HIS HAIR STOOD UP.
Experience Of Prospector on Facing
Four Mountain Lions.

''Twice in my life, up to five years
ago, l had felt my hair crawl" said
the prospector. "but as to its standing
on end l didn't believe such a thing
possible. l was knocking about the
mountains of Idaho with a partner,
when l went out alone one day to
pop over some game for the dinner
pot. l had gone a mile or more from
camp and had descended to the bot
tom of ravine to get a drink Of
water. when | turned the top of a
fallen tree and ran plump against as
pretty sight as you ever saw.
'On grassy spot, in the full blaze
of the sun. lay four mountain lions
fast asleep. For half minute I
thought them dead, but as l stood
staring with my mouth open every
one of the four sprang up with
growl. l had Winchester in my
hands, but l could no more have lift
ed it to my face than l could have up
rooted the mountain. The first sensa.
ton l had caught me in the ankles.
1t was a numbness, as if my feet were
asleep, and it travelled upward until
l stood there like block of ice. Only
my brain was left clear. On top of the
numbness came feeling that l was
breaking out with rash. Then the
hair at the back of my neck began 10
curl and twist and crackle and a min
ute later every hair on my head was
on end. 1 had soft felt hat, and 1
am sure that hat was lifted up an inch
or two.
''As to the lions, they stood there,
head on to me and shifting and growl-
ing and switching their tails, and had
but moved finger they would have
been on me. l didn't move, because
I couldn't; l don't believe l moved an
eyelash for three minutes. BY and by
one of the beasts dropped his tail and
whined. My unexpected presence and
queer appearance mystified him. His
actions were followed by another, and
ten seconds later the four made a
sneak down the ravine, growing and
whining as they went They had been
gone a minute before l felt my blood
circulating again, and perhaps it was
another minute before | could move
about. Then l found my hat ON the
ground at my feet. There wasn't
breath of wind down there, and if my
hair didn't lift the hat off my head
how did it leave it? l know the hat
was pushed off. | know it, because
when l got back to camp my hair
hadn't yet flattened down, and when
my chum rubbed his hand over my
head there was a cracking as of q
rabbit running through the dry brush.
This state of things continued for two
days, and the way | finally got the
scare out of the hair was to rub on
about q pint of coon'S fat and heat 1t
az the camp fire."-St Louis Republic.

FOREST FLOWERS.
How the Helpless Little Beauties Are
Being Exterminated.

Our forests are fast disappearing.
In their sheltering shade and the rich
mould of their annually decaying
leaves, the greater number of our low
lier plants are found; and when the
axe comes, that cruel weapon that
wars upon natures freshness, and the
noble oak, the elm, the beech, the
maple, and the tulip tree fall with
loud crash in the peaceful solitude,
even the very birds can understand
that floral death klell sounds
through the melodious wilderness.
A number of our choicest plants are
threatened with extinction; for as the
woods are cleared away these tender
offsprings, the pretty flowers which
we SO dearly cherish, will perish ut
terly. 1t is, therefore, well to prevent
as far as possible, the destruction of
our native forests. as we'll as to plant
forest trees, if for no other purpose
than the preservation of the little
helpless, blooming beauties that adorn
