When the editor of the Advance," says the editor of the

 feeds on venison for weeks through the season when it is for- 

 bidden by the law of the State to kill a deer, it would be well 

 for him to keep discreetly silent about it; at least not to de- 

 scribe a deer hunt." [Wo have read the papers in the Advance

Poisoned Arrows.— At a recent seance of the Soe. d'An- 

 tliropologie an interesting communication was received from 

 Jl. U'. J. Hoffman regarding the methods employed by the 

 North American Indians to poison their arrow-points. The 

 Comancbes simply pierce the green shell of the Spanish bayo- 

 net "r yucca angustifolia with the points. The Apaches 

 (Cayotefes, sic) bruise up the heads of rattlesnakes with frag- 

 ments of deer's liver, allow the mass to become putrid, then 

 dip the arrow points and allow them to dry slowly. The. 

 Chinouns (Moquis of Arizona) irritate a rattlesnake until he 

 bites himself, ami then dip the point and a portion of the 

 wood into the animal. A wound with one of these arrows 

 generally proves fatal in three or four days, and its action is 

 much more rapid if the stomach of the wounded person is 

 empty at the time the injury is received. Another poison is 

 obtained by irritating bees, shaking the hive, and then 

 killing them when in this state with small branches bunched 

 together. The insects are crushed up in a mass with mortar 



and pestle, and the arrow ].

 Now if the germs of disease or of that which causes the 

 disease are wafted along like a blight, filling the whole 

 atmosphere, making their presence felt at once l.y the 

 denizens of the air, we have a confirmation of the theory 

 that cordons and quarantines, however strict, cannot be relied 

 upon as a guarantee. Moreover, as any blight or vitiation of 

 the atmosphere of such a kind coidd hardly move, except by 

 the aid of the wind, it would become almost certain that 

 places to the windward of an infected center might be saved 

 lrom the epidemic until the wind changed. Any way, the 

 theory may be worth attention. — SI. James's Gazette.

THE FAIRY" MINNOW. 



Tnis is by far the best artificial minnow ever made. It 

 is a great improvement on the "Phantom,'' which has 

 long been considered the best of all minnows. When put 

 into the water it almost immediately becomes as soft as 

 velvet and as tough as leather, besides having the exact 

 appearance of a real minnow, even in the matter of 

 scales. Our Phantom has been imitated, and so, no 

 doubt, will this be. Anglers will find our name 

 box containing one of these minnows, and 

 known trade mark on the card to which each 

 is attached.
