Music by Her Finger Ends.

IN most of the deaf blind the sense
of scent is as finely developed as in
the best trained bloodhounds and hunt
ing dogs. And in most of the blind
and deafblnd the touch is exceed
ingly keen. OF all the deaf-blind OF
whom there Is any record, the sense
of touch is most acute in Miss Linnie
Haguewood, Of Iowa. who is at pres
ent as a ward of the State of Iowa
receiving her education in the South
Dakota School for the Blind.
Miss Haguewood is an unusually
bright girl, considering that almost
nothing was done for her in the way
Of schooling until she was fifteen
She is practical, businesslike and a
mechanical genius, but she doesn't

She loves music. She has a large

Our wild Cherries.

In the early history of America two
species Of cherry were found wild.
The common one grows to large

Ccrasus scrotina. This Ia what is us.

wild cherry. Wild cherry bark and

another species which seldom makes

known rs large shrub. This IA the
CeraSus Nirginiana. II is better known

The Training OF sight.

Lord Wolseley having lately re-
marked upon the good sight Of the
Beers as one cau,p at least of their
good shooting, and having ascribed
this good sight to It's constant exercise
in the open air. Mr.. Brudenell Carter
has pointed out that it is not merely
a question OF opsl air but of 5he
training OF the sight upon things that
are far off and difficult TO see. The
defective vision possessed by so many
children who have been brought up
in towns is not caused by errors OF
refrdction alone, common as these
are. but an actual deficiency In acute
ness OF vision. lack of development
in the nervous structures involved IN
the act of seeing Vision" he says,
like every other nerve function, must
be cultivated for the attainment Of
high degree Of excellence. The visual
power OF London children is not cul-
tivated by their environment They
see the other side OF the street IL
which they live, and the carts and
omnibuses OF the thOroughfare. They
ton directed strongly 10 any object
which IL is difficult TO see or which
subtends n visual angle approaching
The limits of visibility: and hence the
seeing function is never eXerted 10
anything like what should be the ex
tent Of its powers With 4 country
child the case is widely different"
Mr.. Carter would like to see place
given to excellenca OF vision among
the various physical qualifications
which are habitually tested by CON-
petition. and for which prizes are
awarded. and he urges ths desirability
OF volunteers taking up exercise and
training OF sieht. 1T is at least GER

Sotions in the Bedroom.

Lovers OF modern fads are furnish
ing bedrooms with art-nouveau sets,
wondrous in curve and color They
are eccentric in form and illaid with
weird flowers, the like Of which never
grew in any earthly garden. These
art-nouveau sets come in mahogany as
as we'll as In tulip, sandal, satin and
other light-colOred woods. Another
modern notion that owes nothing to
the past is the srcen-stained and
fumed .oak furniture, with ornaments
of dull silver, copper or wrought iron.
For a country-hOuse bedroom this
cool, green wood is very pretty. One
room furnished with it had walls Of
plain green and deep friezc cf yellow
daf'odils. The Coor was stained

Clever Cats.

those four cats run ahead and into

But that is n small part of the wis.

Thrilling Fight with silver-Tip.

~ WO weeks ago OLD Joe ocott
COW punchers brought in the
news of the slaughter OF q
half dozen calves and several
half-grown steers on his ranch in East
ern Arizona. Bear tracks showed the
character Of the marauders, and the
old rancher, with Abe and Harvey. his
sons. both locally famous as crack
shots and expert rOpers, set out IN
pursuit, says the San Francisco Bull
letin.
With a pack Of hounds they were
soon on the trail, and late In the after
noon came upon an immense female
silver-tip, with two cubs nearly half
grown. The three had beaten off the
dogs and stood at bay in narrow ar
royo. The first three shots brought
down the cubs, and the dogs soon
finished them. while the old bear, with
a bullet in her shoulder, rushed upon
the party.
The impetuousness Of the onslaught
of a cornered and maddened Arizona
silver-tip has It's equal only In the at
tack OF the larger grizzly OF the North.
Somewhat smaller than the grizzly, the
silver-tip is proportionately lighter and
much shiftier on its feet, and II
wounded and furious female handles
herself like a mountain lion.
Harvey, the younger boy, was near
est TO her, and she bowled over him
like tenpin, one paw ripping out the
entire side Of his coat and shirt As
she turned on Abe the old man closed
in with his 1ix-shooter.
In an instant she had Abe down, and
only his activity saved his life. Duck
ing his head under her jaw, he escaped
crushing In the massive molars, and
she tore a piece from his sleeves Old
Scott was emptying his revolver into
her breast, and she rolled over with
three holes in her henrt.
Later in the day the dogs Jumped five
small black bears, freeing them after
but short chase, the quarry being
fat and awkward from high life In the
Juniper and oak scrub. Four of them
fell an easy prey to the hunters. ana
the fifth one. n half-grown female, was
cornered by the dogs and then ropcd
and tied to n sapling. Such fight, how
ever, did she show, that 1t became nee
essary finally to shoot her.
The following day a large, male sll-
ver-tip was killed after hard fight, In
which he crushed two Of Scott's best
hounds. His mate took refuge In
cave. A green wood fire smoked her
out, and she came with rush. falling
fifty yards away, with four holes
through her body. Nine more black
bears made up the final bag, In what
is perhaps the largest number OF bears
ever killed In so short time by three
men. Scott sold his skins for $500,
and believes that the bear business. IN
der present conditions, Is much more
profitable than cattle hcrding In n
bear region. He put an extra force
OF COW punchers with his herd. and
by frequent trips into the timber, to-
gether with poisoned carcasses and
traps. he hopes to save his young
beeves and make record ca,ch CT

Attacked by q Buck.

Walter Ahrens, n pipeline w3is"",
while on his rounds through the
woods of upper Lycoming County.
Pennsylvania, the other day was at
tacked by wounded buck, and his
life was saved only by the arrival on
the scene Of the hunter who had
wounded the deer.
The buck had lain Gown behind q
log. and was not seen by Ahrens until
II rose. with the bristcs on its neck
erect, and its eyes flashlnc with
anger and rushed upon Ahrels. Cnc

lessly on the ground.
The deer knocked Ahrors Gown be-

and the blow knocked the breath out
of Ahrens. and the buck came down
upon him with its fore-fcct, an attack

A wounded buck is the most dreaded
object to bc net with in thc woods,
aud this one sool hammered hhrCnS
into unconsciouslcss with the force
Of the blows from It's sharp h)ocJ, as
he lay helpless on the ground.
Ahrens was armed with revolver,
but the GcCrs attack was so sudden

seconds more of the fierce assaults OF
the buck would have curely cnCCl
