Well-informed lumbermen declare
that there is moee timber in the forests
of Maine today than there was ten
years ago, because care has been eXer-
cised in the telling of trees during
recent years. Only good sized trees are
cut nowadays, the smaller being al
lowed to stand until they attain a
proper growth A great amount of
pulp wood is cut on second growth
tracts, but i'm lumber operations no
small trees are felled. There is less de-
struction by fire now than formerly.
a deputation waited on the lord
mayor of London the other day to
obtain his aid in securing a fair trial in
Londop for anthracite coal. They said
there was prejudice against this coal
in London on the part of domestic
servants, who complained that ii was
very difficult to light fires with anthra-
cite. The deputation said, however,
that nothing was easier than lighting
ordinary fires, and that great economy
resulted from its use. They thought
the introduction of anthracite would
contribute to abate the fog nuisance in
London. There are about 1900
houses in London which on cold days
consume 10000 tons of coal, emitting
$50 tons Of sulphur. Anthracite, they
said, was being largely used in Paris,
Berlin and other continental cities.
The lord mayor said that, in the public
interest, he would do everything in his
power to secure fair trial for anthra-
cite coal in London.

Individ 1al!fy in Art.

Let six great painters paint portrait or
Landscape Eici Wiz faithfully repro
duce, yet each will be different. 1t is the
portrait or the landscape plus the individ-
uality of the artist No two alike, yet all
faithful, all artistic. Six photographs
would be exact reproductions and exactly
alike But they would be nature copied,
while art is nature idealized. In the same
manner dead horse stuffed would be truer
to nature but the sculptured horse would
be truer art.-Music.

Electric Railways in Great Britain.

In September, 1883, railway of three
feet gauge, six miles in length, was opened
between Portrush and Bushmills, in the
north of Ireland Various other short lines
have been opened at Bessbrooke and Newry,
in Ireland, and Blackpool, in Lancashire.
In 1890 an electric railway was opened
which is carried through a subway and is
81 miles in length, called the City and
South London railway But all of these
together probably do not make length Of
thirty miles. London Tit Bits.

There will be a dense odor of salmon
aud CLAIMS in the court room next
week during the trial of George Swi-
loos, the Indian charged with the
murder of Moses Gounkins, which
begins Monday morning. Over thirty
Lummi Indians have been subppnaed
as witnesses and the rest of the tribe
will be crowded into the court room as
spectators, The Indians are all deeply
interested i'm the case. Some of them
find themselves in a quandary. Their
race prejudices lead them to hope for
the defendants acquittal, while on the
other hand if he is found not guilty,
they will not get the reward of $3.50
dependent upon his conviction.
About twenty Indians were at the
court house yesterday, expecting to
meet S. II. Piles, SwilSos' attorney,

Fractional Currently Again

A movement in favor of the issue of
fractional currency is in progress.
Business men who conduct a large
business by mail are much annoyed
by the want of some mailable form of
currency. Silver coins are too heavy
and bulky for transmission by mail,
and are far from safe, as any one who
handles the letter can ascertain their
presence. Postage stamps have come
into extensive use for the transmission
of small amounts, and this has become,
in many cases, a positive annoyance,
owing to their accumulation on the
hands of merchants. They are also
bought at postof1ices which, under the
law, obtain no credit for selling them.
The Scientific American believes that,
from these points of view alone, the re-
introduction of fractional currency
would be an excellent enactment on
the part of the government"

themselves of the city scavcngcr. Tho
summer is approaching, and his honor
is determined that the town shall be

riblc mead. But the Indian, by feint,
finally got in Il good blow and knocked
the huge fellow over on his side We
then found that an earlier blow had
broken the VOLTS back and he had been
making the fight without the use of his
hind legs. lie was monster, and his
brush-thc first of the day-vcry prop
erly swung from the girdlc of the In
dian that killed him.
by noon the men were within ten feet
of each other, and the little circle was
like a net filled full of tossing, snarling,
fighting, frightened wolves. They were
running constantly, and whenever one
came near enough the line he was
struck with club. If he fell some man
sprang forward and dispatched him.
We had disnounted, and detail of sol
diers was holding the horses. Some
times wolf would advance straight to-
ward the line, and insist on attacking
some one man. Had they been less
frightened the fight would have been
very unequal. but in their terrified con-
dition they fell an easy prey and were
killed. The line pressed closer, leaving
the dead and tailless victims behind. till
the top of the hill was reached.
On the ivy summit, hiding behind n
bushy cedar, was the bear Thompson
had turned back in the morning. He
would not advance, and as he was too
strong to be safely attacked with clubs
we were debating whether we should
not suspend the rules and shoot him.
lie was turning slowly and clumsily
about, presenting his front as much as
possible. and all of sudden, as his
back turned toward us, the Navajo who
had killed the wolf in the morning
lcaped forward with the swiftness and
silence of light and struck his knife in
the bears side just back of the Shout
der.
l'ruin gave q great roar and rolled n
his back. He lay there, fighting with
feet and teeth. till the Navajo, creeping
close. struck him again and again cs-
capped unframed. 1t WAS the last of the
game. We had killed one hundred and
three coyotes, thirty-onc gray wolves

was over and the officers and men re-
turned to the fort There has not been
so exciting a hunt in the memory of the
oldest officers here, or one which will
probably do more to rid the region Of

highly colored plumagc. Later they
fly north to the Colorado mountains,
and in the winter they are along the
Rio Grande, south of here.
From the two stations the completed
circle of two hundred men made a most
impressive sight. 1t was particularly
interesting to the Indians, who had seen
the cavalry corral them in just this
manner in the old, less peaceful times.
Occasionally one could see the entire
ring, nearly every man being exposed
to view. But as they crcpt forward the
inequalities of the ground hid many of
them, and we could only go forward
with the belief that all other men were
likewise doing their outy.
Shouts rose from the men ut different
places, for animals were Jumping up
almost constantly. Now and then a
wolf would try to break through the
line and escape, but, as II :ulc. they
were turned back and compelled to
minglc in the closer company OF their
kind. The center OF the circle was an

sagcbrush all about it and little fringe
of cedar on the crown. We could see as
we advanced the catch had been very
large one, for wolves and coyotes were
thick upon the hill and were running
cxcitcdly in every direction. Little by
little the line narrowed till the men
were twenty yards apart. Suddenly to-
ward the portion where l was riding
there came very charge of the terrified
animals. The wolves were the largest
had ever seen. Indians and men set
up series of yclls, began brandlshing
clubs and trying to turn back the at
tack. The leaders of the animals
wavcred little, but came nearer.
AS they drew within fifty yards
noticed one big gray wolf was lcaping
high and bowling at every jump. He
was II veteran, and was angry. He
would not turn to the right nor lett, but
came straight toward the Indian on my
right. The hunters had swcrvcd little
toward us from either hand to repcl
the advance, and could not have been
over dozen yards apart when the wolf
struck the line. Behind him was a
circling, screaming army of coyotes,
making the rounds and ATTEMPTING
everywhere to escape. We knew if he
got through that stream of animals
would follow him, and nothing could
stop it. The Indian on foot ahead of
the line ran to intercept the big wolf,
brandishing his club, and gave a YER
liable war-whoop. The wolf for the
first time turned aside. lie turned
straight toward the Indian, and when q
dozen feet from him rose in the air for
leap that threatened tcrrors. The In
dian was as game as Grccian. He
used to excellent advantage his one in
slant of time, measuring perfectly the
distance and velocity and swung his
club SO as to strike ut exactly the prop
err place. and with all the force he could
summon. His long cudgcl met the wolf
fairly on the head, and the animal came
down in n heap. Before one of us could
dismount the Navajo had laid on his
bludgcon with telling effect. The huge
animal raised up on his launches, snap
ping and barking, starting forward at
each blow and keeping the Indian in
tenscly occupied.
One man went to his assistance, for
in the momcntary distraction of atten-
ton the rest of the wolves had all but
broken through the line. The soldier
who walked forward was neither so
brave nor SO agile as the Navajo, and
could not come near that bristling, teEs
