GOLDENDALE 17595 is a bay stallion with black points, foaled in 1891, and in point of individuality is an animal qualified to stand the high est test, having the size, finish and conformation most sought for in horses of his class. His breeding is exceptionally high. Altamont. his sire, is not only the most prepotent stallion that ever stood in tne North Pacific country, but he is one of the best sons of Almont, having 26 per formers to his credit, and all race horses of the best type. Almont 33 is by long odds the best grandson of Hambletonian 10, and no sire that ever lived is breeding no more unifor mly through his progeny than he. On the maternal side Goldendale gets the strong Knox and Morgan blood that figures prominently in some of the msst sensational horses of the present time. Goldendale's maternal grandsire was Gen. Knox 140, who not only sired a large family of per formers, but who got among others tha fast mare Lady Maud, 2:18J, that S[onbars roduced the world beating colt 2:16£, as a two-year old, and 2:11| as a three-year old.

TOUGH CUSTOKKB. Tha Brown Bear of Alaaka Za Courageous Fighter. An Inataoce off the Fwriiinm of tte Animal—A Few Words of AMn from a Banter Who la Vuall lu with Its Hftblts. v' A sportsman writing to the San Francisco Chronicle advises others who may complain that the California griz xly is growing scarce and losing his nerve that there is a foeman worthy his lead in the brown bear of Alaska. He thus describes the brute and his habitat: The northern side of the Eenai peninsula, bordering the shores of Cook's inlet, Kodiak island and the Alaskan peninsula as far west as Uni mak island, are the habitat of the Alas kan brown hear (ursus Richardsonii), a huge, shaggy animal, varying1 in length from sis to twelve feet, and weighing from eight hundred to fif teen hundred pounds. This animal possesses all the courage and fierce ness of his southern cousin, the grizzly, has been hunted so little as yet that he is absolutely fearless of man and is an exceedingly dangerous ad versary. The island of Kodiak, being more settled than the other localities mentioned, is less favorable as a hunt ing ground for the sportsman than the wilder regions adjacent. This is espe cially true of the eastern and wooded end of the island. On the west the country is more open, and on that ac count seems to be preferred by the bear. There is still good sport to be had in certain localities hereabout, and native guides can always be ob tained at the villages situated on the shores of the bays or on the banks of the salmon streams in this vicinity. Being an expert fisher the bear fre quents during the salmon season all the rivers emptying into the Bebring1 sea and the North Pacifio and their tributaries as far as the fish go. After the salmon run is over the animal re treats into the recesses of the hills where berries and small game are plentiful. The brown bear is the great road maker of this part of Alaska. Not only are the banks of the streams trodden into good trails by the huge lumbering brutes, but the swampy plains are crossed in every direction by paths leading to the hills. The traveler will do well to follow them in his Journeying across the country, as they invariably lead to the best, ford ing places of streams and form the easiest routes to the hills. The northern limit of the brown bear's habitat is, as yet, undetermined, but I have seen them in the interior as far as latitude 07 degrees, and they probably range still further. The mainland of Alaska adjaoent to the island of Unga is full of txrown bears, and, although somewhat small er than those found on the west side of Cook's inlet, they are sufficiently fleroe and aggressive. Some officers from one of the vessels of the Behr ing sea fleet went ashore at Herendeen bay during the summer of 1801 on a deer hunt, and one of the party saw a bear about one hundred yards dis tant eating berries. Without a thought of the consequences he raised his gun and fired at the animal. The .shot went wide of the mark, but at the re port of the gun the bear started for the hunter on the dead run. His charge was met by a shower of bullets from the officer's repeater, but, al though badly wounded, the infuriated brute did not hesitate an instant, but rushed straight at his enemy. When within about ten feet of the hunter the bear rose on his haunches and' pre pared to close. Blood was pouring in streams down his body. One bullet had shattered his upper jaw, but he was still so full of fight that the out come of the struggle would have been extremely doubtful had not another of the party arrived and ended the fight by shooting the brute through the brain. An examination of the bear's body showed that it had been struck six times. Three of the shots were in parts of the body ordinarily consid ered vital, and would doubtless have ultimately caused death but the vi tality of these animals is almost in credible, instances having been cited of their running over a hundred yards after being shot through the heart. One of the best places in Alaska to find the brown bear is in the vicinity of Portage bay, ten or twelve miles across Unga strait from Sand point. At the latter place a hotel has recent ly been erected where visiting sports men can be assured of comfortable quarters. The ptarmigan shooting is excellent on these islands, and deer is plentiful, if that kind of sport is more desirable. The bear hunter, however, will not have any cause for oomplaint on account of scarcity of his particular variety of game. Last summer, while I was at Sand point, two hunters came in after an absence of little over a month in the vicinity of Portage bay and reported having lrWftfl 'thirty-three bears. On one day alone they killed seven. In order to show that they were not spinning hun ters' yarns they had brought the skins with them and sold them at the trading post at Sand point. In dealing with the bear a hunter should nev ergo alone. A companion is almost as' essential as a gun. Kaally Pleased. In the recent efforts of a charitable woman to carry consolation and com-' •fort in the houses of the distressed In iNew York, a crooked old woman was found who resisted all importunities that she had anything for which to be thankful. One mercy and another were suggested to her as reasons why jshe should at least express herself as. 3aving something for which to be grateful. All these she promptly de* 'dined. Finally, as the visitor was to give up the search, the old gjaboutand ——»n said: "Yes, there is wan thing I forgot. I've got wan thing for t0| lankfuL I've got two tools in toe they bites omDosite." ZUNI INDIAN DANCES. la Olag aad DeaWe-HhoO* Darkles in Hoi to Ba Compered to Them. "The Zunl Indians are the original wing and buok dancers," said Mr. George Sherman, a Denver man, to the Fort Worth Gazette. "I've seen the genuine plantation negroes in Louis iana and Mississippi, and the minstrel article, but they are simply not in it with the Zunis. "I went out to Tuscon, A. T., several years ago, one spring, and we visited a pueblo near where there are many Zuni Indians. "A fellow with us asked if we had ever seen 'em dance. We aaid we hadnt, and he said we'd missed a treat, for they took the cake for fancy foot movements. "He spoke to the old alcalde of the settlement, and he called two men. They were fine-looking men, not very tall, but sinewy, supple and well "Without any preliminaries, they set to, and of all the high jumping, side leaping, heel-and-toe work, sliding, shuffling I ever saw, that dancing was the best. They were light on their feet, graceful and quick as lightning In all their movements. They whirled away from each other with a pretty heel-tap movement, spun around at the same time, touching the tips of their toes, turned a back somersault and came down like feathers, keeping in perfect time. The only accompani ment they had was a rude sort of a tom-tom and the whistling of a boy. They danced for three-quarters of an hour and weren't broken down. "This was on the bare ground, mind you. Then a fine looking boy brought a stone, not more than afoot square, threw it on the ground, hopped on it, and gave the finest dog daaoe and double-shuffle I ever saw. He had on oheap, worn shoes, with the heels nearly worn off, but he didnt mind that. He spun around on his toes, on his heels, danced with one foot held in his hand, jumped up and clapped his heels together twice and whirled about on the toe of one foot. Then he beat a sort of tattoo with the heel of one foot, and made some fancy movements with the other. He gave a few ring movements that caught the crowd. "After he got through with a num ber of difficult fancy movements he jumped down as fresh as a daisy. There were other dancers, and for eo eentric movements, fancy steps and pretty figures I've never seen the like. I understood that Primrose, the min strel, saw these people dance once and got stuck on 'em and tried to get 'em with his show. They would make a great hit." 8NAKES AND SNAKE STORIES. India Has 1118 .Known Varieties of Bap* tllee Bat Only S3 Are Poisonous. Surgeon General Sir William Moore lately read a very interesting paper be fore the members of the Balloon so ciety, on snakes, says the Westminster Budget. Sir William approached the consid eration of the subject from a popular rather than a scientific point of view,, mentioning as his reason' for doing so that the names of snakes were so diffi cult of pronunciation and more diffi leult of remembrance. Sir William's paper was based upon his experience in India. He declared that more nos trums had been proposed as a certain cure for snakebite than for almost anything else. As there were in In dia some two hundred and eighteen known varieties of snakes only thirty three of which were poisonous, it often followed that persons were bitten by non-poisonous snakes, and, after being treated by some nostrum, of course recovered hence the alleged success of those nostrums. Even poisonous snakes did not always strike with the poison fang. The teeth in all snakes were crooked and hollow, and capable of being erected or depressed at pleas ure. The fang of the common viper was a curious contrivance. It was a per forated tooth loose at the root. In its quiet state the fang lay flat upon the jaw, and was furnished with a muscle, which a jerk suddenly erected. The dosing of the jaw pressed the tooth upon the poison bag, and the fluid was sent with considerable force through the hollow of the tooth. It was astonishing to know that the poison might be swallowed without fatal re sults, but the gallant officer did not go so far as to recommend the experi ment. It had been said that in 1778 a snake charmer exhibited snakes at Bartholomew fair which danced on ropes, but the lecturer was decidedly skeptical on the point. Describing how best to avoid snakes, Sir William said a line of carbolic acid powder would keep a snake out of a room, but before adopting this expedient it was equally essential that they should make sure that there was not a snake In the room already, for then it would not go over the carbolic line, .even to get out. He mentioned as the best treatment for the snake bite .the early application of a ligature above the bite as being the most important prelimi nary step. Travel on the Red Sea. In the waters of the Bed sea the ces sation of the engines on a steamer for an hour means extreme physical suffering for passengers, for a day it would involve absolute torture. The wind which prevails every day is a hot, asphyxiating blast, and its continuous directions are from north and south toward the center. As a result, every passing vessel is subjected to two days of almost intolerable heat, followed by' two days of comparative comfort. Shell Monads of Delaware. Interesting relics of dead and gone Indian tribes are the great mounds of oyster shells formed along the seashore in southern Delaware.
