ALAsKA'S ICE BEAR.
An Accurate Description of 1t by Prof Dali
of the Coal Commission.

of the Coal Commission.
When the government sent out a COM
mission to investigate the coal fields of
Alaska last spring Prof. W. n. Dali was
made one Of the party. While the scien-
tifc men were visiting the Mt ST. Elias
glaciers, Prof. Dali saw an animal he
had never seen before. 1t was bear,
but such bear as nobody in the party
had ever seen or heard of. They thought
they had discovered an entirely distinct
species. Prof. Dali made an elaborate
report of all the circumstances. together
with all the information he could get
from the natives about the bear. This
is his description:
THE general color of the animal re-
semhles that of the silver fox. The fur
is not very long, but remarkably soft
and with rich under-fur of a blush
black shade, numbers of the longer hairs
being white or having the distal part
half white and the bastal part slaty.
The dorsal line from the tip of the nose
to the rump, the back of the very short
ears and the outer faces of the limbs are
jet black. Numerous long white hairs
issue from the ears; black and silver is
the prevalent pelage of the sides, neck
and the sinuses behind the limbs are
grayish white, or even nearly pure white,
/ am told in some cases. The sides of
the muzzle and the lower anterior part of
the cheeks are of a bright tan color-a
characteristic / have not seen in any
other American bear, and this character
istic is said to be invariable. There is
no tint of brown elsewhere in the pelage.
There is no tail visible on the pelts.
The claws are small, very much curved,
sharp, black above and lighter below;
the animal evidently can climb trees,
which the brown bear cannot do

says: 'Prof. Dali seems to have discoy-
cred our ice bear"

The Difference

Almost at the same time that the fore
most actor in England was receiving
his honor Of knighthood from the Queen
the foremost French actress was being
badly snubbed by some Brittany fisher
men. While Sara Bernhardt was spend
ing the summer in her ruined castle at
Belle Isle she noticed how dangerous
the harbor of Souzon was and how likely
to cause shipwreck to fishermen's boats.
She thereupon proposed to present the
fishermen with stanch brigantine to be
used for life saving and to bear her
name, but the villagers declined the offer.
They were willing to accept the gift of
the boat, but not if it was to be named
for an actress. Philadelphia Ledger.

a NiehU Alarm at the Mint.

There was intense alarm at the United
States mint the other night among the
watchmen employed inside the building,
owing to the belief that an attempt was
in progress to blow open the vaults. 1t
happened about 2 o'clock in the morning.
There was a deathlike stiffness on Chest
nut street, excepting when an occasional
trolley car would whiz by, and the noise
of an explosion directly at the mint
brought all on guard to state of the
highest tension. For few minutes
there was a wonderful turmoil, the
watchmen running hither and thither
with drawn revolvers in search of the
desperadoes. When, after a few min
utes. nothing whatever was discovered, a
further investigation was made outside
the building, and it was learned that
passing trolley car had exploded a cart

Formal Calls.

Despite the fact that the inevitable
social routine of calls is generally re-
garded by most women as a frightful
bore, the fact remains that in order to
keep up the social standard such conces-
siOnS to decency and good manners must
be made, therefore is it not wise once in
a while to consider how best to go about
it. SO far as is possible, to reduce the
burden of both your hostess and your
self? Il @
We would advise. first, never to go at
!, an, inopportune hour. 1flthere is any
{ thing more narrowing to Il housewife
than TO receive visitor before her
house is in order or her own self pre-
pared to receive company we have not
vet discovered it. The woman who can
appear at ease when she sees layer of
dust staring the caller in the face and
knows that there may be smudges of
-four on her own nose is the up-to-date
rival of the Spartan boy, but we have
yet to meet her.
To have a day for receiving is the
best plan and saves your friends the I'M
necessary frittering away of their time
in desultory visits. When you have
reached the house and been uShered into
the drawing room do not be, persuaded
if you have started out to make a formal
call, to remove your wraps. Fifteen min
utes being the limit Of your stay there is
no occasion to act as though you had
arrived for protracted visitation. On
another occasion. when ceremony is left
out of the formula. you can stay longer
and sit and gossip comfortably if you
find you are not boring your friend.
In making formal call remember
that no matter how intimate you may
be with your hostess it is a sign of bet
ter breeding to talk to her on her Eat
home" day in the fashion countenanced
by society rather than to indulge in per-
sonalities. This more especially applies
if there are others present. Finally, at
the conclusion of the call, get up and go;
do not as SO many women insist upon
doing-talk longer after you are once on
your feet than before you rose to depart.
Do not rush forth abruptly, but do not
1oiter. Always pay visit of ceremony
after an invitation to dinner, or to
dance, whether accepted or not. If the
hostess has day go then, if not. on the
first convenient afternoon, being sure,
however, not to arrive before o'clock.
We trust these few hints will prove help
full in that exacting round that is one of
Iife's duties, the necessary making of
formal calls.-Philadelphi Times.

Hints to Engaged Men.

There are two extremes. for the young
man who has just been made happy by
cher" acceptance of his heart, hand and
fortune, to avoid. On peril of his happi-
ness he must not be too attentive or too
interested in other women On the
other hand, he must rot treat his fancee
with that tender devotion which is sug-
gestive of Darby and Joan. The mod
ern young woman does not like to be in
) any way n reminder to the public of
ed persons.
IT will be we'll for the man who ex-
poets to sad smoothly into the matri-
monial port to continue those iattering
attentions after his engagement which
preceded it. 1t will not suffice for him
to talk of what he is saving to make
their little home worthy of her. He
must, by some magic. be, able both. to
save money for the futuresand TO provide
her with flowers, books, boubons, theater

row escape from death last evening. He
was a passenger on Shepherds hack to
the Rio Grande Western station On the
way there the horses grew fractions and
after an effort TO hold them which
was frustrated by the breaking of the
reins, the two men who were on the
boot jumped off and left the passenger to
his fate. The maddened animals dashed
on down the street until they reached the
station where they ran into a train which
was standing on the tracks, breaking the
vehicle up badly and injuring Thomas
quite seriously. He was rescued from the
debris and taken to the Cullen, where
DIR. Smith attended him. Fortunately no
bones were broken and he will get along
