The hunt was nearly over. AS the
guest of Col. Drake, Stone was allowed
to take the first shot. For few min
utes he stood and watched the cpouch-
ing bear. Then he raised his rifle,
the bear in the jaw, which was broken.
The bleeding flesh was torn, but the
great animal simply drew his paw
over the wound. He beganto descend
the tree to fight his pursuers- With
remarkable cunnings~-he tried to de-
scend on the side opposite to thatfrom
which the shot had come. Stone dis
mounted and ran around the tree un-
til the bear was again in full view.
Again the hunter fired and the hip
bone of the hunted animal was broken.
The enraged beast rushed up the tree
to escape. The dogs became unman-
ngeable. Their cries could have been
heard for miles. They would rush
away from the tree, then dash toward
it and go up the perpendicular sides
for ten feet. only to fall in a heap on
the ground. lfe1s1 ,i'Ia
The bear had again taken its place on
the limb, and once more Stone fired.
The ball passed through the animals
body. The bear left its perch and
cluug with all its paws to the tree. It
was sixty feet above the ground.
Quickly the final shot was fired. The
bear clutched convulsively at the tree.
Its claws sunk into the bark, and for
ten seconds it remained. Then it fell
backward. dead. It's body crashed to
the ground. The houn DIS pounced upon
it savagely, but were driven off. The
hunt was over. iitt f}fct
The great animal was strapped to q
packhorse and taken slowly into camp.
1t was brown bear, weighing three
hundred and fifty pounds. Its feet
measured S tx inches in width and ten
inches in length.
The next day Col. Drake was on the
hunt alone. Early in the morning the
dogs struck trail The bear was run
three-quarters of a mile, when the
dogs surrounded him on the ground.
The animal was fierce and fought saw
agely. Drake fred his first shot, but
aimed too low and simply broke the
bears lower jaw. He kept fighting as he
moved. The shot had simply angered
him, and the dogs were tossed about
as if they weighed nothing ga
The bear looked up from his tor
mentors and saw Drake on the side of
the hill below him. The animal rushed
for the hunter, who was afraid to fire,
as he might kill his dogs. Drake ran

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder IN Strength and
Value 30 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitors.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class

hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions Of former years, at the
CENTENNIAL AFFAIRS, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
1t has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors. -
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex'
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts Of
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests Of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 16o
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of copper cent. greater leaven-

of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however. in the
quality Of food it makes as to fneness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-

to a tree further down the hill, hoping
to secure a position from which he
could fire as the bear passed. The dogs
stopped the bear twenty feet from the
tree, however. and Drake was COM
PEELED to fire again. He did SO, and the
great animal rolled into the canyon.
AS he rolled Drake kept firing.
The dogs were getting much the
worst of the fight. Three OF them
were under the bear. and at any mo-
ment it seemed as if some of them
would be killed. Drake had used all
his cartridges, but he drew his knife
and rushed in to save his dogs. The
bear could bite. and the dogs kept him
busy protecting himself from their at
tacks. Drake succeeded in burying
his knife twice in the great breast, and
the fight was over. The bear literally
beloved, and the hunter sat down un-
til the animal died. Drake has had
many exciting experiences. In peri
cd of six weeks he killed twenty-five
bears and FIVE. lions. taCttUsIa II
On the following day he and Stone
a cub were caught and killed. During
the trip fifteen deer were shot, and
for those who are interested in such
hunting it may be said that from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred big
bucks were seen in droves of from three
to six. Two fawns were taken alive,
and are now at Mr.. Stones home in this
city. He carried them both over ten
miles.

JAPANESE DEVICES.


Clever and Ingenious Articles OF Useful
The Japanese have mode of prepar-
ing stencils which is better than ours,
in that it admits of great deal OF
open cutting. In our method compli-
Gated figures must be di vided by broad
lines of paper in order to glue the
paper together and make the stencil
strong enough for use, and these bands
of paper leave blanks in the design,
which must often be filed in by hand.
The Japanese leave no UGH bands in
their stencils. They cut their stencils
out of two or sometimes three thick
nesses of thin but tough paper; then
between each two of these sheets they
lay, crossing one another in all direc-
lions, human hairs or fibers Of raw silk.
These are especially laid across the
open parts of the design, and when the
several layers of the stencil are glued
together they serve the same purpose
as the bands of paper left by our stem.
ell cutters, but they form no obstacle
to the application of the color, and
leave no blanks in the design.
The same clever workers use rice
paste, applied with the brush or with
stencils, for stopping out" in dyeing
or in painting with dyes. When the
color is fixed the rice paste can be
washed away. They also. obtain the
opposite effect on silks of European OF
American manufacture. Having found
that these often fade quickly, they ex-
ecute design on them in rice paste,
then treat them with chloride Of lime
until they are bleached. The rice paste
is then washed away, leaving the design
in the original color. Art Amateur

BLASTING cELATINE.


How the Terrible Explosive Is Prepared
e and Handled. itttts
BY far the most important as well as
the latest form of dynamite or solidi-
fed nitro-glycerine are those desig-
mated not too happily as blasting gela-
tines" Many persons imagine, quite
naturally, that these consist of some
form of gelatine, isinglass, or glue,
converted by chemical means into d
powerful explosive. But blasting
gelatine" contains no particle what
ever of gelatine, properly so called, the
term being applied to a mixture of
nitro-glycerine and nitry-cellulose.
1t is prepared at Ardeer, in Ayrshire,
N. b., by heating nitro-glycerine in
''jacketed" pans to between 40 degrees
and water at 60 degrees Centigrade
GAO degrees Fahrenheit a certain pro-
portion of dry guncotton of the ''solu-'
BILE" kind. A current of hot water at
80 degrees Centigrade Gao degrees
Fahrenheit) circulating between the
outer and inner pans keeps the con-
tents of the latter at the required tenn
perature, and the mixing is effected by
mechanical stirrers.
Any rise of temperature above As de-
grees Centigrade Q13 Fahrenheit is
quickly checked by turning into the
outer Jacket stream of cold water
in place of the hot for a time. In the
course of about an hour the nitro-cot-
ton is dissolved in the nitro-glycerine,
the two bodies uniting to form a more
or less stiff, homogeneous jelly; it may
indeed be compared to the photographs
collodion, thickened by evaporation,
the guncotton having been dissolved,
cot in the usual alcohol-ether mixture,
but in nitro-glycerine. When composed
of % per cent. of the latter. with per
cent. cotton, we get a most powerful
explosive. Mr.. G. Macroberts, the man
ager at Ardeer, observes upon this
point: tir
.'Of all the nitro-glycerine explosives,
blasting gelatine is the strongest. II
the energy of dynamite be represented
by 100, that of blasting gelatine will be
$50; nitro-gelatine itself shows less
energy than blasting gelatine.-Nine-

Which Is the wsy TO Sleepytown, ~
Look In the blinking eyes OF brown;
Or you may find the misty track
Hid in the half-closed eyes OF black

Follow along the crooked street,
Twisting about two tired feet
Feet that the whole day long have trod
Paths that lead TO the Land OF Nod;
Keep on going until you come
To weary fingers and weary thumb.
Or the lips within " hose gates Of pearl.

Where mother Is kissing the eyelids down.

With him as his guest is Col. Clark
Drake, hunter whose reputation for
daring in the pursuit of big game ex-
tends far beyond the borders of the
state. Both have stories to relate OF
chase full of excitement and danger.
Both tell of dangerous trip into a re-
gion which in rugged grandeur OF
scenery is not excelled in the state,
perhaps not in the world.
Each tells of the excitement of the
chase. of the trailing of the noble
game. the roar of the hunted animal,
the wild baying of the dogs. Now the

hunt deer, bear and panther. Stone

no duplicate. 1t was presented to him
by Col. Arthur w. Hooper, a college
chum and old-time friend of the at

The strike played sad havoc with the
attorneys plans. He was stopped at
Red Bluffs and after dreary wait of
three days determined to push on into
Trinity county in search of the same
game he had expected to find in Del
Norte county. He hired a team, bought
provisions, engaged a half-breed Indian
and started on journey of sixty-five
miles to Camp Wildwood.
