just before going to bed. Oa Sundays,
which, according to the rules of her

A MISTAKE ABOUT FISH,
I have known several persons who have
eaten during the forty days of Lent no other
animal food than ash, their idea being that
it was particularly nutritious to the brain,
while in abstaining from flub food they
obeyed the rules of their Church, Row ib
is altogether a mietoke to suppose that fish
any more conduces to building up the brain
than does anyotber animal food. To baser°,
fieh contains a larger proportion of phoe.
phorus (Mian does beef, for instance, but it ie
by no means proven that the brain or other
parte of the nervous system require any
more phosphorus than they can g,t out of
any other animal, material, or even out of
oatmeal. Besides, even if fish, on account
of its dboapberue, were particularly nutri-
tloue to the brain, it would only be necessary
for a person to eat a little more beef when
be thought bis brain was especially weak in
order to obtain the required pabulum.
I believe that the prohibition against
meat during Lonb dose not extend to the
flesh of any animal that comes out of the
water; thus oysters, arable, lobsters, shrimps,
terrapin, frogs, may be indulged ih accord-

For three hours the wagons jolted slowly
along over a rough trail, while the smiles of
the Colonel and his companions attested their
faith in the things hoped for, The constant,
"chuck," "chunk," of the heavy wagon was
a little wearying to the Colonel, but the
bottles in his wagon were well packed and
easily accessible, eo that Bell Springs was
reached without any 000urrence to mar the
pleasure of the trip. Tha Jehu had an-
nounced that noon camp would be made
hero so that the horses could geb crater. On
alighting from his wagon the Colonel looked
about him for a moment and than a terrific
roar wee heard. "Where the h-- is the
water?" "Right there," replied John,
pointing to a trail of water about the size of
a lead pencil trickling through the alkali
soil, ' there's all the water we'll get till
night. '
Three days' travelling carried the party
to bhe northern boundary of the Red Desert,
where were waiting the hunters—Wrighb,
Chapman and Gomez, a Mexican vaquero.
Each hunter had " string " of eight hereto,

GAME IN EMIT.
After quietly riding for an hour Gomez
called attention to a buffalo trail and follow-
ed it at some distance in advance of the
others, carefully watching ahead. The trait
lead through sage brush, over the plains,
across innumerable draws, until Gomez
reached oho summit of a low range of hills,
when he 6uddeoly wheeled his horse and re-
turned to the party. Intanbly all was ea
oitement ; the game was iu eight. One en.
ormoue bull, four °owe and three calves were
browsing, unsuspicious of danger, about
half a mile away from the party. Fresh
horses were roped and saddled, and the
hunters separated to eurround the herd with
ae little noise es possible, At a signal from
Wright, given when each of the hunters had
crept as close ae possible, the three horses
made a dash forward, With a snort of fear
the bull threw up hie head, and seeing
Wright rushing upon him he wheeled in
blind terror and plunged headlong toward
Chapman, whose horse reared and fell back-
ward. As Chapman, swung himself out of
the saddle unhurt bhe terrified brute went
past him like a oyoloue.
THE MOTHER 001ECTED.
Meanwhile Gomez had thrown his ropo
over a calf and wag in he sob of getting out
