Mr.. SHELDON,S GOOD SHOT.
knocking Down n Grizzly Bear, an Elk, and Hi

knocking Down Grizzly Bear, an Elk, and Him.
self by One Discharge of his Gun.
| HI. Sheldon left his camp at Cooper City,
on the Pecos, last Saturday afternoon in
search of game. About four o'clock in the
afternoon the burro, which had wandered
ahead, came running back, apparently in
great terror, ears and tail erect eyes glaring,
making that peculiar, mournful sound for
which its species is noted, and refusing to be
caught or comforted. Not being able to
make out from the report of the confused
burro just what had happened, Mr.. Sheldon
cooked his gun and advanced slowly and
cautiously on the unknown enemy. Crawl
ing along on his hands and knees for about
quarter of mile he at length doubled
bend in the river, and there, standing in full
view in the meadow, and not more than $50
yards away, he saw a huge grizzly bear with
three cubs, and, Just beyond the bear, and in
direct range with her, an animal that he at
once recognized as the lOng-sought for elk.
Neither of the beasts was aware of his ap-
proach; sO,quietly rising upon one knee and
! resting his rifle across the other, which is
Mr.. SIS fayorite position in shooting, he took
deliberate aim. Bang went the gun, away
sped the bullet and down fell two animals
in fact, three-the BEAR the elk, and Mr. S.
himself. The bullet had cut the backbone
of the bear completely in two, and, passing
on through, had lodged in the heart of the
elk; and the extraordinary task to which
the rifle had been subjected produced such
violent recOil that the hunter himself was
stretched flat upon the ground. Recovering
himself speedily Mr.. S. advanced upon the
prey, hunting knife in hand but life was
extinct in both animals. The little cubs, on
hearing the report of the gun, fled but, be-
ing only few weeks old, were speedily cap
tured, tied in bags, and fastened On the back
of the horse.-Sdnta Fe Nelcs.

BRAN BEDS FOR THE RABIES,


a French doctor has invented a new bed
for babies which holds them safe in its Gus
tody and prevents them from ever giving
any trouble at night to their attendants
The gentleman has subjected his system to
the most trying of all tests, for he has ap-
piled it to all his own children, and cOnsid-
ers that the life of one of them is entirely
owing to its use. The idea is to fill the
greater part of the cradle with bran and
lmmerse the legs and part of the body of the
child in this nest, covering them over in the
usual way, but fastening down the counter
pane tight, so as to keep him firm in his
place. Why this change of tactics should
have the effect of taking away from the in
FAINT his usual desire to howl during part
of every night is a question which we will
they have tried the system. In the mean
time, until that trial has been made it is
only civil to believe the testimony of DTs.
Bourgeois and Vigoureux, who in two French
papers of some authority declare that such
Is the invariable result This is not, how
ever, the only advantage to be expected from
the system. The bran is supposed to have
warming and stimulating influence superior
to any kind of cotton or cloth, and to allow
children of the more sickly kind to develop
more quickly and to be sooner able to use
their limbs. The inventor of the system
declares that they delight in their bran beds,
and always quit them with regret when
removed at the age of two, to one of a differ
ent kind.-LOnd0n Globe.

HOW A WOMAN SWEaRS.

There is in the sudden and energetic
Stunning of the door at the conclusion of a
debate forceful emphasis which punctu-
ates argument and clinches as with the
pounding of the fist the word which has
been spoken. A shrewd writer calls the
slamming of the door in this style a wooden
oath" The definition is well chosen one.
The person who thus violently closes the
door is labOring under an accumulation of
pent-up evaporation which, if she were q
man, would find its way out in a torrent of
harsh expressions uttered with angry inflec-
tions. A man does not generally close the
door with bang to indicate that he is in q
state of wrathfulness; neither does a
woman swear.
The condensed volume of eloquent express
sion which is packed into the D .tulant
closing of the door would, if expanded
make several large pages of type, most of
which would he inteTections and exclama-
ton points When the door slams relief
follows, just as after the explosion of
steam boiler. The pressure is off. There is
opportunity for breathing spell With the
pOrtiere which is now such fashionable
substitute for the hinged door, and which
is made Of dry goods, there is difficulty.
She who would use it as a means of ven
geance against her tellow-being must tie the
end of it into knot for assault. As to
shutting him out with it, that is as impossi-
BILE as to hold water in an ordinary sieve.
1t must be admitted that the slamminr of
the door as an act of argument or an express
sion of disapproval is not graceful or lady
like. Still there are occasions when opinions
must be expressed, and even anger and con-
tempt must have their little say. Some
times the doOr-slamming is all there is of
argument or debate. The object of con-
tempt or scOrn happens to approach the
door with view either of entering or pass
ing by. It's sudden closing in his face is an
ntmatiOn that if he values his peace of
mind he will do well to pass by. In such
case he is not a wise man who venoefullv
kicks the door open. That only prolongs the

nothing. Better be content thankfully and

RAsPBERRIES.-AmOn the newer rasp-
berries the Cuthbert stands very high. 1t is
fine favored fruit, although traders COM
plain that it is rather difficult to transport
in good condition, but for the amateur
grower it is possibly the best raspberry
extant.
The Surprise is also new; it is a coarser
fruit than the Cuthbert, has more acid in its
composition, and is quite firm, so that it can
be handled without injury, and will carry
well to market
The State of New Jersey is becoming ia
nous for the introduction of new fruits, es-
pecially new strawberries and raspberries.
new and very early variety called the
Hansell is now being propagated, and will,
we presume, soon be for sale. This variety
has been brought into notice by Mr. Lovett,
of Little Silver n. j., who seems to keep his
eyes particularly widely open in picking out
good things in the way of fruits
The Hansell raspberry is earlier than any
other variety of raspberry in civilizations 1t
is pronounced to be of good size, bright
crimson color, of superior flavor, and so firm
that it ships well without injury The plant
is said to be as hardy as the hardest of rasp-
berries. ~

A HORSE THAT CHEws TOBACCO.

There is Il gray horse worked by the St.
Louis Transfer Company in one of the large
omnibus teams, which is an habitual tobacco
cIewer. The animal is really passionately
fond OF the weed, and seems delighted when
offered a piece of tobacco. The fact has
become known at nearly all of the hotels,
and the equine with such habits is the re-
cipieut of Il great deal of attention by human
beings addicted to the same habit. The
driver of the bus says it costs him at least
fifty cents a month to keep the horse supplied.
Notwithstanding the fact that the friends of
the beast treat him so often. The only draw
back in the way of the horse becoming an
expert in chewing the weed is that he cannot
learn to eXpcctOTate. As soon as that accom-
piishment is acquired the driver expects to
purchase decorated cuspador, which is to
be placed in the gray nags stall.-.St. Louis

ONLY A LITTLE LADS
He was only a little lad,

He was only little lad,
Barefoot and brown,
With large eyes, wistful and sad,
And dark hair waving down.
Over the vine-clad hills,
From the golden Tuscan land,
BY olive groves, and by singing rills,
With a lutte in his little hand,
He sang; but his heart was sad
At the needless hurrying town;
He was only a little lad,
Barefoot and brown!
There were tears in his little voice,
He sang and he played;
No mother had ever heard
The sad, sweet songs he made.
But only in dreams to him,
On the vine-clad hills, she sang,
And ever sweetest when day grew dim,
And the bells at vcspers rang.
None knew the dreams he had,
in the friendless, pitiless town;
He was only a little lad,
Barefoot and brown! t",

NEW GUIDE TO ORANGE CULTURE: la

American fruit growers is their constant eff
fort to classify and describe varieties of fruits
so that they can be recognized, and their
merits and faults, as well as their adapta-

American Pathological Society, during the

work in this direction than all other societies
Of which history makes mention. But it has

KEEPING BUTTER. - The Massachusetts,
PlOGghman says that to keep butter during
hot weather it must be of first quality when
made, and the butter-milk must be all
worked out and the salt well. distributed
through it; it must also be packed in per-
fectly sweet vessels; wood is Objectionable;
stone jars answer the purpose well. To keep
through the hot weather it should be stored
in cool place. Some are very successful in
keeping butter in a salt pickle, while others
have no trouble in keeping it in Jumps with
out pickle. The real secret of keeping
butter is in the manufacturing of a good ar
ticle, giving 1t the proper proportion of salt;
if all right TO start with it will keep, unless
put in improper vessels and kept where it is
not cool.
