About House the The average man does not like to meet with change in the familiar ob- jects of the rooms he lives in. The chair he likes best OUght always to he in the same place. Do not from mere love of change, remoxe his book case, or shelf of books, or his pipe- rack, or the small table which holds his newspaperâ€"not even to What one might consider a more appropriate place. The comfort of all the memâ€" bers 01' the household is the first conâ€" sideration. Do not suggest removing a writing desk without the user’s unâ€" qualified approval and consent. Hav- ing’ made concession to the material comfort and confirmed habits of the other members of the manly, We may To most housewives one of the deâ€" lights of springâ€"cleaning is the opâ€" portunity it afiords for givxng the rooms a dili'erent amearance by the re-nrl‘angement of the furniture. When every article, even the heaviest, has been 1110' 1 out 01' its accustomed place. the inclination is strong to try their men in difi'erent positions. The natural love of change is grati~ tied, as ii We had got a new suite of rooms. There are DOSaibly several dillerent arrangements which would be equally satisfying to the eye and to comfort. But in rooms of moder- ate size, having found the most suitâ€" able position for large objects such as beds, Sideboards, bookcases. it is better not to make any change in these. One is sometimes surprised at the unnecessary, projecting awkward- ness of, say. a. wardrobe. and when the person responsible is asked why she put it there, she will probably reply, "Oh, I thought I'd like a change!" In earning out our plans of alteration, do not let us overlook the comfort of the master, or, in- deed. of any mun of the household. Haddock cut in small pieces, (lipâ€" ped in Indian meal and fried, is also very nix'c. But we wonder how many have ever tried beef fat instead of pork or lard to fry it in. It is sweeter and more Wholesome than either. and if the flavor of the pork is desired, a slice or two may be used for that. purpose. llid you ever have the Lom‘ remow ed from a small haddock and broil it our a hot lire, remove it from the broiler to a [)lullCl‘ and cover it \Villl u generous quantity of bultez‘. salt and pepper?

Spring is s‘the season when your system needs toning up. In the spring you must have new blood as ithe trees must have new sap. Nature ideman‘ds it. Without new blood you will feel weak and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatism or neu- iralgia occasional he‘adaches, a variâ€" ‘arle appetite. pimples. or eruptions of the skin, or a pale, pasty comâ€" }lexion. These are certain signs that the blood is out of order. The only sure way to get new blood and fresh energy is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They actually make new. rich bloodâ€"they are the greatest spring tonic in the world. Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills clear the skin, drive out disease and make tired, deâ€" pressed men and women bright, ac- tive and strong. Mr. Neil H. Mc- Donald, Estmere, N. 3., says: "It gives me great satisfaction to state that I have. found Dr. Williuins’ Pink Pills all that is claimed for them. I was completely run down, my appe- tite was poor and I suffered much from severe headaches. Doctors' medicine did not give me the needed relief, so I decided to try Dr. Wilâ€" liams' Pink Pills. I used only a, few boxes when my former health re- turned, and now I feel like a new man." “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not only the best spring tonic, but are a cure for all troubles due to poor blood or shattered nerves.

In this pathetic position it remains for a feW days, subjected to the suf- focating fumes of numerous fires lighted round the trap, driven stupid by every noise the trapper’s assist- ants can produce, and deprived of food and Water. Soon his spirit breaks. and completely humbled, al- most with tears in his eyes. he is loaded with chains and ropes and led away, he, the mammoth of the wilderness, >to be sold perhaps to some travelling .gircus for a couple of hundred dollars. Apes of all sorts, excepting the gorilla, are more easily captured than any other class of Wild animals and the fact points a moral. All the trapper: has to do is to go When a. herd of elephants is dis- covered in the neighborhood, the trapper rides out to meet them, and inveigles an elephant, generally a. bull, to give him chase. This the animal is generally only too willing to do. It chases him at a. good bot pace towards the trap, towards which the trapper rides. But when he is right on the gate of the trap, he suddenly swings his horse round and slips through the narrow openâ€" ing in the fence, which has escaped the notice of the angry elephant, which. being very much less agile than the horse, cannot turn in time or stop itself, but plunges into the trap, the gate of which closes quick- ly after it, and lands it with no little force in the great hole pre pared for its- rN-eption. And the great brute is the prisoner of a. few plgmy men. ELEPHANTS ARE EASY PREY. Then from close beside the gate a long, low fence is built, and in this fence, only afew feet aWay from the gate of the trap, is an opening just wide enough to enable a. home to pass through. Contrary to What might be expect- e-d, elephants are easily taken by trappers who know how to go about the work, though they are very bad tempered, and not to be trifled with. The experienced trapper, however, runs flttle risk. He Iinds the place Where elephants are evidently in the habit of passing or halting, and there, with his native assistants, he digs a. great h'ole some twenty feet in diameter and five feet deep, erect- ing, a strong, high, wooden fence all round it, except at one place, Where a, big gate is hung. In giraffe hunting, trappers generâ€" ally employ a contrivance of three ropes joined together at one end and Weighted at the other. Pursuing the animals out in the open land. the trapper draws as close to his quarry as the latter will allow and throws his entanglement in such a Way and with so much skill that it Winds round the girafie's long legs and brings it to the ground, when the t‘rapper rides up and secures his victim. Days and weeks trappers often spend in chasing flying giraffes and following their tracks, only to lose their quarry at the crucial moment or be forced to abandon the hunt as hopeless. When, however, a. capture is made there is wild rejoicing at the animal repository for which the trapper works, for good girall‘es are Wanted in all the great zoological gardens of the world. Any young man on the look out for an exciting occupation may be advised to turn his attention to the trapping of wild beasts for exhibition purposes, for there is no calling which offers an equal variety of dangers. And at the same time there is money to be. made at it; a. good giraffe is nowâ€"uâ€"days worbh anything from $5,000 to $10,000, and a fullâ€"grown gorilla would prob- ably be worth twice the larger sum, while hippotami are quoted at very high prices. But the capture of such beasts as these is not easy to ef- fect, hence the fancy prices quoted. The gira'l‘c falls into the Irofes- Sionnl trapper's hands but very rarely. It. is a highly nervous crea- ture, anu, being very quick of hear- ing and fleet of foot, generally sucâ€" Ceecls in eluding its pursuers. Zebras are also caught in this manner, though the lasso used by cowboys is often employed. But. the difficulty with the giratl'e is to get near enough for the entanglement to be thrown the intervening distance. TEA? Sold in native purity and deliciousness Black, Mixed or Green.

From time to time the trapper reâ€" turns until the bait is found to have gone from its place. Then he knows his quarry is as good as taken, for somewhere near he will certainly find the boa-constrictor curl-ed up in leaden slumbers, trying to "sleep 0!?" the antelope, and far too dreamy to attempt to defend itself.â€" Pearson's Weekly. A tempting bait in the form of a. young deer or antelope (natives in India have been known to use their infants for,the purpose) is tied in the jungle where snakes are known to frequent. Catching boarconstrictors is not to be lightly indulged in; the risk of being in their Vicinity is sufficiently obvious, but the Work is neither so difficult nor as dangerous as one would suppose. They are generally made victims of their own faulty diâ€" gesrtiolns. Directly the animal walks on the net and sinks into the hole the elas- tic band is liberated and immedi- ately closes the net around the animal.

The few gorillas that are occasionally seen In captivity are the victims of infantile indiscretion or are common baboons. Gorillas fear nothing", which makes them ter- ribe ions; and even when mortally Wounded their ferocity, quickness, and strength are simply astonishing. When a wildâ€"beast trapper meets a gorilla. the market, value of the beast may occur to his mind, but it does not tempt him to try to make a capture: h'e exerts all his coolnese and daring to mark a vital spot in the hmst’s huge frame, and while the brute swings rapidly for- ward to attack him, he shoots it dead. If his aim is bad, the proba: bility is that a human skeleton will mark the place where the mounten took place. Lions and tigers are frequently captured as cubs, their parents hav- ing been killed by huntsmen. This is more exciting sport than the al- ternative method of trapping the fullâ€"grown animals, for Wild beasts, especially those of the cat tribe, are wonderfully brave defenders of theix young, and if not hit in a. vital part will carry a. surprising amount 01 load ere they will let their young fali into hmnan hands.
