The light was fading when a large puzzling form made its appearance in the gloaming; he was a long way off and I halted, amazed, to decipher the strange apparition. From time to time a ponderous shaggy budy was slowly lifted into the air, pcised on its hind feet while surveying the surroundings, then lowered and a short advance made on all,fours, and the operation repeated. The human attitude the bear has in common witb man; and there was no doubt by this time, in my mind, as to bruin’s identity. He continued to come, making careful studies of his surroundings, and arriving soon at astump-infested piece of country, where he put the stumps to a strange use. They serv- ed as pedestals to give his already towering body more height, as he stcod on their tops on his hind feet, slowing rolling his head from side to side to see the country and ever on the alert. His size was astounding. When he raised himself into position on the stumps he had the appearance of towering twelve feet into the air. I tried to get alittle nearer forashot, but he scented or heard me and was It is far away ina trice.

[livedin the neighborhood ofa camp where the good cook cooled his | kettle of doughnut lard outside the j door of his domain, and I was wander- | ing towards that camp in the late evening “tosee what 1 could see,” and bruin was evidently out on an errand of similar nature. The rattling of a tin lid attracted my attention. It was caused by the cover being re- moved from the aforementioned lard through the immediate agency of my big black bear, and it was thus we came upon each other again. Had it only been a little earlier that I could have used the sights of my gun, a fine bear skin might have been my own; but alas, such luck does not al- ways await the hunter. I fired with- || out sighting and missed as I expected, but what I did not expect happened. Bruin made a bluff, he tried to make merun. Mud was plenty for there had heen rain, and the bear splashed through this fcr a short distance to- wards me, then stopped at a good sized puddle, raised his front paws into the air and let them fall noisily into the water several times in quick succession, as if giving me chase: the while breathiog in quick snorts iz running, but not advancing towards me a Single inch. Seeing I did not run and that his chances -for more lard that evening were slight, he made a hasty retreatamid my laugh- ter and the cook's appearance at his door where he had been brought by the sound of the rattling tin lid and my rifle’s report. We chatted to- gether, and the bear-hunt was off for another year. Spring had arrived again, and I was once more on the prowl. This time in daylight. An old horse had died and had been hauled a short distance from the camp sometime during the previous winter. Towards this spotI was slowly approaching, when from a distance 1 saw a huge black bear, my bear this time asleep with his head Testing on the dead horse’s front legs. He must have realized I was coming for he opened his eyes sleepily and looked towards me, then closed then again. So you prefer to keep this company said I lifting my rifle and firing with such good purpose that I left his carcass with that of the horse when I walked away with his ponder- ous pelt to my home. TEA DEADLY FOE OF TYPHOID. Boiling of the Drink Has a Germicidal Effect. It is said on the high authority of an American medical journal that, al- though the Chinese people live in a germ-saturated soil, they are singular- ly free from typhoid fever and other diseases of which water is the me dium of communication. - This condi- tion is attributed the universal cus- tom of copious tea drinking. The tea itself is not held to be the safeguard against the disease, but the boiling of the drink has a germicidal effect which produces sanitary advan- tages. And if tea produces any ill results they are not to be considered beside these advantages. The tea leaf is described as form- ing one of the most innocent and at- tractive flavorings possible for hot drinks, and the boiled drink is the foe to the deadly germ. The Old Brother's Message. One of the venerable brethren of the Billville Circuit delivered this mes- sage recently: “It’s no use to strug- gle, if you’ve made up your mind to avail yourself of your privelege of fall- in’ from grace, in the belief that you'll git up agin, an’ shake the dust off, and start over ag’in. Some o’ the dust will git in the grain of your gar- ments, and stick there; some of the strength you needed for the journey will be gone, and you'll no more be the same as you was. What you wéat to do is to make the struggle land you high and guard against gittin’ dizzy when you reach the _ hilltop!”—Chi- cago American.

It is believed by many that the oldest trade routes were created for the salt traffic. This was certain ly the case with the caravan routes in Libya and the Sahara, while the mines of North India were the cenier of a large trade before the time of Alex ander. Salt, too, has played a consid erable part in the distribution of man. He was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gained his ideas of maritime com merce. Lastly, the preservative ef. fects of salt on flesh food made long oceanic voyages possible and thus opened up the world to commerce and civilization. Reclaiming the Sahara Desert. As a result of recent scientific in- vestigations it may be possible to re vise our ideas of the barrenness of the Sahara desert, since it has been found by boring that there are numerous springs which rise to the surface and make possible a system of irrigation In the territory to the south of Algeria a government irrigation survey has been at work making a series of deep test borings, some of which are as deep as 2,000 feet. In this way con siderable water has been encountered and in certain oases already twice the usual amount of water has been made available for the palm groves.—Har- ver’s Weekly.
