Wild DOG. OF the NIountains.

The writer has had on one or two
occasions prior to this to tell of the
fierce natures and savage practices OF
the wild dogs which infest the noun
tains of the Upper Wind river. These
dogs are not the common wolf of the
western prairie and mountains. They
arc something more powerful anu
dangerous. Several y-@rs since q
male Scotch staghouud and a female
English bull doc ran away in company
from Fort Washable, made their nome
n the mountains, aud these wild dogs
Of the Upper Wind river are their saw
ace offspring. with such ancestor
SHIN how can this wild offspring help
beng canine terror?
To the speed and endurance Of the
Scotch staghound is matched the ie-
rocitv and tenacity OF the English bull
dog, and these Wild dogs are evidently
worthy in every way OF their origin.
Speedy, savage and stubborn, these
animals are deferred by no pursuit.
are restrained by no fear, and are
daunted by no difficulties They Pur-
sue. slay and deyour. such is the SIM
plicity and efficiency of this native

the canine marauders of which we
have any account is the destruction OF
a small herd OF bears. 1t appears that
about two weeks ago abo1. dozen
bears OF the dreaded and la.ge silver
tip variety came down from the sur

selves on the sunny slopes Of ~.

but the mingled strain OF staghound
and bull dog supplied a courage and
ferocity greater still, and at the
end of half an hour every bear had
died where he was brought to bay.
The dogs suffered severely. twenty
five of their number perishIng in the
fight. The survivors wasted little
time, however, in mourning over
their dead companions. but began at
once on the banquet their own powers
had provided. and in an hour from the
time the combat ceased, only clean

The Dead Nightingale.

The Swedish nightingale left no notes
behind her save those that linger in
the ears Of those who heard her sing
This gives the greater value to some
recollections of her which her friend,
Canon Scott Holland is publishing
We read how "she was, when in spir-
its, all alive with play and fun; she
had delicious, merry laugh, and she
could bubble with dancing delights
how "at her Christmas tree parties
for her children ana her friends her
merrimeut would be irreprcssible, "
and how charming was the part of the
maid played by her in children's the
atricals. "She hardly ever spoke a
wcld about herself, her past life, her
old interests aud glories even among
those most intimate ''with her Her
standard was severely high OF her
pupils Mt the Royal College Of Music,
it is said that She kept them as close
to their scales as MIR. Ruskin kept his

ner Wrist Bank Account.

A well-known banker, who had be-
como tired of the habit Of fumbling
i'm his vest pocket every morning that
his wife asked him to pay the neces-
sary household expenses, and who
was smartIng from the sting OF re-
cent heavy raid against Reading said
To her not long ago at the breakfast
table: Edith, can't be pestorcd

post, against which YOU can draw at
your leisure, and so not harpoon me
Just rs am about to put on my over
coat for $40 here and $50 there. "
Tho young wife. to whom the vision
of personal bank account seemed to
be on a par with a private view OF
Paradise, readily accompanied her
husband forthwith TO fashionable
bank on Fifth avenue, where her sig
nature was enrolled for Identification,
and pass book, with s., 600 to her
credit, handed to her, together with a
pretty pocket check book, containing
fifty blank checks, and interviewer mt
regular intervals with convenient
sheets of Getting paper.
Everything went on smoothly IN the
bankers household for some ten days
until, returning home one evening,
he started to upbraid his wife, in the
following terms:
why, Edith, how could you be so
eNtravagaut? You must have been
getting an entire winters wardrobe
for Your poor relatives, in addition to
paving our household expenses. Your

from the cashier of your bank, stating
that You are indebted to the bank

earliest convenience, to make good

A visit was made to the bank, and
the lady was confronted with a for

of hcr Indebtedness. She demonstrated
that 81 GROSS injustice had been done
her. and offered u evidence ten blank

When our population is $50, 000,000 in

Men looking at the masses of our

form somewhat different notions Of the

ties. Our country is a large one and
our people are engaged in many occu-
pations. Besides, III ore respect, we
may regard the entire country as CEN

connected by railroads and telcgraphs,
and that where the older states
through repeated trials and failures
reached success at last in school legis-
latiOn, the newer states, at single

nearly all cases surpassed them. Each
educator knows pretty well lis own

eational body discusses a question
