for it is so tenacious of life that it must be hit in the right spot. The charge of a wounded buffalo is said to be easily avoided, and accidents are rare, although it is a good rule to be cautious when near one apparently dying or dead. The professional buffalo hunters use Sharp’s rifles, which are the most accurate and powerful, and good for half a mile and over, and at this distance, out of sight and hearing, they can lire shot after shot into the herd, which stands still in a stupid, amazed condition. As many as forty have been thus slain, the hunter scarcely changing his position. Of course, in this manner of hunting, the shooter dismounts, and, like a long-, range rifleman, lies down flat. AL-

though the heavy Sharp’s rifles, with their conical bullets, will go through anything, yet at these long distances they are not of necessity immediately fatal, and the wounded creature has to be put out of its misery by a nearer shot. When it comes to a halt, the executioner steps up and aims just behind the shoulder. The buffalo drops its head, straddles out its fore-legs, rocks to and fro, then pitches heavily on its' side, and all is over. The flesh of the cow or of the calf is good i eating, and can hardly be distinguished from ordinary beef. The most delicate portion of the bull is the hump meat, the strip of meat on each side of the backbone, which is juicy and tender. It is interesting to remark that a new species of buffalo is developing in the woody, precipitous regions of the mountain ranges; it shuns the open plains, lives in small herds, and is endowed with great activity, and is a clear case of the “survival of the fittest."— Harper's Bazar. >

Downfall of the Mexican Church.

With the downfall of the “Maximilian” or the “imperial” goverment, Juarez became the undisputed and also, to all intents and purposes, the absolute ruler of the country. This portion of the more recent history of Mexico has been detailed somewhat minutely, because the series of events embraced in it led up to and culminated in an act of greater importance than anything which has happened in the country since the achievement of its independence from Spanish domination. For no sooner had Juarez obtained an indorsement of his authority as President by a general election thau he practically carried out, with the cooperation of Congress and with an apparent spirit of vindictiveness (engendered, it has been surmised, by the memory of the oppressions to which his race had been subjected), the provisions of the constitution which he had been instrumental in having adopted in 1857. The entire property of the Mexican shurch was at once “nationalized” (a synonym for confiscation) for. the use of the state. Every convent, monastic institution, or religious house was closed up and devoted to secular purposes; and the members of every religious society, from the Jesuits to the Sisters of Charity, who served in the hospitals or taught in the schools were banished and summarily sent out of the country. And so vigorously and severely is the policy of subjugating the ecclesiastical to the civil authority, which Juarez inaugurated in 1858, still carried out, that no convent or monastery now openly exists in Mexico; and no priest, or sister, or any ecclesiastic, can walk the streets in any distinctive costume, or take part in any religions parade or procession; and this in tbwris and cities where, twenty years or less, the life of a foreigner or skeptic who did not kneel in the streets at the “procession of the host” was imperiled. Again, while Catholic worship is still permitted in the cathedrals and in a sufficient number of other churches, it is clearly understood that all of these structures, and the land upon which they stand, are absolutely the property of the govern-, ment, liable to be sold and converted to other uses at any time, and that the officiating clergy are only “tenants at will.” Even the ringing of the churchbells is regulated by law. All those rites, furthermore, which the Catholic Church has always “classed as among her holy sacraments and exclusive privilege, and the possession of which has constituted the chief source of her power over society, are also now regulated by civil law. The civil authority registers births, performs the mar-

riage ceremony, and provides for the burial of the dead; and while the church marriage ceremonies axe not prohibited to those who desire them, they are legally superfluous, and alone have no validity whatever.” —j Popular Science Monthly.

Recipes for Happiness.

Cultured, educated people have not become so in a day. They have grown so gradually. It is a lifelong task, a lifetime’s collection, learn one thing today, acquire another grace to-morrow; or, “save the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves,” is a good rule in self-cultivation as in everything else. Our most successful American actress tells us that, early in her career, she was given the following advice by thq poet Longfellow: “Each day look at some beautiful picture, listen to some beautiful music, and give yourself some pleasure, no matter how busily engaged in your profession.” This systematic education has, no doubt, aided greatly her artistic success. Add a grace to your home, hang a picture in a new light, or put a fresh ribbon on baby’s frock, go out, visit an acquaintance, if only for five minutes, study the art-store window, if you can do no better, and you will unconsciously breathe in a new interest in life. : To meet the claims of every-day commonplaces is a righteous duty; but to become the-slaves of labor, to leave no time for culture and social intercourse is immediately paid by the penalty that we soon have no desire for them. We are born “heirs of all the ages,” and time is given us for these very things. The world, with its natural beauty and harmony, is made for our pleasure and use; we are in it, and must fulfill our destiny. To drudge away life for a conspicuous place in society can never be considered a laudable enterprise; but to devote time and intelligent attention to the cultivation of the mind, the accomplishments of the hand, and the beautifying of the personal appearance, so as to influence those around us to higher aims, and by our very presence give them pleasure, is certainly only meeting the demands made upon our higher natures. It would be no unworthy thing to live for alone to cultivate the powers within us until they become the breath of others’ joys, to be able to fill the atmosphere in which others stand with a brightness which they can not create for themselves. Bnt su h an investment of power pays a two-fold dividend. The brightness thrown over other lives is always reflected back upon our own.— Chicago Ledger.

Are We Losing Our Teeth?

The alternative as to whether man was created or developed can no longer be -raised, now that We are exercising the free use of our reason. Man’s dentition has to be judged from our experience, made in the mammalian group. Hence, first of all, it is a reduced dentition. True, we do not know the definite stages by which it was attained in man, any more than we do in the case of the anthropomorphous and all the other apes of the Old World; but we shall not hesitate to maintain that the ancestors of man possessed a fuller number of teeth, as long as deductions are justified from the observations of facts. Our teeth have decreased in number during the course of our geologicozoolpgical development; we have lost on either side, above and below, two incisors, two premolars, and one molar. By this we transfer ourselves back to those periods from which the jaw of the otocyon has been preserved. Baume, our eminent odontologist, in a recent work which we have repeatedly referred to, has successfully followed and pointed out cases of atavism or reversion in the human jaw, by tracing cases of “surplus” teeth —and certain dental formations met with in the jaws in a large percentage of cases—back to those portions of the jaw in the animal ancestors of man which have disappeared in the course of ages.— Popular Science Monthly.

A Domestic Strike.

“Now that you’ve got your 10 per cent, increase, John, you must be more liberal with your allowance for household expenses. I want a new tea-kettle, and the wash-boiler needs ” “Can’t afford it, Mollie; I’m only making living wages now, and you must wait until I can declare a dividend:” “Then you refuse to arbitrate?” “There’s nothing to arbitrate. I can’t ” - “Very well! I shall order a strike at once. The k tcken-fire shall be drawn this noon, and if you dare to bring another woman into this house, to cook as much as a kettle of mush, I’ll smash the cook-stove to smithereens. Come, children; we must begin to boycott your father immediately.”— Boston Record.

French Wit.

Guiballartl meets his tailor, to whom he owes 3,000 francs. He declares he hasn’t a sou. “Let us see,” says Guiballard, “have yon confidence in the Government?” “Certainly.” “Eh, bien! You can trust me then, for I owe much less than the Government.” _____ They were talking of spiritualism in the presence of Doctor X. “Ho you believe that spirits can return, Doctor?” asked one. “Oh, my friend, how can you ask such a question ? If I believed that I would not be able to practice my profession any longer !” He Wished He Had Said It Differently. Patient—“Oh, yon don’t know how it worries me to think that I might be buried alive. ” Doctor —“Calm yourself, Mrs. B. Yon need have no fear of anything like that. Trust to me, and I assure you that you are in no danger.”— Boston Transcript. The botanic gardens of the world, most of them scientific in character, are reported to number 197, of which Germany has 34; Italy, 23; France, 20; Great Britain and Ireland, 12; West Indies, 6; and the United States, 5. More than half are supported by government, and only 5 per cent, by private enterprise.

A Great Financier.

Henry Meiggs was born in Catskill, N. Y., July 7, 1811. In 1835 he went to New York City, engaged in the lumber business, and failed in the commercial crisis of 1837. In 1K33 he again started a large lumber yard, this time in Williamsburg, L. 1., arid was for a time successful, but in 1842 be again failed, and for several years had a hard struggle with adversity. In 1848 the gold excitement in California attracted him thither, and he there engaged in the lumber business, with such success that in a few years-lie was the owner of a largo number of ships and schooners conveying lumber from various points on the coast. At last a financial crisis in the money market of San Francisco forced him to borrow heavily, and subsequent depression of business made it impossible for him to repay the losses when they came due, and lie failed, and to escape his enormous liabilities, fled to South America. He settled in Chili and went into the business of a contractor for building bridges, and in 1858 made a large contract with the Chilian Government by which he subsequently cleared a profit of $1,300,000. He then devoted himself to railroad construction, and in Peru contracted for the construction of six railways, one of which, the Callao, Lima and Oroya Railroad, ranks among the most daring achievements of modern engineering. He also undertook the improvement of the environs of Lima, Peru, and accomplished it in a manner that excited great admiration. It should be recorded to the honor of Mr. Meiggs that after he had retrieved his shattered fortunes he returned to San Francisco and paid all the claims he had there incurred in full and with interest. Mr. Meiggs was a man of refined tastes and a connoisseur in music and art. He died in Peru in October, 1877. —Inter Ocean.

An Important Function Stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important functions, which are so wearisome that they tax to the, utmost the strength and endurance of these busy little organs. Every breath, every pulsation of the heart, every movement of' a limb, every thought, makes waste and necessitates the development of new atoms. The used up particles in the blood are'sifted from it and dissolved in a woteiyJSnul by the kidneys, which then discharge their fluid into the bladder. A train of disasters to the system would follow if these “ashes,” so to speak, were not thoroughly strained off and discharged. This is the case when the kidneys become inactive. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by restoring their activity, not only keeps open a most important outlet for impurities, but prevents diseases of the kidneys themselves, which, when inert, become liable to fall a prey to diabetes, Bright’s disease, mephitis, albu-menuria, and other maladies specially incident to them, which, although pot specially rapid in their progression, are particularly obstinate and fatal.

The Finger as an Ink-Eraser.

People who are fastidious about the perfection of their correspondence carefully scratch with a steel or rub out with a rubber eraser a word when they inscribe a wrong syllable. I have noticed hundreds of men who write a good deal rub out words, and even whole lines, while the ink is fresh, and then write over the place first written upon. —-C--: : -;. “I never U3e an eraser of any kind,” said a cabinet officer a few days ago, speaking of this habit, “It takes too long. IF r don’t want to use the word or words I rub it or them out with my finger. It is quick and effective, and one scarcely notices the blotch afterward. I believe the habit is an English one. I venture you will find few blotters or erasers about the desks of old officers in the departments or old statesmen in Congress. No, the finger is good enough for me.”— Baltimore American.

Persuasive Boyhood.

“I want some preserves on my bread,” whined a boy to his mother. i “You mustn’t have it, Johnny,” coaxed the '"mother. "That nice butter and'- sugar is just the thing for little boys.” “Wow, wow,” he howled, “I won’t have it. ’Taint nothing but glucose an3T oleomargarine. I seen it in a newspaper this morning and it’s pizen. Gimme preserves if you don’t want your little boy to die.” The little boy got preserves.—Washington Critic. A foreign exchange says: “Statistics do not at all corroborate the opinion that girls are delicate, fragile flowers. They prove them to be energetic, ambitious, resolute, and determined; asserting their" right to predominate even in numbers from the time they are born, and, with the exception of about four years of their life, keeping on the winning side and gaining, as a rule, two, three, and even four years more of life than men.” In France, where children get less of good mothering than in other countries, the baby girls show the same amount of determination to overcome negle t.

Is Life Worth Living? That depends upon the Liver, for if the Liver is inactive the whole system is out of order—the breath is bad, digestion poor, head dull or aching, energy and hopefulness gone, the spirits are depressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency and the blues. The Liver is the housekeeper of the health; and a harmless, simple remedy that acts like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with business or pleasure during its use, makes JSim- . _ mons Liver Regulator a medical perfection.
