"It's easy enough, to kill bears when you know how," said Miss Phoebe Patterson, of Mendocino county, as the leaned up against the lintel of the log cabin among the giant redwoods. "I've killed ll, and one of them was a grizzly. With that gun ? Yes. It's a pretty good rifle, but you have to raise it a little high in taking sight, and the stock is a little loose. I'm going to send itoverto the gunsmith's before long." Miss Patterson looked the woods woman she is. She had on a little slouch hat, a hunting jacket, and a short skirt. She was just the kind of woman that some Britons on arriving in California expect to meet at every turn. But there is only one Phoebe Patterson, and she has no equal as a bear huntress in the whole west. She looked rather small for her age, 19, but she declared that she was still growir.g. "Would you like to see my pets?" she asked, and of course her caller said he would be delighted. He had heard some low growling and high snarling from behind the house. Now it was divined that .these came from "the pets." "Mother don't like to have me keep them," she went on, "but they're really no harm in the world." She opened a little* corral gate and walked in to where three small bears were trudging up and down at the end of short chains with that ceaseless mo tion which a bear takes up when in captivity. The animals glanced at her as she entered and ceased their growls They looked expectantly. "Oh, you've had your breakfast," said she, as if talking to so many chil dren. "You can't have any more un til noon. Here, Romeo." The largest of the three sat up on his hind legs and looked at her with a bearish grin on his face as she smoothed his rough fur and patted his head. "Don't be afraid of them. ^ They'll not bother you if you don't touch them." She leaned her head over the black brute and let him kiss her pret ty dark face. Her eyes danced ro guishly as she watched the antics of the other two, who shrugged their shoulders and looked very cross. "They are jealous," said she. Then she bestowed her favors evenly and all were happy, the happiest being the one who had the most immediate cause, the larger one, to whom she re turned with pretty caresses. "I feel as if I ought to be good to them all because I was mean enough to kill their mother. Not that I would have shot her had I known she had children to look out for. Oh, no; 1 am not so cruel as that. But how could ]. tell? And she made at me so furiously, too! You see. I was up the creek last spring. I had been out with the rifle for three hours and hadn't seen a thing to shoot at, when I ran almost into the clutches of the biggest black bear I ever saw. . Most bears, except grizzlies, will tum and run when they see you coming, es pecially if you have a gun. They seem to know what a gun is every time, and they actually seem to know the difference between a shotgun and a rifle. Anyway, they'll get out quick er if ytm are carrying a Winchester. "But this she-bear made right for me. I had come upon the beast so suddenly that I didn't think about shooting right on the spur of the mo ment, but was more for running. I jumped behind a small redwood just in time to save myself a stroke from her paw and my skirt caught on a dead branch, one of those short, sharp branches that are always catching a person' s skirts. This held me tight for an awful second, and I actually felt that big bear's breath upon my face, Ugh! I was scared. But it wouldn't do to get excited. I made a quick jump and tore a hole in the skirt, which set me free; but the bear had one paw on my shoulder and I just thought I should never see the old log house again. But the bear did not mind the tree, and so banged into it so hard that it loosened her hold upon me and I sprang out behind another tree and raising my rifle pull ed the trigger. I couldn't have miss ed that bear had I wanted to. She was right up against the muzzle. She fell without even a kick. Then I heard some low noises from behind a hollow log, and there were these three little rascals sunning themselves and playing about as if nothing had hap pened. Of course I couldn't really have helped myself about the killing of their mother, but I felt so sorry for the dear little baby bears that I brought them home by tying a long piece of leather around their necks and sort of snaking them along. That's the skin of their mother up there by the win dow of the house. Somehow I didn't want to sell it. I shall make a big rug to put down in front of the fire place. "About the other bears I killed? Oh, there isn't any story about them to speak of; that is, except the griz zly. All the other bears just happen ed to come ray way while I was out shooting, and they just didn't go any further, that's all. As I said, most of them took to their heels as soon as I came along, but I im pretty good at long-range shooting, and dropped them. I bagged three in one day. That was a great day's sport, wasn't lit? I don't believe there's a man in this canon that has ever done any better. But bears are getting scarce up this way. The city hunters are learning how to kill them at last. They used to get one of our men to go out and kill their bears for them, but they know how themselves now, some of them. There are three hunt ers that come up here from San Fran cisco every season, and they kill four or or five bears apiece. They don't do anything with them, except to cut off a few steaks, and I don't think it's right. They ought to bring in thc hides, but I guess they're too lazy to skin them. Can I skin a bear? I should say so; and I don't make a long job of it, either. Not that I like work. I think it a man's work, but on occasion I peel off a hide. It only takes about half an hour, but the first time you try it takes you all day. You learn by watching some experienced person go at it. My father used to be quick enough, but he's laid up with rheumatism now andean hardly hold a knife in his hands. "The grizzly? Oh, I killed him down at Snow Creek, near where it joins Skunk Creek. He didn't come at me until I had put one ball in him. and then he fairly tore up the ground with his rake and came like a deer through the brush, crashing every thing before him. There was some thing the matter ' .h my rifle. I'd got a cartridge shell caught in it and couldn't work the magazine. But I didn't ruo, only just stood there fidgeting and fussing with that rifle. I guess I threw out a dozen good car tridges, and it was just a wonder I had any cartridges left in the gun when the grizzly got up to inc. I was so excited that I snapped the trigger twice before I got the gun closed, but the shell that had lodger! was out and the gun should have worked well enough. It was a sort of repetition of the big blaok bear shot, for I laid him low without taking sight or hardly glancing at my gun. I was all eyes for the big chargin grizzly, and it was lucky he didn't get me. When I told pa that I had killed a grizzly, he didn't believe me; but I showed him where he lay. Then he wanted me to quit hunting. It was too dangerous, he said. But, you see, somebody's got to keep 'em in neat, and as long as there's deer and bears and small game hereabouts I guess I can do it. The Stone in thc Road. A long time ago there lived a king who took great delight in teaching his people good habits. "Bad luck comes only to the lazy and the careless," said he; "but to the busy workers God gives the good things of this life." Ooe night he put a large stone in the middle of the road near his palace, and then watched to see what the peo ple who passed that way would do. Early in the morning a sturdy old farmer, named Peter, came along with his heavy ox-cart loaded with corn. "Oh ! these lazy people," he cried, driving his oxen to one side of the road. "Here is this big stone right in the middle of the road, and nobody will take the trouble to move it." And he went on his way, scolding about the laziness of other people, but never thinking of touching the stone himself. Then came a young soldier, singing a merry song as he walked along. A gay feather was stuck in his bat and a big sword hung at his side ; and he was fond of telling great stories of what he had done in the war. He held his head so high that he did not see the stone, but stumbled over it and fell flat into the dust. This put an end to his merry song ; and. as he rose to his feet, he began to storm at the country people. "Silly drones !" he said, "to have no more sense than to leave a stone like that in the middle of the road 1" Then he passed on ; but he did not sing any more. An hour later there came down the road six merchants with their goods on pack horses, going to the fair that was to be held near the village. When they reached thc stone the road was so narrow that they could hardly drive their horses between it and the wall. "Did anyone ever see the like?" they said. "There is that big stone in the road, and not a man in all the country but that is too lazy to move it!" And so the stone lay there for three weeks ; it was in everybody's way, and yet everybody left it for somebody else to move. Then the king sent word to all his people to meet together on a certain day near his palace, as he had some thing to tell them. The day came and a great crowd of men and women gathered in the road. Old Peter, the farmer was there, and so were the merchants and the young soldier. "I hope that the king will not find out what a lazy set of people he has around," said Peter. And then the sound of a horn was heard, and the king was seen coming toward them. He rode up to the atone, got down from his horse, and said : "My friends, it was I who put thia stone here, three weeks ago. It has been seen by every one of you ; and yet every one has left it just where it was, and scolded his neighbor for not moving it out of the way." Then he stooped down and rolled the stone over. Underneath the stone was a round, hollow place, in which was a small iron box. The king held up the box so that all the people might see what was written on a piece of paper fastened to it. These were the words : "For him who lifts the stone." He opened the box, turned it upside down, and out of it fell a beautiful gold ling and twenty brightgold coins. Then every one wished that he had only thought of moving the stone in stead of going around it and finding fault with his neighbor. There are many people still who lose prizes because they think it easier to find falut than to do the work which lies before them. Such people do not usually blame themselves, but think it is all on account of bad luck and hard times. Will Wheat Turn to Chess! It ia the popular and wide-spread belief among farmers and others that the purest and best wheat may be planted and that from such seed a plant wholly different in all of its essential characteristics may germinate and grow. It may also be noted that a similar belief in regard to barley also exists in some portions of the country. The plant which is supposed to be thus mysteriously evolved from the valuable bread grains mentioned is called chess. The advocates of the transmutation of either wheat or bar ley into chess have been repeatedly called upon to demonstrate the alleged change, and rewards or premiums have often been offered to anyone who would prove that such changes actually take place. The believers in the theory that such changes may take place, say that they arc brought about by dif ferent causes, the main one being the sudden freezing or thawing of the wheat while at the point of germination. A Buffalo, N Y., man (Benj. Hodge), once offered $100 to anyone who would prove that such a change had taken place. The reward was claimed by one Sam'l Davidson of Monroe County, New York. Davidson sifted fine earth so as to be sure beyond a doubt that there was no chess seed in it. He then placed the dirt in a pan and plauted it with 30und and perfect grains of whes.t. Next he subjected it to the contingents of sudden freez ing and thawing and to other hard treatment such as is usually said to make chess. When the plants threw out their heads., there appeared chess heads also. The lot was then examined by a committee of the New York Ag ricultural Society and it was found that stalks of chess were present where thc roots were found to proceed direct from grains of wheat which still re mained entire. By some of the com mittee this was looked upon as con clusive, but further investigations proved that some of the chess roots were connected to three or four differ ent wheat grains. That was the puz zle which the committee could not solve and thc whole experiment was voted to be a failure.-St. Louis Re public. Rucklea? Arnica Salve.

Ho he put an advertisement in the paper stating that be had that amount to "blow in" on anything that promised well. The first day be got OOO letterp, and among tho odd schemes held out as bait were a Hying machine, a bucket shop, a greon-gbods game, a patent rainmaker, an automatic cradle, and a wild West show. The Best he Could Bo? It was a Michigan man riding through West Virginia on horseback, and one afternoon as he came along to a settler's cabin on the mountain road, he asked a man leaning over the gate : "Can you tell me how far it is to the town ahead ?" "I reckon I kin, stranger. You'll have to peg along for about nine miles yet." "But it is nearly dark. Is there no tavern on the road ?" "Never heard of any, and I've backed my corn meal over this road risin' 20 years. ,;But perhaps I could put up some where ?" "Perhaps ye could. There's Steve Taylor's down about four miles, but he'd beat ye blind on old sledge. There's Mose Smith, a mile nigher, but Mo;ie would feel offended if ye didn't trade him that boss for a stub tailed mule. Might put up at Green's but there's lots of rattlesnakes around his place. Kurnel Johnson is down about six miles, but the kurnel would turn ye out of doors at midnight if he found that ye didn't vote his way." "But what am I to do ?" "Waal, I'm a squar' man, stranger, and the best I kin do is to ax ye to stop here with me, an' to tell ye be forehand that if ye ar' awakened in the night by shingles being ripped off and logs pulled down it won't be an avalanche or cyclone, but only me an' the old woman a-trying for the hun dredth time since the war to see who handles the money when I sell two coon skius for a dollar !" "I-I guess I'll go on," faltered the rider. "Ke-rect, stranger! The last man who stopped here said he wished he'd have run the chances with thc Green's, an' I gin him my hand when he rode off. I'm squar' up and down, as I told ye, and Green's is the third cabin on this side arter ye cross the creek." Faithful Herder. A dog in New Mexico, returning ore evening with his sheep to the fold, discovered that his master was still in his shanty and kept very quiet, says the Christian at Work. The next evening it was the same. But after penning up the sheep the dog smelled about the door, scratched, barked, and even howled, as he was getting very hungry. But his master did not move. The dog, true to his appointed duty, went out with the sheep on the third day, but that night when he drove the flock into their pen, the last one to at tempt to get in became the victim of the dog's appetite. This method of providing for his own wants became a part of the faithful dog's duty. Every evening the last sheep to try to enter the fold was seized by him and served for supper and breakfast and dinner the following day. Theranch to which the dog belonged was in a solitary part of the territory, and out of the track of travel and visitation. For two years from the time of the master's death, as ascertained by data left by the latter, the faithful dog at tended the flock committed to his charge and had fresh mutton for his supper every night. The flock was not decimated by his steady drain up on its resources. On the contrary, it increased in numbers, and when, at the end of two years from the time of the death of the proprietor, the ranch was visited and the remains of the owner were found, the dog was still at his post of duty, jealously guarding his flock and driving them to the best pas tures every day and to the fold at night, before which he slept to keep the wild sheep eaters of the plains ata safe distance. - Jefferson said of agriculture that it is the grand exchequer of the world, that honors all drafts, however large. To express the idea otherwise, all the world stands with open mouth, wait ing for the farmer to fill it with food.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S.C., .Tune 25 -Of the many pet? that are kept in the bouse, we find the dog, cat and bird most fre quently. It may be of interest to those Keeping and fondling animals, that these apparenily innocent creatures are only too often the source of decided danger to the health of the owner. There are but few dogs entirely free from parasites. ThoRe infecting the skin, excepting the parasite producing mamie, are of no great moment to the human, save a tem porary annoyance ; while certain parasites inhabiting the intestinal canal of man's greatest pet, the dog, will live and do well to the disadvantsge of its new host, aiAD, if unfortunate enough to become infected. The process is simple and a great many instances are on record, Bhowing the correctness of this only ap parent theory. The dog in licking the hand or as it ls at times lermeu "kissing" the face of its owner may deposit the eggs of the parasite upon the licked parts, that tbesfl now have a decided chance to enter man's mouth and consequently stomach and intestines, is easily seen. (Viany a mysterious disease character ed mainlv by deranged liver functions or intestinal trouble, and even premature death, follows too close association with the pet dog. Tue same refers, to a certain extent, to cats, although they are probably more concerned in the spread of contagious diseases. Their prowling nature brings them in contact with ail sorts of deadly germs which adhere to their feet and hair, as they travel from one refuse barrel to the other. Imagine a cat after having been out all night and coming in contact with rubbish and sweepings, to return in the morning to be taken up into the arms nf a child anda kiss imprinted upon its fur impregnated with dust, and possibly germs of some dread disease as diptheria or tuberculosis. A highly interesting fact was brought ont some time ago when the Royal veterinary college, of Berlin, Germany, announce'd the fact that 19 per cent, or all birds (parrots and canary birds) brought there for treatment bad tuber culosis. Whether these birds contracted consumption originally from their owners was not conclusively shown excepting that all the families having these con sumptive birds hud tuberculosis in the family. That the disease can be trans ferred from the human to the bird or vice versa, for Instance while letting "Birdie" eat sugar from the owner's mouth is undeniable. The point, there fore, in the safe keeping of animal pets is leay familiarity with these animals. W. E. A. WYMAN, V. S. A Sharp Business Man's Courting. Pitts is a fast man, a sharp man, a man of business tact, and when Pitta goes into a store to trade, he always gets the lowest cash price; and he says: "Well, I'll look about, and if I don't find anything that suits me bet ter, I'll take this !" Pitts, like all fast men, is partial to women, and young ones in particular. Now, quite lately, Pitts said to him self : "I'm gettin' rather 'long in years and I guess I'll get married." His business qualities wouldn't let him wait, so off he travels and calling upon a lady friend, opens the conver sation by remarking that he would like to kuow what she thought about his getting married. "Oh, Mr. Pitts, that is an aifair in which I am not greatly interested, and I prefer to leave the matter with your self." "But," says Pitts, "you are inter ested, and, my dear girl, will you mar ry me?"' The young girl blushed very red, hesitated and finally, as Pitts was well-to do in the world, and morally. financially and politically of good <i ? - standing; in society, she accepted him. Whereupon the matter-of-fact Pitts responded : "Well, well, I'll look about, and if I don't End any that suits me better than you, I'll come back." - "Mary, I hope you took good care of my animals while I was avray?" "Indeed I did; only once I forgot to feed the cat." "I hope she didn't suffer." "Oh, no; she ate the canary and the parrot." - ? writer in Blackwood says : "When people want to speak of a na tive of Holland, they call him an Am sterdam Dutchman; but when they speak o!' one of the Germau race gene rally, they leave out the A nister."
