One day Long Dog nnd I had gone out h ith a, hunting party of young bucks that were scouring the country for buffalo sign in the neighborhood of Pumpkin buttes. J he party had divided up and spread out over the country in twos and threes. Long Dog and I and a young buck named Two Knive» «track off together up through the cottonwood timber that fringes the river for a width of half a mile or so. Before going far we bowled over a fine buck elk, and starteli Two Knives back to camp with the carcass. Long Dog and I kept on up through the cottonwoixls. An hour or so after parting company with young Two Knives we eaught sight of a big silver tip bear on the other siile of the river. He was standing on liis hind legs, digging the touclnvooil out of a hollow tree. This is a favorite pastime of bears, and particularly brown bears and silver tips, who have a keen partiality for the big, fat inch grubs that make their home in the decayed cotton wood. The bear was so absorbed in his pur suit that we had no trouble in wheeling our cayuses around and retreating out of sight without attracting attention. It was about 300 yards from where we stooil to the bear, anil Long Dog and I both agree«! that to pump lead at a silver tip at that distance would be merely a waste of good aminunitiou. “What had we better do, Long Dog?” said I. "Ugh, heap kill,” replied the Injun; nnd pointing down the river, he led the way in an almost opposite direction from the bear. We coirtinued on down to a ford, where a bend in the river hid us from the bear, and crossed over. Riding on up the other side a short distance we hitched the bronchos behind a clump of box alders and proceeded cautiously toward the hear. The immediate edge of the river was thickly fringed with box alders and mountain willows, and through these we at length began to crawl on hands and knees, with the idea of taking the silver tip by surprise at close quarters. With an old seasoned Injun hunter of Long Dog’s caliber leading the way, this part of the proceeding was easy enough. He wormed and twisted through the thick willows ns slick as a beaver without ever snapping a dead twig. All I had to do was to crawl along in the trail close behind. We had almost got to the point where we luid been ex|»ectlng to be able to use our Winchesters with some certainty when Ixnig Dog halted, and, without uttering a grunt reached back anil tapped me cautiously on the back with his moccasin. As the old Injun looked back over his shoulder aud raised his finger as a warning for me to lay low, his piercing black eyes glowed anti twinkled like a pair of black diamonds with excitement. Of course, I naturally supposed he was merely worked up some over suddenly catching sight of the bear, perhaps, a lit tle nearer than he had been expecting. Seeing me peer inquiringly through the brush in the direction of the touchwood tree. Long Dog raised one dusky finger, mid, without moving another muscle in his body, pointed it toward a clump of willows standing, I should say, thirty feet to the right of the tree, and about thtee times that distance from us. The space between our ambush and the clump was quite open, and was traversed by a deer path that led up from the water. The deer path led straight through the willow clump, and. following the direction of Long Dog's Huger, I saw, in the narrow, alleylike deer path, a long, catlike tail waving to and fro. It was the tail of a full grown mountain Hou, an object famil iar enough to me, for I had killed around dozen of the varmint In my time. No part of the lion was visible save his tail, for the willows were thick between us and his body. Long Dog teemed to comprehend the situation at once, for when I glanced at his finger the next moment it had turned like a weather vane and was pointing in the direction of the bear. With the keen perception of a savage, the old Injun hunter knew at a glance that the mountain lion was lying there watching the move ments of the bear, and hadn't the least suspicion of our own presence. Our situation was a thrilling one, even for an old hunter. From where we lay, scarcely daring to draw breath for fear of betray ing our presence, we could see one side of the Bilver tip's big hairy btsly as lie stood up and clawe«l away at the hollow tree, and on the other hand there was the mountain lion’s four foot tail waving to and fro in the narrow deer path like the tail of an angry cat. All of a sudden, biff! went a big tawny object through the air as quickly and noiselessly as if it had been the flash of a shadow. But now the silence, which bad hardly been violated at all by the industrious bear at the tree, was broken rudely by a whole woodful of savage roars, youfs, snaps, snarls and stand offs. Under the cottonwood tree sto«xl a big mountain lion in an attitude of defiance, scowling at the bear, which looked anxious to attack him and yet half Inclined to back away. There is always something unspeakably comical alxmt a bear to me, whichever way you take him, ami even under the ex citing conditions of the occasion the old Bilver tip seemed to me to wear a clown ish look He stood there a few moments weaving his big lumbering body back ward and forward, as though he ilidu t care a pine needle whether the lion in tended tackling him aguiu or not. Yet we could see the blood gently oozing out of the long silvery wool on his shoul- der where the mountain lion had gouged into him when he made the spring; for the tawny shallow we hail seen flash through «ie air was the lion as he sprang on the unsuspecting bear. A low ex< iteil “Ugh?” from Tz»ng Dog and another motion of his Anger caused me to glance again into the clump of wiF lows. Take my head for coyote bait II the Hon’s tail wasn’t still in the deer path, a-thrn.hing like fury. Before you could say “whisky” twice, however, biff wen another shadow out of the willows, and when I looked for the tail again it was gone. Instead of one mountain lion, as we had first thought, the willows had SbAn»r'm»tw ’the circn« opened np wltl savage earnestness. The second lion» 1" square on the stiver tip • wit tiers snd wel nigh toppled him over. The other one which hid svidenU/ been nalUng tor bh partner to come on, sailed In nt the same moment, and I tell you they mHde old bruin hustle around pretty lively for a while. The three varmints rolled over and over on the ground in a heap, strug gling, biting, roaring and clawing away at each other like mad demons. First one party seemed to lx» getting the best of the tight and then the other. The lions were on top most of the time, however, for the silver tip seemed to think he would stand a better show if he kept down on his back and fought with all four of his paws at liberty. The way he worked those paws was a caution. Once or twice during the first few minutes the lions came in for vicious scrapes that ripped long red gashes in their hides, and they backed off n few paces and uttered dismal howls, as though Ixtwailing their hurts. Thia gave the old bear a chance to pull himself to gether, and he stood up and weaved back and forth ami moaned, sorrowful like, as though he would a heap rather see his as sailants turn around and walk off than come at him again. This was in the early stage of the fight, before the bear had properly got his mad up. It wns a pretty even match, considering everything. A mountain lion cati walk all around a bear for quickness, and two of them togethei are able to make things mighty uncomfortable for almost any kind of an animal. But, on the other side, their hides are right smart tenderer than a bear's, with no wool to speak of; anil an old silver tip has more lives than a dozen mountain lions. After snarling and grinning at ench other awhile, “wor-r-r-r! quow-r-ri psssss! spit! yeaow-r-r! whoot! zippp?!’’ they were at it again, the bear down on his back a-thrashing and snapping like mad to stand the lions off. The lions, how ever, badly lacerated as they were in the first two rounds, seemed determined to chew the bear up. They flew at him like twin furies, biting and tearing away with such demoniacal ferocity that more than one guttuaal “Ugh I” involun tarily escaped Long Dog’s lips as we lay there and looked on. Ten minutes after the commencement it became very evident that the fight couldn't last much longer. The skin of one of the lion’s left side was banging in ribbons, and the other one seemed to have half its face torn away. Owing to the bear’s heavy coat it showed up at this stage of the struggle a heap perter than the Hons; but, all the same, it was dyed from head to tail with its own blood. All three were becoming some what weaker from the loss of blood, but the silver tip was by far the likeliest look ing animal of the three. As the fight progressed lie got madder than a hornet all through, and instead of weaving and moaning when the lions drew off for h breathing spell, he took to chasing them around. The lions kept clear of him un til they got good and ready to waltz in and on him again, when they made the fur fly for all their teeth anil claws were worth. When the Hons drew off for the fourth time, one of them had his belly ripped open and his entrails were dragging on the ground. He soon got so weak that he couldn’t keep out of the old bear’s reach. The silver tip fetched him a savage swipe over the head that tore away the scalp. He then flung himself on the helpless lion and finished him up in a fine burst of sav age fury. The bear was now bos^ of the field, but he was growing so weak that he fairly staggered as he moved off after the other lion. This critter had got all the bear tight he wanted for one dose, ami wns plainly on the point of clearing out. He didn’t seem to understand that his part ner was a goner, though, and he sat down on his haunches out of the bear’s reach, as though expecting the other one to join him. “Ugh!” said lying Dog, “now kill.” Bang! bang! lying Dog bowled over the surviving lion, and I toppled over the bear. We then strode out upon the field of battle and took in the slaughter pen. The old silver tip staggered to his feet as we moved out of cover, but it was all he could do; another shot laid him out for good. We examined the carcasses with a good deal of curiosity to see which bad fared the worst. There wasn’t much to choose between them, after all. Beneath the fur there was hardly an inch of sound hide on the bear’s body. One of his eyes was torn out, and his tongue was bitten completely in two. He would have «lied, probably, in less than half an hour if we hadn’t finished him off. As I said, in comparing it with the moonlight scrimmage among the grizzlies at the head waters of the Rosebud, I think this was a little bit the prettiest fight I ever saw* in the Rockies, barring none.— New York Sun. Smoking “Off Color’* Cigar«. CARP NOT POPULAR. They Thrive Well Enough, but Are Not Very Good to Eat. When tho government some years ago began the introduction of carp into tliis country a great deal of interest was rnani- fested in the project and all kinds of ¡ire- dictions were indulged in. Carp ¡tonds were constructeil all over the country and the immigrants took kindly to Amer ican water. The prediction that the carp would do well in this country was soon realized, but there does not seem to be much pnwpeet of tho realization of the prediction tliat it will be tho future food flsh of this country. At any rate, Jerseymen aro not taking kindly to eat ing it. An attempt was made to intro duce it into the market at Paterson and the price dropiie«l to ten and eight cents per pound, but the taste of the people was more favorable to catfish and porgies, and tho carp were driven out of the market. Those who ate them pro- nouneeil them worse than the American sucker, and nobody seemed anxious for a second trial. George Jackson, of Lit tle Falls, was one of the first to catch the carp fever, ami lie law several ponds full of the various kinds. One day ho killed one weighing alvut four pounds. It was prepared in various different ways, and was found to be enough tor a dozen families. Carp Iwilixl, stewed, fried and fixed in different other ways was passes! aliout the neighborhood, but nobtxly called for a second plate. Then some ono suggested that tho proper way to eat it was witli ¡xirt wine sauce. The jury returncxl a verdict without leaving their seats that this « as a gix»d way to spoil oort wine. In tho upper part of Passaic county there were a number of carp ponds. One niglit a freshet swept them away and the carp got into tho river. Sin«» that time they have multiplied rapidly, and last year largo numbers weighing about a half to three-quarters of a pound wero caught. This year they are caught in still larger numbers, and tho average weight has increased to over a pound, nnd occasionally one weighing thre» or four pounds is caught. They havo been caugbt weighing six or seven pounds, but carp of this size aro scarce. The Passaic river, from the Morris county line for several miles either way, is a sluggish stream, admirably adapteil for tho growth of carp. This part of tho river is now literally alive with them, and it takes but a short timo to catch a large number. They will tako a worm like any common fish, but the largest numlier are caught on dough mixed with cotton. Boiled ¡leas make a delicate bait, anil when boiled string beans are pre sented to them tho carp fairly jump with delight. After they nre caught they are gener ally thrown away, fed to tho cats or used for manure. Very few people un dertake to eat them. In soma places the carp are so thick that they can be seen at times by the hundred. Then again they stir up the bottom in search of bait, i.ml the water presents a muddy appear ance for a considerable distance around. In this way the river to kept almost con tinually stirred up. «o that people living .»long tho banks are complaining of the quality of the drinking water. What this marvelous increaso in carp J ffoitat to result in is a question that is roubling some people. Other fish in- 1: ixluced into waters whero they do not elong have fixxiuently multiplied so rap idly as to die off by tho thousands for want of nourishment, and have thus caused disease, their rotting «arcasses eing exposed to the action of tlio sun and the water. If is feared that this will !» tho cone with tho carp, and many of tbo residents along the Passaic river are talking about joining the Knownothing [»arty nnd putting nothing but American iislr on guard. Anglers having tried the (tarp and found them wanting in gamy qualities, concluded that their introduction would oe a good thing for the bass and pickerel, who, it was thought, would relish tho carp to feed upon. But tbo bass aro too intensely American to have a taste for carp, and they let them severely alone and look for other f«xxl. Fishing for bass and pickerel is just as good as it lias been for years, and the carp do not seem :o havo interfered with the food supply of other ftyli. Catching carp is a novelty to on angler, but he soon tires of it, and the result is that they aro »»eing let alone, and when caught by accident they are generally thrown back into the water. Tlio carp, consequently, have everything their own way, and aro continuing to multiply until they threaten to tako rank among tbo fishes which the English «par row occu|»ii's among the birds of this country.—New York Herald. “I suppose you smoke as much as you like for nothing?” said purchaser of some cigars to the clerk of a popular cigar stand. “Yes, I smoke a good many good cigars at no cost to myself.

Power from Artf**lan Well«. Science Notes and News contained, a short time since, the suggestion of electric lighting from the air—using windmills for the motor. In Dakota, where the artesian wells have such a pressure as to warrant the belief that it is due to gas—since there are no known water supplies capable of furnishing the necessary head—it is pur posed to utilize water for the same pur pose. An electric light plant Is abont to be put in at Yankton, to supply 500 in candescent and twenty five heavy arc lights, requiring altout forty horse power. The power is expected to Is- supplied by an artesian well now flowing, ami if the experiment Is successful another well will lx- bored and the capacity of the light plant doubled.—Chicago News.

When the weather is clear you can see three moun tain ranges all snow capped, 12 or 13 lakes, 17 towns and cities, 40 villages, 00 odd glaciers, and this in a circumference of about 800 miles. Glorious, I admit, but ohf the discomfort of the descent again! It takes longer to come down than it does to go up, and passengers are jerked, jerked, jerked from apex to base so rudely that life is no longer a pleasure ere we have reached Vitznau again. Out on such cogwheel contrivances for hu man torture, say I; the old fashioned dil igences may have been slow and cruel, but they were Pullmans alongside of these new fangled cars. Four years ago I climbed the Rigi, mere child’s play after doing I’ilatus, and I have not grown much older since 1 said I would climb it again and I did so day before yesterday. It was a warm after noon. Not a breath of air, and the sun shining full on me for half the distance. By half-past 7 o’clock I bad reached the kulm or highest point, and there I threw myself on the earth and saw the sun go down. Then I had my feet and legs well rubbed with liniment, meanwhile eating dinner, and then I went to bed to be called early enough to see that same sun rise again. The Rigi Kulm is tlw best place I know of to observe the splen did ruddy glow that comes over the great Alpine peaks at the rising and setting of tbo sun. Unfortunately these effects of light do not last long, but they are mar velously beautiful. Night before last as tho sun went down it iiecame first yel low, then dark rod and in an instant everything touched by its dying rays as sumed tho same ruddy tint. This lasted for a couple of minutes after the sun had entirely disappeared, and then suddenly everything turned black and lol the stars were shining.—Henry Ilaynie in New Orleans Picayune. A Chicago “Hoc,or'.“ Method—A French man*. Proven«—A Bail Job. Tho ilixttor, a pleasant faced young man, said: “I am a regularly graduated physician, and believe myself capable of performing any ordinary operation. Chi cago needs a dimple maker and I want to bo tho man. There’B money in it for mo and lieauty in it for the ladies. The process is practically painless and the after result as beautiful a dimple as the heart of man could desire t6 look upon or woman to ixwsess. Dimple making is a regular business in New York and other eastern cities. I think I can in troduce improvements into tho art. I have been to Paris and have studied there under tho great dimple makers, and think mvself competent. The process is simple. Through an incision made in the skin I remove a small portion of the tlesh sufficient to leave a cavity largo enough for a dimple. The wound is dressed and nature is left to heal it. No, I don't care to go into ¡larticulars, be cause I do not want to be imitated. The charge will be from $25 to $50, and tho time required alsiut one week. The op eration itself pikes but a few minutes. Of course the healing of the wound is a matter of more or less time.” The first establishment of the business, tf it can lie so called, in America, was managed by a Frenchman named Lo Compte, who introduced it. Ho had lx.>en a barl>er in his own country, and had learned dimple making as an ad junct to shaving, as the Italians learn how to use the lancet. He was not an expert, but ho was shrewd. He knew’ that doctors of a certain ciass como cheap, so when ho hired a first floor front in ono of tho old houses on Fourteenth street, New York, before the reorganiza tion of that thoroughfare, he hired a young graduate to help him. This was in 1875. Le Compte soon became the rage.
