A DOGS PERSISTENCE.
flag Dos That Freed . Bear in California.

The mysterious disappearance of two valuable hounds owned by A. W. Combs, of Oakland, has been explained, and
 the story behind it proves one of the
 most remarkable cases of canine faith fulnesS and determination ever record ed. Combs was one of party of hunt
 CTS who returned a few days ago from a weeks hunting trip in the mountains back of Crescent City, Del Norte coun-
 ty, s1ys the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The party had taken along four
 hounds, which were missed during the
 first night in the mountains. They had evidently strayed away during the night and for the following four days the hunters were without their com paniOns. On the fourth day, however. two of the hounds returned to camp, the two belonging to Combs being fna-- ly given up for lost or stolen. When the hunters were ready to start for home they informed Superior Judge Cutler of the mysterious disappearance of the two hounds and requested him to advertise a reward for their return in his name
 One day subsequently MT. Combs re- ceived letter from Judge Cutler con veying the happy news that the hounds had been recovered. Judge Cutler writes that they were found in the mountains several miles from where the Oaklanders had been hunting by . miner, who had heard them barking for several days. The miner had gone to investigate and found two hounds hold , ing the fort at the base of large tree. into which bear had climbed for safety from their attack. This was nine days after they had been missed from the hunters camp, and for sey- eral days they had remained on watch at this particular tree. They were com pletely exhausted and very nearly starved to death, as was also the bear which the miner killed.

PRONE TO HAVE APoPLExY.
Recent Evidences That CIergymen Are Peculiarly Subject to This
 Fatal Disease.

The number of sudden deaths oc- curing lately among ministers is worthy of passing note. Why this should be so is not easy to explain. Certainly none of the penalties per taining to dissipation and high living that directly invite physical decay applies in their case, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 It is true, most of them have hard work and comparatively poor pay, with the attendant overstrain and tire of the life struggle, but there seems to be no good reason why their or derly lives should not in a great meas ure counterbalance mental and bodily stress. Notwithstanding all this the clergymen wear out comparatively early.
 For some reason not equally ex- plainable with other brain workers. there appears with them a marked proclivity toward apoplexy Perhaps this is in part due to continuous and exacting mental drudgery along neces- sarily limited lines. But this was hardly the case with the Brooklyn pastor who added to his other qual- ifications that of a well-merited repu- tation for outside scientific research. Death in lis case, as is common in some forms of apoplexy, came to him with startling suddenness While pre- pairing to make a call and standing in his doorway, he merely Straight ened up and then slowly sank to the floor" Evidently a blood vessel of large size in the substance of the brain gave way and killed him as in- stantly as the bullet from a rife. The preliminary spasm thus explained it. self. There was no warning. Tn fact, as is often noted in similar instances, the man had previously said that he felt unusually we'll.

QuicksiIxer EIa.ka

The bottles or fasks used for trans porting quicksilver are generally made of boiler iron and are cylindrical in shape, about 12 inches in height and four inches in diameter, with screw plug inserted in one end. The capacity of flask is 76h pounds and it's weight about IA pounds Such fasks are used by all producers of quicksilver, and pass through the hands of various dealers till they reach the consumer. The total num- Der used in this country cannot be very large, as the total product last year of quicksilver in the United States was but 2s,s79 fiasks, and the same flask can be used again and again till it gets too rusty inside. A flask can easily last 25 years. We un- derstand most of those now in use are made abroad. but an American firm also has made them. Most of the sec ond-hand fasks can be bought for 25 or 30 cents apiece.

for if he has been long upon the sta tion he has been through many such instructions.
 He lands few marines and then de- votes the rest of his time to seeing to it that the belligerents do not ransack the American legations and consulates and seize American merchant vessels in their search for fleeing officials. The weaker parties often make break for protection under the folds of the American flag when affairs become critical and it requires a great deal of watchfulness to prevent the pursuers from violating the right of asylum.
 They are not always successful in this, for the victorious generals have 8 way of shooting their victims first and then discovering afterward that they have infringed the rights of neutrality. Profuse apologies and salute to the American flag and damages follow. But that does not help the dead man.
 It has long been study with officials of this government what it is in the makeup of the Central and South American peoples which renders them so susceptible to the charms of the rev olutionist. Of course, most Of the gov ernments are bad enough, but there are few instances where taking up arms has bettered conditions among these fiery little republics. It seems to be from a natural inborn desire to fight and to make trouble. As soon as the killing is over they dwell together again, the opposing sides, in brotherly love until the next revolt comes along, and likely as not the contending par ties then swap positions and fight against the men they fought for be- fore.
 The tendency to such disturbances seems to be inherent in the blood of the Latin-American people. This is prob ably in part due to their excitable tenn perament But men who have studied the question are inclined to think it is to still larger degree attributable to their race history and tradition. Their governments are often republics iD name only.
 One difficulty with the South Amer ican peoples is that they have under taken to erect republics upon the civil law of imperial Rome and upon mon- archical traditions. They have framed superstructures in the shape of writ ten constitutions, modelled, in many in- stances, after the constitution of the United States, but their political edi- fees have failed to withstand the stress of time because their foundations have been faulty.
 The list of revolutions might be ex- tended almost indefinitely. The his- tory of South America consists of little else. They are all of the same general character. A so-called presi lent att tafns power, perhaps by means of @ more or less farcical election. He rules his country as veritable monarch un- til some military rival can gather about him enough disaffected soldiers to war rant him in attempting to seize the chief executive office Then comes the revolution. Sometimes it is successful, sometimes it is not, but it makes little difference to the people of the country who are not in the immediate following of one rival or the other.
