A TERROR TO RANCHMEN.
•‘Bigfoot,” ths Giant Grizzly, and Lia
Costly Depredations.
“Bigfoot,” according to a recent
dispatch to the New York World, is
eu the rampage again. and the cat-*
tlemen of W est Idaho county, Idaho,
from the Snake to the Salmon river
are up in arms agmiinst him.
“Bigfoot” is the famous giant priz- .
zly who has been tin terror of cattle
owners throughout all that country
for years,
Nearly twice the sizeofan ordinary
grizzly, “Bigfoot'’ for years has levied!
his tribute of prime steers and no one
lias been found brave enough or clever
enough to catch or kill him.
With a single blow of his giant paw
he kills thi largest and best animal
ne can unci ana He -visually taxes mtj
pick of a herd. He makes a single
jneal of the animal, and it is usually
a meal that would provide a camp
full of men for a week, and disap
j>ears, never to return to that locality
again that seasop.
A standing offer of $1,500 w as once
placed upon “BigfootV head and
there is still hag money for the man
that killshim. Yet so ft rociou> -1his
great creature that the hravest hunt-,
era hesitate to show thomsedves w hen
“Bigfoot” is about, lit- is as cunning
in the handling of men as he is in the
picking of a steer for dinner, and
many a narrow escape is recorded by
those who have had the ill-luck to get
into the same neighborhood with
him.
“Bigfoot V depredation? in the sev
eral years that he has been operating
in the Salmon river country amount
fo many thousands of dollars. 11 s
presence ip the vicinity of -a ranch is
sufficient to set the herds in a state
of excitement bordering on panicand
the cattlemen themselves hear of his
appearnee with dismal countenances
gnd assurance*' of days and nights of
trouble.
The grizzly’s laat appearance was
pear the little cattle town of White
bird, where he kept the entire popu
lation on tenterhooks for days, took a
couple of expensive meals and then
departed with half a dozen desperate
but teyrified hunters on his trail.

JOKE WAS TOO REALISTIC.
__—
Comedian Himself Fooled When He
Thought to Fool the Audience.
Tht properties that are used on the
burlesque stage are not always coun
terfeit, although there is a popular
idea that stage whisky is generally
cold tea, that stage butter is a thick
' piixture of yellow corn meal and water
i and that stage milk is never anything
I hut chalk and water. The people in
the front row of a local theater re
cently had it demonstrated to them
that the milk used in a bottle had once
been.the real tiling, and they had rea
son to regret that the property man
had not followed the usual rule of
manufacturing the article out of
chalk and water. *
The comedian had been in the habit
of doing an effective bit of acting with
a large rag baby dressed up to re
semble a real child, and a Labe'.'nurs
ing bo;tle tilled with a substance re
sembling milk. No one in the audi
ence thought it was milk ami neither
did the comedian himself. He had
been handling the bottle for weeks
and had not noticed that tlu cork was
getting loose. Several nights ago it
occurred to the comedian that he
could make his part funnier by let- :
ting the cork out of the bottle and al
lowing some of the “milk" to escape !
ns Ik went t hmiiph his usual motions
in extracting laughter from the
crowd.
The comedian was much more suc
cessful t han he had any idea he \vi tild
he, for when the cork came out of the
buttle a considerable amount of its
contents came also, in chunks, and
with an odor which was stronger even
than that of limburger cheese. The
Comedian dodged back from the stage
as quickly as possible, his hand to his
Iium\ and the chorus girl* carefully
avoided the spot on the stage where
the milk had fallen. A -> soon as the
comedian had linished his part lie
made a bee line for the property man
in the wings, w ho was m sponsible for
the contents of the bottle.
‘‘Why didn’t you tell me that you
had real milk in that bottle?"’ de*
manded the comedian, indignantly.
‘‘Because, 1 never thought ytu‘d bo
fool enough to let the cork out," said
the property man with equal heat. ‘‘1
filled that bottle with milk when we
were at Buffalo, eight wt < ks ago. and
it would have- done well enough if
you’d only had sense « ro ugh to keep
the cork in. Of course, you can’t ex
pect milk to keep sw\et bottled up far
tight works. and nobody but a thick
headed Irish eu median would expect
it. I’ve got to go and buy another
pint of milk i w to fill ut) that la tile
vith. and this si o\v ain't making any
too much money anyway. Its idiots
like you who spoil the properliis in
allow.- and break them up in busi
Ei si#.”
Theemswer of the property man for
the time being com])! Uely squelched
the unfortunate comedian, and he in
wardly resolved to investigate all
properties before he attempted to in
troduce any originality into the act he
had been performing for Ik years:—

A PLEASANT CHANGE.
Fewer Sparrows and More Song Birds
Noticed in Capital City.
*‘A.> the sparrows grow le^ in mini- j
bers in this city tlie song !»iid< ®n~ j
crease, observed one of the men who
have spent ycais in looking after the
parks of the city, aeti rdii g to the
■\Vathingt nSiar. “1 supp< -eyou have
noticed at Jeu.-t the advent of the I
eongshrs if you have n<d had called 1
to mind that the r.< i.-\ sparrow is not j
so much in ev idencein the streets and
parks of the city as was-formerly the |
ease? The one is the eati.-e and the
ollu r the ilKet. for I believe that ii
has been pretty well established that
wium the sparrow sate numerous birds
of tho smaller species art. noticeable
for their absence.
“The change is certainly a pleasant
one, 1 should think, in place, of the j
strident chatter of the sparrow to
hvar^iie sweet notes of the robins
and other song birds. The otlw r day
1 noticed a bi.uk bird hopping over1
the grass of the parks in starch of
worms, and time ate other varieties
of hirtb which i n l seen, and to
some extent rtudiul without going

“At this time of tl.i yiarthc worms

three men with lantern.-, going over
the grass and picking up the worms

TO REVITALIZE AIR.
Experiments Made to Accomplish It by
Artificial Means.
I)r. Desgrez, j>rofc>sor of the fac
ulty of medicine, Paris., and M. Bait
hazard, house surgeon of one of the
hospitals there, have just presented
to the Academy of science an appar
atus embodying a remarkable and im
portant discovery, says the London
News. It is claimed that by means
of it it will be possible to maintain life
in the most poisonous atmosphere,
to enter rooms full of dense smoke or
pits full of noxious gases, without
j hurt or discomfort. Some particulars
of this discovery are given by Dr,
Desgrez himself in an interview pub
lished in the Eclair, lie says:
“The reagent needed to regenerate
| the air vitiated by the confinement of
i an animal in an inclosed space had
to he of such a kind that it would not
only liberate the necessary oxygen
and absorb the carbonic acid, but
would also destroy the poisonous sub
stances called by -M M.-Brown-Sequard
and d’Ar'sonvu! ‘pulmonary poison,
Now bioxide of sodium decomposes
in cold by the action of water, produc
ing oxygen on the one hand and on
i the other soda, a powerful alkali. This
| latter takes up the carbonic acid as
| soon, as it is formed, and, moreover,
; as in the process of decomposition,
I the chemical employed is possessed of
powerful oxidizing properties,the poi*
| so nous products of respiration are
( also destroyed.
“In the experiments undertaken
the subjects' were in. the first place
guinea pigs and dogs, though later the
two investigators experimented on
each other. The animals were each
confined under a hermetically sealed
I bell, near them being placed a quan
I tity cf bioxide of sodium, so arranged
I that water might be dropped upon it
( slowly and constantly. In all cases ;
1 it wa- found that by employing the
bioxide life could he maintained un
der condition? which othetwise it
| would have been impossible. The ap
paratus consisted of a kind of suit,
I suggesting a diver’s dress, in which
| the principle thus demonstrated is j
\ embodied. Dr. Desgrez say.* that 120 ,
i gram? of bioxide of sodium suffice to !
regenerate the atmosphere breathed
in the space of an hour. It is hoped
that the discovery will he of great
service in mining disasters, fires, etc,
THE GLOVE-FITTING CLERK.
• Why He Has Forearms Like Those of a
Blacksmith.
A Johnnie was sitting Lcf. re the
counter of a Montgomery haberdash
er's the other day. Ills elbow was at
an extreme angle on a velvet tush
: ion, and the clerk behind the counter
| wa? straining and tugging at the fin
gers of a light gray glove, which he
was forcing on to the Johnnie’s up
turned hand. “That must take a
good deal of muscle,” remarked the
j chappy, noting the exercise which the
; clerk was undergoing.
“Muscle!” ejaculated the clerk.
“Just feel my forearm. Do you know
how many pairs of gloves 1 have fit
ted on this week?”
“Fifty,” said the Johnny, on a
hazard.
“Fifty!” said the clerk, scornfully. |
lhre-e Hundred and twelve, i hat s
; dead straight and an actual count,
No wonder 1 have a forearm like a
: coal heaver and a back like an oars
j man. The titting on of gloves is one
of the best exercises in the world.
You s* e you have to lean far forward
over thecounter.and the steady down
ward pressure of the fingers is a bet
ter exercise than any gymnasium
course you eve*r saw. It would sur
prise you to know what athletic crea
tures the glove girls in the shops all
! over town are. It’s a ease of the sur
! vival of the fittest and the girl who
can't stand the pre-s-ure getsa job at
! the ribbon counter.”
“It’s a wonder that more clerks
i don't take up prize-fighting/'said the
! Johnnie.
“That wouldn't he genteel,” said
the clerk. “But if you think every
clerk is an effete and delicate Lizzie,
just because he tries on your gloves,
you had better feel hi- muscle end
take another think.”—San Francisco
