GRIZZLY BEARS AS FRIENDS.
The Ignorant Essayist Gets to Know a Few
 Things About Western Life.

Things ADOug W eSteFn
 An artist friend of mine for several years had a studio in Boston. He had an- other friend who lived somewhere in the Rocky mountains when at home.
 This western man walked across the continent every year and passed several months in the lumber regions of Canada, where he made enough money by cutting down trees to support himself during the leisure months. About the samo time every year he walked into my friends stu dio made some comment on the progress of art in the city, criticised new buildings or monuments had cup of tea, chatted and smoked for an hour and then quietly said "goodby" without shaking hands as he started out for his constitutional walk to the Rockies.
 This man was an Englishman A giant In height and girth, with the soft low, gentle voice of one accustomed to live in solitude, he had seen much of tho world and had taken an active part in great Flu ropean events. He wore a wide leafcd white hat, blue shirt and his trousers were slowed partly away in his big boots He was well educated and had the wise and true thing to say upon any subject that came up. But he spoke little
 "Why on earth do you live in the Rock iesY" said tho artist.
 Just because I like it. 1 have to keep away from civilization if I am to live at all It is ruinlng everything. The only intelligence that can find in London or Boston is the machinery. All the men have become helpless. Everything is done for you. You will soon forget how to walk, Your legs will drop off as useless, and you'll be shot down the streets through pneumatic tubes. Then your hands, ears, eyes and noses will go in the same fashion, and there'll be nothing left but mouth and wind. You will then be completely civilized and fit for transla- tion.'
 Well" said the Boston man, "that's comforting. But look here. Tell mo how you live when you re to hum. Do you condescend to dwell in house made with hands?''
 With my own hands. I have log hut on the side of mountain, tho mountain being the principal part of the hut don't sec human being for months at a time and don't want to see one"
 'Do you over como across grizzly"
 "Almost every day"
 You take an occasional shot, pre- sume."
 ''Shoot grizzly I'd as soon think of shooting Q baby. Why, they're the only friends have We are on terms of inti- mate acquaintance. I don't harm them, and they don't harm me. The beasts I would like to shoot are the fellows calling themselves sportsmen who come out to disturb the tranquil, amiable temper of my bear friends. Come out some time and sec for yourself. You'll find more true religion among grizzly bears than among any so called Christians of your cities Goodby. ."-Donahoe' Magazine.

Chemical Perfumery.

Chemistry seems to furnish substi- tutes for the expensive perfumes now made from flowers. It has long been known that the exact odor of the ban ana is produced in the laboratory. There seems possibility, however, that even when some fragrant plants cease to be cultivated for the perfumes many may become of importance in surgery. It has been discovered that some such plants are free from the att Jacks of insects and from fungous growths and this may be due to the fact that their essential oils have anti septic properties. The eucalyptus yields an antiseptic, ard so do other familiar plants.

FRtGHTFUL DEATH OF GUARD AT THE
 HANDS OF MOB.
 CHICAGO, July 6.-S. K. Ritche, spe- ciaI policeman employed by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago road, was stoned to death by a mob this afternoon at the Fifty second street crossing of that road. Ritchie, who was also deputy sheriff, caught some boys overturning a switch shanty and compelled them to set it up- right again. While be was talking to the boys mob approached and attempted to burn the shanty.
 Ritchie drew his revolver and threatened to kill the first man who approached the shanty. The mob kept surging around him, but he held it off until his revolver was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking him on the foot. lie was easy prey for the mob then, and they quickly had him down. They stood around his body and literally stoned him to death. His head was pounded almost to pieces. The mob finally went away, leaving him for dead, but he was still alive when the police arrived. He was taken to the hospital, but died in a short time. No arrests were made.

The Tail of the Comet.

It is one of the most wonderful of all the phenomena that confront us in the study of nature that the tail of the comet, visible through such a vast area of space, is ono of the most transparent of objects. The tail of the comet is much more trans parent than the earth s atmosphere, as this at it's best would in bulk act as an opaque curtain But stars are seen almost as distinctly through the comets tail as through the adjacent atmosphere. Com cts change their form and appearance with the utmost rapidity and finally back steadily away from the sun, like court fer out of the royal presence. e.-New York edgpr
