cREEs ON A BEAR HUNT.
Indians Of the Far North Make Elab-
crate Preparations for Cap
turing Bruin.

The Wood CSees of the far north have
a great respect for their little brother"
makwa, the bear, and the braves array
themselves for a bear hunt in their
finest dress of ceremony. In "Silent
Places" Mr.. Stewart Edward White de-
scribes an attack on bear by party
Of Indians, as witnessed by two woods
men.
'..Dick and Sam perceived sudden ex-
element in the leading canoes. Hauke-
nah stopped, then cautiously backed
until we'll behind the screen Of the
point.
cts a BEAR said Sam, quietly.
They've gone to get their war-paint on >
In short time the Indian canoes re-
appeared. The Indians had intercepted
their women, unpacked their baggage
and arrayed themselves in buckskin,
deliberately embroidered with beads and
silks in the flower pattern. Ornaments
Of brass and silver, sacred skins Of the
beaver, broad dashes of ocher and YER
million on the naked skin, twisted
streamers of colored wool all added to
the barbaric gorgeousness.
"Phantom-like, without apparently
the slightest directing motion, the bows
Of the canoes swung like wind-vanes to
point toward little heap of drift logs
under the shadow Of an elder bush.
The bear was wallowing in the cool
wet sand.
"Now old Haukemah rose to his height
IN the bow Of his canoe, and began to
speak rapidly in low voice, in the soft
Cree tongue.
20 makwa, our little BROTHER he
said, we come to you not in anger, nor
in disrespect. We come to do you a
kindness. Here are hunger and cold and
enemies. In the Afterland is only hap
piness. So If we shoot you, o makwa,
our little brother, be not angry with U.S.
with the shock of dozen little bull
lets the bear went down. but was i'm
mediately afoot again. He was badly
wounded and thoroughly enraged. Be-
fore the astonished Indians could back
water, he had dashed into the shadows
and planted his paws on the bow of old
Haukemah's canoe.
"Haukemah stood valiantly to the de-
tense, but was promptly upset and
bounced upon by the enraged animal.
Dick Heron rose suddenly to his feet
and shot. The bear collapsed into the
muddied water.
"Haukemah and his steersman rose
dripping. The Indians gathered to ex-
anime in respectful admiration. Dicks
bullet had passed from ear to ear"

NOW A SCHOOL FOR BRIDES
New Kind Of Educational Institution
That Is Flourishing in
Philadelphia.

Earlier generations acquired by prac-
tice many Of the arts now learned in
special schools. Farming, cooking, sew
ing, and various trades will come read
lily to mind as illustrations; but the
newest of all arts to come under the
modern order of things is the art of
being bride, says Youths Companion.
A School for brides" is now -four
fishing in Philadelphia. It ought really
to be called school for wives, for the
benefits it confers are permanent. More
over, brides seldom need to be taught
how to make home happy. They accom-
plish It by virtue of being brides. It
is only when the novelty wears of, when
the newly-married couple begin to awak-
en- from their. dream, that the reserves
of knowledge and tact and sterling
character must be brought to the front.
Then it is that the clear coffee and
the faky pie-crust work their subtle
fascination, and the ability to use money
wisely inspires respect. To entertain
simply but Hospitality, to keep teher-
self the little household trials, and to
look with a tolerant eye on the groom's
occasional visit to the club or on his
renewal Of premarital friendships-
these are among the other accomplish
msnts of an ideal wife which are taught
In the new school. The earnest desire
Of women to make real homes for their
husbands is attested by the fact that
23 present or prospective brides are al
ready enrolled as pupils.
To most persons news Of this venture
will come with the shock Of surprise,
and to many the school may seem alb
surd. It ought rather to be regarded as
most natural. What is really surpris-
ing is the fact that whereas all the spe-
cial occupations Of life are taught in
special schools, training for the most
general and by far the most important
has been left to chance-that is, unless
the home should be called q training
school.
The school for brides supplies q real
need, but it ought not to exist alone. A
school for bridegrooms is Just as neces-
sary-unless the present institution be
made coeductaional.. Young men know
as little about the responsibilities of
married life as young women. and usu-
ally they Med the instruction more.

lions Of life Of suffering are laid at
that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, Of
No. 478 Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich,
writes timely word. She says:

critical time in my life and for seven
teen years I suffered as result. had

sent BENJAMIN back to inquire how long
they were to keep the invitation open.
Satisfied that all their offers of good cheer
would be honored up to the blowing of
the big dinner horn, they hurried down
the frosty lane in high spirits. The road
made a sharp turn in front of the lane,
and that they might not be taken un-
awares, Dick posted John, who was too
shy to address any stranger, where he
might watch in one direction for tbs
faintest tokens of the approach OF any
one. and he and Benjamin located them
selves upon fallen log on the opposite
side of the road to keep an eye out In
the other direction. The sky was blue
and cloudless; the dead leaves fell in
showers at every gust Of wind; in the
woods, not far away, there was now and
then a clatter of falling nuts.
The boys waited in silence for few
minutes. but no one appeared. Benja-
min grew restless II can't sit SO still
and proper. guess I'll run over there
in the woods and pick pocketful Of
those nuts. They're shellbarks, and the
SQUIRRELS are working for their lives"
But lust as he started, John made signs
of distress and Dick, as master Of cere-
monies. came up very properly, and
hastily began to rehearse little speech
which he had prepared as they came
along. A young man, riding . gray
pony, trotted down the highway. As
he approached the curve in the road the
three boys stood up, and were so evil
IDENTIFY waiting for him that he stopped
his horse in great establishment and
stared at them quite as earnestly as they
were staring at him. Gravely and po-
.litely Dick described the state Of af-
fairs at his home, and asked the young
man to lend the sauce of his presence
to their feast.

RussIA's GOLD RESERVE.

The Imperial nank . verftahae
Treasure House. 55
Henry Norman. the we'll known Rus
sian traveler, who visited the Imperial
bank at 81. Petersburg. describes in
the June Worlds Work the treasure
chamber as follows:
The walls OF the apartment were
completely covered up to height OF
about eight feet with shallow cup
boards with doors of strong wire net
ting. leaving their contents plainly WIS.,
ible, each door being both padlocked
and sealed. About five-sixths Of these
cupboards We're completely filed on
narrow shelves with ingots of gold, the
ends Of which made lining of gold
for nearly the length of the. room. The
light was reflected brightly from the
shining metal, and the effect, needless
to say, was highly impressive. I felt
as If some fairy had conducted me to
one Of the caves of gold uselxo read
about with awe as a ct1ld. The bal
ance sheet Of the Bank of Russia for
March 20 stated the total gold reserve
IN the bank to be as follows: Russian
gold coin, 238,O0O,OOO rubles; foreign
gold coin, 142,0OO,OOO rubles; bullion
gold coin, 2O4,OOO,OOO rubles; total.
5s4,O00,OO0 rubles, or $313, ,0OO, 900.
+ The total gold reserve of Russia
reaches the imposing sum of 1,OOO, ,OOO,-
600 rubles. or more than $3.50, 100000. Is
I 1t is, Of course, only comparatively
small part of this vast stock of the pre-
cious metal that would be available
under any circumstances. for a war
fund. This fund would come, in the
first place, from the reserve Of gold 1
saw. The currency law of Russia of
1897 prescribes that up to 100000, 900
rubles paper money may be issued with
gold reserve of only one-half its face
value, but that all subsequent issues
must be covered, ruble for ruble, by a
gold reserve. Now there is nominal
circulation of paper money to the val
ue Of CSC, 100000 rubles, but Of this
there are always at least 100000 to
10000, 900 In the bank; therefore the
effective circulation Of paper. money
Is not more than 65OOOO,OOO, and Of
this, according to law, $50 O,OOO, 900 must
be redeemable by fixed gold deposit
Deducting this sum from the 5S4, 4,OOO,-
600 Of the fixed gold deposit, we have
234,OO0,OOO rubles Immediately availa-
BILE as a war fund, and to this can Ger
tainly be added large part Of the gold
on deposit abroad, belonging, as ex-
planned above, both to the state and to
the Bank Of Russia, the total being,
say, 225,000, 900 say, an available sum
Of 200.OO0,OOO making total war fund
Immediately available Of 484,O0O,OOO
rubles or $225, 100000.

SEEDLESS APPLE.
Features OF . Species Produced b
20 John #. SDenCer.

Features OF . Species Produced by
F. r~..... John r. Spencer.
The seedless apple Is the invention of
John F. Spencer Of Grand Junction,
Colo, says the Philadelphia North Amer
lean. When the navel orange was first
perfected and placed ON the market Mr..
Spencer reasoned that II 1t were pos
sible to drive the seeds out Of the
orange it would be possible to accom-
piish the same with the apple. He ex-
perimented for seven years before at
tanning the desired result.
He was, however, not satisfied with
the mere development Of the apple. 1t
was necessary to determine whether
by budding or grating it was possible
to make seedless apple trees reproduce
themselves. Several additional years
passed before the budded trees grew to
sufficient size to bear fruit. When the
fruit did, appear it was as innocent of
seeds as were the apples from which
1T was budded. = r
Several peculiar features other than
the fact that it lacks seed are to be
found in the new apple. The only
scmblance to a blossom found upon the
new tree is three small green leaves
that look much like petals. These
leaves cover the beginnings of the little
green apple and drop off one by one as
the apple grows larger and becomes
strong enough to grow without protec'
ton. ..
j. As a. direct result Of the absence OF
blossoms, too, the seedless apples are
free from worms. The blossoms pro
vide nests for the coddling moths
whose eggs hatch into the apple worm
There being no blossom there. is NC
nest for the moth. Apple worms, too
live by eating the seeds and SO there
Is nothing for the worms to feed upon
and even though fatched from6he eggs
Of the moth, they would starve Ttc
death. So In addition to being seedless
the new apple Is blossomless and
worthless. @.@
q The new apple produced by Mt
Spencer is a dark red, with small vel
low spots through it and has q yellow
ring at the navel end. The skin u
smooth and will keep longer than any
other apple unless It is bruised tn thu
handling.
