Ituft.ilo 'itui rigroiiH. The great game family lacks two Jjuiombeis—the '.-(ily buiialo and the jkvild |,i_o.>n. Forty ye„rs ago the Tmtfalo roamed the Western prairies Jiy tho tens of thousands, while tho plights of blue rocks literally darken- ud the sun. To-ilav there is not a 1 (specimen of either in the country out- jsiile of a zoo- ,-xcept, as to buffalo, Jlhe herd at Banff. They have been [wiiied from the lace of the earth. No word biii "ciinio" can be applied to the extermination of the buiialo by (white "sportsn "ii." At the same time, though lothing can compen- | mite for their loss, the wholesale destruction of one great species has served as thc most powerful argument for ti.e preservation of others. This is the precedent cited wnen a close season is de.sired for any bird or Legist. Some years ago it was found imper the to more tigorously pi'ute.t the hei'i- in Canada. The shooting of moose was prohioited altogether for a time, and the open season for cariboo, elk, and red deer was limited to a very few days. The di'iirod end was achieved and the door increased in a most gratifying manner. ill V IViilvi'd Illf-.l ~Uf*«l(l. Wolves also multiplied in the same proportion, according to the laws of nature; and now they are more numerous than for many years, Wolves in their, pleasant, home associations with their prey occupy very much tho same position as railway rates in relation to freight. A popular working motto for both seems to be "All tho .'rattle Will rear." The deer ure cast for tho somewhat strenuous role if traffic. It might appear at first bight that when the deer are no longer so jealously inis.'ived und the mortality is higher among (hem, the wolves wi.l de-reuse accordingly. This is not so, for it musl be borne in mind (hat wolf is far mure tenacious of life than a deer, and is one of the mosl ilillicult of animals to hunt. Ui.ii!...., a limler wolf, when reinforced by his Immediate family and a few neighbors, is something of u hunter himself, lie is not only a in i mice, but a menace to all game, cattle, and even to man himself.

Lumbermen have been attacked, and thin sands of dollars worth of live stock dis royod. A bounty will not make fanners any more anxious lo save Iheir property from llie wolf, but will have the effect -of encouraging hunters to address their professional attentions to him. In the meantime the farmers have been ox- |,e, imei I ing with new methods for extern'.iiiiing these brutes. A settler on the Upper Mattawa, having beard that if a rat is caught, a bell lied to his nock, and he is thou turned loose again, he will strike such terror to the hearts of his colleagues that they will desert the house, do- cii'oil to try tho plan with wolves, lie se~ureil a wolf, "belled" him, antl turned him loose. Then his lambs begun to disappear with alarming frequency, and investigation showed that they had fallen victims to a wolf. The owner wat lad and waited and finally i iscovered lhat the wolf he had given his liberty used the bell as a decoy for shee1-!), and that they, accustomed to the sound, and associating it with one of their Kind, actually pursued the wolf into the woods, with what painful results may be readily imagined. » In- Wull .. ti,ni, The boldness of the wolves in packs may be their undoing, for then they can be traced more readily, though this is rather a dangerous undertaking. They expose themselves openly, and will even stand gun fire. Cunning comes with adven-ity; the fewer wolves th ' greater intelligence. For this reason it will be almost impossible to completely exterminate thein, and, indeed, we do not thirst for the last drop of blood of the lest tint! er wolf. Alone and famishing, with the hand of e\cry man agi i'ist I im, hunted by dogs, his prill 1 eset with traps, and his lair with pitfalls, the wolf will still do battle.

Vcis., .-delight* on :l.i:is in Some _____ M.I'.'h Y__r ih* Two members of j. urliament have quaint stories to tell of adventures in Venezuela in times past. An honorable baronet, while on a visit to the l.epublic, had interviews wilh certain members of the Government, lie dined with them in the evening, and retired at a late hour. He was awakened from his sleep by u noise in his room, and saw, as be 1 bought, one of his hosts disappear through the bedroom window leading to the verandah. Concluding lhat this was a polite custom in the country, the visitor returned to sleep, but in the morning- lie found his trousers upon the lloor. their pockets turned inside out. His old-fashioned, highly decorated chain purse was gone, but its contents were on the ground, liis gold-edged cigar case and some gold charms attached to his fob had als_> vunished. Tbe Englishman went straight to the seat of Government, and com- 1 I lined to one of the Ministers, who expressed his dismay, and was thereupon informed thut the person seen in the room bore a resemblance to himself. "Very strange," replied thc Minister, 'fir there is no one alive Who resembles me." "In that case," rejoined his visitor, drily, "you should have no difficulty in securing the restoration of my property," Later in the day tho Englishman discovered an anonymous packago upon his room table. Opening the cover he found all the missing articles save the gold-edged cigar Case and one of Ihe charms a littlo goddess in diamonds uml emeralds. I.iiIiIiv'h Kxnerlenci*.
