An Accidental Meeting.

"Did you see any grizzlies out that
wayf" is a question that has been put to
me several times since my return from
railway surveying in British Columbia.
And people seem disappointed when l
reply that l saw very little Of these
formidable animals-that never even
aimed a gun ut one, and that the only
meeting l ever had with one of the
beasts was a purely accidental affair,
which made all possible haste to ter
inmate.
One Saturday afternoon-the sixth
day OF August, my memorandum in
forms me having finished up my week s
work of triangulation, took tin pail
and set off to gather berries. Setting
off to return to the camp at length, L
decided to take a route farther back
from the creek where the underground
was less dense, and by so doing found
rather better footing, keeping in the
belt OF pines and hemlocks just at the
foot of the cliffs.
After travelling for mile, perhaps, l
sat down to rest at n place where the
hollow widened back little at the point
of opening of a side canon.
Directly behind where | had been sit
ting there was a clump of dog wood
rank and thick. stepped quietly around
this, when-could l credit my eyes-I
was within thirty feet of a huge, iron
grey animal, which stood with its back
to me tearing open an old log!

and his crew followed them, and after
n lew hours search came upon the OBJ
ject of their search near the center of
the islcnd, seated on the ground, en-
gagged in removing the blubber from
u seal with n knife made of bone.
Two of the sailors walked softly up
behind the unsuspecting woman,
while Capt. Nedever stepped around
in front Of her. Instead ofexhibiting
surprise or alarm, the woman met
Nidever and the others with a smile,
and other demonstrations ofpleasure
and readily accompanied them to the
boat.
In appearance she was above the
medium height, OF rather fair COM
plexion and pleasant countenance.
Her hair, originally black, was bleach
ed to reddish brown by exposure
| to the clements. She was about 80
years of age.
Several of the Oldest Indians on the
coast were brought to see the woman.
but with none could she converse, her
eighteen years of solitude evidently
having caused her to forget her Ian
guage, although she had recourse to
the sign language, by which she made
her wants known. In this way she
explained that her child had been
eaten by the wild dogs, peculiar
species of which lived on the island.
The womanlived atSanta Barbara
but few weeks when she became i'll,
presumably because of change oil
diet, and died. Her dress, made Of
sea-bird feathers, so arranged M to
shed water, was sent to Rome, togeth-
er with various trinkets and imple-
ments of her manufacture.

NAKED.

The natives OF tropical countries are
seldom so much astonlshed as they are
when first introduced TO snow and ice.
The congealing Of water is a phenom-
non they are slow to comprehend. A
few months ago, saws the New York
Sun, Sir William McGregor enticed sew
erai New Guinea natives TO the hitherto
unscaled summit OF Mount Owen Stan
ley.the loftiest peak in British Austral-
asia.
On it's barren summit, nearly thous-
and feet above the zone Of vegetation,
big icicles were found, and the natives,
when hey touched them. declared that
their fingers had been burned.
A year ago. when Mr.. Ehlers assembled
Mount KilmanI aro, in Africa, his native
porters, who had lived all their lives
near the base OF the great mountain,
pulled OH the boots with which they
bad been provided. and plunged merfily
into the snow ip their bare feet. They
lost no time in piunging out again, and
lay writing on the ground. insisting
that their feet had been severely
burned

The Eyes of a Boy.

The boy of whom l write is never at
n loss to find something TO observe, says
Forest and Stream. Last year q heavy
shower caught him while he was fish
ing. From his retreat he kept an eye
out to see whatever there was 10 be
seen, and shortly observed the dragon
I flies, great and little, settling IN the Ia II
brook grass for shelter from the ra q.
| Before the shower was fairly over lie
saw tho cedar birds come and drive he
| dragon flies from their covert, hunting
them down in all their laoe-winged
! flnery. The great three-inch dragon
flies, painted with black and yellow,
were too strong for the birds, but the
little slender fellows, done up in fancy
colois, brown, green, blue and dusky,
became meat for the hunters.
THIS fail. when padding up Caucom-
Eomoc stream, we saw cedar birds sit
I ting out on the rush beds near the md
die of the Stream. This was just after
q shower. Had they been catching
dragon e. :? The hoy was not there TO
tell %
Some time ago l demonstrated with
him Cor throwing stones at kingflrd,
but was told that he was doing ii only
! to please the bird. True enough it did
ploase the bird. From his perch on a
! high tree tba kngbird calculated the
curve of each stone, chattering his de-
fiacce AS the missile whizzed by, rising
a few feet when he saw that 1t came too
near, only to settle again to the same
place.
As it amused both bird and boy, l al
lowed it to continue, and for several
days the kIngbird returned daily to en-
JOY the sport.
One could not be even the best of boys
and not sometimes enjoy hectoring
other creatures, but frequently the most
distress is caused by the most innocent
intentions. The boy is always bringing
home Z" chippies" and young robins,
leaving the distressed parents TO mourn
until their offspring ia returned. One
poor song sparrow doubtless denounced
him a. a murderer because he choked
one of her yellow mouthed nestlings by
feeding it with straw berries against her
expressed wishes, although the jury
impaneled on the case gave 1T an &C
quittal.
Once knew him to catch in his hand
a full-grown yearling common tern,
perfectly able to fly. From babyhood
the boys cry has been for ''sumsin live
to play wiv." No matter what the
creature was-a dog, kitten ANY stray
kitten was treated by HIM like prin-
cess in disguised, bird, young mouse
or even toad.

Thirsty Travellers. Tree.

A European traveller on his way from
the coast OF Madagascar to the cap tai +,
Antanarivo, in the interior, had emptied
his water flask and was suffering from
thirst, says the Missionary Herald. He
asked one Of the natives of his party
when he would be able to obtain water.
"Any time you like it," said the ma
tive, smiling.
The European saw no signs of springs
or water, but the native conducted him
to group of tall, palm-like trees,
standing in II cluster on the edge of the
forest, with straight trunks and bright
green broad leaves growing from the
opposite sides of the stalk, and making
the tree appear like a great fan. The
white man gazed admiringly at the tree
"You think it is u fine tree,' said the
native, "but will show you what it is
good for"
He pierced the root Of one of the leaf :
stems at the point where it joined the
tree with his spear, whereupon . stream
of clear water spurted out, which the
European caught in his< water-can. ana
found cool, fresh and excellent to drink.
The party having satisfied their thirst
aud taken supper, the native who had
spoken went on.
"Tnis tree, which is good for us in
more ways than one, we call the travel
ers' tree"
"BuL where does the water come from
that the tree contalnsr' asked the VIII To
man. us it taken up from the soil?"
'Oh, no." SAID the native. Tue

them, and when it has passed all

neck; his hands and arms are also
biackened up TO the elbows, aud the
same with his legs down 10 the knees.
Around his loins he wears several wild
cat skins. Standing in front Of his VIC
tim, he makes Mt first two or three
feints with his knife, to get proper
swing. Then, deliberately bending
down and taking piece OF chalk, put
there for the purpose, he draws a thin
line around the neck, and putting a
little fine sand on his hand 80 as to get
n good grip, with one quick blow with
his knife, sewers the head from the
trunk. Until just before the execution
the whole village is wild in expecta-
ton of the event. Groups OF dancers
are to be seen, drummers ut work, and
every kind of musical instrument TO
add to the tumult. The head, after be-
ing severed, is jerked up in the air by
the released tension of the pole.
Then, upon the sight of the blood,
their vilest and most inhuman passions
are aroused. They act like wild beasts,
clutch at the head, smear each other in
the face with blood. and general
scrimmage always ensues, resulting.
more often than not, fatally.-Scri6ner
