A Eamented Grizzly.

The Forest and Stream has what might
be called an obituary of one of its grizzly
bears, which has just died in the Central
Park, New York. The editor writes:
1t has become our unwelcome duty to
chronicle the death of one of the Fores
end Streams grizzlies. The record of q
bears death usually has in it flavor Of
exultation at the triumph of human skill
and daring over brutal strength and feroc.
ity. a different sentiment pervades this
record; rather it is tinged with sorrow
and regret.
1t might partake of the romantic and
pathetic to write that his spirit was broken
and that behind the bars he languished
and pined away until death came and set
him free; but reverence for the truth COM
pels us to record that our grizzly died, not
of a broken heart, but of the blizzard. DR.
COnklin advises us that in the eyer-mem-
orable storm Of last March this bear-who
had come from a blizzard land-contracted
a severe cold, which settled on his lungs,
and developing into acute pneumonia, has
carried him off.
In their conception of future life the
Indians make provision for those wild
creatures which are mans brothers and are
like him immortal. The hide of our bear
is here in New York taxidermist's shop
but a Blackfoot would tell you that his
shade had taken the trail to the setting
sun, and pursuing its rapid course over
fields and forests, past populous cities and
far.stretching prairies, had found its way
at last to the Sandhills, and there, in COM
pany with the shades of its fathers, it is
to-day "rustling for grub" through the
shadows in pursuit of shadow beetles, or
feasting on the phantom remnant of phan-
tom buffalo slain by phantom brave.

Familiar Birds,

Some years ago while deer shooting in
northern Michigan | was seated on run
way back in the woods waiting for some
thing to turn up, and had kindled a little
fire to warm my stiffening fingers, when
noticed flock of birds of kind unknown
to me at that time, in the surrounding
trees. They were chock-full of curiosity
and impudence, and seemed to be chatter
ing at me; and every little while one
would hop on some twig little nearer,
and all seemed to take good deal of in
terest in what | was doing and what had
fire for. Finally they approached quite
near, and taking some crackers from my
pocket | broke them in pieces and tossed
them to the birds, and they at once scram-
bled down to where the dainty morsels
were and proceeded to walk off with them
then put some pieces on top of stump
beside me and it was not long before they
alighted within two or three feet of where
was sitting, seemingly not in the least
afraid, and picked up pieces of cracker
| They continued doing this until finally
they became so bold that they would take
| the pieces from between my fingers, and
one, more courageous than the others
seemed to be quite vexed because pinched
the cracker and and would not let it go al
once, and twisted his head and pulled at
three or four times as you have seen chick
ems do when you held something tightly
between your fingers for them to take.

4 Foe to the White Scale.

William G. Klee, the Inspector of Or
chards i'll connection Nth tie State Horti-
cultural Commission, has received from
Frazer s. Crawford, Horticultural Inspec-
tor at Adelaide, West Australia, 9 consisn-
ment of parasite flies that prey upon other
orchard parasites, notably the c0ttony-cu sh-
ion scale, which is the worst enemy of the
citrus planters. So great have been the
ravages of the cottUny cushion scale in
many of the southern localities that grow
ers have entirely rooted their orange trees
in despair, whole orchards having been de-
stroyed. In Australia the citrus planters
have no trouble. The parasite ily does the
fight fer them, keeping the scale subdued.
Mr.. Klee intends to coloniza the parasite in
San Mateo county, and will adopt such
plans for their propagation for distribution
as he trusts will be successful. One or two
previous consignments have been sent, but
the insects died from the effect OF heat
while passing through the tropics. Those
just received were kept in u refrigerator
and came through III good condition, and

erS with more effective and less costly
agent for The destruction of the cot;ony-

Steps in the icy covering of the walls of

the party reached the IL 900foot station
beyond which only two persons, H. W.
Fuller and Loring Rixford, ventured, the
time remaining being too short for all to
attempt to reach the summit. OF the two
who went forward. one reached the monu-

exhausted TO traverse the last twenty or

with the party became so chilled and SO
overcome by the effect of the rarefie6 at

down and refused to move, begging her
compani WIS to permit her to remain where
she was, which would have been certain
death, and was induced TO go forward only
after much difficulty. 1t is the usual prac-
tee OF those who ascend the mountain TO
descend over the packed snow sitting On
eunny sack and sliding down the steep in
clines. But on this occasion such mode
of descent was impossible, the covering of
the mountain being like glass. Although
the trip was so hard several of the party
propose TO make another attempt TO reach

A Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable that everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat
and if allowed to continue their ravages
they extend to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
1t will give You immediate relief.
