The Fleet anil Wary Antelope.
A Fort Keogli (Montanai corres
pond nt of tho Philadelphia 'limei says
that thousands of anleltip's have ap
peared in that vicinity this season. The
writer adds; To hu it the antelope sue
cc.ssfully rftpries more than ordinary
skill. With the exception of mountain
sheep, antelope are ihe most difficult
game animals to approach on this conti
nent. A bear will stand u,i an 1 actually
s ekti,dil; a buffalo bull will tun at
first, but once wounded a stand-up light
to the bitter end is the probable out
tome; an elk can be approached ami
slain without e.xcrci.ing extraordinary
precaution, a id a il i r is sometimes as
dangerous and hehigerent a a mouii
t n'li lion. On the other hand, the ante.
lopefir.it, last, and ali the time depends
upon Irs legs for safety, and it is fair to
say that they ar' the fleetest, ns they
are the most graceful, of ipia liupeils.
There is no fun in stole for tho green
horn who attempts to hunt this animal
without understanding its ways and
habits. Anybody can hunt and kill a
bison, a bear, .ni l inny of the other
large game rliinnU; but the antelope
demand the m .st skilll'ii! of huntsmen
to compote with its Uvei s 'uses of si.jht
mill smell, not to speik of that other
import-nit adjiri.-i, cMrnie ll ctfn 'if

A I'resli Iir Munition.
1 had oct asion this week to cad on a
man of business in the Standanl oil
building. I found him in lii. private
t llieo, with the t n i of a section of rub
ber pipe, such lis is ls;d o;i extension
gaslights, in hit mouth. The other end
tilte I in a metal plate in one of the
panes of the window nearest to In; desk,
lie appeared to be sucking away tit the
rubber tube n.s if it was the stem of a
I tobacco pipe, nnd was writing letters
with great speed and th i- siveness of
hau l. lie cmpti'.d his mouth to talk,
but ever and anon, in intervals of con
virsation, scied the fi'ic again and took
another whilT at it. This singular pro
ceeding so completely ih inorali. d me
that I at last asked him, point blank,
what it meant.
"Only fresh nir," he replied, "I have
been troubled in my iungs for some time,
and the high temperature of these stcam-
hcated offices nearly kills me. By this
means I can breathe fresh air all the time
I am at work. It's the greatest inven
tion t f the age. It ought to 1-c in every
office building in N. w York." It is not
uninteresting, ns illustrating the average
consistency of mankind, that this gentle
man, who sucks in a stiady stitam of
coltl nir while at hi desk, as a sanitary
measure, wears a respirator in the street,
tokecp the hnr-h breath of out of doors
from his delicate lungs. The invention
hedisp'nye 1 to me is, I believe, i f Kuro
pcan origin ami wat imported by him.

On the Framing of Picture.
The flaming of engravings is a matter
of 'great nicety. Firstly, the margin
should !). cut to suit the sizo of tho pie-
ture. A vast "meadow" of white is
offensive to gootl taste, and tends to
dwarf the engraving portion. The fash
ion of ebony fi anus with it beading of
gilt is bold and harsh anil fuaerealiii as
pect where the engraving or etching Is
large. The simple square-edged frame
of oak unvarnished, with a slight inner
rahbitt of gold, is ab ait the best and
most suitab'c; but here again he tone
of the wall must be tonsidered. lint
