Jackson, of Helena, Mont.; • fBOently had a frightful experience in the Thunder Mountains, where he got lost while grouse hunting. Just as dusk was coming on a long, deep howl arose in the woods to his right and echoed with fearful strains through the surrounding hills. He roused himself as he recognized the crj of the gray timber wolf. The echo had scarce died away, when another howl came in an­ swer. ujitjl the forest on aii sides re- sotpded with the dismal cry. Then a new fear presented itself. The wolves were evidently on his trail. Suppose they should attack him in numbers! His only means of defense was a shot- glln and a few shells of bird-shot. ; His first thought was to climb a tree and bid defiance to the beasts. Near the top of the hill, about in the center of the open which he was in, he espied A lone pine treo, a giant of its kind, whose expansive boughs seemed to in­ vite him to their sweet embrace. Spurred on by the blood-curdling howls that now formed a chorus of dismal, Jangling, discordant wails, Mr, Jackson ran with might and main towards the tree. It was a race up the hill, and he sank down at the roots of the giant pine in an exhausted state. He soon re­ covered his breath and tried tc climb the tree. Horror of horrors! The nearest branch was twenty feet above the ground, and the base. of the trunk was fully* four feet in diameter. He could not scale its smooth bark, and alter several ineffectual attempts sank back upon the ground in despair. Dui ilit! IiuwIb iigiHii aroused him from his lethargy. They were so loud now that he knew the wolves were near at hand. Then the thought struck him to build a lire. He knew this would keep the beasts at bay, and accordingly set about the task. Match after match he struck, but the -wind blew them oat as last as lighted. Finally, with some dry grass, & tiny flame was communicated and a welcome blaze sprang up. Fanned by the wind it soon enveloped the pile of fagots and illuminated the scene for yards around. And it was just in time, for around the circle of light cast by the flames Mr. Jackson saw the gaunt and hungry forms of at least a dozen wolves--great, big gray beasts with flashing eyes and snapping jaws. Their howling ceased lor a moment, but soon another pack arrived and took to fighting with the first. It was dog eat dog. The battle raged for a few moments, the beasts snapping and snarling at each other, jumping over their fellows, and all the lime howling like a set of demons. Mr. Jackson could see the fight as the wolves encircled within the circle of light, and his blood turned cold at the thought of how he would fare before those terrible jaws. But the battle soon ceased, and then all the wolves, thirty or forty all told, began prowling about the fire light, eyeing Mr. Jackson with their flaming orbs, which looked like balls of fire. Mr. Jackson busied himself watching the wolves and feeding the fire, which, nntil now, had not lacked fuel. But O! horror! At about two o'clock in the morning, the darkest port of the night 1m saw that the fire was growing low and that the emboldened wolves were pressing closer and closer in upon him as the circles of light grew smaller. He had no more wood. Every twig and oone within reach had been heaped upon the fire. Now there was almost nothing but embers left, and he could see the hun­ gry wolves glaring at him not six yards away. With gun in hand, he stood to * fight and sell his life dearly as Boon as they attacked him. His heart beat like a sledgehammer as he watched the nearest wolf, expecting every moment that the huge, gray monster would spring at him. ' Just as ho thought the beast was about to make the leap a column of flame shot suddenly up into the air, sending its sparks twenty feet high and scattering the howling wolves. They scampered back in evident terror. A pitch-soaked root near the base of the tree had ignited from the fire, and soon the monster trunk, which was coated with resin on that side, was in a blaze. "Saved! saved!" thought Jackson, as he noted the welcome blaze and saw the cowardly wolves shrink away from the fire. The imperiled man thanked Providence for the timely interference, and felt now for the first time absolutely secure as he stood in the light of the blazing tree. Soon daylight appeared, the wolveB slunk back to their dens, sod just as the sky was reddening with the dawn the last pack of the foiled monsters disappeared over the hill. "When the sun rose Mr. Jackson re­ freshed himself at a neighboring spring and started for camp. He walked till about noon, when he met a party sent out to search for him and was safely £-, to """P- 1 • ' v G r a v e s I n A l g i e r s . Arab women patronize the convey­ ances, and on Friday they go in crowds to Belcour, where there is a cemetery and a neat little khouba frequented by the fair sex only on that day, writes F. A. Bridgmaa, in HarperMagazine. A column in tho center of the court sup­ ports trellises of grape-vine. Tomb- atones of macble and slate are numer­ ous in the court as well as out in the oemetery. At the head of each tomb is a slab of marble with one or two round holes in which flower-pots are set, or dtps placed there that the birds may drink from them; the natives believe that these birds afterwards fly to Heaven with. a greeting from the soul repoaiug " beneath. \ The koeper of this khouba was old and blind; he passed his time in sweep­ ing the carpets and matting, then rest­ ing and singing to himself. He would use his handkerchief to dust the sacred tomb, wash it, and then dry it in the sun, holding it until it was dry. To satisfy my curiosity I sent a child to translate for me and ask if he was hoppy or what he could desire. He shook his head: "No, I want nothing; I am never ennuye, and I am quite happy." One day I witnessed here the burial of a child. The young boy was laid in the grave wrapped in a yard or two of White cotton; a smaller hole was dug at the bottom of the grave, and served as a coffin, being covered with flat slabs of atone to prevent the earth from falling directly on the body. Twenty or thirty men stood round in silence, the earth was hastily replaced and temporary stones were placed at the head and feet; the cushions and pieces of embroidery in which the body lay on the donkey Which bore it to the final resting-place Were put back on the animal, and the animal, and the procession moved silently away. The women and girls always come afterwards to weep on the grave and place flowers; and especially Branches of myrtle. ' They often spend the greater part of three days roofed s new grave, sitting on matting and car­ pets. , - ;• ' •• S • Lincoln's Great Heart* Will the world ever know what depth of tenderness there was in the heart of Abraham Lincoln? An anecdote, pub­ lished for the first time by the Youth's Companion, brings out one more in­ stance in which his sympathies, awakened by a little child, nobly con­ trolled his action. In one of the first skirmishes of the civil war a young Union soldier was so severely wounded in the leg that the limb had to be am­ putated. On leaving the hospital the young soldier, by the aid of influential gentlemen, obtained a position as a gov­ ernment weigher of hay and grain. Not long after he had entered upon his du­ ties his superior officer said to him: "See here, Mr. , this hay weighs so much on these scales; but to the gov­ ernment it weighs so much more." "I do not understand, sir, that way of doing business. I can enter but one weight, and that is the correct one," answered the young weigher. His superior walked away, tittering threats.* The young man from" that day suffered many petty persecutions for his honesty, and it was not long be­ fore he received notice that the govern­ ment had no further use for his service. The summary dismissal made him so down-hearted that when he told the story to his family he seemed a without hope. "Father," replied the eldest daugh­ ter, a girl of 13, "cheer up! I am going to see President Lincoln! I know he will make it all right." Her father and mother tried to turn uer purpose, saying that it would be useless to see the President, as he would not attend to such a petty matter as the dismissal of a weigher of grain. But her faith in the President's sense of justice was so strong that she went to the White House, and, after three days of patient waiting in the ante-room, wss admitted to Mr. Lincoln's presence. The hour for receiving visitors had nearly expired, and as she entered the room the President, throwing himself' on a lounge, said, wearily: "Well, my little girl, what can I do for you?" She told her artless story. Mr. Lin­ coln listened attentively, and with a smile asked: "But how, my dear, do I know your statement is true." "Mr. President," answered the girl, with energy, "you must take my word for it." "I do," replied the President, rising and taking her hand. "Come with me to Mr. Stanton." The Secretary listed to the child's simple story and was so moved by it that he indignantly exclaimed, before she had finished: "The infernal ras­ cal !" He went to his desk and wrote an order for the immediate dismissal of the dishonest official, and for the ap­ pointment of the little girl's father to the vacant place. Mr. Lincoln never forgot the child; he told her story to several Congress­ men, and through their influence her two brothers were enrolled among the pages of the House of Representatives. Two Great Soldiers. At the height of the munching of sandwiches and the quaffing of beer, an old man, with a face-like shriveled parchment, a spare figure, and a benev­ olent smile, tottered through the door­ way. It was Moltke. The instant he appeared every military man in the room shot to his feet as though blown from a gun. Officers of the highest rank stood at attention as a common soldier does at the appearance of his Commander, The famous field mar­ shal saluted in return, but with an in­ describably meaning smile as he put his two fingers to his forehead. Then sat down like the rest, bared his head for a breath of air, and, waving his hand comprehensively around the room, smiled and nodded in a cheerful and suggestive way. The pantomine said as plainly as words could have done: "Thanks. Sit down. It is very warm." Then Vol Moltke laid his famous field marshal's baton--which is not such a gorgeous bauble after all--on one of the tables, straightened his back, and, seiz­ ing a glass of beer that was held out to him, drained it to the dregs. A man of evidently high rank in the army stepped forward while Vol Moltke was drinking the beer, and raising the baton from the beery table, held it reveren­ tially to him. He evidently regarded the emblem of too exalted a nature to permit its contact with a beer-soaked table, but Moltke had apparently for­ gotten all about it, for when he boarded the train half an hour later, the officer still walked behind carrying the symbol of the highest post of the greatest army in the world. The only other field marshal in the German army, Iftumenthal, exhibited a like disregard for his own baton, which by the way, was given him by the Em­ peror immediately after his accession to the throne. Blnmenthal had handed his coat to one of his aides, his hat to another, and his baton to a third, when he entered the restaurant for a glass of beer early in the day. From that time he paid not the slightest attention to his three aides, but sat solemnly in the corner wagging his head in a melan choly fashion, and pounded the table vigorously as he whispered to an Aus­ trian prince. Both of the great field marshals wandered off when the train came into the station, hut the instant they left the dining-ropm they found gnards of honor in every direction, and pa-tsed through long files of officers in the oustomary {tose of military homage. --Blakely Hall's Berlin correspond­ ence. Hew He Whipped Him. A lad narrating an account of a "fosa" in which he had been engaged gives the particulars as follows: • "I'll tell you how it was. Yon see Bill and I went down to the warf to fish, and I felt in my pocket and found my knife, and it was gone, and I said, 'Bill, you stole my knife,' and he said I was another; and I said, 'Go there youidelf!' and he said it was no such thing. And I said I could whip him if I was bigger'n him, and he said he'd 'rock me to sleep, mother/ and I said he was a bigger one. He said 1 never had the measles; and I said it was time for him to fork over that knife, or I'd fix him. Then he said my grandmother was no gentleman; and I said he dursn't take it up. But he did, you bet. Then I got up and said he was too much afraid to do it again; and he tried to but he didn't, and I grabbed him and throwed him down on top of me like several bricks; and I tell you it beat all, and so did lie; and my little dog got behind Bill and bit him, and Bill kicked at the dog, and the dog ran away, and I didn't catch him till he got clear home--and I'll whip him more yet!

CROATIA was conquered by Coloman, King of Hungary, in 1102; in 1526 with Hungary it was united to Austria. A UNIVERSITY is said to have been founded at Bologna, by Theodosius, about 433, but the real date of the es­ tablishment of the University of Bou­ logne was 1116. THE idea of lighting with gas is as old as the latter part of the seventeenth century. Gas was prepared from a certain class of coal as early as 1691, but no practical use was made of it. Ex­ periments were continued to be made until gas-light was practically invented in 1792. AT Edgehill took plaoe the first im­ portant engagement between the ad­ herents ot King Charles L and the Par­ liament army, Oct. 23, 1642. It was an indecisive action, injwhich the Royalists were commanded by Prince Rupert and the lloundheads by the Earl of Essex. The King lost 5,000 killed. WHAT are known in French history as tho "civil wars of the Fronde" were the contests during the minority of Louis XIV. (1648-52) between the fol­ lowers of the court and nobility, and the parliament and the citizens. The latter were called Frondeurs (slingers), it is said, from au incident in a street quarrel. CIRCLES of Germany (formed by Maximilian I. about l,50d", to distinguish the members of the diet of tho Empire) were, in 1512, Franconia, Bavaria, Up­ per Rhine, Suabia, Westphalia, and Lower Rhine, the Palatinate. Upper Saxony, and Brandenburg were added. In 1804 these divisions Were annulled by the establishment of the Confedera­ tion of the Rhine, in 1896. -s - . Mrs. Jay Gould's Fortune. #«rr Gould's wife was comparatively rich when she married. Her name was Martin, she was the heiress of a rish grocer, and xipon going into wedlock she was possessor of something like $80,000. That was just about the time of Jay Gould's first operations in this city. The history of her fortune, here told imperfectly, but for the first time, is blended with her husband's colossal accumulations and yet is separate. Mrs. Gould lent her $80,000 to her husband, and he used it in the beginnings of his career of prosperity. For awKile the outlook was not good for repayment. Gould calculated his chances carefully, and his adventures turned out product­ ively at length, but. at first it seemed as though he would lose every dollar. Indeed, it was not until he fell in with Jim Fisk, and they together captured the Erie Railway, that his wife's thou­ sands began to -multiply themselves. That was the capital with which he worked at the outset. As soon as he could do so he separated her property from his own, and carried it along in separate investments, altogether with her assent and generally at her direc­ tion. She followed his lead, as a rule, though at times she indulged her own fancy or judgement. Thus her wealth grew along with his, until three years ago, when she demanded an accounting from him. She jocosely declared that she wouldn't trust him any longer, and that she meant to retire from Wall street to set him a good example, if for nothing else. Gould had his book­ keepers figure up his wife's interest exactly, and took all of her stocks, bonds, and other securities off her hands at their market value. The yield of this to her was over $2,000,000. She invested the money in Government bonds and other securities of undoubted solidity. This is her personal fortune, and the understanding of her intimate friends is that she will devise it at her death to her daughters.--New Turk letter. Bismarck en Linguists. The London Hawk is responsible for this rather characteristic story of Prince Bismarck. It appears that the Chan­ cellor does not think much of the ac­ quirement of languages. The Prinoe considers that to be a great man it is not absolutely necessary to know foreign languages, either ancient or modern, and that it is not the mind, but the ear, which a linguist cultivates. A new Con­ sul having been appointed to Berlin, he continually bothered his minister to ob­ tain for him an interview with the Chan­ cellor. At length the request Was granted, and the Consul had the for­ wardness to take his son with him. This alone, Bismarck, who has very strong ideas about etiquette, was much put out about; but when the Consul in­ troduced the youth to him as "a most remarkable bov, your highness; he speaks several languages," he turned round to a minister who was standing by his side and remarked, coldly, and in a loud voice: "What a fine waiter hell make when he gets older."--Truth.

"What part of the country do you be­ long to?" he asked. "To no part," said I. "Ioome from England." "Dear me, I never should have sup­ posed that!" "Why not?" "Because of your mode of talking." Here I felt humbled, but ventured a dangerous question, asking: "Don't I speak correctlv?" j "That's it. You talk so well; you talk like us!"--You th's Companion. Did Not Keed Crutches. ̂ A wealthy lady of this city met with an accident last winter by having one ol her legs broken. It was set, but while in the process of healing she bought a pair of crutches to aid her locomotion. The habit of using them grew ui>on hei until she felt unable to walk stea<lily without them. One day last week she limped along a block on her crutch'es^o visit a neighbor, and while doing sd met a rugged and decrepit specimen,; whe had lost a leg and was hobbling along on two time-worn stilts. Her (sym­ pathy was stirred up. She stood erect for a moment, grasped her Costly crutches in one hand, asked the man it he would take them, gave them to him on the spot, and walked off with perfect ease, having thus learned for the first time since she broke her leg that she had no need of artificial aid in pedes-, trianism. She is an unmarried lady, too, though over forty.--New Yori Sum. i * r. •' \ \ "• A, i \ - if A Woeddinck's Bwrow. ^ v ears ago, during my boyhood eh Were mostly spent in nappy England, I did my slu^raof both shooting and trapping wood- chucks, and even helped to eat a roast­ ed one on occasion. But I also did more than this, for several times I h*d thenar as pets* and closely studied their habits in nature and in confinement. Through some parts of the State of Connecticut it "would be hard to pick out a clover field of any size that did not have a woodelmu'k lmiroW in some part of it. Sometimes they chose a. site somewhere under the stone wall which surrounds the field, or if there is a large rock, as is often the case, anywhere about the middle of the field, the ani­ mal will burrow under this as * very choice location. Finally the rodts of an old apple or other tree are often chosen for its stronghold, the burrow being dug down among them, the owner seeming to possess a realizing sense that no one would ever dream of attempting to dis­ lodge him from such quarters. As in the case with the excavations made for their habitations by most fossorial mammals, the burrow of a woodchuek at first descends obliquely into the earth, then passes nearly horizontally for several feet, rises moderately for the last half of its length, to terminate in quite a spacious and round chamber which constitutes the "living-room" of the sntire family. In it the female brings forth her litter, and the young remain there until they pair ofl and dig their own homes elsewhere. < Such a burrow may be at least thirty feet in length, so long that one may never think of digging a woodokuck out. but I have seen fArmors brine mi two or three barrels of water on a cart, and drown the occupant of this subter­ ranean establishment at short notice and rejoice most heartily if the pair, and perhaps seven or eight quarter- grown young, are caught in at the same time. Very often I have captured them in steel traps set at the mouth of the barrow, taking the precaution to sprinkle it carefully over with fine dirt. One old woodchuck, I remember, constructed his burrow almost in the center of a twenty-acre clover lot, and every attempt to capture him in any kind of a trap utterly failed. It was the rarest thing in the world to even catch him standing up at the entrance of his burrow during the day, but frequently we would see him just head and shoul­ ders out of it. It seems to me I must have fired thirty times at him under such circumstances from the outer side of the stone wall which surrounded the field, and that, too, with a heavy old- fashioned muzzle-loading Kentucky rifle, which at seventy-five to 100 yards was good nearly every time for all small game. But here every shot failed; a cloud of dust would puff up at the very entrance of the burrow each time, and T would Confidently walk over to pick Him out, but no, next day at noon he was there again, look­ ing out as smilling as ever. He was captured finally by my tying a Colt's revolver to a. stout stake driven down witihin a few feet of the burrow, and tying a long string to the trigger, I waited behind the wall till he again showed himslf, when the success of the device sealed his doom.--Forest and Stream. • :'••••• • • ••• - •"? -,i I > •!» .- I ..1 , •-/ ""it Tka ttboat rf a i'hnw ' t, b«,: "Materialize*" ana bec'otgen a veritable ro'ftlity when health, a wlll-o'-the-wisp often chased iu vain, U sought by the nervous, dyspeptic, bilious invalid through the agency of HostetAer'a Stomach Bitters. l«oomihg in the distance at first, It is surely drawn toward the smflerer by the Bitters' potent influence.

The reason he selected the mainmast was this, that, as a rule, it is nearly amidships, and when the ship is running the sea ahead and from aft lifts the two ends, forming a hollow amidships (the actual foot of the wave) below the mean draught, equal to the slight elevation, the observer neces­ sarily is above the true height. It was a difficult operation, but he ob­ tained some good observations, mark­ ing the height of the waves on the mast. On measuring the distance from these to the mean draught lie found them to be as follows: 64,61, 58, and 65 feet, respectively, varying in length from 750 feet to 800 feet.

Bad blood means an inactive liver and a sympa­ thetic pr unnatural action of tbe (toramch, bowcU and kidnejs, and as a result BILIOUSNESS. "Tie tymptoms are drowsiness, loss ol appetite, eadache, lack of energy, pain in the back, costive* ness or diarrhoea, sallowness of skin, furred tongue, generally attended with melancholy and GENERAL DEBILITY. To cure these diseases means to restore the action f/oi the liver and other organs, and to kill ike pmsait ia ^ the blood. A remedy containing Mandrake, Cul- ~ • vers Root, Burdock and Cascara Sagrada, acting especially on the liver, stomach, kidneys and sweat glands, is the proper ooe~ r-£i. 1.^1 I P H H k t T h e p r o c e s s o f d i g e s t i o n , a s s i m i i a t l o a a I I l%f removal ne«U the healthy action of the liver, I pancreaa itnd Rlands which supply the bile and other fluids, in order to stimulate them to proper I action.
