^ A Ranchman's Thrilihg Adsenture on the ^

"It was while 1 was employed on the
G? cattle ranch, in the state of Kansas,
that the following exciting incident
happened." writes H.W.Steveu.
son in the Pittsburg Dispatch. "Being
a young man, scarcely 18, I was
naturally opposed to working all the
time, so had taken a well-earned holiday
and had gone over to Fort Larned
to pay a visit to friends who were then
In the service of the government.
Being mounted on a good horse and
accompanied by my favorite dog, Tim,
I did not feel lonesome, and it was
Just getting dusk when I set out on
my return journey. Tim thought he
would venture on a little hunting expedition
of his own, so, leaving me to
follow at my leisure, spurted on ahead
in search of game.
"I had not ridden very far before
I became aware of an unusual amount
of noise and barking some distance
in front, and apparently in line of j
where I was beading ror. i naa uuc
beard any sound for over half an hour
that would indicate where my dog
was, so when this yelping suddenly
smote my ear I surmised that he had
cornered or captured some sort of
| game.
. . "Carefully examining my revolvers,
of which 1 most always carried a couple
in my belt when out on these excursions
by myself, I rode hurriedly
forward to Investigate the trouble. In
another moment I was in the midst
of the conflict and then it was for
the first time I became fully aware of
what was transpiring.
"It wasn't dogs at all, as I at first
thought that were killing my hound,
but wolves?prairie wolves?and as
soon as I took In the situation I knew
that not only the life of my favorite
dog was In danger, but I, myself, was
in a tight place and must act, and
that quickly. If I ever expected to
reach my friends alive. The moon had
? ' by this time lifted her illuminated
face above the eastern sky line, and
her mellow light enabled me to faintly
|? distinguish this struggling mass of
wolves, fighting over the remains of
my-poor dog. He was past all help
on my part, but had died game and
fighting to the last, as was evidenced
by a number of dead and dying wolves
scattered round the edge of their surI
Tiring comrades.
"A feeHng of revenge took posses- :
slon of me at the sight of my dead
hound, and utterly regardless of my
own safety I determined to get even
with these four-legged cannibals for
the loss of my dog. My horse was
shykig and prancing so that my aim
was poor, and as soon as I began firing

him from running off.. But I was def:
terminer to have revenge, and continued
firing into the crowd of wolves
until I had emptied both my revolvers.
My aim must have been bad, for after
f I bad ceased firing there seemed to be
gk as many wolves still surviving as
; there were when I began, but I must
have put several of them out of the
game, at least Maddened by the
taste of blood, and almost devouring
one another in their eagerness to
satisfy their ravenous hunger, they,
all at once, turned their attention to
where I and my now. thoroughly
frightened horse were standing.
"TCwas then I fully realized my
perilous position. Unarmed as I was,
having exhausted all my ammunition,
I was In no manner a match for these
savage animals, who were maddened
to frenxy by the taste of blood. My
only safety lay In flight, and without
a moment's hesitation I dug the spurs
into my horse and he responded to tie
jg unkind treatment on,my part b.v giving
a leap that almost threw me out

"I beaded him as best I couM in

a sinking heart I prepared to sell my
life dearly and, if necessary, sacrifice
my horee to do so, by leaving him
to the mercy of the wolves and make
fcy escape 36 best I could. But the
thought of leaving him to be devoured
by these ferocious animals gave me
fresh energy, and I urged him on still
faster. He was doing his utmost,
poor fellow, and I thought If we ever
escaped, nothing would be too good
for him the remainder of his life. His
strength was fast going away and his
breathing grew faster and faster, until
I almost imagined I was riding
some automatic animal driven by
steam. I leaned forward every now
and then Hind patted Ids neck, thus encouraging
him that I appreciated his
efforts, at the same time glancing
back to see how near my enemies
were.
"He must have understood my carf

for the sight of our camp! Would
that welcome sight ever appear? And
I had almost given up hope and was
preparing for the forthcoming struggle
when, on reaching a slight rise in
tho prairie. I beheld the most welcome
sight I had ever seen.
"Approaching me was a small band
of horsemen, clearly outlined against

away in an opposite direction and
were soon out of sight. They left
over half of their number on the field,
however, thanks to my friends' good
aim, but not even the whole pack, lyI
ing dead at my feet, could have recompensed
me for the loss of my
hound. But I was thankful to get off
with my own life, and it was with a
prayerful spirit that I related my recent
experiences to my companions,
as we journeyed back to camp. They,
it seems, had become anxious to my
long absence, and decided to ride out
and meet me, it being such a fine
night, and I've been thankful ever

CATS IN COLD STORAGE.
Six Months la a Low Temperature Made
a Chance in Their Appearance.
The effect of cold upon the capillary
properties of certain animals was
strikingly illustrated in New York
some time ago. A warehouse man on
Jane street was annoyed by the ravages
of hordes of mice. He had little
trouble in the main part of his building
where a couple of well-trained
cats kept the place tolerably free from
the pests, but in the cold-storage portion
the mice held full sway. They
nibbled into packages and boxes, and
destroyed such quantities of fruits
that heroic measures were necessary.
It seemed rather a cruel experiment,
but the nuisance became so unbearable
that he decided at last to install
a cat in the cold-storage warehouse.
Provision to a certain ex&?m
made for lier comfort and si.e was
left to lier own devices and the mice.
Pussy seemed to flourisb. notwithstanding
the cold, and in the course of
about a week became the mother of
a fine litter of six kittens. After a
time three of the latter were reonoved,
but the old cat and her remaining
progeny were left in their arctic
quarters. When |llowed out if w*as
noticed that she grew weak ami listless.
She tottered about in an aimless
way, as though ali energy and interest
in life were lost. As soon, however,
as she was returned to her
cold quarters, she recovered her vigor
and became as bright and actfive as
usual.
A curious feature was soon observed
in the kittens. They grew to a? immense
size, their coats became long
and shaggy, and the fur much
coarser than that of an ordinary cat;
it had also a peculiar tendency to
curl. The feelers, or whiskers, too,
grew to nearly double length, so that
when they were placed beside the
members of their own immediate
family the difference was so marked
that they might have easily passed
for an entirely different breed.
The change took place within three
months, giving a curious, example of
how suddenly and completely" nature
will adapt itself to the exigencies of
climate with the young.?Washington

PEARLS OF THOUCHT.
The man who pardons easily courts
injury.
To see what is right and uot to do
it, is want of courage.
Affliction teaches a wicked man to
pray; prosperity never.
The superior man has dignified ease
without pride; the mean man has
pride without dignified ease,
j See what a niau does, mark his moi
tive, examine in what he rests; how
i can a man conceal bis character?
When you know a thing, to hold
j that you know It, and when you do
no know a thing, to allow that you do
j not know it?this is knowledge.
What is the good of being ready
| with the tongue? They who meet
j men with smartness of speech for the
! most part procure themselves hatred.
Teach more self-denial and make its
| practice pleasurable, and you create
I for the world a destiny more sublime
| than ever issued from the brain of
j the wildest dreamer.
I A moral young man's characterise
| ties are honesty of speech, respectabi|
lity of carriage, industry of miud and
j consideration for others. With these
| a young man is ns "model" as it is
j given for an earthly being to be.
! The most vindictive people are those
: who have brought upon themselves the
injury of which they complain. A
i drunkard who has exhausted the
! patience of his relatives during long
years of indulgence, instead of remembering
their innumerable kindnesses,
turns upon them when they
put him under restraint.
Education in China.
j Education of a certain type is very
! general, but still there are vast nuruj
bers of countrymen in China who can
| neither read nor write. There is a
I special literary class ?ho alone know
the literature of their country, to the
study of which they devote their lives.
There are boarding schools, day
schools, and colleges. Examinations
mainly confined. to moral philosophy
and literature are held In the perfectorial
cities of each province twice in
three years for the lower degree necessery
as a passport to the public service,
and of the six or seven thousand
candidates who have come forward,
uot more than uu can oe aamnrea to i
the degree of Literary Chancellor. J
For the higher degrees, other examinations
are necessary. There is a '*College
of Foreign Knowledge" at Pekin.
where European languages, mathematics,
sciences, etc., are taught by
European, Japanese, and American
; professors. There are besides many
! Christian mission schools, where the
j English language and lower branches
I of western sciences are taught. The

SCIENCE NOTES.
The mean density of the sun is only
about one-fourtb that of the eartli.
This low density is one of the several
reasons for believing that the sun's
mass is gaseous throughout.

As destroyers of many of our most i
pestiferous night-flying insects, like i
mosquitoes, the bat is almost our sole
dependence, and, as he is known to
hunt insects afoot as well as 011 the
wing, he is also of some value Iot
larvae that do not fly. So says one of
the scientists, who also credits the but
with destroying coddling moths.

a slit moving rapidly across the sensitive
plate. But to obtain good results,
the space between the plate and
the shutter should not exceed onetenth
of a millimetre, and the edges
of the slit must be sharp and carefully
beveled to exclude reflection.
A remarkable effect of the great
hurricane of 1S0S in the West India
Islands was the complete disappearance
from the island of St. Vincent of
a species of humming-bird, which,
previous to the storm, had been one
of the commonest and tamest birds
that inhabited the island. Other
species of humming-birds, of a larger
size, survived the tempest, and are yet
to be seen in St. Vincent, but the little
bronze-green birds with erected crests,
which formerly attracted much admiration,
are all gone.
The brilliant "photosphere" of the
sun is now held to be a shell of clouds,
within the sun's gaseous mass, but at
an altitude?or distance from the centre?such
that the temperature is low
enough for the partial condensation
of those substances which are the
most intractable to heat. This theory
is well illustrated by steam issuing
from the nozzle of a tea kettle. Steam
is an invisible gas; but as soon as it
becomes cooled below a certain point
from contact with the outer air it
condenses into a visible vapor, forming
clouds. The droplets which form
the solar clouds are probably mainly
of carbon, although condensed to the
liquid, or possibly the solid form, they
are still hot enough to be intensely incandescent.
Within a few years scientists, have
paid particular attention to the collection
of skulls which bear wounds, and
especially the weapon, and in our
museums and those of Europe many
remarkable and interesting examples
are known. In the French cavern
of .the Sordes. which may date
back 50.000 years, more or less,
a woman's skeleton was found,
the skull of which had been
beaten in with a flint weapon, a gap
ing and terrible wound showing in the
right side. Some attempts have been
made at surgery, as pieces of the
broken bone had been removed and
the wound had begun to heal when
death ensued. In the Stone Age
caves of France many interesting
specimens have been found,
pointing to the method of death
by these crude but telling weapons.
SOUARI NUTS IN CHICAGO.
Odd Products of British Guiana Finding
Favor in Our Fruit Markets.
Souria or Su-war-rownuts from British
Guiana made their first appearance
in the Chicago market during
the last week and promise henceforth
to become a regular contribution from
South America to the commerce of th?
North American continent. The
Souari nut is very plentiful in parts of
British Guiana, but so far as known
Is not found in any other country on
the face of the earth. It is quite palatable,
but the shell is of unusual
thickness and strength, and for this
reason the nuts have never been highly
prized by the not over-industrious
natives. In Chicago, however, the
nut is finding considerable favor and
the importations in this direction
promise to reach fully as large proportions
as those of any other tropical
or semi-tropical nut. Its shape and
appearance is quite odd. The color
is about the same as that of a cocoanut,
but the exterior, instead of being
hair?*, is hard and warty and the nut
is about treble tire size of an ordinary
Brazil nut after it has been extracted
from the "pod" or covering in which
it is grown. Imagine a dark colored
lady's purse, well filled and cut off
squarely with a pair of scissors just

pressed together just as they
were when the scissors began cutting
them, and you have the nearest approach
to the Souari .nut. Fully twothirds
of its bulk is shell and considerable
power must be exerted to release
the kernel. The latter, however, is
well worth the extra trouble.
The Souari is classed by botanists
as of the Caryocan nuciferum, or tea
family, and is also presumed by thorn
to l>e indigenous to British Guiana.
According to the botanists also it is
related to the butternut family, though
it resembles its North American relative
in nothing except perhaps the
color which the latter s covering assumes
after it has been darkened by
frost and exposure. The name Suwar-row
is that by which it is commonly
known in South America and
is a corruption of the proper name.
Oast traders and others familiar with
it have known it for years as the
South American butternut. This. too.
is presumed to have been because of
its scientific classification.?Chicago

Fishing an Art in China.
Nowhere in the world is the art of
fishing so highly developed as in China.
Rivers, creeks, stagnant pools, the
great ocean and the little tank, lakes
and garden ponds, all furnish their
quota to the sustenance of man. Even
rice grounds are turned into fisli ponds
in winter. The inhabitants of the

PHIL BYRD HONORED.
Appointed Adjutant General of
Georgia By Governor Candler.
Will Hold Office 60 Days.
Friday Governor Candler, of Georgia,
issued to Phil. G. Byrd a commission
as adjutant-general of the state
for a term of three years.
Although the commission reads for
three years, this being necessary to
conform to the state law, it is known
that General Byrd will not hold the
office longer than sixty days. This is
due to the fact that he has certain
large interests in Central America,
which will require his presence in that

This was fully understood by Governor
Candler when the appointment
was made, and, as a matter of fact,
although the appointment is in effect
a temporary one, General Byrd has received
all that he asked for.
The concensus of political opinion
seems to be that the governor's appointment
was an eminently proper
one, and he is being congratulated upon
this solution of the problem. In
view of the fact that General Byrd
had served so faithfully as acting adjutant
general, his promotion to the
position held by General Kell was all
along considered a foregone conclusion;
but hardly anyone knew of his
intention to give up the place after so
short a time.
The latter fact practically leaves the
race still open.

PICTURE FRAME MOULDING
I
j Thousands of Styles Now and Additions
j Made to the Variety Yearly.
I Ficturo frame mouldings, such as
; are manufactured and sold by "whole!
sale in strips to be cut up as may be
j required in the making of picture
j frames, are produced in uniform
I lengths twelve feet. There are also
j produced cheaper picture frame
; mouldings in mitatien of some of these
i woods, as of oak. These various
j mouldings are made in many widths
j and many thiekhesses, and in great

; them with no ornamentation whatever,
j and many of them ornamented witli
i a beading or other design, which may
! be carved in the wood by the machine
i in which the moulding is made, or
j pressed or stamped in the wood,
j Sometimes this heading is gilded, or so
treated as to look like oxidized metal,
and sometimes a straight, smooth line
or division of a wood moulding is finished
in the same manner.
Many picture frame mouldings are
finished in white; some in white with
i another color; some are made in combinations
of colors, and some are made
in single colors, and these last may be
made in many shades. Then -there is
a variety of mouldings in black. Many
of these colored mouldings are plain
I in design. And then there are many
of the colored mouldings that are ;
highly ornamented.
Of gilded picture frame mouldings
the variety produced Is very large. |
Some are gilded with gold; some with
a lacquer laid on over silver leaf, and
some are gilded with a cheaper material.
Picture frame mouldings, taking
them altogether, are produced in thousands
of styles, and new styles are
constantly being added, these being
put on the market twice a year, for
the spring and the fall trade. A picture
frame moulding manufacturer
producing mouldings in literally hundreds
of styles would still produce
more or less new styles, twenty, perhaps,
or forty, each season. But ror
all the great variety offered there are
certain kinds and styles of picture
frame mouldings that are staple goods,
and that sell steadily; just as there are
staple lines in all kinds of merchandise.
ij' ;
There are big factories devoted solely
to the manufacture of picture frame
mouldings. Some manufacturers
I make a specialty of gilt mouldings,
some of natural wood and other mouldings,
and in some factories all sorts
of mouldings, and frames as well, are
produced. Formerly picture frame
mouldings were all made In the East,
and mouldings are 'still made here:
but the great bulk Is now produced
in the West, where the factories are
nearer the sources of supply of the
wood used in their manufacture.
As compared with twenty years ago,
picture frame mouldings are now
made "In far greater variety; and there
are produced a far greater number ot
artistic mouldings than ever. And
with the use of advanced modern machinery
in their manufacture picture
frame mouldings are much cheaper
than they were in old times; so that it
is nowadays possible to get from
among the great variety of mouldings
offered suitable and handsome frames
at low* prices. As compared with a
year or two ago, the wholesale prices
of picture frame mouldings are now a
i little higher than they were then, this
being due to the present increased cost
of the lumber and other materials entered
into their manufacture.?>*ew

Queer Flights of Steps.
Coming down the main walks from
the Capitol to Pennsylvania avenue,
in Washington, there are groups of
three or four steps that are very confusing
to the average pedestrian, and
there Is a queer incident connected
with their construction. For years
there was a man aboht the Capitol
who made the study of steps and persons
going up and down stairs a fad
and a science. In watching crowds
walking down the long approaches to
the Capitol he discovered that by far
a greater number of persons stumbled
011 those groups of steps than the
record ought to show.
The attention of the present Capitol
architect was called tp the matter, but
he was incredulous at the idea. "Why,"
said he, "Frederick Olmstead, the architect,
took -especial pains with those
group of steps, I know.". However
they watched the tricky groups ol
steps and discovered that it was really
astonishing the number of persons
who stumbled going up and seemed inclined
to fall in descending, but thej
were utterly at sea for any explanai
tion.
Olmstead went there later. The sub;
ject was brought to his attention anc
1 he went down to watch the steps him
self. He was simply amazed at the
j way people behaved when they reach
ed those steps. He said. "I can't ac
[ count for it. I spent weeks arranging
j the proportion of rise to tread foi
j tliem. Wooden models of them wert
j put down for use at my own place anc
j I walked over them day after day til
I ftlt sure they were perfect."
"Olmstead, isn't one of your legs s
trifle shorter than the other?" the stei
savant inquired.
Olmstead.was dumbfounded when ii
flashed on him that owing ,to the in
j equality in the length of his legs hi
had made steps to the Capitol tha
a were suited only to people similarly
" i afflicted.
