ALASKA,s ICE BEAR.
An Accurate Description of It by Profess
or Dali of the Goal Commission.


or Dali of the Coal Commission.
When the government sent out COM
mission to investigate the coalfelds Of
Alaska, Professor W. N. Dali was made
one of the party. While the scientific men
were visiting the Mount St. Elias glaciers,
Professor Dali saw an animal he had new
or seen before. 1t was bear, but such a
bear as nobody in the party had ever seen
or heard of. They thought they had dis.
covered an entirely distinct species. Pro
fessor Dali made an elaborate report of ali
the circumstances, together with all tbs
Information he could get from the natives
about the bear. This is his description:
"The general color of the animal resem.
bles that of the silver fox. The fur is net
very long, but remarkably soft and with a
rich under fur of blush black shade,
numbers of the longer hairs being whits
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 rump; the under surface of the
belly and the sinuses behind the limbs are
SfayIsn WnIOo, or even nearly pure WnlGe,
I am told in some cases. The sides of tho
muzzle and the lower anterior part Of ths
checks are of bright tan oolor-a charao-
teristic have not seen in any other Amer
lean bear, and this characteristic is said to
be inyariable. 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"
To this the Alaska Mining Record says:
Professor Dali seems to have discover
ed our ice BEAR"

scALLoPED COMMUNION CUP.

requirements of Scripture, medical
science, and sanitary conditions, came
from the women Of some Of the chief
Episcopal churches in the neighborhood
of San Francisco. To the approval of
these women DR.. Law su omitted his de-
sign as it progressed toward completion.
The California communion cup differs
in design from any other similar vessel.
1t Is made of silver with a gold lining,
and stands 10 inches in height and 5
inches in diameter. The edge is broken
into scallops, which are used for drinking
places by successive communicates who
turn the cup as it is passed from one to
another. After the scallops have all been
used, the cup is cleansed with a purifier
before it is used again.
Although the scaliops at the edge form
the most striking innovation in the con.
struotion of the cup. the whole scheme is
altogether novel. Within the cup proper
is reservoir holding ten ounces of wine
To fill the reservoir the cup is inverted
the bowl. The wine is then poured in
and the stem replaced. The chalice is
next inverted over the reservoir. Hand the
reservoir Is firmly screwed inside the cup,
but the sides do not touch anywhere,
there being one-quarter Of an inch of free
space between the outside of the reservoir
and the inside of the cup.
When the chalice is brought to an up
right position one-third of a teasl oonfui
Of wine escapes from an opening at the
bottom of the reservoir, and no more
wine can flow out into the cup until it
has been drunk by the communicate.
When the cup is tipped for drinking q
bubble of air-enters the opening, and
when the cup is brought to vertical
position In passing it to the next commu-
meant another supply Of wine runs out
as before. On the top of the reservoir Ia
cross which the minister unscrsws after
the congregation has communicated.
This permits the air to enter, and the
wine, seeking it's level, runs into the cup
to be consumed by tho minister.
The advantages urged in this new fash
ion in the communion cup are that each
communicate drinks from clean, dry
place, and never touches any wine except
ing that which he actually consumes.
The danger Of splitting is also averted.
while the admission OF any foreign sub
stance. possible infection, or uncleanll-
ness is pract ioally eliminated.

font is held in place by fitted lining.
The broad collar is especially becoming,
popular stock collars. Any of the popu-
lar silk. wooden, or cotton fabrics may be
chosen for this model, with any preferred
style of trimming. By the omission of
the large COLLAR the model becomes one of
the simplest designs for house dress.
A special illustration and full direction
about the pattern will be found in the

Medicinal Value of Water.

Speaking of the medicinal value of
water, Halls Journal of Health says that
the human body is constantly undergoing
tissue change. Worn out particles are cast
aside and eliminated from the system,
Water has the power Of increasing these
tissue changes, which multiply the waste
products, but at the same time they are re
newed by its agency, giving rise to in
creased appetite, which in turn provides
fresh nutriment.
People accustomed to rise in the morn
ing weak and languid Will find the cause
in the imperfect secretion of wastes,
which many times may be remedied by
drinking tumbler OF water before re-
firing. This materially assists in the
process during the night, and leaves the
tissues fresh and strong.
Hot water is one of our best remedial
agents. A hot bath on going to bed,
even in the hot nights of summer, is a
better reliever Of insomnia than many
drugs. Infamed parts will subside under
the continual poultlcing of hot water.
Very hot water is a prompt checker of
bleeding, and if it is clean, as it should
be, it aids in steriIizing wounds.
