Never dry wet shoe without first

Effects OF lightning on Trees.

Everybody knows that milk is
valuable food, that if it is taken hot
it is wonderful tonic and sedative
as well. And so everybody who can
drink milk at all drinks it, and has
the comfortable self-approbation of a
person who feels that he or she is
taking good care of himself or herself.
The usual way in which that pleasing
duty is performed is by drinking the
milk as one drinks water to quench
ones thirst-in large swallows. That
is not the way to drink it scientifically,
and to get the good result out of oft.
la order to do that, milk must be sip
ped-sipped slowly, and not swal-
loved hastily. The reason for it in.
wolves the mysteries Of digestion, and
is thus set down by the scientists:
The action Of the gastric juice coagu-
lates the milk. When the entire
quantity is swallowed hastily, a solid
curdlod mass is formed in the stom-
ach, which is harder to digest than
lobster OF Welsh rabbit. On the
| other hand, when the fluid is swal-
lowed slowly, it becomes finely divi-
ded and penetrated by the gastric
fluid, digesting, therefore, in a much

Grizzlies in Mortal Combat.


George Ayres,a hunter in the noun
tains of Washington, where the grizzly
bear grows to an enormous size, tells
this story of combat he witnessed
from the safe retreat of tall tree, to
which he fled from the approach Of
one of the beasts.
Ayers tells the story most graphic
ally and says that it lasted long
enough for him to get over his scare
and pay close attention to what was
going on. He had been out hunting,
having started at daylight and at
about two o'clock in the afternoon he
was surprised by meeting large
grizzly bear right in his path. He
did not have time to do anything but
climb tree, and the old brute imme-
diately laid siege to him and attempted
to reach up at him. While this was
going on Ayers heard noise up the
trail an there saw another bear COM
ing down toward his tree. He thought
he was in for a night of it, as the two
would keep him there until he was
starved or some one came to his as
sistance. He was mistaken, hswever,
for the TIVE bears were evidently not
friendly, and one of them undoubtedly
thought that.the other was poaching
on his preserves, for the animals no
sooner saw each other than they
roared sand rushed at each other bent
on fight.
Then ensued one of the widest
scenes ever Witnessed in the noun
taies---a battle between the kings of
the forest. The aniseals fought with
skill that showed them both to be
tine victor of many n previous con.
