A Hear Hunt on the Dosewlips. "Tell us about some of your hunt ing adventures William," we said one Wiarter evening as we sat around our bright fire. Will is a stout, young, half breed boy, whose home is on the Dosewlips, a river,which flows into Hood's Canal. Perhaps some of my readers may not know where Hood's Canal Is? If they have ever been on Puget Sound, or are not posessed of a large map of Western Washington Territory It will be hard for them to realize the "magnigcent distances" of these far reaching inland seas with their many beautiful tribu taries. Hood's CAnal la a Southern arm of Puget Sound. It is sixty miles long, averages two miles in width, and was so called because a man named Hood was killed on its shore by Indians, a number of years ago, Its banks on either side are high wooded hills, with occasionally a valley, down which some swift stream brings its flood from the mountain depths. The(, Dosewilps is one of these rivers, a few mien have made homes upon its banks, but there Is very little open land. Wooded hills stretch out in every direction, finally rising at the North Into the Olympian Mountains. Through these woods Willian. has hunted ever iice be learned to handle a gun and has had some exciting adventures. "It was about the middle of last sep tembor," said William, "when I start ed out for a day's hunting, I had poor luck though, and tramped the woods nearly all 5 ay without seeing anyti lig worth shooting at. About sunset I came down to the river bank and saw that I was nine or ten miles above home, just then a little dog I had with me began to bark and looking up the river I saw a bear eating a flt. Raisiing my shot gun I fired at hitm and ho foil oif the bank into the river, but flound ered around, got out and walked away, thinking to make short work of 1im I stood my gun against a tree 'nd taking my revolver in my hand followed lit i, I soon. overtook him and fired hittitig him in the right shoulder, he gave a big grunt but run off. The third time I came up with him lie was going around at big cedar tree and I was be( hind another tree about elgiteou yards off. As I fired lie turned and seeing the smoke,run at me. I climbed up one high rock, across which grew two siender vine maples, o11 above the other. I walked out on the lower o11 hloldintg on the uipper onie to steady myself. I thought the bear would not trust hIls weight on then and so could not get at me, but Instead of ellmbing i) oi the rock he catme around It ndorictht the maples an1d reariig up seized the vin es itt his moutit and bent it, breaking it, thus lowering me so that:hc could get me around the knees and pull me down, then ie gradually worked utp to tmy waist ah1nitng to get at m11y throLt. 1 kept my left arm up to warttd h1itm oil and let hih claw on tiat. A fler a tussle we would both te tired out and have to rest. Finally the boar mtade a sptrintg and getting on1 my13 shtoulder began to bite atnd tear mty hand which I held up to keel) htim from tty throat. I had a dirk knife in mty pocket but the bear haid his jpaw ont my3 right hand, and whlenever I tried to get thte knife heo would roil over on me in such a way suhforce thtt I thoug~ht ite htad bro ken it, then hle c laweui tmy htead, all the time trying to got at my throat. At last the t'he bear got kitnd of worr-ied out atnd I tmade a great effort and tit rew him off atnd got, awtay, I thon wvent a short distance anld jump1 ied linto a pon d of water and washed thue blood out of my eyes. I had three doeep gashes 11n one thtigh, two otn my head antd my left arm and both htands were pltetty well clawed up. 1 got may gun tand went htomie, waditng the river three times, I was burning hot and the tnext mornitng wvas very stliff and sore, butt. * ~ ~~Vent ont wvith my13 brother aftter the -bear.

Where crosses -are fast rootedl and tlourisuiltig in a bgrook, or any other water, It will be folund-that-after a coat of stout ie has bett formed the cr'op is gone etn tirely. Thtat is to say, a ll the succu. lent leafy stems tnltt umight have boeen cut before the frost cametl have boon destroyed by ordinary freezinug, if only to the extenat of abouit seven to ten de grees. It follows, thtereforo, that to preserve cresses for winter use any . Awhere out of (Jeors shelter of somue kind is tneessary. There are many ways of doing this. It is not untutsual for the market growers to let in a flood Sof fresh-water whlen a shtarpi frost is expected. 'lThis covers the plants, and the Ice is formed so far above them that they escape its effects. A nothter plani is to lay plantks or tree lopplIn~gs over the bed, and rough cont:-t vatnces of this kitld. .wvill carry a crop through a moderate frost, butt a otn tinuedl and severe frost illh find its if way thlrouggh such penetrable stuff.

Satow.--Every - fariffer undorstrui de the value of snow as a protection to winter crops and the roots of perennial plants, but above this it has a real ma nurial value that but few comprehend. A supply of ammonia Is one of the con ditions of vigorous plant growth. This compound of nitrogen and hydro gen, in its uncombined state, is a gas ligh.er than air, invisible and of it pungent odor. When combined with carbonic acid it forms the white, sol(d substance known as "smelling salts." Water absorbs It In large quantities, when cold, but parts with it as the temperAture rises. When dissolved in water It is known as "hartshorn" in coun.mnon language-the "aqua ammo nia" of the druggists. Anmonia is formed, in greater or less quantities, in the decomposition of all organic substances, but most abundantly in the putrefaction of animal matter. When thus formed it passes Iinto the air as a gas. The atmosphere general ly contains an appreciable mixture of ammonia. In cold climates after heavy winter rains, or after the ground hass been covered with snow for weeks,and the cold has suspended the decomposi tion of organic matter, ammonia can not be detected in the atmosphere. Rain or mnow falling through the air, takes up its aninonia and carries it to the earth where it Is absorbed if the ground be loose and porois. But snow absorbents of ainmotnia. Oin thawing being cold and porous,ls one of the best it carries Its fertilizing store into tine soli. A Scotch proverb says, "snow is the poor inan's Imanuire, Tim UsE OF IRTILiIEt.-l)ie would suppose, fromi thie diminished use Iade of the advertising colunis of news papers, that the quantity of fertilizers applied by outr farmers had greatly fallen ofl. i'erhaps it his to it certain extent, bat by no 1nans to the extent supposed. It is true that many of the preparations turned out to be frauds, anid one trial of them was enough but we know that when the quality of the preparation I8 carefully 11iaiin tanl 11ed, and the fact is miade known through the public journals, there is no lack In tine atounit of the sa'es.

FOOD FOR THE SJoK.-The following advice as to administering food to the sick deserves the attention of nurses and of all who are called upon to look after nervous pstents: It is a great mistake to have large quantities of fruit, biscuits, etc.. lying about a sick room. A very few grapes, an orange peeled and divided, and two or three milk or water biscuits are quite enough to have (isplayed at one time. Tlie same may be said of food. I have often been pained, when visiting some of my sick pensioners, to see their friends, with well-meant but mistaken kindness bring large basinfuls of horrible com pounds, which they dignify with the name of gruel, or sago, or taplo a, as the case may be. Tie mere sight of the food seemed to set tom against it. Whereas, if a little care had been be stowed-upon Its preparation, and a small cupful provided instead of the large quantity I nme, they probably* would have partaken of it with plea sure. Another error, committed with the best of Intentions, Is to keep ask lng the patients what they would like, if they could take this tlingr or the other. Tle slekencO, wearied expres sion I haive often seen flit over the faces of' peoniC who are i ecovering fromi a ligering illness, whei their ofillous relatlves come teaslng themn as to their re(juirements I During the lingering illness of a dear relative, I verily believe we made her of ten eat, just by providinag dainty morsels of food, diplayinig them tempthigly ar raniged, and tatkinig thema to heir bed side quite unexpectedly. If sie had been asked could she eat ainything, I feeL conlidentt Lite answer would have Inevitably been : "No; thanks. I don't feel It all incliled to eat.' A very simple and expeditious Lway Of cookinag a little bit of chicken or Ilsh Is to butter a paper thickly, place the food to be cooked within the paper, and place It on the gridiron over a clear lire. A very shore time suiflices to cook it thoroughly, and I have oLten1 ound that to be enten whena all other anodes of' ilnvalid cookery have been tried in vain. A No good Preachtum.

AN "old tar" has recently prepared a handbook of nautica'l terms for the use of persons who intend to follow the sea. In order to. correct popular belief, our author gravely asserts that the berths ogi board the ship do net ne cessarily add to the census. The hatch ways are not hen's nests. The weigh of the ship is not the extent of her avoirdupois. The boatswain does not pipeall hands with a mneersohaum. T'he slip does not have a wake over a dead clam. The swell or a ship's side is not caused by dropsy, nor the taper of a bowsprit a sallow candle. The hold Is not the vessel's grip. The trough of the ship is. not dug out of the ship's log. The crest of a wave Is no indication of its rank. The buoy is not the captain's son. The men are not beat to quarters with a cib. Ships are never boarded at hotels. The bow of the ship Is no evidence olpoliteness. A sailor's stockings are never manu factured from a yarn of his own spin ning. The sails of the ship are not made by an auctioneer, nor the stays constructed by a milliner. [Worcester (Mass.) spy.) Nothling on Earth so Good.

Tuax demeanor most affected by belles this winter is that of the unso phisticated inquirer. She asks ques tions of her male coipanion on 'sub jects that she knows more about than lie does,and waits wide-eyed and open lipped for his answers, with the most innocent air imaginable." Oh, well, If she is going to questidn her male companion on the subject of rouge, and lily white, and false hair, and bustles, and corsets, and things, of course lie will look puzzled and be un able to answer her questions. His edlucation has been sadly neglected in that particular branch, and she shouldn't take such a mean advantage of his ignorance. A nnavE boy who kept twenty In diaos at bay, died of his wounds at Denver, Col., a few days ago. It never happens that way in a dime novel of liallain warfare.
