From the Ran Francisco Call: 'Bear,” said Mr. Ottinger. “Bear? why, I helped kill a 1,146-pound grizzly just a week ago at Wawaona. Old Jim Duncan, the slayer of ninety-four bears, and I, went out en horseback about ten miles from town after grouse. We walked five or six miles In the hottest weather, and after getting six grouse and a hundred mosquitoes we thought of turning back. But I was so thirsty that I said: ‘Walt here, in the clearing, Jim, till I go down the canon to get a drink.’ 1 went down about 200 feet and had to lay sprawling over some rocks to get a drink. I only took one swallow when two gunshots rang out. Startled at the sound I rose up and ran as well as my weight would let me, back to the clearing. Puffing and blowing I leaned up against a tree and witnessed the strangest sight I ever saw. A big pile of fur lay in a heap on the ground, and the old hunter was just about to Btoop over it to jab his Bowie-knife into it when the bundle rose up like a flash and let out a blow that sent Jim’s musket spinning fifty feet in the air. With that there was the most exciting fight I ever saw. “The bear reared up again and Dun can barely dodged its claws. But Bruin caught his clothes at the neck and ripped them down to his boots. I still leaned against the tree, too Weary from my run and too surprised to go up and shoot the bear. I could see Duncan slip around and his feet got tangled In his torn clothes. He fell fighting with the bear atop; but the bear’s throat was cut from ear to ear. The old man extri cated himself and sliding on the carcass called to me through his nose: ‘Wall, my time hasn’t come yet. Young man, I give you credit for a great deal of coolness for a greenhorn. I’m glad you didn’t open your mouth in this fracas, so many of these fellows think they have to talk when I’m killing a b’ar.’ ” 1 SPLINTER WOUNDS. On Ships of War They Are a Orest Soares of Danger to the Men. The recent war between Japan and Chink has taught the officers of the American navy at least one new thing in the construction of vessels. There will be scarcely any woodwork in the Oregon, that is rapidly nearing comple tion at the Union iron works. This is due to the fact that there were more people killed and injured in the naval battles in the Orient by flying wooden splinters than by the bullets or explod ing shells. Most of the cruisers and bat tleships that took part in the war were constructed with steel hulls, and all of them were more or less protected with heavy armor plates. The interior fit tings and furnishings of the quarters and the deck coverings, however, were of wood. When a shot pierced a hull of a vessel and tore through the wood in the interior of the ship splinters were sent flying in all directions. In most cases the shot passed through the ves sel without injuring any of the crew, but the shower of wooden splinters filled the sick bay and kept the sail maker sewing up the dead in canvas sacks for burial. On the battleship Ore gon practically no wood will be used. All the bulk-heads and partitions divid ing the rooms in the officers’ quarters are to be of iron. No wood will be used on the decks, but instead linoleum will be cemented to the iron deck to prevent slipping. All the doors will be of iron, and all those leading to the decks will be made water-tight. Punishing Children. Moral suasion may do very well foi older children, but I never could ap preciate its powers during babyhood. I read the experience recently of a mother who was a strong believer in the "Come away, baby; there’s a dar ling, now do,” theory, until her own little one began to creep about. Like other babies, he investigated every thing within reach, being especially at tracted by the books which he could j reach and pull to the floor. For awhile, | the mother patiently replaoed the bookB and carried baby away.. Just as often he went back again, until pa tience ceased to be a virtue. Then theory gave way to something more practical—the mischievous little hands were punished and the books were left in peace.—Womankind. Mr. bisks' Accustomed Awakening' “How do you manage to wake up so early every morning?” inquired Boggs of his friend Biggs, who goes to work at S. “Alarm clock," replied Biggs. “I have one, too, but I never hear ii go off.” , “I never here mine, either," declared Biggs. “Then how in the world do you wake up?” “My wife wakes me up every morn ing, saying: ‘For goodness sake, get up and stop the alarm on that clock! It will arouse the neighborhood.’ By the time I am awake it has stopped.” Earning an Honest Pennj. Miss Lily nestles familiarity on the lap of a young gentleman who has been paying his addresses to her big sister all through the springtime of this year. “Tell me, sir, are you well off?” “Yes, my little pet.” "You are very well off?” “Why, what difference can it make to you whether I am rich or not?” “You see, my sister said yesterday that she would give 20 franca to know If you were well off, and I should like to earn the money.” Foreign consuls in China report an increase in the use of Injections of mor phine as a cure of the opium habit. VIOLETS CUBE SNAKEBITE. So Soy* Richard Cook, the Sew Jersey Snake Charmer. Richard Cook, the New Jersey snake charmer, has studied the habits, pecu liarities and characteristics of snakes until they are as familiar to him as the multiplication table. His home Is at the foot of a mountain range about two and a half miles southwest of Glen wood and is contiguous to a number of snake dens in which are pilots and black snakes, and rattlesnakes are fre quently seen sunning themselves upon the rocky slope. Sometimes, when Mr. Cook has leisure, he climbs up to the dens above mentioned and by some hocus-pocus (he declines to tell how) he entices the reptiles from their dens and captures them alive, and the next day he puts a big bo<ful of the writh ing creatures on exhibition in some nearby town. Many a dollar has h# picked up by this means. Last summer was an unusually good season, and he captured 180 pilots and 75 or 80 huge black snakes, one of which measured eleven feet. It looks more like a boa constrictor from South America than a common Jersey black snake, and was as vicious and cunning as he was big. He would sometimes vlcldualy encircle the body df the exhibitor with his coils till you could almost hear the bones crack. ThU season Mr. Cook Is not devoting much time to pilots or black snakes, but has succeeded in capturing four large rattlers, from which he ex tracted several ounces of oil, which found a ready sale at $3.60 an ounce. He says that there is a growing sale for rattle snake oil. It is said to be a Bwift and sure cure for deafness, and, as a balm or lubricator for sore mus cles or stiffened Joints, is far ahead of choloroform liniment or any other remedy known to materia medica. In regard to the poison injected by the bite of a rattlesnake Mr. Cook said it was far more deadly In its effects than that of a pilot and required prompt attention. He has had a painful but not serious experience with each, as his scarred hands testify. When bit ten he never thinks of consulting a doctor or drinking whisky, but gath ers a handful of blue violet leaves and stems and, crushing them, makes a poultice, which he applies not on the wound but on the swelling around it. Upon the bitten part he applies equal parts of salt and indigo. This applica tion is renewed every half hour. Three applications are generally sufficient to effect a cure. Mr. Cook says he has ob served that all snakes lie dormant until blue violets appear in the spring, and that they all disappear after the leaves of white ash trees begin to fall in autumn, and so great is their antipa thy to ash bark or leaves that they will recoil from them as from fire. OVERRUN BY RATS. An Army of Vermin Take* Xkweeulon of nn Inland. The island of Tropic, twenty miles south of the Florida coast, has been in* vaded by an army of savage rats and the inhabitants have been forced to flee for their lives. Tropic is three miles long and two miles wide and the soil is very fertile. A dozen families have settled on the island and engaged in growing vegetables for market. George Butler, one of the settlers, has just reached here, and tells a thrilling story of the invasion and subjugation of Tropic by the rats. Up to a month ago, according to Mr. Butler, there were no rats on the Island. At that time the advance guard of the rodents arrived, and were quickly followed by others, until in two weeks there were fully 10, 000 on the island. The rats came from the mainland, which was only two miles away, and Mr. Butlers affirms that they swam across. He says he has seen them com-, lng out of the water by hundreds. At first the rats contented themselves with attacking the vegetables, which were soon destroyed. Then they invaded the homes of the settlers. The latter made war on the rats, killing hundreds of them. Mr. Butler says he has killed as many as 100 at one shot, and that others would rush forward and attack him. biting him viciously on the legs. In spite of the slaughter the rats got into the houses and attacked the women and children. Several of the latter were badly torn by the sharp fangs of the ro dents. One baby was so severely bitten about the face that its life is de spaired of. For three nights, Mr. Butler says, not a soul on the Island slept, as that would have meant death. At last the people, in terror and worn out, fled in their boats to the mainland, where they are now' camped in a destitute condition. Mr. Butler says the rats pursued them to the water’s edge, and the women and children were repeatedly bitten before the boats could be pushed off. Every vestige of Vegetation had been de stroyed. The rats are described as gray in color and monstrous in size, being larger than squirrels.—New York Rec ord. Actors That Are Thrifty. An actor ought always to have an an chor to windward. Look at Sol Smith Russell. If he hadn't bought up that Minneapolis—or was It St. Paul?— property when It was cheap, could he afford now to play annual engagements in New York? Echo answers very dis tinctly. And now here comes Lewis Morrison. He, too, likes to play New York. He hasn’t any property in the twin cities, but he has a "manor” up the Hudson, and he has a big gas plant there, from which he not only lights his own house, but furnishes illumination for all his neighbors at very low rates. “Shoemaker, stick to your last” was a very good maxim, and still is, but there really is nothing like an anchor to the windward. THE SHOPLIFTER'S- RUSE. *T The Bebjr In Her Venerable Arms Wee Simply a Wax Doll. An elderly woman of very respectable appearance, acompanied by a girl bold* Ing a baby in her arms, waa the object of the sympathetic interest of a goodly, crowd which had gathered in front or a large shop outside which a quantity of wares were displayed in tempting ar ray for sale. The venerable female,who belonged to the light-lingered 'section of humanity, had been detected in the act of helping herself to some linen, but her protestations of innocence and loud lamentations had melted the hearts of the passers-by, who, under the impression that some mistake might have been committed, as is fre quently the case in these big establish ments, espoused her cause with so much vigor that the inspector was about to set her free, when the long cloak which she was wearing slipped ofl her shoul ders and fell to the ground. A complete transformation scene was the result of this accident. The thief stood con fessed. Her dress was provided with a number of hooks, from which a va riety of articles were suspended. Choice lace fans and parasols were among the goods which she had thus cleverly ap propriated, and further attempt at de nial was vain. As she was about to bo conducted to the office of the police commissioner glances of pity were di rected toward her young companion, who was so much distressed at all that had occurred that she burst into tears and dropped the baby at the same time. Kind-hearted spectators rushed for ward to pick up and soothe the infant, and as it remained mute a few pessi mists Jumped to the conclusion that it must have been killed outright by the shock. A nearer inspection, however, relieved their feelings, for the baby turned out to be nothing but a wax doll’s face supplemented with very long clothes containing another collection of stolen goods. The female of respec table appearance and the girl are now under lock and key at the depot of the prefecture of police. BACILLI IN OYSTERS. Ttylnc the Effect of Inocaletlon Upon Hlntm The recent excitement caused by al leged disease originating In oysters has led to some experiments with a view to determine the possibility ot infection from this source, says an exchange. It is found that the bacillus ot ty phoid will live in brackish water for eight days in the rery coldest weather, and a proportionately longer time when the weather is mild. In the examina tion of the oyster, it was found that those in an apparently healthy condi tion had bacteria of various sorts float ing about in the juice. When the sea water is taken into the shell many of the forms of bacteria were destroyed or rejected, as some kinds were not found in the oysters at all. One bacteriologist has inoculated a number of oysters with the typhoid bacilli. The disease germs lived for two weeks in the oysters, but it was not ascertained that they multiplied; and so far as this goes, the result was not conclusive. Furthermore, the oysters were not restored to the water, but kept in a cool place. In order to make sat isfactory examinations it is imperative that all natural conditions should be strictly complied with; the oysters should be brought in contact with in fected water and allowed to assimilate it and any of its contents in the natural way. Experiments based on uhnatura) conditions are ho experiments at all, therefore, the accounts of this method of procedure prove nothing. Ecenomv In Fuel. Professor Carpenter, a writer and authority on the economy of fuel in present engineering methods, states that a study of the tests of boilers w’llch have been made in this line shows, def initely, that a larger percentage of the value of the coal can be utilized when using anthracite and that bituminous coal and even oil can only be burned with large wastes of heat Many who have intimately studied the suuject are of the opinion that a large portion ot the hydro-carbon gas contained in bi tuminous coal is given oil when the coal is first fired and is carried away uncon sumed with large volumes of fresh air before the furnace doors are closed. Whether or not there is absolute proof of this being so, Professor Carpenter thinks there is little doubt that, to suc cessfully fire bituminous coals they should first be gradually heated in the presence of a small amount of air, which will drive .off the gas, and the gas liberated should then be passed over a body of incandescent coals in the presence of sufficient air to produce combustion. Mention is made of the scheme, favored by so the, of drawing the gas downward through a body of incandescent coal, but no automatic de vice will replace an intelligent fireman, though it is admitted that no slight difference exists in the quality of these various machines, and some of them are of practical help.—New York Sun. Ho More Vegetarian Reetaarant. The vegetarian restaurant that whs | opened last winter has been closed up on acoount of a lack of sufficient pat ronage to pay expenses. It made very few converts to vegetarianism, though for a time there were many promising recruits. The novelty of the thing usually wore off In a few days, and the new disciple returned to his fleshly diet with an appetite whetted by bis short abstinence. The regular customers of the place were noticeable for their sal low complexions, and most of them had the appearance of being poorly nour ished. They could hardly be expected to make converts to their mode of liv ing by posing as living examples of the effect of a diet which excluded all | forms of animal food.—New York Sun. the horse in history-. Huy Tblaga Recorded in'Ho»or of the XaMa Steed. Now that th« hone is losing Its im portance as a factor In the travel of the times and all the world is at peace, so that he is not needed in warfare, it is worth «’hlle to cast a retrospective glance over his history, and recall fea tures of past greatness, which must al ways attest his worth. It may he that he will suffer a temporary eclipse only that his record may show all the brighter when he emerges from the en forced retirement now imminent, but that he should disappear altogether from the face of the earth, is an ulti mate possibility which takes on the nature of a calamity. Surely a few no ble specimens will be reserved for the racing Bport, so dear to man, since not even electricity can offer a desirable substitute. The blue-grass trotter proudly points to Ten Broeck, Long fellow, Jay-Eye-See, Lexington, Maud S., the fastest trotters of the century, Ethan Allen, and a host of others, whose names are written indelibly on the horse’s book of peerage, the Amer ican trotting register. Among the horses of the past who led the world’s record were Lady Suffolk, one mile, 2:28; Flora Temple, 2:19%; Dexter, 2:17; Rarus, 2:13%; St Jullen, 2:11%; Maud S., 2:10%. This was wonderful record breaking in each instance, but now the trotter will have to do its mile in two minutes to excite attention. A 2:10 gait is slow to the present generation. And how much were those famous horses worth in their day? Robert Bonner is said to hare paid |33,000 for Dexter, and |36,000 for Rarus; Mr. Van derbilt paid $20,000 for Maud S. He re fused $75,000 for her a few months later. It la said that on one occasion, when General Grant was out driving with Mr. Bonner, behind Dexter, he re marked, that in an artistic sense, the animal in the shafts was vastly supe rior to the two in the sulky, and that they suffered by physical comparison. EXCISE IN ENGLAND. The Laws Are Strictly Enforced, bat Are Liberal la a Right Direction. The hours tor dosing taverns or sa loons on Sunday vary in different parts of the kingdom, greater opportunities being given tor drinking In London than In the provinces. In the London metropolitan district all taverns, res taurants, hotel bars and, in fact, every place where liquor of any description can be purchased, must remain closed from midnight on Saturday until 1 in the afternoon of Sunday. Then the house can open and do business until 3 p. m, when they must close again and remain so until 6 in the afternoon. Then they can open and remain in full blast until 11 at night, but at that hour sharp to the minute every public house door must be tightly closed and every customer off the premises. At 6 in the morning of a week-day the taverns can open, although the more respectable houses do not take advantage of that permission until two or three hours later in the morning. Closing time on a week-day is 12:30 a. m., except on Saturday nights, when it 1b sharp mid night. Christmas Day and Good Friday arc the only two other days in the year which are treated as Sundays, so far es the license law goes. The four bank holidays, which are legal national holi days, are the greatest days of all the Tear for the public houses. A Natural Financier. A group were talking a few evening! ago about some remarkable exhibitions of “nerve,” when one said: "I think I saw about as 'nervy' a display of im pudence as I ever heard of in a cigar store in this city a few days ago. A young man came in and asked for two ten-cent cigars, throwing a half dollar on the counter. The clerk gave him the goodB, and tendered him in change thirty cents—a nlckle and a Canadian twenty-five cent piece. The customer object to taking a Canadian coin when the clerk said: 'Well, sir, I am perfectly willing to give you American money, if you prefer it, but suppose you first give me an American half dollar for this Canadian flfty-cent piece you gave me.' ” ---_• ■ A Cheeky Little lemb. The Rev. Dr. Meredith, a well-knowi clergyman, tries to cultivate friendly relations with the younger members of his flock. In a recent talk to his Sun day-school he urged the children to speak to him whenever they met The next day a dirty-faced urchin, smoking a cigarette and having a gen erally disreputable appearance, accosted him In the street with: “Hullo, doctor!” The clergyman stopped and cordially Inquired: “And who are you, sir?" “I’m one of your little lambs,” replied the boy, affably. “Pine day." And tilting his hat on his head he swaggered off, leaving the worthy di vine speechless with amazement. Saltan and Turkey'* Balance. The sultan Is not quite such a fool as our newspapers take him to be. I re member Fuad Pasha—the last of Turk ish statesmen—observing to me many years ago: “Turkey is a chariot to which the great European powers are harnessed. When one tries to pull one way, I flick up the others, who at once pull the other way. Thus the equili brium of the chariot is secured.” Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’* Pair Hlghert Medal and Digicom, .
