To the native Indian, says the Kansas City Journal, the Sahnarah pronounced sah-w ah-ra h 1 is a valuable ami ;is-ful plant, sian liiifr in iiuieli the same r-la-tion to him as theeoeoanut palm to the South Sea inlanders. It supplies, him shelter, food, drink, and many other necessaries.. It is almost animal like in its construction, having a fi-auu wt.rk tir skeleton clothed with soft, tleshy matter which, in its tarn, is prt tcctetl by a toii'h epitiermis. 'l itis skin beiie,' watertight, preserves moisture in the interior, which would otherwise quickly evaiHirate under the rays id the torrid sun. leaving it to dry up ami tiie. So important is the service of this shin to the life of the plant that it is itself Mrotecietl from abrasion bv a for midable array of bristling thorns, which o-uard the surface at every liint. It is thus that even in the midst oi tiie most barren ami thirsty deserts, where there is sometimes no rainfall f'-r nths. the Sahnarah is aide to preserve for its own tw sutlicient wa ter to 1 ive iion. The heart of the plant, which con sists of a soft w hite pith, is sum muded with a jjvnuine skeleton, formed of bui.r. slender strips of soft though toiiLfh ami striiijry wood. standinr in a circle ami reaching from end to end of the shaft, each strip parallel to the others and all joinetl toret her at inter val - by cross tiber.s.

GRIZZLIES OF IDAHO. -- Tarit Ac-sr-f-rtif-nt with lien In thr Karly la Nat to "liilrst latrlt Olhrr. "SjH-aking of grizzly ln-ars." said Judge Henry I. Warren toil New York Sun man, "we didn't look on these an imals as particularly dangerous in Idaho when I was the l'nited Mates district attorney of that territory. If a man attacked fine at close quarters he sometimes got killed, but at a lit tle distance not much more attention was paid to ln-ars than if they had Wen so many hogs or cattle.

"niit'tif tnv hardest horseback trips led ine through a wild region where I often saw Wars. At one point the trail crossed an ojn-n valley, dotted with scattering big trees and clumps .f under)-! ush. and on the further si.ie wound up a steep mountain si. it through thick fiak an 1 pine wmnls. Coming down into that valley one tlay I saw. a little way otf on my ri-ht. live ln-ars. two very large ones and three smaller ones, constituting jios sibly a family party. They were run ning altout here and there nosing the ground, turningovt-rst.ines and knoc'; ing to pieces rotten logs, hunting for mice ami grubs. They apparently paid no at tent i. .ii to me as I rode past, tine hundred ami rifty yards away. My horse looked a little wild and fidg eted some at the sight of tliem. but I kept him in the trail without tiiiliculty. ""At another time a ln-ar gave me considerable of a scare. I had just crossed this same valley and was just In-ginning to ascend the wmnitsl heights Wyond it. I had dismounted, and was leading my horse up the steep hillside when a ln-ar broke out of the bushes a little In-hind me and came for ine furiously, showing her teeth and growling. I st.tl still, expecting to In- torn to pieces the next moment, from the determined way in which she came it was a she ln-ar but she stop ted just short of seizing me and turned to dash in the same way at niy horsc. and at that I dropjn-d the bridle and made up the trail as fast as I could go. My horse, instead of turning back to run for life in the clear ojn-n ground of the valley, when she charged at him. made a detour up the hill and came l-ack on the trail In-hind me. The ln-ar. looking mighty ugly with her frothing mouth ami bristling hair, kept up h.-r demonstrations, directing them princi pally at my horse. You know how a horse, when thoroughly frightened, will seek the i'iuiiunv and protection, of humanitv. and so. do all I could to drive him away, my Wast all the time kept right In-hind me with his nose at my shoulder, trembling with fear, but refusing to leave me. as tiie ln-ar kept making dashes at us out of the busle-s, sometimes from one side and sometimes from the other. "I didn't know then what I have learned from the habits ,(f the animals since, that tiie ln-ar was running a bluff on us and did not mean so much to harm us as to scare us away. She nn douhtcdlv had cubs colict-alcd close by in the bushes and resorted t-1 a common trick of the female War to drive awav intruders. Probably if 1 had stood my ground she would have tackled Hit- ami in that ease it would have ln-eii all up with me. She followed us one hun dred yards or so and then, seeming sat istied that she had got us fairly on the run. fell back into the bushes and w atched us nut of sight." TWO BIG POKER HANDS.

Commercial travelers, sometimes called "drummers." have acquired a reputation, perhaps undeserved, for largeness ttf statement. Thus we read in the Washington Star that a commer cial traveler of the more flashy ty-e had just finished a startling story, when the listener, a new acquaintance, remarked: "That remind me of one of Mun chausen's yarns." "Munchausen?" answered the drum mer: "w ho is lu-."" "Why. don't you know alni:t him? He is the most colossal example of mendacity that civilization has pri duced." A moment of silence followed, broken by the commercial traveler. "Lxcuse me." he said, "would you mintl telling me what house he travels for?" TT
