CAPE HORN CRACK SHOTS.
Tha Wonrtarful Marktinanihlp IMnplayail
' . by the Yahffana and Onu
It may be os well to refer to some
otbor tribes about Cape Horn which
attracted the attention of Professor
Hatcher. For example way bo nien-
tiuued theYubgans who live nearer
to tbe south polo than any other
known "people." The;- occupy certain
email islands' lying south of Tierra
del Fuego and are found also on tha
south beach of that groat island it-
eelf. The territory they occupy ia a
maze of mountain peaks aud tho
conditions under which they exist
are almost beyond realization by a
civilized person..
The typical weapon of the Ynh-
gans is the rawhide sling with
which they aro able to kill water-
fowl afloat at 200 yards. To hit any
bird at that distance would be called
right good shooting. They can knock
down and stun a guannco with a
heavy round pebble up to 100 yards.
The reason for the sling as a tool of
destruction is found in the fact that
the Yahgana live on the beaches
where plenty of round pebbles ar
always at hand. These islanders fry
out oil from whale blubber and atOr
it for future use in the bladderlike
leaves of a kind of seaweed found
everywhere in that region.
Quite distinct and peculiar is the
.Ona tribe which inhabits the prairie
region of Tierra. del Fuego. This
grout island has the shape of a tri-
angle and is almost as large as the
state of New York. Once upon a
time it most have had a tropical cli-
mate inasmuch as the bones of
monkeys and parrots are found fos-
sil there in great numbers.
. The Onas have no horses. They i
eat those they capture from the
sheep men considering horse meat
the greatest of delicacies. They de-
pend for food chiefly upon the
guanaco which abounds in Tierra
del Fuego and a kind of prairie
squirrel. In the' chase they rely
mainly upon bows and arrows and
the bolas the latter consisting of
two or three stone balls on the end
of bide thongs. On being thrown
the balls diverge in obedience to
centrifugal force and fly round and
round in the air until the object is
struck when the thongs wind them-
selves about it. These savages can
throw the bolas so dexterously as to
fasten a man to his horse. The Onas
however often kill the guanaco by
surrounding a bunch and running
them down so wonderfully fleet of
foot are they. Boston Transcript
Ad Encounter With Feocarlea.
After the drove bad surrounded
their wounded companion and noisi-
ly inquired as to his condition and
expressed their warm sympathy
with him a number of them started
toward Ochoa who hastily ascended
a tree. Thus far all went in order
as we had anticipated. The other
Indian descended from his tree and
tried to come to me as J was prepar
ing to slowly slide down the rock
but juet then several mad boars

up the tree like a shot and I as sud-
denly reclimbed the rock. The an-
gry boars came with bristles raised
tails straight out tueks roughly
grating and uttering loud threaten-
ing cries. Some of them waded into
the shallow creek and' attempted tov
ecalo my rock. I was exceedingly
uncomfortable hut thought that in
a few moments their horrid fuming
would cease but every timo sortie
old sow would approach her wound-;
ed friend and attempt to assist him
along with her snout (and they did
this frequently) he would commence
aSuBele90fInpla88qual.l8;
and then the crowd would rush to-
ward us again. Then they would
step backward a little bit and shake
their heads as if daring me to slide
down from the rook and find out
how rapidly they could convert me
into mince meat Outing.

MARK TWAIN'S ADVICE.
When Taken It Always Landed a Haa
In a Comfortable Berth.
Mark Twain has found situations
for many a man in a unique way.
When any one asked him for help
along that line he would write the
delighted applicant a cordial affirm-
ative asking him to pick out any
position he preferred and to aim
high. The desired position being
selected Mark would simply tire
baok at the applicant tbe following
instructions. In every case where
they were carried out in good faith
they landed the worker at the top of
the ladder. Here they are:
Formula:
First By a beneficent law of our
human nature every man is ready
and willing to employ any young
fellow who is honestly anxious to
work for nothing.
Second. A man once wonted to
an employee and satisfied with him
is loath . i part with him and give
himself the trouble of breaking in a
new man.
Let us practice upon these foibles.
Instructions:
First You are to apply for work
at the office of your choice."
Second. You are to go without
recommendations. You are not to
mention my name nor any one's
but your own. .
Third. You are to say that you
want no pay ; that all you want is
work any kind of work. You make
no stipulation. You are ready to
sweep out point tho pencils replen-
ish the inkstands hold copy tidy
up keep the place in order run
errands anything and everything.
You are not particular. You are so
tired of being idle that life is a bur-
den to you. All you want is work
and plenty of it. You do not want
a pennyworth of remuneration. N.
B. You will get the place whether
the man be a generous one or a sel-
fish one.
Fourth. You must not sitarouno
and wait for the staff to find work
for you to do. You must keep
watch and find it for yourself.
When you can't find it invent it
You will be popular there pretty
soon and the boys will do you a
good turn whenever they can.
When you are on the street and see
a thing that is worth reporting go
to the office and tell about it. By
and by you will be allowed to put
euoh things on paper yourself. In

they have been edited and a. good
many of your words left out the
very strongest and best ones too.
That will teach you to modify your-
self. In due course you will drift
by natural and sura degrees into
daily and regular reporting and will
find yourself on tbe city editor's
staff without any one's quite know-
ing how or when you got there.
Fifth By this time you have be-
come necessary ppssibly even in-
dispensable. Still you are never to
mention wages. That is a mattei
which will tako care of itself. You
must wait. By and by there will
bo a vacancy on a neighboring pa-
per. You will know all the report-
ers in town by this time and one or
another of them will speak of you
and yon wjll be offered the place at
current wages. You will report thia
good fortune to your city editor
and he will offer you the dame
wages and you will stay where you
are. - ''.! f
Sixth. Subsequently whenevei
higher pay is offered you on another
paper you aro not to take tho placa
if your original employer is willing
to keep you at a like price. lie-
