TRAINING A WOLF.
The Difficult Task Accomplished by . r
dent Dakota Man.

The Dincult Task Accomplished by q Pa
tent Dakota Man.
According to the Denver Republican, q
Dakota man, who goes by the name Of
Uncle Davy, Is the owner Of tame gray
wolf. The animal is about six months old,
weighs little more than fifty pounds, and
has very much the appearance of q we'll
kept dog, though his bearing indicates q
rather limited acquaintance with polite So
ciety. He was found in Middle Park last
summer while Uncle Davy and his family
were on a camping expedition.
Uncle Davy was riding at some distance
from camp one afternoon when suddenly he
was startled by the savage yelp of wolf
and cry Of pain from his pet greyhound.
He urged his burro to the scene, and
found his dog in serious position. An old
she wolf, with her four cubs huddled close-
ly under her, attacked the hound with her
fore-paws, struck him two severe blows on
the head, and laid him out on the ground.
Instantly the wild beast caught the side
OF the hound in her teeth, and tore out a
piece Of flesh.
She then made an attack upon the man.
Just as she leaped the frightened burro
SHE'D, and Uncle Davy struck the beast
with his stiff-brimmed hat The blow was
harmless Of itself, but the suddenness with
which 1t was dealt so astonished the wolf
that she ran away.
Uncle Davy quickly appropriated one of
the cubs, which was probably two weeks
old, and hastily retreated. The little stran-
ger W as taken in at the camp and tenderly
nursed until he was old enough to compre-
bend his surroundings and associates. Then
the process of instruction was begun, and
he soon showed himself an apt pupil in ac-
quiring such tricks as dogs are commonly
taught.
Kindness has been the ruling rod. and
Jack, while he has learned many tricks. has
never developed the least disposition to be
ugly or savage. He possesses none of the
wicked tricks known to his KIND, and h,s
tractabillty has disproved the old assertion
that gray wolf can never be domesticated.
While in the Republican office his master
put him through course Of performances
which were surprising He would lie down,
roll over, sit up, take off his masters hat
and, funniest Of all, would leap up, hug
Uncle Davy with wolfsh fervor and mis-
chievously take OF the old gentleman's

A WASTE OF EGGS.

Melancholy Adventure Which Befell q
Couple of Selfish Passengers.
Railway pigs do not always secure happi-
ness for themselves by making their fellow
passengers comfortable, writes Boston
correspondent. A friend of your corre-
spondent chanced to witness a melancholy
adventure which befell two of the breed on
suburban train the other day. Pig No. |
was unjustihably occupying two seats
while other people were compelled to stand
for want of sitting room. To keep the sec
ond place at his side he had deposited there
on good-sized paper bag full of something
The train drew up at station on its way
INTO town and pig No. Q entered the car with
slam. Pig No. was selfish pig, whereas
pig No. Q was an aggressive pig. Both
varieties are only too familiar Now ensued
a tragedy in one act. Pig No. made his
way along the aisle until he came to the
bench occupied by pig No. l for the accom-
mediation of himself and his paper bag.
Then he paused and glared. Doubtless if he
had asked pig No. to remove the offending
parcel and make room FOR him, PIG No l
would have acquiesced and all would have
been peaceful and lovely. Pig No. 2, howey
er, did not choose to make any such polite
request. He simply spread his coat tails and
sat down upon the paper bag with the pom
derous emphasis of about $50 pounds av
oirdupois. Squash! Pigs Nos. l and 2
leaped to their feet simultaneously On the
conntenance of the former was an ex-
preston of pardonable anger, on that of the
latter were written emotions of horror and
alarm. At the same time the passengers
near by observed that pig No was liter
ally covered as to his rear with fluid of
chrome yellow tint, which trickled down
the legs of his trousers to the floor. The
seat he had so suddenly vacated was a pud-
die Of the same.
''Sirl' exclaimed pig No l, wrathfullv.
show dare you smash my eggs?"
'JackassP' replied pig No. 9, with equal
heat, ''what do you mean by setting a tran
with your Internal hen fruit for decent
people to sit down uponP'
1.-TWO dozen and half, fresh laid,n said
pig No. 1. "rn thank you to pay me for
them"
"a brand new pair of fourteen dollar
pantaloons," rejoined pig No. Q. Replace
them or fight"
1t was the brakeman who interfered and
put an untimely stop to what promised to
be an unusually interesting scrimmage.
And at the last view the writer's friend
had of the com batants, as the train came to
full stop In the Boston depot, pig No. was
leaving the car breathing awful threats of
action for assault, while pig No. was be-
ing wiped off with newspapers by the brake
man aforesaid. Most of the passengers.
strange to say, appeared to be grieved that
the two had not been permitted to wipe
each other out unmolesteds There are
plenty of railway pigs to spare in these
parts.

What We Know of Color.

All that we know of color, its causes and
effects, is in connection with the wave the
ory of hight. Color depends upon the num-
ber of light waves reflected from any OBJ
ject impinging upon the retina of the eye.
In red there are about 10000 waves to the
inch, and these will strike the eye at the
rate of AZ millions of millions of pulsations
per second. In violet there are $1,000
waves to the inch, and 600 millions of mill
ions of pulsations per second. The other
colors have wave lights intermediate be
tween these two. Color does not, there
fore, exist either in the object nor in the
brain nor in the mind of the observer. 1t
is an effect There can be no appearance
of fire on desert island where there is
no eye within seeing distance. The chem
ical process called combustion goes on, but
there is no appearance of the flame save
when its waves strike upon the retina Of
An eye.

Turks and Danoinr Raar.

The dancing bear nuisance has become so
great in New Orleans that the police courts
have taken action on the matter and
ordered the seizure of all bears found upon
the public roads unless Gagged. There is
scarcely house in Louisiana that has not
been visited by wandering Turks and their
bears. If dime is given to one of them to
get rid of him. the unhappy donor will find
a dozen bears and two dozen Turks at his
front door next morning, all asking for the
same recompense. If they get no money,
they will ask for food, and if refused, they
will lie down in front OF the house and ex.
press their intention of diving there
