Grizzly Rears In Montana.

A correspondent Of the Forest and
Stream savs:
An unusual habit of the grizzly bear
recently came to my knowledge, and
seems worthy of record. II is well
known that male bears will not unfre-
quently kill and eat a cub If they have
a good opportunity TO do so, but that a
female should do this when not pressed
by hunger must be very uncommon
occurrence.
Early in October l. with two friends,
was hunting mountain sheep in rugged
and preclpitous canon in the Big Horn
mountains. This canon is difficult of
access and known to but few persons,and
probably had not been entered by hunt
ers for some years, and as a consequence,
game was very abundant.
Wei worn trails wound here and there
wherever the nature Of the ground would
permit, ard the abundance OF sheep
elk, mule deer, and even of white
tails was at once seen by their charae-
teristic tracks,
Cautiously and slowly proceeding
down the canon. our field glasses in
constant use for no animal is more diff
cult TO see than big horn lying among
rocks we had separated, +. taking one
side Of the canon, l.. aud the other. We
were short distance above the stream
that flowed rapidly down the bottom, but
paid little attention TO anything below
us, as the game was usually above. 1t
was on this account that without know
ing it we approached within twenty
yards of a large grizzly that was ly ing
quietly little below the trail We were
following and just in advance of us.
without u,tefing the usual hoarse grunt
she charged directly at us, and we fired
simultaneously when she was not more
than ten yards away. Both bullets took
effect, one passing close to her heart, the
other breaking forelcg. Losing her
foo,hold among the loose stones the
bear rolled heavily down into the
stream. hitting her head with such force
against sharp rock as to fracture her
skull, as we found afterward. She sill
showed fight, but another ball quieied
her forever On going forward n few
Steps We came to large rock imbedded
IN The side OF the canon: just above this
was smooth, bare patch OF earth and a
rough mound. On scraping away the
earth over This, expecting TO find the
buried remains of sheep or deer, we
were much surprised to find the torn
skin Of a cub bear; most Of the flesh had
been eaten, and the skull was broken
and the brains licked out, 1t had been
dead about three days and the mother
he'd laid down and guarded it, as is their
custom. The female was very fat aud
evidently was not pressed for food. II is
barely possible that this cub may have
been killed and partially eaten by
mountain lion during the absence OF the
mother, but / think this is very improb-
able In view of the abund. e of deer
and sheep in the immediateVicinity.

Mexico and Her People.
sLLoul. MsgaZlne.


Upon landing on the coast Of Mexico,
one Is struck with the singular dress
habits a nd customs of the people. AT
we see IS new 10 our eyes and senses
The houses are Of the simplest conslruc-
tioG and the furniture in them, sur
rrsin.Iv meagre. or course these re-
marks refer to the rural districts. The
old time plow of 20OJ years ago, is seen
in the field and drawn by oxen, and the
yoke fastened to their horns. The pro-
duciug class is the Indian. The pronun-
diados or revoutiOBists comprise the
middle clsss while The better class is
pure castilion. The latter class hold
the Offices, fl all The positions and pos
sess all the wealth The middle class
are not renowned for virtue while the
upper class are. The lower class are stu
pid lTt honest; the middle class are
not.
There are many rirh people In Mexico,
but the government poor and the couu-
try impoverished. plupera are plenty
and yet one rarely lears Of death by
starvation. Bread is cheap aud fuit
can be had Tor a fOOg, The bread in
general use Is the tCtilla made OF corn.
1t is the bread Of the Ate 3 and Toltees
Of 700 years ago It is the bread Mon
tezuma ate in his day. And this is how
it is made:
The corn is soaked in warm lime va
ter for half day then worked, when
the hulls drop of ihen the clean grains
are placed upon fiat stone, and d stone
roller passed over them until the corn is
ground and looks Ike mortar. Some
red pepper is put iltO dough, when the
operator takes lump in her hands, pats
it until it assumesth form Of cake and
then places It upOu an eauhen plate,
laid upon the Coa6, and the famous tor
tilla is ready to bs eaten. The cake is
quite paltable, aut with soup is not to be
despsed.
A Spanish writr when dilatjng upon
the wealth and extravaganza OF the In
dian emperor MCntezuma, declared that
, the emperor nevsr used the same spoon
but once But he did not tell all the
story M0ntezuna ate his sou like all
his subjects. II, took piece Of tlrtilla,
shaped it Ike a spOon q cup, dipped IL
/ into the dish Of Sup, then swallowed he
soup and tcrlila together Mexicans,
who are not worh n dollar IN the world,
do The same thing to-day. The lower
class and mid1lec'sss, too, to a large ex-
/ tent, use NJ spooIs, knives Or forks when
eating.
The manufacture and sale Of this cake
/ is one of the few iells open to women in
/ Mexico. They bake them and thel
hawk their goods mon the streets or de-
/ liver them 80 IA niles at their houses.
Bot they never grow rich in their call

Country Life Ia Italy.

A lady living in a country village in
Italy writes, IN the COrHhW Magazine, of
her neighburs and their habits. She
saws:
1t is amazing how smart the very poor
est lady who has any pfetentious to be-
ing such, will turn out on Occasi Ons
however dilapidated her home attire
Two Young ladies belonging b. an old but
utterly ruined family, whose parents were
too poor TO keep servant, would dress
themselves for their evening walk in the
most fashionable hats and costumes,
with their fans, smelling bottles, lace
handkerchiefs and gloves, all complete.
In order to obtain these dresses the
Young ladies had to condescend so TAR as
to work for the peasants, who paid them
for the manufacture of the smart stays
and chemises they wear on feast days.
The attempt at being highly fashionable,
combined with an entire ignorance of the
WAYS Of the fashionable world, produce
sometimes the strangest. incongruities.
The lacs veil is now almost confined to
the class called "artlsti that is, shop
keepers and skilled workpeope; but a
few of the old-fashioned ladies still keep
to il. Curious specimens of decayed
nobility are to be found in these remote
villages es-people bearing grand names
and retaining considerable pride in their
ancient lineage, whom generations Of
idleness and unthriftiness have reduced
to extreme poverty. They are not
educated for any profession, and when
starvation stares them in the face they
have no resource but to earn their bread
by manual labor. One noble count of
my acquaintance is a carpenter another

daughters Of countess working 10 the

body smokes, but no one chews or snuils.
The ladies smoke as gracefully as they
dance. They smoke in the parlor at

tent only when they have cigarette

table, but at no other time aud all class

a living if he had an entire canton IN

dropped letter in this Office addressed
to another man. The husband suspects
something wrong. Shall | deliver the

answered that the husband could not
get the letter in that way.
Nowhere is vigilance so eternal as in
the village postoflicc. The postmaster
carries the epistolary affairs of his con
stituency in his head. lie scents a
clandestinc correspondence as readily as
rat scents roast cheese. He knows ex-
actly who drops every letter in the box

of morality he does something Practice

remarkable art Of ivading letter with
out breaking the seal. The size, style,

village postmaster, lie feels injured
when a stranger sends letter through

of the lovers whose precious exchange

When he mee-s one OF them he throws
into his ewes a look of knowing all
things and telling nothing, SO long az he
is treated with proper respect. He is the
marplot who illustrates many elopements
by dropping significant word into the
ear of the girls father. He precipitates
many scandal by intimating that there
are things which had better not be told
and when it comes to wisdom in cardiac
affairs the recording angels book can
hardly keep "a e with him. lie is
