SURPRISE ALL AROUND.
Adventure of TraPper. Jealous Cam
Cook and n Panther.

Adventure of TraPper, "a Jealous Camp
Cook and Panther.
Forest and Stream tells d story of 4
trapper, q panther, and a camp cook
The trapper was good one, and had
had such success that a lumber camp
cook, also trapper, was jealous of
him.
One day the trapper, John Gardener,
visited an Adirondack lumber camp,
and there told of his good luck Muir
dock, the cook, became restless when
he heard Gardeners tales. One day, a
week or so later, Gardener returned
TO his camp sooner than usual, and
I found Murdoch rummaging IN his
shanty. Murdoch explained that he
was searching for tobacco. Later Muir
dock STARTED for the lumber camp in
his boat, leaving Gardener cutting q
supply of night wood.
Gardener lay down and went asleep,
then awakened suddenly with the
feeling that something, he didn't know
what, was snealling about camp. His
rifle was alongside, loaded, and he
raised himself to a sitting position and
listened. He heard footballs, which he
thought We're a bears, maybe a pan
theirs. The full moon, shining through
a elouded sky and iow-burning camp
fire, rendered the camps surroundings
partially discernible.
The object that made the sounds
came into view. and Gardener reckoned
that it was a bear. He leveled his rifle
and was pressing the trigger, when out
of a tree overhead the long, lean, tawn.y
form of panther shot down at the
STOPPING creature.
There was yell then that surprised
Gardener and made the panther leap
sideways and put through the woods at
full speed. Then a flicker of the fire
showed a man running and stumbling
headed for the creek. A moment or
so later the splash, splash of oars sound
ed back through the woods, dying away
quickly in the distance.
i The next morning Murdoch returned
to the lumber camp, having been gone
since the afternoon of the day before,
lis clothes torn TO shreds, and hide
torn, too, IN places. He packed up every
thing of his own, and away he went be-
fore noon. This Gardener learned some
days after. Gardener wondered which
Of the three was the most surprised, the
panther, the cook or himself

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewelry business at 926 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form of dis.
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
batiled the skill of the physicians for
res. and they have never yet been
ao!e to effect cure. His mental
DESPAIR can better be imagined than
des ribbed.
In d recent letter he says: "About
four years ago contracted a severe
case of contagious blood poison, and

myself under treatment of two of the

place of air these bladders contain wa
ter; they are the digestive organs of the
Utricularia, and at the same time are so
constructed as to form very ingenious
but extremely simple trap for catching
food. 1t is into these bladders that
many tiny fish find their unwilling
way, together with many insects. The
bladder, as shown in the picture, is
somewhat of pear shape, with an
opening at the small end. Around the
mouth ere antennae-like projections or
bristles, which are for the purpose of
warding off and keeping out insects OF
too great size. The mouth is closed by
valve which readily Yields to light
pressure, but offers an immovable
barrier to the once-captured creature.
The valve is a thin and transparent
plate, and by means of the water behind
it is made to stand out like q bright
spot, which many naturalists think at
tracts prey. Some of the insectivorous
plants, on catching their prey, at once
pour out a digestive fluid analogous to
the gastric juice of the human stomach,
but with the Utricularia this is not the
case. The fish or other food when
caught in the bladder are merely cap
tives, and swim about in their confined
quarters with eager activity in their en-
deavor to find an outlet. until asphyxia
for lack of oxygen comes on. Even now
the plant makes no effort to digest the
animal food, but waits patiently until
decay takes place and the animal mat
ter is by putrefaction resolved into
fluids VIII III the numerous papillae lin
ing the bladder can absorb. - j. Oliver

selves with eating up "a few big to-

difference, but they peclled into doz-

so much as one little hole in il it won't

All this was very provoking to the
farmer, but our boy found a remedy.
1t happened that he had u lively little
black dog that was very fond Of chas-
ing chickens, and he knew that if he
could be kept in the garden there
wouldn't be any more trouble from
birds. So our boy went and drove two
stout stakes 40 or 50 feet apart near
the tomato bed, and between them he
stretched q stout wire, on which he had
first threaded a small ring At one
stake he placed an empty box for a
kennel and then he tied the little
black dog to the ring The next tiinc

matoes that little dog ran out and

CURIOUS FISHERMAN.
How the BIadder-Wart Catches Unsus-
pecting Little Fishes.

NOW INC hAalueE-n &FL catches InSuR-
pecting Little Fishes.
There are many persons, perhaps,
who have heard OF plants that catch in
seets, but comparatively few, l imagine,
know anything about this vegetable
fisherman here shown. 1t is an inno-
cent-looking plant, and bears a pretty
flower. No one would fer d molnent
imagine its real character. This plant
is found in most of our freshwater
ponds, and is known as the bladder
wart or Utricularia. In the early part
of the season this plant lies at the bot
tom of the water and resembles mass
of fibers; but later on, when the period
of Towering arrives, the vesicles absorb
the mucus which filled them and re-
place it with an aeriform fluid. Then
the plant, having become much lighter
than the water, escapes from the bottom
and rises to the surfacewhere it floats and
where its beautiful golden-yellow flow
ers are expanded and formulated tits
magnificent sight to see this rootless
plant, floating half in and half out of
the water, the branching and stem-like
leaves forming the submerged float from
which rises the fiower-stem. To the
leaves are attached curious insect-lile
bladders filled with water, and varying
in size in the different species, reaching
at times a diameter of one-fifth of an
inch. 1t was formerly supposed that
these bladders were filed with air and

The Hunter softly stole Away.

A hunter in the Wisconsin woods
was going through swamp when he
saw a bear stretched out on a log over
a brook. Presently the bear put paw
down through hole in the shell Of
the log on which it lay and dipped it
into the water. The trout gathered
around it and nibbled at the foot Then
the claws shut up quickly, and tie
fish We're caught. That the bear was
a successful fisher was shown BY the
remains of fish around the log. The
hunter was armed with shotgun only,
and was not looking for bears, 50 he
quietly stole away, much impressed
with the scene he had witnessed.

One of our boys who lives on big

This fab his father had large crop
of tomatoes, covering several acres of

to set ripe in large quantities, and it
kept several men busy picking them
and packing them into boxes and bds-
