the lances
said the weapons were ue,l at elle time to
give light and protection to marriage parties
on the way to church, the ceienumy taking
place at night, as a precaution against the
bride being taken away by some Lochinvar
who claimed a better right to her than the
duly recognized suitor. A recent writer, de-
scribing a marriage in Iihu rtlistun, says ho
saw a young man carrying off his -bride sur-
rounded by a body guartf of some twenty or
thirty men. These men were supposed to be
protecting the happy couple from it party of
young women, who hurled pieces of earth
and tamboos at the procession and made
show of rescuing the bride. As soon, how-
ever, as the bridegroom reached his own vil-
lage with his charge the assailants ran home,
screamingand
laughing.
Among ourselves.
the term "best man" is said to be a survival
of the time when the bridegroom had to get
strong hands to aid him in securing the ob-
ject of his affections. There is probably,
also, a survival of the assaults that were
then made on marriage parties in the show-
ers of rice and old slippers bestowed so freely
on the newly wedded..
The Height of Waves.
It i
a ver common on hrnso to speakea
k of the
waves, during a storm, as running mounts
sins high; but this really means nothing.
Accurate measurements, made by Scoresby,
proved that during storms, waves in the At-
lantic rarely exceed 43 feet from hollow to
crest, the distance between the crests being
560 feet, and their speed 831 1-2 miles an heu•,
More recent observations In the Atlantic give
from 44 to 48 feet as the highest measured
waves; but such heights are rarely reached,
and, indeed, waves exceeding 30 feet aro very
seldom encountered. The monsoon waves at
'Kurrachee breakwater works were found to
dash over the wall to the depth of 13 footte or
about 40 feet above Mean sea level. The
greatest height of waves on the British coast
were those observed in Wick bay—so famous
for the exceptionally heavy seas which roll
• into it—being .., :I. 1 -.to 40 feet. (Mem seas

The True Sportsman's Three Methods.
"Still Hunting," Fire Hunting."
There are three ways of hunting the moose
that are worthy the attention of the true
,sportsman, viz.: still hunting, tare hunting
and calling. To the bade creature whose sole
idea of sport is to do as much destruction as
Possible, or turn it to a mercenary purpose,
there is a fourth method known, to wit,
"yarding;" which consists simply in slaugh-
tering the poorAnimals like sheep in a pen
when the heavy snows of winter have mode
them prisoners in their "yards," as their
chosen feeding grounds amidst the forest are
called.
Fire hunting explains itself, as it is noth-
fing more than hunting by torchlight, and
The raison d'etre of it is this: The moose is
particularly fond of the roots of the water
lily. In order to obtain this dainty, which
seems insipidity Aelf to the human palate,
he does notate to dive downinto
hesitate dee
t
P
the 1 lily pond. If the dive is successful hoe
stands in the water munching one end of his
prize with supreme satisfaction, while the
Ather projects from his mouth after the man-
ner of a cigar, and it is just at this moment
that he falls a prey to the wily hunter, who,
knowing the fascination that fire has for the
animal, steals softly along the surface of the
lake in a canoe,blazing
with a torch or dark
laitern lield'in the bow. As the light falls
upon the moose's inquiring eyes they shine
out from the surrounding obscurity like twin
stars, and a well aimed bullet carries death
to the noble creature they have so innocently
betrayed.
The art of calling, in any perfection, is
rare indeed, even among the red men. It is.
effected by means of a peculiar birch bark
trumpet. armed with this the Indian, ac:`=
companied by the hunter carrying the best
rifle, betake themselves to the spot which
holds out most promise of good fortune. .1n
experienced moose hunter lays due a the
i 's to success
following as essential preliminaries
in calling. The night must be absolutely
calm, for the moose is so wary tlittt in coming
up to the call he will invariably make acircle

Still hunting orcreeping
upon the moose
is, no doubt, of all three methods the most
sportsmanlike. It can be followed through
