AH the trade Is done hy barter. The val uable fur pelts are obtained by white Itusslan trailers who give brick, Rus sian tea, tobacco, firearms, cooking utensils, knives and other mgijii covet ed and useful products of civilization to the. primitive natives In exchange. The usual way of capturing the sa ble Is as follows: As soon as thicllrst snow falls, the trapper sets out, gener ally mounted on a hardy Siberian po ny and attended by Ids faithful dog. Some! lines the trapper knows before hand where the animal. is to be found, but as a rule, he Vs guided by the trucks of the squirrel. t Squirrels un dertake Very,, wide Journeys In search of their favorite cedar nuts and other food, s?? that occasionally there is a veritable migration of the animals, and the sables follow them.. The trapper is warned of the presence of sable by the dog. which drives the quarry up a tree. The trapper proceeds to set a horse hair net all around the tree at a distance of 'jo to no yards. The trap per and his dog then withdraw to a little distance. The sable soon descends and quickly becomes entangled in the web. Small bells are attached to the t<n ? -of tlu> net and their ringing warns the I rapper of a capture. ? Funerals among these people are most weird and primitive.

It was on a spring morning in 1802, | Just before the buttle of Port Hepub j He. Jackson In advance of his troops, ! with only a single escort, galloped across tho bridge over the Shenandoah j river Into the town, which stood on the j east bank; learning that the army [ of General Shields was still a good many miles away and confident that his own troops would be in possession long before the enemy, ho rode to a residence at the farther end of the'vii lage. where he spent nearly an hour. But meantime the energetic Shields? whom Jackson declared to be his most formldoble opponent? had thrust for ward a small, swift column to occupy Port Hepnblic, seize the bridge and halt Jackson*s advance. So rapidly did it move that it gained both objects without firing a shot. More than that, Jackson was a prisoner? if uny one bad known it! Jackson, in utter ignorance of the disastrous change, mounted his horse and ambled down the main street to the bridge. What was his astonish ment to see groups of soldiers? in blue! ? busily moving to and fro about the bridgehead and throwing up intrench incuts and fortifications. Planted on a little knoll that commanded the bridge and its approaches was a formidable field gun. Fortunately for Jackson, the recent campaigns up und down the valley had faded both blue ond gray uniforms into a nondescript drab. As Jackson > sat on his horse and watched the busy scene he formed his plan swiftly. He Could not go back. He must cross that bridge. That was his only chance. It ?was the frowning field gun that he feared. Fie must put it out of commis sion long enough to get beyond its range. Throwing up his hand to at tract attention, he shouted to the of ficer in command of the gun: "What are you doing with that gun up there? I didn't order it there, and I don't want it there!" There were au thority and petulance in bis voice as he added. "Limber up and run it over on thut knob over there!" The officer at the gun, thinking that he had to deal with some superior of ficer recently arrived, hastened to obey ?without question, Explaining in self de fense that he had understood his orders otherwise. Sitting on Little Sorrel while the Federal troops worked busily about him, Jackson calmly waited antll the gun was lumbering off to Its new po sition. Then he rode quietly across the bridge and up the other bank un til he was well out of musket range. Then he turned, waved his hand to the astonished Federals, and. putting spurs to his horse, galloped away from the rain of bullets that pattered harmlessly in the rear. Had he been captured the Confeder ate victory at Port Republic which he won a few hours later would not have happened. The able and energetic Shields would have defeated his troops, stunned by his loss.? Youth's Companion. Palace and Hovel. Probably in Constantinople, which j has been described as the "city of hov- ; els," there is a greater contrast be- j tween the public and private buildings I than in any other city in the world. The streets are narrow, tortuous and dirty, and even the better class of pri- j vate houses are mean In comparison i with those of a similar class in other I countries. On the other hand, the ! mosques and palaces are magnificent in j size, design and materials of construc- t tion. most of them being of marble, white or gray. The seraglio is one of the finest buildings In Europe. Often Happens So.
