MONG the nunm
berless stran
- gers hanging
around thb
saloons and the "blind tigers" in Ta.
coma, Wash., not long since, were two
men who attracted considerable atten
tion from the habitues of these places,
though apparently inclined to avoid it.
They were two rather handsome but
weather-beaten men who had just re
turned from Alaska, where they had
been employed hy a syndicate of capi
talists on a prospecting tour of some
sort. The larger one, who was consid
erably over six feet. and would weigh
two hundred and fifty pounds. was of
a retiring, almost sullen disposition,
but wild and reckle.s when drinking.
while the smaller one was more in
clined to he coinmmunieative in his cups.
't'hey were both college graduates, ap
parently. but seemed to be "black
sheep."
One night a crowd of young fellows
had been drinking some, an(d the two
men mentioned having been pres
ent were invited ito joir them. The
smaller one, knowtn as Johnny, did.
but the one called Thomson declined
and walked out. In the course of the
evening a good many stories were told,
and when one of the boys wound up on
a small bearstorv it got .lohnny started.
"People as a rule know very little of
the real characteristics of the bear,"
said he. "Some are almost harmless,
while Bome are simply terrible. I have
hunted the brown bear in Europe and
the black bear itt this country, but I
never saw one of either killed in my
life that wasn't a coward."
"The grizzly certainly isn't a cow
ard," remarked one of the boys present.
"No." was the response. "but while
the grizzly is a terrible brute, it will
not hunt up a human being for the
mere pleasure of tighting and killing
him. The most terrible animal of
the tribe and the only one I regard as
the genuine urtus ferox. is the long
necked polar bear of the north. Nearly
all other bears are primarily vegetari
ans, althoiugh omnivorous. They love
vegetables when they can get them.
Blut a polar ),ear loves only meat, and
meat he will have. To see the glutton
ons creatures hunting and eating fish,
fromn the freshest to, the most offensive
and decayed carrion, is enough to give
an idea of what they are.
"(One stinging cold day last winter at
our furthest northern point, we wdre
waiting to be taken btak to a casnp,
sone hundred miles or more south of
us. The Esquimaux we had engaged
had not arrived, so while we were wait
ing for -them with their dogs and
sledges, we were killing time in a little
improvised snow hut. Thomson had been
growing more impatient every minute,
and had been drinking mire brandy
than I thought desirable. iAnd T began
to-fear he-would punish the Esquimaun
and cause some trouble when .they .ar
rived. Presently, just outside of our
hubt, there came an immense white ~ear
nosing around. As long as we chose to
stay in the hut we were perfectly safe,
but Thomson's anger now turned itself
loose upon the bear As often as we
went out there stood the repulsive
creature, and, after each tour of inspec
tion, Thomson would take another
drink and curse the bear. At last he
awo-e he was not going to stand it any
longer, but would go ott there and
wring its neck. With this he grasped
his long-bladed bowie knife and walked
out. I called to him and begged him to
stop, but I might as well have beep
talking to the wind.
"1 hurriedly put on my wraps, and by
the time I got out. he was down close
to the bear. You know what a mag
rifieent specimen of physical manhood
hCe is. Well, you ought to have seen
him then, Every muscle was like a
bar of steel, and stimulated by the
brandy he had been drinking, he was
at the summit of physical manhood.
bseeing me approaching with my riflde
he warned me to keep 'hands off.' as
this w-as to be a duel and no unfair ad
vantage should be taken. I knew him
too well to cross him, and besides I
might hit him if I shot, so I simply
vaitled and ivatchel the duel.
"Thomson tried in every way to get
around behind ih- bear, but tihe bear
wvould turn and fa'ce liim,. no matter
how quktk he was. lie saw this woulcd
ire whim out. so he cbared his plan.

would thunt him, and then, springing

would go on his hind feet again. In a
spirit of .recklessness Thomson stopped.,
this dilatory play by walking righC
into the bear's arms and cutting a ter
rible gash in his abdomen. Such ta
hotvl of rage-I never heard, and, of
course, all the claws on each of the
bear's paws sank into Thomson's back
and tore outward. Ills flesh, at Well'
as his clothing, seemed M' be furtowed

"Dropping the completely severed

froze. In a short time he came odt as
fresh as ever, his clothing all sewed up,
himself washed clean, and not a drop of
blood about him perceptible. It is pos
sible that he was covered with the
bear's blood instead of his own; it is
also possible that hisa clothing was so
thick that the claws didn't go into hiln

he never seemed to show the slightest
injury, and to this (lay I have never

"The Esquimanux came up before I
began cutting the bear up, and, crowd
ing around, examined it very thorough

and when I made them realize that
Thomson had donethe work alone with
simply a knife, and then they saw him
appear in a few minutes apparently n-he was
touched, their amazement knew no

very faithful and obedient Esquimaur

rHE GIRL BACHELOII.
She Is4 Beomini a iteeoglszed Farctr ls
tile World' Work.
Behold the old maid!
Presto, change!
Behold the girl bachelor!
There is a differenee of opinion about
the much-talked-of girl bachelor. iome
say that she is a new species in the so
cial fauna, while others contend that
she is oily a niodified form of the fa
miliar division of the social 'kingdom
known as the old maid. There may or
may not le anty real difference between
the to, blitt theorettaLsu theire is a
great gulf set between them.
* Popular prejudice, weary, perhaps, of
bte patjistadti with which it has
heaped ignominy upon the title of old
maid, has opened an avenite by which
it can perfornm a dignified retreat to the
standard of the girl bachelor.
In response tp a niurmnrof hints that
it now swears allegiance to those to
whom it once gave only pity and endur*
ance, popular prejudice asserts that a
girl bachelor is as different from an old
maid as a yachtsman is from a galley
slave. The one sails the wide seas of
single blessedncs, because she chooses
to do so, the other-according to the
theory of popular prejudice-because,
with a few grudgingly admitted excep
tions, she has been condemned to that
fate.
However this may be, the girl bach
elor is becoming a recognized factor of
modern social life, and her tribe is in
creasing with a rapidity which would
have satisfied awell-wisher of Abou Ben
Adhem.
This perplexing, startling, unman
ageable, wholly delightful young wom
an has developed a shrewdness which
quickly detects the weak points in her
adversary-for the sake of preserving a
metaphor the young man must be
placed .in his ungrateful position-and
with un-American conservatism she de
clines to give up a sure thing for an un
certainty. She enjoys a life full of
freedom and purpose, and she spreads a
contagion of independence through all
the ranks of feminine society.
The jolly little homes, in which the
members of the new dispensation lead
merry Bohemian existence, have very,
little in common with the traditional
old maid's hall. Girl bachielors are as
gregarious as a flock of birds, and they
take to Bohemianism as a duck does to
water.
New York is full of such little colo
nies. Many of them are composed of
art students, others of young women of
musical proclivities, some of teachers.
kindergartners, stenographers and so
on through the wide range of work and
study which the great city affords.
These little households most frequently
number from four to eight individuals,
and they combine their resources and
their industry with the most gratifying
results.
Not one of them would exchange her
place in these housekeeping and home
making groups for the flesh pots of the
finest boarding-house in the city. They
describe their dainty breakfasts, sketch
ing expeditions, reunions at dinner,
evening readings, occasional theater
parties and jolly midnight spreads with
a fiery eloquence which would scorch
any unwary landlady. and their ad
monition to every girl bachelor is aro
emphatic "Go thou and do likewise."

PATHOS OF LAUGHTER.
Ofren the (;ayest Fterlor Cloaks the Rad
dest Heart.
Thre are a few worn-out traditions in
this world of ours which it is saout
time the world discarded. One of them
is that a merry, careless manner can
only belong ton a shallow mind, and a
demure one always covers depth of
thought end feeling.
There never was a greater mistake.
A quiet demeanor may be quiet because
nothing rages underneath to disturb its
smooth serenity. And an unconcerned
hearing is often a cloak to conceal real
passion and earnestness. Sometimes
"out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh"--not.
There are people-perhaps not many,
but there are some-to whom it is actu
ally painful to reveal their inward en
thusiasms. This may be owing to dis
position or to education. perhaps to
both. And to such the assumption of
an indifferecnt or lively manner may
offer the best protection to their real
self. And in their dread at having this
real self discovered they will often turn
the disguise into a caricature, exagger
ating the laughter, and making the
foolish s'peeches more reckless, doing
violence in every way to the emotions
they are striving to cover.
T"fhere are such natures. Sometimes
they go through life without unmask
ing. Sometimes. "shut in." they find
their only growth toward the light
which comes from above Sometimes
they reveal themselves to one or two
souls, and are contenent with that mnuch
of sympathy and appreciation. To the
world they show ever the same smiling
front, and perhaps go down to the
grave disunderstod by their nearest
friends.
And it sometimes comes to men or
.tomiea ivid4ipdess natures lih this
1t such a nature a blessing or a curse?
it sometimes happens that while their
hearts are tornwith anguish and their
souls are passing through fire, that then
their laughter becomes the lightest and
their words the witticest. No one per
ceives the tears under such laughter.
Yet, perhaps, they are contented. And
none can sayV such natures ar- impossi.

several times a week, a quantity of

thoroughly smooth; add a teaspoonful
mixed mustard, made rather thicker
than usually: when quite smooth add
by degrees a half-plt of olive oil, tak
ing care to llend each portion of it with
the egg before adding more; this ought
to be as smooth as honey and thick
enough so that a spoon will stand up in
it: dilute with vinegar until it assumes
the consistency of thick cream: a little
anchovy may be added if desired: lImon
juice may Ihe adde instead of vinegar,
or a few drops may be added with vine
gar. Thi.s is the smoothest and richest
of salad dressing. The oily flavor is en
tirely lost in combination with the raw
egg. This sauce keeps well if bottled
and corked with a glass stopper, and it
may be made at any time in advance, if
only yolks are used.h--Hoston Herald.

hours: then rub them through a coarse
strainer. Pour one-third of a cupful of
boiling water upon the soaked gelatine,
and when it has dissolved mix it with
the fruit. Set the dish in ice-water and
stir until the mixture begins to thicken.
Then add gently two ,quarts of whipped
cream. Have ready a three-quart mold
packed in two quarts of coarse salt and
enough ice to bring the packing up to
the cover of the mold. I'ut the mixture
in the mold, cover with white paper,
put on the lid, and if not perfectly tight
coat the edge with melted suet, to keep
nut the salt. Pack it over the top with
ice and salt, and let it stand for four
hours. It will then be ready to turn
out on a flat dish and serve in smooth
slices.-DIcmorest's.
FALSE ECONOMY.
uaying Worthless Goouls neerase They
Are Cheap.
One of the most painful and at the
same time absurd exhibitions of false
economy may be seen in the crowds at
the bargain counters at the ordinary
shops. There seems to be an ineradie
nble idea in the minds of some women.
that at certain times and seasons of the
year merchants are willing to gi ve away
their goodwls with practically no profit.
It is a common trick in the inferior
shops to smoke up and soil a few goods.
advertise a "burnt goods sale," mark
these goodxs at the regular price, and
thus they often attract a large crowd
of buyers, who remain perfectly obliv
iouns to the fact that the. gowls are be
ing sold to them at the regular market
price without the slightest reduction
because it is a burnt goods sale. .Al
most every shop nowadays cuts off
goods as remnants and matrks them at
the regular price in order to attract the
inevitable remnant hunter. The sui
cess of the various ninet-nine-eent
stores is but another illustration of the
frailty of woman nature in this matter.
It is no exaggeration to say that many
a good woman has spent five cents in
car fare in order to save this one cent
on the dollar. Forty-nine cents seems
so muihl less than fifty. ninety-nine
cents infinitely less than a dollar, and
small merchants have readily taklen ad
rantage of this curious weaknes.. The
gift-packares which come with tea and
coffee are another ilhustration of this
universral desire of the shopper to get
something for nothine. No sensi),le

amount of money made by snuh inn

-The late Gov. Hsrtranft, of YPen's

-A farmer in Manchester, Me., is re

that "Honesty is the best policy." Sev

died recently, and, according to law,
the property goes to her three children,

The children refuse to reconvey the

-There were over $2,000.000 be

money to enable the city to build and
keep up a suitable building to contain
it. About 81,000,000 was given her
relatives, and so many separate be
quests were made that the will proved
to be the longest on record.
--l'laying jokes on newly-married
couples is a favorite pastime with bu

trunk, an old shoe on each handle, and
across one end a placard on which was
painted two hearts transfixed with a
skewer, and the legend: "We are one."
The bride cried and the groom swore.
-The German emperor's imperial
train, which has at last been finished,
cost altogether 7530,000. Its construe
tion occupied three years, and it is a
very elaborate example of railroad lux

connected by "corridors." which pre
sumably are vestibules. and they are all
magnificently upholstered. The library
car. for instance, is hung with Grobelin
tapestry, and the drawing room is fur
nished entirely in white satin. Two of
the carriages are for the sole use of the
emperor's children and their nurses.
