All the criminal returns published of

young woman is made to rtescrilsa cer

for words." I have never to my knowl
edge heard the phrase "trotty" nsed in

"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

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.

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. Bunday tiiorning one -see
strange looking two wheeled Cart like
a very high dog cart, on which there i
framework built over the wheels.
This framework can hold three bath
tubs. 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. Ther h carries
up the kettle of hot water which he baa
brought from the main establishment
The necessary cold water he get on th
premium, ell her oa th same floor with
the apartment, or in th courtyard.
When the bather h had his bath, th
attendant remover .no soiled water by
dipping it out, wipe ont the tub and
carries it with In kettle ana totica
towels down stairs to his cart. Th
charge for all this is alKint sixty cents,
with the usual additional tip to the man.
