A COWARDLY GRIZZLY MOTHER.
Mio Urnrrtt I lor Cob U lien Ilotljr Pur
- tunl by Hunter.
After rr'stintf my horse a few minutes I
vei:t on, and laid not j;oiio far when 1 bw
in the distance three black ohjects, which,
njon examination with my field KlasK, I
took to lte hnlfaloes lyinn qniftly in tlie
trrii.ss tijion the pniirie. As the wind was
lihvlni( from me directly toward them I
win obliged to make a, loan detour to Ret
upon the opposite sidv, when 1 met one of
my .Mexican hnntcr.s, who had discovered
and was point; for the hamo animals I was
in pursuit of.
We united our forces nnd advanced
within lille rante, when the animals
jiiinp"d ii, jiikI to our astonishment
proved to he ti larjre urizzly hear with
two well thrown culw. 'J'he instant they
di-icov.-red us they nil started olT rapidly,
a.'il we after them, at a sieed which soon
brought us iicar enouprh t K've shots, but
owinj to the frant ie pi anoint; and tnrg
ifi:; of mr frightened horses, to say noth
imj of our own pertttrbation, neither of
our s.hots took effect, and 1 doubt if even
HufTnlo 1 III!, with till his masterly eques
trian lairoitiicss, nnd his skill in rifle
. Looting, eotihl, under the circumstances,
Ik'Vd ma.le. much better shots than ours.
As we were obliged to stop and re
charge our loin; muzzle loading rifles, this
gave the bears time to get considerably
th'. start of us. V.'e, however, pooh closed
the gap .and gave another shot that in
flicted a slight llcsh wound upon the darn,
at which she net up ti vociferous growl
jit.il pluna'ed ahead, leading her cubs be
hinl. (Jiving u hasty diruction for the
Mi .i"an to attend to the cubs, I pushed
on alter the old one, which v: ut this
time ;i good deal in advance, and going at
In r bet speed, while the panic stricken
v. helps were giving utterance to the most
plaintive cries, which were heard by the
mother, but sb'j continued on, and my
hor.-c put forth, his utmost efforts for at
Ici'st two miles before we came up with
her.
In the meantime the cubs continued
ti.eir inces.au t cries, at which the dam
wiiuld occasionally turn round, sit up and
!!!; back, but as aoon tis she saw me
comim; : he rcs'.imed her running, and
this w;is repeated severni times, until I
came near her, and galloped along for
fume distance by her Fide, but even this
close proximity did not induce her to turn
upon me, or lo make the slightest demon
stration of lioi-lility.
Her voir, purpose was to escnpe, and to
i 'Tact this feha deserted her offspring in
tin a-ost cowardly manner. AVhen 1 had
sati.;!icd my curiosity regarding her ag
gressive proclivities 1 gave her a shot
back of the shoulder, which caused her to
turnaround and walk slowly back with
her head down, severely wounded, but
another tliot in the head brought her to
the ground, an 1 after taking off one of
her paws, as a trophy, I returned tocamp,
v. litre I found the Mexican, who had
lassoed the two cubs, and driven them
before his horse nearly livo miles, while
they continued their piercing tcreams all
the way. Indeed, they kept up their
cries during the entire night, eo that the
man got but little sleep and obliged us to
have them killed the next morning.

The uncovered seals on the shady side,
especially those affected by the youth and
students of the town, were closely packed
with heads in ranks like the seeds in an
ear of maize. The less crowded places on
the sunny side wero occupied by busy
knots of press reporters, by country folks,
by ' hundred or more of Andulusians, in
manner nnd dress a grotesque caricature
of the toiero of hard worked artisans seek
ing in this wild orgie of excitement some
respite from the dreary round of labor.
The distinguished society of mctaderos,

The (7m of Novel.
The use of reading Is to lighten fie
load of life and to open vistas of thought
which otherwise would be closed to us.
Noliody who has any sense wants to go to
school again ni I "stodge" himself with
mere information. There are, of course,
persons who yearn to learn the names of
the kings of Judah in their proper order,
and to hear how blacking is made; but
they are no better for it when they have
acquired the knowledge, even if (as ofteu
hapien:) they arc not seized with a dis
tressing desire to impart it to their fellow
creatures. It has been whispered to me
by persons moving in intellectual circles
that the effect of even "the higher cult
ure" is not necessarily exhilarating. It
may improve the mind without improving
the man, and ns a companion in fact it
often leaves him duller than it found him,
lecauso he has been educated beyond his
wits. The mind of man is very curious
nnd cannot be catered for without one's
inquiring into its character.
What makes me laugh in my sleeve is
to see the fury into which preachers and
teachers nnd lecturers all lah themselves
because nine out of ten will persist in
taking fiction out of the lending libraries
instead of "improving literature." It
seems to be quite inexplicable to most of
them, though some, 1 see, attribute it to
original sin. In connection with this sub
ject it is pleasant, but by no means sur
prising to those who are really acquainted
with it, to learn that Darwin was a de
vonrer of novels. After middlo life hp
lost his taste for music, painting and even
poetry. "On the other hand," he writes,
"novels, which are works of imagination
and even those which have nothing re
markable about them have for some
years afforded mo prodigious relaxation
and pleasure, and I often bless the race
of novelists. A large number of novels
have been rend aloud to me, nnd I love
them all, even if they are only middling,
especially if they end well. A law ought
to bo passed prohibiting them to end
badly." Independent.
Teaching an a Makeshift.
Any man thinks he can teach school.
The college boy teaches in tha intervals of
his vacation to bring in a little money, or
makes a pastime of it for a year or two
after he gets his diploma, and while he is
deciding upon a profession. Tho man
who pan do nothing else feels that he can
always fall back upon teaching. It is uo
disparagement to the many able and con
scientious instructors to say that there is
a large number of incompetents in the
profession, men aud women who are not
qualified either by natural gifts or train
ing for their. work, who, while they may
have the technical knowledge required,
lack entirely and this is the worst of all
that warmth of nature that would
enable them to kindle the sacred fire of
pure aspiration in the breasts of the
children under their care. They have
nothing in theni, and so they give nothing
out.
How many teachers there are of this
type empty as drnms. " You knock at
the door of the soul, and get nothing but
sound back for your pains. In some re
spects the teacher is invested with a
graver responsibility than the preacher.
These young minds are so many fresh
tablets on which the first impressions of
life are to ho written down. What shall
they be? Shall they make fou intellectual,
end above all moral growth, for generos
ity, nobility, manliness and womanliness,
or shall they cramp the soul as well as the
mind, and leave the better part of both
inert? It is largely in the teacher's power
to say. There is a responsibility to make
the conscientious man tremble at times,
and yet how many men there are who set
about teaching with as little thought as
other men set about sawing wood. New

Russian Fonflni'ss for Display.
There is no people on earth so fond of
display ns the Russians. The imperial
family sets the example with the money
wrung from the poor, the princes and
nobles follow, and of course the private
citizens must keep up the fashion. Their
hospitality is proverbial. It is their great
est pride. Strangers are always enter
tained in the most lavish manner, and
one who parrjes to Petersburg or Moscow
letters of introduction from influential
people, is sure to be wined and dined as
long as he remains.
But behind all this ostentatious display
is practiced an economy which the people
try to couceal as if they were ashamed of
it. The private portions of the gorgeous
homes, the living looms, are usually plain
and comfortless, and the cost of a dinner
party is sufficient to keep the family for
u month or more. It is so in all the royal
residences. The show rooms are gor
geous but the living rooms do not keep up
the standard. They are plain and poor
enough to make a fair average. The
ladies of the ordinary household have
their party and dinner dresses from Paris,
but the garments in which they appear
when not on dress parade are made by
ihclrcwn servants at home--always plain
and often shabby. William Eleroy Curtis.
History of the Sean.
The common bean was cultivated by the
ftnoient Egyptians, but their priests re
garded it ub "unclean." The Old Testa
ment mentions the bean twice, and It is
certain that the Hebrews knew of its ex
istence at least 1,000 years B. C. The
ancient inhabitants of Switzerland and of
Italy, in the age of bronze, cultivated a
email fruited variety of this plant. It
was also known to the ancient Greeks and
to the ancieiit Latins, and it grew wild in
northern Africa in the days of Pliny.
The first cultivation of the bean is pre
historic,. t was probably introduced into
Europe, says De Oandolle, by the western
Aryans (Celts and Slays) at the limes p"f
their earliest migrations. A century be
fore the Christian era It went into China,
and etill later into Japan, and only re
cently into India. There were probably
' wo places where it grew wild before cul
tivation south of the Caspian sea and
t he north of Africa. The bean would long
ago have become extinct had not man cul
i iyated it. Good Housekeeping.
Itemizing the Little Expenses.
"It is a good thing to keep an account
of your small expenses," ex-Minister
John Bigelow ence said to an acquaint
ance, as he entered an item in his cote
book. His listener smiled at tli9 remark,
but took it to heart. In recently telling
the story of his experience he said that,
r.p to that; time, he had never thought of
the amount it cost him annually for cigars
and drinks and treats and other sundries.
He began to itemize the cost daily. He
was amazed at the end of the year when I
he footed up the sum a f 750. A change 1
was wrought in him. lie determined
that, for the next year, he would keep
such expenses down to one-third of the
sum in question. "And now," he said,
4 'within ten years I have profited by Mr.
Bigelow's advice to the amount of $3,000,
which I have handed over to my wife to
keep for hard times. And I have not be
come mean, either." New York Sun.

send us fruits, hides, fin timber, india
rubber, wood for dyes and sarsaparilla,
muchisimo sarsaparida. Great quantities
of silver and gold bullion also come from
the rich mines which are now attroctinu
the attention of the world. From April
until September New York is full of
Spanish-Americans, who come simply for
pleasure or tarry a while on their way to
Europe, perhaps. These do not patronize
the Spanish hotels so much ns they do the
most expensive American ones, for which
they have the most unbounded Jul rai ra

Friction in City Life.
I do not think that modern civilization
as it is embodied in city life, is an aid to
longevity. In the country, ns people learn
how to live better, it is possible to spin
out a longer existence. Because there is
more friction in city life thau in country
life, and friction acts upon the human
machine as much as it does upon a ma
chine of iron and steel. City life takes
more out of a man than country life.
What I call the mechanical features of
city life affect longevity. Fur one ihingj
we have taller buildings in town than in
country, and there is more going up and
down stairs. There is less repose in the
city. Those who live longest vegetate the
most, aud a vegetative existence is possi
ble only in the country. Physician iu

A New Use of Electricity.
The science of electricity, by the way,
has already been pressed into the service
of fashion. When, tit a dance or dinner
party, a glittering dewdrop seems sud
denly to sparkle among tho flowers o?j a
lady's shoulder, or a diamond light dare
draws attention to her pretty coiffure, the
admiring observer may take it for granted
that the possessor of the dewdrops and
the starry light in her hair is secretly
pressing a tiny battery, ingeniously con
cealed about her person, and by means of
which the electric spark flies up, to the
danger perhaps of tho beholder, if not of
the possessor, Pall Mall Gazette,
The Flat Headed Indians,
The custom of flattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. It was done in in
fancy with a hat made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
It has been so often described by numer
ous writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here have
been unable to see any difference between
the intellect of those whose heads have
thus been flattened and those which ara
naturaj. Spme of the Indians, however,
believe that it has caused numerous head
aches among them in after life. Very few
infants are thus treated now. American

Paraguay's Popular Beverage.
It is stated that another attempt is be
ing made in Europe to popularize the
beverage known as "yerba matey," so
popular in Paraguay and Brazil. It i
said to make a nou -intoxicating, aromatic
drink, and both as touching its chemical
qualities and physiologic effects is not un
like tea and coffee. That is to say, "yerba
matey" arrests waste; it does not form
flesh. It enables people to go a long time
without food, and the inhabitants of Bra
zil and the valley of the Itivcr Platte drink
enormous quantities of the beverage fo.
this very purpose, New yprk TiibiinoJ

Tobacco In Cuba's Capital.
Every one speaks Spanish here and
every one smokes cigars. Young men and
maidens, old men and children, are seem
ingly never seen without a long roll of to
bacco in their mouths. They are an easy,
indolent race, as a rule, and between the
Cubans and Spaniards an armed truce
always exists. ' The latter do not like
Americans, as a rule, and are not ptirtial
to their visiting here. The former, on the
other hand, think highly of Americans,
welcome them with open arms, and get
just as much money out of theni as poi

A Speech. In Brief.
President Rockafeller, of the Standard
Oil company, seldom makes a public
speech, and is, in fact, averse to -such a
thing. He prefers brevity and cleaves to
business. And j-et Mr. Rockafeller might
condense a speech into compact form
thus: "I'm monarch of oil I survey."
