BATTEEWITHAVOLVES
HE week- before
Christmas, 1S67.
snow had fallen
heavily in northern
Pennsylvania, and
just after daybreak
three men were
pulling a sledge
along the edge of
Laurel Ridge. They
were timber crui
sers, employed by
'lumber companies to locate tracts 01
white Pine and places for tne w
camps. This work had been done, and
thev were returning to the banks of the
Sinncmahoning to do some hunting be
fore .mine home for the Christmas
festivities. ;
The leader, John Mellon, a man or
45, had been in the business for twenty
"years, and was oue of the best woods
men in the state. Rodgers, an ex
soldier, was also a master of wood
craft, while the youngest, Max Baum,
Mellon's nephew, was only 18, and
came from Philadelphia. All were good
shots. They were now twelve miles
from camp, in an old deserted cabin on
the Sinnemahoning. On the way they
had killed a bear and two turkeyB.
The hindquarters of the bear and the
two turkeys were to furnish the Christ
mas dinner, and all were packed on the
sled.
-'"Boys," said Mellon, -"we did a
mighty foolish thing to leave the offal
of that bear on the ground. We had
oughter hung it up. The hard weather
in the mountains has driven the wolves
this way, and they may track us.
Look at the dogs; I believe they smell
I. danger. I was treed once by gray
wolves in Potter county and lost three
of the best bear "dogs I ever owned.
They was eaten right before my eyes,
and I don't banker after sich a thing
agin. Holy Moses! Stop! Warn'tthat
a wolf howl? Sure. Max, keep the
dogs from goin' back, an' let's light
out. There's an old hay yard some
where here, and we'll make for IL"
The snow was falling in big flakes,
there was no wind, and they could
hear that long, plaintive howl, unlike
anything else that falls on a hunter's
ear. The hair on the dogs stood up,
and they plunged through the snow,
almost upsetting Max.
"Thank the Lord. Here it is. Pull
like bosses."
A hundred yards away was a stack
of meadow hay that had been left, there
years before by lumbermen. It was
surrounded by a strong stake and rider
fence made of heavy poles, to keep the
deer out, and was about twenty-five
feet across.
"Quick; take off the rider; throw the
dogs in! Raise the sled; heave! That's
right. Now the axes. Let's cut some
of these spruces and pack the brush
agin the fence,"
The axes flew, and in ten minutes the
work was done. Guns were examined
and then came a wait.
"I only hear 'two," said Rodgers.
"Maybe that's all there is."
"More like fortjV replied Mellon.
"It's only the leaders that make a
noise. See, thar comes the head of the
pack, running our trail. Blast the
dogs! Their yelling excites the brutes."
The dogs were tearing at the bars,
and. though well thrashed, it did no
good. The leading wolf had smelt
them and slunk into a bush. For a
moment there was a blank silence, and
then came an appallins chorus.
"LET 'EM HAVE IT."
"Great Scott! All the wolves in Elk
county must be after us. Don't shoot
over forty yards, and don't waste am
munition. We can't know how long
they'll hold us up. Thunder! Thar's
the pup loose!"
Sure enough, the youngest dog had
chewed the deerskin tug in two, mount
ed tho fence and charged up the road:
He had not gone forty yards when a
wolf two and a half feet high at the
shoulder darted from the" brush. The
stanch hound had him by the throat
in a second, and threw him. That was
his last act A dozen of the pack
rushed in and covered the lighters.
How their bushy tails wagged, and the
men could hear their steel jaws clash.
"Now, men. let 'em have it!" and the
guns cracked; but. becoming infuriated
by the smell of blood, and, ferocious
wiih hunger, the pack tore the flesh of
their dead mates. Again a volley was
fired into the mass. Then they broke
and plunged into the timber.
Eleven lay dead and wounded. Mel
lon had a double rifle, Mas a double
barrel, loaded with buck, and Rodgers
a Springfield.
"Wolf pelts is worth $3 apiece, but
I wouldn't have lost that dog for all
the hides 'twist this and the York line.
Warn't he game?" said Mellon.
"Them pelts won't be worth a bit
apiece, Mellon. They'll eat 'em all be
fore they leave. Hear! There's new
ones coming every niimite."
And so it proved. A wave of black
and gray came down the road in full
cry and jthrew themselves on the re
mains. Even the hardy hunters felt a
trafSor. What chance would they have
if these gray demons scaled the fence?
It took three point-blank vollevs to
drive them back. The wounded howled
and bit themselves in frenzy. Although
an hour's respite was given, there were
evidently new arrivals every minute.
Now and then a niFh could be heard
through the brush like the tramping of
a drove of ponies.
All the attacks had been from one
quarter, but it was. evident that they
were being surrounded. The dog made
a rush for the fence behind, and Mas
yelled: "Here they are on our backs!"
Sure enough, half a dozen were making
a charge not ten yards away. Three i
were shot and the rest retreated.
"Men, this is serious. If they get in
side, we're goners. Our only chance
will be to fire the hay and take to these
two big pines outside, if we can. I tell
you. if we get out of this on our legs,
we'll have something to be thankful
for."
It was new moon. The snow bad
stopped falling and it was getting very
'cold. The men ran around the iiiclos
ure to relieve their numbed limbs. The
-pack was opened and a piece of raw
Mlt Hrk, cut lat illctti was catta
with tar tttk."

"Mr toicm it test in ay mouth, Vm
so dry." said Max.
"Well, we most grin ad .ear it
Eatin show aMkes it worse. Hello!
here's a new pack caaia."
Again a surge of gray backs came
snapping and yelling up the road, but
while a dozen threw themselves on th
carcasses, a dozen came for the fence
on a dead-Jope, smelling the provisions,
no doubt. For half an hear it was load
and fire. Four were shot not over ten
feet away. Their red eyes and big
teeth were plainly seen. Finally, un
der the fire, the pack melted away.
"Now, if no more new ones come', we
arc safe for awhile. There must have
been fifty of the last ones see how
they are piled up in the road. We are
about eight miles from the Sinnemaho
ning, and the cold will make it better
sledding. Let's put out," said Rodgers.
"It's taking chances, but 'we can't
stay here all night without fire. Let's
hang these four carcasses up in the
pine, and that, will keep 'em awhile
after they finish the others."
A big. pine stood two feet from the
fence. Mellon got' over and dragged
the dead wolves in. They were very
thin, but as large as" big bear hounds.
Skewering the bind legs together they
were secured to the pine limbs ten feet
up; and now the fence was let quietly
down on the further side and they
stole away. They were not a mile off
when the howling was heard. The
pack was fighting over the dead ones.
All hands took hold of the sled and
kept on a dead run. The snow had
frozen on top and made fair traveling.
"Do your best, men. I believe they
are after us." Coming down the wind
was a sound that made them shiver. '
"Thank God! Thar's the blasted pine.
We're only a short mile away. Let
out yer best licks.'
It was getting dark, but Mellon knew
the road, and it was a great relief when
they struck the clearing and halted at
the door of the low cabin. The mo
ment Mellon pulled the latch string the
dog rushed in and evidently was fight
ing something inside, making a. tre
mendous row.
-"What in thunder's that, a panther?"
Just then a spit and squawl were
heard. All hands sang out: "A cat!"
"Give mo your gun, Max, and hold
the door open."
Away in the far end of the cabin, un
der the eaves, shone a pair of eyes.
Mellon fired; a loud snarl, and the dog
was tearing something. on the floor.
When a light was struck they found
a big wildcat that had come down the
chimney, attracted by some food that
had been left behind. In a short time
bear steaks and salt pork were frying
over the' fire, and all had a hearty
meal.
"Do you know that the man who
built this cabin was killed by wolves
about 1850? Two years after the re
mains of himself and dog were found
in the 'Slashes,' eight miles up the
creek, and a dozen wolf skulls around
him. Well, we've just escaped the
same to-day. and oughten to miss say
in' our prayers to-night,"
Tho wolves howled around the cabin
all night, but were gone inthe morn
ing, and with the assistance of a big
jug of cider, roast turkey, bear meat,
with maple sugar sauce, Christmas
day, 1867, was joyfully spent in the
wilds of Elk county. Philadelphia

A CURIOUS IRON MINE.
The Workmen I'ae Their Feet to Find
tbe Ore.
Lake ores are abundant in northern
Europe, but, so far as the writer's
knowledge cstends, Lac a la Tortue and
a neighboring lake are the only in
stances of the kind in Xorth America,
says Popular Science Monthly. The ore
is extracted from our lake mine by
hand and by power. The shallow mar
gin is divided into sections and allotted
to suitable parties who may desire to
work them and who are paid at a spe
cified rate per ton of ore raised. Two
men generally work in company. Their
implements are a' shovel, a strong cir
cular sieve' and a rough hand barrow.
When work is to be begun the workmen
remove shoes and stockings and use
their feet in searching for ore which
lies imbedded in the soft sand, nothing
coarser than sand, except ore cakes,
being found in the lake. Guided by
their feet the workmen put down their
shovels and bring to the. surface a
quantity of ore and sand, which they
throw into their circular sieve; This is
then held below the surface of the wa
ter and made to rotate to and fro until
the soft sand is washed away from the
ore, which is then thrown on a scow
provided for the purpose or carried to
shore. When a sufficient quantity has
been collected it is carted to the rail
way near at hand and loaded on cars.
From the deeper parts of the lake the
ore is raised by means of a steam
dredge. The captain of the dredge
moves over the lake and, putting down
a pole and working it about on the bot
tom, can easily learn where there is a
bedy of ore suitable for dredging. The
dredge is then moved to the desired
spot and work is begun.' The ore and
sand are brought up in buckets on an
endless chain and thrown into a long,
revolving screen, adjusted and inclined
so as to deliver it upon scows moored
to the dredge. In its course down the
screen the mixture, of ore and mud is
acted upon by water which is thrown
upon it with considerable force. By
this means the mud and sand are
washed out of the screen and the clean
ore is deposited on the scows.
A DEVOTEE OF THE WHEEL.
He lMtated l-pon Use Jiackiae IveHae;
Ml Social Barriers.
"I presume upon the fraternity that
exists among wheelmen," said the nat
tily dressed young man as he lifted his
hat on approaching a group of cyclers
at the side of the boulevard, according
to the Detroit Free Press, "I never feel
alone since nearly all the good people
of the world are awheel."
After a gracious welcome he proceed
ed: "I have just returned from abroad
and am convinced that the bicycle is
doing more to level the social barriers
now existing in Europe than is any
other single influence. .In Venice it is
quite the proper thing for a man on a
wheel to greet a lady similarly mount
ed, whether she be attended or alone.
It's a radical departure, but the influ
ence Is good. I made as many desirable
acquaintances as though armed with
the highest social credentials.
"But I want to tell you that the bi
cycle contagion has a stronger hold in
my native city of Denver than
any
where else in tbe world. People so old
that 'they can scarcely walk, children
that have just learned to walk, stately
matrons, smartly dressed servant girls,
ministers, dignifled business men,
judges, lawyers, toilers and gamblers,
all pedal through tbe maze of riders
that crowd the thoroughfares.
"That's a new ene on me," he said,
interrupting himself to examine the
finest wheel in the collection. "It's a
beauty. Do you mind my trying it?"

dry spell in sum
mer the wagon tires
become loose and
cause many a
break-down and re
pair bill, besides
the setting of the
tires, writes Clar
ence J. Norton in
Kansas Farmer.
Blacksmiths charge
50 cents per wheel, or $2 per wagon,
for setting tires, and every one knows
that after the dry spell is over and the
wood in the wheels becomes soaked up
with moisture instead of air, they '(the
wheels) must of necessity swell, or vio
late a law of nature. As they cannot
swell any larger in circumference on
account of the tire, they turn out or
illsb, as we call it and thereby great
ly weaken the wheel. A wheel with
too much dish- is very easily
broken down, and can never be
depended upon until it is entirely re
built, so it will be seen that to set tires
Is only equal to ruining the 'wheeL A
new wagon does hot need the Urea net,
simply because the woodwork ia fulLof
moisture and oil when the Urn isrset
and the paint prevents all evaporation
of the moisture and oil, hence, of
course, the tires remain tight Now, it
will occur to many that if we keep this
paint from coming off, the wood will
not shrink and the tires will remain
tight. This is strictly true, but how
can we do it? Some will say, "Paint
the wagon wheel often." Very well,
this is a good plan; but how many "of
us do it? When a new wagon is about
one year old the paint has got rubbed
off and the tires can be seen to be
slightly- loose that Is, a well-denned
crack can be seen where the iron and
wood touch each other. Now, could this
tire' be shrunk about one-sixteenth of
an inch it would be perfectly tight and
go through the summer all right. But
we can not get a smith to do so delicate
a job. He must shrink them nearly an
inch and put them on quite hot and
"tighten up the wheel." In either of
these cases the wheel will swell out of
shape, more or less, after wet weather
comes on. Now, as the tires be
come loose because the oil and mois
ture evaporate out of the wood, why not
remedy the evil by supplying the oil
and moisture? We all know that if we
should submerge the wheels in a pond
of water they would soak up perfectly
tight and as good as new, but will soon
dry out and be as bad as ever. This
could not happen if. the wheels were
thoroughly- painted before they dried
out, so it will be seen that to swell the
wood with water- and then prevent it
escaping by painting the wheel takes
the place of setting tires and avoids
after dishing of wheel. By the same
rule, if a wheel with a freshly-set tire
be well painted the wood can not ab
sorb moisture, and of course can not
swell and dish out of shape. But there
is a better way than all this. It is to
run. the felloes in hot oil. There are
iron and zinc troughs made for this
purpose. .The zinc or galvanized iron
are the cheapest, and, to my notion, the
best. Take a good-sized sheet of zinc,
sheet-iron or corrugated iron, say two
feet by four feet, and cut'a slot in 'the'
middle to. sink the oil .trough through,
having the trough drop nearly but not
quite through. Nail this metal to the
edges of two six-inch damp boards and
stretch the boards on the ground and
pin them solid with old harrow teeth.
Build a fire of old shingles under the
oil trough, .that is about half full of
paint oil, then set up two posts with
spikes, driven in. them to hang the
wheels on. I used a tumbling rod to a
horse-power, but a xrowbar or post
auger will do as' well. Mark tbe top of
the hub, and just as soon as the oil
comes to a boll, turn the wheel until'!
the next spoke is down in the oil. In
about a minute the oil. will boil again,
and you must turn the wheel again.
Serve the wheel this way three times,
and the hot oil will drive out all the air
in the pores of the wood and take pos
session of the pores itself. As soon as
the wheel is turned a little, the oil on
the felloe will be constantly seen to
bubble, which is the air coming ouf of
the pores to give place to the oil.
Should the wheel in any one place be
allowed to boil fifteen minutes, the
wood will be ruined and will break off
short just like cast-iron will, so you see
there is "too much of a good thing" In
running .a wheel in hot oil. A small
piece of shingle must be added to the
fire at every spoke of the wheel. I
have an old cast-iron cookstovc bottom
that has a low place in the center, and

Iaaeet Enemies of the Grape.
THE GRAPEVINE PIDIA.
During midsummer the leaves of
grapes are frequently riddled with ir
regular holes by tbe attacks of a little
beetle which, when disturbed, falls to
the ground with its' legs folded up
against its body, feigning death, or
"playing 'possum." The beetle is
about a quarter of an inch long, rather
robust and of a brown color, somewhat
whitened Ijy a dense covering of yellowish-white
hairs.. In the nature and
amount of the Injury it does at this
stage it resembles the rose-chafer, for
which it is sometimes mistaken. Fol
lowing the Injury to the foliage, the
vines may be expected, if the beetles
have been abundant, to present a sickly
appearance, with checking of growth
and ultimate death, due to the feeding
on the roots of the larvae: for, as in the
case of the phylloxera, the root injury
is much more serious than the injury
to the foliage. Vines sometimes die
after having developed half, their
leaves, or may survive until the fruit
is nearly mature. Tbe Insect occurs
very generally In the Mississippi Valley
states, from Dakota to Texas, and mere
rarely east of tta Alleghanlfa Me
Muthward te Fleridaj Tta beetle tas

years ago in the first mentioned state
an one of the worst enemies of tta
grape. The work of the larvae has bean
recognised only recently by Mr. Web
ster and others in northern Ohio, bat
It may be looked for wherever the
beetle ocean.
-
Life History. The life history as
worked.out by Mr. Webster is. briefly,
as follows: The yellowish eggs in large
batches are thrust in cracks of the bark
of the old wood, usually well above
ground, aa many as 700 having been
counted on a single vine. Very rarely
are ther placed in cracks of the soil
abodt the base of the vine, but so loose
ly are they attached to the bark that
they hot Infrequently fall to the
ground. The larvae, on hatching, fall
clumsily, to the ground, and quickly dis
appear In cracks in the soil, chiefly
near or just at the' base of the vine.
They feed at first on the fibrous roots
near the point of entrance, but soon
reach the large roots, and completely
denude them of bark, gradually extend
ing outward- through the soil to a
distance of at. least three feet, and
downward to at least a depth of one
foot Most of them, reach full growth
by tho middle of August, attaining a
length of nearly half an inch, and con
struct little cavities or earthen cells in
the soil, in which' they hibernate until
June of .the following year, when they
change to pupae. The beetles emerge
about two weeks after pupation and
begin to feed from the upper surface
of the leaves. With thin-leaved grapes
they eat the entire substance of the
leaf, but with thick-leaved varieties the
downy lower surface is left, giving the
foliage a ragged, skeletonized look.
They feed on any cultivated grape, also
on the wild grapes, which have prob
ably been their food from time lmme
morlaL Most of the adults disappear
by the first of August, a few scattering
individuals remaining until the first of
September.
a
Remedies and Preventives. It is evi
dent that if. tbe beetle can be promptly
exterminated the injury to the foliage
will be. limited, and the subsequent
much greater damage by larvae to the
roots avoided.- The first effort should
therefore be to effect the killing of the
beetles, which may be done by the use
of an arsenical spray, with lime, ap
plying It at the customary strength of
one pound to 150 gallons of water. The
feeding of the beetles on the upper sur
face of the leaves makes them especial
ly easy to. control by this means. If
this be deferred until It is unsafe to
apply an arsenical spray to vines, the
beetles may be collected and destroyed
In tbe manner hereafter recommended
for the rose-chafer. The larvae may
be destroyed about the roots by Injec
tions of bisulphide of carbon, made in
the way already described for the
phylloxera. A-safer remedy and a very
effective one if applied before the end
of June, or before tbe larvae have scat
tered, is to wet the soil about the
vines with a solution of kerosene emul
sion. The emulsion should be diluted
nine times, and a gallon or two of the
mixture poured in a basin excavated
about the base of tbe vine, washing it
down to. greater depths an hour after
wards with a copious watering.
Wages on the Farm.
Those who work by the month on the
farm are apt to regard their circum
stances with disfavor when they hear of
the wages which labor of no higher
grade commands in our large cities, says
Mississippi Farm and Home. But
they will find," if they investigate the
matter, that the farm laborer is usually
as well-paid as his city brother, and
oftentimes a great deal better. In the
city of Pittsburg at present all the car
penters and artisans of a similar grade
that are wanted can be had for $2 per
day. Many can not find work at that
All over the Southern country good,
"common" labor can be bad at prices
from $1 to $1.50 per day. Those who
have contracts for public works, such
as railroads, pipe lines, etc., are over
whelmed with applications for work.
Wages like $1.50. $2 or $2.50 per day,
look pretty big to a man who the year
round makes but 50 cents in cash, but
they are not so big as they look. They
are often inconsistent. A good many
skilled laborers can work only a part of
the year, but rent' and other living ex
penses must be paid all the time. The
city laborer must pay cash for every
thing, including many things which the
farm hand Is either furnished or per
mitted to raise for himself free of cost
Unless a workman of the $2 grade has
constant employment in a city like
Pittsburg he is very likely to And the
balance on the wrong side at the end of
the year. If he has a family to sup
port he must often live in cramped
quarters, and must raise his children
amid surroundings unfavorable to their
physical and moral development Con
trast this picture with tbe man on the
farm, who, if he has a family, is often
furnished a house at little or no cost.
Is often permitted to raise his vegeta
bles, dairy products and meats, and is
paid wages besides. Or with the single
man who is kept, and if economical,
has most of his wages at the end of the
year. The country laborer who inves
tigates the matter thoroughly will be'
very slow to change his certain employ
ment and inexpensive living for a place
where the reverse 13 unfortunately too

fsMBulatud Sugar for Iter.
There Is no feed better or cheaper for
bees than granulated sugar. It should
be thoroughly melted by adding a little
water and brought to the boil. When
light feeding s desired It may be given
them In tight-bottom hives by pouring
a little down in the corner of tbe hive In
the bottom., If heavy feeding is de
sired the sirup may be poured into the
combs, or in feeders placed in upper
stories. The only time to feed success
fully Is late in the evening, just in time
to get the vrork done before dark.
Minnesota Forests: -Estimates jutt
completed by the state forestry warden
of Minnesota show that there are in
that state 10,890,030 ceres of forest land,
and that on this there stands, in addi
tion to other woods, 19,500,000,000 feet
ot white and Norway pine and spruce,
of which the white nine aggregates 14,
.424,000,000 feet. This is a vast total,
but it is being cut down at the rate of
1,500,000,000 feet a year, besides fearful
losses by fire, and the supply will bsfd
ly last more than a dozen years.
Barrels or Boxes. Barrels arc gen
erally used to store and ship applc3 in;
but a New York authority now cldrr.s
that square boxes, with cleats nailed
across the corners of the open tops, are
much better. The cleats strengthen the
boxes and give ventilation when tl-ese
are stacked up. The boxes load iuto
wagons, cars and warehouses more
snugly than barrels and are more easily

OFFERED BY THE
STATE MEDICAL COMPANY
(.Of Nebraska. Incorporated,)
A corporation that has paid $200,000 for a pocrct treatment that litis been tested
in private practice for nearly ten years. Thousands of men who liavo given up
hope of being cured are being fully restored by us to their former selves.
The "Slate Medical Couijftny" ia chartered by, aud under the lava of, the
State of Nebraska, with a capital of 250,000, subscribed by leading bibine? men
of largo means, men who, after the raoct severe experimental tests of this
Magical Treatment, organized themselves into a strong-corporation for the sole
purpose of placing before the public the most wonderful treatment ever known
for tho cure of Lost Vitality and Jtoloration of Lift Force in old and young ir.ei
Thousands of young and old men have indiscreetly sapped the Vital Forces, aiu
shattered the .Nerves, until they have become despondent, irritable, and other
wise discouraged, and many feel that life is not worth living. Thousands of
graves have been filled by suicides from this most deplorable disease.
It causes Loss of Memory. Weakness of Body and Mind., and other difliechitis
which wo can only explain in'our private circulars and letters. "
The original owner of this MAGICAL TREATMENT was uften strongly
urged to place it on the market, but always refused, .-aying: "I cannot advertise
without being classed among the great herd of quacks, who are always preying
upon and humbugging suffering humanity." And, right here, let us hay that when -you
see skfixe-cnrc or a fae-jtrcfcription advertisement, or an advertisement tf .

Wc have NO FKEK TREATMENT, NO FREE PRESCRIPTION, but we .
have a treatment that will cure all eurablo cases, and wo have cured ihoifamU
where the best reined ie known to the highest medical authorities have failul.
When vou tee an advertisement which claims to "cure all," no matter how (,nd.
don't vou believe it. for there arc some cases beyond all medical skill, that even
our MAGICAL TREATMENT cannot cure. But, whore we cannot cure, we
promptlv tell you so, and wc will .cheerfully return every dollar where our
TREATMENTS fail. When any one claims lie can cure so that the dh-f:i- .rill
never return again, lie makes false statements, because these same trou!!t-s ::nd
diseases will return under the same conditions that originally brought then: :: :
but one who has for a time, even a short time, been deprived of his manly vigor- -when

We do not scud medicines C. O. D. until the patient so orders it, and w. '
