BATTLE IN THE WOODS.
Remarkable Duel Between r Big See~
and Bull Caribou.

The only enemies the caribou has
to fear among wild animals are the
black bear and the lynx. The latter
is very destructive to the young in the
spring and summer months. The eft.
forts of bruin in stalking and pulling
down unwary stragglers from the herd
are more successful than is commonly
supposed. In the mating season,
however, the bull caribou, like the
goat that tackled the grindstone, has
the courage of his convictions, and,
unless taken unawares, is apt to give
the bear very stiff argument Adam
Moore. of Scotch Lake, New Bruins
wick, in October, 1897, was the wit
ness of remarkable battle between a
large black bear and a bull caribou.
From subsequent examination OF the
ground it appeared that the bull was
accompanied by three COWS and
fawn. The bear had evidently crept
up on the fawn and killed 1t with one
stroke of his paw, when the bull ap-
peared and attacked the bear in a
most valiant manner, the COWS run
ming off in the bush. Adam had just
padded up the dead-water from camp
and was lifting his canoe over an old
beaver dam when he heard rumpus
on the bank few rods up stream. He
padded close to the combatants, but
they paid no heed to his presence.
The bear refused to give up the dead
fawn. but seemed to be handicapped
by guilty conscience. Whining as
if in protest at the unfriendly treat.
ment he was receiving, he sat
bolt upright defending himself
with his fore paws as the agile
caribou circled him. The latter ami
NAL seemed to be wild with rage, and
his movements, as he tried to impale
the bear, were SO rapid that Adam
could scarcely follow him. The bear
parried the blows of his assailant
adroitly, but wore a bored expression
as if he really wished. q general dis.
armament as long as nobody inter.
.fered with him. Adam noticed that
the caribou's neck was bleeding from
an open wound and that the bear had
been gored in the breast and flank.
Anxious as he was to see the issue OF
the fight, his sympathy for the caribou
was too strong to be resisted and he
brought down the bear with we'll
aimed shot. Even when his enemy
was dead the caribou continued to
strike at him with his saucer-like
hoofs, while Adam silently watched
him from the deadwater. Then, being
apparently convinced that he had slain
his hated foe, the bull uttered loud
grunt of triumph and rambled off in
search of the harem.

FAREWELL,

FAREWELL What words OF mine may say
What in my heart feelP
While on my heartstrings pain doth play,
And Fate's cold hand OF steel.
Unnoticed by the world, we part;
Our souls may not reveal
The pain at which we fam would start
For on US rests seal.
A seal which only makes Love mute;
1t stiles not, nor dies,
But e'er awaits to touch its lutte,
And breathe again its signs.
What cries Of woe 1 made you speak
o tell me you forgivel
We're days OF yours by me made bleak
For SUMMER ones we'll live.
Unknown the bonds that US unite,
Too strong for Fate to sever,
Enduring through Times ceaseless fight
They hold us firm forever.
So smile, then, when look the word,
That silent, l must tell,
As If some message sweet you've heard,
And not this sad farewell
M. D. W.

The spirit of trade-unionism has en-
tered into the Alumni Association oil
the Allegheny General Hospital,
which is the name of an organization
Of trained nurses in Pittsburg. At a
recent meeting it was voted that the
uniform price for nursing should be
800 week, and that any member OF
the association violating the rule
should be suspended, for the first of
fence, and expelled for the second.
To the credit of some of the nurses,
i should be said that the action was
.aken against much opposition, says
The New York Post. A minority,
numbering nearly one-half of those
present at the meeting, protested that
heir right to fix the price for their
services should not conflict with their
light to membership in the associa-
lion. 1t was also argued that nursing

;, AMERICAN FLAG MAKING,
a Business Already Large Which Recent
Events Have Made SIN Larger.

Events Have MADE Stiu Larger.
There are thirty flag factories in the
United States of which more than one
half are in the State of New York and
nave an invested capital of $500, 900
md pay in wages nearly 100000 q
year. states the Sun. Many other
iags than those used for patriotic
decoration or display are made in this
country. There are the railroad
aags, of which enormous numbers are
in use. These signal flags come in
two sizes, eighteen by twenty inches
and eighteen by tw enty-four inches.
There are, it is said, more red than
green signal flags and more green
than white. Other cheap flags in
general use are for yachts, for use by
contractors and railroad builders, for
steamships and auctioneers and for
social societies. The United States,
having great cosmopolitan popsla-
lion, especially in the large cities, it
is no unusual thing in times of cele-
bration or festivity to see flags of for
sign countries displayed-foreign flags
Of American make. There are, for in
stance, more Irish flags with the gold
harp on the green background made
in the United States thar in any other
country, and for many years all the
! Cuban flags in use by the struggling
patriots of that island have been made
far them in the United States.
There are three flag factories in the
C+oEn 90 ioio and Nh 10
factory in South Carolina. For many
years Massachusetts, took the most
prominent part, perhaps, in Ameri.
can flag making, the local supply of
bunting being abundant, but New
York has recently much exceeded it in
this business and the State of Penn
sylvania does considerable in the flag
making line, too. Bunting in use for
dag making is of two kinds, the wool
en- bunting, which is the better vari-
ETY., and the cotton bunting, which is
cheaper, less durable and less orna-
mental. The bunting comes in rolls.
The man who cuts it into the re-
luired widths for the stripes meas
ures off the widths on the rolls with a
butchers knife. That ends the mas
,uline labor on flags, for thereafter
Ill the work of sewing, stitching and
aemming is done by girls. They are
better fitted for the work than are
men; they show greater care and more
skill; their salaries are less, and they
Ire said to have a knack at fag-mak-
ng. The profits of flag making in the
United States, already considerable in
lines OF peace, have been largely aug
nented by the incidents Of the recent
war.

The effectiveness of American in
dustrial competition with Germany
has rarely been stated more clearly
than in the speech delivered in the
Reichstag by the German Secretary Of
the Interior. It is not surprising
that our iron and steel goods, as vel
as boots and shoes, have been able tC
make Roadway in German markets
but textile industries also are feeling
the pressure of our competition, ant
cred that this is the line in which
German competition has been mos
feared in our own markets. 1t II
known that German processes o
manufacture in certain lines of textil,
goods are more advanced and econ
omical than elsewhere, and this ad
mission in the Reichstag is, therefore
one of the most significant tributes
ever paid to American skill. Th'
German Minister went so far as TO ad
NIT that, in comparing his own coun
Try with Great Britain in regard to
American competition, the former was
in the worst case, as Great Britain
chiefly imported cereals and raw ma
terials. Facts like these account fol
German good will. if no other could
be adduced. In these days industrial
pressure of one power upon another
gives the clue to diplomacy.

Nhe U. ks shipbuilding.

The shipbuilding trade of the
United Kingdom last year shows
progression, almost unexampled
from 1864 vessels of 49,, 267 tons
finished in 1897 to 1870 of 695, 997
tons completed last year. Con
struction of iron and wooden YES
sells shows fair increases, but the
great advance is in steel vessels,
SAG steam and sailing vessels be-
ing completed last year, as
against 5S7 in the year before.
The tonnage of these has also
gone up from 456,599 to 663,53S
tons. In these totals the ships
built for the Royal navy and for
foreigners are not included. Glas-
gov and Sunderland divide the
first places, the former having
constructed most vessels-175, of
1929 tons, the latter SO, of a
greater aggregate of 1889 tons.
1t would be a mistake, however,
to suppose that Sunderland takes
precedence of the Clyde, for
Greenock, with % vessels of 49,
716 tons, and Port Glasgow, with
"a vessels of 51,631 tons, must be
reckoned to complete the com
parison. Thus, the Clyde easily
takes the lead. se9WE
