they have not devoted sufficient strength

A Strange Messenger.

A little bird flew into 4. 4. Hull & Co. s
store one day last week and after fitting
about the room some time, perched on "A
chandelier, directly over the head of David
James, who has charge of the childreu's
department. Ii was remarked at the time
that should the bird alight upon the head
of Mr.. James he would soon hear of the
death OF friend. No sooner were the
words said than the strange little visitor
descended directly upon the head of the
salesman. and then darted out into the
street and was gone. In a short time Mr..
James received word that his little son was
dying and Fastening home found the mes
sage TO be true. This incident actually oc-
Cured and those who witnessed it were
greatlysastonished at the verification of an
old sign. Ii was strange coincidence.

Snake Poison.

Il is stated that the blood of an ami

a rat bitten and killed by a cobra, dis

Bathing In Alaska.

Every Russian trading post, accord

once a we all the people avail them
selves of It's privileges. The apparatus
is simple, not to say primitive, but
the method is what might be called
heroic, especially the dressing in a
room where the temperature is below
zero. A rude arch Of loose stones is
built, and more stones piled over IL
so that "A fire made beneath the arch
can penetrate between them.
There is no chimney, but a trap
door in the roof. A large cask of
water heated for the purpose, and an

produced as he can bear. Then he
mounts as high on the benches as he

issues from every pore.
Next he takes a sort of broom or

prepared at the proper season and

himself till all impurities are thorough

Whose Bear Is This?

Christian Hess, a woodchopper,
while on the way TO his work on the
Blue mountain, came upon the body
of a bear lying nearthe edge of the
woods in Elder creek, the head and
fore paws resting on the bank. Fast
in one of the bears claws was q piece
of corduroy nearly O foot long and
three inches wide, which had evident
ly been torn from q hunting coat.
There were two brass buttons on it.
Hess procured the assistance of q fell
low woodchopper, and they dragged
the bears carcass out of the water.
There was a bullet hole in its left side
and several ugly cuts ON its head. The
bear had not been long dead, as the
blood where it lay was quite fresh.
No one living in this vicinity is known
TO have worn a coat such MS the frag-
ment found in.the bears claw was torn
from. There are no evidences Of any
struggle anywhere around the spot
where the bear was found, but the 81
lent testimony of the piece of coat and
the bears wounds leave no doubt that
the bear and some unknown hunter
had a big fight in the woods. What
became of the hunter and who he was
is as yet a mystery. -Houckville (Pa.)

Dwarf in body, but giant in mind, this
prodigy dictated the politics Of the
southern end Of the Florida peninsula
for years, and when he did at last re
sign his position in favor of q larger,

his fountain Of bright Democratic
