DEER AND COUGAR IN A FIGHT.
Bucks Ant1ers Disc m DO weled Fierce
Foe After a Hard Struggle.


4 fight to the death between a deer
and cougar was seen by two hunters
on the north fork of Kettle river, in
the interior of British Columbia. The
contestants We're a large buck and a
powerful cougar, and John Sell and A..
Is. JONES' who were out on fortnight's
shooting trip. say that it was battle
royal.
The attention of the chance specta-
tors was attracted to the scene ut the
moment when the cougar launched
h.Mself upon the buck from the limb
OF tree. He landed squarely upon the
shoulders of the buck. the force of the
leap almost throwing the deer to the
ground. The buck recovered himself
almost instantly, however, and the
battle began.
Tossing his head back, the buck
poised himself for second and drove
two prOngs of his antlers into the cOu.
CARS body. then, with deft swing for.
ward. threw his enemy to the ground.
Leaping backward, the head Of the
herd, with lowered head, awaited q
second attack.
The buck had not long to wait for a
renewal Of the contest, for with roar
OF pain and rage the cougar sprang up.
on him. He was deity caught upon
the antlers Of the buck and hurled
high In the air. The moment the cou-
gar struck the ground the buck was
upon him, striking savagely with his
fore feet, which cut like knife blades,
and driving his antlers again and
again into his enemy. But the cougar
was no passive adversary. He tore
frantically at the deer with his great
claws. until the buck had a great gap
ing wound in his shoulder.
Finally they separated, but only for
a second, for the cougar by this time,
blinded with blood and almost disem-
boweled. crawled forward for the nnal
death struggle. Game as was the cou-
gar the odds were now wholly with the
buck. and 1t did not take long to finish
the cougar, although the latter made
desperate efforts to reach the throat Of
the deer.
The buck walked up to his fallen foe,
struck him few times with his feet,
and then. after shifting at him and sat
isiying himself that the cougar was
dead. slowly walked away. The
hunters, with that sense Of rough JUS.

A BIG STRIKE may OCCUR
AMONG THE C0ALMINERS.
Must BE Settled by April 1-Striko

ell Talks-Mfne Operators Refused
to Confer With Union Men.

HAZELTON, Pa, March ls-By unani-
nous vote the delegates to the United
M,ne Workers convention, which has been
i'll session in this city for nearly a week,
decided to suspend work at all anthracite
mines unless the operators agree to meet
the miners executive board in conference
before April /. A strike seems inevitable.
The operators have steadfastly refused to
recognize the miners as body and there
is not the remotest indication that they
will pay any attention to the demands
made by President Mitchell and other
members of the executive board that they
meet the miners in joint conference to adj
just grievances.
The convention adjourned after adoption
of the resolution, and resident Mitchell and
the officers of the three anthracite districts
held a session at which plans were discuss
ed on bringing about the desired meeting
between operators and miners.
In an interview President Mitchell adj
mitted the probability Of a strike, but said
he would prefer to make no definite state
ment in that respect pending negotiations.
He said, however, that the delegations were
a unit in their approval Of the action
taken.
Referring again to the possibility Of .
strike, he said: "Words can not express
how we regret being forced to consider
such a step. The miners union stands for
peace, but peace upon firm foundation"
I. ID. Nichols, president of District No.
l., said tonight: Conditions which arc
unfair still exist and joint conference will
be necessary to adjust them. The opera
tors should not be afraid to meet the men
in joint conference If their contentious ON
scale matters are just"
The most important demand which the
miners would make, it is said, is recog-
milton of their union, which was not in
sisted upon during the strike last year, and
a uniform wage scale. In order to bring
about the latter condition a slight advance,
it is said. will be asked for by the men In
the Lehigh, Schuylkill and Wyoming re-
gions. Considerable bitterness has been en-
gendered among the delegates by the re.
| fusal of the mine owners to confer with
them.

he refused to bow before foreign poten-

among the crowd, caught the leader by
the throat, and from that vantage COM

night In the snow or dragging himself
through the drifts by his horses tail,
captured by the Russians, deserted by
his followers, Abdurrahman's courage
and faith in his destiny never failed.

the throne Of his fathers, and he

II you see the lean twentieth century
glrl slyly lift something from her vest
pocket and shoot it into her mouth YOU
may be sure 1t Is an alfalfa tablet. The
matinee girl will also be seen MUNICH
Ing alfalfa bonbons. Scrawny and At
tenuated humanity will drink fluid ex-
tract OF alfalfa seeds. 1t all came
about through a discovery made by a
modest country doctor in Kansas, the
state that has contributed SO much to
the science of fattening live stock. This
doctor who accidentally discovered the
fat-making potency of alfalfa, was for
merly fish commissioner of Kansas, and
While In that Office he received some
interesting reports from foreign coun-
tries on fish culture and kindred SUBJ
Jects. In one of these reports he read
OF the wonderful fattening properties
OF seed discovered in Asia Minor
which had been successfully utilized by
the Sultan of Turkey when plumpness
was the vogue In the Turkish harem.
Living In State famed for it's fat stock
exhibits, the doctors curiosity was
aroused and he sent for some Of the
seed OF the Asiatic plant, and learned
that 1t was nothing more than the seed
Of alfalfa grass. But the Kansas scien-
fist did not stop with this discovery.
He reasoned that IL alfalfa could fill a
Turkish harem with joyous rotundity it
could be utilized to fill up the lean
places of modern femininity with
healthy .adipose. He knew that the
lank and willowy twentieth century
girl would not look well going around
chewing alfalfa grass. Neither would
she fancy alfalfa porridge for steady
diet. Accordingly he finally succeeded
in making palatable extract of alfalfa
seeds. as pleasant to the taste as syrup
Of sQuills. He began trying this ex-
tract on the population Of Kansas sew
eral weeks ago. He himself took three
tablespoonfuls Of the extract every day.
The results are astonishing. The first
effect was a sudden influx Of tailors to
supply the demand for new clothes. In
the course Of two weeks time persons
who had received sample bottles Of the
extract were unable to get into their
clothes. A brisk demand for heavy
furniture is also noted. There Is no
telling where the alfalfa craze will end
II 1t once breaks out Of Kansas, for the
twentieth century girl Is certainly go
ing to be a plump girl. Instead Of the
'Gibson girl" we shall soon hear Of the
alfalfa girl" And the beauty Of 1t Is,
the Kansas scientist refuses to patent
his elixir of alfalfa. He offers It to
lean and angular humanity free aid
without price.

Ruve. for ''oaa &c of Drugs.

Ruve- for Noaaxe of Drugs.
The amount Of action produced by q
drug will vary very much according to
the size of the body into which 1t is
put. One can easily understand that
II We administer, say, one drachm of
tincture to an adult weighing 200
pounds. and give the same quantity to
a child weighing ten pounds, that the
proportion of the drug to the child will
be twenty times greater than in the
adult, and SO the same quantity given
to both will be a very much larger
dose to the child than to the adult. In
cases Of experimentation upon animals,
where we wish to compare the amounts
OF drugs necessary to produce a given
effect very precisely, the actual dose as
rule Ia not stated. but the proportion
to the body weight of the animal Is
given. 30 that. for example, we say
that centigram of certain drug to
a kilogram Of animal weight produces
a certain effect. For this reason we
give as rule a larger dose of drug
to large men than to small men, and
we generally give smaller doses to wom-
en-. because the bodies Of women are
as rule smaller than those Of men.
To children you give very much less
than you would to adults. There ia a
rule, known as Young's. which b COM
monty used for ascertaining the frac-
ton OF an adult dose which should be
given to child. This Is done by TAX
Ing the age Of the child as the numera-
tor Of the fraction. and the age with
IL added as the denomination.
Thus. II you want to know how much
of medicine you must give to child
5 years old when 60 minims would be
the aoss for ~ adult you take - - Of
60 miMms. This dose comes between
a third and fourth. SO II It were big
