road on which he was travelling ran
the well-belten way along which the
saw logs were drawn to the river
side Down this icy track came
beautiful deer, followed by single
gaunt gray timber wolf.
The deer would bound along for
few score yards at an amazing rate
of speed, and then stop to listen and
look about, whereas the tireless pur-
suer kept up the same steady pace
in the most confident and business
like manner.
When about a quarter of a mile
from the side of the lake the deer
slackened his pace to trot before
coming to dead stop. The crafty
wolf had made tremendous squirt.
The deer seemed neither to see nor
hear its pursuer, owing perhaps to
a winding of the road and to the fact
that the wind was dead against it.
In an instant the wolf seemed to
spring some dozen feet or so through
the air and fasten upon the deer's
flank A moments gallant struggle
and the deer was dragged down and
its butcher was devouring its hind
quarters without waiting to destroy
its life.
White had reached the intersection
of the roads just before this, and
rushed his horses to the scene. He
was without firearms. but the wolf
sneaked off on one side through. the
snow from the still breathing body
as the team approached VIA a
blow of his axe White put the $affer-
ing creature out of its pain. Tfen he
managed TO drag the carcass On to
his sleigh.
The wolf, which was sQuatting dog
fashion within ten yards of him, lift
tremendous howl as White did this,
but made no attempt TO come to close
quarters with him. White. enranged
at the impudence of the brute, swung
his axe around his head and let it
fly at the wolf His aim was true,
but the wolf was wary and lodged in
time, although the axe handle struck
its hind leg with sufficient force to
send it away yelping.
After recovering his weapon the
man went on his way The wolf paus-
I ed long enough to devour the blood
covered snow where the deer had
fallen and then made after the sleigh,
which he followed, Jogging along like
a coach dog, until the depot buildings
were reached. Then he sat down and
for ten minutes gave vent to his in
jured feelings in series Of bowls.

THE ESKIMO BATE,
So Strenuous Ordinary Persons Would
Die From Its Effects.

so strenuous ordinary PERSONS WOuiu
Die From Its Effects.
Boys who make fuss because their
parents oblige them to take frequent
baths should be glad that they are not
Eskimo children living on the shores
of Norton Sound. In that cold region
of Alaska all the boys are obliged
to take sweat bath every week, and
this bath is no joke, you will find.
A fire of driftwood is built in the
centre of the floor of the kashim-the
one-roomed house where the men and
boys of a village pass most of their
time-and when the smoke has pass
glowing Goals, a cover is put over the
smoke-hole in the roof, and the place
becomes intensely hot.
The boys then must take off their
clothes and sit about the furnace like
apartment until their skin becomes as
red as the shell OF boiled lobster
and seems on the point of blistering.
Owing to the intense heat, the
bathers are obliged to wear respira-
tors to protect their lungs. These
respirators are pads of shavings bound
together, concave on the inside and
convex. on the outside, and large
enough to cover the mouth, nose and
part of the cheeks of the wearer.
The boys sit there until they are
dripping with perspiration. Then
they rush outside into the intense
cold and roll in the snow.
A gentleman who spent between
four and five years in the neighbor-
hood of Behring Strait says that on
several occasions he saw them go
from the sweet bath to holes in the
ice on neighboring stream, and
squatting there, pour ice water over
their backs and shoulders with a
wooden dipper, apparently experience
ing the greatest pleasure from the
operation.
Although the Eskimo boys seem to
withstand such bath as this all right
and even to enjoy it, it would, in all
probability. kill any boy who tried it.

In Berlin it is learned that official and

Hammer Away at Port Arthur.
A Port Arthur dispatch states that
the Japanese feet, which prepared We'd
nesday night to lombard the city, but
was dispersed by a heavy gale, reap
peared shortly after midnight Thursday
morning and opened fire. The lombard
ment continued internationally until
o'clock, when the squadron withdrew.
While Admiral Togo's fleet of Japan
ese warships was bombarding Port Ar
thur, after riding out a gale, the Mi
kado's troops, from east and west, were
fighting back the Russians and rushing
to close the Liao-Tung peninsula. Their
apparently assured success left the 49,
600 Russian troops at Port Arthur in
death trap from which there seemed no
escape The cutting of the railway line
at Mukden cut off the supply of provis-
ions and brought the garrison face to
face with starvation. The announcement
that the Russians were hurrging 1000
men as re-enforcements to New Chwang
showed they realized the desperate sit
uation.
On the other side of the peninsula
whose point is Port Arthur the Jap
anese, after landing Mt Taku-Shan, have
forced $4,000 Russians back to Feng-
huancheng. Russian requirements,
Toxic hears, are being rushed TO New
Chwang. 1t is reported that 1000 troops
have already arrived there.
A plan is on foot among the Russians
to block the mouth of the Lao river with
junks and torpedoes. The Japs, march
ing along the Pekin road from Korea,
have seized every town. including Fung-
huanchang, which is fifty miles west of
the Yalu river The fighting has been
severe.
Their vast army, strategically landed
and deployed, has driven the Russians
from Korea and far back into Manchuria
by thanking movements. which, according
to military authorities. have not been
equalled since Napoleons day.

Muntz found that beans were quite

According to 81 English authority,
this amount would prove harmful, and
FIVE pounds Of beans per day or

A Dakota farmer writes as follows:
Five or six years ago we tried a
heavy coat of strawy horse manure on
the high ground of our pasture where
the grass was quite short At first the
grass was almost smothered out, but
within the last year or two a sort Of
second growth grass has come in, and
the feed on the MANFRED spots seems
at least so per cent better than it was
before manuring. We shall try some
more of this work next year on land
not convenient to pillow.
Where worn out pastures are suited
for blowing, a good plan would be to
first seed an old pillow field with Bronze
grass for a pasture and then break up
the old pasture. thus starting system
of rotation that should eventually
take in the whole farm. ONCE started,
Bronze grass as a pasture grass is
the best thing L have found But 1

The use of lime on land has not been
largely encouraged by scientists in the
past, though it has been used to a con-
siderable extent in isalated localities.
1t was at first considered from the
standpoint of plant food. and as such
of course it would not receive very
enthusiastic support from men that
had found out by various tests that
there was already in the soil more
lime than the plants could use When
the soils of the various States came
to be examined for acid, it was found
that many of them were so strongly
acid that some of our most important
plants would not grow on them salts
factorily. In the soil surveys carried
on during the past three years in ILL
nois it has been found that one-third
of the soils of the State are so strongly
acid that they will not grow red clover
and other legumes successfully until
treated with lime. OF the other two
thirds of the State some of the soils
are slightly acid and would be i'm
proved by an application of lime.
