A Bears Natural BathtuS.

II. N. Price, a Washington State land
"cruiser," who has just returned from a
trip through the unsettled pirts Of
Clarke and Cowlitz Counties, reports
bears quite plentiful in the wilds of
those counties. He and his brother ran
into a regular bears bathtub on the top
of ridge several miles back from the
Cowlitz River. A great fir tree fully
six feet across had burned within two
feet OF the ground, and the centre hal
also been burned to depth Of two or
three feet and the rains Of winter hal
filed it with water. Leading up to this
natural bathtub was well-beaten bear
track and the animals must have made
frequent visits to the tub, for its bottom
contained the settings Of dirt washed Oh
by Bruin during his many baths. Wher
tho Price brothers saw the trail it was
still wet from recent visit OF old
Bruin. San FIansisco Examiner.

Neuetahle Wonders.

There are many vegetable wonders in
this world OF ours.
Certain tropical trees furnish clothes,
as we'll as food, and the inner bark OF
Others is smooth and flexible enough for
writing paper. The bread tree has
solid fruit, little larger than a cocoa
nut. and when cut in slices aud cooked
can scarcely be distinguished from ex-
celleut bread. The weeping tree of the
Canary Islands is wet, even in drought,
constantly distilling water in its leaves,
AMI the wine tree OF Mauritius Island
furnishes good wine, instead of water.
A kind of ash in Sicily has a sap which
hardens into sugar, aud Is used as such
By the natives without any refining. The
product of the wax tree in the Andes
resembles beeswax very closely. Then
there is the butter tree Of Africa, which
produces much as hundred pounds at
once, only to he renewed in a few
months. This secretion when hardened
and salted, is difficult to distinguish
from fresh, sweet butter. Closely rival
ing this is the milk tree OF South
America, the sap Of which resembles rich
cows milk, and is used as such by the
natives. China can boast OF soap tree,
the seeds of which, when used as soap,
produce strong suds and remove dirt and
grease readily.
In direct opposition to these useful
trees is the man-eating plant of the
tropics, which resembles Venus's ay-
trap in its nature, It has short, thick
trunk armed with narrow, flexible
barbed spines.-Goldthwaite's Geo.

Buttons ami Combs Made Of Blood.

There is a large factory at small

to $50 workers, which is wholly given
over to the manufacture of useful articles
from waste animal blood. At certain
seasons of the year this unique factory
uses from 10000 to 15,ocO gallons Of
fresh blood per day. 1t is first converted
into thin sheets By evaporation aud GER
tain chemical processes, aud afterwards
worked up into variety of useful arti-
cles, such as combs, buttons, earrings,
belt clasps, bracelets, etc. Tons OF these
articles are sent to all parts OF the world
every year from this Sucker State manu-
factory.-St. LOUIS Republic.

To clasp my neck would throw away its toy.
And hide its dimples in my shining hair,
Bewider'd by the maze Of glory therel
But now-oh shadow of a young girls face;
Uncolord lips that Pains cold fingers trace
You will not blame the child whose wee

Not on the blighted bud, but on the rose
SO rich and fair.

Oh Just little fair, with some soft touch
About my face TO giorify it much
If no one shunnd my presence, or my kiss,
Nv heart would almost break beneath its

And perfect light shall aoo1 each blinded

When days flush merges into sunsets bars,
And night is here. AMI then beyond the
