SAD ELSES Game Season. The open season on feathered _ game will begin next Monday, but “it is to he hoped that nobody will follow the advice of the morning “paper and put in the time until the water game arrives hunting for par- tridges. Partridges cannot be killed un- derthe law until Oct, 1. and there is still a month left in which they are protected in this state. They can be killed in Wisconsin however, be ginning next Monday. Partridges are very plentifal in the woods this year, and even now the young birds are well grown and large enough to kill, were it not for the fact that the ‘law prohibits it. The trout season ends with this month, and with it, to all practical purposes, the fishing season, After Sept. 1 trout are the only fish pro- tected by law, and there is no rea- son why bass. pike and other fish cannot be taken. But the habits of sportsmen do not seem to include much fall fishing. Most of them ring mm a few bass excursisns early in the summer, with trout expidi- tions before and after, winding up the seasen with a trout fishing trip. After the trout season closes very few of them think of going fishing again, though September and Octo- ber are excellent months for bass hing, the only difference being tthe bass are to be und in r water than in she early sum- ae an Chis will probably be the last year when trout can be taken in the jast half of Augnst. As the Herald has shown on several occasions, the trout begin to spawn in northern waters before Aug. 13, and in all probability the season will be closed on that date by the iegislature at the coming session. Prairie chicken or grjuse hunting ovcupies the attention of sportsmen during the first months or so of the game season. Ducks and geese are not usually sought until October and November, and partridges are barred, of cou by all who do not wish to tempt the attention ut game wardens. ‘The season on ducks and geese rom Sept 1 to Jan. 1; that on 2 and prairie chickens contin- tunues from Sept. L to Now. L, and partridges may be killed from Oct. 1. to Dee, 1. fter the hunters have had their at feathered game comes the which ‘uns from Nov. 10 to Nov 30 iu both Wisconsin and Minnesota. ‘To hunt moose licences are required, vost residents of the state 25 and non-residents $25. Nv license is required in this state for hunting feathered game, but Wisconsin and north Dakuta both require licenses from outsiders for all kinds of hunt- ing. It is very probable that Minueso- ta will pass laws this winter re- quiring the same licenses fur gener al hunting that adjoining states do. —Duluth Herald. swin deer s2ascn, deer or which cents If You Are Going East On your summer vacation, and will tell us where you want to go we will tell you the best way to get there, und what it will cost.

Nearly every day is a saint’s day, and is known by its proper name and not by its date. For instance, if you ask an Abyssinian whether a certain thing happened on the 14th of Hadar (the equivalent of our November 23), he will not under- stand what you mean; but if you say, “Was it on Abuna Aragawe (the name for that day), that you stole that sheep?” a comprehending’ smile will overspread his handsome and intelli- gent features. The year is divided into twelve months of thirty days each, and at the end of the year, to make up the 365 days, are added five days, called “Quagme.” Each year in succession is called Matthews, Markes, Lukos, Tohannis. Matthews, Markos and Johannis have each a “Quagme” or five days, but Lukos, or leap year, haa | a “Quagme” or six days. The Abyssi- nian year begins on our Sept. 11, and, although dating as we do from the birth of Christ, they are nearly eight years behind us in time—September 11, 1900, was in their calendar Ist Maska- ram, 1893. Their method of reckoning the hours of the day is also peculiat to our notions. They count the day as beginning at sunrise, and not at midnight, as we do. Thus our 7.a. m. their 12 o’clock day; 8 p, m. is their 4 o’clock day, and our 6 p. m. with us would be 2 o’clock night with them, and our 4 a. m. would be their 1¢ o'clock night. Smallpox in London, | The records of the Metropolitan Asy- | lums Board provide useful material fer the purposes of comparison. Between the years 1884 and 1900, inclusive, 17,-- 000 cases of smallpox were received into their hospitals and 2,198 persons weré employed therein. Of these 17 con- tracted smallpox, of whom 13 were not revaccinated until after they . had joined the hospital ships, while 4 were workmer. who escaped medical obser- vation. During the past year not a single case of this disease has occurred among the staff of the hospitals. A concluding paragraph in the report 71 the statistical eommittee is an extvact from a report published in 1872. This report states that out of upward of | 14,800 cases of smallpox received int the hospitals, only 4 well-authenticated cases were treated in which revaccina- tion had been propery performed Without the aid of the public, sanitar; authorities and medica: psactitioner: can do but little, but with ready cu operation the prevalence of smallpox could be largeiy reduced. The Holy Seat. The holy seat is nothing more nc. less tuan a wooden chair which, ac- ecrding to pious tradition, was use¢ by the Apostle St. Peter as first Chris tian Bishop of Rome. | The ancien: #-amework of yellow oak, all worm- aten ané decayed, is preserved behing the tribune of the Basilica of St. Petey in the gigantic gilded bronze churck designed by Bernini, which is uphel¢ by the four great fathers of the church —namely, Saints Chrystom, Athana- sius, Ambrose and Augustine. From the time that the relic was placed in the bronze chair by Bernini until the year 1867—that is to say, for a period of considerably over two centuries— no one had ever set eyes upon it. But in that year, on the occasion of the eighteenth century of the martyrdom of the Apostle St. Peter, Pope Pius IX, ordered it to be exposed for the veneration of the faithful. @he Mountain Parret of New Zealand he Kea, or mouutain parrot of New Zealand, is a very funny Vite deast.

The tce was undu- jating, with little valleys and hum. mocks, and tho birds would now, for a second or two, disappear inty a hollow and now show up on a hummock, pause & moment, and then hop down again out of sight into the next shadow. To judge by their expressions smd manner, they were in a great state of anxtety on emerging from a hollow on to a hummock, es to whether I was still there. Now and then the one in front would appear, craning his neck, and on seeing me still ahead, would turn round wnd shriek “K-e-e-a,” as much as to say, “It’s all right, boys, come along.” And th> others, putting their heads dowa, would set their teeth and travel “all they knew,” a fat one in the rear evidently making very heavy weather of it. Flooded With Pearls, A Bond street jeweler was telling me some weeks ago of the new rage for pearls and the consequent rise in prie¢s, A tiny pearl which cost two shillings two years ago would now cost ten shil- lings. Since then I have learned that the London market bas become ab- solutely flooded with pearls.

If the strenuous life be here, as we are bound to assume that it is, it does not obtrude itself. The all-pervading spirit of things visible is one of calm, of cheerfulness, of indifference to thie | flight of time. The present is every- where dominant, with its most agree- able face to the front. It is as if a community of 300 000 souls, carved out of the midst of our restless Yankee- land, had shaken off its more serious obligations and voted itself a daily half-holiday. “This suggestion of leisure and rec- reation, says Francis E. Leupp in Scribner’s, is intensified by the width of the highways and the multitude of open spaces, inviting floods of sunshine and pure air. Wherever a street and @n avenue intersects, they celebrate their meeting by at least a triangular parklet or two, if not witn a more for- mal circle or square. Grass, trees and shrubbery revel everywhere in joyous life. Vines spread themselves wantonly over any wall that does not repel their advances till a common- place dwelling becomes a castle of liv- ing green with arrow-slits and a sally- Statues of the nation’s heroes appear at intervals. From this point the fiery Thomas, reining in his steed, stands clear-cut like a big black cameo against a saifron shell of sky; from that, behold the imperious Scott cross- ing at a stately walk the arena which bears his name; yonder, see the som- ber McPherson through an opening in the grove where his comrades have left him to receive the salutes of posterity. And following with the eye any radial line toward the place where the river makes its great bend, one sees the Washington monument standing guard, a hoary sentinel at the city’s water gate. FENIMORE COOPER LETTER. Famous Novelist Called Europe a Ro- mance and America Humdrum Here is an interesting letter, in the possession of a well-known autograph collector, that, according to the. Phil- adelphia Record, Fenimore Cooper wrote to his publishers in 1831: “I hope you will be wrong in antic- ipating a bad reception for ‘The Bravo.’ 1 cannot tell you much of its reception in Europe, though Gosselin says it is very decidely successful in France. America is, of all countries, one of the least favorable to works of the imagination. In Surope, or, rather in England, where there has ex- isted a necessity of accounting for some success in the very teeth of their prejudices and wishes, it has been the fashion to say that no writer ever en- joyed so favorable an opportunity as I, because I am an American and‘a sailor. As to the sailor part of the business, it is grossly absurd; for what advantage has an American sailor over any other? They know the falsehood of what they say in this respect, for I get 3,000 pounds for a nautical tale|{f} that shall celebrate English skill to- 4 morrow. “For myself, I can write two Euro- pean stories easier than I can write one American. Why, Europe itself is a romance, while ali America is a mat~ ter-of-fact, humdrum, region from Quaddy to Cape Florida.” Southern Chivairy, “You ask if chivalry still exists in the South?” said a girl enthusiastically to a friend with whom she was talking gver a recent Southern trip. “Well, I just guess it does! = “To illustrate, I'll tell you a little , thing that happened to me one day.|} A suburoan train going out from Birm- ingham was a trifle more than half full; that is, there was a man sitting by every window, and the outside half fi of most of the seats was vacant. “I got on just as the train was about | | to start, and I was in the act of taking a seat when the man on the inside cf the settee rose, and, crossing the aisle, left me with the seat to myself. “Presently he came back, and raising his hat, he said apologetically: “You must pardon me, madam, for giving you the whole seat just now; I know ladies don’t like to sit by promis- cuous gentlemen.’” Kept Good Friday. There was once a woman in Albany, prudent and cautious about the litera- ture read by her children, who ap- pealed to Bishop Doane for advice and instruction in the matter. They con- sidered and discussed many juvenile books, the Bishop either approving or condemning them as they came up for judgment, until finally “Robinson Cru- soe” was named. “Do you think it suitable for my Tommy?’ asked the woman. “Oh, yes,” replied the Bishop. “Tt is quite a harmless narrative, and has ‘pleased boys for ages.. Besides, you know, there is some reason to be- lieve Robinson Crusoe was an Episco- palian,” and the — Bishop’s eyes twinkled. “Indeed!” exclaimed Tommy’s mother. “Why I never knew “Yes,” continued the Bishop, “you remember that he kept good Fri- day.” Hobby of a Quee= The principal hobby of the queen regent of Spain is the collecting of playing cards.
