4 Baby Rescued Afttl II iEuI nton Carried
Two Miles by ia Captor,

Two Miles BY IA cnptor,
Last Saturday q lig Wolf which has
terrOrized the people Of the Bumpas cave
region. in North Carolina, for the last
two or three years entered the cabin of
q mountaineer named Brown during the
momentary absence Of the housewife,
and, BeiziHg the only occupant, un infant
6 months old, by the clothing In the re-
3iya Of the chest, lifted it from the rude
cradle and bore it away into the noun
tains. When the mother returned to the
house aud missed the baby, she rushed to
the door just in time TO see the wolf aud
its precious burden disappear into the
neighboring woods
The distracted woman began to oseream,
This brought thehusband, who was chop
ping wood not far away, to the scene In
high state Of excitement. The story
from the lips Of the hysterical mother al
most drove the brave fellow daft, but he
seized his ak, called his dog and started
in hot pursuit, There were about two
inches OF snow on the ground, and itproy-
identiaIIy enabled the desperate father
Of the kidnapped infant to strike the trail
of the wolf Immediately after leaving
his dnoryard. Once upon the track OF
the beast, he rushed through the noun
tains with speed born Of distraction
expecting every moment to come upon
tho old assassin licking his chops red
| with the warm blood of his victim.
About two miles from his cabin the
tracks of the wolf led the puTsuer under
a long shelf Of rock protruding from tho
side of mountain. There was no snow
here, and the father lost the trail, but he
now urged his dog, which mp to this
time he had compelled to remain with
him The dog took the lead, and the
man followed, fully expecting TO find the
| entrance to the VOLTS den, from which
he could hardly hope to get the baby
nliye. But his fears were grOundlGss,
He soon came upon his faithful dog wag-
ging his tail and looking down at little
white bundle at his feet, 1t was the
baby, sound asleep and most frozen, ap-
parently unhuTt otherwise,
Brown took off his coat, and wrapping
the infant snugly in 1t started hastily foE
home, He soon met his wife and two OF
three of the neighbors to whom she had
given the alarm. Itwas most remarkG'
bic rescue. The mountaineers say that
it was only freak of the ''mad" wolf
but the little one no doubt owes its life
to II drenching of petroleum given it fol
some cutuneous affection by Its mother
Just before it was carried away, Tht
odor of the oil was too much for hi
wolfship. He probably shifted abouI

Turkish wedding,

An artistic mistress of the ceremonies,
being congratulated on tho success with
which sho had managed the details Of
an English wedding, remarked impa-
tiently that there had been one blot on
the scene-znamely, the bridegroom.
She only wished it could have been ar
ranged for him and his black coat to re-
main outside in tho hrougham till the
thing was over,
Had sho received an Invitation to q
Turkish wedding, as once by good luck
did a party of English ladies, among
whom was the writer Of the present
sketch, her wish might have been graft
fed, as it is quite possible to attend
such function without even catching a
passing glimpse of the crimson fez OF
the husband elect

bridal day in getting married to him
self-that is, he visits the priest and
the notary takes out and signs his mar,
riage contract, attends religious serv'
iee at tho mosque, partakes OF a sump'
tuous breakfast with his friends, and as
the coromonies cover u considerable por'

Ono Of the difficulties IN the cultiva-
tinn Of plants in q sitting room Is that
the dry air and dust tend to clog the
pores Of the leaves Deprived Of the
rain which would naturally cleanse
them and not often wstered with 0 rose
pot or syringe, the plants kept in . room
are apt gradually to lose their health
and look miserable, il they do not alto
gether die. The best remedy for this is
the regular uso Of a small piece Of soft
old sponge with slightly warm water,
and il little soft soap Is added all the
better, Especially Is this necessary in
the winter when dust is rife, and as
'blight" is then at its weakest point o
thorough cleansing during the cold
months will result in freedom from 1t
during the summer. Practice and deli
cate handling ar0 needed for success,
Some plants aro much easier to sponge
than others, Among these may he men
toned the india rubber plant, and also
small specimens Of palms, both ofwhieh
need frequent washings when grown IN
a room. Orange trees and many other
plants exudo q kind Of sticky essential
oil, which catches the dust, They there
foro require special attention. Aspidis'
tras and many other plants need spnng
ing often 10 keep them in health---tI
fact, all plants with evergreen foliagf
and others which viii bear II arr

use Of tho sponge. --Gleyaland Leader,

There is an old soldier named Jake
recently returned to San Francisco frofn
an Arctic craise who has made up this
mind not 10 70 on another whaling exs
pedition no matter what happens The
reason Is this: On one occasion during
his late voyage Jake was on the watch
in the lookout cradle al the masthead
and II was night-ythat II, al much
night "a II ever gets mp there ia SUM
mer The sun had been down about an
hour and would rise again about an
hour later
II was a beautiful sight as the Rhip
lay there In the ice, and the air seemed
sctntillating with phosphorescent glow
that penetrated everywhere and made
no shadows On all sides tho pack loo
lay close to the vessel and reached for
miles in every direction broken occa-
sional1y BY 4 large berg On the faint out
lines Of another ship The silence was
profound II seemed to produce Q roar
ing sound like tho wares Of distant
ocean Such surroundings will put q
person In semicomatese state, from
which the slightest sound will awaken
him with start
Jake suddenly saw something white
in tho gloom climbing the mast His
first impulse was to jump to the deck
but before he could act upon it tho
white object climbed through the lubber
hole, aud Jako then saw it was a polar
bear Jt,lSe realized that he was in q
most dangerous position and began to
think of means to escape He called to
the watch on deck below, but they
couldn't hear He tried to get out un-
dor tho canvas, but the heAst grabbed
him and pulled him back II began
thunping him, and every time Jake att
tempted to move away II would growl
Suddenly his eyes lighted ON a, rope
hanging TO the deck just back Of the
| cradle By this means he Thought he
could reach the deck. Foswing himself
free was but the work Of an instant,
| but the bear lnade q jump and caught
hold Of his foot But q few vigorous
kicks freed him, and then began new
terror, Perhaps the rope was not strong
and would break, or no might miss the
stay and swing against the mast and be
dashed to DEATH
The moment in the air seemed years
filled with horror and several times
jake wished he had taken his chances
with the bear, 10 grab the stay aud
hold on wps the most difficult, and
twice Jake's hands Slipped and almost
lost IT,
yyben ha raarhea tha dacle ha looked
up and saw the rope swing back to the

Saving the Drops Of water That Washe
the Priest Who Died RecGntly,

Saving the Drops Of WntcF That Washed
the Priest Who Died Reecntly,
The latest event In the religious world
Is the death, funeral and cremation OF
the chiefest priest Of the largest and
most powerful Buddhist sect in Japan.
The funeral was attended by many tens
of thousands of people from all over
Japan. The person Of this priest is SO
very sacred, and anything that has come
In contact with it 50 very precious in its
merit and powerful in its efficacy to save,
that every drop Of the water that was
used in washing the body after death
was eagerly sought for and gratefully re-
ceiyed by the priests and laymen alike.
Little bamboo joints were used as
yials in which to receive and carry away
the precious fluid. This water will be
used as drops Of saving elixir when the
body of come believer Is washed for its
burial-as a few drops Of the altar Of
roses might be used in bath-and the
one receiving this washing will be insur-
ed a safe and happy entrance into the
Buddhist paradise.
Sad, sad, unspeakably sad, and yet
millions Of these people believe this to
be neutrality-suspicious. Independent.

In paper read before the London
Chemical society BY q II Walker on
the action Of nitric acid on tin, some OF
the prevalent ideas on that subject are
shown to be singulariy erroneous
Among these is the general supposition
that metallic tin dissolyes In nitric acid
with the production Of both stRnnous
and stanRio salt, according 70 the condi-
tions of temperature and concentration
of the acid, In these later experiments
--made to determine tho amounts of
stanpous salts formed under various con-
ditions Of temperature, concentration of
acid and mass Of tin treated--itis is shown
that with dilute acids the increase Of
temperature has but little effect, but
with more concentrated acids the effect
Is more marked, for the alteration Of q
few mere degrees will reduce the amount
of stannous salt TO nothing, while i'm
crease Df concentration, other things be-
ing equal, decreases the proportion Of
stannous salt. II is found that the yel-
lowish white substance formed from con-
centrated solutions Is hydrated stanniu
