BEAR HUNT IN A CAVERN. XJncle Jim Day Surprised by the Behavior of the Game. B«r Died BundlnK and Triad to Kill Him Aftrr Dying—A Ciuin In m Hoor/combni lilnff In California. “There is a curious bluff or ledge of docks on the east side of Trinity river in California,'* said Col. Parker, of Gar•deau. “It is perhaps a mile in length, and rises nearly 100 feet almost perpendicularly above the valley. Outwardly it presents no feature that would attract •any particular attention to it from the casual observer, unless it might be numerous Assures, teams, and openings -of various widths and heights along its face, ail of them apparently leading into the very depth of the great wall. This, in fact, they do. That formidablelooking ledge is virtually hollow. Its interior is a succession of caverns, some of them wide and lofty chambers, and others passages where a man can scarcely stand erect. Some of these durk caves are connected w ith each other by devious corridors and passages, narrow and wide, and high and low. Others have but one opeuing.. This honeycombed cliff is the day haunt of, not thousands, but millions of bats, and it is a sight never to be forgotten to see litem issue from the many vents of the cliff as evening approaches, and flit away to their night’s foraging about the country. The ledge at such times might well be compared to a vast beehive, w ilh its myriads of busy workers hovering about the entrances. It is aaid out there that men have been I known to venture into the depths of. the cliff who have never come out again. * either having been lost in the intricate labyrinths of its dark interior, or killed and devoured by wild beasts that are alleged to make the caves their lairs and hiding places. That may or may not be I true, but it brings me to the story i had In mind about this curious hollow wall or rock. “John rhvy and his uncle, .Tim Day, had no little fame in the Trinity valley as bear hunters. lispeeially t'ncle Jim. On** day during the time I was out in that count rv, John came to me and said: “ ‘Colonel, i trailed a bear pretty near all day to-lay, and what has he gone * and done to me but holed upsomew here in the inside of Old Searface. He ain't a very big bear, but 1 started out to get him and 1 c^n’t afford to let a little thing like a h^e in the rocks cheat me out of him. l\u goth* to squeeze into the inside o* Old Scarfa.ee arid run that bear dow n if 1 have to camp in there a month. Uncle Jim is gotn*. You better jiue in and >e<* the fun.' “I liked the novelty of the thing, and said I would be glad to go along. The three of us started next morning to follow John's N*ar into the heart of the frowning cliff. Old Searface. as it was farailliarly called. John lead us to the place w here the bear had gone in. Utnfle -Jim gazed at the opening a moment, -and, w ith a contemptuous sniff, said to John:

“‘You don’t moan tor tell mo. Jack, that you'ro goin’ ter follow a b'ar that is little enough to climb into n hole the size o’ that thar one. do yuhT “John said he did. '“‘Then I’m ’shamed of yuh!* exclaimed Uncle Jim. *“ You needn’t go in, if you’re afraid!’ replied John. “’Afraid! Me afaid.!’cried Uncle Jim, and squeezed into the opening. “The crevice was not more than a foot and a half wide and scarcely three feet high. We had to lie down on one sid« •and work our way along the passage, pulling our guns and torches after us. - There was ten feet of this contracted entrance. Then we found ourselves in n more roomy place, where we could stand erect. Lighting our torches, we went on, and soon came out into a big ;cavern, where we instantly became the . -center of myriads of bats which out coming with,Jights had disturbed. They dashed frantically about us. singeing themselves in the blazing torches -and filling the cave with shrill squeaking^ With all those thousands of wings ; in motion,'scarcely a sound came from ^ the flight of the bats, so silent of w^ng is this strange night-prowling bird animal. “For a time the barrier of bats made, •our progress difficult, and the sensation of these by no means agreeable creatures surrounding you and coming in contact with you at every step w as anything but pleasant. They either became used to us by and bv, or tired of investigating ds, and the great mass of them returned to their banging l places oa the walls.

“ If that b*ar come in that openin’, as he sartin did,* said Uncle Jim, after we had expired the cavern pretty thoroughly, ‘he oughter be in this here dugout somcwhor. ’Cordin’ to the natur* o’ b’ars he oughter be here somewhir, ’less he’s ben eat up by bats.’ “We went around and around the cavern, which was at least 30 feet across and 30 feet high, our torches revealing all parts of it within the area of their lighting power, but no bear or sign of bear did we see. “ ‘He must a gone on to some other part o* this scooped-out dorrick,’ said Uncle Jim. ‘Lookin’ for a place, maybe, whar he don’t have to bunk in with so many bats. Move ahead. Jack, through the first openin’ out o’ here vuh kin find. We’ll—hold on. Jack. Twist that torch o* your’n up to’rds that'shelf yunder. Aha! Yuli cunnin’ cuss!’ “The shelf Uncle Jim mentioned was rather n niche in the wall of the cavern on one side, and all of 15 feet from the floor. As near as I could make out by the torchlight, the niche was about ten feet long and five high. How deep it was I could not sec. It was deep enough for the purpose of comfortably holding a bear, however, as 1 soon found out. “ ‘Trouble with yous,* continued Un cle Jim, with his eyes fixed on the niche, ‘that your curiousness is too much fer vour cwunin’ness. Other ways, yuh wouldn’t a got ketched.’ “I hadn’t seen anything all this time to call forth these remarks from the old hunter, but just then John’s torch was flared around and I saw two eyes, glistening in the reflection of the light, glaring over the edge of the niche. We stood about in the center of the cavern, and as Uncle Jim ceased talking the owner of the eyek evidently made up his mind that he would take the intruders on liis quarters in hand, for he dropped out of the niche to the floor like a monkey leaving his perch, and by the flaming light of the torch I saw an enormous bear standing on his hind feet against the wall. The bear didn’t stand there long, but advanced savagely toward Uncle Jim and John, who stood side by side, John holding the torch and Uncle Jim his gun. 1 stood a step or two in their rear, off to one sidt\i As

l he bear came forward -Uncle Jim uhouted: s ‘“Flash the torch in his eyes!’ “John gave the torch a twist, and the blaze shone square in the bear’s eyes, dazzling them so that he turned his head around'' and lowered it a little to evade the light. He was but little more than a gun length away when he turned his head, and as he turned it Uncle Jim fired. The huge brute dashed on toward the two men. and before either could gee out of his way one of his immense fore paws came down against Uncle Jim's chest and the other caught John by the shoulder. “Both men staggered back under the force of the-blows, but did not fall. There Stood all three, revealed tq me by the light of John's torch, which he still held aloft, the bear with both'men in ’•is clutch, with an awful look in his eyes and his mouth wide open, and they standing motionless as if paralyzed with terror. I was about to send a bullet into the bear’s brain to save, as I supjxxsed. the lives of my companions, when the fact that he had not moved a muscle since he seized Uncle Jim and Jack struck me. I stepped quickjy forward. The bear did not move. lie stood there erect and firm, but he A$as stone dead! Uncle Jim’s bullet had struck him at the butt of the left ear and'dislocated his neck. The big fellow had dashed forward in his death throes, died the instant he 'truck his great claws into his foes, and stood there just as he died. The long, sharp claws were buried so deep in the clothing of the two hunters that 1 had to cut it away with my hunting knife before they could be released from the bear’s death clutch. “‘Thar!’ exclaimed Uncle Jim after the bear lay stretched on the cavern floor. ’I’ve killed many and many a b’ar, and had’m die on my hands in all sorts o’ ways, but I’ll be doped if ever I see one die a stand in’ afore!. And this is the first time I everknowed a li'ar to trv to kill a feller aft^r he was dead hisseif!’ | ** *|tut this ain’t my bear,” said John. ‘My bear wasn’t as big as one side of this bear. Can’t be, can it. Uncle Jim, that }ie could a waxed as big and fat as this on bats since yesterday?' “But an idea seemed to have come suddenly to Uncle Jim that puzzled him. He took a string from his pocket ayid measured the width of the bear between the shoulders, and its height if on all fours.

‘“Two foot and & half wide.’ said Uncle Jim, ’and four foot high. Thur ain’t no ways that b’ar could tipper so’s he could pit inter this here hole by the doorfwrcome io by. But he’s in here, sartin, and consequently he must a pot in. How and whar? That’s what we pot to $nd out, pertic’ly ’cause if he couldn’t tit in the way we did. we can’t git him out that ..way, and I’m goin' ter git s»hat b’ar out o* here hull. Any b’ar that dies a standiu* up and tries j to kill me after he’s dead, I’m go in ter take home hull. Consequently, we must find out how and whar he pot in.’ j “ ’But how about my liear. Uncle Jim?* said John. *1 didn’t come into the bowels of tyj*bjS<‘arfaee to pit this bear. I came after the bear that fooled me all day. and then crawled in here. How-about him?’ ** ’That b’ar,’ replied Uncle Jim, ‘findin’ this dup-Out, took up by this old feller, nat nr’Jy didn’t turn him out, but went scoutin' fer another un. WVll be ap* to run aerost him while lookin’ fur the place this b’ar got in.’ “I didn’t n ’ish much the idea of prospecting the tunnels and chambers of the hollow cliff for an unknown exit, but I didn’t dare show the white feather, particularly as I had been for a couple of weeks entertaining Uncle Jim and John with some experiences of mine in the woods and mountains of \arious parts of the country that were a trifle hair-raising in the telling, and I have a reputation to sustain with

them. So I went along farther into the depths with fear and trembling. Fortunately our explorations did not extend into the intricacies of Old Scarface’s strange interior very far, for the good reason that the only passageway leadin g out of-the big cavern terminated against a solid wall, after a winding course of perhaps an eighth of a mile. Midway between this wall and the cavern where the dead Hear was, on one side of the passage, and ten feet from the floor, we discovered an opening which was evidently in direct communication with the outside of the cliff, for daylight was shining dimly through it. Xe attention was given it by either of my companions as we passed along beyond Uncle Jim’s saying: “ ’Old Scarfaee's side is pretty' darn thin along here when daylight kin shine through it.’ “ISut when we ran up against the wall at the end of the tunnel, and found that there %vas no opening there or any*where big enough todet a fly through, Uncle Jim scratched his head awhile and then said: ..

“ “Well, all thur is about it is je$t this here. That ba’r couldn't git in at the door and he jest nat-ur’ly dumb in at the winder. Consequently, thar's where he'll have to be got out at hull.’ “ ‘Yes,’ said John. ‘That's ali right, but where's my bear?’ “ ‘Jack,’ said Uncle Jim, ‘I think it more than likely that finding the bunk took up by the b’ar that died a standin*. he didn't like any the rest o’ the quarters, a nd he went out ag’in in the way he come. What's the use o’ worryin’ about a b’ar that's so little it can crawl into ait IS-ineh hole, anyhow?* “We came back along the passage to investigate the whole that showed daylight. We got to the spot where we had seen the hole, but the hole was gone. There was no daylight shining through. Thinking we had made a mistake in locating it, we passed on. I was in the rear several paces. For some reason I turned and looked back. There was the hole in the side of the tunnel as plain us could be. I was a little startled, end turned toward my companions and shouted: “ ‘Come back. The hole is here!’ “They came hurrying back. Just before they reached me I turned to look at the hole. It was nowhere to be seen! This was such a spooky proceeding that I was scared. When Uncle Jim and John came up I tokl them of the queer reappearance and sudden disappearance of the hole. “ ‘Aha!’ was all I heard Uncle Jim say, but the next second the tunnel was roaring with the report of his gun. I heard a heavy fall, nurd one snarly sort of a groan. I looked around. Daylight was shining again through the hole in the tunnel. “Two of ’em tp git out hull!’ exclaimed Uncle Jim; ‘the old feller that died a-standin’ and his unfortunate wife that didn't know no better than to, shet out daylight! It's a kindness to her. though, She Won’t never know she was a wltjder. now!’ “The getting of the bears ‘out hull* necessitated more help, and we left them to the custody of old Searface and crawled out of his depths into the world again and went home, t'ncle Jim and others returned with ropes and things and got. the bears out at the hole in the side of the funnel. They were cinnamon bears, and weighed a good 400 apiece. Yet John wasn’t pleased. He wanted the little bear that had fooled him all day and got away from him at last. “‘I’d rather got that bear than a dozen big fellers like them!’ he said. “’What!’ said Uncle Jim. ‘And one of ’em died a-standin’, and tried to kill v uh after he was dead! I’m ashamed o* yuh, Jack!”*—N. Y, Sun.

A HESITATING ORATOR. The EmbkrriM«lng I’twitlon of an English Member. Whatever may be said of English anil American addresses with reference to their matter, there is no doubt that the Briton is less ready and glib of speech than the Yankee. A speech in the house of commons is apt to be delivered with many “ah’s” and “awV* and repetitions; even famous ministers often seem to drag out their remarks word after word, w ith infinite labor. Nevertheless, the speeehes delivered in parliament, as reported, shorn of ail inarticulate bridges over sloughs in which the orator seemed hopelessly stuck, read as well, to saj- the least, as* the speeches in the congress of the l nited States. Even so great a man as Lord Palmerston, who was a statesman, but not an orator, sometimes fell into the hesitating methods. His great contemporary, Lord Brougham, was a far readier man. In a recent volume of reminiscences, Mrs. 8. E. De Morgan relates that she was once at a meeting in connection with the University col - | lege, London, at which Brougham and Palmerston were both present, Palmerston took the chair. He was j not so much at home in this learned lnxly as he would have been at West- ! minster, and was evidently anxious to ] adapt his remarks to the occaaion. So ! he began: ' “It has been said that a little ftnrn- j ing is a dangerous thing—ahem!—is a dangerous thing, but it is better than i —better than—” Here his lordship came to a dead stop. The audience was impatient, and | the pause was distressing. Lord Brougham sat next to Pal- | merston. He was wanting in reverence ; both for the occasion and for Palmers- j ton: and in a low tone, but in his pene j trating, squeaky voice, he came tp the ; speaker’s rescue. “letter than a great deal of ignore j a nee,'1 he suggested. This of coarse brought down the house; and during the langhter and cheers that followed. Lord Palmerston recovered the thread of his discourse and finished brilliantly.—Youth’s Companion. —The pss$ bat lives in words; a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts. —Boiwer.

FLOWERS SERVED AS FOOD. Strang* l'ie» to Which Bnds and Blossom h Are Put.* A dinner of a bunch of rosebuds would hardly be called a feast, and we should ihost likely be inclined to think ourselves trifled with if we were asked to dine upon the great growing- blossoms of a pumpkin vine. But in olden times some of the American Indians, notably the Aztecs, esteiemed these flowers,: when properly cooked, a great dainty. At the present day the natives of many parts of India depend for food upon the blossoms of the bassia tree. They do not even need to cook the flowers, but make a good meal of them raw, jti9t as they gather them Up under the trees, from which theyTall in great quantities during the night. i - The American pruggist describes the blossoms as sweet and sickly in odor and taste. Sometimes they are dried in the sun and are kept and sold in the bazars as a regular article of diet. The trees are so highly esteemed that the threat of cutting down their bassia trees will generally bring an unruly tribe to terms. This is hardly to be wondered at when it is understood that a single tree will yield from 200 to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees cook the flowers,, and also make sweetmeats of them; But, after all, we are not quite at liberty to smile at the flower-eating propensities of these strange peoples. | ' There is one flower afforded by our own gardens that finds a place freely upon our tables! We are apt to look upon the delicious cauliflower as a cabbage, but it is “the flower heads and flower stalks thht we eonsumd in the cauliflower, andi not the leaves, as in the case of the cabbage. He who eats a cauliflower is a flower eater as truly as the Parsee. Nobody would be inclined to deny that smoked fish and smoked meat ere agreeable varieties in our bill of fare, but few, perhaps, would feel ready to plead guilty to a taste for smoked flowers. And yet. when we give to the clove its well-earned place among our flavorings.^ we are making use of a smoked flower bud. The delicate peach-colored buds grow on a small evergreen and are ruthlessly plucked from the ends of the branches before they ha>ve had time to expand. Afterward they are dried In the sun. and then slightly Smoked over a wood fire. togive them the brown color we are familiar with.—Youth’? Companion. 1 The Diminution of Natality./ Anthropological societies are/much exercised oyer the fact that in Rome countries the death rate exceeds the birth rate to a degree that seems-to threaten a comparatively early termination of the life of the nation. For instance, out of the 86 departments into which France is divided, in 51 the deaths exceed the births. The annual natality for the whole country is only 23.7 for each 1,000 inhabitants, and this number includes the stillborn. In .order to remedy this progressive depopulation, the French Association for the Advancement of Science has set i itself to ascertain the causes of it. Er. E. Maurel pointed out that the birth rate is lowest in those departments where food is most abundant and eheajoest. The relation between these two facts he held to be the prevalence of hereditary arthritic diathesis (uric acid diath^j sis), leading tq diminution of repror ductive vigor in both sexes. This diathesis arises from excessive alimentation. Another speaker. Dr. Pomerol, attributed the dimished natality to voluntary restriction, while others suggested the Increase of religious celibacy, the laws relating to the division of property, the lateness of marriages and the decreased reprot uctiveness of women.—St. Louis Republic.
