However modest us a geographical unit may be the Basque mountaineers of the Pyrenees, there remains to their credit a national ball game that will yield nothing to the finest sport- ing efforts of the Anglo-Saxon people, whether in the matter of pure recrea- tion or of spéctacular interest. The tourbillon-like movement with which the player, the pelotari, swings round to catapult the ball with backhanded fling to the great wall eighty yards away is no less graceful than the sweeping hurl of the discobolus, while the vigorous contest under the lee of the wall, where the ball is shot from the “chistera,” the curved wickerwork glove, with marvelous rapidity, affords an unlimited display of resourceful tactics. The referee, bright-colored beret on head, sings the séore in set refrain and the applause thunders from the crowd as Chiquito, or Mel- chior, or some other national hero of this “pelote basque” game earns his meed of praise. Fountains in Lispon. A delightful feature that attracts the attention in Lisbon, the capital of Por. tugal, is the many fountains to be found everywhere. Here are figures of Neptune, or obelisks of marble; there are a sculptured Venus and Adonis, and again, as on the Largo do Carino, an original erection in the form of a temple, and elsewhere simply the hollowed shell and a faucet with chained cup. Some of them are beau- tiful, all are interesting by reason of the pieturesque groups which collect around them to draw and fetch water, The women, says an exchange, have as free and graceful a carriage in bak ancing their large water jars sideways on the head as the women of the Orl- ent. . Ever Think of It? Electricity can run through very slender wires. And the energies of saving grace’can enter the life through the roedium of a very unfinished creed: “AND VICINITY >| Personal Mention and Local Happenings of the Week Has the cold weather killed the xX p | flu pest?

His case has been severe and his appear- ance proves he has had a_ hard siege of it, being reduced to a mere shadow of his former self.

But the fur of the @ coyote is really beautiful and is much sought for now on aecount of the great demand for fur ‘to make into imitation black fox. Hunters are reported busy trap- ping and shooting them on the sheep ranges where they are found plentiful. The prices quoted by eastern from $28 for big choice ones down to $1.50. Their fur is at its best now and will be so till February. The animal is difficult to ensnare in a trap but by experience trap- pers become expert in luring them to traps by a system of baiting. They are also a hard target for an ‘average good rifte shot, but at the ‘prices for fur and the bounty ad- ded in most localities it does not require many shots to make a good day’s business. | By nature the coyote is savage and cruel and will kill anything ‘it isable to kill simply for the love of killing. It delights to punish its prey by slightly wound- ing it so it will suffer. Therefore | anyone who wears coyote fur ‘should not think they have caused the brute any suffering. There is no punishment fit for a coyote.
