MOuntalneer's Desperate Struggle
with an Infurlated Bsast.
A mountaineer named Jers Sands
had terrible conflict with bear in
Greasy Cove, near johnson City,
Tenn, recently. The animal had
been entrappsd during the night, and
when Sands came upon the scene he
went directly up TO the bear before
making an effort to shoot it, lie was
standing few feet away when the
infuriated beast made lunge, broke
its fetters aud was upon him in an ia.
stlnt Before the surprised hunter
could get his gun in position the bear
seized his left arm in its crushing
jaws, the weapon dropped from the
hand OF the manyled limb AMI bat.
tie of death began. In n moment
the mountaineer was in the
dread embrace of his an
tagonist. They fell to the
ground In the struggle which ensued,
and rolling over AMI over they went
down the mountain side thirty yards
and dropped off ledge of rocks
twelve feet sheer fall The bear
happened to fall underneath and
during the momentary shock which
followed the half dead man managed
to draw from his belt his hunting
knife, which fortunately had remained
undisturbed, and plunged it with all
his strength into the animals neck,
severing the jugular vein. This
ended the battle The bear soon re.
leased his hold and was dead, but his
slayer was too badly hurt to leave the
scene of the struggle. His continued
absence caused his friends to go 10
search of him. They founl the vic.
tor covered with blood and pillowed
upon his shaggy victim nursing his
mangled arm The bear was one Of

rev Venerables 60 he Found Among
European sovereigns and Statesmen.
Lord Rosebery's succession TO this
premiership serves TO call attention
TO the fact that whereas during the
Iirst decade after the Franco German
war. and throughout the major part
of the second. the destinies of Europe
were controlled by monarchs aud
statesmen of advanced age, their
power is now vested in the hands Of
comparatively young men. This is,
indeed, the epoch OF youth. Lord
Beaconsficld, Prince Gortchakor,
Prince Bismarck, NJ. Thiers, Depretis
Gladstone and the Danish statesman,
Estrupp, have all either died or with
drawn into private life, and the same
may be said OF their masters The
German emperor, who is undoubtedly
the man at the helm in the Teutonic
empire. is only 33 years old: the prince
Of Bulgaria is 3d. the emperor of
Russia 40 while the king of Wurtem-
berg, the king OF Portugal and the
king Of Greece are all young men.
Still more youthful are the queen Of
| Holland, the young king OF Scrvia
and the little king Of Spain. As re-
CARDS statesmen, we find young men,
such as Lord Roscbsry and Mr..
Asquith. occupying the principal Off
ces OF the British crown The Austrian
prime minister, Princo Windisch-
rractz, is under 30, and Cardinal
Rompolla, the papal secretary of
state, is barely one or two years
over that age VI. CasimirPerrier, the
French prime minister, is about IS
years of age, while NJ Dupuy, his
predecessor, and now president OF the
chamber of deputies, is about three
years younger Many other names
might be added TO the list, but the

living in the golden age OF youth, and

How the Great Emperor Made HIS Toilet
IN the Morning.

IN the Morning.
One of the most interesting articles
found among the recent numerous
essays upon the private life OF Ma
poleon is on the toilet Of the emperor,
which, it appears was a most import
ant matter and regulated down 20 the
smallest details with mathematical
precision. When awakened IT was
Napoleon's custom 20 glance over the
papers while the fires were lit. lie
was sensitive to cold and a fire was
prepared IA every room even In mid
summer, Then OF distinguished peo-
pie awaiting an audience he would
designate those whom he wished to see
after which he would rise and take
hot bath lasting about an hour. The
daily shaving was the next duty. Or
dinarily his physician, Corvisart,
would be present, chatting and secur-
ing favors for his friends. Napoleon S
greeting was usually some badinage,
such as, "Ah, charlatan! How many
patients have YOU killed this morn
ing?' And the physician would reply
in kind. Two Wallets were necessary
for shaving, one holding the basin
and another the mirror The en-
pcror, in a flannel robe dc chambre.
then covered his face with soap and
began to shave. Throwing off
his robe. Napoleon was ncXt
deluged with eau de cologne and sub
jectcd TO thorough scrubbing
with a rough brush. The valet then
rubbed the whole body with linen
rolls saturated with eau de cologne
a custom that Napoleon had acquired
in the East The scrubbing was none
of the lightest either, for he would
call out from time TO time, Harder
rub harder" When the scrubbing was
over the emperor dressed himself A
curious detail of his costume was the
religious care with which he kept
hung round his neck the little leather
envelope, shaped like n heart, which
contained the poison that was TO lib
crate him in case of irretrievable re-
verses of fortune. This poison was
prepared after recipe that Cabanis
had given TO Condorcet, and after the
year 1909 the emperor never under
took a campaign without having his
little packet of poison.
