April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged tor eight years, at the same place, as follows; For November 7S1l degrees and 42 degrees, December 73H degrees and 36H degrees, January 651l degrees and S2 degrees, Feb ruary 7ll degrees and 35h de rees' March SI 1a degrees and Al degrees and April S61l degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat Is not needed during the day, but it Is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand.
 The atmosphere IS singularly clear, tonic and dry. I have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same braciug and exhiiarating ! qualities as the air of the Great Sahara ln Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It IS much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drlel than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems tC me about the same in quality as the air or the Nile between Assouan and Wady Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

If they only had revolutions and rebel
lions and wars on the South American
plan in other parts of the world it would
be possible TO have more of them and
thus add to the excitement and gayety
of nations. In Venezuela, for instance,
all the plans are made for another upris-
ing, and so perfect is the stage manage
ment of the spectacle that there is every
assurance that there will be no fighting
when the government is overturned.
The present ruler viii simply bide his
time and watch for an opportunity to
sneak into the state house again when
no one is looking.

a BriIliant Feat OF Arms.

Cape Town, Oct. 23.-Dispatches re-
ceived from the front regarding the
capture of Elandslaagte show it to have
been brilliant feat of arms. The Beers
were strongly entrenched and fought
with their wOnted bravery. They seized
every opportunity of coming into ac-
tion and ran to serve their guns when
ever they could get chance.
The news of Gen. French's victory at
Elandslaagte caused great enthusiasm.
The newspapers were quickly on the
streets with special editions and the
people left the churches in order to get
the details of the fighting.
The Boer loss must have been very
heavy. The best estimates place it at
over 400 killed.

Some Vienna savants were lately con-
fronted with a language difficulty. A
young girl, unknown, was found uncon-
seious in a street at Presbourg. and was
conveyed to the hospital at Vienna, where
she recovered consciousness and began to
speak in language which no one present
could understand The doctors came to
the conclusion that the young woman was
a native of an Eastern country. Conse-
quenty some professors from the Orient
school were called in, and they were all
agreed that the girl did not speak cor
rect language, but a dialect The profess
sor of Persian held that she spoke Per-
sian dialect, and that he understood II.
Another professor was OF opinion that
1t was an Abyss.nian dialect. third was
convinced that II was Turkish patois.
Since the sayants were not agreed, the
police deemed it necessary to make in
quiries. with the result that the stranger
was proved to be a Hungarian. who had
escaped from a prison, and who did not
understand word of Persian, Abyssinian
or Turkish.-London Globe.

Musical pitch.

The question is once more being raised
in this country of the desirablity of a uni
form musical pitch. Some years ago the
Philharmonic Society in London decided to
lower the pitch of its orchestra to that
universal on the Continent; and, although
there was some confusion at first, the wis
dom of that movement is now acknowl-
edged. The great bar to the common
adoption of the lower pitch is that it's
acceptance would render necessary the
provision OF new instruments by the var
ious military bands throughout the coun-
try, and the alteration at great expense
Of organs, both In concert halls and in
churches.
Pianoforte manufacturers have hitherto
held q neutral position in this matter of
alteration Of pitch, but now, on the initia-
tive OF Messrs. Brentwood q Sons. they
are nearly all expressing their willingness
to adopt the lower pitch, provided that
the movement Is a general one. The exact
pitch of a sound can be accurately meas
ured by its number of vibrations per sec
ond; thus, the old pitch would mean for
the note A piano wire giving 454 vibra-
tons at a temperature OF IS degrees Fab
renheit, while the lower pitch which it is
proposed to adopt this autumn would mean
only 439 vibrations for the same note.
The matter is one of great importance to
singers, who have now to strain their
voices In order to reach higher altitude
than that intended by the composer
whose works they interpret. for those
compositions were written when the pitch
was even lower than that now to be
adopted as the standard.-Chambers' Joui-
nal.

house and barn and drove Off her cattle,
but she never gave up the struggle. she
kept her pursuers at bay with her rifle,
and covered her retreat to the nearest
neighbor, five miles to the south. 1t was
the last outbreak of the Indians, but it
cost Mrs. Bowman her all. and the Federal
government is still delaying for her claim
for reimbursement. She moved further
south into Mendocino county and took up
her present home.
There were so many bears on the ridge
that they ate the sheep and hogs and even
the chickens. and the brave woman watch
ed her own brood that none OF them was
carried away. The children have all grown
up and married except Bog and Mary.
Mary is almost as famous hunter as her
brother, and many of the pelts which go
to the city in the spring have her name
written inside. When any of the family
kills the mother bear It Is the inevitable
custom to bring home the cubs. To Mary
falls the duty of bringing them up. Pansy
is the only bear they have ever kept for
many years. but she became such a pet
that none of the family was willing to
part with her till she began to break her
chain and wander about creating havoc.
Then Bog hired an Indian to shoot and
bury her, pelt and fat and all. Sitting with
her apron full of apples Mrs. Bowman
would give them one at time to the
brute, rapping her smartly over the nose
If the bear showed .mpatience. But Mrs.
Bowman always got out OF range of the
great black-clawed paws before the end of
the apples was reached. Six feet tall, with
snow-white hair Mrs. Bowman steps over
the steep, rough trails about her home as
lightly as a boy, as II up there so near
the sky she had found the fountain of
eternal youth to nullify her 76 years OF
hardship.
Bog is like his mother, feet inches
tall; thin as an Indian. afraid of nothing
he has ever met. Simple, honest, hospit-
able, but with strange ideas of the ma
jesty of the law. They live at the top OF
the mountain ridge, owners Of all the lands
in sight from the height where the cabin
stands. Bog has laid down laws and who
ever comes within his domains must obey
them. No dog that noticed a deer could
stay longer than man who would shoot
a doe or yearling or a bird In the mating
season. Even a bear has it's rights. and
they must be respected.
And the ranch pays well. There are
from fifty to 100 pelts every year, and they
bring in from $40 to $50 each. The oil
from bear sells from $50 TO si0 Besides
jerked bear meat is very good, indeed,
and so Is bear steak when the bears have
lived on nuts or an occasional sheep or pig
for a sandwich. Add to these items an
occasional SIS or 500 for a cub. and as
farms go, Bowman's bear ranch pays with
