FOur Big Silver Tips.

While John Chapman was hers from
his Wyoming ranch this week he told of
a thrilling experience his wife had Ie-
Gently with four siIver-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 kitch.
en- door, intending to places pan of milk
in an clubhouse. She had just closed
the door OF the kitchen when, looking
up, she was confronted by four bears,
al upon their launches and within }
few feet of her.
She screamed and rushed into the house
aud told the hired man the cause of her
fright and assisted in finding the car
tridges for a rifle 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 one
aud two of the cubs.
When Mr.. Chapman arrived he found
his wife in an alarming condition, her
nerves being at such tension that ne feared
that she would go into Mysteries That
night she complained 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, stand
ing out in the cold.
The cub lit out for the brush when he
heard John coming, but in the morning
the dogs were turned loose on the trail
aud young bruiu was gathered in to
complete the family. The cubs were
fully half grown silver-tips and averaged
over 1S0 pounds each. The she bear
was big one-as large as cow.-Bil-
ings (Montapal Gazette.

Somebody Always Late.

Perhaps it will be little consolation to
The political candidate who has been
beaten by few votes to reflect that
there IS always somebody who is just a
tribe too late. 1t is certainly interesting
IL not instructive to the other fellows
Yet it is an incident of every minute in
The metropolis, where life is a daily and
nomentary scramble.
You see it illustrated more or less
humorously every time you take an ele-
vated train, every time ferryboat leaves
its slip, every time q limited express or
any other train pulls out of a station,
every time an ocean steamer leaves her
pier. There is always somebody rushing
up and down at the last moment, franti-
sally waving hands or yelling, just IN
tiu,o to be left behind. Ask the scorn!
Iul but vigilant officials.
Scarcely an elevated train leaves q
platform but one or more persons, male,
Or female, dash up the stairs and fly past
the ticket window, and at the risk Of
life or limb attempt to board it. And
how ludicrously angry and disappointed
they lookl Another train is within
night, due in ono or two minutes; but
that doesn't alter the matter-it aggra-
Yates 1t. Just as your ferryboat leaves
.he slip there is always somebody who
runs the gantlet of the main gates, comes
tearing down the driveway, with or
without a ticket, and, with a wild
whoop, tries to leap the rapidly yawning
gulf between the bridge and the deck.
There is another boat in five or ten min
utes, but what OF thatl The bitterness
Of being too late warrants the risk.
An express train slowly pulls out to
the sound of the gong. Immediately
from various quarters, as if they popped
put of the earth, some people, with
wildly swinging grips and parcels in
hand, rush at breaSnec& speed along the
planking to get on board, and are left
painting and shouting and swearing
just too late. Rarely an ocean steamer,
booked for days TO leave at a certain hour,
begins to churn the salt water into foam,
but a cab or carriage, bearing steamer
trunk and displaying dishevelled head
St the open window, comes rattling down
Upon the crowded pier-just too late.
The compsay has the passage money, the
name is on the printed passenger list,
but the berth is empty this trip. Hardly
a ship leaves port but somebody is left By
\ hairs breadth.
1t seems odd, doesn't it2 But it is
nevertheless true. This great business
world stops for nobody. A man must
get up aud come dovn Oh time or get
eft. AMI there is always somebody get
ling left.-New York Herald.

Making Gun Cotton.

The torpedo station at Newport, r. l.,
S hard at WORK, under the direction of
Professor Charles E. Monroe, manufac-
turing gun cotton for the United States
Navy. The Government prefers this ex,
plosive to nitro-giycerine, dynamite and
Explosive gelatine. Gun cotton is made
by immersing dry cotton in a mixture Of
llree parts of sulphurIc acid and one
par5 OF concentrated nitric acid FOR
Yenty-four hours, when it is removed.
Tle acid is then pressed out, and the
lnass converted into pulp, just as rags
are for making paper, and the pulp is
thoroughly washed, and then may be
pressed and nodded into any shape de-
tired by means OF a hydraulic press.
Early experiments in the use of gun
cotton were dlscouraging from the fact
that it exploded without apparent cause,
but later investigation demonstrated that
this danger was due to the fact that the
acid used in the manufacture was not en-
irely squeezed out, aud resort to the
pulp, making process succeeded in elImi-
mating the last traces of it. As prepared
for the United States service torpedo,
the gun cotton is pressed into cylindrical
discs three and one-half inches in diane
ter and two inches in thickness. The
centre is priced for the insertion OF the
lIercury illuminate detonator. The gun
otton is wet for safety when put into
/ lie torpedo-cases, and in this state can
De even careiessly handled. 1t is said to
be safer than gunpowdtr. Not even fire
sxplodes it as long as the cotton remains
vet. The Newport factory turns out
5000 pounds of the stuff at time, but
the process of making it appears to be
father slow. An order for 20, 900 pounds

TaE BRIGHTER DAY.

When the dreary weather, cold anl wet
Produces ''biue IS" ahi melancholy,
Look back Ger life and don't forget
That most Of it was bright and jolly.
There never was day Of rain
But sunshine followed soon thereafter
And gloomy mood and aching PAIN
Gave way to health AMI merry Laughter.
The bells o; time
VIII ring their chime
0l mingled joy ami sorrow,
Yet the refrain
In hopeful strain
SPEAKS sweetly for to morrow.
When clouds Of darkness hang their pail
Before the future you're exploring,
With patience wait for them to fall.
In faith their threatening look ignoring
Their silver lining" soon will show
As fortunes breez2s blow them over,
And just beyond a rosy glow
WnlIight your pathway through the clover
The ringing bells
Have told their knells
And now proclaim with pleasure
sunny day
That's come to stay,
Filled high with precious treasure.

A Pantomime Death Sentence.

"Once upon time," says George R.
8. Hayes, "there was a judge named
Redman, who presided over a big terri
tory which kept him racing from Santa
Cruz to Salinas and San Luis Obispo.
The Spanish population was the chief
race to be found in that district, and
Redman knew but two words in the lam
guage, which were No Tiende,' and was
put to the necessity of employing court
interpreter, who attended him in his
rapid tour Of the big circuit.
1t happened that murderer was to be
sentenced in Monterey and that an i'm
away, on the same day. Redmsn's in
terpreter had gone off to a fandango in
the wilds somewhere and couldn't be
iound when court was opened and Red
nan was in fury of impatience. At
ast, when he could endure the delay no
l,nger, he said to the man below in the
dock:
prisoner at the bar-Stand up!'
"No tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidity.
"You don't savey, doyoul' exclaimed
The judge sharply; "well, do you under
stand this7" and he proceeded to gesticu-
late vigorously with his hands, aud indi-
cate the motion of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffly in his seat.

Now, do you savey thati'
The poor prisoner shook his head in q
bewildered fashion, and could only cry,
mo tiende, no tiende."
"Is there ANYBODY present in this
court who can Translate that awful SEN
tence to this prisoaerY" demanded the
Judge of the half dozen of officials and
spectators in the room. They were all
in the same boat as the prisoner and
could only shake their heads mournful-
ly:
"Well," exclaimed the Judge, brighs
thought striking him, "I'n just show
you then this wayl" whereupon he un-
feeled yard of red tape that lay on the
desk, and twisting it hurriedly about his
own neck held the two ends high over
his left ear, at the same time rubbing
his eyes and wagging his tongue down
against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the court
room. They understood the grim judi
cial kindergarten completely. - Sar

Quickest Bridge Baildiny on Record.

The quickest bridge building on re-
cord was done BY an engineer named
Dredge, who, in eight days, put an iron
span across the Blackwater, in Tyrone
County, Ireland. 1t was seventy -four
feet in length. Dre1ge died before the
popular agitation was begun in PhiIa-
Gelphia, Penn, for modern bridge
across the schuylkill at Walnut street.
That project was discussed for quarter
Of 3 century. The ScLuylkill st this
point is deeper than the Bronx and near
jy as deep as Harlem River.-NeY Or
