Another Bear Caught by a Cowcatcher.
AS the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger accommodation was passing
through Wade's cut, deep and narrow
passage through the rocks, about eight
miles east of Milan, Tenn, Engineer
George Pendor was surprised to see a
big brown bear come into the cut at the
west end. about ten rods away. The
bear stopped directly in the middle of
the track. facing the engine. The loco
motive bearing down upon him seemed
to paralyze the bear, and he was perfect
| ly motionless until the engine was with
in thirty feet of him, when he arose on
his launches preparatory to spring.
The train was running at the rate of
twenty miles an hour through the cut,
and seeing that he might wreck the
train by collision with bruin Engineer
Pender shut off steam. AS the train
came in contact with the bear his hind
legs opened, and he fell forward on the
cowcatcher, clawing savagely at the
hard wood. He seemed stunned or be
wildered at the strange occurrence, and
did not manifest any inclination to get
off. He rode into town on the cow
catcher, and was shot and killed.-Cor.

Food for Cattle.

Straw, corn fodder and olgh hay are
known as coarse foods because much of
such foods contain either an excess of
woody fibre and little nutrition in proper
ton to bulk, or are not as readily eaten by
stock as good hay or food of a better quail
lty. For this reason there is a large waste
OF valuable feeding material in the United
States that might be saved and used if
proper attention is given to the prepare
ton Of foods and the combining of the
different materials in a manner by which
all can be utilized, and a corresponding
gain IN meat or milk thereby secured

ner to render the food valueless, though
all OF such could be made to perform SER
vice
Animals do not eat bulky food for its
nutrition but sometimes as a complete
change from the sameness of diet. and be-
cause the bulky food distends the stomach
and aids digestion. A variety of food
Of any kind, will be preferred to one or
two articles regularly given. Cattle and
sheep that are daily allowed hay and grain,
if permitted to have access to wheat straw,
or to cornstalks, will eat quite a quantity
of such materials, and if the
straw or cornfodder is cut up, and
ground grain added, even horses have
been known to thrive we'll on such during
the winter. Where a liberal supply of
grain is allowed there is no risk incurred
by feeding the coarse foods to any class
Of stock, and it is an advantage to do so
in order to feed less hay when the season
has not been favorable to grass and hay
making.
Each animal Oh the farm is kept for a
certain purpose, and the food supplied
should be given with view of deriving
product rather than to feed simply to
supply all animals alike. If the cows are
to be kept in full flow they should be kept
on the best of food, with smaller al
lowance of coarse provender; bat for dry
COWS, oxen, sheep, or animals that require
only food for the support of their bodies
the coarse foods should compose a large
portion of the ration. Animals that are
used for breeding purposes need not be
very fat, and with good SHELTER and fair
allowance of grain and straw and fodder
may be used with the hay. 1t is not here
suggested that hay is discarded, nor are
straw and fodder proposed as regular foods,
but to urge that it is economical and
profitable to put such foods to better use
than is usual On farms, and to aim to de-
rive profit from that which is sometimes
wasted.

She Saved Her Lovers Life.

Sir Edwin Arnold relates this Japanese
tale: At the time Of the fierce strife be-
tween the Shotgun and the Loyalists, who
were for re-establishing the ancient regime
Count Ito was paying his addresses to the
lady who is now his wife. While he was a
fugitive from his enemies they tracked him
to her house and chose a band of soshis to
assasinate him. The noise Of their dogs
and the rafting of their scab-boards were
heard, and the count drew his Bizen blade
and prepared to die as a japanese lord
should, amid q circle of dead foes. The
brave lady removed the fire box over which
they were sitting, and, lifting up the mat
ting and the planks beneith, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor Of ali
japanese houses.
The murderers broke into the room just
as the irebox had been replaced and the
countess bad assumed a position of nom
chalance. They demanded tEeir victim,
and when she protested against their in
trusion and babe them search if they
wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her
about the apartment by the long, beauti-
full black hair-now touched with silver
and previously maltreated her, but could
not shake her resoIute fidelity Thanks
to her Count Ito, the hero Of many anoth-
er Strange adventure, escaped from the
chief peril Of his career, and has lived to
give his country a new constitution, and
to be one Of the foremost and best reputed
statesmen of modern times

Scores of Settlers in North Dakota
Desert Their Homes.

BISMARCK, N. d, Jan. 12.---Gov. Burke
has received dispatches from Adjutant-
General Dewey, Maj. Makee, and Capt.
Yorkley, who are at Bottinea, stating that
the situation on he Manitoba border is
not serious. No outbreak has occurred,
though the Indians are dancing and firing
their guns day and night. The settlers
have fled from their homes by the score,
and this fact leads Gov Burke to do
ev cry thing in his power to prevent an up
rising and allay the excitement.
The Governor shipped $50 stands of arms
from Bismarck to be distributed at Bott-
neau. He also telegraphed Senator Casey
to see that 1000 stands of rifles and
Gatling gun were forwarded by the War
department by first freight. Every mill
tia company in the State is in readiness to
move on short notice.
MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, Jan. IA special
to the Tribune from Valley City, N. D.,
says:
The city has been in ferment of ex-
element all day. Shortly after midnight
the bugle-call to arms was sounded, and
within an hour the members of Company
G, First Regiment, n d. c., had assembled
at the aTmory, where Capt. Peak read
telegram from Gov. Burke ordering the
company to lee ready to proceed TO the
frontier at an hour notice. By daylight
the company was ready, and is now mo-
mentarily expecting orders to go to the
front. Tom Elliot of Ransom county has
just telegraphed Gov. Burke offer to raise
and equip a full company of cavalry inside
of two dayS.''

The United States Troops and the Hos
tiles Exchange Shots Near Pine
Ridge.
The Wild Indians Are EndeayOring to
Spread Terror Among the
FriendlieS.
MaraudiDg Bands of Bucks Are Com
hitting Serious DepredatiOns
Near the Agency.

PINE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. 12.---Firing has
begun to the north of the agency. The
Indians that have broken away from the
main band are trying their best to spread
! terror among the friendies here. At
Dougherty's quarters, just north of the
agency, within 1000 yards of headquarters,
pickets have been exchanging shots since
early dawn.
1t is evident that the frenzied element
of the young bucks are bent on breaking
loose and doing what narm they can to set
tiers before the main band has a chance
to reach the agency. About thirty In
dians reached here this morning. The
bucks were disarmed beyond DOugherty's
and Campbelps camp. One fellow con-
cealed his gun beneath his blanket and got
in. He was disarmed by an Indian scout
before he could fire the shot intended to
rouse the fTiendlies. OF the thirty who
came in part were Brules. They have
been sep al ated from the Ogallas, but it is
hard to tell now which branch of the Sioux
is most vicious.
The reds are burning buildings near the
agency. From the outer line of pickets
burning cabins, both to the right and to
the left, could be seen all day, and shots
were heard in the direction of the burning
| buildings. The picketS have been doubled
| in number.
The main body of reds has moved one
mile. They are camped once more and q
present of wagon load of tobacco under
| a policy of peace will probably keep them
there until it is used up. In the mean
time the young bucks are going on raids
and burning every house that they come
| across
Gen. Brooke closed in to q point occu-
pied yesterday by the indians. He is now
within one mile of the hostiles and were it
not for the fact that the raiders strike to
the southwest and east Brooke's command
would have its hands full. The reds are
using every excuse to avoid hurrying to
the agency. A broken bridge across
White Clay Creek has been a reason adj
vanced for their slow progress. When
they went out the point at the creek in
question was crossed with a rush.

CARE OF THE FEET.
Much May be Added to Gain Comfort by
Frequent Bathing
Household Companion

Those who are annoyed by excessive pers-
piration of the feet may add much to
their comfort by bathing the feet once, if
possible twice, every day-in warm water
containing a little ammonia. Bay rum
and diluted alcohol are likewise beneficial
It the feet are very tender, a small piece
of alum dissolved in the water should be
used.
Chalk and starch made into a powder,
are recommended for rubbing feet that
blister easily.
Sometimes an offensive odor accom- pan
les the perspiration. When such cases
are chronic. some disinfectant must be
used as well as attention paid to the diet.
A harmless disinfectant is boracic acid or
permanganate of potash. If the acid is
used, dissolve one ounce in a quart of
water.
Of the potash, use twenty grains to one
ounce of water. The solutions may then
be used by dipping the hose, which should
be OF GOTTEN into the liquid and drying
them before WEAVING.
Another way is to wear cork ins0les
that have been dipped in either solution.
The articles of diet to be avoided are
onions, cheese and Fl ii. Such treatment.
with frequent bathing of the feet, is reg
ommendeI for simple cases of this dis
order. Oxide of zinc, beginning with a
very weak solution and Increasing the
quantity used, if necessary. is recommend
ed as Il sure cure.
