Frightening q Grizzly.


A veteran hunter tells in the San
Francisco Chronicle of a bear which
backed out Of fight, frightened by
mans acrobatic performances. He
says: "a remarkable instance I heard
of once, where famous guide courage
ously advanced upon three grizzlies, an
old she-bear and two half-grown cubs,
and by a series of ridiculous monkey
shines and acrobatic manoeuvres on
the ground within rod or two Of the
bears, filled them with such aStonish-
ment and apparent fear that the three
hastily retreated into the woods.
"The guides gun had snapped in both
barrels, he having drawn on the old
bear before the young ones appeared.
He afterwards said that it was in fit
OF desperation that he tried the turn
ing of a handspring and jumping up
and down, Hopping his hands and re.
sorting to other unhunter-like meas
ureS.
"He had been told once that hunt
er had frightened mountain lion away
by similar absurd movements, and he
found that it worked to perfection In
the case of the bears, although he did
not encourage any one to go hunting
grizzlies armed with nothing more thar
q capacity to turn somersaults."

Set Type by Wire.

Donald Murray, newspaper man OF
Sydney, New South Wales, has invent
ed and patented device by means Of
which an operator in New York, with
keyboard before him like that Of an or
binary typewriter not only can produce
typewriter copy in New Orleans, but
1t is claimed that he can operate type
setting machine there and deliver his
matter there in lead, ready for the
forms. Not only that, but the same op-
orator, by using a number of telegraph
lines, can put up the same copy stimuli
taneously in q dozen different places.
In this operation only ordinary cur
rents are used, such as are capable OF
being relayed, and are subject to all
conditions Of ordinary telegraphy. The
work can be done with the same speed
as an ordinary typewriter is operated
and dispenses with all clock-worS
mechanism, spontaneously moving
type wheels and other cumbrous de-
vices. 1t is said to be capable Of manip-
ulating eighty characters.-Press and

Merit Always Wins.

The hard times of the past three or four
years have been very destructive to all ln-
dustrial affairs, and the railways have
had an unusual amount Of difficulty III
making both ends meet. Roads that
have, during this trying period, earned
dividends while at the same time afford
ing high class trans sportatlOn facilities to
their patrons, have, indeed, been fortunate.
And such an event speaks well Tor the
management of the rods.
The record of the n excl Plate road dur
ing the recent period oi industrial de-
preston has indeed been remarkable, and
1t speaks most eloQuently OF the conserva-
tive judgment of the managers. For this
road has made great and steady progress
in the material improvement OF It's road
way and appliances, and in pertecting It's
euuipment, The interests of the public
have been in nowise neglected.; in TACT,
the success of this road has INJURED to the
benefit of the public as much, if not more,
than to the stockholders. The condition
of the road today shows this. Great and
valuable improvement of q permanent
character have been made-in the shape
of STRENGTHENING the roadway, bridges,
and other accessories, and procuring new
and improved safety appliances; new
coaches have been added, elegant Wagner
sleeping cars put on, new and powerful
engines have been placed in service, and
everything has Ieen done to raise the
standard Of the road, to perfect its service,
and 10 give it leading place among the
best roads IN the country. The result has
been obvious. The people have observed
the progressive spirit of this road, have
given it liberal patronage, have enjoyed
its excellent facilities, and that tells the
whole story of highly successful enter
prise.
Among the most noteworthy improve
ments effected by the Nickel Plate route
Is the introduction of a tirst-class dining
car service which has won the approval
OF the best class of patrons. Then the
coaches have been illuminted by the BRILL
liant Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and
placed in the care of colOred porter. SO
the passengers have had the best that
money can afford, at the lowest rates.
The through train service of the Nickel
Plate, running IN connection with the
West Shore and Fitchburg railroads
over the great Hoosac Tunnel route, be-
tween New York, Boston and Chicago,
ranks with the best in tho country, and
has become deservedly popular. Elegant
new coaches, and palatial Wagner buffet
sleeping cars run through without change;
the service is unexcelled, the time fast,
the scenery most fascinating.
Located along the south shore OF Lake
Erie are many substantial and attractive
summer resorts that are yearly growing
in popularity, and this clase of travel
promises continually increasing source
Of revenue to the Nickel Plate road.

HIS COMRADES IN SOLITUDE.
Therefore the Convict Wept When
They Killed His Pet Rats,

1ncy hilieu Ills ret fatSs
A few days ago, at sunrise, there was
an execution in the damp, chilly yard
of the New Jersey penitentiary, at
Trenton, and as the sharp sound of
musketry died away Burglar George
PytZel. a twenty-year convict, wept
piteously and refused to eat or be COM
forted. Kitty, his pet rat, was sacri-
feed with the other rodents which in
tested the prison. and the man who
had sinned and had borne sins conse-
quences without one word of complaint
was overcome with grief.
Prisoners have made strange COM
rades in their loneliness before this,
but PytzeHs friendship for the rats
was peculiar. Years ago he was direct
ed to clear the cook house of the pests,
but much TO the surprise of the keep
ers he became the master of them. He
taught them to respond to his voice
and perform all sorts of tricks, calling
them forth from their holes by whis-
tie and sending them back by signal
similar in kind But the old quarters
| had to be demolished, and for fear the
new cook house would be infested
Keeper Moore decided the rats must

tered, but with flashing eyes and color

was urged, commanded, threatened
and finally punished, but he would not
yield. Then the rodents were sricked
into traps and sentenced. Pytiel beg
ged for the life of the one hs called
"Kitty."
"She is such comfort to me, sir" he
pleaded. "She knows as much as

But the word had been given and
Kitty was killed, but there is genuine

Grants Shyness.

Gen. Grant neither OvereStimated nor
distrusted hims If. He was modest,
and inclined to claim less than his due
but he was also self-reliant and per-
sistent. An anecdote related by Mrs.
Sherwood in her "Epistle to Posterity'
sets forth his disposition to accord to
others their due and to claim little for
himself save the virtue Of getting
there"
Mrs. Sherwood told him on one Occa-
sion that an English officer who nad
been present at the dinner given him
by the Duke Of Wellington in the
Waterloo chamber had told her in Lon
don that he thought him very learned
soldier.
We'll. am not" said Grant, Il had
neither the genius of Sherman, nor the
learning of Lee or hcPherson. l only
meant to get there"
In 1865, just after the close Of the
war, Gen. Grant visited West Point,
his old alma mater, accompanied by
Mrs. Grant.
I'VE were in the library" writes
Mrs. Sherwood; "the examination was
going on, and Prof. Bartlett left the
room, coming back with Grant on his
arm. The professors rose to receive
him. l think poor Gen. Grant nearly
sank through the floor; he WINGED as
he never had done in the face Of the
enemy.
"'Those dreaded professors rising to
do me honor. Why, l felt the cadet
terror all over me- he afterward said
He was more comfortable when he
got outside and began shaking hands
with all mankind and wOmankind, but
no one who saw that notable scene car
forget his modesty."

tile lands of Western Canada, which
were made at the several State and
county fairs in some of the Western
erable interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given free
to settlers. The agents of the Govern
ment, who are to be found in these
States, are flooded with inquiries re-
garding the conditions ON which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during the
past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era of
prosperity, and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces of Mani
toba, AssinabOia and Alberta are spe-
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country is specially
adapted to stock raising, and it is be-
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains week at time,
the warm broeZes from the ocean af-
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability of these lands is
fully known there will be rush such
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates, illustrated pamphlets, etc. will
be forwarded with pleasure by the De-
partment Of the Interior, Ottawa. Can
