HUNTING IN THB ARcTIcs

In his narrative OF the experience OF the
Jeanette crew, Lieutenant DanenhoWer
says: During the summer some OF us USED
to take the skin boats or the dingy and
paddle among the cracks. On one occasion
Captain De Long was alone IN the dingy
and was interviewed by bear, who SUD,
denly approached out of the mist and STOOD
watching him in the most dignlhed man
ner. The Captain retreated In good order.
During the summer it was very difficult TO
get bears. because they could take to the
water SO readily and thus cut OF their pur-
suers. During the misty times they were
very bold, and on one occasion she bear
with two cubs approached the ship to
within four hundred yards of the star
board quarter. Fortunately the dogs
were on the port side and to windward,
SO they did not scent the bear. Inc
greatest quietness prevailed, and squad
of about ten rifemen was immediately
organized on the poop. was watch
ing the bears through cabin air port,
and it was very fine sight to see the
mother and her two cubs approach the ship
in wondering and cautious manner. L
could see better under the mist than the
people on the poop. Heard the captain
say, Do any of you think it is over 250
yards?" All seemed to agree, and he said,
" Aim at 250 yards, and wait for the word
fire >" Then succeeded volley. The
bears reeled and made several turns, and L
thought that we had bagged all of them,
but was astonished to see them get up
and walk off in the most lively manner.
OF course all the dogs took the alarm and
pursued them to the first crack, which the
bears calmly swan across and thus escaped.
But large drops of blood were seen, and the
she-bear lay down once or twice as If
wounded. In making her retreat she drove
her cubs before her, and became inpatient
when they moved slowly. The bears had
been hit, but the distance had been under.
estimated, and most of the shots had fallen
short. This was not extraordinary, because
it was very misty.

bill for a 0,0OO, 900 loan and vote him
$50, 600 for crown and grand coronation,
his vanity being sadly wounded by the
fact that he is crownless King. There is
every indication that the trade will be
effected. In taking this ground the native

CUTTING HIS OWN THROAT.
Should he prove successful, and drive them
all away by exorbitant taxation, he would
be compelled to return to the nudity, poi
and raw fish of his fathers, and that would
be more than death, for many of civiliza.
tion's luxuries have become necessaries to
him. But the Saxon will not yield to any
such demands, for though in a small mi
nority they are very powerful, having the
brains and money. Theirs is the COM
merce, the business, the prosperity, and all
that has made Hawaii what it is. At a
recent sugar planters meeting, where a
joint stock company was organized among
planters of all nationalities, resolution
was adopted unanimously declaring for a
total prohibitory law against liquor impor.
tation, which was a movement intended to
head off determination among natives to
repeal the statute forbidding their use of
liquors. Notwithstanding that mass meet
ings are held, and that Hallenbeck and
johnson, the temperance advocates, have
been sent for from San Francisco, and every
other effort is being made to save the peo-
pie from themselves, it is foregone con.
clusion that the Legislature will pass bill
removing the Objectionable clause, and the
King will sign it for reasons already stated.
He vetoed like bill passed by the last
Legislature, but then he had not travelled
round the world and come to hunger after
$4,000, 900 and crown. Time was when
natives feared taxes. Having survived
that, and having learned that the foreign.
ers pay them all, many fain would kill
the goose that lays the golden egg." The
Chinese, though outnumbering native
males, and perhaps the males of all other
nationalities combined, have not been con-
sidered, because, like the Portuguese, they
thus far have taken little or no part in ma.
tional affairs, though socially they are

A FRIEND AT CoURT.-The advantage to
citizens at Constantinople OF having a
friend at Court was forcibly illustrated not
long ago. A certain NJ. Caporal, having
obtained judgment against his Highness
Nouri Pacha, had the presumption to at
tempt to seize and sell by public auction
the furniture and other property in the
konak of his Hghness at Balta Liman.
An officer of the Court, by order of the
President, accompanied by Sheriff's Off
Ger and armed with full powers by NJ.
Caporal, went to the spot to execute the
formalities prescribed by the law. On
their arrival, however, at the konak they
were courteously received by Rifast Agha,
OF the Imperial Palace, who informed them
that he could not possibly allow anything
to be touched or removed without an order
from the Palace. Under these circum-
stances the officers of justice have no al.
Tentative but to retire as they came, after
having drawn upa process reTbal concerning
the illega! act Of Rifaat Agha, who bade
them farewell with bland smile, and dis.
played no emotion at their departure.

day to pass by the open door Of q room
where his daughters and some young
friends were assembled, he thought, from
what he overheard, that they were making
too free with the characters OF their neigh.

he gave his children lecture on the ain
fulness Of scandal. They answered, but.

talk about something" "If You can do
nothing else, replied he, "get pumpkin
and roll it about; that will at least be in
nocent diversion. A short time after. an
association of ministers met at his house,
and during the evening some discussions on
points of doctrine were earnest, and their
voices were so loud as to indicate the dan.
ger of losing their Christian temper when
his eldest daughter, oyerhearIng them,
procured pumpkin, and entering the
room, gave it to her father, and said,

A man by the name of Johnston some
years ago sent his son Frank away, and
forbade him to come beneath his roof.
Monday the father called in policemen and
said burglar was in the house. They en-.
tered and found the son Frank, aged about
Is or 10. The father claims that the house
has been several times entered and prop.
erty taken, and believes that his son was
the burglar.
The story of the Turk street haunted
house is explained by Karl Formes, who
lives under the roof of the house, and says
that he has probably unintentionally acted
as ghost himself, and frightened the neigh
bors out of their dwelling. His wife has
been very i'll for several months, and he,
not being able to sleep, walked the floor
many night, either in his stockings or
light slippers.

"Never too old to lsarn, and here are

That if we wish to prolong our lives, we
should put one day between washing and
ironing.
That tough beefsteak may be made eat
able by mincing it pretty fine with chop.
ping-knife, and cooking quickly in q pot
with close cover, to prevent the steam
from escaping
That salt pork will be as nice, nearly as
fresh, if soaked in sweet milk and water,
equal parts.
That clabbered milk ia better than water
for freshening salt fish.
That half cup of vinegar in the water
will make an old fowl cook nearly as
quickly as a young one, and does not injure
the f1aver in the least.
That liver should be thrown into boiling
water after being sliced thin, and then
fried in lard or dripping.
That pie crust will not be soggy if it is
brushed over with the white Of an egg be-
fore the fruit is put in.
Zinc can be frightened by rubbing it
with kerosene oil, but it is much better to
have it painted, as this will save much
labor.
After you have swept your carpets quite
clean, you may brighten them with fam

That ripe cucumbers make good sweet

That apples which take long while to
bake should have a little water in the pan.
Stoves blackened when entirely cold will
keep the clean look very great deal longer
than when they are polished when the
stove is warm.
White paint may be cleaned as we'll as

a LOST WAGER.-The wager made by
the owners of the ships Thomas Stevens
and Mariposa in Liverpool, previous to
the departure OF those vessels for San Fran
cisco, was decided Monday. The terms Of
the wager were 81. 900 that the Mariposa
would reach San Francisco, discharge, re-
load and get to sea again before the Stevens
would arrive, both vessels leaving Liver
pool at the same hour. On Wednesday
last the Mariposa discharged her cargo,
proceeded to Port Costa, reloaded, and,
returning, was ready for sea on Friday
morning. She failed, however, to get sail
ors, and as high as $3.50 was offered as
bonus for able seamen by the Mariposa's 8
Captain. Yesterday, having finally se-
cured a crew, she cleared, and at II o'clock
was being towed to sea, when the Stevens
appeared coming through the Golden Gate.
The disgust of the Mariposa's commander
may be imagined. Had sailors been plenty
he could easily have won the wager.

PRESERVING FURs.-We have heard
old time housekeepers talk about " airing u
things in order to prevent their being
moth eaten, but we have found the reverse
of this to be better. AS coon as furs,
woolens, ETC., are laid aside, put them
where the moth millers cannot get access
to them to depo1it their eggs, and they are
safe from their ravages. During the sum.
mer months we keep fox carriage robe by
rolling it up and slipping it into thick
paper -four sack, and pasting paper over
the entrance-puttiDg it up early before
any millers are flying. Dealers in furs
paste paper around where the corners fit on
the boxes, making them almost air tight,
and keeping them safely from all injury
from moths.
