down in health, and was almost as
helpless as a child. He took doctors
medicine without such benefit, and
then he got bottle of Hoods Sarsa-

it he found it was doing him good,

GRIZZLY AND SILVER TIP.
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 eke 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 are almost totally different animals. The Ursa Majors of the Sicrras are monstrous in size, en- dowed with ugly dispositions and pro digious strength, and as for grit, they dispute-and 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 us the 45th parallel, and as far east as the main divide; the cinnamon is sim ply cross between the brown and black bears, and the mighty silver tip Is neither more nor less than mongrel of the brown and grizzly, partaking strongly of the natures of the two, but particularly of the latter. All the mcm- Gcrs 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 mcr with the agility and stubbornness of the latter, each distinctive trait be- jug more prominent in him and pos scssed to 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 belligcrcnt disposi- ton. Lewis and Clarke, in their nar- rative of their journey to the Pacific coast nearly 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 pic, necr party.-N. Y. Times.

Such an arrangement would obviously leave nothing to be desired on the one side, but how it worked on the other we are not told. What was supposed to be the condition of this spiritual under takcr after the ceremony was con cluded? Did his appropriation" of the dead mans sins imply a sort of moral as similation of them, answering to his physical assimilation of the bread and cheese? The question would obviously be one of some importance to a sin-eater in large practice. If the responsibili- ties of his profession were as great as ties of his profession were as great ns hypothesis, he would need to retire from it early, and to devote consider able portion of his closing years to re- pentancc and good works.
 Again, it is natural to ask what hap pencd at the decease of popular or "fashionable'' sin-cater. Would any one among his professional brethren undertake to eat his sins, even in the first flush of satisfaction produced by stepping into his shoes? If so, then, indeed, has the epithet of gallant been rightly bestowed upon little Wales. It is as though one doctor succeeding to another's practice should consent to as sume the moral responsibility for his late colleagues treatment of all his de- ceased patients, in addition to his own similar burdens.
 We yield to none in admiration of the quiet and homely heroism of the medi- cal profession, but we doubt whether 1t would enable them to face such an or deal as this. As to the Welsh practi- tioners to whom we have compared them, we shrink from pursuing the an alysis further. It is evident that, as in the schoolboy game of ''conquerors," where n stone which can smash the smasher, of, say, 43 other stones takes over all its conquests, and becomes it. self a "forty-fourer," so the responsible ities of these unhappy men might ac- cumulate at an alarming rate. One hardly dares to contemplate the inter. nal condition of the sin-eater who had il, life attended long series of other sin caters. The cheese would be almost converted into Welsh rabbit before he had got it down.--London Times.
