-Four Big Silyer-Tips.

John Chapman of Wyoming relates
a thrilling experience his wife had re-
Gently with four silver-tip bears, a
she bear and three cubs.
John was away from home at the
time. After eating an early supper,
Mrs. Chapman stepped outside the
kitchen door, intending to place a
pan of milk In an clubhouse. She had
just closed the door of the kitchen
when, looking up she was confronted
by four bears, all resting upon their
launches and within a few feet OF
her.
She screamed and rushed into the
house and told the hired man the
cause OF her fright and assisted in
finding the cartridges for a rife that
stood handy, and then sank into a
chair exhausted and helpless, while
the hired man made an attack on the
bears, killing the old ono and two OF
the cubs.
When Mr. Chapman returned he
found his wife in an alarming
condition, her nerves being at such
tension that he feared she would go
into Mysteries That night she COM
planned of hearing the bear screaming
outside. and finally, TO satisfy her,
John got up, and taking his gun
went to the door, where, sure enough,
was the remaining bear, standing
nut In the cold. The cub made for
the bush as soon as he heard John
coming, but In the morning the dogs
were turned loose on his trail, and
young bruin was brought in to CON-
plete the family. The cubs were full
IL half-grown silver-tips and averaged
over $50 pounds each. The she bear
was a big one--as large as COW.

A t.o-as-Yor-Please Train.

"Did you over ride on train where
they stopped to kill snakes?" said a
Young man few days ago. well,
did. While coming over the Red
stone branch in Fayette County,
last week, the train suddenly checked
its speed and stopped. On going to
the windows and platform to learn
the cause OF the sudden stoppage the
passengers were treated to novel
SIGHT. The fireman witha long poker
and the engineer with link were
making frantic efforts TO kill large
snake. When the task was COM
plcted, the fireman coolly remarked to
his companion: John, here is where
We killed that one yesterday. -

A near kinsman of the Gar, who
visits Russia frequently, and who is
we'll known for his frankness rs well
as fairness. told me few months ago
that many OF the things done by the
alleged order of the Gar were repug-
nant to that rulers feelings. The
princes conversation might be sum
married in this way:
alexander has no idea OF doing
wrong to anyone. His heart is full
Of kindness. He is happy only when
surrounded by his family circle.
at is true that the foulest malad-
ministration and persecution are go
ing on all about him; but he, poor
fellow, is incapable Of seeing them.
He hears only the reports OF minis
tiers, who know that he does not like
to be worried.
1.-The poor man is so burdened with
fat that he can scarcely do any
work; his temperament is sluggish:
he lacks intelligence; when he signs
papers he has no idea that he is doing
more than an exercise In penman-
ship.
He is physically and mentally ill.,
capable of supervising any depart
ment OF the government-not even
the military; and as consequence
the country Is left entirely to officials,
who divide up power among them
selves, and do what they can to re-
main in office"
only quote enough OF this princes
remarks to explain how it is that
abuses continue in country nom-
inally governed by mild, peace
loving Gar, for it opens a terrible
vista Of what might be were he dis
posed to be personally cruel. 1t
makes one shudder to think of the
day when the present czarowitz shall
mount the throne. -Harper's Maya
zine.

LOG CABIN TOAST.

A touch of fancy, or an unusual
daiutiuess in serving, will often rouse a
child's tagging appetite, writes Mary
Maxwell. have found tdst though the
children in our family are not intereste l
in a plate of plain toasted slices CT
bread, they are always on the qui vivs
when a "log cabin is brought to the
table; and this is an especially dainty
way of serving dry toast, whether one
wishes to eat it from the gers or to
crumb it into bowl of milk.
With sharp knife, from firm,
somewhat stale loaf, cut slices lenytn-
wise-that is, the long way of the loaf.
Trim off all crusts. Now cut, also
lengthwisc, the slices into narrow strips
an inch wide. Toast these straws
golden brown and then butter them -
unless they are to be broken into milk
or dipped in cream ss eaten. Pile criss-
cross on hot plate, log cabin fashion,
four-square. Serve hot.-Chicago News

A Gallant American.

We recently published an account
OF the presentation in Bombay of a
medal to Lieut. Huddleston. of the In.
dian marine, says the London Globe,
for ''the bravest deed OF year, and
have since received particulars OF an
equally gallant attempt to save life
made by the American champion
long distance swimmer.
In the winter the steamship Tan.
gier. OF Philadelphia, had an event
full voyage from Santiago de Cuba.
and sad accident occurred while the
vessel lay at Fit. de France, Martini
que. The second engineer, J. McFar.
land. well-known In Philadelphia,
went into the water to battle, and,
being seized with cramps. gave q
shrek and disappeared.
AS there were several sharks in the
vicinity, everybody hesitated before
going to his rescue, but J. b. John
ston, the champion long-distanct
swimmer, of Philadelphia. one Of the
crew of the Tangier, jumped over
board, fully dressed. and for an houl
continued to dive for the body,
He finally rescued il, after de-
perate conflict with two Of the man
eaters, in which he had to use his
sheath knife to ward off their Zero
cious attacks. Both Johnston ano
the drowned man were bitten in sew
cral places. Mcfarland was greatly
respected by his shipmates, and was
buried with full naval honors, the
French authorities of Martinique
sending forty officers and six sailors
In full uniform, to attend the fun

wreaths from the American and
british residents.

Many families of small meaus look
upon celery as luxury. The gresnish
half blanched stalks of the cheap bunch
really are not very good eating, and the
fne, white, large crisp bunch costs too
much for the workiugman's everyday
dinner. But there is an economical vas
of treating the large bunch of best
celery which makes it cheap. Use the
finer portions of the crisp stalks as q
relish. All the tough portions, and the
root carefully cleaned, are to be cut fne,
covered with cold water snd cooked
slowly till nearly the whole can be
rubbed through strainer. Half an
hour before dinner heat this liquid celery
with al equal qusntIty of any kind OF
meat broth you happen to have in the
house, aud then add one pint OF ho.
milk thickenei like a white sauce, with
two tablespoontuls each of butter and
-four cooked together. Season With salt.
If you have no broth after your soup il
in the tureen stir into il slowly aud
smoothly the well beaten yolk of an
egg, and you will not miss at all tho
richness of the matthew York Press.

The Worlds Fair buildings at Chicago

newspapers are top-heavy with articles

mainly OF iron, but besides another

One of the most significant evidences
Of the settlement OF the West and South
is to be found In the rapidly decreasing
percentage OF boots and shoes In the
manufactures both OF the East and
West. Twelve or fifteen years ago
there were quite number OF houses in
the East which made boots exclusively,
but their number is rapidly diminishing,
and almost every month one hears OF
the output Of the high boot being either
closed altogether or greatly curtailed to
make more space for the manufacture
of the low-cut shoe or the regulation
Congress or other makes Of modern
footwear. in the old days. when farm
ing was farming, and when high boots
were worn as protection against the
bites OF rattlesnakes, the demand from
the West and South was wholly, or in
great part, for boots. but now II IL not
at all unusual when on q trip through
the Western States TO get orders for
shoes exclusively. and TO have the re-
iler complain OF the very slow sale Of
the very grade OF boots he used TO bank
on almost entirely. The fashions seem
to change little slower in the
South, but even there the demand for
high or top boots is getting less and less
every Journey.
