"HUNGRY AS A BEAR"
How Bruin Subsists in the Sierra
Mountains.

John Muir in the Atlantic.
In this happy land no famine comes
nigh the Sierra bear. All the year
round his bread is sure, for some of the
thousand kinds that he likes are al
ways in season and accessible, ranged
on the shelves of the mountains like
stores in a pantry, From one to the
other, from climate to climate, up and
down he climbs, feasting on each
in turn, enjoying as a great variety as
if he travelled to far-Off countries north
and south. To him. almost everything
is food except granite. Every tree
helps to feed him, and every bush and
herb, with fruits and flowers, leaves
and bark, and almost everything liv-
ing or dead within reach, animals and
inSects-badgers, gophers, ground
squirrels lizards, snakes, etc, and
ants, bees, wasps, old and young, to-
gethre with their eggs and larvae, and
their moss grass, and paper nests.
Craunched and hashed, down all go
to his marvellous stomach, and vanish
as if cast into a fire. What digestion!
A sheep or a wounded deer or a pig
he eats warm about as quickly as boy
eats buttered muffin: or should the
meat be a month old, it still is well
coined with tremendous relish. After
so gross a meal as clover or raspber-
ries with mushrooms and nuts, or
puckery acorEs and choke-Cherries.
And, as If fearing that anything eat
able in all his dominions should es-
cape being eaten he breaks into cabins
to look after sugar, dried apples, bacon,
etc; and if still hungry, he eats the
mourtaineor's bed, but when he has
had a full meal or more tempting dain-
ties he usually leaves it undlsturhed,
though he has been known TO drag it
up through hole in the roof, carry it
! to the foot of tree, and lie down on it
! TO enjoy a siesta. Eating everything,
never Is he himself eaten except by
! man, and man alone is an enemy to be
! feared "Bar meat" said hunter from
whom / was seeking information,-"ba
meat is the best meat In the noun
| tains their skin makes the best beds
and their grease the best butter. Bis
cult shortened with bar grease goes as

Two Men.

Rev. w. A. Nordt, the beloved pastor
of the Hickory Street Presbyterian
church, has observed for many years past
each recurring anniversary of his birth
day and yesterday did the same, 1t being
the forty-ninth one and few, if any i'll the
past have ever been so complete or en-
joyable.
His cosy residence on Hickory street
was thronged from early In the morning
until late at night by mis- pariShiOners
and hundreds of friends of every denomi-
nation who called to extend their con-
gratulations and well wishes, hoping sin
cerely that Rev. Nordt would enjoy many
happy returns of the day in the future as
u man and especially as the guiding spirit
of his present charge.
Rev. NOrdt received those who called in
his usual pleasant and able manner. In
diCating his appreciation of their kind
ness He was also remembered by his
flock In a more substantial manner. The
Ladies' Aid society, thej strongest church
organization of that influential congrega-
ton, through whose sole efforts the beau
tful parsonage was erected, presented
him with handsome roll top desk. Upon
opening it the much surprised recipient
found a letter from the society wherein It's
compliments were rendered him. Con-
gratulations, we'll wishes and the asking
OF GOu's blessing upon their pastor were
therein expressed.
From the young people of the congre-
cation he received a complete shaving
outfit. Letters of Congratulation and
| floral tributes were sent in abundance.
The Second German Presbyterian church
Of Newark, n. j., of which congregation
he was a former pastor, sent several
kilograms of a congratulatory nature,
On July 10 next. Rev. Mr.. Nordt will
have served in the ministry of the gos-
pei twenty-five years He was ordained
by the Newark Presbytery. Immediate
1y following his ordination ne was called
to the Second German Presbyterian
church at Newark. where he had
preached one year previous to his ordna-
/ tion. For twenty-five years he ministered
to that flock, and three years ago he ac-
| cepted the call to his present pastorate
| The work he has accomplished here is
inestimable. Rev. Mr. Nordt and his am
liable wife and nine children, six daugh.
ters and three sons, enjoy the deepest re-
spect of all who know them

Druggist d. NJ. Jones, whose place or
business is located at the corner OF
South Main avenue and Hampton
street went to his home on the corner
of Eynon street, after closing the store
at II. 80 o'clock Sunday night, and short
" afterwards heard someone at the
rear door, Thinking it was someone
who wanted a prescription filled, he
went to the door, and, opening it, was
surprised to find a middle-aged
stranger standing there, whose actions
were very suspicious. The stranger did
not knock at the door and seemed sur
prised. also, to have been discovered.
What his purpose was is not known,
but it Is believed he was trying to gain
an entrance TO the house. When Mr..
Jones asked him what he wanted. he
hesitatingly made inquiries for some
one who was not known in the neigh
horhood. Receiving a negative an
ewer he hastily departed.
This is the second instance within a
week where intruders have been dis
covered in that neighborhood, but no
arrests have been made. 1t is not
known whether this is the same man
who frightened Mrs. j. ]. Davis, but
it is known that there is a gang of
midnight providers in the lower end of
the Fifteenth ward, and also in Belle
vue Heights, whose depredations have
been going on for some time. Not long
since thieves entered the hennery of
Henry Dagger, in Bellevue. and took
away several fowls. and killed the rest
of them. The premises of Henry owens
were also visited and several chickens
stolen, and all of his rabbits killed.
These occurrences demonstrate the
urgent need of more patrolmen in that
section. At present only one officer is
assigned to duty there and that post
includes the territory from Main ave-
nue. and Jackson streets south to the
Bellevue church, which is thickly popu-
lated.
