LOLA LT TES THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR,
How Puss Frightened Bruin Up «a Tree and Kept Him There. ” Chris Burns, the veteran first sergeant ef Troop D, had a kitten which, during the summer Cain ping of the troop at the Lower Geyser basin, made her home within the sergeant’s tent. Here, curled gp on a pair of army blankets, she de- fed the world in general and dogs in rticular. When the latter approached, ghe would elevate every bristle ou her prave little back, her eyes would glow like live coals, and her tail would swell up threate ningly. If degs approached too near, she would hiss and exhibit the psual signe of hostility until the in- truders had vanished from her neigh- porhood.
One day, when the camp was bathed io sunshine and every soldier in camp felt lazy, an inquisitive black bear came down the mountain side and, whether because he was in search of adventure or because attracted by a savory smell from the cook’s fire, began to walk about among the white tents of the cay-
command.
Suddenly the kitten canght sight of him. Dogs by the score she had seen, but this particular ‘‘dog’’ was the ‘ar- gest and the hairiest dog she had ever gen. But she did not hesitate. It was enough for her that an enemy had in- yaded her special domain. Hissing forth her spite, while her little body quivered with rage, she darted forth at the bear. The onslaught was sudden, and cne glance was enough for bruin. Witha qort of fear, bruin made for the nearvst tree, a short distance away, and did not pause until he was safely perched among the apper branches. Meanwhile the kitten stalked proudly about on the ground beneath, keeping close guard over her huge captive, her back still carved intoa bow and her hair still bristling with righteous indignation, while her tail would now and then give & significant little wave, asif to say, “That's the way I settle impertinent
”
‘he soldiers, who meanwhile had poured forth from their tents, covld earcely believe their eyes; but there was the bear in the tree and the kitten below, and there were those who had seen the affair from beginning to end.
And perhaps the strangest part of it: allwas that the bear would not stir from his safe position in the branches until the kitten had been persuaded to leave ber huge enemy a clear means cf retreat. Then he slid shamefacedly down from his perch and ambled hastily off toward the mountain. —Lieutenant Charles D. Rhodes, U. S. A., in St. Nicholas.

Kigttysoix Steam Engives. Bm One of ths)
Big Cruisers. Ima.warship like the- Massachusetts of |
the United States navy there are alto- | gether 86 steam engines, big and little, in } tions under which the prince attended
the equipment, and many of these en- gines have double steam cylinders—in fact,
there are no less than 168-steam cylinders /
all soled. :
With so many engimes.. to be supplied with steam, it is very apparent that the matter ef economy sbould be carefully studied. This subject has been looked into move or less, but it has-been found that to compound the engines.ef many of the auxiliaries would add. still .nore to the complication, to say rething about addi- tional weight and spaces. Then, again, many of the auxiliaries are anly occasion- ally brought into use. However, there im nodoubt that as great a stride will ba made in the near future in steam econo my for the auxiliary engines as bas bees dane with the main enyines.
Although the powevef all the auxiliarias on the trial trip of the Massachusetts aver aged only about 234 per eentof the indir sated horsepower of the main engine, the actual amount of steam used by these auxiliaries was no doubt anywhere from 10 to 15 per cent of all the steam gener- ated. On the trisl trip referred to: the main engines and. the auxiliaries. im use developed the follewing powers: Maim en-
| gines, 10,128 indicated horsepowér; aiz
pumps, 12\4 indicated horsepower, oF about one-eighth. ef 1 per cent of the power of the main engines; circulating pumps, 86% indicated horsepower, or about one- third of 1 per eent; feed pumps, #4 indi- cated horsepower, or about two-tbirds of 1 per cent; forced draft blowers, 497 indi- cated horsepewer, or about | pez cent; other auxiliaries; 45 indicated horsepower, or about one-half of 1 per cent. The tota} of all the auxiliaries was 275 indicated horsepower, er as above stated, about 2% per cent of the indicated hossepower of the main engines. ‘his certainly shows that there is an opportunity for the de- signers of the different auxiliaries to try anu see if some of this steam cannot be gaved.—Cassier’s Magazine

Valencia Oranges.
**Few people are probably aware that it takes over 50,000,000 boxes of or- anges to supply the aanual demand for this fruit in the United States,’’ said a wholesale fruit merchant iu New Yurk. ** About 90 per cent of the fruit is grown in California and Florida, and the rest comes principally from Valencia. The domestic fruit is now selling at fror
$2.75 to $4 a box, while the foreign ar- ticle is worth from $5 tc $7 per crate.
‘‘One reason why we import so many Spanish oranges is cwiag to the large yearly exports of our own luscious prod- uct to London, where our fruit finds a ready market and is considered a great luxury. Besides there are many Ameri- cans who have cultivated a taste for the fine Valencia fruit, and they will ap- parently have nothing else. Soto please both English and American consumers we export and import large quaatities of cranges.
‘*Valencia exports more, oranges than any other city in the world. It largely supplies England, sending there annual- ly some 40,000,000, in boxes bolding 500 each. The country in the neighbor- hood of the city is flat and has some- thing of the aspect of a market garden. All semitropical fruits grow there, and raisin and wine grapes, rice and mul- berry trees flourish especially. But the growing of oranges for exportation is the chief industry. So great is the for- eign demand for the fruit thet when I was in Valentia in the harvest season of 1896 I fonnd it next to imyossible to buy a first rate orange, the best being packed for shipment. Those commonly eaten by the inhabitants are the small mandarins. Last year some 400,060 boxes of ‘‘ Valencias’’ came to America, and the call for them was brisk. This year at least 450,000 boxes are expected to arrive in New York, and the demand for the fruit in most of the big cities will doubtless be very active daring the holidays. ’’—Washing*on Star.
A High Ball,
The recent coup of the Princess de Sagan in Paris has created much sriil- ing comment. She is a well known lead- er in the fashionable world and for 22 years she and her busband have lived apart. Recently she succeeded in carry- ing him off from his club while be was ill and he is mow under her rooftree, and it is announced a reconciliation has taken place. Her eldest son, who al-
' ways sided with his father, is furious,
and his mother will not let him see his father more than once a week, and no one knows: whether the old prince is staying at his wife's house of his free will or because he is locked in. An amusing story is told about the condi-
a ball given by his wife to royalty in 1878. It was impossible to entertain royalty without the presence of the mas- ter of the house, and the princess sent a friend tm intercede with her husband.
The prinee at the time happened to bea bit short of money and hardly waited for the friend to make explanaticm be- fore he vesponded: ‘‘Certainly, TPN. come with great pleasure—for $20, 000.’* He got the memey and was at the ball.
—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The old story of Prometheus is a para, ble. Prometheus was on terms ot intimacy with the gods, From them he etole fire and gave it tomen. For this sin he was bouua to the roeks Of Mount Caucaseus, and vultures were set opon him. They only ate bis liver. This grew again as faust ae it was pecked away. Are his suierings to he imagined ?
Take » modern interpretation of the parable. There is no cooking withont fire. In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels: become clogged, they cannot dis- pose of the food that is given them. The impurities back up on the liver Then come the vultwures—the torments of a dis- eased liver. Dr. Pierce’s Goldex Medical Discovery is more than equal to the vul- tures of dyspepsia and its kindred diseases. There is no mure seed of suffering from dyspepsia than there ie of hanging Go's elf.
