The Bes. Bear Story OF the Season.

The Roseburg (Oregon) PIaindealer
relates: A correspondent writing from
Canyonville sends us the following in
teresting incident which occurred near
that place: About ten days since.
Henry Blann and his wife, of CANYON
vile precinct, went out into the noun
tains to look after their sheep. When
about three miles from home his two
dogs got after a bear, and after severe
chase succeeded in compelling the bear
to climb tree. About the time that
Mr.. Bland and his wife reached the foot
of the tree another ferocious bear put
III an appearance and savagely attacked
the dogs In the immediate presence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bland. The fight now
became animated and furious, dogs and
bear rolling over each other in the death
struggle down deep mountain into the
canyon below. Bland was armed with
a Henry rifle, but dared not shoot for
fear of killing his dogs. Now came the
question how to rescue the dogs; only
two cartridges were in the rifle, and
these had to be used to the best advan-
tage Mrs. Bland urged her husband
to go TO the assistance of the dogs,
while she, alone and unarmed, under
took TO keep the ferocious monster up
the tree. He started down into the
canyon to where the conflict was raging,
guided by the growls and yelps of the
dogs and bear. He arrived not mo-
ment too soon, for Bruin was evidently
getting the best of it, and would only
be pacified by the last shot from the
now empty rifle.
1t was dark when Bland returned to
his wife at the foot of the tree. The
situation was anything but fatttering.
The empty rife was of little use, and
upon the determination of Mrs. Bland
to sit up with the bear, he started for
home for more ammunition. The lady,
being reinforced by the bleeding dogs,
now felt sure that she was mistress of
the situation. With no fire, far from
home, in the midst of craggy noun
tains, this indomitable lady dared to
hold at bay one of the most ferocious
monsters of the forest. The bear, not
liking his new home, determined to
descend the tree, but our heroine. with
a stick and the barking of dogs, COM
PEELED Bruin to take a SOBER second
thought, and, taking up position on a
lower limb, with eyeballs of fire he
stared at the scene below; but our
buntress was not dismayed by the pres
ence of her horrible companion, but
stood guard until 10 o'clock, when her
husband and another man came to her
assistance. She then started for home
through the deep canyons and gorges of
the mountains entirely alone, and it was
midnight when she safely arrived at
her own dwelling.
The next morning, as soon as it was
sufficiently light, the bear was shot.
He proved to be one of the largest of
those known as the cinnamon variety.

Patrons of Husbandry and their Num-
her

The weekly circular issued here from
the Office of the National Grange gives
statement of the number of subordi-
nate and State Oranges. which Illus
trates in a striking manner the rapid
growth OF the organization On Satur-
day, the date of latest dispatch. the
total number of Oranges was 1914: the
membership being 643,12 From the
LIST to the Odd inst. the number of
Oranges organized was 789. During
the present year, so far, the number Of
new Oranges organized IS 6,257, dis
tributed as follows: January, 153 Feb
ruary, 347; March, 665; April, 81;
May, 696 June, 625 July, 612 Aug
ust, 500; September, 919; October,
1,05O; November ODD, 7S9. The high
est number organized during any
month of 1872 was 100; the lowest. "a.
The following States have no State

Colorado, 2; and Washington 5, while
Canada has Oranges.
State Oranges are organized in the
following States and Territories, while
the number of subordinate Oranges
named are included in each jurisdiction:
Arkansas, SO California, III Georgia.

South Carolina, 1907 Tennessee, 229
Texas, 81; Vermont, 81; West Virginia,
% +; Wisconsin, 251, and in Dakota, 30.
The total number of Oranges in the
South, o. rather former slave States, is
1916.
In New England there are but forty
four Oranges organized, and none are
found in Connecticut or Rhode Island.
Delaware is the only other State with
out Grange up To date The order
has grown with great rapidity in the
former slave States, especially those in
the further South. Singularly enough,
the order has its largest existence in
South Carolina, as TAR as the South is
concerned. No question of color has
yet arisen, and it is believed that
that matter is easily controlled. The
largest number of organized Oranges
are found in Kansas, according TO popu-
lation, while Iowa and Missouri give
the largest percentage Of membership.
So far the Southern adhesions are from
the small Observation-Disclosures, and ap-
pear to be desirable acquisition.

New Use for Steam.

Apropos of project for keeping the
Erie canal from freezing by means of
steam-pipes, the Springfield Daily
Union "goes one better" 1t proposes
to prevent railroads from being blocked
up with snow by making the rails hol-
low, and filing them with steam, SO that
the snow would melt on them as it fell.
In both cases it is probable that steam
is suggested because the projects would
not hold water. Some years ago MIR.
Witkin, an English engineer, proposed
to keep the st. Lawrence at Quebec
open during the winter by projecting
stream of boiling water into it /; but as
is too often the case with the inspira-
tons of great intellects, the projecs was
suffered to collapse for want of faith
in it.

A SIMPLE WATER-TEST. water
should be free from color, unpleasant
odor and taste, and should quickly af-
ford lather with a small portion Of
soap. The following simple test to
show whether water is fit for general
use is given in recent paper by Herr
Heisch on the pollution of water by
sewage. If half pint of water I've
placed in a perfectly clean, colorless,
glass-stoppered bottle, few grains of
the best white lump-sugar added, and
the bottle freely exposed to the day
light In the window of warm room. the
liquid should not become turbid even
after exposure for week or ten days.
If the water becomes turbid, it is open
to the grave suspicion of sewage con-
tamination but if it remain clear, it
is almost certainly safe.

The execution of the notorious Count
ess Du Barry is described as.follows by
an eyewitness: "Upon arriving at the
Pont au Change / found a very large
crowd assembled there. / had no need
to ask the reason of the assemblage, for
ut that moment heard the most ter
rible cries, and almost Immediately saw
come out of the court of the Palace of
Justice that fatal cart which Barrere
has called the bier of the living A
woman was in that cart, which slowly
drew near the Spot upon which / was
standing. Her figure, her attitude, her
gestures, expressed the most frightful
despair. Alternately red and deathly
pale, she struggled with the executioner
and his two assistants, who could scarce
ly hold her upon the bench, and utter
ing those piercing cries which had first
arrested me, she turned necessarily
from one to the other invoking pity. 1t
was Madame du Barry, being conveyed
to execution. Only about forty-two or
forty-three years of age, she was still,
in spite of the terror which disfgured
her features, remarkably beautiful.
Clothed wholly in white, like Marie
Antoinette, who had preceded her a
few weeks previously on the same
route, her beautiful black hai,- formed a
contrast similar to that presented by a
funeral pail cast over q coffin. In the
name of heaven, she cried amidst her
tears and sobs, save me, save Inc L
have never done III to any one; save me!'
The delirious frenzy of this unfortunate
woman produced such an impression
among the people that those who came
to gloat over her sufferings had not the
courage to cast at her word of insult.
Every one around appeared stupefied,
and no cries were heard but hers-but
hers were so piercing that l believe
they would have drowned even those of
the mob had they been uttered. Dur
ing the whole route she never ceased
her shrieAs for Life life 7 and to
struggle frantically to elude death,
which had seized upon her already. Up
on arriving at the scaffold it was neces-
sary to employ force to attach her to
the fatal plank, and her last words were,
Mercy mercy But one moment
longer, but one and then all was
STILL"

Former Chief Justices.

The nomination of Attorney General
Williams for Chief Justice OF the United
States is a respectable appointment,
but not the best that could be made.
When Grant was IN the army everybody
gave him credit for selecting the right
man for the right place, and it is posi-
bic his traditional sagacity has led him
Alright IN this instance, but We have our
doubts about it. The six men who have
already held the position OF Chief JUS
tice were eminent in public affairs be-
fore they were appointed, and have all
left brilliant records behind them.
John Jay, the first Chief Justice, had
been Governor of New York, its Chief
Justice, President of the Continental
Congress, Minister to Spain, and Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs under the Con-
federation. While he was Chief Justice
of the United States, he was appointed
by Washington Minis er to England,
the appointment not being at the time
considered incompatible with his Judi
cial position. john Rutledge. the sec
ond Chief Justice, had been President
OF the colony of South Carolina, Gov
ernor of the State, and its representative
III tut SOuIiuelilal 1OuSleSS. OllNtr
Ellsworth, the third Chief Justice, had
been Justice of the Superior Court of
Connecticut, and a Senator in Congress
from that State. While he was Chief
Justice he was appointed special Min
lister TO France, and continued to hold
both offices at the same time. John
Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice, had
been member of the Executive Coun-
Gil of Virginia, a member of the Legis-
lature of that State and of the conven-
ton of the State called TO ratify the
Constitution OF the United States, Min
lister tc France, member OF Congress,
and Secretary of State. He was Secre-
tary of State when he was appointed
Chief Justice, and he held both offices
until the close of the administration of
Mr. Adams. Roger 3. fancy, the fifth
Chief Justice, had been Attorney Gen
eral of the United States and Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. Chase, the sixth
Chief Justice, had been twice Governor
of Ohio, Senator of the United States
from that State, and Secretary of the
Treasury. -MitD0ukee Sentinel.

WoNDERFUL.-A the eye of
some animals is incapable of motion,
as the fly, the beetle, and several OTTER
insects, yet the Creator has shown His
wisdom and goodness in furnishing
their eyes with thousands of little
globules and by placing their eyes
more in front of their head, SO that
these little insects can see all around
them without turning their heads. A
gentleman who has examined the eyes
of a common fly says that the two
eyes are composed of 5000 little glob-
ules, through every one of which it is
capable of forming an image or an OBJ
ject. Having prepared the eye of fly
for the purpose, he placed it before his
microscope, and then looked through
both, in the manner of the telescope, at
a steeple which was 2SS feet high, and
$50 distant, and he said he could
plainly see through every little hemis-
phere, the whole steeple inverted, or
turned upside down.

The new Trinity College buildings at
Hartford arc to consist of four quad
rangles, and they will contain within
them nearly four acres of ground. The
plans contemplate furnishing accommo-
dation for three hundred students,
though at fist dormitories for only one
hundred and fifty will be erected. The
plans have been prepars d by London
architect, and the architecture is to be
the early English which flourished in
the thirteenth century.

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPosIToRIEs.-
General Creswell, in his an
nual report, makes a strong plea for
the establishment of postal savings
banks, though he protests against this
name for the proposed institution. The
general details of his scheme are pretty
well known. All money-order post
offices, as agents of the Government,
would receive deposits In small sums,
ranging from one dollar up to the limit
fixed by law. This money the post
master would forward to the nearest
depository of the United States Treas
ury. The postmaster would give the
depositor certificate fixing the respon-
sibility of the Government for the
amount of the deposit, on which he
would receive interest at the rate Of
per cent. year, dating from the first
day of the month after the deposit is
made. No single depositor would be
permitted to deposit above three humid
red dollars in one year, nor more than
a thousand dollars in all and interest
on deposits may be allowed to accumu-
late until principal ard interest amount
to fifteen hundred dollars. The moneys
thus deposited go directly into the
United States Treasury, which Is re-
sponsible for their payment.

THE bear of the Arctic region does
not hug, but bites his opponent, declin-
ing to eat his captive until life is ex-
tinct. Like cat, he plays with his
victim, whose only refuge when at
tackled is to "play dead, so that when
the bear retreats to enjoy the prospect
of his meal, the gun can be got ready
when he returns.
