LAST STAND OF THE ELK.
Few Herds Left in Southern Oregon
Along the Coos River.


There is a vast region in southern Ore
gon where the watersheds slope toward
the coast Here Coos river rises and
winds its way westward through noun
tain deiiles; and to the south the North
Fork of Coquille river and its tributaries
rise and flow through passes even more
abrupt; then to the north Lake creek
and its branches drain large district,
and its waters finally flow into the imp
qua. a few small herds of elk still roam
in their wild freedom over this territory
their last stand-for the settlements
are fast crowding them back, and the
memorable tread Of fate will soon see
their last haunt appropriated by man.
Formerly thousands of elk inhabited
this wild and almost inaccessible range.
The mountains being so rough and
densely timbered, the most hardy woods
men hesitate before undertaking the diff
icult task of following the few dim
trails that lead into them, much less
think of bringing out their antlers and
meat. Here the hunter may travel
through many townships under thickly
interviewer giant treetops with scarcely
an opportunity to see the blue sky. and
the deep shadows of eventide are always
present. The canons are deep. and their
walls of dark-green blend into the blue
black shadows of the dizzy depths be-
low. All about you are long, low,
crooked ridges and saw-toothed ranges
in the distance which impress you with
the magnitude of this great region where
the happy rays of light are lost in noun
tain gloom. The dark green confer
woods-the softest of forest scenery
give no hint of the tangle of vines and
windfalls where the object of the quest
seeks cover from the hunter
The elk has learned to avoid the few
trails that follow the main chain of di-
vides and watersheds of this region. He
finds the heads of the small streams that
rise in the deep gorges less frequented
by man. so makes his homes in these
deep canons where he can feed undis-
turbed. Here the luyuriant browse. and
the fallen timber and underground offer
him suitable place to ruminate. In
these places silence and shade join with
the harmony of the vast tangle of green,
brown. red and gray in shielding the
wild wards from their foes.--Recreation

SERMONETTES.

Deferred punishments are only get
ing ripe.
Gold is tried by fire and man often
by gold.
You cannot conquer any weakness
by coddling it.
The straight face often goes with a
crooked heart.
Foggy thinking usually boasts of its
freedom.
Borrow trouble and you will soon be
rich in misery.
The life that reaches farthest helps
most those nearest.
1t is easy to mistake being stuck
fast for being steadfast.
1t is slow work curing the worlds
ills by preaching our isms.
Nothing is accomplished by those
who are afraid of overwork.
The worker who watches the clock
never acquires the right to set it.
No man comes to himself until he
knows that he belongs to his world
The man who puts his substance
down his throat Is soon taken at his
face value.
Some imagine that just life is one
spent in Judging other people.
No man lays up treasure in heaven
by sendirs verbal p-omisscry notes
there.
Lots Of people are waiting for a
rest in heaven who never knew the
heaven of work
Many man finds that all the piety
he got in meeting oyaporates when he
goes milking.
The biggest coward Of all Is the man
who is not afraid Of doing that which
he knows to be wrong.
You can measure the bitterness of
the adversary's pin by the thickness
of the sugar coating.

WEB OF MADAGASCAR SPIDER.

Madagascar that the webs spun many
feet across the walks or shady avenues

thereon a light bamboo walking cane.
At the Paris exposition Of 1900 a whole
piece of fabric eighteen yards long and
eighteen inches wide was exhibited which
was woven out of this web, for which
It was necessary TO provide 100000
yards of spun thread of twenty-fOur
strands.
For its manufacture $4,000 spiders
had to be brought into requistlon, and
these were procured by Offering the ma

ing or ignoring the purposes for which
the insects were required, and having
get rich quick desire, they brought
them in by basketfuls mostly dead. II
was found necessary for the winding off
machines to go to the spiders instead Of
calling in the spiders to the hlatories.
However, the piece Of cloth was com
pleted and was of a shimmering golden
yellow color.
THE idea Of obtaining silk from the
spider is an old one, MS distinguished
men in France discoursed on the subject
as long ago as 1910, but the first study
of this Madagascar spider came up some
ten years ago, and the spinning of It's
web was then undertaken. 1t is only
