Of Hurild beastsand birds both in this aud
other countries, J went down there last
faQ t sea-w hali thwe might be In this con
dor .hunting, WelL J was there five
months', and after a 'persistent campaign
against tha caudot with guua and, traps I
made up my mind that a mau has got to
be 100 per cent, smarter than-1 am if he
ever gets rich ou condor bounties, and that
if the Chilian government expects to rid
itself . of its big-winged outlaw it will have
to detail every- manf woman and child
la the, country to take -up arms against
It. .
The hunting of .condors has 'been a
regular business in the Andes mountains
for many 'years; and the natives have
made some, money, by it, but Hke all 'the
vulture family, the condor grows sus
picious aud wary from contact with man
kind, and it has grown to know and fear
aguu so that it is next to impossible to get
within gunsho of one. Snares are now
the only means by which condors may be
taken with any certainty, and, they have
learned, to be on the lookoup for them;
These birds have the most wonderful
powers of vbiou and flight of any living
creature ef the air. Perched on mountain
peaks above the clouds, they watch the
trails which rhiiles and lamas follow with
their, burdens thousands of feet below
them,' and if an animal dies and Is left on
the plain, these monster . vultures set it,
and although, no human sight can. dis
cover "the presence of a single bird, frf a few
seconds' time they will be seen, dropping
down from the cloud like thunderbolts.
Formerly the hunter took advantase of
thlstiWOopkiB: down upon the-earcussee of
-and picking off one or two .eondora (Kfore
they could rise out of range. Traps were
also set beside dead bodies of muies and
other caiuala. Bnt ' this -cam " rarely' bo
Kine auweeavfuHy now, so-wary ho the
condor become. The same wonderful
eyes that keep the trailing caravaa n view
or discover the cart-ass left lying for its
use. note also the hooter hidiiijr with his
gun, or the trapper arranging his snare by
the carcass, and the bird remains f n safe
ty on its perch, To shoot it on the wins,
Unless you are tortnnate enough to lie
eecreted near some lofty peak when the
bird comes sailing through the clouds to
seek it tor a perch, is entirely out of the
question; for K flies at altitudes such as
no otber b.ril attains.- This lying in wait,
however, far above the snow Tine for a
thanoe to put a ball through a condor is
something that requires more grit and
nerve thaa the average hnnter can boast,
and consequently there are not many con
dors killed ou tbe Wing. These birds
hatch their young among the snow-covered
crag of the Ajjdes.' sometimes 12,000
feet above tbe at a, aud the bird has been
"seen at an altitude of avW feet. Once in
a srreat while you may hear of some hun
ter bold enough to clamber to the nesting
places among these crags in search of con
dor nests, as (he capture of the yonng or
tbe eggs is as profitable as killing a grown
bird, but such exploit are few aud far
between. There are always two eggs in a
neat, and. as there is nothing t hat ventnres
to makes the condor its . prey except the
bnnter, when a condor' rnnkerf ts nest it
does so with more cerifiiuty that there
will be- more of its kind added to the fami
ly in the course pf time .thau does any
other biro or beast.' Traps, are set as high
among these nesting places as tbe hunter
can dare to venture, and many' of the
birds are captured in that way.
There is no luoresutrHing sight thnn
from some snowy lock so high in the
mountain that the cJouils hide the world
from your view to see one of these im
mense birds break snddenly through the
deUHe vapor below you and sail upward

wings into the hauuts where it dwells
aloue in the solitude. : It seems "like some

be made to go further and more as a gen
uine treat than Iu this country. However,
our own consumers may be taught to con
siderably improve their chances of out-lining
their ful money's wovth'by observing
a few simple rules, la the general selec
tion of beef, for instance, the housekeeper,
will do well to remember that. If young, it
will have a fine, smooth, open grain, a
good, wholesome redness of color, and
will feel tender, while the fat should
be .white rather " than ' yellow

ueep or auu cotor tne meat is seldom good,
ana should he systematically ; avoided,
,When fed with oil cakes the fat of beef
will be usually of this color, and the flesh
flabby. In the selection of any cut of hettf
whatever, a strict l)servgnc of lhe sim
ple rules will suffice to Insure- evn the
most inexperienced buyer against imposi
tion?. Then again, if beef is verfresh,
the fact will make itself apparent by the
smell, which will be suggestive: of exces
sive bloodiness, quite as readily as in the
..case of. overkept or tainted beef, whose
ouor ib Bic.omi4g. i ia, prucaukiou
will apply to every other kind of meat as
well as to beef. ' ' '
'In the way of Btaksthere is one'sort,

Mutton should be judged by its fine grain,
good color, and white fat, and lamb will
speak for itseif on much the same princi
ples. If the bitter has a greenish or yel
lowish cast it is stale and unfit 10 eat. A
hint or two about mutton stews- The
best, ns well as (.lie cheapest, for t jiis pur
pose, is the breast This part can be
bought for four or live cents a pound, and
a breast weighing three pounds would
make an ample stew or main dinner dish
for three or four grown persons with
lively appetites. T '
If the rind of pork is tough and thick,
then it's old ; if it's thin and springy,
then it's yonng. aud young pork is most
desirable. When pork is fresh the meat
will be smooth and cool ;. if clammy, i is
tainted, aud shouldn't be toncheu with a
forty-foot po'e-exeeptf. nmy-.-be.', for
sausages. In choosing 1 aeon, see that the
rind is thin, the fat liini and of a reddish

Green rye grows more rapidly in the

cats ex- barley , and will be headed out in
condition to cut a full week earlier, and it
may be ten days or more ahead. If oats
and barley are sowed the same day the
oats will appear to be earlier when
rouog. especially if the weather is nnite
cold, but later the barley may -catch up,
or evesi get aneaxi. xnere are so many va

It is easy enough to amuse a healthy

the delightful occupation. Recently a
farmer, who was left to tend the baby
halted- : box on the beam of his plough.
placed the youngster iu It and proceeded
with his work greatly to the delight of the
infant. . Every philanthropic bachelor
whofeTinie hangs heavily pn bis hands
should at once secure a show-plow and
proceed to amuse . the babies whose

experience might prove useful some day.
