HUNTING BEARS.
If Yoa Meet a Wennilrd (irlaalr Give
lllm a Will Berth.
A wounded grizzly Is n mean thing
to light, nnd If there Is a tree handy It
Is n pretty good thing to climb If any
thing gets wrong with your shooting
Irons. I do not think a grizzly will
climb a tree, though brown and black
hears will. Any bear Is pretty sure to
fight If crippled, hut I know (here Is
this difference between a black or
brown bear and n grizzly: If you meet
a black bear face to fneo unexpectedly
give him five seconds anil he will be
out of night, but meet a grizzly Hie
same way and give blm five seconds
nnd you will be out of business.
About tho most fascinating way lo
hunt bear, which Is even belter than
night work, Is to trail blm right to his
homo anil meet lilin In broad daylight
on his own doorstop, as It were. It can
bo done, but everything must be Just
right. The ground might lie covered
with n light full of snow, iiml the snow
ought to be melting. Then the twigs
won't break, due has lo be very care
ful, and when bruin is found, which Is
generally at the foot of a large tree,
one must never forget that Instead of
one tin re may do two, anil, In that
case, one must bo nlilo lo shoot rast
and straight, and Implicit eonlldonco In
the gun bo carries Is about, llio best
ntock In trade u man can possess.
About tho surest placo lo shoot a bear
lo stop him (illicitly, to my way of
thinking, Is directly In the hniln. It Is
really not a hard shot, usually at short
range, and It puts blm out mighty
quick. Field ami Stream.

between this nature myth nnd thnt of

could, even In the densest fog, ascer

GAY FASHIONS OF THE PAST
Dandle of Past t'entnrlea Wanld
Make SoIiiiiioh I.ixik Sad.
Compared with llio gay apparel worn
by the dandles of the past ages the
youths or our time In the gayest of
Kity raiment make but a pour show.
The bishop of lOly lu the fourteenth
century had a change of raiment for
every tiny In the year. ,'J'ho Karl of
Northilinbcrlanil boasted no less than
sixty clolh of gold suits at this lime.
lu Qnei'ii Mary's lime the wardrobe
ti f n bishop mi i Ml have been Hie envy
of Solomon for the varlely mid costli
ness of lis contcntH, nnd even a simple
village priest wore "a vestment of
crimson sal In, n vestment of crimson
velvet, a Nlolo and Tautm set with
pearls, etc."
In the time or Chaucer Hie men wore
clollies as many colored ns Joseph's
coal, j that while one leg would be a
blaze of crimson Hie oilier would be
tricked out lu green, blue or yellow
without any regard tur harmony or
contrast,
Kvcn us Into as the middle of the
eighteenth century n dandy would
dress himself In n vivid green coat, u
waistcoat of scarlet, yellow breeches
nnd blue rdoclliu;s.
And the gentleman of n few years
Inter wore, among other vagaries, a
coat or tight green, Willi sleeves too
small for the firms nntl buttons too big
for the sleeves; a pair of flno Manches
ter breeches without money In their
pockets; clocked silk stockings; n club
of hair behind larger than tho head
which carried It; n hat not larger than
a sixpence.
It was u common thing lu tho early
part of the eighteenth century for n
man of fashion to spend several hours
dally lu tho hnnils of Ids vnlet. Among
the many operations which took up
this time was "the starching or the
beard anil the proper perfuming or the
garments, tho painting or the face and
anointing with oIIh, tinctures, essences
nnd pomatums." New York Ilornld.
THE FLAGEOLET.
It Una Alirnyii lleen the Love Plate
of the Apnche Indlnn.
The flageolet Is of peculiar Interest
to Americans, as from time Immemo
rial It has been the medium through
which the Indian youth courted their
sweethearts nt a distance when they
were so unfortunate ns to be unable
to gnln n personal nutllence.
The love or courting flute of the Apa
che In made of a round stick of cedar
about twenty-four Inches long, split
lengthwise and hollowed to form an air
chamber. A hole Is made on each side
of this diaphragm and a shallow air
passage cut from one bole to the other.
Above It a cap of wood Is placed for
the purpose of covering the upper hole
and the air channel. The lip Is made
of a thin sheet of lend nntl the whole
bound together with n slender thong.
In the tube part or body or tho Instru
ment nre placed six finger holes, a
condition Hint points unmiKlaknbly ' to
the iulluencoof contact with tho white
man.
The flageolet, as ordinarily under
stood, may be described an n whistle
bonded Utile. In the seventeenth cen
tury English Indies often played on It.
Sometimes two or three fhigoelot tubes
were constructetl with one bend for the
purpo.io of liilnidiicln;! union In har
mony. These were called tloublo or
triple flageolets, and a patent was tak
en out for this Instrument by ono
llalnbrldge.
Au old English diary of Ill(i7 contains
this quaint reference to tho double
flageolet: "To iMimblcby's, the plpc-
maker, there to advise about tho mak
ing of a flageolet to go low find soft,
nnd ho do show mo a way which to do,
nntl also n fashion of having two pipes
or tho same note fastened together, so
us I can play on one nnd then echo It
upon the oilier, which Is mighty pret
ty." American Inventor.
The Kmtir (if llluTKlns.
Many people who si;;n themselves
lllggins have sought to prove that their
surname Is derived from the name
borne by St. Ilyginus, tracing It
through (ho oltl English form "St.
Vi:yn." lint according to un authority
their inline Is really connected with
Ike," short for Isaac, or, rather, with
lliklte," the form In which "Ike" ap
peared In I.angland's time. Isaacs,
Isaacson, Hicks, Illggs, Ilickson and
lligson would thus bo different ver
sions of the nnmo name, while lllggins
Is merely modified by the addition of
Hie Anglo-Norman diminutive. Anoth

exactly, from llugonls, the genitive of
llio I.atln Hugo.
The Call of the Wild.
Most of our song birds have three
notes expressive of love, alarm and
fellowship. Tho latter call seems to
keep them lu touch with one another.
I might perhaps add to this list the
scream of distress which most birds
utter when caught by a cat or a hawk
the voice of uncontrolled terror and
pain which is nearly the same In all
species dissonant and piercing. The
other notes and calls are characteristic,
but this last Is the simple screech of
common terrified nature. John Bur
roughs iu Country Life In America.
Matrimonial Tendencies.
We always tend to run to extremes In
our social fashions, and It is therefore
not without somo Interest, ono may
even say anxiety, that we shall watch
the very decided tendency of society
women to marry men very much youn
ger than themselves. There may come
n day when an age limit may have to
be Instituted. London World.
