A DOGS PERSISTENCE.
Wonderful Determination of a Hunt
ing Dog That freed a 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 of7canine faith.
fulness and determination ever record.
ed. Combs was one of party of hunt.
ers who returned few days ago from
a weeks hunting trip in the mountains
back of Crescent City. Del Norte coun
ty, says 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 fina.-
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. :. 81
One day subsequently Mr.. Combs re-.
ceived a 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 sew
eral days they had remained on watch
at this particular tree. They were COM
P1etely exhausted and very nearly
starved to death, as was alsoZthe bear.

THE DELTOID MUSCLE.


It IS asrare thing; e said the talkinR
man, relates the Washington Star, TO
find q merchant tailor who can geta
perfect fit in the clothes he makes.
Sosrare In fact that have sometimes
thought that tailors. Of all artisans.
knew least how to do their work right.
Yet the tailor, or the cutter rat her,sis
not always to blame, for a. perfectly cut
garment may be often set askew by q
careless maker, who by crooked seam
OF slight departure from the line set
for his needle may throw the Whole
thing out OF plumb. Still, good tailor
ought to know when a garment fits,
and should either be able to correct its
unfitness or not let it leave the shop.
Speaking of the cutting part, I remem-
Der an incident that occurred once at
convention of cutters held in Cincin-
natl. The subject for discussion was
the cutting and fitting of garments,
and testy old Scotchman had the floor
He said in effect that if coat were
cut to set right upon the deltoid muscle
that the wearer would always find it
comfortable and we'll fitting
In fact said he, the deltoid mus

"'Will the gentleman state what and

cutter on the other side Of the cham

The Scotchman turned on him
sharply. ri: 49, "a # ..s... 4.
Sir, he said, angrily, do you cain
to be cutter and not know where the
deltoid muscle is located? Don't you
know, sir, that knowledge of the HUI
man antony is as important to the
tailor as it is to the surgeon? Do you
expect to cut garment to fit an object
whose every line and curve you do not
know? You might as we'll try to fit a
plug to hole without kno wing the size
of the hole. No, sir. the gentleman will
not state what and where the deltoid
muscle is. It is your duty. sir, to know
the deltoid muscle; not mine to in

because there was nobody present to
carry it on, for don't believe man in
the place except the old fellow knew
anything about deltoid muscles. I
know [ didn't, but as soon as got to
dictionary looked it up. Later I gave
the matter some study and found that
the Scotchman was right"

Dropsy

starting in the feet or ankles
comes from a weak or diseased
heart-a heart that cannot keep
up the circulation. The blood
then settles in the lower limbs
where the watery portions ooze
out into surrounding tissues
causing bloat and swelling.
The heart must be strengthened
and built up before the dropsy
can be cured to stay; and the

NEW INV ASIOl Or INDIA.


The idea that the native Indian es-
chews all but his native tobacco,
which he takes mostly ii the form
Of cheroots. receives hard shock
from the newly issued official Review
of the Trade Of India. It appears that
~ l898-99 the imports Of manufactured
tobacco, especially in the shape 81
cigarettes, underwent much expan-.
sion. s W. 33
| It5 is no longer true that the con-
summpptt ton Of imported tobacco is prac-
tfcaly confined to the Anglo Indian
population. Cigarettes made in Amer
lea are being extensively imported
now with special reference to the re
quirements Of the native smoker, says
the London Mail. They are greatly
in evidence in and about Calcutta and
other large cities. where they are be-
ginning to supersede the unclean and
unsayory compounds smoked in ma
tive apparatus.
Imported cottons have largely SUI
perseded the production of the native
handloom; imported mineral oil and
dyes have superseded the inferior ar
ticles produced in the country, to the
great advantage of the consumer; i'm
ported sugar is also gradually begin
ming to thrust back the inferior and
dirty sugar hitherto offered to the
Indian consumer: and now it seems
that Indian tobacco is to recoil be-
fore the invasion Of foreign tobacco
made up in neatly packed cigarettes.
Another turn of the wheel, and when
the people have become accustomed
to the better article the capitalist
will arise and make it on the spot
of Indian tobacco, to the advantage
of both producer and consumer, as
has been done with cotton goods and
will be done with sugar.

MAKE GOOD DETECTIVES.
Many Women Seem Adapted to the
Work of Ferreting Out
:. Crimes.

In New York city and the surround
ing towns almost 100 women are en-
gagged in detective work; in Chicago
the number of. women similarly en-
ployed is quite large, says the Chron-
icle. a large percentage of these wom-
en- are employed in the big stores,
where shoplifting is so commonly
practiced, that the head of one large
establishment said: I'VE could no
more do without detective in this
store than we could do without a
model to show off our gowns" The
lodges of shoplifters are innumera-
BILE. Some wear long capes and slip
lengths of silk or passementerie,
feathers and handkerchiefs under
their arms; others wear outer skirts
with long: Sits concealed by the gath
ers, so that they can slip their thefts
into pockets in an underdress known
as "kickshirt." Handkerchiefs and
gloves are tucked into muffs and bod
ices, and, worse than all, children are
pressed into the service. One success
full woman thief tucks lace and en-
broidery and any knick-knacks she
can lay hands on down the backs of
her two little children, who are ex-
quisitely dressed; others instruct
their small daughters to take any
thing that is put in their way Chill
dren of eight and nine make clever
shoplifters. Sometimes two women
work together and then it is very diff
ficult for the detective to trap them.
Women detectives are valued and we'll
paid when they are skillful.

A CLEVER CH1NEE.
He Draws n Keen Comparison OF His
Religion and Other
PeOcle's. -,

Zone ofthe most brilliant men of nv
acquaintance is Chinaman,' said John
B. Galore, Of New York, to a Washing-
ton Post reporter. He has astea house
up in our metropolis. and he is a scholar
as well as importer of the leaf. We were
talking about the Chinese imbroglio
several days ago, and conversation
drifted from Boxers and the taking Of
Picking to the teachings of Confucius.
sionaries were trying to Christianize
native Chinese who cling to religion
which has stood the test 5000 years,
and had nearly 100000, 900 followers.
while the Christian religion is scarcely
1000 years old with many followers of
divided belief. &:
You Christian believers remind
me-, he explained, of the Chinaman
who stood on the river shore and
watched the moon rise over the hill. a
ray of sublime light came to him. It
was beautiful. His friends were sta
toned at other places and he called to
them to come quick and behold his own
beautiful ray of light. They replied
that they also followed beautiful rays
Of light to the same moon. Fromwhat-
ever position they looked they caught
q ray equally as beautiful. That's the
way with religion, and especially yours.
You are looking at the light Of good
ness. emanating from the Divine
source, and each thinks he has monop-
oily, likesthe lone Chinamanwith his one

Vermont Gain. In ponu,.t,.,

Vermont, according to the census
report, has gained 11,219 in population
the past ten years, its population now
being 343, 641, as against ss2, 422 in
1890. It is interesting to note that
during this same period the large
places Barre, Bellows Falls, Benning-
ton, Burlingto Montpelier and st.
Y ohnsbury have gained over $1,000,
so the small towns, the rural sections
of the state, must have lost quite a
few people. This is, however, only
what IS happening in nearly all the
eastern states the cities are gaining
at the Expense Of the country.
