BRAVE MAINE WOMEN. THEY DO TACK A NOT HESITATE TO AT BEAH WITHOUT GUNS. Armed with a Pitchfork and an Ai( Two rental. Inhabitants of n Lumber Dis trict Slay nn Enormous Oreatare Which Had Killed Tito Bteeri. "I read about Mrs, Lewis killing the two backs In the Aillrondacks, and about Mrs. Becky Latimer's deer limiting ex Molts in Pennsylvania," aald ft New Yorker who has been hunting up in Maine, "and now I would like to rend about the way some women up in the pine forests have of showing their grit And skill when it comes to dealing with certain wild animals. "A family named McDonald lives way back in the wilderness of the Molus river. It consists of the husband, Rod erick McDonald, his wlfo and his sister, both young women. They hnvo a snug little farm in there, and keep a few cat tle, Their most valuable possession in that line was a yoko of steers. One day McDonald was obliged to go to one of the settlements several miles away, and his business was to keep him over night. Ills wife and sister were left alono to look after things during Ills absence. Just before dark n great bellowing was heard among the cattle in the barnyard. Tho sounds were of such an unusual character that the two women becanio satisfied that they were cries of terror, Mrs, MoDonald, armed with n pitchfork, and her Bister, carrying an ax, hnrrlod to the barnyard. "There they found an enormous bear, standing defiantly between the prostrate bodies of tho two steers, each of which ho had felled to the ground and killed. Tho other cattle were huddled in terror in a corner of the yard. The bear growled and snarled and showed his teeth as the women approached, but, In spite of his terrible front and threaten ing attitude, the sight of tho steers lying dead on the ground was more than the plucky young women could stand, and they rushed with desperate intent on the snarling bear, TIIEY KILLED TIUS HEAR. "Mrs. McDonald charged with her pitchfork and thrust Its sharp, long tines deep Into the bear's neck. The bear gave a howl of pain, and striking tho handle of the pitchfork a powerful blow with one forepaw he wrenched it from Mrs. McDonald's hands and sent It fly fng across tho barnyard. While the bear was doing that Miss McDonald pitched into him with the ax, and at tho first blow disabled one of his terrible forelegs. The bear turned on her and she rained blows thick and fast upon him as she backed slowly away. Mrs. McDonald ?;ulckly regained possession of the pitch ork and renewed her attack on the bear. "Between the attacks of the two de termined and plucky women the bear was so badly harassed that he made an effort to escape from the field, but the women pressed him too clossly. The battle was not of long duration, for the lusty blows of the axe In the girl's hands and the deep and patnfnl stabs inflicted by Mrs. MoDonald with her pitchfork soon had their effect on the Dear, big ncd tough as he was, and in Un minutes after the fight began he was stretched dead by the side of his victims, the two steers. The two nervy women had their clotting nearly stripped from thorn by the claws of the bear, but beyond a few scratcnes tbey were not injured. "They were not on the scene in time to cave the valusd Bteers, but their pluck in avenging the death of tho cattle aroused so much cnthnslasm and ad- miration at the settlement that a purso was raised among the lumbermen and hunters, with which another yoke of steers was bought and presented to Mrs, McDonald and her brave little sister. AJtOTIIEIl WOUAK'g BEAU. "In that same Molus river wilderness. but nearer the headwaters, lives during the summer and sometimes as late as the middle of November, if the weather is not too severe, a family named Baker, They are Boston people, but on account of the health of one of the family, who is benefited by the spruce and plno air of tho region, they spend m06t of tho year in their commodious cabin in the Molus woods. "Baker's wife is a pretty woman of about thirty, and Has learned to Dandle the rifle like an old woodsman, She in sisted on making one of a party that had formed to rout out and kill a big bear that had been located In a swamp a mile or so from the cabin, She was stationed by tho guide at a spot where In his Judg ment the bear would not be likely to come ont when the dogs got after him, as he had no faith In A woman's ability to stand and shoot at a bear as It bounced into sight out of a thicket, "Bis Judgment was right, for when the dogs got on the track of the bear Mrs. Baker heard them taklm? a course that would fetch bruin out of the swamp at a place where she would be unable to see it or get a shot. But she wasn't there to be fooled, and she started on a run for the spot where the bsar was evidently headed for, and she got there beforo any one else did. The bear, a tremendous big fellow, as black as ink, broke through the thick brush on theedge of the swamp. and was putting in his best licks across the opening for cover on the other side. But he never reached cover. Mrs. Baker put one rifle ball close behind his left shoulder and another through, bis loins. When the guide, Mr. Baker and another member of the party came tearing to the spot, Mrs, Baker was sitting on the carcass of the bear as cool as a oneunv ber, and with mock disgust exclaimed: " 'You're n nice lot of hunters. I de clare! If It hadn't been for me this bear wonld have been a mile away in the woods before you stupid things knew what had become of It!"' New York Sun. Differed with the Speaker.

Pittsburg Bulletin Au i:si)milre luflrialti'. I happened to bo In a Broadway opti cian's etore and saw a good looking, well dressed matron with a slip ot a girl and s email ooy, an or vnom wore spec tacles. The lady gave some directions abont a pair ot glasses, and when she had (nine I asked the optician whether defective vision Is hereditary. "Barely," said he. "That lady has f out children, and all of them most wear glasses. The father's eyea are sound. The mother and her children are afflict ed with astigmatism, n detect ot the vision which is almost as rare as any thing that afflicts the human eyes. It makes straight lines crooked and parallel lines fade into one. Special glasses must uo made and ground to suit each person. and sometimes the respective eyes, They cost tire dollars apiece too. So yon eee a large family ol children with astigma tism costs a good deal of money is glasses alone.

GRAND AND GORGEOUS, BUT EX CEEDINGLY UNHOMELIKE. Victoria's llace ralace In Yflndeor and How the Dreary Watte ol Stately ltonm After ltoom Impressed an Atnerloun Woman Who Visited It. The Scotch moors, as I saw them in Jnly, are already fading in my memory into a soft harmonious mingling of rus set and green, for the heather was not yet purplei but the sun caught the sproy of a mountain rivulet tumbling on its rooky way, or turnod more vivid the in tense green of those patches of verdure in the midst ol the brown of the heather, which we think seem so unnatural when artists who paint in the highlands trans fer them to canvas, llicso lilgn lights stay by one when tho hills and all tho ordinary features of that charming Scot land melt Into the dimmest or memories. One of these summer's high lights was a visit to tho queen's private apartments at Windsor. I don t know what red tape and long waiting and diplomatic refer ence it took to get the permit. I only know that the thoughtful American girl who remembered mo and made me one of the four who were to invade the eacred precincts conferred much pleasure on me, and even though we were all 60 disappointed In what we saw, it was hu man, was it not, to be delighted to go where few enter? Wo looked upon the herd of common ers who filed by us in tho wake of the cicerone, who overy hour takes throngs of sightseers through the main part of Windsor castle. Their nanus were red with Baedekeft, but we loftily ignored guidebooks for one day. There were but three nigh lights there to remember. One was General Gor don's Bible, beforo which I could have knelt, for it was tho well worn book of a soldier who took it into tho tented field as his companion. There is no mistaking n book that has been read, the very way It lies open, the invisible marks of reverential fingers, the color of tho paper which the open air produces. It disturbed me to see it In a hideous little glass casket all ornamentation and filigree. Very fine in its way, I suppose, and taking many pounds out of the hero's sister's pocket, who gave it to the aueen, but so inappropriate to tho dim pie life of that heroic soul, that martyr to the mistakes or his country. TWO MARBLE STATUES. The second high light in tho aucen's own domicile was the view from tho state drawing room windows of the avenue stretching miles and miles away. It was sunny and bright, for some far back English sovereign or his wise gar dener had, perhaps, evidently believed that with all bis possessions there was nothing quite equal to the God given one or sunshine, ana so there was a wide strip of the greenest turf In tho world on either side of the drive. There were no parterres, no fountains or statues, Blm ply this brood open spnee, where her majesty couici wain or drive ror miles, hidden by the forest trees on either side from the staring eyes of the public. The third high light in those drearily magnificent palace corridors was tho life are modeling or tbequoen and the prince consort, made since his death. The marble was scarcely pure enough to represent as perfect an ideal of wifely love as any sculptor is ever likely to give. The queen s face turned toward htr husband reveals the utmost devotion, the most tender entreaty, as she leans against him imploring him not to leave her. Whoever has not understood wifely adoration before must go away from this exaulslta exemplification of It with a new Knowledge or what us possibilities are. i ao not even snow lr it is good modeling, I only know that, intract able, cold and inexpressive as marble is supposed to ue, it epeaics in the race and attitude of the queen as no painting I remember to have seen. I wish I could feel such genuine ad miration of the prince, but he is so Eng- 11th, so handsome, so far away. Ills head is turned quite from his wife, and as she clings to him he coldly points to distant lands. NO TRACE Or HOME. There was nothing else In these gor geous rooms that stays by me. There seemed to mo miles of corridors, draw ing rooms, little and big; dining rooms and boudoirs, all glitter and glow. Tho usual gilt and ormolu, marblo and onyx, gloss of satin and rich stuffs, tho dazzle of luminous glass, pervaded the entire suites of apartments. We kept looking ror some room wnero thero might bo a trace ot homeliness. We lonucd to see a workbasket, even it her majesty doesn't do needlework, and a sitting room where thero might be an ordinary writing desk, a bookcase with some well thumbed volumes or a chair an American rocking chair even, in which a loving woman had rocked her babies to sleep. The floors were closed on the queen s and prince consort's bedroom, but in genious inquiries causea tne oia house keeper to give up their secrets'. Thero was no difference.

As men in early times f oncht hand to hand, the oldest specimens ot tho sword are snort: In fact, the sword Is probably hot an evolution ot the club, which at first made of hard wood was gradually enarpenea on one ana then on both sides, so as to mulct a more deadly wound Even today we find some savage races employing wooden weapons. Wood gave way to stone, which in turn was displaced by bronie, iron and finally steel. The sword increased in length as men became more civilized and showed a dis position to fight farther away from each other, which required more dexterity in tne use of tne weapon, borne specimens we have of swords of the Middle Ages are almost u not qnlte as long as the war riors wbo wielded them. During the Fifteenth centnry the science of fencing I form of was invented, when the sword In tho rapier reached the highest develonment. K&tA Field' point of wasmngton. t'oukij Srsupathr.

He accepted tho sanation RracefHlly, and In due limo tho young couple set oft for the theatre. Arriving, ueorgo left his companion at one bide of the lobby while he stepped up to the box offlco and purchased the tickets; then, tnrnlng abont, he looked toward the place where he had patted from tho young lady, and was surprised to eee half n dozen there. and ye Rods! la it possible? he could not tell which was his precious charge! Horo was n dilemma.
