THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR,
How Puss Frightened Eruin Up a ‘Tree and Kept Him There.
Chris Burns, the veteran first serreant of Troop D, had a kitten which, during the summer camping of the troop at the Lower Geyser basin, made her home within the sergeant’s tent. Here, curled
up cn a pair of army blankets, she de- |
fied the world in general and dogs in

particular. When the latter approached, |
she would elevate every bristle on her brave little back, her eyes would glow like live coals, and her tail would swell up threateningly. If dogs too near, she would hiss and exhibit the usual signs of hostility until the in-
approached |
trucers had vanished from her neigh- |
borhood.
One day, when the camp was bathed in sunshine and every soldier in camp felt lazy, an inquisitive black bear came down the mountain side and, whether because he was in search of adventure or because attracted by a savory smell from the cook's fire, began to walk about amoag the white tents of the cav- alry command.
Suddenly the kitten caught sight of him. but this particuiar ‘‘dog’’ was the lar- gest and the hairiest dog she had ever seen. But she di: not hesitate. It was enough for her tiiat an enemy had in- vaded her special domain. Hissing forth
with rage, she darted forth at the bear. The onslaught was sudden, and one glance was enough for bruin. Witha snort of fear, bruin made for the nearest tree, a short distance away, and did not pause until he was safely perched among the upper branches. Meanwhile the kit'en stalked proudly about on the ground beneath, keeping close guard over her huge captive, her back still curved into a bow and her hair still bristling with righteous indignation, while her tail would now and then give

- a significant little wave, asif to say, ‘‘That’s the way I settle impertinent bears.’’
The soldiers, who meanwhile had poured forth from their tents, could scarcely believe their eyes; but there was the bear in the tree and the kitten below, and there were those who had seen the affair from beginning to end.
And perhaps the strangest part of it all was that the bear would not stir from his safe position in the branches until the kitten had been persuaded to leave her huge enemy a clear means of retreat. Then he slid shamefacedly down from bis perch and ambled hastily off toward the mouutain.—Lieutenant Charles D. Rhodes, U. 8S. A., in St. Nicbolas.
NAMES OF PEARLS.
a About Five Thousand Small Ones Can Be =] Bought For Nise Dollars. : Pearls are namcd according to their ce size. The very large are called paragon ‘ pearls; when the size of = cherry, cher- 4 ry pearls; medium are called piece if pearls; smallest, dust pearls. The oval oa and leng are termed pear pearls, while badly formed specimens are known as baruques. The value of pearls varies, of course, with the quality and general colors, but the piece, seed and dust pearls always have a market price. a The cherry and paragon are sold on aos an entirely different basis. If many fine 3 ones are on the market ata time, they may be had at reasonable rates. Some years they bring almost any price. The last two yeurs especially, the deal- ers say, there has been a gicat ecarcity of fine pearls, although there is no fall ing off in the supply cf the rmall stuff. When a pearl exceecs one carat in weight, it is sold separately. Under that weight they are sold in parcels and Leccme less valuable as they beccme stualler. The smallest dust pearls ‘col- lected average about 5,000 to the troy ounce und are rated at about 89 per ounce. If, cn the contrary, cne paragon weighing un ounce (or 150 carats) was en sale, it would brnng any amctnt trom $30,000 to $200,000, acecrding te quality. —Fhiladelphia ‘Times.
