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.

we would both te tired out and have
to rest. Finally the boar mtade a sptrintg

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

the time trying to got at my throat.
At last the t'he bear got kitnd of worr-ied

the value of snow as a protection to
winter crops and the roots of perennial
plants, but above this it has a real ma

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,

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

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.

A Brussels co~npany have produced a
collossal statue of Vah .Eyak 'by. bhe
deposition of copper electrically upon
tihe clay model. The production of
statuary on a small scale may, it is
said, be readily accomplished by this
process: Boil any plaster ~figure
or group In stearine, black-lead it -and
then plunge it into a copper badh, to
which a very weak battery Is attached.
When a thin coating of copper is do
posited, remove the object from the

the plaster can be shaken out in dust,
leaving a thin copper reproduction of
the model. Varnish this copper on the
outside so that when it is replaced in
the bath all the copper deposited will
be on the inside, and the necessary
thickness be thus secured.
