Besleged BY a Bear.

A few days since G. W. Colby, the
prominent rancher of Nord, had an ad-
venture in the mountains which gave
proof to the saying that bear hunting is
all right so long as you hunt the bear,
but it's mighty poor sport when the
bear hunts you. He had taken his fam
lily to one of his ranches near the Butte
meadows for a short season of rest, and
being an ardent sportsman he took
along splendid gun, some dogs and
plenty of ammunition. For two or
three days he tramped around the hills,
but found the game rather scarce. But
on his next hunt he had all the sport
he wanted, and seasoned with Just
enough excitement to make it interest
ing. He had gone out late in the after
noon and in a few moments managed
to bag a good-sized bear. While gloat-
ing over his prize he was Mortified TO
hear some furious g1owls, and, turning
round, saw not ten feet distant another
huge "varmint" making straight for
him. He instantly dropped his gun
and Skinned up small sapling with all
the agility of a monkey. The bear had
him treed, and after snufiiug the dead
body of its mate he gave some frightful
yells and came to the tree and camped
for the night. 1t was case of siege,
and things looked squally. The night
was cold and dark, and Mr.. Colby's po-
sition was anything but agreeable, but
he froze to his elevated perch like grim
death to the negro. He was kept there
all night and well along into the next
day, when his tyrant became frightened
at something aud left for the brush.
Mr.. Colby at once left the spot and now
looks for smaller game.-ChicO (COl.)

The KhediEe in Exile.

A correspondent of the Journal de
GeHeUe, who was lately invited to visit
the ex-Khedive of Egypt in his retire
ment AZ Resina, gives some curious de-
tails of the present life of the deposed
Prince. He is described as spirituel, in
telligent and affable, extremely pol
ished in manner and capable of talking
with ease on a vast variety of subjects.
He looks very like a Frenchman and his
guests are invariably delighted with
the reception which he accords to them.
If you chance to arrive about breakfast
time His Highness will almost GER
tainly invite you to partake of 'his fru-
gal repast.n This ''lrugal repast'' con-
sists of eight or nine dishes a la Fran
caise, choice wines and an exquisite
dessert, all served in style of lordly
luxury. The servants wear rich liver
les, the plates are silver and gold, and
the vessels of crystal and porcelain are
fhet d duUres of art. But there is no
absurd notion of etiquette; conversation
IS free and uncOnstrained, and every
body does and says what he likes. For
the rest, there are few signs of luxury.
The furniture of the villa is extremely
simple, and though the per5Onnel of the
household is numerous there is no un-
necessary display. AS to the Khedive's
present income little is known. If not
excessive it is at least plentiful, for
his expenditure must be something cons
siderable.

The Fourth OF July.

IL Philadelphia an estimate was
made Of the accidents and injuries re-
sulting from the use of fire-crackers.
pistols, etc, on the last July 4th, and
the results were as follows:
Killed by the discharge of cannon,
guns and pistols, ten; seriously
wounded, thirty; amputations of arm
or leg from injuries received, six;
killed by fires resulting from fire-crack-
ers, etc, four; slightly injured, one
hundred and four; houses burned, five.
This list of casualties was nearly
doubled in New York. In both cities
heavy showers put an end to the re-
loicing early in the afternoon, and in
Philadelphia shooting of crackers or
pistols was prohibited by law, or the
number Of deaths and accidents would
have been much larger.
1t is quite time that our boys and
young men asked themselves seriously
concerning this matter, ''Does it payPi'

A city clergyman, before the last
Fourth of July, proposed to the chill
dren of his parish to form an Anti
Powder Association. The money which
they would have spent on crackers,
powder, pin-wheels, etc, was put in a
common fund, and an excursion or
ganized to the seashore, to which each
contributor had the right to invite one
poor little child chosen by himself.
The day was happy, merry one; as
happy for the children who gave the
unwOnted pleasure to the forlorn little
waits, as to those who received it. In
stead Of death and suffering, the holi-
day brought breath of life and health,
and the enjoyment of Heavenly charity
to them all.
If children continue to abuse the
day, it is because grown people neglect
TO show them better way to keep it
than by this senseless, dangerous hub
bub which custom has sanctioned so
long. Youths Companion.

Silk Handkerchief Dresses.

The novelty introduced late in the
season is the Partisan costume made of
handkerchiefs of silk about the quality
OF thin Surah or foulard At present
they are imported by the modistes only,
and are not seen in the large furnishing
stores. Several of these dresses have
been sent to Newport and other seaside
resorts, where they are said to rival the
Jersey suits as the conspicuous novel
ties of summer wardrobes. The best
qualities are twilled and soft like Surah,
and the center of the handkerchief is
usually changeable, while the border is
stripes or plaids made up of the colors
that are mingled in the center. Odd
contrasts are also used in these colors :.
thus red is made to change with dark
blue or green, or pale blue combines
with old gold, while violet
and buff are together. Some
times Scotch plaid border
trims a handkerchief of solid color.
The way of making these dresses is also
quaint and old-fashioned, and they are
worn with a great deal of lace about
the neck, wrists, and front of the cor
sage. The pointed waists are shirred
in the front and back to the ends of the
long sharp points, and there is also full
ness shirred on the shoulders. A fichu
collar of the silk adds still more to this
appearance of fullness. The large silk
handkerchief is then cut diagOnally,
and one of the three cornered pieces is
attached on each side, making point
far below the hips, while space is left
in front for the shirred point of the
waist. The back is full and straight,
with deep shirring on the single tlounce.
The entire front breadth, which is mar
row, is covered with clusters of shirring.
The wide Languedoc lace is made
creamy, and, i deed, often quite yellow,
to make it look like g real' old lace.
1t is put on in gathers instead of the
stiff pleatings used last year, and is al
lowed to fall about in easy neglige fash
ion, making an irregular jabot down
the front of the waist, and loose frills on
the sleeves and -Harper's Bazar.

The Flags Of France.

A FEW facts about the flags of France
may not come amiss at this time. She
has had many, from the blue cloak OF
st. Martin, adopted in 498 by Clovis as
his standard. There were a number of
devices for centuries, the red flag of st.
Davis, also those of white and blue, each
inscribed with various emblems. The
white flag ceased in 1870, and on Oct.
70 OF that year NJ. Menon's proposition
to make the tri-color the FLAG of the
navy was adopted, Lafayette some time
previously having induced the Paris
Commune to accept that combination
On July II, 1889, the tri-color was
blessed at the NOtre Dame by the Arch
bishop of Paris, each of the flags then
distributed bearing the words: ." Dis
cipline and Obedience According to
Peiffer It would appear that the tri-color
originated with Louis XVI. himself
he says that in 1884 he invited forty
farmers to dine at Court, and when they
had been seated he bade the courtiers
present, including one Bishop, " to take
napkins and serve our fathers" In
memory of this event a trophy was
erected bearing the effigy of the King
above representations of the three es-
tates, the nobility by noble in silver
and white, the clergy by Bishop in
red, and the commoners by farmer in
blue. The Restoration brought back
the white flags strewn with lilies and
ornamented with the escutcheon of
France, the eagles being replaced with
spear-heads. These colors were pre-
sented by Louis XVIII. and his brother
to the troops Sept. Z, 1904. On June l,
1914, Napoleon and his brother gave
the eagles back to the troops, who swore
henceforth never to recognize another
rallying-point, and to defend the en-
blems. But on March 27, 1916, Louis
XVIII. distributed his white flags again,
and truly an old soldier might have re-
marked with Talleyrand, when asked
how many oaths he had taken, "This is
my thirteenth hope it may be the
last" The Commune of 1880 adopted
a black and red flag, but in three days
it was replaced by the tri-color, and on
Aug 10 of that year thirty-two flags
were given to 10000 of the National
Guard by Lafayette, who received them
from Louis Philippe. A Gallic cock

A Bad Drink for Ladies' Of Fashion.

IT is related that Rochester IN. W
lady who recently went to Avon Springs
with a picnic party found herself in an
unpleasant predicament. The party
reached the springs and were enjoying
themselves slipping the waters, ETC.,
when friend of the lady in question
discovered a remarkable change COM
ing over the features of her companion.
Her face began to assume a notified ap-
pearance, black and white alternating.
She was asked if she was sick, and re-
piled in the negative, but her face be-
came so discolored that her friends in
sisted on sending for physician, who,
on arriving and examining his supposed
patient, smiled and asked her what kind
of paint she used. The lady tartly re-
piled that she did not paint, but only
used a powder similar to that used by
her daughter, who was present and
whose face was blooming. The physician
attributed the discoloration to the pow
der, and it is supposed that it contained
some chemical that changed color on
contact with the sulphurus Vapor from
the spring Union.

Order on the Farm.

MANY farmers fail in making their
farms profitable for want of order.
Whether on a small farm where the
work is all done by the owner, or on a
large farm where several hands are en-
plOyed, there must be an early and a
regular hour for rising in the morning.
Each hand or man should know the
evening previous Just what he is to do
in the morning, and if possible for the
entire day. If chores are his first en-
ployment, then he can go at them with
out waiting for orders. If he is to use
team, he can have it fed, curried and
harnessed ready. The wagon or imple-
ment he is to use can be oiled and in
place ready to hitch to. The proprietor
must make stories short with common
callers, and yet courteous. He can also
by judiciOus system and study of the
situation encourage any superior or am
bilious help to excel in their labors.
Be always at home to direct, aid, and
counsel in all departments. Discourage
all careless and loose practices. Strive
to cultivate and continue good feeling
between laborer and employer. Have
stated times, and rigidly enforce them,
for meals, for milking, for commencing
the regular work and for retiring from
the field. Make the farm produce su-
perior crops, and raise the best stock of
all kinds. All kinds of produce of the
garden, orchard, vineyard, dairy or
farm should be put up honestly, but in
the most attractive style for market.
If business or pleasure take you from
the farm let the family know the pre-
else hour you will return. And let
them by your punctuality know that
your engagements are reliable. Make
all worthy hands, or boys on the farm,
or female help in the house feel that
they are your equals in rights and
Order, harmony and
punctuality are important for success
in any enterprise.-IoaOa State Register
