THRILLING INCIDENTS AND DARING
DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA.
A Wonderful Story Which Antoine, the
Famous Chamois Hunter, Tells of a
Personal Experience In the Alps.
Hurled Alive by u Hear.
"They tell wonderful tales of the
chamois and the chamois hunter in
Switzerland," said one who has been
in Switzerland frequently, and was a
good listener while there, ' 'and Antoine
Gimlich, a middle-aged hunter, agilo
and elastic in mind as well as body, I
imagine, bad in bis repertoire of re
miniscences of that sby and sure
footed antelope of the Alps more to
excite the interest at. I strain the
credulity of the listener than any other
Swiss mountaineer I ever heard give
himself liberty on the subject. Antoine
was a dweller in the Bernese Oberland,
and to hear him tell it, he had hunted
and was at home in every part of the
Alps. His favorite narrative, for it
was the first one he always told when
he had a listener, was of an adventure
he had once at the head of the great
Zmutt Glacier. He had been follow
ing a chamois for two days among the
perilous rocks and icy slopes in that
locality, and at last discovered it on
the apex of a high rock that rose fifty
feet above him. He himself was
standing at the foot of a steep slope of
glacial debris, where the footing was
insecure, and which terminated on
tto brink of a chasm hundreds of feet
deep. The instant he saw the chamois
above him he fired. The animal
tumbled from tho rock and fell at his
feet. It was not-Head, and it struggled
to rise. Antoine seized it by both
hind legs, and in doing so lost his
footing. He fell forward, still hold
ing the chamois by the legs, and iu
stautly both hunter and quarry were
sliding down the slope toward the
chasm.
"Antoine made desperate efforts to
thrust his feet into some crack or
crevice in the debris to save himself,
and even the poor chamois pawed
desperately with its forefeet to gain
a foothold and stay the journey to
death. The efforts were vaiu. Antoine
retained his hold on the chamois'legs,
in the desperate hope that impels the
diowning man to grasp at straws. As
they neared the brink o£ the chasm
the chamois, in its struggle, hud
turned upon its back. Antoine sud
denly felt the solid ground fall away
beneath him, and he knew he had
passed over the precipice's edge. But
instead of tumbling on down into the
abyss, he found himself suspended
from the cliff, hanging to the chamois'
legs. Antoine glanced upward. The
curved horns of the chamois had
plunged into a deep crevice near the
precipice's edge as hunter nud ante
lope shol over it. The strong horns
withstood the shock of the sudden
cessation of motion, and there Antoine
hung.
"Antoine at once uttered n fervent
prayer of thanks for 'being thus un
expectedly saved from the plunge, but
when he had time to collect himself
he changed his mind. He had noth
ing to be thankful for, he thought, for
at best he could not see how the sit
uation was anything more than a re
prieve. It was impossible for him to
draw himself back to the slope by
moans of the chamois; the chances of
his being discovered nud rescued were
as one in a thousaud, and even with
that chance in his favor, discovery
must come quickly if all, to save him,
for his strength could not long sustain
him suspended by tho antelope's legs
in midair. It seemed an hour that
he hangover that waiting nhyss, suf
fering torture in mind and body, and
he felt that his strength could last
but a few minutes more, when he
heard a shout, and then another. He
tried to answer the shouts, hut only
hoarse gasps came from his throat. An
age seemed to pass. Then he heard the
sound of men making their way down
the slope. The sounds ca me nearer
then voices. Presently tho form of
two hunters filled the space within
the range of his vision, on the edge
of the precipice above him. Words of
cheer came front them. Antoine
grasped the antelope's legs firmly
with all his remaining strength. He
felt himself gradually risiug toward
the slope. He closed his eyes; his
heart stood still; he scarcely breathed.
By and by strong bauds seized btm.
He knew no more until ho found con
sciousness in a place of safety. His
rescuers were with liitn, and ot course
no language could tell them what was
in his heart.
"Everybody knows Antoine in the
Bernese Oberland. I never found any
one who knew the two hunters who
rescued him thnt day the head of
the great Zmutt Glacier."—New York
Sun.
A Place.
In the early settlement of California
grizzly bears were numerous and
troublesome, but few men ever had a
more singular experience witlr a griz
zly boar than Paul Sweet, who kept a
tannery near Santa Cruz. The story
is told by Mrs. Dall iu "My First
Holiday."
Mr. Sweet was one day walking
alone in the woods, wheu he came
suddenly upon a grizzly bear and her
two cubs. He was quite unarmed,
and before he had time % to consider
any plan of action the bear was upon
him. She struck him down, but he
kept his presence of mind nnd lay per
fectly quiet.
The grizzly stood over him fpr a
miirute or more, then seized him by
the waistband aud began dragging
him along. He did not resist, and
she dragged him for a dozen rods to a
little sandy hollow, where Bhe dropped
him and began digging a hole in the
sand. Into this hole she rooted the
man, and then nosed and pawed thp
sand over him until he waß buried
from sight, Tlie ' prudent animal not
being hungry at the moment, was
making a cache of her prey.
Mr. Sweet's heart lightened as he
realized the brute's intentions, and he
began to hope that he might escape.
He waited a few minutes after the
bear had covered him in, and then
thinking that she had retired from the
scene, he began to work himself free
very cautiously. The grizzly was on
the watch, however, and at the first
movement of her prey rushed to the
spot, and with two or three strokes
of her paw snugly tucked him in
again.
Mr. Sweet instantly became motion
less again, and allowed himself to be
reburied in the sand. Luckily his
hat had slipped over his face, so that
the sand did not fill his nose and eyes,
and by raising his head a little he "was
able to throw off the sand sufficiently
to breathe.
He was more wary next time, and
lay still for an hour or two, until he
felt pretty sure that the grizzly had
retired from the spot. Very cautiously
then ho worked himself freo from the
sand and crept away.
Owl Attacks Cyclist.
A decidedly "racy" encounter be
tween a bicyclist and an owl took place
a few nights ago on the road from Cov
ington to Pavilion, n few miles south
east of Buffalo, N. Y. John Martin
was wheeling home to the former place
and was just going at a good pace down
Sprague Hill when something struck
him on the back of the head with such
forco that it nearly upset him. The
wheelman dismounted, but only in
time to see a big bird fly up into a tree
by the side of the road. It was too
dark to make the creature out and the
wheelman set out again.
Again the bird swooped down on
him, but again flew off before Martin
could alight and defend himself. A
third attack was made in about the
same fashion. The bird was
to underke active operations when the
rider was on the ground, but plainly
reasoned that he was not dangerous
when in motion on the wheel.
Things might have gone on in thi
way all the way home and the rider
might have been badly hurt had he not
been too quick at last for the enemy.
When the creature swooped down
again Martin sprang from the wheel in
time to get hold of a stone, which he
threw at the bird with such good aim
that it brought it down before it could
reach a tree. The owl was a largeone
of the "hoot" species. It was stunned.
Martin brought it home and now has
it on exhibition as evidence that his
story was not n matter of imagination.
He was not much hurt by the attacks,
though they were determined ones and
directed at his head.
Two Brave Men.
Smith, a gunner in the service of
the East India Company, was known
as "the sweep," a derisive name given
to mark soma eccentricity, for the
man was a character. Ho had charge
of the boats belonging to the military
station, and one day wrote the brigade
major, asking, "When shall I have
the bote ready?" The major replied,
"Havo the boat ready at such an
hour."
When the major wont down to the
rivertvith a party of ladies, he asked
Smith how he spelled "boat." Un
abashed toy the presence of the ladies,
Smith, without a symptom of nervous
ness, answered the officer, "3ome
people spells it b-o-a-t, but I spells it
b-o-t-e."
But Smith, notwithstanding his
mocking nickname, was not n maa to
bs laughed at. One day the roof of
the building which held the ammuni
tion caught fire. There was a panic;
even the best disciplined soldiers lost
their heads. But "the sweep"
mounted the roof, pulled off the
thatch, poured buckets of water over
the flames, and saved the magazine.
It was as plucky a thing as it was pos
sible for u man to do; for thore was
powder enough in the building to
wreck the station.
There is no telling what "a singed
cat" will do. The present writer
know a Gloucester boy, so weak in
body and so effeminate in disposition
that his brothers, who were seamen,
used to speak of him as our "poor
little Davie." At the beginning of
the Civil War Davie enlisted in tho
navy, and being a high-school gradu
ate, was made a petty officer.
One day a fire broke out on the ves
sel near the magnzine. Davie, seeing
that tho men and officers hesitated to
take the pipe of the hose down into
the smoky between-deeks, snatched it,
jumped down and held it against-tho
tire until the water had quenched the
flames. Then ho fell down, senseless,
overcome by the heat and the smoke.
Davie was again promoted, and had
to listen to the commander's praise ut
tered from the quartsr-deck; tjie sail
ors and officers standing at attention,
Davie almost fainted again.
The Greatest Gains.
A rainfall of 31.76 inches in twenty
three hours is reported to have oc
curred last December at Nedunkeni,
in the northern province of Ceylou,
where the total fall for 1897 was 121.81
inches, although the average yearly
rain is but 64.70. Other great rain
falls on record are 31.17 inches in
twenty-two hours at Joyense, France;
thirty inches in twenty-six hours at
Genoa; thirty-three inches in twenty
six hours at Gibraltar; tweuty-foui
inches in one night near Borqbay, and
thirty inches, on each of five succes
sive days on the Ivhasia hill, India.
The greatest annual fall is 600 inches,
the record of the Khasia hills.
Plymouth's Water Supply.
Plymouth, England, has outgrown
at last the water supply provided for
the town by Sir Fraucis Drake 300
years ago. The old sea rover bdllt a
teat, or open viaduct, twenty miles
long, to bring water from the hills of
Dartmoor to the town. A 'argereser
voir is to be built.
AGRICULTURAL -TOPICS
\
Sooty Fungus on Apple*.
To prevent the sooty fungus on ap
ples, there is no question that bordeaux
applied at intervals of about two weeks
from the middle of June until the mid
dle of August will prove effectual.
Under favorable conditions this fun
gus attacks most varieties of apples
and pears, but on all it may be con
trolled by the use of bordeaux mix
ture.
Rape For Poultry.
Green foods for poultry are advised
and among them rape. For a supply ot
green food for summer use, rapeshoulc
be sown at any time up to the middle
of July. Prepare the ground as for
root crops and sow the seed broadcast
or in drills thirty inches apart. Cover
about the same as turnip seed and cul
tivate until it gets a fair start. It will
grow rapidly and may be cut and fed
to fowl, although if sown in rows by
the drill the poultry may be turned
into the patch once or twice a week.
One or two pounds of seed will sow an
acre, drilled in, and will supply green
food for a large flock of fowls until
late in the fall.
The Sweet Pea.
A beautiful flower is the sweet pea.
Its exquisite fragrance has made it a
favorite, while its beauty and grace
are of the highest kind. Cultivation
has increased it in size, and it has
also developed its variety in color. At
the same time, experienced florists
have discovered short methods of giv
ing it various tints, so that it is almost
impossible for a person not a profes
sional to determine whether a bunch
of these lovely blossoms has taken its
oolor from nature or from the chemist's
dish. The difficulty is complicated
by the fact that nature and art can
each give at least a dozen different
dyes.—New York Mail and Express.
Sheep For Clearing Land.
Wherever woodland is cleared a flock
of sheep is extremely valuable to keep
the cleared soil from being overgrown
with the bushes, weeds and shrubs
jvhicli usually come up in following
years. It is desirable to get the
sleared laud in grass as soon as possi
ble. When it is once seeded down it
may be pastured with sheep all through
the summer, not only without injur
ing the grass, but positively benefit
ing it, as the sheep will devote most
of their time to trimming down tho
bushes aud eating the leaves which
shade the land. To make more
thorough destruction of the shrubbery,
n excess of sheep should be put in
the cleared lot, and these must be fed
some grain, so as to make their browse
diet digest better. —American Culti
vator.
Caring For Tulips.
A correspondent of the Practical
Farmer tells how she manages her tu
lip bed. For several years she took
ap the bulbs annually, but found it
both laborious and rather unsatisfac
tory. Finally she planted her bulbs
in a long bed.ayard wide,setting them
five inches apart each way. When the
tulips faded and the foliage began to
die down, instead of lifting tho bulbs
she left them in their places and set
in the center of each square, formed
by the bulbs, an aster plant, started
in a cold framo. In cultivating the
soil during the summer, care was
taken not to go deep enough to injure
ike tulip bulbs. After frost killed the
rsters she pulled them up and filled
the holes with fine manure from
the barnyard. The uext spring her
tulips were larger and handsomer than
ever before.
Feeding Untlireslied Oats.
Oat straw, it is conceded, has a
value as food too great to permit of
its use as bedding. If the practice of
feeding oats untkreslied was more
general a still greater snving would
result. Cut the crop several nays be
fore the grain ripens, which will leave
the straw in better condition, and save
a loss of tho grain from the heads in
handling. If cut with a mower they
should be cut greener than when put
up in bundles. The oats may l.ekept
in a stack out of doors if properly pro
tected, but it is best to put them up
in bundles and stack them on end in
the barn. In feeding, the coarse butt
ends of the stalks should be cut off
and used for bedding, the rest of the
stalk being run through a cutter.
Both horses aud cattle seem to relish
untkreslied oats, aud fed in this way
the tendency, on the part of horses, to
bolt the grain is overcome and the
thorough mastication of both grain
and straw will keep tho animals in
good condition.
Taint. In Milk.
Many users of ensilage and certain
root crops complain of the taints of
these foods absorbed by the milk. As
a rule, there is nothing in the com
plaint so far as ensilage is concerned
if the precaution is taken to feed only
sweet ensilage. Decayed ensilage is,
not only worthless as a food, but wilt
taint the milk nud often produce ir
regularities in the cow. Examination
of the structure of a cow's digestive
organs aud close observation of the
action of foods in the stomach, dis
close the fact that after eatiug any
thing likely to taint the milk it is au
hour or more before the effect of such
foods would be noticed in the milk
even as closely connected as are stom
ach aud milK ducts. On the othei
hand, the danger of taint is likely to
remain for many hours, usually -bout
ten, after the food is eaten. A simple
way, therefore, to avoid all dangei
from possible taints is to give such
foods as roots so that at least tea
hours will elapse after feeding before
milking is done. For this reason the
feeding of turnips, carrots or any othei
foods likely to taint the milk is done
at night after milking.—Atlanta (Ga.)

Black lloses.
Evidently desirous of ectipsing the
achievements of the producers of
"green carnations" nud similar floral
monstrosities, a certain Russian bot
anist has been devoting himself to the
cultivation of black roses. After hav
ing applied himself to this uncanny
object for a considerable period with
a patience worthy of n better cause,
he is reported to have achieved suc
cess, and now threatens to come to
London and exhibit the results of his
misdirected experiments. When he
arrives he will, no doubt, be invited
to explain the purposes for which he
considers that his sable blossoms
should be utilized. Since he can
hardly anticipate that they will be
employed for table decoration or for
personal adornment, it can only be
supposed that he intends to recom
mend them for use at funerals. It is
happily improbable, however, that I
English horticulturists will bo aux- I
ions to disfigure their gardens by
cultivating them, even for that pur
pose. Nor is it at ail likely that any
political or other party will be in
duced to adopt them as n badge, or
that "Black Rose Day" will ever take
its place among tho floral festivals of
the calendar.—London World.
A Tale of the Birches.
Lord Lytton, when viceroy of
India, was seated one day at dinner
next to a lady whose name was Birch,
and who, though very good looking,
was not over-intelligent. Said she to
his excellency: "Are you acquainted
with any of the Birchen?" "Oh, yes,"
replied Lord Lytton, "I knew several
of them most intimately while at
Eton—indeed, more intimately than
I cared to." "My lord," replied the
lady, "yon forget that the Birches are
relatives of mine." "And they cut
me," said the viceroy; "but," aud he
smiled his worted smile, "I have
never felt more inclined to kiss the
rod than I do now:" Sad to say,
Mrs. Birch did not see the point, and
told her husband his excellency had
insulted her.—Snu Francisco Argo

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Sj'rup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fat't will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction

the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
