hunters in this section. During d re

bring in a bear. Thinking the Iowan

to do or die. One evening he caught
sight of a large black bear on a ledge
of rocks. Stealing around behind bruin

How to Travel in Comfort.

Wash the face as seldom as posi-
BILE when travelling. as the dust and air
render the skin very harsh if it is con
stantly damped.
The best way to remove any dust
Is to dip a rag in elder flower water
Chat most innocent and refreshing o.
toilet waters) and use that only. When
the journeys end is reached, rub the
face all owe with u thin cold cream,
and leave on until you make your ap.
pearance among your friends, when
wipe off with a soft towel; then use a
vaporizer Tor sponge with warm wa
teri, and finish by having well with
cold water to close the pores and give
armness to the skin. If powder is used
IN travelling, it should be put on only to
dust it off again. To keep it on makes
the skin dry and harsh. At night rub
on a very little cold cream when re-
firing as the close air and electric
light are very Injurious to the complex
ion. especially in hot weather. For a
powder nothing is better than powder,
ed m~agnesia-it is harmless and cool
mg-but it should not be left on long.
There is nothing, however, that re.
freshes one so much as washing ones
hands with a good soap and water, but
n should never use the soap provid
ed for the public use, as there is great
danger of catching infectious diseases
-or at least, annoying skin troubles
a this way. A little rubber sponge
bag, with soap and sponge and a small
clean towel, does not take up much
room, and ia so very satisfactory thai
few care to travel without 1t.
As a last suggestion, be very careful
above all things, to travel by some raj,
road that has a rock ballast roadbed
preventing dust, and n that is sup
piled with all the latest modern con
veniences and safety appliances, such

It WAS A SURPRISE

EMIT TO VISIT A BIG HERE

He Called Upon Messrs. Hebeler G

Them There-improving Stock.


An occasional correspondent of The
Republican sends the following under
date OF Wednesday. and he shows what
can be lone on the Laramie plain in
way Of improving the stock and adding
to the wealth # the state. He says:
The stockmen of the Laramie plains
ought to have a very serious bone to
pick with Messrs. Hebeler & Murray.
They are developing ia their business

section as it is likely to be injurious
to our live stock intercsts-an excess

fancy that he knew as much about the
cattle owned in the district as the next

Sea waves move Independently of each
other; if one wave, proceeding in certain
direction, comes in contact with another
wave, there will be alliance, for the
waves will each continue on their original
course, as though there had been no in
terruption Waves crossing each other in
this way may often be seen; each portion
of one wave successfully encounters and
passes through the other wave; the two
combine for an instant to form one billow
of greater height, and then separately pur-
sue their own path.
The grandest waves of the Seashore gem
orally occur after a storm. This Is the
ground swell caused by the longest
waves, which continue after the minor
waves have subsidized. Out in the deep sea
they are so long and fiat as to be scarcely
visible, but on entering shallow water the
progress Of the wave is retarded. so that

which combs majestically over and falls
with a laundering roar.
Such Is the great surf which. even in the
calmest weather, beats on the islands of
the Pacific, and which renders landing
there in boats SO difficult and dangerous.
The arrival of swell often gives
warning of the approach of a storm, the
waves travelling more quickly than the
storm disturbance progresses. This is mot
the same as saying that the waves travel
quicker than the wind, though even that
Is possible, as already mentioned.

For five or ten minutes the priests passed
over the Goals Those who were not so en-
gagged kept up the prayers. In the mean
time tickets had been sold to the crowd for
three sen apiece "a cent and a halO, which
would permit the bearer to pass over the
glowing bed in the same way. The first to
go across was woman carrying papy on
her back. She afterward crossed again
several times. After her came some forty
fifty people, men, women and children
walking fearlessly across, one closely fol-
lowing the other some. like the mother

again, and appearing to enjoy 1t. There
We're two or three who hurried at the end,

stepped upon sharp coal than because

from time to time, there were many who
walked across when 1t was practically eX-
hausted. and they could have come In con-
tact with very little Of It. AS each one
started on the fiery pilgrimage the priest
with the flint and steel struck sparks about
the persons head, while the other priests
did not cease from their prayers: the wav-
ing of the fans and the "gohei." AS dusk
began to fall the scene became more and
more impressive. The Goals glowed out by
contrast, and the white-robed priests. with
their weird lamentations, made fitting ele-
ment, while two priests at one side beat
drum and played on reed pipe, the
strains being in perfect keeping with the
rest OF the performance. One man. a
cooIie ran off at ons side when he was
half over, and the crowd hooted. But
nearly all of the many people who passed
overland their number was large and diff
ficult to estimate-seemed absolutely unin-
1ured, and apparently derived no dtscom-
fort from the operation.
There was no doubt in the minds Of any
Of the foreign spectators-and there were
many skeptics among the number-that the
fire was not only genuine, but intensely
hot and no satisfactory explanation could
be advanced by even the most learned.
The use Of the salt and alum the damp
mats was the weakest point Of all, but
even that could have been but a very slight

An Interesting Patient.

The interesting patient at the Schoen-
brunn menagerie, the sick rhinoceros, ap-
pears at length to have recovered from the
severe attack Of influenza under which she
has been suffering. A few days ago she
took her first walk in the open air,
strongly barred Enclosure in the park near
the elephants ground having been assigned
to her. She showed signs of illness during
the latter part Of her sea voyage and her
van from Trieste to Vienna was heated by
sixty hat water tins. Unfortunately on
reaching the CITY, chilly day increased
her cold. and she refused all food. She
was ordered daily five to six quarts Of
camomile tea and several quarts of red
wine. She swallowed this strange diet with
great willingness, and perhaps, preferred
1t to the chopped hay and green food to
which she has now returned. The fear Of
approaching her made the surgeons task
difficult, for even sick rhinoceros is
enormously strong. She Is fine young fe-
male, three and one-half years old, and
was sent to the emperor's menagerie from
the Malay peninsula. Great interest has
been taken In her recovery, among her visi-
tors being the German crown prince. The
treatment employed by the veterinary sur
geon has also been much criticised, but
the result shows it's correctness.
