THE MAN WOLF.
While with the animal hunters in the
jungles and foothills to the uorth'of Benares
we heard of a man wolf. On two former'oc-
casions we had received like reports, but
had given little attention to them. The
superstitious natives of India have many
strange beliefs. One of them is that, a
brother who has murdered a brother turns
into a man wolf, and roams the jungles 100
years as a penance. While they hold this
animal in fear and terror, as well they may,
they reason that if he is killed, another rela-
tive of the family must take his place and
serve out the remainder of his sentence.
Therefore, while they would talk to us of
these monsters, they were always very care-
ful not to locate them and bring them into
danger. W'e had long before made up our
minds that there was nothing so very queer
in finding a wild man in the jungles of India.
Children are carried off by semi-wild men or
wild animals almost daily, and even the
civilized countries have their wild men roam-
ing through the forests. “’0 were willing to
pay a round sum for the capture of a man
wolf, believing he would turn out to be only
a wild man, but at the same time a greater
curiosity than a gorilla.
We had been making our headquarters in
p village for several days, baiting our traps
for hyenas and having natives on the lookout
for serpents, when one mid-afternoon I got
into a hammock slung between two trees on
the outskirts of the village and dropped off
to sleep. My two white men were already
asleep in hammocks some distance away, and
such of the natives as were not out for us
were lying by to pass the heat of the day.
There were two or three children playing at
lihe door of a but near me, but making little
or no noise. It was as quiet as if a spell had
been placed upon every inhabitant. I had
not slept over half an hour when a. mosquito
bit me on the cheek and started me up. I lay
on my right side, and through the meshes of
the hammock could see the edge of the jun-
gle, about forty rods away. The children
were still at play, and were a hundred feet
nearer the jungle than I was. Almost as
soon as I opened my eyes I saw a dark object
leap from the cover of tho thicket to the
shelter of a single bush on the cleared
ground. It looked to me in the brief glimpse
I had like a gorilla. I measured the leap
afterward with a tape line, and it was
twenty—three feet.
I did not start up, but rubde my eyes
wide open to identify the strange creature.
It had cowcred until I could see nothing but
a black spot, and it was wo or three min-
utes before it moved again. Then it sud-
denly leaped into view, bounded for the
children exactly as a monkey leaps, and be-
fore I could call out it had. seized a little boy
about two and a half years old, and‘ was re-
treating with him. It was on its hind legs,
both arms around the child, and running
with great swiftness. The body was naked
and hairy, but I was convinced that it was
that of a human being. I yelled out. and
the creature whirled about, raised the child
on high, and, with a shrill scream of anger,
dashed it down on the bard baked earth with
terrible force. Then it shook its fists at the
villagers swarming out, and, dropping down
on all fours, bounded away into the jungle.
W'e found the child gasping its last. That
fling had broken almost every bone in his
body. It was not until the villagers wegc
_ convinced that I had seen the creature and
was assured of its identity that the head man
acknowledged it to be a man wolf, and that
it had long been a menace to the locality. It
was, he said, his cousin, who had killed a
brother fifteen years before. As the creature
bad now killed three children, against whom
it seemed to have a particular spite, and as
its presence menaccd the safety of tho vil-
lage, he would give his consent for us to seek
its capture. I helped him to reach this con-
clusion by a present valued at $20, and by
agreeing not to give the matter away in any
other village.
The first thing to be done was to learn the
habits of the creature. He was known to eat
meat, roots, barks and almost anything else
which came in his way. He must sleep, but
no one could say when, as he had been seen
prowling around at all hours of the day and
night. He was very strong and fierce, and
it was doubted if one of the tiger cages
would hold him. “’6 decided to tempt his
curiosity, and, to this end, one of our cages
was placed in the jungle, and the door so ar-
ranged as to shut the creature in if be but
entered. But he took no notice of the curl-
osity, or, if he did, it was to‘iight shy of the
suspected trap. Twice in three days he was
seen again 011 the borders of the village, evi—
dently bent on further mischief, and the na:
tives finally found a path which the man
wolf used in going and coming from a water
hole. As soon as they came in with the news,
we started out to set a different trap for him.
The steel traps to catch wild animals have no
teeth, and the jaws come together in a way
to give one :1. leverage on the other. I
have known of :2 full grown tiger being
caught by the foot and firmly held in a trap

inch rope made of native grasses, and as
soon as a suitable spot had been selected we
excavated 11 hole. buried the trap out of
sight, and 1111-11 bent down a sapling and tied
the end of lhc rope to it. This sapling was
bold dawn by a trigger, which a sharp pull
would release.
When the trap had been set no eye could
detect anything suspicious around the spot,
and we felt certain that the creature would
get into trouble if he passed that way. When
we could do no more we retired to the vil-
lage, about a mile away, It was about sun-I
down when we arrived, and we were just in
time to see a wonderful proceeding. A large
and savage looking hyena came out of the
jungle and sniffed and suuil‘cd and growled
at us from a distance of about twenty rods.
\Ve refrained from shooting, for fear the
reports would frighten the man wolf away,
and while a hundred of us stood gazing at the
beast another suddenly appeared. It was
the same creatute I saw from the hammock.
“It is the man wolf l” moaned a score {of
natives in chorus, and at leastadozcn of them
11le away into their huts.
But the beast had not ,comc to disturb us.
He had evidently been tracking the hyena,!
and he was there for revenge. Ho bounded
over the ground with great leaps, and the‘
hycna did not suspect his approach. The last
bound was a tremendous curve in the air, and,
as the man wolf came down it was full .upon'
the hyena’s back. He uttered a terrible
scream as he struck, and the byena gave vent
to something like a shriek. They rolled over
and over on the ground, biting, clawing,
growling and gurgling, but the fight did not
last over sixty seconds. Then the man wolf
sprang up, shook himself, ’and littered a ycll.
of triumph, and after threatening us for 11
couple of minutes re-cntcred the jungle. We
went out to the body of the hyena, and its
condition gave us a strong idea of the man
wolf’s fighting powers. One car was torn off,
both eyes plucked out, two legs broken, its
tongue bitten nearly off, and it had several
horrible gashes in the belly. It was plain that
the. creature was a match for lion or tiger,
and we began to feel very uneasy. By the
advice of the bead man we built several extra
fires and kept a sharp lookout.
“The fellow is evidently very angry,” ex-
plained the old man. “You are white men,
and he is not pleased at your coming. Per-
haps he has been told you are here to capture
him.”
“But who could have told him?”
“He had a Cousin who was turned into a
vulture for striking his father, and another
cousin who was turned into a serpent for
cursing our faith. Either one may have car-
ried the man wolf the news.”
“’6 placed sentinels on the wath when
ready to turn in, but everything passed off
quietly until about midnight. Then a suc-
cession of shrieks and screams and roars
brought every” man, woman and child out of
sleep with a bound. I had no other thought
than that the man wolf had seized one of the
sentincls, but as I leaped out of the but one
called to me:
“Sahib, you have caught the beast in your
trap 1"
It was a mile, as I have told you, from the
village to the spot where we had set the trap,
and yet the screams seemed close at hand.
\Vhen the news went round that there was
no danger the village soon quieted down, but
there was no further sleep for any one.
\Vhether caught or not, the creature seemed
fastened to one locality for the remainder of
the night, and of all the proceedings I ever
- knew a wild beast to engage in his were the
worst. He had a voice as strong as a lion‘s,
and he was not quiet for two minutes at a
time. He roared, screamed, shrickcd, la-
mented and growled, and the wind brought
us every sound. He still had a full head of
steam on when daylight came, and after a
hasty breakfast a party of twenty of us
moved in his direction. He probably heard
as coming, for his anger was freshly aroused,
and pretty soon we could hear him tearing at
the bushes.
I am free to say that the first sight of the
man wolf, caught by the hind foot in the
trap, and hanging head downward from the
swaying sapling, took the courage out of me
sooner than as if I had met a tiger face to
face or. the path. Ho hung about three feet
from the earth, and as far as he could reach
in every direction he had pulled up the
bushes by the roots. He wasias 's_u pie as ‘a
sunken and could doublahinéélfrmem

he could get to the rope, and the way he hit
There was a foot of chain before '
on that chaininmle us hold our breaths. Had ,
it been of soft iron I have no doubt he would .
have cut it in two.
He had been caught I
when we first heard him Scream out, and had i
been suspended for over four hours. You
would have thought he would be exhausted f
with pain and struggling, but he was not.
As soon as we came near him he made such 1
tremendous effort to get away, or to get at
us, that all the natives fled in terror.
“'0 quickly understood that we could do
nothing with the beast until he had lost his 1
strength and temper, and we returned to the
village and left him hanging. All that day
he yelled out every two or three minutes,
and all that night we heard from him at in-
tervals. On the second morning he was still
ugly, but late in the afternoon hunger and
pain mastered him. We brought up a. cage,
got three or four ropes around him, and flu-
ally made him a prisoner. His foot and leg
were terribly swollen, and he made but little
resistance.
“"0 now had opportunity to look him over.
He was certainly a man wolf—that is, a na-
tive child had been carried off when young
and brought ,up with the wild beasts for
twenty years or more. This creature had a
human face and form, but the body was cov-
ered with coarse hair, the teeth were long,
the hands out of shape, and he had learned to
go as a four footed animal. He was indeed
a horrible looking sight, but the worst fea—
ture about him was his eyes. No true wild
beast ever saw through a more ugly pair.
There was a villainous squint to them and
the balls seemed to be aflmne. “T0 were c011-
gratulating ourselves on his easy capture
when the head man replied:
“Wait a bit. \Vait until his strength re-
turns. You will never get him an ay from
here.”
\Vo drew the cage to the village and gave
the beast food and water. He readily ac-
cepted both, and his conduct was as humble
as we could desire. He was hiding his time,
however. On the third day he minutely ex—
amined the construction of the cage and
tested every bar. He did this when he
thought he was unobserved. On the fifth day
he began to snarl and growl and show his
temper, and on the sixth we started off with
him, the cage being dragged by twelve na-
tives. Everything went well up to noon,
when we stopped for a rest and a bite to cat.
As all were sitting down the man wolf sud-
denly sprang out of a corner where he had
been sulking, seized a bar in either hand, and
with a tremendous effort wrenchcd them out.
One be retained for a weapon as he leaped to
the earth. It was so sudden that no one was 3
prepared. He did not seek escape, but rc-
veugc, and before we could pick up our guns
and open fire he had killed three of the na-
tives and severely wounded two others. He
was still laying about him screaming with
rage when one of the white men gave him a
charge of buckshot and ended his career. Ho
had struck only single blows, and yet each
one had been hard enough to cripple or kill.
But for our guns he would have killed every
man in the party—New York Sun.

Some of his employee noticed that one man
came frequently for the pictures, asking for
three or four sets at once. They were glad
to give them to bun, for the cards were only
used as advertiscmcn‘w and of course they
wanted as many as po :blc distributed. This
stranger, however, came so often that their
curiosity was aroused, and they took some
pains to find out who he was. They found
that he was a picture frame maker who was
framing the cards in such a way as to hide
the advertisement, and was doing a flourish-
ing business, selling them at $53 a set."——Ncw

CALIFORNIA’S GOLD.
HOW THE MINERS SWEATED ANDE
DIED FOR IT 1850-60.
A Lifetime of Blasted Hopes for Thou-
sands ‘Vlm cht the States Full of Ex-
pectancy—«Plenty of Gold Left—Indi-
cations.
Taken from 1850 to 1860 the great majority
of diggers (lid not, in my belief, average $1
per day for their work and time. There
was often so much time used up before the
actual gold bearing earth could be worked
or washed. Men worked one, two, and some-
times threc years in digging ditches to get
water on their claims. Water is almost as
necessary for gold workings as is air for
human breathing. Ditches had to bb dug
(canals would be the more appropriate name)
over 100 miles in length to tap the snow fed
streams in the highest Sierras. Digging up
there in places was of no avail. There was
little to dig in, and the water was in places
brought in immense fiumes, bolted to the
sides of precipiccs 200-feet from the valley
below. In rivcr mining years were some-
times spent in blasting races through a quar-
ter of a mile of flinty rock, and then, when
the river bed was finally laid bare, littlo gold
was found. In river mining certainly one
claim out of three proved a total failure. On
dry, upland surface diggings men spent
years “waiting for vatcr,” that is, waiting
either for the promised ditch to be com-
pleted, or waiting fos the winter rains. How
did they live? Perhaps by packing buckets
of dirt half a mile to the nearest creek or
river and there washing it. Or by “rocking
out" a dollar or two a day from the oft
turned over gravel on some river's banks.
And a miserable, squalid life it was for their
sands who had come out from the states full
of the expectancy of returning ‘home in five
years at least with a “pile,” and marry the
girl left behind.
But they stayed ten and fifteen and twenty
years in cabins which here would not be
deemed fit for stables, cooking for them-
selves, washing for themselves, forgetting
what it was to sleep in clean sheets or any
other kind; living on tough beef, beans and
bacon, working like packhorscs summer and
winter; getting yearly more gray and
grizzled and angular; looking year after
year on the same gloomy, sterile, chaparral
covered hillside, their only recreation the
Sunday trip to the nearest store or camp for
their provisions, where they might or might
not, but generally did, wind up with more
or less of a drunk, and then for two, three
or five miles over hill and down gulch
trudge home again. Little wonder they got
drunk. It was the only method 0 getting
temporary relief from a lifetime 0 blasted
hopes—the only salve to apply to the old
longing for their eastern homes. These were
the men whose eastern relatives sometimes
thought strangely of because they did not
make or send home money. Most of them
now are buried and enriching the soil they
dug in. Many of them are in nameless and
unknown graves. Many wont insane. Some-
times one was left, the only resident “on the
Bar." Then it would be reported that Smith
was acting queerly, and Smith’s next transi-
tion would be to the county hospital and
from thence to one of California’s two insane
nsylums.
Is there much gold yet in California?
Lots of it. Lots of it, though, where you
must putadollar and a half in to get one
dollar out. Lots of it in places where, after
you dig a certain depth, you meet too much
rock to blast and ho‘ out and water to
pump ’out. Like Springfield Flat
Tuolumnc county—a geological curiosity——
a. plain a mile square, out of which all the
red pay dirt has in former years been taken
to a depth of ten or twelve feet, leaving ex-
posed great knobs and ridges of reddish rock,
washed and worn by some great water power
untold ages ago into fantastic shapes. These
are all really loose bowlders from the size of
asmall church down. They are of marble.
Break off a piece and the fracture under the
yellowish red of the outside is as white asloaf
sugar. Rich gold, and plenty of it, has been
taken from Springfield Flat. It was worth
nearly $10 per ounce, when Tuolumne River
gold brought but $17. But Springfield Flat
could never be bottomed on account of the
enormous bowlders so strangely piled in
there and the water bcsidc, though the nug-
gets grew bigger as they worked down into
the crevices. It is on the “bowldcr range."
This is a remarkable underground geological
freak, running many miles in southern Cali-
fornia, of great bowlders similarly piled on
each other, and in places, as at Vallecito,
where shafts were sunk in it, the bottoms
have tumbled out and revealed subterranean
strcsnns running underneath.
There are ranges of low hills bordering the
S1111 Joaquin valley in Mcrced, Stanislaus
and adjoining counties. where small “pros-
pects" of gold may be obtained. There are
111ilcs of these “washed gravel” mounds. But
save in rainy weather, when the water comes
right down on the spot where you want to
use it, there is little working these placcrs to
any pr: lit. What with digging and carting
the dirt half a mile or more to the river and
there washing it, and possibly being under
the necessity of “paddling” it before you can
wash it, there is more than a. dollar spent in
getting 11 dollar out. Yet gold licsin those
hills—lots of it, could you get it out in a
lump. And there is many another deposit
locked up in California's hills and mountains
which lime may reveal, but to look for it
now is to look for the needle in 1111 acre of
liaystzwks.
This side of the “Rockies” has never been
“pi-ospccicd” for gold so thoroughly as the
other. There nine-tenths of the first settlers
have been miners more or loss. “'hatevcr
their occupation, they have kept an eye open
for “surface indications,” and a pick and pan
handy to test gravel for gold whenever they
had leisure and watcr to wash it. As a re-
sult, from Cariboo to Mexico scarce a gulch
exists that a white man has visited but that
has felt the good seeking miner‘s pick. On
this sidc,’and especially at the extreme cast,
an idea prevails that because it is an older
settled country it can have no unknown min-
eral deposits. Few people here know how to
prospector wash a pan of dirt. Gold dust
may be in your door yard for ages and give
no sign of its presence, and many people
wouldn’t know what it was if it did—Pren-

Varieties of Hay Fever.
Hay fever is'not ha y fever at all in most

that the varieties of fl; is fever are scores, if

Dress According to the'TVeathex}
The great trouble with most men and one
of the reasons why you hear them complain
so frequently of sickness is that they do not
know how to dress to meet the requirements
of the weather. Men wear the same weight
of underclothing all through a season, with-
out any reference whatever to the daily,
changes of weather. I know lots of men
who carry their heavy fiannels on their backs
from September to July and never think of
putting on light underclothing until the ex-
treme heat of summer is upon them. Now
this is all wrong. I believe in changes of
clothing for changes of weather. Thick

IN UNITED STATES CURRENCY.
View of the Practical Department where Students are‘ engaged in actual business opera-
tions, including the Retail, \Vholcsalc, Jobbing and Commission, and Banking Business;
the business of one office alone averaging from 'l'wcuty to Forty Thousand Dollars, per
day in College funds, or $50 to $100 in U. S. currency.
This is the manner in which our Students are taught to shoulder the responsibili-
ties of handling thousands of dollars in their business life.
This institution has graduated more successful business men than all other business
schools in the State combined. Bank presidents and other prominent and practical busi-
ness men who have made a careful inspection of the College and its several departments,
and especially the banking depmtmcnt, where the books and methods are the same as
those found in any National Bank in the country, concede that no College
. in this country. offers superior facilities to persons seek-
ing a business education.
WE INVITE THE CLOSEST SCRUTINY
Into the details of our system of practical business training, and do not fear a comparison
with that of any similar institution in the country. “'13 do not recognize as competitors
those institutions which, without an abiding place or the necessary facilities for imparting
a thorough business education, are constantly presenting their claims for patronage. \Vc
invite any person contemplating a business. education to visit our College and inspect our
method of instruction and be convinced of its superiority.
SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITINC.
We desire to callspccial attention to this new department. A special teacher is em-
ployed, whose whole time is devoted to instruction in this branch, thereby clinbling Stu-

THE FER-DE-LANCE.
THE TERRIBLE REPTILE WHICH
REIGNS IN MARTINIQUE.
The Deadly Serpent much Is Lord of tho
Forcsts and Solitndcs by Day, and tho
Terror of Roads and Parks by Night——
The Cat Its Most Formidablc Enemy.
.Nature is dangerous here; the powers that
here life and death are perpetually inter-
changing oiiico in the never ceasing transfor-
mation of forces, melting down and reshap-
ing living substance simultaneously within
the same awful crucible. There are trees dis-
fillingr venom; there are plants that have
fangs; there are perfumes that affect the
brain; there are cold green creepers whose
touch consumes ilesll like fire; while in all
‘1 the recesses and the shadows is'a swarming
of unfamiliar life, beautiful 01' hideous—in-
sect, rcptilc, bird~-intcrwarring, devouring,
observing, praying. Strange spiders of
burning colors, immense lizards, scaribs
cull-.sszd in all tints of metal, humming-
birds plumngcd in all splendor of jewcl radi-
a111-c,iiics that flash like fire, centlpedes of
gigantic growth. And the lord of all these,
the despot of these vast domains, is the ter-
rible Fer-dc-lanco, the trigonocephalus, tho
Bothrops lanceolatus, tho craspodcccphalus,
deadliest of Occidental thanatophidia.
There are eight var1ctics of him, the most
common being the gray speckled with black,
precisely the color that enables the monster
to hide himself among the roots of the trees
by simply coiling about them and concealing
his triangular head. Sometimes he is a bean-
, tiful ilmvcrycllow; then he may never be
distinguished from the. branch of bright ba-
nanas-111110113 which he bangs coiled; or he
may be a dark yellow, or a yellowish brown,
or the color of wine lees speckled with pink
and black, or a perfect ash tint, or black with
a yellow belly, or black with a rose belly——
all lines of tropical mold, of old bark, of
putrcfying trees, of forest detritus.
of the eye in orange, with red flushes; at
night it glows like incandescent charcoal.
And the fer-1lc-1ancc reigns absolute king
over the mountains and the ravines; he is
lord of the forests and the solitudes by day,
and by night he. extends his dominion over
the public roads, the familiar paths, the
parks, the pleasure resorts. People must rc-
:=‘ l.’)lilO after dark unless they dwell in
.11; ifself ; if you happen to be out visit-
ing after sunset, only a mile from town, your
friends will caution you anxiously not to fol—
low tho boulevard as you go back, and to
lzeEp m1 closcl y as possible to the very center
of the path. Even in the brightest noon you
cannot venture to enter the woods uncscortcd;
you cannot trust your eyes to detect danger;
at any moment a seeming branch, a knot of
lianas, a pink or gray root, a clump of pen-
dant yellow fruit, may suddenly take life,
writhc, swell, stretch, spring, strike. Then
you will need aid indeed, and most quickly;
for within the space of a few heartbeats
the stricken ilesh chills, tunefies, softens,
changes color spots violaccouzly, and an icy
coldness crawls through all the blood. If
the physician or the pauseur arrives in the,
and no artery or vein has been directly
pierced, there is hope; but the danger is not
passed when the life has been saved. Ne—
crosis of the tissues begins; the flesh corrupts,
tattcrs, tumbles from the bone; and the
colors of its putrefaction are frightful mock-
eries of the hues of vegetable death, of forest
decomposition, the ghastly pinks and grays
and yellows of rotting trunks and roots melt-
ing back into the thick fetid clay that gave
them birth. You molde'r as the trees
molder; you crumble and dissolve as dis-
solves tho substance of the balatas and the
palms and thc acomats: the Death-of—the-
Woods has seized upon you!
And this pestilence that walkcth in dark-
ness, this destruction that wasteth at noon-
day, may not be exorciscd. Each female
produces viviparously from forty to sixty
young at a birth. The haunts of the crea-
ture arc in many cases inaccessible, inexplor—
able; its multiplication is prodigious; it is
‘ only the surplus of its swarming that over-
pours into the cane fields, and makes the
high roads perilous after sunset, yet to des-
troy threc or four hundred thanatophidia on
a single small plantation during the lapse of
twelve months has not been uncommon. The
introduction of the mangoustc (the iclmeu-
mon) may, it is hoped, do much toward pro—
tecting the workers in the cane fields and on
the cocoa and coffee plantations; but the
mangouste’s powers are limited, and the
ocean of death is illimitablc.
The experience of fear has enabled domes-
tic animals to discern the presence of the
enemy while invisible to man. Your horse
rears and plunges in the darkness, trembles
and sweats; do not try to ride on until you
are assuredlhc way is clear—your animal
has perceived far ahead two scintillating
points, two moving sparks of fire. 01' your
dog may come rumn’ng back, whining, shiv-
ering; accept his warning. T he animals
kept about country residences have learned
to fight for their lives; the hen battles hope—
lessly for her chickens, the bull tries to gore
his supple enemy, the pig gives more suc-
cessful coinbatflgut the creature who fears
the monster least is the brave cat. Seeinga

swiftcr" ll the strong stroke of the armed

'thelcs~:, pumy does not yet dare to spring;
the enemy, still active, has almost in-
stantly reformed his coil; but she is again
in front of him, watching—vertical pupil
against vertical pupil. Again the lash-
ing stroke; again the beautiful counter-
ing; the living death is hurled aside, the
scaled skin is deeply torn, one eye socket has
ceased to flame. Once more the stroke of the
serpent; once more the light, quick, cutting
blow. But now the trigonoce halus is blind,
is stupefied; before he can . emptito coil,
pussy has leaped upon him, nailing the hor-
rible flat head fast to the ground with her
two sinewy paws. Now let him lash, writhe,

lies still; the fine white teeth have severed
the vertebrm just behind the triangular
skull—Lafacadio Hcarn in Harper’s Maga~

Lady Salisbury.
Lady Salisbury is a very blue blooded per-
sonage, indeed. She has her political salon
and dinners and receptions, at which nothing
less than state etiquette is observed. Arlington
house is just' off St. J amcs’ street, backing
on to Green park, near Piccadilly, and it is
the shrine at which all good Tdrics, and most
notables in literature, science and art, gladly
,do social homage. They say that Lady Sal-
isbury once publicly boasted that she had
never set foot in a \Vhig drawing room, but
that may be an invention of the enemy,
though not very improbable.
