An Exciting AdYenture.

Mr.. J. b. Martin, while rambling in
the mountains of Colorado recently,
met with an exciting adventure lie
was climbing mountain, and happen.
ing to look up met the eyes OF a Wlld.
cat crouching for spring. The ami
nal made leap, and, Mr. Martin IN
stinctively dodging his head, the beast
fell upon his right shoulder fastening
his sharp claws in his overcoat. MT
Martin shook it off suddenly, wher
it rolled down the steep side of th'
mountain for some ten feet Gather
ing itself up, furious with rage 1t pre-
pared for another leap Mr.. Martin
in the meantime, started on run u
the mountain, but was soon oblige1 y
stop for want Of breath, when ne dls
covered the wildcat close to hls heelS
For the first time he thought OF a re
yolyer in his pocket, and lod9ed " ooi
let in one of its forelegs, but the AMI
nal continued to approach. The mex y,
shot lodged in one of the creature
ewes. and he continued firing TIL IN
pistol was empty, when he had q
satisfaction of seeing the beast dfol
dead at his feet.

1t has long been recognized that the
atmosphere of pine forests has an in
ylgorating and beneficial effect upon
people with weak constitutions, and
suffering from pulmonary disorders
At some OF the watering places Of
Germany the very simple prescription
Of the physician is that the patient
should spend several hours a day walk
ing or riding through the pine woods
This simple treatment is sometimes sup
plemehted hy the taking Of pine baths
and in the case Of kidney diseases and
for delicate children this is claiued to
be very beneficial The bath is pre-
pared by simply pouring into the water
about half tumblerlul of an extract
made from the fresh needles Of the
pine. This extract is dark in color and
/ closely resemble, m0lasscs IN consis-
tencX and when poured into the bath
gives the water muddy appearance
with Slight foam on the surface. The
repugnance one feels to enter into such
a muddy looking lluid is dispelled as
soon as the delightful aroma which
arises from the bath is inhaled Az
though there may be some doubt
whether pine baths act upon the sys-
TEN in any other wise than as a tonic.
still as an adjunct to the daily bath, in
fusion of the pine extract induces a
most agreeable sensation. 1t gives
the skin a deliciously soft and silky
feeling, and the effect upon the nerves
is quieting. 1t is matter Of some
surprise to us that the business of man
ufacturing and bottling the extract
for private use and public bathing es-
adjustments has not been tried in this
country, where pine forests abound 50
extensively The extract when prop
erly bottled and securely corked will
not deterIorate for a long time, and the
cost for gathering the pine needles and
extracting their tarry substance would
not be very great, while the demand
for it would likely increase to large
proportions when the public become
accustomed otis u5e.-Scientifc inner

Shall we paint our statues? Yes
says Professor Treu. the director of
.he Dresden collections of antiquities.
He has recently published pamphlet,
IN which he expresses the opinion that
the attempt should be made to supply
marble, bronze and ivory statuary'
with colored costume. A white mar
Die Goethe in Werther attire, for
Instance he would furnish with a
laTk-blue coat, and give to his waist
,oat the orthodox canary color. The
)ther side of the question is taken up
by the writer in the Deutsche Rund-
,chaa who maintains that the more
a sculptor has mastered his art the
more he will value the natural white
ness Of the marble. The spirit of the
artist gives life alike to the pure
marble the dark bronze, and the pale
ivory. Where that yivifying spirit is
wanting, no color can give life to the
statue The paint pot, in short, would
be the death Of the sculptor's art.

We are becoming a great cheese and
butter eating nation. The home con
sumption of these two articles of diet
has increased in a greater ratio than
any other food. Cheese, like meat, is
musele-producing, and is very nutri-
yious to people who have stomachs to
digest it. People in southern Europe
can live on cheese with an onion and
little macaroni. Time was when
our butter and cheese were very poor
compared to those in certain parts of
Europe. But our creameries and
cheese factories now turn out an arti-
sle far better than tho average of that
produced in Europe.

A Genuine Love Story.

A young clergyman and his bride were
invited guests at large party given by
a wealthy parishioner. In all the fresh
ness and elegance of her bridal wardrobe
the young wife shown among the throng
distinguished by her comeliness, vivaci-
ty and rich attire and when, during the
evening, her young husband drew her
aside and whispered to her that she was
the most beautiful in all the company,
and that his heart was bursting in pride
and love for her, she thought herself the
| happiest woman in the world. Ten years
later the same husband and wife were
| guests at the same house, where was
| gathered a similar gay company. The
| wife of ten years wore the same dress
she had worn on the previous occasion !;
of course 1t had been made over, and
was old fashioned and almost shabby.
Toll and care and motherhood and pinch
ed circumstances had taken the rose from
her cheeks, and the 1.-THE spirit out of
her form. She sat apart from the crowd,
looking careworn and pre-occupied Her
small hands, roughened with coarse toll,
were ungloved, for the minister's salary
was painfully small. ,..
A little apart, the ten years husband
stood and looked at his wife, and as he
observed her faded dress and her weary
attitude, great sense of all her patient,
loving faithfulness came over heart.
Looking up, she caught his earnest gaze
and noticed that his eyes were filled with
tears. She rose and went to him, her
questioning eyes mutely asking an ex-
PLANTATION of his emotion, and when he
tenderly took her hand and placing it on
his arm, led her away from the crowd
and told her how he had been thinking
of her as she looked ten years before
when she was bride, and how much
more precious she was to him now and
how much more beautiful for all, for her
shabby dress and roughened hands, and
how he appreciated all her sacrifices and
patient toll for him and their children, a
great wave of happiness filled her heart;
light shone in her face that gave it
more than its youthful beauty, and in all
this company there was not so happy a
couple as this husband and wife, their
hearts and faces aglow from the flaming
up OF pure sentiment that transfgured
and ennobled and glorified all the tolls
and privations they had endured.
