YELLOWSTONE PARK LIONS.
Soldiers Find Dangerous work In
Killing Them on.

There is strong regulation regarding
the absolute letting alone of wild things
in the park. 1t is proper intention to
let nature take its course, but still when
the superintendent clearly sees that a
band OF mountain lions will surely eat up
all the mountain sheep in very short
time it becomes necessary for the afore-
said official to thwart the law of the
mountain; also, when big grizzly gets
TO mixing up socially with the tourists,
Captain Brown has to step in in favor of
the latter, though | am not sure Of the
wisdom of this.
When these contingencies arise, the
two scouts, Whitaker and Morrison. grid
themselves with rifle and ski and pro-
coed to equalize things, during which
these two young men have some very ex-
citing experiences. Last winter they
killed Eve mountain lions at one time.
SO far this year Whitaker has bagged
three and is still hunting. lie has writ

we shot him in the air while he was

This is the simple story of the man
who is working to keep the Yellowstone
park for y,sterity. 1t is a pity the lions
can't he allowed to live, but they are too
expensive.
Now and then the death sentence goes
forth against some overconhdcnt grizzly,

Of feet above them.

OF feet above them.
On the most accessible Of these noun
tain pastures the peasants have erected
small huts as places Of refuge for the wo-
mon that herd the cattle in the noun
tains during the summer months. In
these huts, which are called "saeters" in
Norwegian, the milk is made into cheese
and butter.
Some of these grassy patches among
the powders are, however, inaccessible
TO the cattle, but 1t would never do to let
that excellent mountain grass, which pro-
duces such rich milk and gives such de-
licious flavor to the butter and the
cheese, go to waste. The sturdy peas
ant lads and lassies climb into the most
inaccessible places and cut the grass,
thus increasing their winter stores by
many tons of excellent hay.
very ingenious means OF transport
has been devised for getting the grass
from these meadows among the clouds
down into the valleys below, consisting Of
wire rope along which the bundles OF
grass are sent sliding down to the farms
OF the ford. The "lauparstreng, as this
contrivance is called, very often crosses
ford, and, besides bundles OF grass, it
may carry the produce OF the "saeters, +"
consisting OF big bundles OF white and
brown cheese, tubs of butter and barrels
of buttermilk. Magazine.

Bishop Whipple says that when he
went into the west to preach he was ex-
cecdingy anxious to reach artisans and
railway operatives, of whom there were
hundreds in Chicago. He called upon
William McAlpine. the chief engineer Of
the Galena railway, and asked his advice
as to the best way of approaching the
employees Of the road.
How much do you know about
steam engine" said McAlpine.
Nothing
Then" said McAlpine, "read Lard
ncr's Railway Economy until you are
able to ask an engineer n question about
a locomotive and he not think you
fool"
The clergyman had the practical sense
to scc the justice Of that advice. So he
read up and in due season went to the
roundhouse of the Galena railway, where
he found number of engineers standing
by n locomotive which the firemen were
cleaning. He saw that it was n Taunton
engine, with inside connections, and ask
ed ut a venture
(Which do you like best, inside or out
side conuections?"
This brought out information about
steam heaters and variable exhausts. and
in half an hour he had learned more than
his book had ever taught him. When he
snid Coodby, he added;
Boys, whore do you go to church? |
have a free church in Metropolitan hall,
where | shall be glad to see you, and if
at any time you need me l shall be glad
to go to y0u.'

What Troubles Smith.

Eighteen months ago Scott Smith. col
ored, OF indianapolis was horribly burned
by the bursting Of a coal oil lamp. Skilled
medical attention by many physicians
failed of relief Several days ago he
was transferred to the City hospital. and,
as IL last resort. in was decided to try
the grating process with the skins of
freshly laid eggs.
After the portions had been cleanscd
with antiseptc lotion the eggs were care
fully broken, the yolk and albumen were
emptied out. and then the filmy skin wa,
taken out and placed over the Injured
portions Examination has disclosed that
the fine capillaries OF the blood have come
ont Of the wounds and into the skin and
that, to all intents and purposes, the skin
of the egg is now part of Smiths body,
susceptible to heat and cold to touch.
The blood circulated through the new
skin as it did through the old, but the
new skin retains It's original velvety
Wilderness. and il may be that the pig
mcnt which colors a neGro's skin will not
enter the new issue.
Smith is much alarmed over the situa'
ton. fearing that feathers will appear
where the new skin was formed, and he
is continually watching the progress OF
the affected parts with the aid of hand
glass, looking for feathery sprouts

A Historic Church Burned.

ST. James rectory, near Friendship,
Md, has just been burned. The commun-
ion service belonging to the church and
presented by Queen Anne in 1902 was
destroyed, as was also the silver bnptis-
NAL bowl given by Mrs. Loche many
years since. The church records dating
from 1857 were also destroyed. The aims
plate presented to st. James by the wife
of the first rector. the Rev. Henry Hall,
in 1872, was also destroyed. This rec
tory was probably the last of the old rec
tories in southern Maryland and was a
commodous, hiproofed building.
