Auuatic Frauls,

Civilization has improved many
things, both animate and inanimate
1t has increased the size and improved
the flavor of every kind of fruit and
vegetable, and added to the productive
ness OF all varieties of grain. 1t has
converted many savage beasts into an
inals that do work for man and are
worthy of his companionship. 1t has
made the desert to blossom like the
rose" 1t has drained marshes and
rescued land from the sea- 1t has not
however improved rivers. In many
eases it has made them worse than
they originally were. The rivers that
behave worst are in highly civilized
countries. Witness the Rhine in Ger.
many, the Pc in Italy, the Rhone in
France, and the Ohio and Mississippi
in the United States. Their behavior
is worse every year. During certain
seasons of the year their waters are
limited to a channel so very small that
navigation is difficult and in places i'm.
possible. At other seasons they break
over the banks in floods, carrying ruin
and devastation. The water Of most
rivers Is less clear than it was before
the country on their banks was settled
and cities and towns built, In many
cases it is positively offensive, unit foI
animals to drink, poisonous to fishes,
and repulsive to water-fowls 1t docs

AT the mouth of Beaver Creek, on
the Missouri river, lives family by
the name of Filson. There are several
sons, and they are all noted as being
very powerful men and very fond of
hunting. One day whilo Daniel
Boone, the eldest, was out cutting hay
in the field he heard his dogs give
tongue few hundred yards distant
and procuring his gun followed the di-,
rection of the sound until finally he
discovered them baying something in
II clump of bushes on a knoll only Il
few feet distant from the river bank
Regardless of danger, he rushed up on
the river bank to reconnOtre, but he
had scarcely time to discover anything
when out sprang huge bear, rose on
its launches, and jumped for an attack
Mr.. Filson had just time to bring his gun
about half way to his shoulder, when
it was discharged without taking aim.
BY singular coincidence Mr.. Filsons
brother-in-la hal heard the barking
OF the dogs, too, and had FASTENED to
the scene, and only few rods distant
as the bear sprang out of the bushes
Having his gun loaded with heavy
shot, he fired at the bear at close quar-
tiers, hitting him, but also shot Mr.. FIJI
son in several places. The next Mr..
Ellison knew he found hims elf buried
in a sand-bar, all except a portion of
his face around the eyes, with the bear
standing directly over him and growl
ing sayagely at his brother-in-law, who
was preparing for another shot. Ills
brother-in-law fired, and the bear
sprang in the direction Of the shot, but
as he did so his hind paws, which were
resting on Mr.. Filsons legs, were
brought down with such quickness and
strength that they tore the flesh from
the bones in shred5 Before the bear
could reach the brother n-law he fell
mortally wounded; but Mr.. Filson lay
for six months in lreCarious condi-
ton, and has never fully recovered
from the injuries received. In relating
the circumstances he stated that when
that bear stood on him it seemed that
lie weighed fully as much as big ele-
lhant, and for Il whole yeT aitcrward
he felt as if he had almost been crushed

Marriage Customs in Siberia.

Lieutenant llarbcr, who went to
Eastern Siberia to bring home the re-
mains of the De Long party, thus dcs
criDcs the marriage customs Of that
region:
There is but little known of re-
ligion, and this little is gathered from
the priest of the Greek church who
visits the interior once a year to per-
form the marriage ceremonies. All
the girls are sold by their fathers as
wives to the young men who court
them. If young native desires to
marry he goes to the father of the girl
of his choice and price is agreed
upon, one-half Of which is then paid
down. The prospective son-in-law at
once takes up his residence with the
family Of his ladylovc and resides with
them u year. If at the end of the
year he still desires to marry the girl
he can pay the other half of the price,
and they are married upon the next
visit of the priest. Ii, on the other
hand he concludes he does not want
her after the years acquaintance, he is
under no obligation to make good his
VOWS of love, and the only disadyan-
t9gc he labors under is the loss of the
half he paid at the start.

A Galveston letter to the Chicago
Mty-rcc0n says: There is a genuine
cattle queen in the person of Mrs.
Rogers, who lives between the King
ranch and Corpus Christi, about fifteen
miles from the latter place. Her first
husband was u cOwman named Rabb.
Right here | should explain that
decided distinction and difference
exists between a "Cowboy' and "cow-
man" The former is hired man
who rides after the herd; the latter is
his employer who owns the cattle
Well after Rabbi from small begin
ming and by good management and
thrift had accumulated herd of 49,
900 cattle he died and left all to his
better half, who had been a helpmate
in every sense Of the word, and not
only understood the cattle business but
had managed it successfully during
her husbands long illness. Widow
Rabb was not only thrifty, but shewas
pious and belonged to the Methodist
persuasion. A young preacher by the
name of Rogers came along under
whose ministration she grew in grace
and the result was Il matrimonial one
although the odds in age were in favor
of the parson by something like TWEEN
ty-three years. She had no children
and he had seven, but she took the
motherleSs BARNS under her wings and
the alliance has turned out in every
way successfully Rogers had not
long been married to the widow and
her cattle when he acquired IA bad case
of bronchitis and was compelled to give
up preaching. Such cases are fle-
purnt. But the widow gave him
notice that she was competent to run
the ranch and has kept the cattle in
her own name, Rogers knowing no more
about them than any of the neighbors
lie took to politics when he found that
his services were not needed at the
ranch, and is now the Democratic
member of the Legislature from
Nueces County
Mrs. Rogers, although worth "A
round million, lives in quite an humble
home and appears TO have no ambition
further than to carry on the business
her husband left her and accumulate
money and cattle. She goes to Corpus
Christi every week or so to sell stock
or purchase supplies, but has no taste
for dress or society She is fifty years

The Phrcnoiogjcdi JoWHol relates
the following incident: "a young man
had declared love to lady and asked
her to he his wife. she heSitated, and
he allowed her her own time TO con
slider the matter. One evening, soon
aitrrward, she had occasion to visit
an aged relative who resided in the
family Of which the young man was II
member, AS she approached the door
sudden impulse caused her to pause.
Tie might he at home, she thought, and
she mi ght encounter him. And see
ing her there, he would probably i'm
agine she called on purpose to see him.
While she stood upon the doorstep
mCditating, she heard the oven door of

table; then n firm, light step ard the

pies from the oven. This little cir
cumstmce aided the young lady in
concluding what answer to make to
the all-important question:; and in
married life she finds the young man

A Word to Mothers.

Clara ID. Davidson says in the IVo-
mans Jomnal: Do you ever take
time to teach your children to abstain
from the use of intoxicating liquors?
1t is not enough TO tell them few in
stances of drunkenness that have fallen
under your immediate notice; you
should be able to give them scientific
instruction on the physiological effects
of strong drink. Let them know that
fermentcd liquors are as really poison
as putrid meat or decayed vegetables.
You cannot send out into the world
such men and women as it needs
strong in spirit, loving and tender in
heart, vigorous in intellect, fine in
form, laughing with the honest happi-
ness of perfect health, unless you de-
vote a part of your time to study
These things cannot he remembered
from grlhood to old age; there must
be constant brushing up and rear
ranging of old knowledge, supple
mcnted by the best thought and dis.
coyery of the present. We should not
live altogether in the past, if we do not
wish to be fossils. These good results
cannot be brought about by haphaz-
ard style of life; they are only reached
through painstaking application of
scientific knowledge. How vain, how
ilimsy, how absurd how absolutely
wicked, then, is the excuse, 81 have no

You should take time, as you take

How Gold Rings are Made.

Gold rings are made from bars nine
or fifteen inches long a lar fifteen
inches long, about two inches vide
and three.SiXteenths of an inch thick,
is worth one thousand dollars. 1t
would make 800 four heavyweight
rings. A dozen processes and twenty
minutes time are required to change
the bar into understandable rings. a
pair of shears cuts the bar into strips.
BY the turn of a wheel, one. two or
three times, the guillOtnc-like blade
of the shears cuts the bar into slices
one, two or three-siXteenths of an inch
wide. A rolling machine presses out
the strips and makes them Nat or
grooved. Each strip is then put IN
der the hlow.pipe and annealed. The
oxide of copper comes to the surface
and is put into n pickle OF sulphuric
acid, the bit of gold is stamped with
its quality and the name of the maker,
and il put through machine that
bends il into the shape of ring, the
same making ring of any size. The
ends are solderel with an alloy of in
ferior ineness to the quality of the
ring. Many people imagine that rings
are run in Il mould because they can;
see where they are soldered. The ring
spins through the turning lathes, is
rounded, pared, and polished, frs
with tripoli and then with steel hlings
and rOuuc.
