Twice over in tho story a smart young woman is made to rtescrilsa cer tain artich-s of costume in a bride's troiibseuu as "quit too awfully trotty for words."

"A family named McDonald live way back in the wildernees of the Molni river. It consist of the husband, Rod erick McDonald, hi wife and hi sister, both young women. They have a snug little farm in there, and keep few cat tle. ' Their moat valuable poaeeftsion in that line was a yoke of steers. One day McDonald was obliged to go to one of the settlement several miles away, and his business was ts k-nji him ow night His wife and suiter wore left alone to look after thing daring his absence. Just before dark a great hollowing wai heard among the cattle in the barnyard. The sounds were of such an nnusual char actor that the two women became satisfied that they were cries of terror. Mrs. McDonald, armed with a pitchfork, and her sister, carrying an ax, hurried to the barnyard. " "There they found an enormous bear, standing defiantly between the proetrate bodies of the two stwrs, each of which be had felled to the ground and killed. The other cattle were huddled in terror in a corner of the yard. The bear growled and snarled and showed his t"eth as the women approached, but, iu spite of his terrible front and threaten ing attitude, the sight of the steers lying dead on the ground was more than the plucky young women could stand, and they rushed with desperate intent ou the snarling bear. T11RY KILLED TUB BRAE. "Mrs. McDonald charged with her pitchfork and thrust iU sharp, long tine deep into the bear's neck. The bear gave a howl of pain, and striking the handle of the pitchfork a powerful blow with one forepaw he wrenched it from Mrs. McDonald's hand and sent it fly' ing acres tne barnyard. While the bntr was doing that Mis McDonald pitched into him with tho ax, and at the first blow disabled one of his terriblo foreleg. The Wf tnmod on her and she rained blows thick and fast upon him as she backed slowly awny. Mrs. McDonald quickly regained poHWwBion of the pitch fork and renewed her attack on the bear. "Iietween the attacks of the two de termined and plucky women the buar wiu so badly h;inined that he made an effort to ewapo from the field, but the women pnawd him too cltwely. The battlo was not of long duration, for the hiHty blows of the axe in the girl's hands aud the dwp and painful stubs inflicted by Mrs. McDonald with her pitchfork soon hail their effect on the bear, big and tough as he was, and in tun uiinntes aftor the Cght began he was Btretclu-d dead by the side of hi victims, the two steers. Th two nervy women had their clothing nearly stripped from them by the claw of the bir, but beyond a few scratches they were not injured. "They were, not on the some In time to save the valued gU-rs, but their pluc in avenging the death of the caUle arotiM-d so much cntbmiiaMU and ad miration at the settlement that a purse was raised among the lumbermen and hnuiers, with which il.olhcf yob steers wa bought aud premnUxl to Mrs. McDonald and her brave little sinter. ' ANOTIIKIl WOMAN'S KHAR. "In that same Mollis river wilderness, but nearer tho headwaters, uves during the summer and sometime a)ntea the middle of Novemlier, if the weather not too severe, a family named Bake They re rton people, but on account of the health of one of the family, who Is benefited by the spruce and pine air of tlie region, they spend most of the year in their commodious cabin in the Molus woods. "Daker's wife is a pretty woman of alxiut thirty, and hat. learned to handle the rifle like an old woodhman. She in sibted ou making one of a pmty thai had formod to rout out and kill a big bear that had been located in a swamp a mile or so from Mm cabin, bho was stationed by the guide at a spot where in his judg ment the lar would not be likely to come out when the dogs got after him, as be had no faith in a woman s ability to stand and shoot at a bear as it Ixjuncod into eight out of a thicket. "Ills Judgment was right, for w'ik-u the dogs got on the. track of the boar Mrs. linker heard .hem taking a course that would fetch brnin ont of the swamp at a place where she would he unable to -e it or get a shot. But she wasn't there to lie fooled, and she started on a rnn fur Um spot where the bear was evidently headed for, and she got there before any one elm did. The bear, a tremendous big fellow, as black as ink, broke through the thick brush on the edge of the swamp, and was putting iu his bent lick acrox th Mining for cover on the other side. Hut he never rvacbed cover. Mr. Daker put one rifle bull close behind hi left shooliler and anotlior through hi loins. Wbeu the guide, Mr. Bukcr and another member of the party came tearing to the spot, Mrs. Uaker wa kitting on the rare of the bear as cool as a etienm her, and with mock disgust exclaimed: ' " 'You're a nice lot of hunter, I de clare!

People living' in apartment costing' a high as $1,000 a year, and in the new quarter of Paris in the n&ghborhood of the Champs Elysees, when they wish to bathe, other than take a sponge bath in small portable tub, either go to the puhlio lathing establishments or send to them to have a bath brought to their apartments.

They are made entirely of copper and are about S feet long, 20 inches deep at t'ne end and 18 inches ou the side. ; The driver of this vehicle is perched np high on a small seat in front, is bare headed and Wears a blouse. On eack side of him an iron ring encircle a cop per colored vessel, holding about three gallons of hot water, wuicb rests on little shelf. lie also carries a supply of dry towels and sheets. The bathing es tablishments have these curts, and when a patron semis word that he wants a hot bath at a certain hour the bath is put on the cart, the kettle filled with hot water, and the cart with its strange load is rapidly driven to the building in which the apartment is. ' The driver carries the bathtub, as an Adirondack guide carries a canoe, on his head and shoulders, from the first to the fifth floor, a the case may be, and after spreading a sheet to protect th carpet, he Spreads tlso a clean het in side of the tub, so that the bather dot not touch th metal.
