THE IMITATION OF ANIMAL SOUNDS.
BY LIBUT-COL, ANDREW HAGGARD, D. S. O.
The art of decaying wild animals by imita tion of their cries is a very primitive `one, practised by savages in all countries as a means of procuring food. Many white men excel in "calling" animals and birds, notably the moose among the larger animals; but if Inquiry could be carried far soough it would probably be found that the most skillful own their aptitude in this respect to the teachings. of untutored savages, whose lives depend upon the exercise of this gift.
As exception to this origin of the art of call- leading English Newspaper in China Ing may, perhaps, be found in the art of using Also widely circulated in Japan, Cochin the "hare pipe," which imitated the voice of the hare. This was employed largely in Fog China, Ceylon, ladia and the Far Eastland in medieval times, and was made a penal generally.
A daily newspaper with weekly edition published for despatch by the homeward mail
The daily is recommended as more generally
suitable, except for subscribers in Europe or America
A special feature is made of full and accur
offence in somewhat more modern days when utilized by poachers in the pursuit of their nefarious occupation.
A young lad in the wilds of northern Manitoba was one of the most remarkable imitators of animals whom I ever met. My young friend had been instructed from his earliest youth by a Swampy ladian in the art, with the result that, at the age of fifteen, he could call uny tame or wild animal about the backwoods set tlement where he lived. His father, he and I used to drive together out into the prairie, to some rushy lagoons in search of ducks and geese, which abounded. The animals harkess-
ate reports of local occurrences, and of mated to the buckboard were mares, each of which
ters of general interest.

Crouching down by my side, so that he could watch his parent, the mischievous youth several times imitated the cry of wild gecre; at first only the sound of geeso at a distance then he made them seem nearer until apparently overhead.

"Here, father" answered the boy, rising from the reeds and barsting into a roar of laughter.
It was lucky for him that there was, upon that, occasion, a deep pool between him and his outraged parent, which enabled him to make tracks for home before the old boy could get around.
