there was rendinR, crashing sound of the
ice Bill remembers giving yell and
hearing an answering howl from Dave. who
rushed out over the trembling surface. The
next instant the man went down in a mass
OF broken ice. A piece OF ice struck him on
the head, rendering him powerless to help
himself although he retained enough con-
sciOusness to remember the points of this
story. Dave, he said, was coming toward
him in great bounds.
Help. Davei Come in, boyP' cried Bill
from among the floating ice.

soft color Of the city is its perfect content
with Itself. No beggars, no deiormities, no
mutllated folk sitting on the curbstones
grinding out mutilated music, nothing at all
put gayety, pleasure and extreme polite
ness. This politeness is native TO the
Partisan, but it is often overdone and be-
comes an oppressive nuisance on the part Of
a good many Americans abroad. 1t is to
the genuine French polteness as brass Is to

pitied or laughed at by both genuine French
and genuine Saxons.
The walks and drives are clean, comfort

there Is nothing at all to adore. The gen.

A Cats Trip.

A good cat story comes from Bombay. In
August Liverpool resident proceeding to
Bombay took out with him a cat, which he
intended to present to a friend In India.
Some DAYS after the arrival of tie steamer
in Bombay pussy was missed, and though
she was searched for high and low she was
nowhere to be found. Her owner had
quite gwen her up for lost when
he received intelligence from England
that the cat had made her appearance at
her old Liverpool home on October 25 as
calm and collected as though trip to
India and back was quite in the ordinary
course of her life. The facts are vouched
for by a Bombay paper, and there
tial accuracy; but it is not made
clear whether the cat was rot slowed
away In the steamer in which she went out
10 India and carried back in the ordinary
course. Under any circumstances her ad-
venture are, however, sufficiently remark
aUIe to deserve credit.

RUSSIAN BEAR DOGS.
They Are Very Savage and Fight on
Slight Provocation.

Alongside ran our small pack of bear
dogs, breed peculiar in this district, but
much resembling the Eskimo dog in gen.
eral appearance. with powerful frame COW
cred with a long wavy coat and set on
short legs with broad feet, short, thick
neck, broad head, with a short. sharp
pointed nose, small erect ears, bright, in
teltgent eyes, and a magnificent bushy tail
curling over the back like squirrels.
They are very savage and spend most of
their leisure time in getting up fights among
themselves; nearly every one of our small
pack showed by hanging ear or a gashed
lip that he had not been made free Of the
guild without paying his footing.
In bear hunting these dogs are invaluable
their keen scent enables them to detect his
berloga. or winter lair, at a considerable
distance and through all but the deepest

that tney have come up with the bear, and
you rush up to obtain an easy shot as he

The dogs are very active in avoiding the
fierce blows which the bear aims at them,
and soon learn the wisdom of attacking
him in the rear, so that, though every now

ugly cash from the bears claws, after sit

himself DR.. Akin of the Second United
