FOUR BEARS AT Al SHOT.
A Huntaman's Remarkable Luck Up Ia
the Maine woods


About seven years ago Mr. Withee
was presented with two fine hounds,
and wishing to Try their training and
their grit he took them out sb do lit
tie bear hunting, says the Maine
Woods.
The first morning Withee let the
dogs out for a run while he was get
ting the breakfast, expecting them to
be back II d short time. When break
fast was over the dogs had not re-
turned, 50 taking his gun Mr. WiEhee
started out ii The direction they had
taken. After travelling about mile
the faint barking Of dogs could be
heard and it was then plain why the
dogs had not returned. They had
scented game and were IN pursuit.
The sound Of the barking led him far.
up the side Of d mountain and soon he
came N sight Of the dogs standing
around the upturned roots Of 4 Tree.
Mr. Withee crept up cautiously nm
til within about Is feet of 4 cave that
was near By, and then q black, shaggy
head could be seen just above the
roots. Taking good aim, he fired his
44-caliber and awaited results. After
several minutes he went up 10 the cave,
and what he saw there gave him a
shock from which be has never reeoy-
cred. Two bears lay dead and two
more were SO stunned that few quick
passes with 8 knife settled them.
For the four bears Nh. Withee re-
ceived $50 bounty, s27 80 for their
hides and S42 for the bear oil, making
S69. so for one days hunt.

NATURAL GAS IN BRAZIL.

Another so-ealled volcano" has
|arupfed itself at Santos and is squirt
ing out q gas that burns with pale
blue fame, says the Brazilian Review.
The volcano IS ON the beach, and
only lasts while the tide is high. It's
supposed By some to be a sign Of the
times sent as warning Of the evil
days to come and admonition to re-
form. Certainly there IS plenty Of
room for improvement of santistas,
though there are many of them who
protest they are no worse than their
Heighbors, indeed q good deal better,
and that the .soleanos IS not sent as a
warning at al, but to supply q cheap
and easy remedy against all the Ills
that flesh is heir to. A lad who was
going BY with some ones dinner was
. taken up by the volcano as to for
get to look where he was going, and so
came to the ground and smashed the
china to pieces. Remembering the
miraculous properties Of the vol
sano7 he dipped the pieces into the

MANY POLICEMEN.
Dread Taking Human Lie Even in Self
Defense.

r
Speaking Of ghosts, said an old
policeman, & have known Of many
instances where the lives Of useful and
efficient officers have been positively
ruined because Of a dread Of super
natural things. There are but few
people who understand the life Of the
police officer who comes up 10 the
proper standard. In the first place,
they live a life Of dread. Noman with
the right kind Of feeling wants to
take human life, and, even IN cases
where it is entirely a matter Of self
defense, it IS q perfect nightmare. I
recall the case OF q splendid fellow
who had risen to the position Of cap
tain in his department after Years Of
faithful service, during which time he
had never even wounded a human be-
ing. He was man of great refine
ment Of feeling, but as brave as he
could be. There was a tough cllarac-
ter IN the community who had spent
much time in jail and had served sew
eral terms in the penitentiary He
was constantly annoying the police.
One night he was arrested By the cap
tain in question. He put up the usual
claim that he was being persecuted BY
the police, and, arming himself, he
went to police headquarters to kill the
captain who arrested him. This was
the next day after his arrest. He
called the captain out and, stepping
off few feet, drew his pistol and be-
gan to snap it. The captain was too
quick for him. He shot the brawler,
who died almost instantly. It was
such clear case of self-defense that
his friends congratulated him on his.
good luck IN escaping Several
months after that I saw the captain
1000 miles away from home, and be
told me that be had been going from
place to place in an effort to rid him
self OF the fearful picture Of the trag-
edy. He could not dismiss it from his
mind. He thought of it while be was
awake, dreamed Of tWhile asleep, and
really It wound up his career, for he
soon gave up bis position, and is, up to
this time, roaming around over the
country trying 70 rid himself Of the
gIhostly picture. N. o. Times Dem

about four inches long and a quarter
of an inch in diameter. Inside Of it,
running its whole length, is q thin.
stick Of glass having nine little cireu-
lar glass projections that almost but
not quite touch the inside surface Of
the tube Running loose IN the tube
is about half thimbleful of mercury.
Agitate it in a dark room, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel, and immediate
y this glittering becomes a bright
hosphorescent light, not sufficient to
read BY, but bright enough 70 aid one
in finding keyhole or seeing the
hour on the face Of a watch. Cease to
agitate it and the light fades.
AS ] have said, the inventors MAIN
tain certain silence on the subject.
A vague talk IS given about the prop
erty that metallic uranium has of

They possess respectively 400 and 900
times the oducing power Of

PRIMITIVE COOKING.
How Our European Ancestors Ussd ia
Prepare Their IDEALS.


Prot. s. Trojanoyie, of Belgrade,
has for several months been making
an investigation with The object of as-
certaining the exact manner Ia which
food was cooked ii Europe Id prirlli-
tive times, and be has now arrived 1t
the conclusion that the general prae-
tice was to place the food III i pot and
70 warm It 81 means Of red hot stones.
Such pot was usually made of the
bark Of tree, and two or three sticks
ran across It for the purpose Of hold
ing the stones n proper position.
When q meal was to BE- prepared the
pot was partially filled with meat and
water, and then il the vacant places
we're put thered hot stones. The food
was quickly warmed ii this way andit
vas eaten before il grew cold.
In various parts Of Servia primitive
pots Of this kind are still used. III
other parts Of Europe, notably in
Macedonia, pots formed Of the bark
Of trees are also used, but the food IN
them, instead of being warmed BY
means Of hot stones, IS thoroughly
cooked by fire which il Lighted over
them.
Prof. Trojanovic has made eollee-
ton Of these pots, and he regards them
as Of peculiar interest and value, since
he Is confident that Id old days about
every nation in Europe cooked its food
in utensils Of this kind, though he
thinks il quite probable that q differ
ent method of heating the food pre-
vailed IN each country.

understate the fact, since many deaths
ascrbed to pneumonia, for instance,
are really caused by this vicious infiu-
anza, which seems to strike at ones

THE KING or ITALY.
Roman Professor Tells Of His EARLY
Training and Education.

Training and Ednca alton.
A book of exceptional interest, and
which is CONSEQUENTLY attracting wide
attention, has just been published in
Italy, says the New York Herald. It
is BY signor Morandi, professor Of
Italian literature at the q University of
Rome, and it tells how the present
king of Italy was educated, Signor
Morandi having been for some years
the monarch 5 principal instructor.
On the first day, when / went 10
the Quirinal, says the author, sI met
Col. Oslo. the princes tutor. and be
told me that I shoaia treat him as /
would treat any other pupil, neither
showing him any undue respect nor
any indulgence, even IN triaing mat
tiers. For example, if anything was
needed during the lesson, it was the
prince who should rise and get it and
not !, and, if book Or anything else
were To fall from the table, 1t was he
who should pick it up. ! was thenin-
troduced to the prince, and the first
lesson began. Before il was over /
was satisfied that my pupil was en-
.doWed with an alert, prudent and nm
usually sfndious mind.
That evening Queen Margharita
having asked him how he liked his
new teacher, the prince, who was then
hardly 12, replied, gravely: He
seems to be clever man, butt cannot
be certain until + have received several
more lessons from him. I
The prince, says Prof. Morandi,
rose at six o'clock every morning,
both in winter and summer, after
which he took d bath and light
breakfast, and then went TO study.
Once or twice during a winter he
would be loath to leave his warm bed
at that hour, but on such occasions
Col. Oslo never failed 10 appear at his
bedside and to inform him that he
would get no breakfast for several

Women in New York Earn Good Sasarisl
IS Jewel caretakers.
Never intrust yonr jewels to any.
lone but . professional careta aker that
is, # you have many thousand dollars
worth Of them. Otherwise it doesn't
SO much matter.
10 keep variety Of jewels brilliant
and safe intheir settings requires con-
siderable experiences There are sew
Eeral women IN New York, says the
Herald, who earn good incomes
among the wives Of millionaires BY
taking care Of their Jewel
During the season the caretal1er
makes a round Of jewel boxes once a
week She carries cleaning appliances
with her and will often spend several
hours over a single collection. She di-
reefs what kind Of case shall be used
for them, in what part Of the house
they are to be kept, and similar de-
tails. Caretakers are, of course, Ileav-
ily insured, and their compensation
is CORES espondingly large.
Before the caretaker even touches
the jewels she fastens long apron Of
5chamois skin about her waist. Many
gems are only handled with gloves.
One Of the first offices of the care
taker is tosee that jewels are protect
ed BY proper cases. The elaborate vel
vet and satin-ined cases in general use
are discarded. The jewels should be
wrapped ID jewelers. tissue paper,
packed IN wool and laid away in air
tight compartments. Jewels are af-
feefed seriously BY the fumes from
furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and ffre-
quently BY sea air.
The jewels are tested with d sharp
instrument to find If their settings are
secure. The jewels looked after by
one OF these caretakers never drop
from their settings at unexpected mo-
menfs. Throughout these examina-
fions the earefaker uses powerful
magnifying glass. The gold Or silver
mountings are then thoroughly
cleaned with jewellers rouge, dried
and polished. ANY accumulations Of
dust, grease or soap on the stones are
carefully removed with the aid Of d
very fine camel's hair brush. They
are then dipped alternately ID soap
suds and cologne until thoroughly
cleansed.
The colors Of many gems are affect
ed by Wateror cleansing fluids. Inthe
case of the turquoise the only safe
fluid is alcohol mixed with whiting.
Turquoise is frequently discolored BY
the use Of water. The caretaker cor
rects this By soaking them IN stale
beer to restore the pure azure tone.
Emeralds require very delicate
treatment, as do most green stones.
They are cleaned By being buried III
absorbent cotton saturated with alco-
hol. They are never rubbed, but ars
allowed to remain in this bath until
al the alcohol has eTaporated.
Pearls are cleaned with naphtha
and choloroform. They should only
be rubbed with the hand. The heat
Of human flesh keeps them IN good

ICES are frequently il demand when
