GRIZZLY AND SILVER TIP,
Three Types in California of Immense
Size and strength.

Three Types in California of Immense
Size and Strength.
The grizzly bears found all through
the canyons of the Rocky and Coast
mountains and spurs of the Sierra Ne
vada range seldom descend from lofty
attitudes, where they manage year in
and year out to exc out a subsistence
near the perpetual snow line. An old
and experienced hunter has said that
"any mans a fool to go in arter bear
alone" The bruins of the east and the
bruins of the west arc almost totally
different animals. The UTsa Majors of
the Serras are monstrous in size, en-
dowed with ugly dispositions and pro-
digious strength, and as for grit, they
dispute-ard very often successfully,
too-the sovereignty of the mountains
and forests with the king of American
beasts, the mountain lion. (,
Hunters disagree upon the point of
how many different species of the bear
tribe we have in the southwest. There
are at least three distinct types of the
family in California and Lower Califor-
nia-namely, the grizzly, brown and
black bear. Besides these there are
also gray bears, cinnamon bears and
the Sierra grayback. The true gray is
seldom, if ever, seen now as far north
as the 45th parallel, and as far east as
the main divide; the cinnamon is sim
ply a cross between the brown and
black bears, and the mighty silver tip
is neither more nor less than mongrel
of the brown and grizzly, partakirg
strongly of the natures of the two, but
particularly of the latter. All the men,
bcrs of the species intermarry, and the
silver tip is the king of the family.
This big fellow, springing from the
grizzly and the brown, combines all the
ferocity and tough strength of the for
mer with the agility and stubbornness
of the latter, each distinctive trait be-
ing more prominent in him and pos
scssed to a greater degree than by the
very animals from whom he borrows
them. The silver tip is unquestionably
the ruler of the family by reason of his
greater size and belligerent disposi-
tion. Lewis and Clarke, in their mar
rative of their journey to the Pacific
coast nearly a hundred years ago, speak
of meeting not only brown and black
bears, but also numerous white bears,
that made it perilous travelling at times
for various members of that bold pio-
neer party.-N. Y. Times.

COMBS ALL THE RAGE.

New Fashions of Dressing the Hair and
the Latest Ornaments.
The women who have been fond of
dressing their hair with feathers and
aigrettes will have to give them up this
winter or be hopelessly out of date, for
the feathers must go. Combs of all
sizes and shapes are the correct head
ornaments, SO the fashionable jewelers.
and hair-dressers say, and they come in
endless variety, SO far rs material and
design are concerned.
There seems to be very different
way of arranging the hair for every
face, and yet all are stylish. The
woman with dark, glistening locks
must wear her hair in the evening after
the style of Empress Josephine if she
has the face to stand it, and the dia-
mond and pearl tiara which gives the
finishing touch to this very fetching ar
rangement of her locks. If she can't
afford the latter two or three strands
of imitation pearls look well wound in
and out among the dark puffs. Dark
hair does not look well too much be-
frizzled. Crimping causes it to lose its
luster, which is brought out by light
ornaments. On the other hand, the
woman with yellow or reddish hair
should wave it on all sides and puff it
up in a fluffy mass.
Medium-sized tortoise shell combs
ornamented with applied silver are
more popular than anything else just
now, but they really show off better in
light hair than in any other. Black
garnet and mat jet combs and hair-pins
are being imported from Paris and are
already very popular. Many of them
come in crescent and butterfly shapes,
and are thickly studded with rhine
stones. The side combs match, and the
effect of these novelties in blonde hair
is gorgeous and striking.
The silversmiths report big run on
the enaIneled and jeweled bodies of but
terflies. The ornaments have an ar
rangement Mt the back which permits
OF ribbon wings of the color of the
gown. The demure maid who clings
to her crimpless part and coils her hair
very high on her head may thrust one
of these butterflies in at the back of
the part and SO relieve it's severity. She
may even go further and fill her hair
with very small enameled and jeweled
butterfly and flower pins and SO obtain
an effect altogether japanese.
Few women can afford to dress their
hair low on their ntcks, even with the
aid of crimps and puffs, but those who
90 Eust not fail to set off the knot with
tnr Il
curving almost from ear to ear, if they
wish to be in the very latest style.--

The next Congress will be called upon
to provide some source of revenue for
the Government. The Democrats have
not only ruined private enterprise, but
they have been heaping up debt
mountain high against the Nation. The
Republicans will naturally insist upon
more near return to the Republican
policy of the past, under which our peo.
pie prospered, and the National war
debt was rdpidly reduced, and under
which in times ofpeace the Government
never had to borrow dollar. Whether
Grover, the great, will resist this policy
remains to be seen. If he does. the De.
mocracy will have to face a justly in.
dignant public next year, and will meet
with such an overwhelming reputation,
as will settle its hopes of preferment for
generation to come.

Now that the campaign is over, and
there can be no claim that the argu.
ments put forth in favor of Republican
principles are actuated merely by de.
sire for political spoils, we want those
who are candidly interested in the vel.
fare of the country, more than they are
interested in the welfare Of any political
party, to consider without any bias Of
prejudice the following indisputab,e
facts, which, in their succinct form, we
clip from the New York Advertiser:
During the tour years that Benjamin
Harrison occupied the presidency feder.
al revenues exceeded expenditures near.
ly 210,000,00O. During the last two
years, under Grover Cleveland, federal
receipts have fallen $112,62S, ,309.S7 be.
hind expenditures.
When Benjamin Harrison stepped
down from the chief magistry OF the
Nation in 1898, the interest. bearing debt
of the federal government was substant-
tally $685. 100000. On June 3Oth last,
after little over two years of Cleveland
"fnanciering' and free-trade tariff tink-
ering, the interest bearing debt had
swollen to $716, ,202,0 2,060.
During the fiscal year which closed on
June 80, 1894, most of which year Re.
publican president tenanted the White
House, this country built 4,S97 miles of
railroad. In the following year, under
the whitening blight of Clevelandism, it
built less than half that number, or, to
be exact, 2,247 miles.
In 1892, the first year that the bene.
ficent effects of the Mckinley tariff law
began to manifest themselves, the peo.
pie of the United States sold goods
amounting to $1,015, ,732, oil to people
abroad. During the last fiscal year, ten
months of which the iniquitous Wilson.
German tariff law was in operation, the
exports from this country had shrunk to
SOS, ,553,O1S.
According to the census of 1890 the
total amount of wages paid in the United
States that year, a year when the Re.
publican party controlled the executive
and law.making departments of the
Nation, reached the magnificent sum Of
So, ,2S2 1928, ,265. In 1894, under Grover
Cleveland and Democratic Congress,
only the beggarly sum of about 81 ,20O,'
OO0, 900 was paid in wages.
In 1890 the value of the manufactured
products of this country was $3.50, 10Y )
264. Four years later, thanks to the
malign influence of Democratic presi.
dent and a Democratic assault upon the
factories, shops, mines and farms of this
republic, the value of these products
had dwindled to little over So, 900, ,OOO,
600.
Gut these out and paste them in your
memorandum book, or better, memorize
them as you have memorized the Lords
Prayer. If the Democrats had carried
out their threat of free trade to it's full
extent, the already fearful results above
noted would have been infinitely worse
Such is the tendency of free trade.
