HUNTING CARIBOU.
One, Sliot Throust* the llcnrt, linn
Two Hundred Ynrd*.
The caribou is very tenacious of life,
say a s. W. Watts in Collier's Weekly,
writing about hunting tlnsc animals
in Newfoundland. My companion used
a oO.-lvi Wincliester and the writer used
an ,S MnnnlleUer. With sueii strong
guns we were seldom tilile to stop a
big stag with n 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 -00 yards, as
though he had not been touched, before
collapsing. When we opened him,
he had only one bullet hole and his
heart was cut in two. Another went
about the same distance on the jump
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 fell t'.iey dug their antlers in the
ground and turned complete Bomersa
ults.
The first caribou we killed was a
fnwn. We nicked him out heennso tee
wanted meat, and, being young, we
thought he ought to be tender. In fact,
however, Ids meat was almost useless
?lean, tough, stringy aud very dark
In color. This was dlllicult to understand,
and the guides, for some reason,
were unable to otter an explanation.
However, I learned the reason later.
It appears'that during the mating season
the fawns are weaned. VThe old
ste". 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, with the result that from worry,
violent exercise and change of diet the
meat of the fawn becomes for a time
unpalatable.
THE APOSTLES.
12 in lit cm* IJexti?*ve<1 r pon Them by
the Mcdiicvnl Artixtft.
The modiajval artists, having no idea
of the personal appearance of the Saviour's
followers, adopted a'sct of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon bo
came familiar to all. The emblem of
Peter was either a*large l:ey or two
keys crossed, which is readily explained
by referring to the words of Christ
(Matthew xvi, 10), "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 remind
the beholder that he was a teacher of
men, the former to indicate that he was
beheaded with a sword. St. Andrew
was usually tigured standing by a cross
shaped like a letter X, that being the
form of the cross upon which legend
says he was crucified. The emblem of
St. James the Croat was either a sword,
referring to tlie fact that he was also
beheaded, or a pilgrim's staff, he beiug
a great traveler.
St. John's emblem was a caldron, referring
to his experience in the boiling
oil. St. I'Jiilip's emblem is an enigma.
It was a spear and a cross, yet it is
known that lie was banged. St. Bartholomew,
who was "llaycd alive," is
i represented with a knife and ills skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's emblem
is a square, supposed to have
some reference to Christ's calling. St.
Thomas, huving been "pierced with a
dart," is pictured carrying a spear.
The emblem of James the Less was a
club, ho having been "beaten to death
with a faggot;" St. Matthias an ax, he
I having been beheaded. Simon's emblem
was a saw. The legend says "he
I was sawn asunder."
I ConrlM)' AiuonK the S*ve?lew.
The Swedes are n quiet, taciturn people.
There is no jostling even among
the lowest classes. When n train leaves
n platform or a steamboat a pier, the
lookers on lift their hats to the departing
passengers and bow to them, n compliment
which Is returned by tlie^ passengers.
You are expected to lift your
hat to the shabbiest person you meet In
the street, and to enter a shop, olllce or
bank with the hat on is considered a
bad breach of good manners. In retiring
from a restaurant you are expected
to bow to the oecupnuts. Bowing and
' hat lifting are so common thnt the peo'
plo seem to move around more slowly
than elsewhere In order to observe the
courtesy.

Soil Ik n Living Orsnntiim.
Formerly 1 lie soil was regarded as
mineral matter, simply decayed rock
mixed with dead organic matter, says
an exchange. Now we know that the
soil is a living organism whose life
is as important as that of tho anlmai
or the plant itself. If the soil be killed,
it is absolutely sterile. In other words,
if tho life of organisms which make
soil fertile are destroyed the soil is
incapable of producing a crop. Plants,
as a rule, cat only mineral food, such
as phosphoric acid, potash and nitric
acid, but animals usually eat oftly organic
foods, such as fats, sugars and
protein matter.
llnri'd 'I'llat Swim.
I have many times seen hnros, several
of them at a time, cross a stream to
feed 011 summer evenings and coolly
return in the same way back to the
woods, says a writer in London News.
'I'uo net has been quite voluntary, but
one thing I have noticed?they Invariably
sat up to see If they had time to
cross before any surprise camp. For
ln8inr.ee, the movements of a person
walking along n footpath In the distance
would be watched with some
anxiety before the plunge was made.
I have also seen snakes swim across
streams in the same way, apparently
to bnsl; on the sunny side.

A Weak
Stomach
Indigestion la often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over*
; load the stomach. A weak stomach
I may refuso to digest what you eat.
! Then you need a good digestant like
I Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
j the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
! Boon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
Kodol quickly relieves the feeling
of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
; Absolutely cures indigestion.
