The red bear of Asia lives In lofty
mountain solitudes. rarely coming be-

gres ter part OF the year he is content
with vegetarian diet and leads a
blameless and estlmable life. but in
the spring he becomes mischievous,
and then man who pursues him In
his native haunts must be a mountain
ser as well as a hunter. The follow

AN ANTlQUATEO GUN.
"El Camille" at West Point, a Relic OF
the Mexican War.

"EI camilo," at West Point, a Relic Of
the Mexican War.
Among the old guns from past wars
on Trophy point there Is one that Is
fondly remembered by every graduate
of the West Point Military academy.
II is "El Camilo," literally 1.-The camel"
a relic OF the Mexican war, but dating
far back OF that.
This antiquated piece Of ordnance,
which is three parts silver and painted
a light green, bears its name and the
royal coat of arms OF Spain over an
inscription. relating that 1T was the
property or the regiment OF the Golden
Fleece. commissioned under Ferdinand
and Isabella at the time when Column
bus set out on his famous voyage to
discover a new world. It would be
interesting TO know what the Spanish
grandees would have thought II they
could have foreseen that the very can
non which probably Numbered god
speed TO the explorer would one day be
captured by the unborn nation OF the
undiscovered continent to which Co
lumbus was bound. The ancient gun
was probably carried TO Mexico as
part Of the armament OF n Spanish
ship and many years later was pressed
into service in the Mexican army,
where the "sinews OF war" were al
ways at n premium. 1t was taken
at Monterey by the Americans and
sent to West Point as the most appro-
pirate place for such an interesting
rellc.-New York Press.

Tax on Bachelordom.

During the period under William
III. when bachelordom was taxed
peers had TO pay more dearly than
commoners for the privilege Of single
bliss. The yearly tax levied on bach
elors ranged from f12 lis in the case
Of dukes and archblshops down to ]
shilling in the case Of those scheduled
as "other persons" Furthermore, a
duke was compelled TO pay $50 when
he married, $50 when his eldest son
was born, f25 when every younger son
was born, $50 when his eldest son was
married, ESQ when his wife was buried
and $50 when his eldest son was
buried. And the other members OF the
peerage had TO pay similar taxes grad
uated according TO their rank.-Lon-

Iieve the reservoir in a condition which would allow a restricted use of the elevators and 1t was decided to allow the use Of the elevators provided the owners exercised care and used them prudently. If this is not observed the board will have to again stop their use.
 A gain of five inches was shown at F'airview on Monday, which bring the pond up to within 240 inches of high water mark. The gain will continue for several days yet as the water at Meadow brook stands 20 inches above the 24-inch intake pipe and there will be much water delivered through that pipe for some time. The snow of Monday will also add to the supply as soon as there is a rain
 The board has taken up the matter of using the pumping station at Trad ing Cove brook with view to putting it into use just as soon as they can safely do so. They are Investigating several kinds of filters and also look ing up the cost of clearing the water It is expected that some~proyision will be made for a filter very soon and that being completed the pumping will be started. Some of the board do not favor removing the contamination because of the cost. believing that the filter will take care of this. A mechanical filter is being looked up and there is also a violet ray purify ing apparatus which has been recom- mended to the board.

 It is a positive fact that Pape's Cold Compound, taken every two hours, un- till three consecutive doses are taken, will end the Grippe and break up the most severe cold, either in the head, chest, back stomach or limbs.
 It promptly relieves the most mis- erable neuralgia pains, headache, dull ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever ishness, sneeZing, sore throat, running of the nose, mucous catarrhal dis charges, soreness, stiffness and rheu- matic twinges.
 Tapes Cold Compound is the result of three years research at a cost of more than fifty thousand dollars and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not ef- fective in the treatment of colds or grippe.
 Take this harmless compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, made any where else i'll the world, which will cure your cold or end grippe misery as promptly and without any other as- sistance or bad after effects as 25- cent package of Pape's Cold Com pound, which any druggist in the world can suanlE
