SEPTEMBER 9, 1897. STAGHOUND AND BEAR.

Zhe Dog Wins the Battle Alone After Sev eral Others Had Been Vanquished.

George W. McCredy, a prominent sheep- man of Klickitat county, anda party of sheepmen consisting of Will Coleman, Milt Moorehead, George Van Ostran, the elder Coleman and a herder, while in the vicin- ity of the ‘‘swamp corrals,’’ on the Upper Klickitat river, came across a yearling brown bear, which was quickly treed by the pack of coyote hounds, three in num- ber, belonging to Will Coleman.

‘The bear being only a yearling and be- ing treed so easily, Van Ostran offered to elimb the tree and shake him out, evident- ly thinking him on a par with a coon, but the bear held on to the limb and refused to be given the shake. Then a rope was passed to Van Ostran, who threw a noose ever the bear’s head, and, giving the rope to one of the boys who was on horseback, the latter,took-a turn around the horn of the saddle, and as he was riding a pretty good cow horsa, he succeeded in pulling the bear down, and right here the fun commenced, for the bear, as the bear rushed at the horse and struck hima powerful blow with his right, cutting a deep gash in the horse’s shoulder and side and freeing himself from the lariat.

The sheepmen were all up bull pines by this time and had a fine view of the battle, the hounds being assisted by a shepherd dog. The shepherd getting too near, the bear made a swipe at him, getting his claws under the dog’s collar, and, off at arm’s length, made him -dancea jig for some minutes, the hounds then closing in to help the shepherd dog out. They were put out of the game in one two three order, with the exception of A. Smythe’s stag- hound Rattler, who seized the bear by the throat and was immediately locked in an embrace such as only a bear can give, the two rolling over and over on the ground, the dog never breaking his hold and lying so cloge te the bear’s breast that he was — apparently to squeeze him very

Thus they fought for over 20 minutes, until at last the bear succumbed, with his windpipe cut in two. Old man Coleman said he had killed a good many bears in hig time, but he never saw such a game fight as Rattler made on that occasion.— Portland Oregonian,

HUNTING THE OSTRICH.

2 2 ee 7 The Bushman’s Wonderful Patience and His Two Poisoned Arrows.

The bushman divests himself of all his incumbrances— water vessels, food, cloak, assagai and sandals are all left behind. Stark naked, except for the hide patch about his middle, and, armed only with his bow, arrows and knife, he sets forth. The nearest ostrich is feeding more than a mile away, and there is no covert but the long, sun dried, yellow grass, but that is enough for the bushman. Worming him- self over the ground with the greatest cau- tion, he crawls flat on his belly toward the bird. No serpent could traverse the grass with less disturbance. In the space of an hour and a half he has approached within a hundred yards of the tal) bird. Nearer he dare not creep on this bare plain, and at more than 25 paces he cannot trust his light reed arrows. He lies patiently hid- den in the grass, his bow and arrows ready in front of him, trusting that the ostrich may draw nearer.

It is a long wait under the blazing sun, close on two hours, but his instinct serves him, and at last, as the sun shifts a little, the great ostrich feeds that way. It isa magnificent male bird, jet black as to its body plumage, and adorned with magnifi- cent white feathers upon the wings and tail. Kwaneet’s eyes glisten, but he moves not a muscle. Closer and closer the os- trich approaches, 30 paces, 25, 20. There is a light musical twang upon the hot air, and a tiny yellowish arrow sticks well into the breast of the gigantic bird. The ostrich feels a sharp pang and turns at once. In that same instant a second arrow is lodged in its side just under the wing feathers, Now the stricken bird raises its wings from its body and speeds forth into the plain, but Kwaneet is quite content. The poison of those two arrows will do his work effec- tually. He gets up, follows the ostrich, tracking it after it has disappeared from sight by its spoor, and in two hours the game lies there before him amid the grass, dead as a stone.—Longman’s Magazine.

A MARKET DAY.

"Twas a market day in Dublin town,

And the boys and girls were going down With their wares to svll—fine ducks and geess, Lambs and mutton without their fleece, Onic cabbages, beets, what not,

Culled from many a garden spot,

And there, on top ef her market cart,

Sat Maggie Moran, the pride of my heart.

Says I to her, “It is time, I guess, That you were buying your wedding dress,

For my heart you are using rather rough

enough.’’

She laughed, and, shaking her frowsy head, “T’'m not quite read: marry,’’ she said ‘And if you're in haste the’ setter plan Is to turn your back on Maggie Moran.” ‘(Maggie Moran is tw girl I’ wed, And nobody else in this world,’’ I said. And I jumped in her cart as sie turned about And held her fast sc she wouldn't fall out, For she drove us he sata rattling pace, With a roguish smile on her blushing face, And the nimble pony soon set us down

Far and away from Dublin town.

Said Maggie's mother, ‘‘My girl, what luck Did you have in selling your garden truck?”’ And Maggie said, w:th a hearty laugh,

“T sold my geese and brought home a calf!" Oh, the very next morn we both went down To the parish priest in Dublin town,

And he made us one with little deley,

And it’s out of the murket we are today! -—Josephine Pollard. in New York Ledger.

may be very sure “. his blood is pure. A The man who suffers from im- pure blood isn’t likely to achieve eminence in any walk of life. You cannot pump im- pure blood into the brain, and ex- pect the brain to be active and keen. If you feed the brain cells on impure blocd, you are sure to have weak, sluggish brain cells. If you pump bad blood into the lungs, you will have weak lungs. Pump bad blood into the liver, and the result is torpidity of the liver. Feed the heart on impure blood, and the consequence is a weak heart. Nourish the skin with impure blood, and the result is all manner of unsightly skin diseases. .

The best of all known blood purifiers is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active and fills the arteries with the rich, red bloed of health. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures all forms of eruptive skin diseases. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of con- sumption. It cures bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood, obstinate coughs and kindred ailments. It gives vigor and health to the museles and activity to the brain. Thousands have testified to the benefits derived from the use of this wonderful medicine. All medicine stores sell it.

Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co., Ind.. writes: “In the year of 1894, I was taken with stomach trouble—nervous dyspepsia. . There was a coldness in my 9 and a weight which seemed like a rock. verything that I ate gave me great pain; I had a ring down sensation; was swelled across my stomach; hada ridge around my right side, and in a short time I was bloated. I was treated by three of our best physicians but got no relief. I was so weak I cq@pld not walk across the room without assis- tance. I took Dr. Pierce's Go'den Medical Dis- covery and one bottle of the ‘ Pleasant Pellets.’ I began to improve very fast after the use of a few bottles.

Origin of xndie Utensils.

A writer attempts to trace table uten- sils—most of them of recent introduction —to their origin. Ihe Romans, he de- clares, took their meals lying upon very low couches, and is was not until about the time of Charlemagne that a stand was used around which guests were seated on cushions, while the table made its appear- ance in the middle ages, and with it came benches with backs. The Greeks and Ro- mansate from a kind of porringer, yet dur- ing a portion of the middle ages slices of bread cut round tock the place of plates. The spoon is Yery ancient, and many fine specimens are in existence that were used by the Egyptians in the seventeenth cen- tury B.C. The knife, though very old, had not come into common use as a table utensil in the tenth century. The fork was absolutely unknown +o the Greeks and Romans, appeared only a curiosity im the middle ages and was first used upon the table by Henry III. Drinking cups— in the middle ages made from metal more or less precious—naturally dated from the remotest antiquity. The use of glasses from Venice begar to be general in the fif- teenth century. ‘Lhe saltcellar appeared at a very early datz and occupied the place of honor at the banquets of the Greeks and Romans, many of them being made of gold and silver and richly chased. —Jewel- ers’ Circular.

The Old Man.

There isa member of the club who is young in years, but is already the active managing head of a large retail and whole- sale hardware establishment. He was re- lating an experience the other day: ‘‘I was standing near two clerks, who did not see me. The younger asked the other—whe. was ten years older than myself—in regard to a special discount. Said he in answer: ‘I don’t know. Ask the old man.’

‘*T wondered who he could mean. The clerk seemed to know, for he put straighs to the office and asked for me.

‘‘Was I offended? Not much. It vas the proudest moment of my life. No man is ever ‘the old man’ about.a stere unless he is respected and liked. It means power, appreciation, respect. When a man of my

A Bloodless Battle.

In 1518 a battle was fought near Milan, in Italy, and so perfect was the armor of both arm‘es that, although the conflict raged from 9a.1o. to 4 p. m., no one on either side was either killed or wounded, though one man broke his collar bone by falling off his horse.

CUALING A BIG SHIP. Crude Methods Employed Which Make It a Slow and Expeasive Job,

All the shipg of the transatlantic lines are coaled by practically the same crude method. Barges of about 850 tons ca- pacity are brought alongside of the ship, booms are rigged, and, by tackle centrol- led by adonkey engine, steel buckets are lowered to the berge, filled by four men with shovels and hoisted to a projecting

platform, where two men dump the bucket and shovel the coal into the porthole. It is then taken by other men and stowed away in the ship’s bunkers. Five and a half of these bucket loads equal a ton, and tally by count of the buckets is the only record to show how much coal the steamer

has taken aboard.

In coaling the steamship St. Paul of the Anierican line 48 men are employed inside the The average ainount of coal bunkered is 3,000 tons. The time required to unk about 40 hours, and

ship.

mad and stow is

the total average cost of the work is $1,600. These figures, varying only with the coal consumption of the ship, will apply to the | yessels of other transatlantic lines. | Effort to reduce this expense has been | productive of many ingenious mechanical

| devices, and the inquiry is often raised | why none of these is in general use. ‘The answer is given in the statement by a rep- resentative of one of the transatlantic lines, ‘‘We have had many offers to deliver coal to Gur steamers at the rate of any- where from 50 to 500 tons per hour, but what is the use when we cannot take care of it inside any faster than we do now?’’ In a medern ship fuel must be stored wherever room can be found that is not required or available for other purposes. Coal cannot be received @n board faster than it can be stored away in tho bunkers, which, in the case of a modern liner, is at the rate of about 1'2 toms per man per hour.

More primitive methods prevail in ports of less importance than those at either end of the Atlantic lines. In the West Indies coaling is almost exclusively done by negro women, who pour in a ceaseless strean: over the gangplanks, each carrying about 100 pounds of coalin a basket poised on her head. i

In Mediterranean ports the work is done by men instead of women, but for the most part with the same primitive imple- ments, shovel and basket.—S. Howard Smith in Cassier’s Magazine,

The Antiquity of the Thimble.

Somebody wrote: ‘‘To the Dutch the ladies of all nations are indebted for the in- vention of the thimble. The Dutch achieved this great invention about the year 1690.”’

How can this stupid error have arisen? The thimble is probably prehistoric. Thim- bles in some form or other must have been used by the women who executed the rich embroideries of the medieval time. The late Professor J. E. Thorold Rogers, in his ‘‘History of Agriculture and Prices In Eng- land,’’ mentions, under the year 1494, one dozen thimbles which cost 4 shillings. What is, however, more to the purpose, they are frequently alluded to by our old dramatists. Here are two examples from the greatest of them.

Ja ‘‘The Taming of the Shrew’’ Grumio says:

“I commanded the sleeves should be cut out and sewed up again, and that I'll prove upon thee, though thy little finger be armed in a thimble.’’—IV, 8, 149.

In the early days of the civil war between Charles I and the parliament, when the citizens of London were called on to send in their plate to be coined into money, the royalist jesters made fun of the puritan dames who were said to have given even - their silyer thimbles to the cause.—Notes and Queries.

Plant Culture by Amateurs.

‘“‘Amateur florists should study the habits of the plants in their collections in order to give the special care needed by each variety,’’ writes Kben B. Rexford in ‘*he Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘‘Not only does this advice apply pertinently to wa- tering, but to the position in the window. Your plant window may bea southern one which will admit a great deal of sunshine. This will exactly suit geraniums, helio- tropes, roses and plants of that class, but begonias, primroses and many other plants adapted to house culture are not particu- larly fond of strong sunshine—in fact, are often injured by full exposure to it. Is is possible to find out exactly what course to pursue and to effecta compromise between these two classes of plants without a change of windows. Find out what plants like partial shade and give them positions in the rear of the sun loving plants. In this way the plants which require sunshine will not be robbed of it, and those which do not require sunshine will not be harmed by having an excess of it.’’

Sarcastic.

‘*Mercy!’’ cried Mr. Barker at the res- taurant. ‘‘Waiter, is this Neufchatel cheese?’’

‘Yes, sir,’’ said the waiter.

‘‘Well, I must say it tastes like very old chatel cheese. Bring me some cottage cheese instead and be sure it is made of some cottage since the original Queen Anne period.’’—Harper's Bazar.

BUT Joseph

Ladue KNOWS whereof be writes. He was the first man on

the spot when the first gold was discovere } last August, 1896, — He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve

others at a low price before their value was known. He has

refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they are

rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice,

Joseph Ladue then

Established Dawson City,

the first house ia the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 «acres from the governinent on the city site where his town lots, 150x50, me now selling for $5,000 each.

Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his _ trading post investments to have on hand ample capital tocarry out his plans, and there is no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. © Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoiure—a man of iron as one must needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscles to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley — which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.

When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (for modern journalism does this, annihilating time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the real facts were disclesed, and now people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukon Valley.

As we have already said, there is no man alive today who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. What makes his talk of it specially interesting and reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the year, but from steady living there through the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke and its tributavies.

In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes. His first work entitled

“KLONDYKE NUGGETS ”
