TO SAVE MONEY

When you need Surveying, get the
best Surveyor the country affords.
When you intrust your surveying to
a man, you lntrust the counting of
your cash to his care-if he is in
competent to do the work correctly,
you loose your property through his
failure to correctly compute it for
you.
| offer my services to the public,
embracing an experience of EIGH-
TEEN YEARS as SURVEYOR and
guarantee the best possible results
under all conditions, and in consid-
erntion of the financial stringency,
reduce my fee to $500 per day, in
stead of $500 as heretofore, when
paid cash. Will survey in any Sec

The artist disappeartl among the rocks to the right and the p,s't among the brush to the left. and for tiu S,rrnds We were left facing old Ephriam with dim consciousness that something was abuut to happen.
 For the benefit of such of our rcadcrs as haven't studied natural history, we will state that the grizzly bear Is an animal about the size of Queen Anne cottage and appears to have n Vcranda built all around him to improve his style Uf archi- tccturc. He differs from an elephant in having teeth about n tOOt long, and no one hearing his claws rattling on the rOCks could mistake him for a buffalo bull Way back. bcfUrc Christopher Columbus discUv- cred America, something happened to make thu grizzly boar mad nt all mankind, and this fcoling has descended down to tho latest edition.

At sousc stage of the game he may have run across an Arizona editor who had failed in busins.ss and committed suicide, but we don't believe he had ever seen live one before. He had counted on n surc thing and got left, and for some minutes his chagrin was plainly apparent. We sup posed, as a matter of course, that after realizing the situation tho crittcr would start off with an ambition to pick up the artist or the poet, but he wanted editorial meat and was willing to wait for it. It was 10 o'clock in the morning when he trced us We wcrc thero at high noon, at sundown, at daybreak next morning. The bear staid right by us, and we staid right by the bear.

FANCY WORK NOVELTIES.
In Which Grape Baskets and old Japanese
 Fans Consplcnously Figure.

Fans Conspicuously Figure.
 Do not throw away the grape baskets, but transform them into pretty home made workbaskets. These little baskets can be made with very little work and at a slight expense.
 Select one that is smooth and paint it with several coats of white enamel and then make pad to it the bottom of the basket. This is made by piece of card board, with a layer of cotton wool A little sachet powder is an improvement if mixed among the wool. Then cut Q piece of silk, to whatever your lining is, the size of the bottom and a strip of the same, a little deeper than the sides of the basket and long enough to reach three times around it. Turn the top of this piece down about half an inch and gather it until it fits the top of the basket. Gather the lower edge without turning it down and sew it to the square of silk already mentioned, placing the whole inside the basket for a lining Before putting the lining in place run a pink ribbon, 2 or inches wide. around the basket and tie it in a bow at one side.
 Inside the basket place a tiny bag oi silk for thimble and thread. fastening il at one side. and opposite this plsot lit- tie 'mealbag" cushion of pink silk. fringed at the top and tied with baby ribbon. This is for needles. Emery and wax may be tied in one corner if desired
 Those who wish to utilize old Japa- nese fans can make with them pretty holders for clusters, says The House wife. authority for the foregoing. Tc make the holder you will need besides the fan three yards of ribbon with a fancy edge. Remove the rivet which fastens the sticks together. also one of the end or handle sticks. Paste the two sides of the fan together with a little gum, tapping the one from which the stick Is removed upon the other. Fasten together the long ends of the sticks with a fine wire. From some heavy white pa per cut and paste a funnel shaped piece which will fit nicely inside the fan A drop of gum at the points where the gum touches the paper inside will keeT the whole firmly together. Weave the ribbon, which should be about half an inch wide. in and out through the sticks, finishing with a bow at the point Make full bow and tack upon one side of the fan. leaving enough for 6 loop by which to hang it.

Musical Items.

A late invention is an aluminium fin ger board frctted, lettered and bearing position numbers It is designed to aid students of the violin in acquiring ac- curate lingering.
 Do not let pupils keep up a clicking of nails on the piano keys. Keep the nails short. but give scales and easy studies for the express purpose of feeling the contact of the finger with its key on the ball or tip of the finger somewhat back from the nail Make a speciality of feeling the place of finger contact, play ing only for this feeling.
 Scales can be taught the latter part of the first term of lessons to the aver age pupil, but there needs to be prepara- tion for them in q separate drill of the thumb in passing under the hand and of the third and fourth fingers in pass ing over the thumb It is also we'll that the pupil should first feel q need of knowing how to play run
 4 girl who can learn to play the pi- ano can ordinarily learn to play the flute, and if she is delicate in the sense of not having good vital capacity or breathing power flute practice in mod cration will do her more good and less harm than piano practice. The breath ing exercises of any gymnastic system arc 10 Dc recommended as preparatory to flute study. and any reliable music dealer oan furnish good instruction book for the instrument
 It Is excellent discipline to practice technical finger work in such positions as require the thumb to play black keys. but in playing everything should be done in the easiest possible manner. The pushing of the forearm forward and backward. as is necessary to get the thumb over the black keys, Is an e<er- ton and should be avoided unless some thing is gained that is of commensurate value. When such gain is possible. nc rule. by whomsoever made. should ever be allowed to stand in the way of the exertion

If you don't believe that insurance agents are artists, read the following:
 A Camden agent tackled friend for a $5, 900 policy. the beauties of which he dwelt upon with n persistency which charmed the victim. The agent talked and charmed and talked and charmed until he had quite won him over.

 A year later was in Nashville. The legislature was in session. One evening in a street car heard two country rep resentatives talking. "Oh, yes," said one of them, "old Bob is full of revenge. You remember that a newspaper roasted him for something during the last ses- sion Well, sir, I'll tell you what he did The paper failed, you know, and one of the fellers that had been con nected with it went out on a stroll, and he strolled down into old BOb's neigh borhood The fellow didn't know Bob, but Bob knew him and saw him passing by and put up job on him. And luck came his way, for the fellow went into barn, and just then the barn was struck by lightning. forget how they worked it, but they arrested the fellow. who was considerable of n greenhorn, by tho way, and carried him through some sort of a trial and pretended that | they were going to make him marry q woman, but she wasn't a woman, but a man that had been fixed up for the oc- casion.

 About midnight a large and well kept mountain lion discovered our situation and came down on us with many pleasant anticipations and we almost felt sorry for him when he made out the true state of affairs. The grizzly selfishly refused to whack up on the find, and after squan- dering an hour of his valuable time the lion went of toward camp to sec if he couldn't pick up something good on his own account. We couldn't go to the gen. tlemen in camp, and they searched in tho wrong direction to locate us After we had been psrchcd in the tree 26 hours, most of the time looking the bear full in tho face, wo began to notice O change of expression.
