It is related that a grizzly bear that
had one of its fore paws so shot as to
render 1t useless employed the other
to draw its weight Of 1000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitous, a SEEM
ingly impossible feat. A Californian
asserts that while in the mountains he
observed a big grizzly in the act OF
carrying a dead COW home to her cubs.
From his position on the mountain
side the Californian could follow every
movement Of the bear In the sparsely
timbered valley below. he contends
that the big beast carried the COW In
her fore paws for a distance Of three
miles, across jagged rocks several feet
In height, over fallen logs around the
rocky mountain side, where even d
mule could not get foothold, to a
narrow trail up the steep mountain
side. This bear, 1t appears, stopped
not a moment for rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The COW, 1t is reported,
weighed at least 1900 pounds, while
the weight Of the grizzly was about
$50 pounds.-Fur News.

Tenderness Of renors.

No principal singer could sing every
night in n week. Star tenors seldom
sing more than twice in one week. and
at rehearsals they sing for the most
part in a faIsetto. says the Manchester
Guardian.
1t Ia said that the great Tamango
used to take such rare Of his voice
that he Y even spoke during the
day when be was singing at night. He
carried on a conversation by means of
a slate hung around his neck.
Some baritones. on the other hand.
have been h%abitually careless about
their voices. and Rerlioz speaks of a
splendid bass singer who tramped
about the mountains in the snow all
day with his throat exposed and sang
magnlfcently the same night.
