A wonderful example of patience in

port dealing with the manufacture of
salt in central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored In the rock
by means of primitive form Of iron
drill, and sometimes period of forty
years elapses before the coveted brine Is
reached, 30 that the work is carried on
from one generation to another. During
this time the boring, as may be mag
ined, goes down to an immense depth.
When brine Is found 1t is drawn up in

brine is evaporated in iron caldrons, the
heat being supplied by natural gas,
which is generally found in the vicinity
Of the salt wells.

think of beginning any task on Friday.
Itwould be q long and arduous one il
she did. Neither would she take q broom

goods from one place to another. Old
brooms would be left behind and new
ones bought, A cat also would be left
behind while the goods were being
moved. 1t would, however, be safe to
return and bring the cat alone. To

WILD BEASTS HIS fRlENpa.
The Queer Stories Told About Pioneox
Washington Rancher.

washington Ranchers
Among the visitors to Seattle the past
week was Peter Gallagher, arancher Ev-
ing three miles from Renton. Mr.. Gala
CHER is one of the pioneers Of the sound
country, and has lived on the same place
for twenty years or more, taking up q
quarter section as a homestead from the
government BY years of hard toll he
has cleared up and improved splendid
place, which, though secluded from the
outside world, Is a model ranch, Of which
the owner is justly proud.
Mr.. Gallagher is not given to hunting
and does not modest wild game of any
kind, and to this may be ascribed the
tameness of a number of animals which
make the woods in that vicinity home.
One of these, q black bear, has for year
visited his stockyard almost daily and
eaten with the cattle, lying down among
the calves and displaying neither fear nor
ferocity.
Mr.. Gallagher goes among the stock
and frequently passes within two or
three feet of his bearship, not only in the
yard, but in the woods. He pays no at
tention to the bear and the latter never
offers to modest him-on the contrary,
eatswith evident satisfaction pieces Of
bacon and other scraps from the table
that are thrown out to him. The bear
lisa handsome 800 pound fellow and APP
pears to enjoy the company Of the cattle.
Other pets are a pair of fawns that
run around with the young stock on the
place, eating with the calves and lying
down among them as contented "a
though with their own kind. They evil
IDENTIFY come from the vicinity Of Cedar
lake, where considerable hunting is done
and from which section game Is being
driven. Mr.. Gallagher says he had
rather part with the best COW on his place
than one of the fawns.
This is the second time fawns have
taken up their abode at this place, che
first pair coming there about five years
ago and remaining with his stock for
two years, even going into the stables
and being locked up over night. He
gave them to a neighbor, who In turn
presented them to friends at Snohomish
and up the Skagit
This sounds fishy, but not only Is 1t
vouched for, but it is further said that
wild ducks and geese alight in his yard
and show no fear in his presence,
though the appearance OF stranger Ia
the signal for fight. Mr.. Gallagher
never hunts and will not allow hunting
on his place nor interference In any way
with his pets, either quadrupeds or
winged. -Seattle wash Press-Tmes.
