MINER EATEN BY WOLVES.
Survivor Who Is Pursued Fourteen
Days by Pack Relates Fright
full Story.

Seward, Alaska, Sept. 26.-Alonzo
Wells, prospector, who was pursued
for fourteen days by a pack of gray
wolves in the Sustna river country,
north of Cook Inlet, tells horrible
story of the fate that overlook 4
brother miner who was run down by
the beasts
Wells departed from Knik on Knik
Arm, Aug. /, to join bis brother,
Frank Wells, who has mining claims
on Iron creek in the Talkeetna
range. When out four days Wells
fell in with the wolves, who dared
not attack him because he was arm
ed. yet constantly kept company with
him until he reached his destina-
ton.
AT night Wells would climb tree
and lash himself to the trunk in
order to sleep while the wolves
waited below. AT one point on his
journey he heard man shrieking for
help. Making his way to the place
where the sounds had come he found
miners pack, shreds of clothing,
gnawed bones and other evidence
that the hungry wolves had made a
meal of miner.
There was nothing in the pack to
tell the mans identity. Wolves have
been very numerous and bold in the
Upper Susitna country lately.

New Bedford's Growth.

New Bedford. a cotton manufacturing
city. shows a decennial population gain
of 54S per cent. while Fall River, also
a cotton manufacturing city, also with
tideWater location, shows a gain OF
only 1871 per cent. What is the reason
for this great difference in favor of
New Bedford? 1t is obviously con-
nected in some way with the cotton
manufacturing business. but does it Ne
merely in the fact that Fall River
works on the coarsar line of goods
while New Bedford specializes witt
the finer grades? IF this is the cases
why did Messrs. Aldrich and Lodge In
the last tariff revision increase ths
rates only ON the finer goods, which
were evidently less in need of more
protection than the line of product
prevalent at Fail River? The latter
city would seem to have a grievance
against the late tariff revisers from
New England. But cotton mill men
especially those located at New Bed
ford-clain that THAI city has a eli
mate more favorable for the manufac-
ture Of fine cortons than any other

said to approximate in dampness that

TO PROPERLY WASH TROUSERS.

Editor Social Corner: There are so
many ways of doing things that tho
better way is often lost sight of, al
though that is what all are seeking
after. 1t might be a help to young
women to know how to properly wash
trousers. as a professional does it,
for they look more ship shape when
done First shake or bruch out all
dust and lint then wash thoroughly
in warm mot hot) soap suds, rubbing
and squeezing with the hands. Do
not rub soap on any part, except the
worst spots, which should be treated
before the garment goes into the
wash, rinse through two rinse waters,
not wringing, but allowing them to
drip as you squeeze them. After the
last rinsing, turn wrong side out and
hang out of doors in perfectly
shady place. pinnings them to the line
by the wastband, using enough pins
so they may hang naturally without
sagging. Watch closely and as fast
as the water collects in the hens press
it out with Il cloth between both
hands, Before they get quite dry,
carefully press them with hot fiat
iron on the wrong side, afterwards
turning them and creasins down the
front of each leg. If these directions
are followed they will look like new,
With no apparent shrinking. Another
way of drying them, or rather get
ting the water out of them pre-
paratory to drying them, is to begin
at the bottom of one leg, roll it up,
smoothing as you go to avoid
wrinkles, and as the cloth is rolled
tightly and squeezed between the
hands. the water is pressed out When
both legs have been rolled, treat the
body in the same way. then hang out
to get nearly dry and iron with hot
fat iron, pressing heavily. This will
prove to be most satisfactory IL tbs
rules are closely followed.

Cure for Erysipelas, from an old

put them into a pint of cold water;

the water several times each day, the

MEETING CHRISTMAS HALF WAY.

Editor Social Corner: q Christmas
does not come but once a year and to
many people of Limited means that is
often enough. for it is severe tax
unless methodically dealt with. When
a body begins to prepare for Christ
mas in October the work is more
complete. and more easily accomplish
ed. To begin early to plan and to do
makes the task much easier. So many
little things can be gotten together
during the next few months, and hav-
ing them on hand will save many a
weary hour later on when the work
of the season crowds. Many pretty
things can be made at odd times. and
at little expense; and odd things
may be bought very much cheaper in
the stores than when the stock is
fancy and the prices ara. too. One
who has tried this plan where means
were short. declares that it is the ideal
way of accomplishing the work easily.
Those who would tighten up the bur-
dent might give the plan a trial.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS.

Editor Social Corner: 1t gives me
pleasure to mention, the use of one
method in the problem of household
econinics, which has proved of
practical value in the art of house
keeping. I have referred to keeping a
monthly account of all receipts and
expenditures in connection with the
household. A debit and credit item
lied account. to be opened on the first.
balanced and closed on the last day of
the month. Such an account is easy
to keep and any one can try it. At
the end of the month. various amounts
paid on items of the same kind may
be condensed. The items can then be
classified and with the payment for
each one. entered under the headline
of monthly statement. This will give
in a brief form the total expense for
the month. The practical use of the
best value in every thing, art and
trade can supply at the lowest cost,
is very practical household economy.
A monthly statement of current ex-
pense is useful for comparison, and
not detrimental in any way to the
health. prosperity and happiness of the
ever busy housekeeper A. r. w.
