One night in tLv '80s a heifer from the Murietta ranch ir Southern Cali fornia was killed b a mountain lion that lived in the fastnesses back in the San Bernandino range, says a writer in the Centurv Magazine. From cur camp the neAt day we no ticed several buzzard- on a dead pine up the hillside. One of the ranche ros pointed to a lone speck floating in the summer sky. "King of the buzzards." he said. An jour later the speck had increased in size, and he pointed to another speck just, within the scep? cf vision. The next day the old Mexican took me up the arroyo and I count* c 17 buzzards and two other birds that seemed twice the size of a buzzard, feasting on the carcass of the heifer. I was interested in the big birds, but the only information I received was a gesture back toward the highest peak of the range. Years later as my Interest in birds grew I could get comparatively little information about this "king of the buzzards," . or California Condor (Cathartes califorlanus), for not many people had ever seen the bird, and very few had first hand Informa tion as to its nesting habits. The repo/t that it was rapidly fol lowing the great auk and that the species would soon become extinct was not without some foundation, for the California condor has a range more restricted than any other bird of prey. In the early part of the last century it was reported fairly common as far north as the Colum bia river region, but now it seems to have entirely disappeared from that locality. Once it was reported tu Utah, and Dr. Elliott Coues saw <t In Arizona in 1865. With the ex ception of a record in southern Ore gon, the habitat of the California condor now seemr to be the region from Monterey county, Cal., Bouth through the mountains of the east coast range and the extension of the San Bernandino range into Lower California. There is no recora of the bird In Mexibo. It is not surprising that collectors lave searched the mountains and that museums are willing to pay big prices lor the eggs, for after a cor respondence of several years W. Lee Chambers has found that there are ony 41 California condor eggs (26 flrs't class and 15 second class) in the various museums and private collec tions of the world, while there are about "JO eggs of the great auk. which is now extinct. There are only half a dozen of the birds in cap tivity, and that number is not likely to be increased to any extent at pres ent. German Students More Temperate. "When I was a student at Heidel berg, twenty-flve yeara ago. the amount of beer the Ptudents con sumed was something astonishing," said Mr. J. N. Osborne of St. Louis "In fact many of th^m drank to ex cess, and the fellow who could put away the biggest quantity was a sort of hero. Now all that has changed, as my son, who is studying at Heidel berg, writes me. He says thai while a good many of the students still use beer, a goodly number are teetotalers and that the wholesale swilling of the old days has gone. I think thai everybody will be glad t know tbat sobriety has taken the place ui Intern perance among the young men at one of the foremost seats of learning in the world."?Baltimore American.

CATCHING FISH IN BASKETS. An Easy Method Which Obtained Around the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy has always been a famous fishing ground especially for salmon and shad. Fifty years ago the fish were so plentiful that a method was used to catch them which seems odd nowadays when a fish has at least half a chance ?.o es cape the hook or the net. The tide rises high In the Bay of Fundy and its headwaters, and of this fact the fishermen of fifty years ago took full advantage. At high tide the water makes sizable rivers of tiny streams. Large schools of shad and other fish in those days came up the river with the tide. The method of catching them was simple in the extreme. At low tide a seine would be staked to the river bed and cae top of the seine weight ed to the bottom with leads. Then after the tide had risen the fisher men would pull up the seine so that it formed a barrier across the entire river bed. Wuen the tide began to run out the fish would find their return to the sea and freeuom barred effect ively. The little fellowj. or cours^ would make their way through the seine, but the ones worth catching would flop impotently against the [ meshes. Soon the tide would be out com pletely, leaving only a foot of water in the river. Several thousand fish would be there for the taking. A pair of rubber boots and ;a basket would be sufficient equipment for the fishermen, who waded out ant' gathered tb?:rn in wholesale. The fish aon't run up the. rivers ?any more, and the seining must he done In the bay itself. This Is prof itable, it is true, but a fisb with half a head can avoid- capture for a long time. Iron Canes for Exercise. Among fashionable accessories of the masculine costume the very new est item is the ircn cane. It weighs possibly seven and a half pounds, and it is intended as an exerciser. For the business man who has lit tle time for ohest weights, dumbbells and all the other devices for keeping himself in trim the cane may prove a boon. It can be used as one walks in the open air, and consequently ii the city man's nearest substitute for the natural exercise wnich comeB from outdoor sports. While walking along the cane may be swung first In one hand and then in the other, so that development will be uniform. So If men of so me who. portly build o.- of Jaded, overworned com plexion or otherwise afflicted with the signs of city confinement and lack of exercise are observed during the next few months promenading the city streets and gracefully, light ly, airily swinging canes after the manner of major domos, the specta cle wiii not be caused by a sudden attack of springtime gayety. It will 6imply be the man with the Iron caue out for his ''ally stroll. Coffee, the insptrcr. The Italian composer, Donizetti, c nrted Inspiration by a means which proved so injurious that It caused the premature decay of his faculties. He -vas accustomed to shut himself in his room with j. quantity of mu:t?c paper, pens, and ink, and three or four pots of strong coffee. He would then begin to write and drink, and when the sup ply of coffee was exbaustt-a, he would order more, and continue to drin:t as long as he wrote. He asserted that the coffee was necessary for his Inspiration. The result of this pernlciojs habit? was a yellow, parchment like complexion with lips aim- t Jet black, and a nenous system, which soon caused his breakdown and dc-ath An Odd Test for the Postal Service Postal officials say that the motd flattering test ever made ot the-sale ty of Uncle Sams mail service was. the experiment tried by a Western man.

Bears the ^uznarxre HER BOY. The long-looked-for and much dreaded day had come at last! Wil lie Knight was going to see his moth, er for the first time in fiv? years, and he was but nine now. Colonel and Mrs. Knight lived In India at the time of Willie's birth. She was the acknowledged beauty of the station and could give no time from the whirl and excitement of army life t( care about the baby boy who ha'i come to her. and it was a great re, lief when a sister had offered to tak< the "jaby and his ayah back to Eng land with her. When he was 6 year old Willie was sent to boarding school, on'y leaving it occasionally tr pay a visit to his aunt. Mrs. Knight had met with a verj serious accident while out ndln6 oti> day.'ana as she lay for week: on he. sick bed her thoughts turned to hr> long forgotten boy. and an intenst ces.'re to see him ccirae over her.

Aftei j the pr'ze-glving the affa r would be i come purely social, buildings am grounds would be Inspected, chum ^uld be introduced and feasts am fun ad infinitum. For the first time ir his life Willi' displayed some anxiety as to his per ; ?onal appearance, and as he gazed in . ?g his mirror nr came to the pit fu C( Delusion that even an ordin?r? mother could not possibiy i'ecl prom .*. h.m. His hair had a knack of standing up in little tufts, nie nose vas a very funny little affair, his eeks were smothered with freckles, and he never had vioticed oefore thai his feet and' hands'"were altogethei out of pi jportion to the rest of his Lody. "I wish she'was just an ordi nary mother and not such t greai lady," he thought, and the fears were pretty hard to kee.i back. But the gong had sounded and tht boys gathered ready to march into the great hall. Herc the visitor? ?-ere assembled and the eyes of the t-cys eagerly .icught out t'scr lovcc ones. "That beaut ful tall lady musi be mother,'" thought Willie, but no Stt was smiling at a bay tne ethei side of the room. The opening ex r. olsos had started, and still W.llie > eyc>3 were searching the throng ot uuppy taces, and his heart began t sink as he realized that after all she was not there. "She uo?sn't care," he thought, while the tears of dlsap loinTient welled up in.o Ms eyes, "and she never 1 as cared." Bu. he was suddenly Drought back to the present by a vig rous nudge irom bis neighbor. "See that tali man. ti foot-4 sure." he whispered, "and soldier, too. 1 bet." "isn't he a danay?" replied W'llie with genuine admiration. "1 won der who he ov.ongs to; wish he was my dad." fald vhe neighbor. "So do I," came the answer, and with a cu riouT thrill vV'IMe began to realize that he had a father, too. a soldier, and he wondered how he would look. At last the exercises were over, rbe ranks broken and the boys eagerly greeting their friends,. N Willie observed now that the tal. man had his hand on an invalid chair In wnich sat i sweet-faced lady "I'll just wa.t ana see who they be long to " he thought, wfth an en /lous grip at his heart, "then I'll go of. and hide somewhere. I con'i hear to see them ail so happy, f; Is harder t.o have a mother that doesn't ?are tu n to have none at ah." "Wei . Mary. It looks as though we shall have to get some one to help us Slid our boy." the tall man was say ing. "Can I find anyone for you. sir?" sa d Willie, stepping forward. "Yes. 1 want?why, surely this !3?" Bu: before **e cou d finisp bis words Willie te.t himself drawn aown into the arms of the lady in the CuS r. and he was locked in sucD an embrace as made up to him tor aT the motherless years gone oy. seemed too good to be true! >Io?
