Uncle Bom Grinds Bank Notes nnd Greenbacks Into Palp. "Every working day in the year Un cle Sam destroys a million dollars; de liberately tears up and grinds to pulp one million dollars' worth of paper money—genuine banknotes and green backs," writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies' Home Journal. "A million dol lars in one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one-hundred and one-thousand dollai notes are daily punched full of holes, cut into halves and thrown into a ma chine that rapidly reduces them to a mass of mushy substance. "Whenever a piece of pnper money becomes soiled or torn it may be pre sented to the United States treasury and redeemed. Sooner or later every note that circulates among the people becomes unfit for further service, for It is bound to become dirty or mutilated by constant handling, and the United States government stands ready to give the holder of sucli a new note in exchange for It; or, In other words, the government will redeem it. "The majority of the clerks employ ed In this Important department of the government are women, many of whom are the most expert money-countcre and counterfeit detecters In the world. In fact, only experts can proprely per or.l.VDS UP A MIT-LION A DAT. form the work that Is required; for not only must the soiled and mutilated j money be accurately and rapidly eount | ed, but all counterfeit notes must be 1 detected and thrown out. When we consider that some counterfeiters can so cleverly Imitate genuine money that their spurious notes will circulate j through the country without detection, and are not discovered until they are finally turned Into the treasury, some 1 idea of the proficiency of these experts can be gained, especially when we bear In mind that these notes are often so worn that the Imprint on them can scarcely be deciphered. It not infre quently happens that these bad notes are detected simply by the feel of ! them, which, In some eases, Is the only way of discovering the fraud; for while a counterfeiter may occasionally suc ceed ID so perfectly imitating the de sign of a note as to mislead even an ex pert, it Is next to Impossible for him to counterfeit the paper used by the gov- I eminent."

Four Rlurk Kcars Tackle n Hunter, Rut lie Wins the Flfglit—A Woman's Trying Experience With a Mad Cow in a Min £* nesota Farmyard—Chivalry in ltuttl<>. Wilbur Jarrett, of Campbell's Creek, was attacked by four bears last Thurs day within eight miles of Charleston, anil narrowly escaped with his life. With a party of Campbell's Creek meu he was camping out on the Pond fork of Blue creek, near the headwaters of Bell creek. Mr. .Tavrett was out with his double-barreled shotgun look ing for squirrels not far from the camp when the bears attacked him. He had killed a squirrel which lodged in the limbs of a hickory tree, and was looking for it when suddenly he found himself confronted by a huge black bear. It was an old she bear, with a couple of cubs, and not far be hind them was the old male. Mr. Jarret gasped for breath and his hair stood up on end as the bear stood up before him and struck his head with her right forepaw. He dodged the blow the best he could, but the big black paw struck hituou the head, scratched his forehead slightly and tore a long hole in the felt liat he wa3 wearing. With the other paw she struck him in the chest. Mr. Jarrett put out his hand and shoved the bear a few feet, far enough to raise his gun, which grazed her nose as it went off, and the woods echoed with the howl of rage and pain which she set tip. Both barrels were now empty, and Mr. Jarrett sought safety in a small bush near at hand. He quickly load ed up both barrels again with shot, but had only time to get the cap on one of them when the bear made an other attack upon him. This time he aimed right in front of the shoulder and fired. The bear dropped to the ground dead and a cub jumped at him. He knocked it down with the butt of his gun, crippling it and ran. The old male started in pursuit, and for a time there was n more exciting race through the woods than was ever seen at any driving park. Mr. Jarrett jumped a big log and sped on, but when the old bear reached the log he Btopped. Itunning like a frightened deer, with his hat all torn, and bleeding slightly at the head, Mr. Jarrett final ly came upon the other members of the party, who went back with him and dispatched the crippled cub. The old male and the other cub bad disap peared. The next day the men broke camp and returned to civilization. They don't care to' hunt bear with shotguns any more, and will look for squirrels nearer home. The old bear when dressed weighed 165 pounds and the cub fifty.—Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette. A Woman Treed by a Had Cow. Oil Thursday morning of lust week Mrs. Geo. Hodge, of Medo, in the barnyard on what is known as the Ketzeback farm, for two long hours held on to the slender limbs of a hunch of willow trees, while a cow, frothing at the mouth, ranged backward and forward, charging iuto the trees until I the constant hunting removed the bark, and but for its tailing strength, I would have perhaps succeeded in fell ; iug the tree. For a few days previous Mr. Hodge had noticed that one of his best cows was sick, and had left it in the yard where it might receive proper care. Mr. Hodge being away, his wife thought she would go out aud see the animal, which was lying down iu the yard, but she had hardly ventured near when the animal, with all the appearances of a mad dog, (gave her chase. A bunch of willow trees at one side of the yard | was her only refuge, and she hurriedly took advantage of the same, holding on to the brauches above, out of the ani j mal's reach, until her arms ached. It was a terrible position to be in, and knowing that death would surely re : suit should she fall within the ani mal's reach she was nerved to hold on | until help should arrive. Mr. Whor tor, the Alma City butcher, was the j first person to put in an appearance, \ hilt lie did not deem it advisable to in ] terfere without being properly armed, and in order to secure a gun was com : pelled to go about two miles. On his | return the animal was pretty well used lup from its continual attack upon the | trees, and was easily put to death, I much to the relief of Mrs. Hodge, who i was anything but in her I position in the trees.—Mapleton | (Mihu.) Enterprise. Chivalry on the Battlefield. | A beautiful story of chivalry is told iu the Chicago Times-Herald: | A mau who had been a private in an Illinois cavalry regiment told me otiee of nil incident of the battle of Jonesboro. He and his comrades had been dismounted in the edge of thick woods, nnd dismounted cavalry are the hardest of troops to rout. In front of them was an open cornfield, a quarter of a mile wide, with woods upon its farther side, lteiuforced by a half-dozen companions of infantry, possibly 1500 Federals lay perdu. In blunder, a company of Confederates, not more than ninety men all told, was ordered to attack. With a yell the handful swept out of the opposite woods nnd charged across the field. At a distance of 100 yards a single volley disposed of them. Thdse that were left on their feet wheeled and scampered back to their position. One, however, remained. He was the captain iu command aud had been far in advance of his men. When he found himself deserted he stopped and folded his arms. Sixty yards away, alone in the field, the summer sun pouring down upon the silver gray of his uniform, he stared stanch ly into the eyes of 1500 foemen. He was only a .beardless boy, and the newness of bis clothing showed that 1 he was but a few days from home. All down the loug line of Federals ran the cry: "Don't shoot him! Don't shoot him!" He gave the military salute and marched steadily back to his men. Not a gun was tired. Wheeled Over Kattleaiiitkoff. Amos 8. Bennett, rode his wheel into a rattlesnake's playground in Routt County, Col rado. The snakes lie on the bare, rocky ground for hundreds of yards around. Some wriggled alone, others lay in writhing, squirming piles. It was a hot day, and they were enjoying them selves in the tierce sun. Bennett picked his way among the deadly creatures, his wheel sometimes passing within a few inches of them. When they grew very thick and angry he stood up on the step and saddle. At one point a photographer who accompanied Ben nett succeeded in making a picture of him and the snakes. Most wheelmen in Boutt County, Colorado, wear high boots when riding about, on account of the rattlesnakes which infest certain districts of that country. On one occasion Bennett, who had been in the habit of riding his wheel about the country, left it standing near Fortification rock, a headquarters for rattlers of all sizes and degroes. Re turning, he found his bicycle alive with the writhing creatures. They had wound themselves about the seat, and had actually tied the front and rear wheels so that it was impossible to move the bicycle. The owner went home and got his camera and made a picture of the snakes crawling over his wheel. Then, after a fierce battle, ho killed the snakes. —Chicago Chronicle. Little fSIrl Saved by Her Dog. One day recently Ranchman Sam Dodge, who lives near Cauey, Kan., in the Osage country, went to Vinita on busiuess, and shortly after he had gone Bessie, his tive-year-old daugh- ; ter, wandered away from home in an attempt to follow him. Mrs. Dodge discovered her absence about two hours after her departure. She made a thorough search of the premises, and, failing to find the child, notified the neighbors of her disappearance. Tney turned out in force, and scoured the prairies all that day and all that night, and all the next day, searchiug for the little wauderer. At last an Indian came upon her lying fast asleep, just south of Post Oak Creek, in an old road known as the "Whisky Trail." Across her body I stood a Newfoundland dog, which had always beeh her companion about the I ranch. The dog was torn and bleed- j ing, and near his feet lay the dead ■ bodies of two wolves. Although her cheeks were stained with tears and covered with dust, Bessie was un harmed. She and her protector were taken back to her home, a distance of twelve miles from where they were found, where the dog died of his wounds that night. He was given a decent burial, and Sam Dodge has ordered a marble monument, which will be placed at the head of the faith ful animal's grave.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. A ISi-ftkcinan'rt Thrilling ICsM-apr. Oue of the most thrilling escapes from death ocourred recently at Yurd ley, Penn. George Moore, a brakeniau on the Philadelphia andjKeading road, was out flagging his train near Yard ley station. His train left him, and he started to walk over the high trestle work which extends from the station to the Jersey shore. He had gone about half way over when he suddenly looked up and to his horror saw a fast express train bearing down upon him; so close was the truiu that he hail no time to cross over to thj opposite track. With an unearthly cry, which was heard by the bridge workmen, he jumped from the trestle tothegvound, a distance of fifty feet. The train was stopped, and the employes made haste to give any assistance that might lie needed. To their surprise Moore got up and grasping his lantern, whicli he took with him in his leap, started to catch the train. Moore said ho did not feel any the worse for his escape from sure death, except that his head felt a little dizzy, Moore's home is in Trenton. Fight With a Grizzly. James Longsiey and Louis Miller, while prospecting about thirty miles from Itossland, British Columbia, met a big grizzly bear. Longsley's pick was on his back and his rifle was any thing but handy. The grizzly rushed at him open-mouthed. Twice the hunter fired straight into the heart of the bear without visible effect and he would have gone down in the embrace had not Miller rushed up the cnnyou and distracted the bear's attention long enough for Longsiey to roll off the narrow path out of range. It took two more bullets from Miller's rifle to kill the furious beast. Longsiey and Miller, while skinning the slain bear, were attacked in the rear by two half grown cubs, and it took several shots to dispatch them. Toad Arts at* a Barometer. One of the farmers in Sandford, N. Y'., is the owner of a novel barometer. He declares it gives tho weather fore casts more accurately than the Gov ernment Weather Bureau people. It is an original invention, and is composed of a large bottle filled with water, in which a live toad has been placed. Inside the bottle is a small ladder 011 which the toad can climb. When wet weather is in prospect the toad climbs to the top of the ladder and remains there until the weather changes to fair, then he descends to the bottom of the jar.—New York Press.

Wet a flannel cloth and rub it over a piece of soap, then dip the cloth into the stove polish and rub over tho stove; finish with a dry cloth or brush. It is said tho polish will last much longer than if it is used without the soap. Instead of throwing away the wick of a lamp that has got too short, fasten it to the new wick, which theu can be made to do longer service. Aftei lamps aro tilled aud wicks trimmed turn them down, thus preventing the oil from coming over the outside and causing the uuplcasaut odor of oil in the room. A tablespoonful of stewed tomatoes left from dinner will add to the roasl beef gravy the next day; a single raw tomato may bo peeled and cut into a garniture lor the cold meat. A hall' cup of peas may bo added to the breakfast omelet. Water in which vegetables have been boilen should be i saved for soups. All cold mashed potatoes should be saved for era quettes. The best pie plates are those of tin with straight sides about an inch high, so there is no danger of the contents of the pie running over. Porcelain lined pie plates do not bake so well oc the bottom as those of tin. The old fashioned pie plate of yellow stone ware is a mistake. It is responsible for the sodden under crusts of old-time pies. It can be successfully used only in brick oven 9, where the heat is at the bottom and there is danger ol burning the under crust when a tin pie plate is used.

Juneau, of Dodge City, Ivan., who, ivltli his brother, Joseph Juneau, found ed the town of Juneau, Alaska, now counted as the leading citizen of the famous territory, has an interesting itory to tell of the dark side of life on the Upper Yukon. Mr. Juneau spent loveral years in Alaska, and helped lay out the streets of the town which now bears his name. In speaking of his early experience In Alaska, Mr. Juneau said: "I helped lay out tho town In ISSI, and have been there several times since. We first named the place Har : risburg, but tho people changed the ' name after a year or two. I have found the country full of disappointments, and I don't want to paint the picture too bright. Enough has not been said of the dark side. "It is no place for men of weak con stitution. The hardships to be encoun tered require the strongest hearts and sinews, as well. "I have seen nothing published of j the fact that a large portion of the 1 i country is covered with a moss and vine which contains sharp thorns, like porcupine quills, with saw edges. These will penetrate leather boots, and when once In the flesh nothing but a knife will remove them. These are worse than the mosquito pest. "Along the sea coast Alaska presents a grand and picturesque view for miles in extent, from an ocean steam er. It is a good Idea to get acquainted with Alaska and enjoy its scenery. It Is a grand country to visit, and its scenery surpasses any mountain scen ery in the world. Travel on water can be provided for in comfort, and be en- Joyed without great risk or danger. "Alaska Is a country on edge. It is so mountainous. Basins aro mainly filled with Ice. The weather is always hard in great extremes. When there Is no ice there Is moss and devil's club, the latter a vine that winds about ev erything it can clutch. Persons walk ing become entwined in a network of moss and devil's club, and passage is extremely difficult and 'torturous,' as well as tortuous."—Detroit Free Prose.
