How Alaska Indians Track Bears

How Alaska Indians Track Bears.
William b. Otis, who has been all
over the world as one Of the ichthyolo-
gists in the employ Of the government.
has Just returned from his second visit
from studying the fish In Alaskan
waters. He says: "Strips of whale
bone are folded into the shape of the
letter N enveloped in hunks Of fat,
and frozen that way. The fat thus pre-
pared is left in promising spots for
great white bears to devour. Along
comes one of the monsters, gulps a
lump down whole, the gastric Juices
melt the fat and eat away the strings
of tendon with which the whalebone is
bound; the whalebone springs out
straight across the animals stomach,
and presently it dies. Next day Mr.. Es-
kimo comes along and gathers In a
bearskin worth several quarts Of whis-
ky."-Portland Oregoninn.

PROLIFIC LIFE OF ALASKA.
Plenty of wild Animals in the Arctic
Reservation.

Nowhere on my travels so far have
seen so much warm-blooded rejoicing
life as in this grand Arctic reservation
by 50 many regarded as desolnte. Not
only are there whales in abundance
along the shores, and innumerable
seals, walruses and white bears, but
great herds Of fat reindeer on the
tundras, and wild sheep, foxes, hares,
Jennings, whistiing marmots, and
birds. Perhaps more birds are born
here than In any other region of equal
extent on the continent. Not only do
strong-winged hawks. eagles and wa
ter-fowl, to whom the length of the
continent is only q pleasant excursion,
come up here every summer In great
numbers, but also many short-winged
warblers, thrushes and flnches, to rear
their young in safety, reinforce the
plant bloom with their plumage, and
sweeten the wilderness with song, fly
ing all the way, some of them, from
Florida, Mexico and Central America.
In thus going SO far north they are
only going home, for they were born
here, and only go south to spend the win
ter months as New Englanders go to
Florida. Sweet-Voiced troubadours, they
sing in orange groves and vine-clad
magnolia woods in winter, In thickets
Of dwarf birch and alder in summer.
and sing and chatter more or less all
the way back and forth, keeping the
whole country glad. Oftentimes In
New England just as the last snow
patches are melting. and the sap In the
naples begins to flow, the blessed
wanderers may be heard about or
chards and the edges of fields where
they have stopped to CLEAN q scanty
meal, not tarrying long. knowing they
have far to go. Tracing the footsteps
of spring, they arrive in their tundra
homes In June or July. aud set out on
their return journeys In September, or
as soon as their families are able to
fly well.0John Muir. in Atlantic

Veterans Want $4,000 Melons.

Fifty thousand big, ripe, juicy wa
termelons for the $4,000 veterans are
wanted by the Veteran Reunion AS
sociation, and from letters received at
headquarters yesterday, it is evident
that the melons will not be missing
when the veterans come the Atlanta.
During the war days in Atlanta,
when shells were dropping into the
streets and cannon balls were crashing
through the house tops, veterans sat
about in the shade Of the trees, and
while they cleaned their guns with
one hand, they ate Georgia water
melons with the other. Georgia wa
termelons and the war are mutually
to many who were in the battle of At
lanta.
"This is fact, said Colonel Wad-
dell yesterday in talking about the
melons. "It would be disappoint-
ment to the veterans to invite them
to come to Atlanta without assuring
them that they would have all the
watermelons they could eat, and we
are not going to disappoint them,
either. I want the Constitution to
publish our appeal to every water
melon grower in the State of Georgia
that We want melons of all sorts and
and varieties, as we'll as shapes and
sizes. We have already been promised
several car loads, but this will not be
enough and we want more. Just say
that one Of the best and most accep-
table donations to the entertainment
fund will be car load of nice water
melons.
The melons will be served at Ex-
position park and it is quite probable
that since the melon movement has
reached It's present immense proper
tions tnat part Of one of the days Of
the reunion will be set apart and an
old fashioned watermelon cutting will
be given, at which patriotic speeches
will be made and martial music rem
dered.-Atlanta Constitution.

FEVER.
A Few Words Of Warming.

Persons who may be exposed to yell
low fever and others living in districts
liable to be infected by it will find that
timely and intelligent preparation is
the best means Of keeping this dread
full malady out of the family. SAM
tary regulations in the household are
Of the first importance. Clean up all
refuse matter, decaying vegetation or
cesspools. Drain off ponds, pools and
sinks. Burn vegetable offal from the
kitchen. Eat nothing but light, whole
some and easily digested food, avoid
ing green or over ripe fruits and vege-
tables. Lastly, be sure that the blood,
stomach and bowels Of every member
of the family is in healthy condition.
Irregularities in the system, such as
Indigestion, constipation, torpid liver,
invite disease to enter the body, and
in the case of yellow fever, renders
its progress more virulent and deadly.
This condition can be speedily remov-
ed and pure blood, good digestion and
regularity in the bowels re-established
by using Prickly Ash Bitters, the
great System Regulator. The fre-
quent use of this remedy in doses
suited to the age Of each person will
maintain perfect health in the family.
Get bottle at once while the fever is
yet afar off, use it faithfully and reg
ularly. Prompt action NOW in put
ting yourself and family in condition
to resist the disease germs may spare
you suffering and sorrow. Prickly
Ash Bitters can be obtained at Evans
Pharmacy.

General Joseph Wheeler greatly
distinguished himself last Friday.
He was to have commanded the Amer
ican centre. He was too unwell, how
ever, to assume his post at the opening
of the fight, and General Sumner COM
manded in his stead. Unable to rec
oncile himself to the idea ofremaining
in his tent while serious work was
going on, at II o'clock the old general
got into an ambulance and started to
the front. After short distance the
ambulance met some wounded soldiers,
being borne to the rear on litters.
Immediately General Wheeler got out
ofthe ambulance, and against the pro-
test of the surgeon in attendance, as
sisted the wounded men into the vehi-
Gle. Then he mounted his horse and
started again for the front. The men
who witnessed the incident burst into
frantic cheers, others took it up, and
all along the line there we're hurrahs
for the old Confederate. By noon,
although still very i'll, General Wheel
er had established his headquarters at
the extreme front and centre Of the
line, and he held his position during
the balance Of the day.

Seven Ways Of Giving.

First, the careless way. To give
something to every cause that is pre-
sented without inquiring into its
merits.
Second, the impulsive way. To
give from impulse-as much and as
often as love and piety and sensibility
prompt.
Third, the lazy way. 10 make q
special offer to earn money for benevo-
lent objects by fairs, festivals, etc. :
Fourth, the sclf-denying way. To
save the cost of luxuries and apply
them to purposes Of religion and
charity. This may lead to ascetism
and self-complacence.
Fifth, the systematic way. 10 lay
aside as an Offering to God a definite
portion Of our gains-one-tenth, one
fifth, one-third, or one-half. This is
adapted to all, whether rich or poor,
and gifts would be largely increased if
it were generally practiccd.
Sixth, the equal way. 10 give to
God and the needy as much as we
spend on ourselves, balancing our per-
sonal expenditures by our gifts.
Seventh, the heroic way. TO limit
our own expenditures to a certain
sum, and give away all the rest of our
income. This was John Weslcy's s
way.-Dr. 4. 7. Pearson, IN the Pres
Ll,inriuu RcrieM.

pretty little girl very near to death.
Perhaps it would not have been so
hard upon the mother but for. the
memories that the little girl started
by her appeals:
Mamma, do tell papa to come to
his little Anna-she is so sick, so
sick. -
So it went for all the night, the
mother weeping and the little girl
"Do come, papa; do come: your lit
tie Anna is so sick. -
The doctor came and said that Anna
had typhoid fever: and would linger
for long time. The mother wrote to
the soldier father, then in Virginia,
and told him all the story-how the
little girl was so sick and Of how she
called for him. The father tried hard
for furlough, but it could not be
had, and his little Annie died, never
understanding why her papa did not
come. What that poor mother suffer-
ed can never be measured by words,
but she was but little thought Of in
the great hustle and excitement of the
war. Let the poor women Of this war
have much of our consideration-she
cannot get too much.
While I was reading about the ad-
vance upon Santiago, a thousand
memories rushed upon me to recall
the advance of the army upon Allan
ia. 1t was little strange, but as l
contemplated the fleeing Of the Span
iards from the Cuban city, the blazing
Of houses and the tumbling Of walls,
at every turn there came to me as
fresh as the day the efforts Of an old
cat to save her kittens. The fire had
driven this old cat from place to place,
but every time she carried her kittens.
So, after she had sheltered through
the crowds with kitten in her mouth,
then to return and appear again with
another kitten, that the fre-fghters
had ceased to scare her and she had
gained respect almost human for her
devotion to her young. Driven from
block to block, she was at last cut of
and given up for lost, when she ap-
peared at window of the burning
building and with a kitten in her
mouth leaped for the street. Every
man was fireman in those days, and
some one caught the old cat as she
came to the ground and saved cat and
kitten. I never knew what became of
them, but am sure there was never
braver fight than the fight she made to
save her young.
If we are to have a war, 1 am glad
to see the women begin to get en-
Unused, for surely there can be moth
ing gained unless the women are In 1T.
