POLAR BEAR-HUNT ON SHIP.
Animal Gains His Liberty While be-
Ing Transferred, and Makes
Things Lively.

For 2h hours polar bear was In
command of the forecastle of the fast
freight steamer Cevic, which arrived at
New York city the other night from
Liverpool. twas only after two hours
OF prodding and firing of blank cart
ridges that the animal was willing TO
come off his perch on an upper berth
and enter his cage. Among the live
stock brought over on the Cevic was
consignment Of four polar bears. They
were in one cage. 1t was desired be-
fore landing them TO transfer them to
smaller cages. Two of the bears had
been transferred. One of the two re-
naming was sick, and it was decided to
leave this bear in the large cage. The
small cage was drawn alongside the
larger one, the doors opposite each
other. The sick bear walked into the
cage and had to be driven out again.
There was some difficulty in persuad-
ing the other to leave the big cage.
At last with a crash he forced be-
tween the two and was free. He start
ed for the door of the forecastle. Once
inside he could not be persuaded TO
leave. The door was closed and he was
left in command.
Finally, the owner himself came, and
with three others he entered the fore
castle. The cage was drawn up against
the open door, and men gathered
around it. The men inside were armed
with poles of different lengths and fire.
arms.
Soon there was a popping of blank
cartridges. The bear, who had dis
played considerable temper, now
showed signs of cooling. He became
more tractable, and finally came down
from the berth and entered his cage.

A QUEER COMBINATION.
Join Forces and Do Thriving
Business.

One of the shrewdest business COM
binations on record has been formed
in Paris by two Aisters, one Of whom
is a doctor and the other corset
maker.
Since they have Joined forces they
have been receiving more business
than they can comfortably attend to.
Customers calling are first ushered
into the doctors consulting-room.
There they undergo a regular med
zeal examination. They have to an
swer the usual practitioners ques-
tions, the pulse is felt, lungs sounded,
heart listened to and so on.
The doctor then writes out pre-
scription-in other words an exac. de-
scription of the kind of corset which
the build or state of health of each GUS
toner requires that she shallwear.
They are then uEhered into the
room where the sister presides over
her branch of the business and takes
the measurements in strict accordance
with the medical instructions.
The partnership Of stay~maker and
physician has proved so successful
that, although the charges made are
on the highest scale Of the corset
trade, consultingroom and fitting
shop are always crowded.

WOMAN'S NURSE CORPS.
Surgeon General Hlxey Favors It's
Establishment for the United
states Navy.

The first annual report of Surgeon
General Rixcy shows that the health Of
the navy and marine corps was good
throughout the last fiscal year, the
percentage Of sick and the death rate
being lower than for several years. The
most important recommendation of
the report perhaps is that congress
provide for the establishment of
woman's nurse corps for the navy to
consist Of one superintendent, eight
head nurses, 16 frst-class and "a sec
ond-classs nurses, these numbers to be
increased at the discretion of the Sec
rotary. The surgeon general says:
THAT women are the superiors of
men for the work Of nursing there can
be no question, and The objection that
they are not compatible with military
conditions can scarcely apply to insti-
tutions Of the character OF our large
naval hospitals"
The surgeon general also makes
strong plea for the appointment Of
dentists for the navy, pointing out that
many otherwise good recruits for the
service are lost for lack of dental care.

Curious Surgical Case.

The popular belief that a man who
receives a wound from a bullet in the
heart is bound to die therefrom almost
instantaneously is now seen TO be I'M
founded, for at the last meeting Of the
French Academy Of Medicine DR., Pey-
rat told of a man who was restored to
health after his heart had been pierced
by ball from revolver. The wound
ed man, he said was placed in n hos
pitni in Paris and DR.. launay, a noted
surgeon, operated on him there with
great success. According to DR. Peyrat
this is the only case of the kind on
record. True, statistics recently COM
piled by DR.. Dentu show that out Of
every hundred persons who receive
wounds in the heart from swords or
duRgcrs from 80 to AZ are cured, but,
though medical books have been care
fully searched, no record has been
found in them Of man who has been
rescued from death after his heart had
been perforated by BALM, Y.

New Facilities for Reaching the Pacific
Coast. Low Rates, Improved Train
Services and Unprecedented Travel to
California and Oregon. The Service
this Winter 10 be better than ever.
Special Attention is being given to
Tourists Sleeping Car Parties.
The ans-continental lines have been
making extensive efforts lately to
improve their service to and from the
Pacific Coast, the latest development
announced being that the personally
conducted feature Of the Chicago d
North Western and Union Pacific ser
vice is to be expanded and extended to
include personally conducted excursions
to the Coast twice week from Chicago
via Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City,
in addition TO the three u week now
operated to the Coast via Omaha and
Cheyenne. This gives the tourist a
chance to enjoy the most beautiful
scenery that Colorado affords, the route
being through Colorado Springs past
Pixies Peak and via the Royal Gorge,
Gleuwood Springs and Salt Lake City.
This, with the two tours week via
Cheyenne and Ogden to Sacramento,
San Francisco and Los Angeles and one
week to Portland makes five person
ally conducted excursions per week
from Chicago to California, Oregon and
Washington.
This personally conducted feature
has expanded wonderfully in the last
few years. The Service has steadily i'm.
proved, so that Pullman tourist sleep
ing cars have all the conveniences of
the standard sleeper and are particular
ly well adapted to the use of family
parties and those who desire economy
in travel. With the low rates now in
effect to the Coast,this branch of the
service promises to be very popular in
deed. and will doubtless enable thou
sands to visit the Coast who otherwise
would have been unable to go. These
thosands will include "a large percentage
of people who hope to find on the sunny
slopes of the Pacific place where life's
hard struggle may be made easier and
where competence may be gained
with a small investment in fruit raising
or some similar occupation; to which
class is added the invalid who finds in
the far West the dry and balmy air and
sunshinv days that bring health and
strength that the East failed to pro-
vide.

FRIEND TO NEWSPAPER MEN.
Quite Number Who Can Boast Of
Personal Favors from King
Edward.

No monarch, according to London
IN. A. p" has shown warmer appre-
citation OF newspaper power and news
paper men than King Edward. There
are quite number OF the latter who
can boast of his personal friendship,
and are able to show trinkets which
he has given them as souvenirs. Sew
eral, indeed, belong TO his immediate
circle, notable Sir Billy Russell. the
veteran war correspondent OF the
Times, who was once attached to his
suite as honorary private secretary,
and has still, l believe, the right to
wear the household button when in
court dress. King Edward, until the
time OF his accession to the throne,
was in the habit of paying an annual
visit to Sir Edward Lawson, the editor
and proprietor of the London Daily
Telegraph, as a sort of recognition for
the support which that paper had
given to his own and Queen Alexan-
dria's charitable enterprises. AT least
two dozen newspaper editors were
knighted by Queen Victoria at the sug-
gestion of the king, several newspaper
proprietors have received baronetcies,
and one, Lord Glenesk, has received a
peerage.

PATENT RIGHTS IN FAR EAST.
by the Governments of the Occl-
dcutaI Countries.

Nothing better illustrates the differ
ence between occidental and oriental
civilization than the manner in which
inventions are regarded by the respec-
tive governments, says the New York
Post,
In the west the inventor is honored
and his invention is protected by let
ters patent, copyrights and trade
marks, while no attention is bestowed
upon those who are thrown out OF
employment through the invention
itself, In the far east the inventor is
regarded as mere artisan; there are
no patents to protect or reward him,
and the laborer is protected by the
authorities against any and all things
which tend to injure his calling.
cit is this attitude Of the governing
classes" said an exporter, (which puz-
zlcs q merchant and which threatens
serious consequences in the Industrial
and commercial world before many
years have passed by. Even at the
present time it works injustice from a
western point Of view, Thus on one
occasion a large house sent consign-
mcnt Of fine lamps to Japan. They
were the latest design and were pro-
tected by letters patent. They sold
promptly in Yokohama and the agent
wrote home for a larger invoice. When
these arrived not one could be sold.
The puzzled agent made inquiry and
found that the first lot had been pur-
chased by manufacturers, who inn
mcdiately initiated them and put the
limitations on the market at less tbs m
half the price for which the originals
could be sold"
A similar experience was had by n
concern which exporte% thanksgiving
machines to Japan and China. With
the exception Of goods whose making
requires expensive and complicated
machinery, it does not pay to export
any thing on a large scale to the far
east which can be initiated by the
clever artisans in that part OF the
world. 1t is to be hoped that Japan
and China will cnjoin the International
Copyright league and enact broad pat
ent laws. Until this is done the foreign

ABOUT LIVING IN FLATS.
The Question ms TO Its DemoraiizinK
Eject on People and Its Proper
Answer,

The fiat dwellers, as class, have
worried the social philosopher good
deal. The scheme of daily existence
which they have adopted is great
change from that according to which
the American people lived for 200 or
800 years, says Harper's Weekly When
a family occupy whole house among
other whole houses, they may be said
to live with their sign out and their
flag flying. The conditions under
which people live thus housed and sur
rounded are an equivalent OF the
French etat civil, though we do not
formally require our citizens to hive
under that sort Of official certlhcate
of identity and responsibility. The
American fiat dweller is subject Meth
er to the official inquisition nor to the
fierce light that beats on the detached
villa. Nobody observes his comings and
goings. He is in most respects the
freest man in the world, the only tyran-
mics TO which he is subjected being the
ianitor's hard-hearted denial of steam
heat just when steam heat is most
desperately needed, and the tendency
of the people in the fiat above to tramp
about at the very moment when one is
trying TO get to sleep. These are ma
terial not moral, forms of pressure.
The fiat dweller is free, socially alone,
under no neghborhood superintend-
ence. He Is hidden from all the earth.
What is the result? Has anyone dis
covered that the life is essentially de-
moralizing? Unless some one is able
TO supply evidence not now at hand to
prove that it is, we shall have to con-
clude that the fact that the domestic
virtues continue TO flourish among our
present immense population of Ameri-
can fiat dwellers is just so much new
support for our national theory that
the citizen does not need the attend
ance of a policeman or detective to
make him good. Publicity may be de-
sirable for corporations, since they
have no souls. II is not especially
necessary for the free and we'l-taught
citizen, because he has a SOUL and his
soul regulates his body the better for
being subjectto no earthly supervision
but his own. Or at any rate, 1t does so
unless we are running our country en-
tirely on the wrong basis-and we do
not think we are.

TO STOP DOUBLE COMMISSIONS
Postal OmcisIs Take steps to Prevent
Unfair Advantage BEING Taken
OF Uncle Sam.

Postmaster General Payne publicly
announced recently that he would dis
miss any postmaster found guilty Of
collecting or aiding to collect double
commissions on sales OF stamps. 1t
has become the practice of some fourth
class postmasters located near pres1-
Dental offices to have mail originating
within the limits Of the latter deposited
in the fourth class Office through an i'm
piled agreement. Thus the fourth
class postmaster derives great benefit
from this plan when the department
makes its annual Reconsideration OF
salaries, and as the stamps are pur-
chased at presidential post Office the
government thus pays twice on this
class of business-to the presidential
postmaster for sales of stamps and to
the fourth class postmaster on can
cellations made.
Single cases of this kind have been
found at intervals for some years, but
OF late the practice has attained such,
large proportions and become so seri-
Gus that the law officials Of the depart
ment were attracted.
1t Is a violation Of the postal regula-
tons for a postmaster to solicit, and
while in no single case has such vio-
lation been proven, the department will
hereafter take it for granted that
there is an Interior motive where mail
Is deposited outside the limits Of the
Office where it originates, and the Of
Tending postmaster will be dismissed

Brain Food and Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is need
ed for brain, another for muscles, and
still lanother for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular part
of the body, but it will sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your
food may be, it's nutriment is destroyed
by Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
VEN their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mill
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
p~urifies the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous. You can get

PeriIs of Our Presidents.

All of our Presidents have been in
the habit of mingling freely with the
people, usually without any particular
precaution being made for their safety.
The danger of this has been SO emphat-
ically pointed out in the last few
months, that wise statesmen suggest
that the old plan be discontinued
There is also cause for great danger in
many of the so-called remedies adver-
tised for stomach, liver and bowel COM
plants. The safest medicine to take is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t has
been before the public for fifty years,
and has always been found safe and re-
liable in cases of nervousness, insom-
MIA, Indigestion, dyspepsia and malaria,
fever and ague. 1t therefore occupies
the foremost position in the list of
household remedies, and no family
should be without it.

UNJUST p~oSTOFFIcE DEPARTMENT RULING.

The National Publishing Bureau has
issued a card calling attention to a new
ruling of the Postoffice Department. 1t
il to the effect that a subscription to
any publication entered in the post
office as second-class matter must be
discontinued when the time for which
it is paid in advance has expired. This
is a radical ruling; it seems opposed to
all law, and if enforced it certainly will
work a revolution in the publishing
business. There is hardly a newspaper
States that discontinues service to a
subscriber upon the date of his sub
Scription expiring. People are leisurely
about paying for their reading matter,
and a cereful business man often re-
news his subscription when his paper
label or the office book shows him to
be a month in arrears. If his paper
were stopped the day his subscription
expired he would consider it an i'm
pedcnlleHt Vi MS circuit. Inc system
proposed by the Postotfice Department
is ideal. If it were already we'll estab-
liShed and the people were used to ii
publishers would be far better off, but
getting it into operation would entail
great dissatisfaction and considerable
loss to publishers. Publishing concerns
ere preparing to oppose the ruling in
may rescind it.
