I have only one hobby, ard that is shoes, or rathera peculine fashion I have of wearing them, writes a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. [ used to think that a man got the best service out of ashoe by putting on the ' best paira shoemaker could made him and wearing them constantly until the leather gave way somewhere, but now think that it is the most extravagant way of dro;sln?v feet. I am never without three or four pairs of shoes in good wearable condition. Inever wear the same pair two days insuccession, and at least once a mouth I go over each pair with a brush dipped in vaseline. Thus with three pairs of shoes I give each pair one day of work and two days of rest, and the leather has time to re- gain its elnsticity and stretch out the wrinkles the foot has made. These wrinkles become breaks in the leather wnen the shoe 18 coutinuously worn. The vaseline is better than any oil for flue leather. I used to wear out four pairs of $8 shoes a year, one at a time. The same number now lasts me two years, Stonehill Dress goods sale. About 50 odd pleces of fine dross goods at half cost.

His fame s‘preml from seatosea. His first great “fake’ was a story about an encounter with two high- waymen, whom he vanquished on a trestle near Big City, Ky. The ease with which he got the newspapers to bite encouraged him to greater efforts. It would be impossible to recount all the marvellous yarns he has spun since then, but probably none of his hoaxes were more ingenious than that about the meteorite in Texas. The story was first printed in the Fort Worth papers, and was briefly telegraphed all over the country by the press lines. A meteo: the largest ever known in scientific rods had fallen in a remoto Texas county, with the usual accompaniments of noise and fire. It was 5o big it had completely demolished a house and killed a family of seven Texans, Well, the event was 80 remarkable and unprecedented that the Fort Worth newspaper offices wero besieged the noxt day with tetegrams from all the leading journals of the country asking further particulars, Scientific societies were excited and sent inquiries, and even some European scientists became stirred up on the subject. Buton eareful investigation it developed that Joe Mulhattan was the only meteorite who had shot across the Texas skies that season. Joo always claimed that none of his honxes ever harme anybody, but that they gave entertainment to thousands of newspaper readers,” B Youthful Giaut of the South Sea.

In his rude and imperfect form of speech, the chief without a following substan- 'n crop of this valley has been a failure for the past five years. When- ever the crop is a failure ‘in the valley the crop is bountiful on the coast rang and when it is large there it is sparso e.” No explanation can be given of seeming peculinrity, only that ‘it just happened so.” The Mono and other Indians that frequented this valley to gather the acorn crop come no more, and have abandoned this lovely vale to howling tourists and professional sightscors, Through the kindness of the chief I was shown through his small camp of a few huts and perhaps twenty-five or thirty followers of a tribe thav a few ye: numbered more than one thou: Though acor have disappearel ‘‘caches” or store bask These baskets are queer derfully made, being 12ix8 feet, and placed on a platform four feet from the ground. The sides are formed of bushes interlaced with pine boughs inverted, the needles of which prevent squirrels from climbing up, and also conduct tho rain downward on the outside.

The acorns are stored here and preserved during winter for t as the woodpecker s in the holes he drills in the R’i“e tre It is both interest- ing and amusing to see the squaws pre- pare the frugal meal of acorn bread. The women and children gather the acorns in small baskets—the more worms in the acorns the better they are rolished, Kach acorn is placed on its particular end and hit on the héad with a pebble, which opens it, separating the bark from the kernel; then it is spread on a rock to dry, after which the women grind the acorns into by means of mortar and pestle, somethings like druggists mix com- pounds for the disorganization of the stomach of the pale face. In the mean- time the bucks have builta fire sur- rounded by rocks, which are made a “‘white heut,” The meal is poured 1nto a water-tight basket, and the white- heated rocks are dropped in. The water is not permitted to boil, but is hot enough to cook the meal, T'he stuff is stiered like gruel until it assumes a thickness like paste. A hole is **scooped” into the bed of a stream, and water permisted to run over it. This removes the tannin, or bitter taste, and although a little sand adheres to the cake it does notscem to make much difference. The butter used for this bread is also very primitive, and is, perhaps, the or- igin of the manufacture of our oleo- margarine. When foam forms on the margin of Mirror lake it is coyvered with flies and other insects, which make it thick with larvie and pupm, women and children—always the women and children—skim off this scum of living and dead insects, wash away the fonm in fresh water and thus they have good, fresh butter. Butter is also made of gnats and grasshoppers, The grass- hoppers are caught, threaded on strings and filed away for future use until they become a iittle mellow,as in a gre state they are considered too rich the red man’s blood. The grasshop- pers are caught by forming a line of women and ¢hildren and driving them into a ditch dug by the women and im- children, Sometimes, when an promptu meal is wanted the grass is on fire, and the jumping grasshopper is not only caught but cooked at the same time. - Oloaks!

Two Miners Discover a Strange Bruin in the ~t. Elias Mountaina. This country has done its part in fure nishing new species of bear, accordin, to the Sitka Alaskan. Tothe old worls hist it has added tho cinnamon bear, the true black bear, the roach back, or silver tip. and the most terrible of all, ursus lerox (the grizzly); the most fore midable brute that wa the surface of the planet. Recent accounts from the Alaskan Alps indicate that America has even broken 1ts own record. Two miners, who had set out frol Yakutat to prospect the foothiils of Mount Elins, were crossing a_valley densely wooded with yellow cedar, fip and hemlock on the southeasterly side of the mountain, and had sat down @ fow minutes to rest on an immense log, when they heard a slight noise av one end of it, followed by a loud sniff. Glancing in that direction they saw an animal resembling a bear 1n _size and other respects, suve that the head seemed rather broader, and the colow, ! at adistance of a dozen yards, was tha of a silver gray fox or o brindled wolfs Three or four slugs, delivered in quiok succession from a Winchestor, in the hands of one of the miners, laid the animal lifeless in the thick, soft moss beside the huge log. Inall generic particulars the creas ture was then found to be a bear, but his pelage was made up of a thick un- dercoat of fur of aslate-gray color, out of which_grew a sccond coat of longer, coarser hair, Dboth black and white, ing the beast 1ts peculiar brighte gray and brindled tints. The skin seomed to be so fine that the men took it off, and on their return trip two days later carvied it to Yak- utat. It proved to be a considerable prize, for a trader offered them $50 fow it. In an adjoining Indian villa, saw o similar skin, for whic natives bad refused $100, which wag used as a hunter’s talisman, A chief had killed the animal. Thoe tra told the two miners that hides of this bear were only occassion= ally brought in by the native hunters, and that he had never heard of them elsewhere, Se 1l other furriers confirmed the statement that this species of the genus ursa is peculiar to the foot hills and vals leys of the St. Llias range. It is dige tinguished at Yakutat by the hunters and trappers of that region from the black and grizzly by the name of the Sty Elias bear, —— [OR RENT — Farnished front room with closet: neat, over parlor; 86,00, K7 North or.’ Burt 41 11§ TWENTY DOLLAR ‘MADE TO ORDER OVERCOATS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO WEAR.
