Not Encouraging Co sors h um.
lChicago Journal ]

The report Of the chemist of the national department Of agriculture in ref erence 10 the sugar industry of the United States says:
 The total sale of sorghum for the year will not exceed 500. OOO pounds. and the manufacturers will barely make expenses Owing to the low price of sugar and molaSSes. there is no immediate prospect of sorghum sugar becoming an important factor in the markets of the country. The outlook for beet sugar is more hopeful: ,he efforts 10 develop cane sugar in Louis jana are hampered by the crisis in the sugar market. and that industry in the United States will languish unless new methods of manufacture are introduced. -

PERILs OF RAPID crvu1zATros.

When, however, barbsrcus peoples come Tn contact with higher civiliza- tion, they almost invariably undergo a decay pretty nearly proportional to the intimacy of the contact, CT rather, to the readiness with which they en- desvor to conform themselves to the manners of their new neighbors. Here is an imIoriaLt point. There Is no mysterious influence, no blight caused by ciyiiza.iou. There is much loose talk aDout OerLarIans melting away
 before the light of progress. It may do for the poet to speak of the witheripg breath of civilization as blasting the child of nature, but the :eal cause O! the depressing effect cf our civilization upg the favsge lies in himself, and in his sudden attempt to assimilate what Is foreign to the whole tenor of his personal habits, confirmed as they are by centuries of inherit d experience. The instances, plentiful enough, of race decay following civiliza- ton, are all in peoples in whom cir cumstances have led to a sudden and unnatural conformity with the manners of a stronger and more advanced nation. ThIs has ocsusred generally where the sayages have been brought III contact ..f4 xuffl r.aNr,1a nr with missionaries, tha latter cause operating for the most part only when the barbarous tribe was small and the Chri ,;iarizing influence, tte:e ore

,omernin= Ncw m LITe insurance


 The well-known fact that life insurance companies find excessive mortality in their risks in certain sections of the south and southwest has bcen ihe subject of some interest lately. Several of the Hartford companies who have examined the facts. have found that this mortality came di- rectly from inebrieiy. and was due to the liberal interpretation of the agents. who did mol realize that any risk Of incbricty was pcrilCus uulCss the insured had suffered from dCUTium tr,mcus many times. No Use of alcohol. either moderate or occasionally immoicratc. was thought Co be dangerous
 The agents and examiners hal no clear conception of the danger of alcohol, and treated the companies views as extreme The result was tha Vccial examiners were sent from the home O.tCe Go cancel all the risks of l0.OJl ani upward where the in Surcd were found using alcohol tO any cN- cess. Finally some of tEe companies withdrew their agents altogether and do not solicit bu>inc,s in certain sections. In one case twenty eight deaths were all traced Co ihc excessive Use of alcohol. anI were all pad. s.mrly bccau>c it was cheaper to settle than Co contest.
 Al artCcut uCCt.Ig Of the Tennessee state board of health. thc secretary re- ported that a Hartford life insurance com pany had or,icrci it- agent, no. Co issue any policies in SiN countries of the state. owing 10 the cc--iyc morality of the policy -LoiGc.S. The question came up of the cause or this mortality, as no reports indicated any special disease in this sec ton. a letter Va, addressed 10 the SecTe- tary of the company Co know jhc season.
 The answer was that from the amount of insured lives in these counties. the aver age loss to the company should bc about $tS. OJO. when in fact it Wa, over SljO, 900 more than doub'c the loss of any other section. and that without any special cause of epidemic diScase
 The real explanation was the want of care in taking risks and the number of in ebriates who had been taken as proper

Rum-FiiIed Walking Sticks

''There is a cane" said well known
dealer in gentlemen's furnishing goods
yesterday, ''that l have just patented.
1t was suggested to me by the habit
that very young men have of wearing
the heads of their sticks in their
mouths. 1t is of b<mboo and is lined
with Il thick covering of porcelain. The
head may be of whatever shape the
purchaser desires. A crabs claw.
dogs head, or simply straight ivory
handle. but running through it is fine
tube. guarded at its outer end by a
spring valve. You see at once the i'm
mediate advantage of such cane.
''lt would be very light" said his
customer.
MY dear sir, returned the haber-
dasher, sit can be filled with any
liquid. If the young man who carries
it is very young he can carry supply
of milk with him, and as he strOllS
along Fifth Avenue refresh himself
with cooling drau@hts OF that harmless
fluid. Think" he continued enthusi-
astically. ''of being able to carry with
you to the theater n dozen whisky
cocktails or few brandy smashes. As
you sit gazing abstractedly into the
eyes of your far companion, you can
imbibe inspiration from her and rum
from the cane at the same time. Be-
sides my invention does away with
those particularly harrassing excuses
about going out to see man, or such
statements as the gas makes me faint,
l must get breath of fresh air."
s.It' a wonderful idea," observed the
customer as ne grasped the possibili-
ties af the invention. make me one
big enough to hold a quart of ice
cream. Pm awfully fond of girl and
she is awfully fond of cream, but she
prefers it melted. When next l walk
out with her l won't have to dodge
around the corner from 'Preezem, the
confeetioner,' but | can hand her my
stick and tell her to help herself.
That's n use for it that had not sug-
tested itself to me-" concluded the pat
entee. ''but l assure you have already
received sufficient orders from local
option towns TO insure my fortune. u

Fighting With Six Bears.

Not long since | was riding toward
Cloud Peak and had gone only three
miles, when / discovered two enor-
nous grizzlies down in horseshoe can
yon. | left my pony, went to the can
yon wall and opened fire on the ene-
mics. The bears were 500 yards away.
Nv first shot wounded one of the
monsters. and the wounded one imme-
diately attacked the other bear. They
fought desperately for fifteen minutes.
1t was terrible encounter; the beasts
would strike, bite and roll around,
giving frightful growls, enough to
scare a fellow even at the top of the
canyon. The wounded bear was beat
en- by its antagonist, after which 1 shot
the victor. They were both ferocious
looking animals. and the two would
weigh over 5000 pounds. Their tusks
measured inches. claws 4 inches,
feet IA inches. and the bears were u
feet long.
Leaving the two bears | walked over
a ridge not more than a mile away,
and came on TO four more, two black
and two silver-tip bears. They did
not see me and my position was a good
one. on the lee and near a nice smooth
crag of granite. Slipping on pair of
mOccasins. | was soon on top of the
granite knob, 150 feet above ground.
l opened fire Immediately, only 200
yards; killed two the first shot, and
soon had them rolling down the
mountain together. 1t was an exciting
time; the four bears made a terrible
noise. Bawling and deep growls.
mingled with Keen reports from my
rifle, echoed and re-echoed. making a
sound riValing the very hall of pande-
mOnium itself.
In a few minutes all was quiet save
the passing breezes through the pine
boughs and few squalling ravens.
listened closely for more bear, and
could occasionally hear their peculiar
whistle across on the opposite noun
tain. But none were in sight. After
seeing a large eagle swoop down
among the pines. catching y grouse. L
descended from my rocky knob and
ventured up to the bears. There they
all lay in heap, all dead and in the
gulch together. Those six bears would
weigh over 1000 pound.-SaH Lake
