girl had not the air unapproachable IL
her manners were good.
"Saucy." said the girl, brilliantly.
Corsan hoped this was not the gauge
OF her mental acumen.

This delicate relegation of her social

Corsan ventured when the time

There was leap of astonished de-

ALASKA'S BROWN BEARS.
They Are Good Road makers and Furnish
Dangerous sport for the Hunter.

"The brown bear is the great road
maker of the Alasta peninsula" said
guide of many years experience in
That region. Not only are the banks
OF the streams trOd1en into good trails
by the huge, lumbcring brutes. but the
swampy plains are crossed in every
direction by paths leading to the hills.
The traveller will do well to follow
them in journcying across the country,
as they invariably lead to the best
fording places of streams and form
the easiest routes to the hills. The
northern side of tie Kenai peninsula,
bordering the shores of Cook Inlet
Kaodiak Island and the Alaskan pen
inSula as far west as Uniak Island are
favorite stamping grounds of the
Alaska brown bear. He is n huge,
shaggy animal. varying in length from
six to twelve feet and weighing from
500 to loo pounds. This bear pos
sescs all the courage and fierceness
of his southern cousin, the grizzly, and
he has been hunted so little as yet
that he is absolutely fearless of man
and is an exceedingly dangerous ad-
vcrsary.
ON dealing with the Alaska brown
bear a hunter should never go alone.
a companion is ALMOST as essential as
a gun. If possible. a man well ac-
quaintcd with the peculiar habits of
this animal should be engaged to act
as guide. Good bear dogs are of
great assistance; but they must be
brought into the country by the hunter,
as there are very few dogs there.
There are no trees as far west as Port
age Bay, and the hunter must be ex-
ceedingly careful how he enters the
heavy thickets which cover the river
| bottoms, as the bears favor this kind

will unhesitatingly attack.

EARLY SPRAYING.

Advantages to BE Gained by Attending to
This Work in spring.
Fruit trees are usually sprayed in the
summer, if at all; but the best authori-
ties are now unanimous in recommend.
ing that these sprayings be preceded by
sn application made in early spring be-
fore the leaves start. This is primarily
to fOrestall the various fungi. scab,
blights and molds. Though these dis
eases do not appear till later in the sum
mer, their spores or germs are already
in the orchard, usually lodged in the
rough bark or In the creYices of branches.
The two most important and most
common diseases thus met with are the
apple scab, which causes the familiar
black spots on leaves and fruit. and the
apple canker, which causes the black
rot of the fruit and has recently been
proven 10 be the cause of the canker of
the limbs. Both these diseases and
many others of less Importance are best
reached and killed by spraying before
the buds unfold.
The best remedy for all fungous dis
eases is the Bordeaux mixture. The
method of making this as recommended
by the Vermont Experiment station is to
Stake four pounds of fresh lime in 30
gallons of water and add six pounds of
blue vitriol, taking care that it dissolves
fully. For early spring spraying,
recommended above, however, the lime
may be omitted and the spraying done
with a solution of blue vitriOl alone, one
pound to - gallons of water. If the
buds have started it will be necessary to
add the lime to prevent injury to the
tree.
These applications are made most
conveniently with good force pump
provided with fine spray nozzle, such
as may be bought of any of the numerous
firms dealing in spraying machinery.
In addition to the various fungi
against which this spring spraying is
directed there are many insects which
are best killed before the leaves appear.
This is particularly true of the oyster
shell bark louise, which is abundant and
injurious in nearly every orchard in the
state of Vermont. Examine your apple
trees carefully and you may very likely
find them covered with small gray
scales, inconspicuous because their

Good housekeeping is easy house
keeping, and if woman wears herself
into shreds and tatters keeping house
the case is proven against her." writes
Helen Watterson Moody in the April
Ladies' Home journal. ut Is precisely
in her ability to guard against this
contingency that the housewife shows
herself not only good executive officer
but as veil woman with ideals and a
sense Of propOrtion-one who does not
forget that housekeeping is a means to
home making, not an end in itself-that
the most perfect administration of do
nestle matters will not make a family
happy in whom the love and spirit of
home do not dwell. Home-not only a
place to eat and sleep and work in, but a
place to be happy in, a place to rest in
and to be soothed, place in which TO
love and be loved, place for conf
dences, and counsel, and strengthening
words, and hope, and heartening. 1t is
good thing, and noble thing, and
a satisfying thing to be a good house
keeper; there is no profession of which
and in which woman can be so proud,
and when SO blessed in head and heart
and hand as to be able to make and keep

ALAMEDA 5 SHORT STAY

The Alameda made a short stay
here this trip and kept consignees,
shippers and passengers on the jump.
She was sighted last night little
after 10 o'clock and sailed this morn
ing about 10. Head winds between
Apia and this port We're the cause Cf
the delay.
The Ala'tedH brought quite a nuin.
ber of passengers for Honolulu.
Among them are James and John
Muir sons of the famous Scotch dis
tiiler; F. Wilson who represents the
newly developed brandy distilling in
dustry of Australia: j. T. Duff, 4.
Parry and Mr.. Smith.
Among the through passengers
were Rev. j. Walker one of the best
known clergymen of Victoria and his
wife; Lieutenant Kremlow of the
German navy who has been in service
on the China station, and started
home on the Comorant which was
lately disabled at sea; f. +. Baume
one of the leading barriseters of New
Zealand: A. Denny, son of the well
known ship builder; Prof. Brown of
Canterbury College, New Zealand and
II. Borthwick son of the Sir a. Borth-
wick the great London dealer in fro
zen meats.
Among the passengers who sailed
by the Alameda were w. W. Umsted,
Commissioner from the Omaha expo
sition, his wife and son; Mrs. Titus
and her three children; and Prof. A.
Marques.
The Alameda brought Mrs. Cham
bers, wife of the Chief Justice of Sa-
moa, and her son and daughter back
to Apia from New Zealand.
The band was at the wharf to play
the Alameda off, and made quite a hit
with the Georgia Campmeeting,"
which few of the passengers from the
colonies had ever heard.
