Chalcedony. I
Here is something now anil neat
and sure to be popular, '* said a dealer
In orockery ware and cliiua to a Mail
and Express man.
"It is oallod chalcedony, and is the
latest product of tho kiln."
It was a beautiful piece of ware and
looked as if it was cut from agate.
There wore tho same pretty veiniugs,
fractures and booming cracks with
jgold moulding.
"Tho manufacturers aro turning it
out in all sorts of shapes and for every
kind of use," continued the man, "and
it is finding considerable favor.
"Here you see is a complete dinner
set from soup to coffee. Those white
and urold nieces are for souo nnd most I
and thon, of course, these plates with
the fish designs aro for tho fish. Tho
same idea, you see, is carried out with
the plates for game, all of them being
decorated with birds and things of that
kind, and then here we have tho salad
dish like a cabbago lettuce leaf and
little lettuce leaf plates to match.
"Makes a very dainty set, doesn't
it I Oh, thoro aro constant novelties
in our business as in all others and
changes occur continuously. Glassware
is being decorated now, too, with
garlands and wreaths and other things,
but it will never crowd out cut glass.

How Parrots Shaped America's Destiny.
A flight of birds, coupled with s
sailor's superstition, robbed Columbus
'iTW ft* dtoWtYFWft Mtfbtorical
fact. When Columbus sailed westward
over tho unknown Atlantic he expected
to reach Zipaugu (Japan). After sev
eral (fays' Hail fromGomcrn, one of the
Canary Islands, lio became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, ac
cording to his reckoning, should have
been 210 nautical miles more to the
east. After a long discussion he yielded
to the opinion of Martin AJonzo
Pinzon, the commander of the Pinta,
and steered to tho southwest. Pinzou
was guided in his opinion solely by a
flight of parrots which took wing in
thai direction. It was good luck to
follow in tho wake of a flock of birds
when engaged upon a voyage of discovery
? a widespread superstition
among Spanish seaman of that day?
? J tin* change in the great navigator's
course curiously exemplifies
tho influence of small and apparently
trivial events in the world's history.
If Columbus had held to his course he
would have entered tho gulf stream,
have reached Florida, and then probably
have been carried to Cape Hutteras
and Virginia.?St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

den in which they are succored and ,
nourished the Kauri aim is to find tho ,
spoor or trail of tho mother lioness.
As sho goes in and out of her lair alio (
gradually makes a beaten track which
it is not difficult to detect. It is not
often that more than one hunter happens
lip jii the same spoor, however, as
they are comparatively few and far between.
Having made his discovery, the hunter
creeps slowly and cautiously along
tho bushes. He carries a bundle of
assegais or javelins under his arm. At
last ho reaches the neighborhood of
the lair. Tho lioness scents his approach
and starts un with ,?ij awful
~.... uui sue is too late, Before she
she can spring, even beforo slio liaB
caught full sight of the intruder, the
assegais, whirled with unerring aim,
have penetrated her body. She falls
to the ground, gasping, dead. The little
lion whelpa are too weak and small
to offer any defense; the cruel-looking
fangs, tho terrible claws are only just
beginning to bud. They are gathered
up by the hunter, who takes them back
to his zereba. There they are brought
up on the milk of goats. The little
ones grow very fond of their foster
mothers, and jump and play around
them quito as if it were a family party.
Young tigers are obtained in the
same way as lions. But leopards ami 1
hyenas are frequently caught full grown. 1
They endure captivity a great deal 1
better than other members of the cat
family and, boing less heavy ami pow- '
orful, are more readily managed even 1
in their most ferocious moods. In or
tier to calcii them huge traps are set. '
Sometimes these traps are made out of '
wood, sometimes they are eut out of 1
the solid rock. They act much on the '
principle of the common mouse trap ?
that is, they have a hanging door in '
front of the entrance which is raised '
hy a lever held down by a baited hook. <
The bait consists of meat. The animal
comes in and seizes the bait, tho
lever Hies up, tho door shuts down
upon him and he is held fast. Once
trapped, the hunters, after a fierce,
struggle, tie his legs together, muzzle (
uim and bear him off in triumph to the
zereba.
i
Sometimes a great hunt is got up ]
and then everything which comes in
the way of tho Kauri negroes is fair ,
game for slaughter, while all the lairs ]
that are discovered, whatever the
iiarent animal may be, are relieved of

18 Wild elephants arc often capture
in large quantities by a very simpl
t,. method, especially by the natives o
Bunnnh and Ceylon. First an inclo
a(J sure called a keddah, or oorral, i
formed by feupinc in ?. ?
ground with the trunks and branche
in of trees. On one side only is there ai
? opening. It is the aim of the hunter
to drivo the wild elephants througl
this opening into the inclosurc. llu
this can bo done only by the aid o
thousands of beaters, who muke an ex
T tensive circuit around the haunts o
? the elephant. Gradually but aurel;
Ethey narrow the circle, driving th
animals before them, uutil a compnra
tively small area is completely sur
rounded by the boaters with th
hunted animals in the midst. At last
the beaters with a general rush,scream
ing at the top of their voices am
brandishing lighted torches in thei
hands, close in upon the elephants
i The affrighted creatures, seeing m
? way clear except in tho direction o
" the corral, make for it with all spcei
wl and enter tho opening. Once theyar
|e inside the entrance is barricaded. Th
Z. UUhCjWA'i, p f et'ely exhausted
r. they huddle together iu the centre o
- the corral, and there await motionlea
the progress of events. A number o
tame elephants, each mounted by ?
keeper with another man following or
foot, are then ridden into the inclo'
sure. Mingling freely with the wild
elephants the tame ones put them ofl
their guard, and thus an opportunity
| is given to the attendant on foot to
pass the noose of a rope around each
of the four legs of every captive, who
is then securely fastened to a tree.
The elephant is not as unruly or as unreasonable
as the lion or the tiger,and
it does not tako very long to tame him.

Up in the frozen reg'ons of Alnskn
the scA-lion is hunted in much the same
manner as tho elephant in the equatorial
districts of Asia and Africa. Tho
huntsmen are tho nntivo Aleutes, a
species of Esquimaux who inhabit
Alaska. They first find one of tho
rookeries to which tho sea-lions betake
themselves during the autumn season.
These are usually some narrow promontory
or strip of land bordering the

largo quantities. Tho Aleuts well

Simple Methods of Catching Wild
Elephants, Sen Lions and Snakes.
^ | t HERE aro men who make a
I V regular business of catching
J nnimals, rearing and training

whoever will buy. These men send
out special messengers to the hunting
grounds in Africa and elsewhere. They
take with them a lot of small coin to |
uisinoute among uie natives. junuoia j
ft very little money will go a long way. .
On the arrival of the messenger the |

luuters conceal themselves iu the ?
neighborhood until n favorable night
;omcs on?a night when the moou in
eartially obscured by clouds and the
wind is blowing front the shore. When
the herd of sea-lions are fast asleep ^
with only a waking sentry here and
there, the hunters slip down to tlu
[teach at low water and proceed to ^
trawl on all fours, Indian fashion, between
tho sea and tho dozing herd.
Hie sentries either do not see them or
>lse in the dim light mistake them fot
fellow seals. At all events, they rarely 1

ho hunters creop along until they
lave completely intercepted their

eader they leap to their feet, shout.
Fell, brandish their arms, fire off pistols
and create a regular pamlmonium.
rhc startled sea-lions, roused suddenly
from their slumbers, answer with loud
roars of dismay and affright and flounder
off in all directions.
If their heads happen to be pointed
seaward at the moment of awakening,
off they go toward the sea; if 1
landward then they follow that courso
iust as blindly and desperately. I
Nothing can turn them from the
Btraight courso. It is the land-turned |
animals whom the hunters pursue, j
leaving the others to escape as they
ploase. They follow them with
hideous shouts and wild gesticulations,
until the poor terrified creatures fall

When a sufficient number have been
captured on successive nights the
whole lot are driven to tho Aleut
village by means of constant prodding
and kicking. There they are slain, n
few being reserved for such purchasers
as wish for live specimens.
Snakes of various kinds are caught 1
in India and in Africa. Here is how I
llie capture is effected in India. During
the dry season the jungle which
they infest is sot on fire. The snakes j
dart out in all directions and are j
caught by the natives in large hand ]
nets, in shape not unliko the nets with
which American children catch butter- |

hey are packed in l?ig boxes, from

Termont's Mammoth Care.
Vermont has a mysterious cave whioh
for generations ban been regarded by
the country folks as the headqnarters
for hobgoblins or other residents of
pirit land. A newspaper man lately
explored its depths to a limited extent
and says he found a wonderful freak of
nature. The opening of the cave is a
large fissue in the side of the mountain
bordering on Maidstone Lake, in the
town of Maidstone. A chamber twenty
feet deep and ten foet high, oncased in
solid walls of ice, leads to a huge chamber
.in which is a spring of unusual size,
tjubblihg in a little pond. The water
dashes down a steep incline through a
tunnel, and then falls over a precipice
so high that the sound of the falling
water can not be heard. By following
a circuitous route down a steep inclino
for a distance of 100 yards the explorers
reached tlio brook again in another
big chamber filled with level boulders
of granite apparently disloged from the
roof of the cave by earthquakes. The
explorers followed the course of the
brook ayd emerged from the cave on
tho opposite side of tho mountain, a
distance of nearly two miles overland
from where they entered. The cave is
one of immense size, and contains
many chambers which tho oxplorers
did not dare enter without tho proper
instruments for measuring distances
and apparatus for scaling tho precipices
which arc known to exist.?New
York Mercury.
The lawyer's charge is usually
heavier than tho judge's.?Truth.
