THE COUGARS FIGHTING.
How n Bull elk Won n Battle by a
Solar Plexus blow.

How n Bull elk Won n Battle by n
Solar Plexus blow.
The cougar does not leap upon its big
game nor drop upon it out Of treetops,
but sneaks close or lies in wait upon
the level and goes from cover in a
straight rush like the tiger or the hunt
ing leopard. 1t endeavors to seize upon
the lower throat or shoulder with its
teeth and to twist the quarry's head
against this purchase" in its power
full forearms until the neck is broken.
Failing in it's attempt, yet making
good its catch hold, the cougar will-to
put it modernly-go in and finish in
any old style. 1t will usually finish
once tooth and claw are engaged, but
sometimes it fails and even gets the
worst of an encounter.
Felix Michaud, a most reliable free
trapper of the old regime, once told me
he had watched a lion stalking q bull
elk. 1t was a Teton mountain cougar
Of the big variety. 1t went from cover
in a headlong rush, but missed its neck
stroke as the bull lunged ahead, catch

! and going under his belly. Both ami,
mails were bowled over in a mixup of
hair, hoofs, claws and horns. In a
brief struggle, as they rolled over to-
gether, the cougar was thrown into the
air, al If hoisted by a spring trap, by
a convulslve kick from the bulls hind
leg. The maddened elk gained its legs
and chased its enemy Off the field. An
unlocked for punch in the wind had
taken the sand out of pussy.-Outing.

The Gentle RIooahound.

Bloodhounds, Notwithstanding that a
club was established In America, have
not caught on in public favor. There
is probably no breed whose true char
acteristics are less understood, a wide
spread idea existing that this is a fe-
rocious animal, for which, however
there Is no justification, as the moder
bloodhound Is a noble and sensib
creature peculiarly sensitive to kind

George Selwyn, the famous English
wit and man about town, took an ex-
traordinary interest in deathbed scenes,
criminal executions and funerals, and
in "Jesse's Memoirs" the story is told
Of him that when the first Lord Hol-
land was dying and learned that Sell
Nyn had called to inquire after his
health he said: The next time Mr..
selwyn calls show him up. If l am
alive, l shall be delighted to see him,
and If am dead he will be glad to see
me!'

made several months ago, the name of the contributor. however. being with held at his own request. It is reported that other wealthy philanthropists have become interested in the project, and that it's original scope will be greatly extended, as it is expected that, in the end. several millions of dollars will be available for carrying out the move ment. It has been decided to establish. in connection with one of the projected schools for nurses in the mountains of North Carolina, a sanitarium for suffer- CTS from consumption, which will be literally endowed, in order that pa tients of moderate means may enjoy, at low charges. the beneficial effects of the salubrious mountain air
 This looks like real philanthropy, and it will turn out to be real if it is prop erly managed. The need of such work is large and plain.

FxPENsLKr RESTRICTION.

The Germans meant business when they discriminated against United States food products. Consul Mason of Berlin shows that the fees charged on imported meat under the new German inspection law. which takes effect Octo- ber 1. will constitute a large addition to the existing tariff rates and tend to pre- vent the importation of American meat, lard. etc. On one hundred pieces of pork weighing 661 pounds the inspection fees will aggregate $15.11. besides the duty, which is s4O4. Thus quantity of meat which for five years past has cost s13 will have to pay inspection fees amounting to S9.04. On 1000 tubs of lard, each containing 271k pounds, the fees will aggregate $17.S5. On one hun dred pieces of ''middlings," weighing 992 pounds, the fees will be s16.s1, besides the duty. There is first a general in spection," next an examination for pre- serving materials and lastly an exam ination for trichinae, each causing q separate charge.
 If the Germans who want cheap and good food can stand this the United States can.

Figuring It Up.

The Captain strode the Quarterdeck; The crews were at the guns; Tie powder-aames Ieaped tiercely out, Like as the lightning runs. Afar the fortress rose, all grim, And believed in reply, Till smoke and fire and thunder sound Shook both the sea and sky.
 And the Captain took
 His little book. And figured away, while his fingers shook: - into 10 goes 16 times,
 And the square of F is I; 70 Is the cube of 6,
 And my deck Is wet with gore. J3 Is the C. C. D.,
 And plus is 5
 And my ship is shot to a battered hulk And haven't man alire!' The other Captain, in the fort, Stood sadly on parade; The Gatlings, siege and other guns fearSOme racket made. They b0omed across the troubled waves, Against the sweeping ships, And as their echoes thrilled the air The Captain bit his lips.
 And he also took
 His little book, And figured it out with q worried look: '6 per cent of dozen men,
 And the sine of IS more All biSccted by 2.
 And the are of 34;
 plus s to the decimal,
 And the tare and tret," he said, "COmbincd with thc subdivided sum,
 Shows all my men are dead" Thus each side lost and each side won, And each side fought the fray, And now they're figuring upon The powder bills to pay. Grim war is awful at its best, But who will lose or lick If he relies entirely on The old arithmetic?

INGENIOUS AND ENooUR4GrNG,

We are continually told that these are uneommonly prosperous times, and if meat and coal and few other things were not so much higher than wages we could believe it. One thing at least does seem to be true, and that Is that work is plenty even if it isn't paid for in accurate proportion to the prices of things. An agent of the American Protective Tariff League undertook to show that prosperity is prevalent by examining the Sunday newspapers that were printed in the month of August In twenty-five different cities, and counting the number of help advertisements they contained. In all he reviewed forty different papers, but instead of includ- ing the advertisements calling for more than one person he counted only the single ones. As result of his work he found that during the month of August the forty Sunday papers In question of fered situations to 1882 men and to 5,254 women, a total of almost 13000. At the same time he took account of the advertisements the papers contained of situations wanted, and he found that there were only 5,559 persons who wanted work badly enough to pay for an advertisement asking for employ ment. This is taken to mean that the country is so prosperous that there is little reason for idleness on the part of the honest and industrious. The agent says that if he had included the adver- tisements where from two to 5000 per- sons were wanted, the total would have run way up into the hundreds of thou sands. He quotes the Seattle Intel- ligencer as advertising for over 1,50O persons in it's Sunday issues of August, and the San Francisco Examiner as calling for over 17,O0O persons. The cry for help in the Pacific States is most urgent, where from $2 to s4 a day is of fered for common laborers, such as brickmen, teamsters, miners and rail- road hands.
 Much work even at moderate wages is a good thing and when the coal strike is settled and the Beef trust and few other trusts are disbanded the workers will feel more prosperous.

SOME PRESENCE OF MIND.

The man who came home wet and put his umbrella to bed while he stuck him. self up in the corner of the room was absent-minded. He wasn't much like Miss Ida Butler of Pratt, Kansas. A number of young folks of which she was one were going picnicking the oth- CT day, and they drove into stream which was running high. The horses were soon drowned and the people were washed down the stream. All escaped with the exception of Miss Ida Butler who was carried under and became fastened by her clothes in a submerged wire fence. A young man in the party dove down, and after tearing away her clothes brought her to the surface. In telling about it afterward Miss Butler said: q could feel that somebody was working to get me loose from that wire fence. remembered to keep quite still so that I would not drown my rescuer, though I wanted to grasp him, oh! so hard"
 If this young woman were not Kan sas girl it might be hard to believe that she had such presence of mind under such trying circumstances. But noth- ing that happens in Kansas is surpris- ing. It would not have been surprising if she had asked the young man who came down to save her not to tear her clothes any more than was necessary.

A few months later the travelling man was again in the community and he asked if the new diet had been tried and what the result had been. ''It works beautifully" was the reply.
