Modified THE GRIZZLY.
Chief Of Southern Utes Had an In.
terview with a Bear at Close
Quarters.

"The most interesting story |
ever heard came from the lips Of
old 'Buckskin Charley, chief of
the southern Utes," said Mr.. J. p.
Altberger, of Philadelphia, to a
Washington Post reporter.
GAS told by a white man the
narrative is tame, indeed, lacking
the dramatic action and e%lOquence
of the red warrior. twas about a
meeting with a big grizzly bear in
the mountains of Colorado.
Charley was out looking for deer.
He was equipped with an old-fash-
Toned, single-barrel, muzzle-load
ing rifle, which put him at a terri
BILE disadvantage, when he was
suddenly confronted by one of the
biggest specimens of the grizzly
tribe he ever saw.
az jumped behind big tree very
quick he said, and MI. Bear came
close, rearing up on his hind legs
l was scared to shoot, only hav.
ing one barrel. Then l com
menced to talk. l said: "Mr. Bear
l am your friend. leone out after
deer. / hope you 60 way and so
kill deer and leave big piece o
meat for you" Then the bear
seemed to get friendly, and h,
dropped on his legs to the ground
much as to say he'd like a piec.
of deer, and then he run off int,

THE CATCHING OF CRABS.
Some Facts About the Chesapeake
Soft-Shen and his Captocs-
A Summer Industry.

The Chesapeake sOft-shell crab
is a delicacy and a luxury in every
market between the Atlantic and
Denver; and he grows more and
more popular as season follows
season.
The season Of the soft-shell crab
is from the early days of May to
the late days of September, and
its chief or best cultivated and
most patronized habitat is the
shallow and warm hooks, sounds
and inlets of Chesapeake bay.
Here it swarms like ants in a hill,
like bees in a pOsy garden, like
prairie dogs in a rodent town.
Jersey waters produce some crabs;
but the Chesapeake crabbers
supply the market; and they make
money by doing it.
The grabbing feet numbers per
haps 1,500 boats - little crafts
theyare, usually with a tiny cabin;
manned by two or more men. Not
less than 500 of these boats sail
from the little village of Crisfeld,
Md, alone.
The crabs are caught by trailing
along the bottom of the shallow
waters, through the sea grass and
sea weed, a light cage Of iron, a
sort of skeleton and coop, called
by the crabbers a drag. 1t is
drawn up frequently; empty but
seldom. The take is from 200
crabs a day at the opening of the
season to 1000 crabs a day in mid
season, to each boat worked by
two men.
The crabs are graded by size,
Grated and shipped to market.
Hard-shell crabs are taken to
the "crab yard" where they are
detained imprisoned in frames.
and examined daily to see if they
have shed their hard shells. Such
as have are taken out and packed
for transportation to market
The captive may shed his shell il
a day or two or he may wear il
for a month.

JAPAN's RAPID PROGRESS
Has Converted Herself Into a Power
full Nation in the Last Quarter
Of a Century.

When | visited Yeddo and the
ports of Japan in the winter of
aS60-61 the country was ruled
upon the most exclusive Japanese
methods, wrote Lord Wolseley in
the Cosmopolitan in 1895. The
people were held in subsection by
a hereditary nobility who ruled
them with a rod of iron. They
were then far behind China in all
matters connected with sea pow.
er, for in order to prevent any
communication with foreign
places all japanese junks were, in
accordance with the law, con.
structed with low, open sterns,
Sc that they dared not venture be.
yond a few miles from shore.
Nc one can be blind to the enOr
nous strides in progress Japan
has made, the immense reforms
She has effected and the powerful
nation she has converted herself
into during the last quarter of
century. The result is the crea
ton Of a power in the eastern sea-
that must in future be Away
taken into consideration by west
ern statesmen.

is LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Made Against the New Wom-
Reconsideration That Might
Lead Her to Admit 1t.

One Of the charges that are
made against the new woman is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister who abides closely in
what is called woman's sphere"
says the Portland Oregonian.
But in the light of the above ar
raighment of sympathy as the vice
that it not infrequently is, may
not the "new woman" confess
Judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her posi-
ton by so doing? Woman has
been called a ministering angel,
but would not a more practical
name better beft the women of
the twentieth century? viii
not the services of women to the
world be greater and of more en-
during effect if they cast aside un-
reasonable sympathy as a worn
out garment that disclOses rather
than conceals the moral naked
ness of those about whom it Is
cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of personal responsibility?
1t has been said that there is a
woman behind the door of every
mans success. IF there is" says
the writer, ''rest assured that she
isn't a sympathetic woman whin-
ing through the keyhole: Give it
up if it's hard but a woman of
nerve and backbone who, like the
Spartan woman Of old, is crying
out: Come home with your
shield, or on it,"

A recent writer on Turkey says:
'Bedsteads are not used by the
Turks. Each room contains a
large cupboard, built into the
wall, in which the bedding is piled
during the day, and at night the
slaves come in when summoned to
make up the beds on the floor.
Other bedroom requisites, in the
shape of washstands, dressing
tables and wardrobes, are dis.
pensed with as superauous. For
everyday ablution there is a small
washing room with a hole in the
floor for the water to escape
through, and if the hanun would
wash her hands and face only, a
slave brings the ever and basin
and pours the water over her
hands. For special additions she
will go either to her own private
hammam or to the public baths
She does her hair or has it done
for her, seated cross legged in hel
corner of the diyan; and the ole
walnut-wood chests and Golfers il
her treasure-room suffice to store
her GAUGES and brOcades, her silk
and embr0ideries."

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS
Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses of
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused of
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard Paurs new egg
story is not open to any such re-
proach, says London Truth. In
variably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing

two verses. "Aunt Dinah," asked
Mr.. Paul, care there not three
verses in that hymn?" "Dar is,

Queer -snecnIntion.

The sermon of a British vicar
charging great immortality in the
pottery towns in Staffordshire has
caused discussion Of life in the
potteries. A curious feature is
speculation on the lives of others.
The business OF the insurance com
panies there is largely directed to
persuading people to insure the
lives of others as a speculation.
Wives are urged to insure their
husbands, and sons and daughters
to take out a policy on their
parents lives, For a penny a
week a girl insures her father for
.e5. No medical examination is re
CURED, and it is simply a gamble
on death. This was amusingly
shown by recent case. A doctor
in one of the pottery towns was
reported to be dying Of cancer
The rumor was false, and the doc
tor, completely recovered of hii
illness, was surprised to learI
that his charwoman had staket
twOpence a week on his death.

MAIDS EvAsNE ANSWER.
Her Employer Was Busy and Could
Not Receive Caiiers-What
She Told Them.

Strange as it may seem, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, there is
q public man in this city who is
blessed or cursed with a tender
conscience that worries him in
small matters as we'll as in great.
Among the things that he cannot
Justify to himself is the bidding
q servant to say that he is
not at home when in reality he is
inside his house. AT the same
time he is not able to receive
many visitors who call upon him,
aud his only resource was to give
instructions that polite excuses
should be given. Upon one occa-
sion such instructions were given
to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with
the readiness and good wit of her
nation.
"Then I'm to be saying, sir, that
you're not at home?" the maid in
Nuired.
mo, Mary, no" was the reply;
chat would not be true. If any
one should ask for me, you must
Just put him off-give him some
evasiye answer, you know"
"Tll do it, sir, never fear" was
the maids reply. Mary was as
good as her word.
That afternoon a person of i'm
portance made his appearance,
and was duly sent away. The
faithful maid reported the cir
cumstance TO her employer.
"What did you do, Mary?" in
quired the latter, with some trep-
idation.
ooh, l just put him off, sir as you
told me. | gave him an evasiye
hnswer."
"Yes, but what did you say to
him%
ooh, sure he axed me if the boss
was at home, and I said to him
WAS his grandmother a mon
key?'" a

NEW USE OF P~HoNooRAPH.
British Cabinet Minister Dictates to
the Machine and the Records
Are Sent to His Clerks.

Since his accession to cab
met rank Mr.. Graham Murray has
made a still greater use of the
photograph for the conduct of his
correspondence as secretary OF
state for Scotland than he did
during the period when he acted
as lord advocate in the same de-
partment, says the London
Graphic. Some FIVE or six dozen
"records" are now constantly in
use, and to these the minister die
tates the replies to his numerous
letters. together with a mass of
other detail work connected with
the Office over which he presides.
These are then forwarded to Lon
don, if he happens to be in Scot
land, and the contents are taken
down by his secretaries in White
hall. This done, the records" are
scraped off and the cylinders are
once more ready for use. Bykeep
ing a phonograph both in Londo1
and Scotland the secretary O
state, alone among his colleague,
in Mr.. Balfour's reconstructed
cabinet, is able to give viva-yocr
instructions to his department a

Accordingly the physician and his
assistant loaded into their carriage a
great quantity Of bandages, and iodo-
form gauze and absorbent cotton, to-
gether with probes OF every size and
shape, anaesthetics and spIints. They
were equipped to dress the wounds of
a small army, and great, therefore,
was their disgust, upon reaching the
Frenchman's house, to find that moth
ing allied him but a mere sword
scratch in the forearm.
DR.. Lorenz, with a smile, sent his
assistant for some warm water, and
for its arrival to dress the tiny
wound. The Frenchman, grooming
fearfully, said to him:
