II Killed the Bear.

A man who had experience In Alaskn
was listening to group of citizens dis
cussing the weather and broke in on
the talk thus:
"Pshaw. yon fellows don't know what
changeable weather Is. You think it's
always cold in Alaska, do you? Well
just let me tell you little personal ex'
perence of mine. One day ! went
hunting with n party Of miners. The
weather was quite warm when we
started, and I perspired freely. Sun
denly 1t turned bitterly cold, and large
lclcles formed on my whiskers Il had
grown a full heardl. Crossing a small
canyon. came face to face with Big,
ugly looking bear. | had nothing but
powder In my gun. and the man with
the cartridges was away behind me, so
as a desperate resort | rammed the
lcicles from my beard into the gun and
blazed away"
"And what happenedY said one OF
the crowd eagerly.
"NVhy, | struck him squarely in the
head and killed him."
"Kllled him? Impossible!" chorused
the crowd.
but it did, | tell you. The tempera-
ture suddenly turned warm AGAIN, melt

The Dust of Oceuu.

A "dusty" ocean highway sounds al
most incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed down in the morning and
how little work of any kind may be
done during ,he day nevertheless II the
decks are not swept at nightfall an
enormous quantity of dust will quickly
collect. OF course on the modern
elmer the burning of hundreds of tons
of coal every 24 hours and the myriads
of footballs daily would account for
considerable accumulation of dust. but
on wind jammer," manned with
dozen hands or less. no such dust pro-
ducing agencies are at work. And yet
the records of sailing ships show that
they collect more sea dust than does
steamer, which is probably accounted
for by the fact that while the dust
laden smoke blows clear of the steamer
the large area of canvas spread by the
sailer acts as dust collector.-Mari-

Renting LOcomotiyes.

Hundreds of locomotives ere rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out on
the rental form of payment-that is,
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy a stove on Install
ments-so much down, SO much a
month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. 1t is seldom,
however. that a railroad rents locomo-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail-
ways for hauling dirt from excava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as usual thing. are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines. but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only tit to haul gravel or
wood trains.-Philadelph Record.

The educational structure for which,
.aking advantage of the toleration Of
government, the hedge schuolmaster
abandoned his nj fresco establishment,
was a very humble one OF its kind.
The peasantry, animated by tie ST o"s
Irish love of learning, built 1t for him.
just as In modern days they assemble
and build huts for evicted It nants,
1t was not a very formidable under
taking. A deep, dry ditch or trench by
the roadside was usually selected for
the site. AT the side of the trench an
excavation of the requisite area was
dug, so that the clay bank formed three
sides of the Enclosure, This saved the
trouble of building walls. Then the
fourth side, or front side wall, with q
door and two windows, was built Of
green sods laid in courses, while sim
liar sods raised the back to the requlr-
ed height and pointed the gable ends.
Young trees and wattles cut from the
nearest wood and bound together with
straw ropes and withes formed the
roof timbers. over these were spread
brambles, then came layer Of
"scraws." or slabs of healthy log sur
face, and over all thatching Of rush
es. The ealthen floor was pared 70 an
approach to a level. the rubbish cleared
away, and pathway made to the pub
lie road. There was your hedge school

DIVIDENDS BEING PAID
OVER 100000 AROUND FIRST OF
MONTH.
Complaint of Stockholders That
Amount is Not Larger-Mr. Dilling-
ham Placing Olaa Bonds.

Something over 100000 in dividends
will be paid out by the plantations to-
day, tomorrow and Wednesday. OF the
amount $257, 900 will come from the
larger estates
1t is a surprise to many that the total
amount of dividends this month is not
over a half million.
Mr.. Dillingham's chief business at
San Francisco seems to be to place a
part or all of the l,250, 900 bonds of Oaa
plantation which it is purposed to au-
thorize. The promoter will be back on
the Australia, and a meeting of stock
holders will be held on Wednesday to
decide about the bonds. Mr.. Dilling-
ham has inserted i'm the San Francisco
papers a whole page reading notice in
regard to the bonds. The advertisement
is gotten up in the form of an inter-
view. 1t is figured that the notice in all
of the papers must have cost the pro-
moter $50, 900 or more.

TO HELP CHINESE REFUGEES.
Subscription Lists Started to Raise the
Necessary Funds.


The movement to raise funds for the
aid of destitute missionaries who are
arriving in Japan from China, has met
with great favor, and already a good
sized amount has been raised. Miss
Montague, who is a guest of Mrs. S. N.
Castle, received a letter by the last
mail from a friend in Japan. This
friend asked for the assistance of Miss
Montague in raising funds for the refu-
ges who were arriving on every boat
that comes from China. The letter said
that while the missionaries and church
people throughout Japan and Yokoha-
ma, where the writer resided were only
too happy to help their suffering work.
ers, their funds were not adequate
enough to do so, and it was necessary
to appeal to the Christian world. Many
of the refugees, the writer said, came
without funds or clothes, and We're in
dire distress.
Miss Montague called the attention of
the leading ministers of this city to the
contents of the letter and requested
their assistance in raising money. The
preachers responded from their pulpits,
and announced the situation. Subscrip-
ton lists were given to w. l.. Hopper,
w. w. Hall and T. G.. Thrum, where
donations will be received. Although
the lists have been out only since this
morning, over $4,000 had been raised by
noon. Most of this had been given in
large amounts, although some smaller
contributions had been received. Ev-
cry one is invited to give whatever they
feel justified in contributing, no mat
ter how small the amount may be. The
money will be forwarded without delay
to Yokohama, where it will be disbursed
to the best advantage. The subscription
lists will remain open indefinitely in
order that those who do not give money
in time for the next boat to the Orient
can have the satisfaction of knowing
that their money will go on a later boat
when the need will be equally as great.
