The GREAT GRAY WOLF.
1t Is Not Very Large, but Is All Muscle
and Fears Nothing but Fire.

1t Is Not Very Large, but Is All Muscle,
and Fears Nothing but Fire.
The great gray wolf of the north is q
most powerful beast and pursues men with
hungry eagerness when snow prevents 1t
from finding it's usual food. 1t is not q
large creature, but it is all muscle
1.-The gray wolf" says Forest and
Stream, sis not much taller than setter
dog. He is longer and heavier, sort of
combination of wire and rawhide, which
never tires and can cover ground with
great rapdity. A man not long ago start
ed two wolf hounds after six hungry
wolves of this type. The dogs overlook the
wolves with unexpected ease, and then the
wolves ate the dogs, evidently thankful
that a supply train had followed them.
"A year ago man who believes in poi
soning wolves dragged a fresh beef hide 81
miles, throwing out bait of poisoned meat.
Next day, on his return over the line, he
found 20 wolves and coyotes dead, while
others no doubt had wandered away sick
to some hole or other and died.
ga very effective trap is made of gang
of flshhooks baited with meat. The hooks
are hung on wires and fastened to branches.
The animals come along, smell the bait
and, getting on their hind legs, succeed in
reaching it. The bending of the branch
prevents the hooks from being torn out. 1t
makes it decidedly interesting when q
panther gets hold of hook instead of a
wolf.
1.-THE gray wolf in pack of it's own kind
seems to fear nothing but fire. 1t will at
tack a man who is shooting at 1t and it's
comrades. 1t will aid in pulling down a
wounded buffalo bull, and buck deer at
bay is attacked in spite of horns and hoofs.
But fire keeps it at u distance. A lone man
may sleep if his fire burns brightly, even if
the wolves sit about just outside the line
of light, their eyes showing in circle sur
rounding the man, but as the fire dies
down the circle draws closer, and it be-
hooves the man to stir it up again.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

PRosPER1SG AS NEVER BEFORE

The Philadelphia Times in it's issue Of
Sunday last gives some Interesting fig
ures concerning the almost marvellous
increase IN the export trade Of the South.
h'or instance, it says that the value Of
all kinds Of exports from the North At
iantic ports for the first ten months OF
the present year was S453,O12 ,G55, as
against S412,01o,703 in 1896, which is q
gain OF SO per cent. The same authorf-
~ shows the value Of exports during
the first ten months Of 1897 from all
Southern ports to be s341, 1929, ZIG, as
against $250,517,254 in 1896, gain Of 362
per cent. The Times says that the sta
tistics for the years 1895 and 1896 show
81 shrinkage in the ut-put Of pig iron
of the entire country from 9,4iG, 3OS tons
III 1895 to S.623,127 tons in 1896, n differ
ence OF S23.1S1 tons.
But in face of this it Is shown that
the Southern output in 1896 was 1885,
999 tons. as against 1.729206 tons in 1895,
gain in the business for the South Of
1898 tons. II will be seen from these
figures that while there was a general
shrinkagc in that product, the South
actually gained, the shrinkage being at
the expense OF the North The total
production Of pig iron in 1896 was $685.

The Times. commenting upon these
figures has the following TO say:
These figures show two things,
the first of which is that the South
Is at last developing It's wonderful
natural resources, and the second is
that no matter how severe the re-
cent business depression may have
been In other sections the South was
stand an indefinite extension Of this
kind OF hard times"
or course, the South is feeling the
effects Of the general depression OF
trade. because what affects the South
at the most necessarily affects the South
ut the same time. If this were not the
! fact the above figures, showing the busl-
ness Of the South along the lines sug-
| gestcd, would be very much greater than
| they are. However, it is gratifying to
know that despite the general depres-
sion the Souths increase is largely bet
| ter than the other sections

The fact is gradually growing upon
the cotton manufacturers Of New Eng
land that they cannot successfully com
pete With the Southern mills in the man.
Of cotton fabrics, and although
1t cost an effort to do so, yet there are
some few New England people who are
honest enough to admit that such is
true. y few weeks ago u prominent
and successful business man OF that
section undertook to make an investiga-
ton Of the SOuth's advantages along
the lines here suggested, and here Is
what he has to say on the subject:
"A modern bric. cotton mill in
an average Southern location can
be built about 20 per cent cheaper
than in the North. There is no lack
OF water supply. and as Il rule this
is cheap. In Alabama coal is OBJ
tanned at sl.50 per ton, rendering the
cost OF steam power about one-half
that Of the average New England
mill. The item of wages shows from
% to so per cent. in favor of the
South. In the matter Of transport
ms the raw cotton from the fields
there is q substantial saving, and in
many cases the hauling is made d.
rect. without the necessity and ex-
pense of the compress. Taxes are
low, and tempting premiums are
frequently offered, either by towns
or through the medium OF State
law"
With these advantages in the South's
favor. without mentioning others, and
there arc many. 1t is not difficult 70 un.
