fifteen years ago, Bald George W.
Kae, a Manitoba pioneer, the grizzly
bear was so plentiful among the Mani
toba Rockies that the Hudson Bay com
pany annually secured many hundreds
of their skins from the army of hunters
and trappers that had its range in that
wild region, but today this fierce and
a a a
ponaerous oeast nownere so nerce or
of suoh enormous proportions as among
the Manitoba fastnoacoo is quite a rari
ty in its old haunts, and I doubt if one
can now be come upon without a diffi
cult and tedious journey of at least 800
aailes into the interior wilderness of the
province.
The grizzly has met with almost as
bard a fate as the buffalo, although, from
the nature and isolation of its present
retreats and the difficulties attendant on
hunting and trapping for it, the grizzly
bear, like the Manitoba moose, will nev
er become extinct in that country. I be
lieve that tho moose, although the flesh
of 2,000 of them is required to supply the
military stations in the territory alone
with fresh moat every year, is as plenti
ful today in its wild retreats as it has
been at any time since the great inroads
of for and pelt hunters were begun in
the territory.
I know no reason why the grizzly bear
of the Manitoba Rockies' should grow so
much larger than the grizzly of the
same mountains in the States, but a long
and varied experience in hunting these
animals in their respective localities has
proved to me that such is the fact. No
grizzly bear that I ever captured or that
I ever knew to be captured south of
Manitoba measured more than 7 feet
from muzzle to tail, or weighed more
than 1,900 pounds. But it was no un
common thing in the palmy days of
grizzly bears in Manitoba for the hunter
or trapper to be confronted by one of
these monsters 9 feet in length and with
a bulk of 1,500 pounds or more. I have
seen Manitoba grizzlies that when they
threw themselves on their haunches and
rose erect towered five feet and six feet
above me, and I want to tell you that it
takes a man with a large quantity and
the best quality of nerve to stand in that
tremendous presence and prepared to
do battle coolly and with a level head.
Grizzly bears, like all the rest of the
bear family, have the curious habit of
rising against a tree, and, reaching up
as far as they can with their fore paws,
making marks in the bark by digging it
with their claws. I have more than
once come across these measuring marks
of a grizzly, as the marks on the bark
are called, 12 feet above the ground.
Imagine coming suddenly upon a beast
like that in some deep ravine or isolated
spot almost impassable owing to the
down timber heaped and tangled on the
ground and surrounded by rocks and
thick underbrush. The sight of his
great jaws, open and red, and his eyes
flashing in fury at you from the enor
mous head that towers so far above you,
is something only to be appreciated when
once seen.
When there were buffaloes on the
plains, Manitoba grizzly bears were keen
and persistent hunters of them. When
grizzly and a buffalo met, there was
sure to be a fearful contest, although it
seldom lasted long, and the buffalo was
usually the victim. The buffalo bull,
when confronted by a bear, would in
variably charge ferociously upon its big
and ugly foe. This was just what the
bear desired, and he awaited, erect on
nis nauncnes, tne onset or the buffalo.
As the latter rushed forward with low
ered head and was almost upon the bear
the immense grizzly threw himself
quickly to one side, and with a blow as
quick as lightning with one of his great
forppaws seldom failed to break his an-
nist's neck. A Manitoba grizzly has
been known to engage in rapid succes
sion four and even five infuriated buffalo
bulls and kill every one of them. It
sometimes happened, though, that a bull
younger and more agile than his com
panion succeeded in evading the fatal
blow of the grizzly's terrible paw long
enough to give in turn a deadly thrust of
his horn into the bear's side, puncturing
his vitals and making the contest a mu
tual slaughter.
In general characteristics, of course,
the Manitoba grizzly is not in any way
different from others of the family.
While I believo that a 'grizzly bear will
sometimes wait and precipitate a "fight
with a man and take pains to put hiin
self in the way of one,-in the great ma
jority of cases he will take a second
thought about the matter and back out.
A queer instance of this disposition
came to my Knowledge once wnere a
famous Manitoba guide courageously
advanced upon three grizzlies, an old she
one and two half grown cubs, and, by a
series of ridiculous monkeysbines and
acrobatic maneuvers within a rod or
two of the threatening bears, filled them
with such astonishment and apparent
fear that they retreated, to the woods as
fast as they could go.
The hunter's gun had snapped in both
barrels, he having drawn on the old bear
before the young ones came upon the
scene. It was in a fit of desperation
that he tried the turning of a handspring
and jumping up and down, clapping his
hands and resorting to other unhunter
like measures. He had been told once
that a hunter had frightened a moun
tain lion away by similar absurd move
ments, and he found that it worked to
perfection in tho case of the three griz
zly bears, but he never, even in the face
of that fact-advised or encouraged any
one to go bunting Manitoba or any
other kind of grizzlies armed with noth
ing more than a capacity to turn gro
tesque somersaults. New York Sun.
Maidens' Baresaeters Far DItImI.
Depths er Their SweetaearU Lore.
It is singular to sea how manv maa.
ingless ceremonies are now practiced by
young women ceremonies which were
formerly used in earnest as lore charms
or incantations. Most of these have an am
atory origin, and in connection with not
a few certain flowers are ued,preimably
as a means of foretelling the future. Ia
several parts of New England when
young lady expects a visit from her lover
she will pluck a marigold, take it in her
hand when he arrives and carrr it nntn
the end of his visit, when fromts fresh' j
or raaed condition she will judge of the
strength of his affection.
A German girl, after having- been
called on by her lover, will nut a star
flower or dandelion in water and leave it
there nntil his next visit, drawing an
. omen from its condition, while a Spanish
maiden will take a moss rosebud, wear
it on her breast, and if it expands to be
come a perfect flower the omen is con
sidered exceedingly fortunate. A super
stition of the same kind is shown by the
East Indian maiden who places a poppy
in her hair. In England the primrose is
used for the same purpose, and ia conn--try
districts of New England the spikes
of the rib wort plantain are taken,
wrapped in dock leaves, placed beneath
a stone, and if the next day signs of new
buds appear the omen is considered
happy.
In France young ladies desirous of
ascertaining the .extent of a lover'saffeci'
tion take the common daisy and pull off
its leaves one by one, with the question,
uoes ne love mer Does he love me
little? Does he love me much? Does he
love me with all his soul?" Marguerite
in "Faust" uses the common blue bottle
with similar questions. In England the
ash leaf is sometimes employed to ascer
tain the faithfulness of an absent lover,
and the Irish maiden learns of her future
by putting a shamrock in her shoe, after
which she walks abroad, and the first
man she meets or one of his name will be
her husband. New York Advertiser. .
Some 2fow Tork Breakfasts.
Nearly every German bakery on Third
avenue serves breakfast and luncheon to
the furnished room population of the
east side. Some serve eggs and cold
meats, coffee, tea and chocolate. The
majority, however, provide only coffee,
tea, rolls and cakes. Nino out of ten
of the customers take coffee and cake.
The latter is not .the French or Ameri
can kind. It consists of four varieties
dear to the German palate apple,
peach, prune and sugar. The last
named is also called cinnamon. It is
made of bread dough on the upper sur
face of which is spread some butter,
sugar and cinnamon. Then it is baked
hard.
The peach and apple cakes are made of
thinly rolled bread dough.surmounted by-
slices of apples or peaches, as the case
may be. "When a little butter and sugar
have been placed between the slices, the.
baker has approached as near perfection
as possible. The dough of the prune cake
is mado like the other and covered
thickly with mashed stewed prunes.
In the best bakeries a slice of any of
these cakes from four to five 'inches
square is sold for 5 cents. A good cup of
coffee or tea with milk and sugar costs
the same. Those who like light and sweet
breakfasts can thus be satisfied for 10
cents. Probably 5,000 east eiders eat
such breakfasts in the bakeries every
morning. New York Sun.
FOB, LITTLE FOLKS.
A Uttle Child's Hanger.
Some very pathetio' scenes accompa
nied the distribution of bread by the
varioas relief committees in the poverty
sMekom districts. One woman, with
tmagtrV Unas written plainly on her
face, easM to the house where food was
diatribated, bringing with her a half
faauiahed child. In one corner ef the
barely furnished room was a wooden ta
biepiledbifh with loaves of bread.
The anther stepped hesitatingly in,
her Utile one .clinging, half shy, naif
feared, to her dress. She gave her name
and address, as each applicant was re-
quired to do, and then started to tell her
story of destitution and want. She had
hardly begun before the little girl, peep
ing from behind tho projecting skirts,
spied the bread on the table near by. She
sprang forward, and before any one
could stop her, even if they had had a
desire to do so, she picked up a loaf. Her
tiny fingers seemed imbued with an un
usual strength, and she tore a large piece
from the loaf and began devouring it as
fast as she could.
"My poor child," gasped the mother
as she sank into a chair and burst into
tears, "even I did not know how bad
your hunger was. We have had nothing
to eat for several days excepting a few
slices of bread that I guarded for my
Uttle girl."
The young men hesitated not an in
stant to fill the woman's arms to over
flowing and told her to come for more
when she needed it. Philadelphia Press.
The Origin of Starching.
The course of history carries us back
no (further than the year 1564 for the-'
origin of starching in London. It was
in that year that Mistress YanderPlasse
came with her husband from Flanders
to the English metropolis "for their
greater safety," and there professed her
self a starcher. The best housewives of
the time were not long in discovering
the excellent whiteness of the "Dutch
linen," as it was called, and Mistress
Plasse soon had plenty of good paying
clients. Some of these began to send
her ruffs of lawn to starch, which she
did so excellently weU that it became a
saying that if any one sent her a ruff
made of a spider's web she would be
able to starch it. So greatly "did her
reputation grow that fashionable dames
went to her to learn tho art and mystery
of starching, for which they gladly paid
a premium ot xa or xo, and for the se
cret of seething starch they paid gladly
a farther sum of 20 shillings. New York

A Hair Splitting Bishop.
It is recorded of a certain hair split
ting English bishop, who was accus
tomed to compose his "charges" in the
train, and whoso desk was always placed
opposite to him, that he invariably .treat
ed it as though it were a living vis-a-vis.
Tho train being very full on one occa
sion, a would be passenger inquired if
this place was taken, and the bishop,
with his sunniest smile) expressed regret
that there was no room. "I don't think
that was quite right, my lord," said one
of his fellow passengers. "What was
not right?" inquired his lordship urbane
ly. "To say that the place was taken."
"Pardon me, I did not say that it was
taken; I was particularly careful to use
the word 'occupied.'" San Francisco
Argonaut.
He Was a Senator.
Senator Allen of Nebraska is. a big.
burly man who looks like a prosperous
dealer in live stock. Shortly after his
arrival in Washington he was stopped at
the door of the senate chamber by a new
doorkeeper, who informed him that no
one save senators was allowed on the
floor. Mr. Allen smiled sadly, waved his
hand and said: "Very well, sonny, I'm a
senator. I don't look it, I know, but I
am, just the same," and passed into the
sacred precincts. Chicago Herald.
A Stubborn little Queen.
Little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
is credited with the possession of a par
ticularly intractable temper, which she
inherited from her disreputable old papa.
Not long ago, while driving out with
her governess, she became sulky and re
fused to return the salutes of the people
in the streets. As a punishment she was
ordered to bed immediately upon her
return to the palace.
"What!" she exclaimed, "am I, the
queen of the Netherlands, to go to bed
at 7 o'clock? I won't do it."
But she did do it, being persuaded
thereto by a sUpper wielded by the
queen regent, who brooks no disobe
dience.
The Blackbird Legend.
Jan. 80 and 31 and Feb. 1 are known
at Constantinople, Brescia and along the
Danube and the Rhine as "blackbird
days," through a curious legend that
originally all species of blackbirds were
white, andthat they became black dur
ing' one year in the middle ages when
the three days mentioned above were so
cold that the birds in Europe took refuge
in the chimneys.
.DESCRIBE YOUR FRIEND,

sfit Seerea of Others.
"He was a young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore a dark suit; was about 5
feet in height and looked like a married
man. Anybody would know him." Such
was the description turned in by a young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editor's office and wanted to advertise
for Chalmers. It appeared that Chalmers
bad left home, and nobody knew why,
and this young woman had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back. It was a good example
of the average person's power of descrip
tion of a feUow being.
It is totally inadequate! Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give a creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of a person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp a
thorough idea of bis appearance with a
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex
pound to him that such and such a man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is a jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race in general.
The other day when I rushed into my
office room with a column story on the
end of my tongue or at tho tip of my
pen, to be more accurate I was given
this greeting:
"Hello! Aman has just been in to see
you."
"What did he look like?"
"Oh, he was a good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much so."
"Was he old or young?"
"About 20 or 25, 1 should say."
"What color of hair?"
"I don't remember now. However, I
don't think he had a mustache."
"How dressed?"
"Oh, just an ordinary business suit."
Have you ever heard such a descrip
tion? If not, watch yourself next time
you teU of some one's call. You will bo
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race.
Why is it?
I don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
of intelligent observation.
There was once a boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. At first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in a show window by merely seeing it
once. Boston Herald.
THE MARBLE MAN."
A Fattest SaSerlag- Freas a Peculiar Die-
ease Ia a St. Louis Hospital.
There is a "marble man" at the City
hospital. He is whiter than the alabas
ter statue Dixey makes in "Adonis," and
the "driven snow" would soil his cheeks.
Not only is his skin absolutely colorless,
but his tongue, gums and finger nails
are devoid of all hint of blood dyeing.
He is believed to be the first patient suf
fering from the peculiar ailment he is
afflicted with that ever stepped inside
St. Louis. As is proper with such a
very distinguished disease, it has a very
aristocratic name anchylostomum do
denale. A very, very rare little worm is en
gaged in merrily sucking the red cor
puscles, or life giving, element, from this
poor fellow's blood, and if the unwel
come tenant is not gotten rid of pretty
soon the patient will fade away to a
shadow and die from sheer lack of nour
ishment, though bis stomach be full of
food. Albert Abbink, a young man who
came from Germany, is the patient, and
he isn't at all proud of it either. He
looks like a marble statue, and a very j
skeletonish ono at that, and has great
difficulty in moving around owing to his
weakness.
Though this peculiar disease, or affec
tion, is very rare in this part of the
country, it is common enough in Italy
and Germany. The worms are supposed
to be in certain kinds of muddy water,
nnd it has been noticed that brickmaker.
and pottery operatives in tho old country
nro peculiarly apt- to get them. VV nen
the great St. Gothard tunnel was be
ing dug it was discovered that nearly
every workman 'engaged upon the job
Buffered from this plague. It was first
noted in Eyypt, and from this fact the
weakness was named Egyptian chloral
Scientists are pretty certain thr.t the
Pharaohs had it, and some are inclined
to believe that tho plague of toads men
tioned in holy writ was none other than
the plague of anchylostomum dode-
nale.
Dr. Marks believes he can assist Ab
bink in getting nd of Ids high toned
parasites, several of which now occupy
a glass slide under his microscope. They
are about an eighth of an inch in length,
and under tho magnifying glass look like
white alligators. They have tremendous
jaws and wear their eggs scattered along
their backbones. St. Louis Globe-Dem

was bending over the hand of a new
customer.
"Do 3'ou want yonr hands bleached?
she asked.
"Yes."
She appUed the bleach, using more
than the ordinary quantity upon the
thumb and forefinger of the right hand.
After working for about five minutes
she stopped and said:
"It is always difficult to remove nico
tine with the first application."
"Wh-a-a-t?" gasped the society girl.
elevating her eyebrows. "Nicotine?
What do you mean?"
"The cigarettes, you know," replied
the manicure. "It's perfectly awful how
they stain the fingers, ain't it?"' And she
smiled a smile that even the society girl
couldn't resist. That made them friends,
and they fell to discussing the different
brands of cigarettes. And when the job
was done the society girl whispered:
"What'll take the stain off?"
"Use lemon juice I do wo all do."
"Thanks." New York Herald.
A Skeleton Declared to Be That of an In
dian, but Tliero Are Some Who Doubt It.
Justice Cooper and a jury, in the ab
sence of Coroner Moore, held an inquest
at Babylon, N. Y., the other day over
the skeleton which was unearthed on
the property of John S. Foster yester
day by some men engaged in digging
post holes. A number of old residents
of the village were sworn, but were un
able to throw any light on the subject
or identify the remains. They all stated
that they could not recollect the sud
den disappearance of any man. The
oldest witness, however, said that tho
ground where the skeleton was found
had never been used as a graveyard.
Charles I. Bedell, a resident of that
portion of the town and a farmer, owner
of the property, stated that he had plowed
the ground in question about eight years
ago. From this it would seem that had
the body been there then it would have
been unearthed, as it was only 18 inches
under ground. The jury returned a ver
dict stating that in its opinion the skel
eton was that of an Indian who had
been buried about 40 years and'had come
to his death from natural causes.
Tho village people generally believe
that it was the skeleton of a murdered
man whose body was brought ashere
and buried.

Once, a few weeks ago, while they
were in Chicago with their mother and
sister, they had been going through one
of the big dry goods stores. Edith missed
her sister and started to find her. Then
she saw, or thought she saw, Edna some
distance off, and called to her. It was
only when the crowd jostled her against
the frame of the big mirror that she
found out she had mistaken herself for
her sister.

About Opals.
The prejudice against opals appears to
bo disappearing. Anyhow the are pop-
I ular. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious, or noble, or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the colors,
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Then comes the fire opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow reflec
tion. The former comes from Hungary,
the fatter from Mexico. The common,
or semiopals, aro nonopalescent. The hy

Mrs. Grant's Hunt For a Horn.
Mrs. Grant has determined to make
her future homo in Washington, and
during her recunt sojourn here spent
most, of her time in house hunting. Al
most every available residence in the
West End now vacant was offered for
her consideration through the various
real estate agents, and it is safo to
assert that she made an exhaustive ex
amination of no less than 50 before
Ieaviug for New York with her daugh
ter, without coming to any definite con
clusion in regard to a selection. Those
that suited her fancy did not suit her
purse, nnd when houses desirable in both
these respects were offered for her ap
proval, the locality, as a rule, proved
unsatisfactory. Mrs. Grant has not giv
en up hope of ultimate success, and can

It Contains Two Classes Whose Rights
Be So Identified Differ Radically.
A London correspondent in a recant
letter to a Now York paper says: We
have been told this week bv Ladv
Charles Beresford that the real London
society, which includes "those who are
there by right, and whom nothing can
remove as long as their fortunes sur
vive," consists of only 30 or 40 families.
So called London society, she declares,
includes two classes, one of them being
those who are there, not of right, but by
force, and who remain by dint of labor,
thinking no cost too excessive to pay for
the privilege of meeting with the great,
The other section consists of those who
are still anxious to obtain admittance
into what appears to them to be a social
paradise, and who still hope, and have
every right to hope, to succeed, despite
all the ridicule lavished upon them.
On the delicate and much-vexed Ques
tion of the morals of society, Lady
Beresford says that the real question is
whether the rircle in which immorality
is so openly practiced is widening. She

Xa Frozen Itassla.
In Bussia, where the cold is very in
tense, the markets are Tery curious
things. The meat is frozen; the carcases
of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand
upright outside the stalls; everything,
even game and poultry, requires to be
thawed before it can be cooked, and the
market people's dress is as picturesque
as it is warm and comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all the
winter long, and so thick is the ice that
every one can skate, anywhere and any
'time. 5-Stalls are put-up on the ice and
busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Bussia the peo
ple live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur of the Russian animals is
Tery beautiful the ermine, fox, sable,
sea otter and others.

Working For a Holiday.
An Englishman stopping at one of the
hotels was commenting upon the ex
treme restlessness and incessant go of
Americans. He said. "You Americans
have such a beastly idea of tho compen
sation of work."
"What do you mean?" questioned a
Pitt8burger standing near by.
"Oh, you people work forinoney," was
the explanation.
'I don't see anything beastly about
that," was the retort. "May I ask for
what you Englishmen work?'
"Why, wo work for ourholidav," was
the reply. Pittsburg Dispatch.
Vienna.
Vienna is of nearly circular form, be

called the Glacis, which has been ele

Tollemaclie's Consideration.
Of the late Lord Tollemache's consid
eration for others an amusing instance
has been related by his brother. One
day, at Peckforton, he came down ear
lier than was his wont and happened to
look into the drawing room. He found
the room "not done" and littered with
brushes and dusters. Extremely dis
pleased he rang the bell impetuously,
and the inculpated housemaid was sum
moned, but when she appeared, instead
of administering the intended rebuke,
he apologized to her for coming into the
room so early, and was so full of excuses
for his untimely visit that she said at
last, "Pray, don't mention it, my lord."

Telephoning Through Snow.
Professor A. H. Thompson, chief of
the United States Geological survey, re
turned from the Black Hills a few even
ings ago. The government has two par
ties in tho hills, one at Rapid City and
the other at Deadwood. The professor
found the Rapid City party entirely
snowbound and tells a tale of how ho
got communication with them. He
worked his way toward the men until
he came -within speaking distance. By
that time further passage seemed to be
impracticable, but by accident they had
occasion to resort to a peculiar expedi
ent. They talked through the snow.
The snow acted as a conductor of sound,
and with some difficulty they made one

Sir James Crichton Browne, the Eng

a popular lecture last week that insom

It is not as dangerous as the solicitude of

brains of literary men, who are the most
frequent victims, acquire the trick of

Smelling Out Bank'ills.
If a bill must be sent in a letter, the
safest plan is to roll it tightly into the
shape of a lamplighter and lay it in the
fold of the sheet inclosed. Arranged in
that fashion, the fact that it is money
cannot well be distinguished by the
"feel." A thread, with a knot at the
end, will not be so likely to fetch a tell
tale fragment of the fiber paper when
drawn by means of a needle through the
envelope, and the smell of it will be less
perceptible. So peculiar is the effluvium
belonging to bank or treasury notes that
experts at the bureau of engraving say
that they can distinguish them when
eealed in envelopes by the nose every
time. A thief once showed to govern
ment detectives who had caught him
thathe could pick out, while blindfolded,
from a pile of 400 letters everyone of
