Wild I)ogrs of the Mountains,
The wild dogs which infest the
mountains of the upper Wind river
are not the common wolf of the wes-
tern prairies and mountains. They
are something far more powerful
and dangerous. Several years since
a male Scotch staghound and a fe-
male English bulldog ran away in
company from Foil Washakie, made
their home in the mountains, and
these wild dogs of the upper Wind
river are their savage offspring help
being a canine terror?
The latest exploits of those canine
marauders of which we have any ac-
count is the destruction of a small
herd of bears. It appears that some
time ago about a dozen bears of the
dreaded and large silver tip variety
came down from the surrounding
mountains to enjoy themselves on
the sunny slopes of the Warm Spring
basin. In the course of the day
those bears got together, and while
thus massed were attacked by about
100 of the wild dogs.
The conflict was terrible. The
bears fought with all the courage
and ferocity for which the silver tip
is noted, but the mingled strain of
staghound and bulldog supplied a
courage and ferocity greater still,
and at the end of half an hour every
bear had died where he was brought
to bay.
The dogs suffered severely, twen
ty five of their number perishing in
the fight. The survivors wasted lit-
tle time, however, in mourning over
their dead companions, but began
at once on the banquet their own
powers had provided, and in an hour
from the time the combat ceased,
only the clean picked bones of the
twelve bears remained to tell of the
struggle to death which had taken
place, and the savage feast which
had followed.—Wind River Moun
taineer.

The symptoms ol bioliusness are unhappily
but too well known. They differ in differon'
individuals to some extent. A Bilious r.ian is
seldom a breakfast eater, l oo frequently,alas
he has an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of u morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any time ; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, ut all
events.
The digestive system is wholly out of or-
der and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a
symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss ot blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct a cure

Color Blindness a Brain Affection.
Professor Ramsay believes that
the particular defect giving rise to
color blindness lies, not in the eye
itself, but in the braiu. Certain per
sons, he points out, are incapable of
judging which of two musical tones
is the higher, even when they are
more than an octave apart. Yet, as
such persons hear either tone per
fectly, the defect is not one of deaf-
ness. He accordingly argues that
in such persons the brain is at fault,
and thence proceeds to the assump-
tion that it may be equally true that
the inability to preceive certain col
ors is not due to a defect in the in
strument of sight by the eye, but to
the power of interpreting the im
pressions conveyed 10 the brain by
the optic nerve. If this is the case,
the problem is no longer a physical
one. It falls among those with
which the mental physiologist has to
deal.—The Medical Press.
Habitual constipation
And kidney nnd liver ills, depending on
weak or inactive condition of the kidney, liver
or bowels, are successfully and permanen "
cured only by the u e of the gentle yet effec-
tive laxative and diuretic, Syrup 01 Figs. Its
advantages! are evident; it is easily taken,
pleasing to the taste, acceptable to the stonv
ach, hatmless to the most delicate system, and
truly beneficial in effect. Sold in 50 cents and

In Breslau, Germany, a chimney
fifty-four feet in height has been
constructed entirely of solid blocks

the blocks being placed carefully
one on top of the other and joined
together with a special cement. The

the nature of the material, quite se

* IS A LINIMENT PERIL
Keep Warm.—Rose Terry Cook©
says: "If you want to be happy
keep warm. Women are eaten up
with neuralgia, says tho doctor. .No
wonder. They sit all the morning
by a hot register and then tie the
five or six-inch strip of bonnetover
their back hair, a bit of lace film
over their bangs, put oh kid boots,
with silk thread stockings under-
neath, and dowdle along the pave
with bitter winds of winter smiting
their temples, their delicate ears,
their throats and the bases of what
should be their brain. Their out-
raged nerves shrink and quiver
under this barbarous exposure.
But no matter; their chests are
well-covered with fur cloaks and
sacques, but cold feet, the numb
cars, the reddened temples, the ex-
posed neck will have their own
story to tell. Then you won't
wear flannel next the skin. Why?
Because your waists will look too-
large and it is the style to be as
near in shapeliness to that delight-
ful and lovely insect, the wasp*
as humanity can be forced. Do
you really like to acbeand groai*
and to be laid aside every few days
with agonizing headaches or pant-
ing. laboring, hearts? Strange, if
true!"

A French dandy went to a photo-
grapher to get his picture taken.
When the job was done he refused
to pay, on the ground that the pic-
ture did not look like him, and ho
left the establishment. Next morn-
ing he passed by the place and saw
his picture hanging in the showcase,
and under it were the startling
words in big letters "The biggest
fool in the whole town." He rushed
into the store and abused the pho-
tographer. "But, my dear sir,'*
said the latter, "since the picture
doesn't resemble you. what in tho
world are you complaining about.—

Is Consumption Incurable?
Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morrif
Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with ah
scess of Kings, and friends and physicians
pronounced me an incurable consumptive. Be-
gan taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Con-
sumption,am now on my third bottle, and able
to oversee the work on my farm. It is the
finest medicine ever made."
Jesse Middleware Decatur.Ohio,says: "Had
it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery lor
Consumpt on I would have died of lung
troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am
now in best of health. J-atsple bottles free at

One of the best and simplest reme-
dies for torpid liver or biliousness is ..
a glass, of hot water with the juice
of half a lemon squeezed in it, but
no sugar, night and morning. A
person to whom this was recommen-
ded tried it, and found himself bet-
ter almost immediately. His daily
headaches, which medicine had
failed to cure, left him; his appetite
improved, and he gained several
pounds within ft. few weeks. Thin
is so simple a remedy that any per-
son thus afflicted will do well to
ive it a trial, as it cannot possibly
o any harm. _•>
