The Dolphin is amongst the III-Iftest and most beautiful of all nshea, so variegated, that whether In water or out of it. he appears to the eye in a variety of the most VlVld and beautiful colors.

when this writer was a small boy we didn't have to worry about where our next meat meal was coming from, we made nooaea "of fine wire and placed them across the regular paths followed by rab- hlts, the passage being narrowed by screens of fine brush. Sometimes we hooped up small saplings or slender trees to the end of which Ive placed our rabbit shares. when the animals put their heads through the noose, they sprang the trap net Ind we had to cut them down next morning.

Put into pies and stews they were delicious.

"The scorched earth policy" so often resorted to in modern war- fare was practiced by the North American Indians, long before any white man set foot on this con- iinent.

when two nations of Indiana went to war against each other, the one to the southward burnt large tracts of grass in what we now call the prairie provinces, and when the buffaloes, that annually emi- grated from the south to the north, and returned in winter, moved in- to the scorched earth area, they went no further. One can readily understand the plight which over- took these Indians of the northern nations who trusted to the buffaloes for food and clothing during the long winter months.
