I the work he does the best is the writing of stories of wild adventure in tha chase I went to see him the other evening; for the first time in several months. He welcomed ir.e very cordially; and as I sank into a rocking chair before the fireplace I was struck by the beauty and size of the bearskin that was stretched before the fender. "Hello! ' cried I. "Isn't this some thing new?" Eilbuck laujrhed. "Haven't you heard that storv?" said he. "Whatl" I exclaimed. "Is there a story connected with it? Let's have it!" , Takirig the Fokcr Kilbuck settled the coal in the grate, laughing softly the whiles. "If you were the friend you pretend to be," he said, "and called a often as you ought to. youd know that last spring I was completely run down. I jost packed up my duds and went to a little farm house in a mountainous and wooded district of Canada. There isn't another house within ten miles. The nearest village is a dozen miles away, and consists of a church and three houses. 'Near the farmhouse is a brook which iu spring has water enough in it to turn a mill wheel, and at that season my landlord, Farlev, saws lum Her in a little sawruid he has there. "The pure air, the quiet, the whole some food, together with entire mental and bodily rest soon put inc on my feet. I became si ronjr enough to take short walks, studying the flowers and the birds, and to go fishing occasion ally for trout in the brook above the mill. "As for shooting, you know I never had a gun in my hand in my lif J. I couldn't have done any of that: be sides, I should not have expected to find any but small game about. When, as occasionally happened, a hunter brought in a report of bear tracks on the mountains, folks generally put on an incredulous loolc "Well, it hatmvned oue time that I wanted some thin:?-; it could only b : got at the nearest town, and I de termined to tramp ov.-r there aftir them.

"I started early next morning, my only wca'on, a stout stick that I cut in the woods, and took a path which led over the mou ta n. A L1TTLK TOO SENSATIONAL "At about 11 o'clock I reached the town, made my purchases not foi getting the ch wing' tobacco that the sawyer wanted, took dinner, and at about 1:30 started back toward Far ley's. "I had traversed about half the dis tance nnil was passing- on the way up the mountain, a place where the trees were for the most part scrubby and small, with here and there a tall hem lock rising from ainonjr them. "I noticed one tree in particular which" was tall and tapering, with stumps t.f dead br inches sticking out ali over it Only tit the top hai it a tuft cf livo foliage. There seemed to bs a crow's nest or a hawk's nest up there; and I thought if I wanted to elhnb it it wouldn't b hard. '1 had to climb it pretty scon; but I haven't got to that yet "I'd like to know, just for thc fun of it, how m.my times I've described bear cnbs in mv stones A liunttrcc. r I'll warrant! Well, sir, do you know when I really saw a bear cub in tht path before ine I didn't know what it was? I hadn't any more idea that tho little beast I saw was a baby bear than I had that it was a dromedary or an ornithorhynchus. "I wanted to know what it was. So I ran after it, and when I got near enough struck it a blow across the side with my stick, which made it cry out with pain and dash into the bushes I stonped, out of breath. "My first thought was that, for so small an animal.it made a tremendous row in those bushes. Then I realized that some bigger animal was there, too a stray cow, probably, I thought. "Instead there came forth, amid a great crashing of bushes, a huge she bear suai ling and vengeful! "Well, I knew her at once recog nized her from h r photograph, so to spvak. At first I was astonished. Then I make no bones of saying it I was frightened. I knew the could do more damage to my health inthree minutes than three months in Canada could repair to say the test of it "Besides, I naturally hated to be eaten after having taken such pains to get into good condition "Yes, there I was, standing as stu pidly as a turkey in "a barnyard the dav before Christina, for the moment entirely bereft of my wits, with a big bear not ten feet from me. "I had noAing to defend myself with except my stick. A stick is a good weapon against squirrels bat every feature of my enemy's expressive countenance proclaimed that she was no squirrel. "What was I to do? Instinct answered tin question for me. I took to my heels which, luckily, are light and made a. bee' inc for the tree which I have just told yon of. 'Nor staid to look behind.' as the poet says. Reaching the tree, I climbed it No monkey in Africa ever climbed tree faster. But I wasn't te : feet up be fore the bear was at the foot, and, to my horror, began climbing after me. "Here I was. treed bv a bear. In fiction the s-tuation is a good one, though a trifle just a trifle over done. But I confess that in real life I didn't find it so good. It struck me as too sensational. "At that moment I pitied every hero I had ever put up u tree in the whole course of my career as a writer. My heart was fil ed with seinorse for my misdeeds toward the-n. "Then I remembered that I a1 ways g-ot them down again with no -bones broken and was comforted. And I wished to goodness I was one of them. "But I wasn't There was no trusty author about to manipulate me and my bear, and consequently I was a finid matters wouldn't end happily. "Meanwhile I kept on up the tree and the bear kept on. too. It wasn't very long before I was at the top, and there I stood, clasping the tree" with one arm. my feei resting on two little stumps of brandies. i sfr m SV "And yet I remember noticing; In spite of my fright, than the neat I had seen up there was a crow's, and abandoned. "The bear came steadily up; bat when she was within a dozen steps of me 1 noticed with joy that she showed signs of wavering. She looked down at the ground and then up at me. "Then she growled and came two or three feet nearer. Then she stopped i asrain. i saw that the tree was getting1 too smaii about the trank forjier to climb : t easily. ,.Kut lhis dld not comfort me much, j was too tantalizinffly near for her to . e m(J u and x fet -m my bones that. rVip rnnld reach me if she tried. "I was riht The bear again ao- vanced a little; but again she stopped, and, grasping the tree stoutly, rested, panting. Her jaws were open, h r .tongne hanging out; there was an immense eagerness in her eyes. Her resem blance to a dog 'begging' underneath some meat held above him suddenly struck me. Some men would laugh at a f aneral. "Then noting her open month, a great hope surged up within me. I never expect, honestly, to forget the exultation of that moment 1 fairly shouted, and would have danced had I been able. "I had a far better idea than any hero of a bear story that I ever read of. It was superb, and I knew it. "I reached into my pocket and drew forth the plug of tobacco I had pur chased for the man. With my knife I managed to saw off it a good.generous hunk. The bear, still pan ting, watched the proceedings with interest "I poised the tobacco carefully over her open jaws. She growled and shut her mouth. For a moment I stood upon needles. But ohly for a moment She opened her mouth again, exposing the full length of her red tongue. "Then carefully, for my life de pended on it I dropped the piece of tobacco! "My heart gave a great throb of joy when it landed fairly and squarely on the back of the bear's tongue. By great good luck it atuslt just where she must swallow it, willy nilly. "And swallow it she did, though it was a big mouthful. Its sharp corners hurt her throat, and the water came into her eyes, but with a painful gulp she got tlie tobacco down. Tiicn she growled and eyed me with an air of mingled wrath and astonishment "But the tobacco seemed to have no other effect than to increase her ill-tompe-. True, she backed down the tree two or three feet on receiving the dose; but a minuta later she came uo again with renewed energy. "I felt confident thit the tobacco, which was as blade rts a hat and as" strong as Hercules, would make her dreadful sick in time. But suppos ing she mustered up courage to elimb the few remaining feet that sep arated us lirst? "Tiiis was a desperate ov;-; and if mv remedv wasn't going to have pretty prompt effect I might as well have "saved my medicine. 'The bear slowly aud with difficulty hunched her way up toward me. I began to despair again. But just as I was giving up all hope I perceived that all was not well with her lady ship. 'Evidently she had a bad taste in her mouth. An expression of uncer tainty passed over her face like a cloud. She began to cling tight to the iree as if afraid of falling. 1 made up my mind she was dizzy. "She appeared to be quite willing to go home. She began in a great hur ry to get down the tree. Her grip wasn't at all secure. "She came near falling once or twice, and when about ten feet from the giound actually did so, landing with a terrible thump. "But she immediately raised h-r-self upon her haunches and gazed doubtfully about her. I think the earth must have been revolving and lipping round in a peculiar rapid way about that titne, for I noticed her fore feet were planted very far apart, as if her body needed bracing. "Finally she got painfully up on all four legs and lurched off into the bushes. That was all she could da And once there she stretched herself out at fnil length, completely done up. She was a dreadfully seedy bear. "She was pretty near the tree, but I thought, under the circumstances, I might come down. She did not stir when I landed on the earth once more; but I did not stop. I started for Farley's about as fast as I could go. "Y .u see there might he other bears in the neighborhood and my stock of tobacco was limited. Besides, it wasn't mine; I had no right to be giving it away to bears. "I told the people about it at Far ley's. "Ihey knew I was a story writer; in fact, I had been incautious enough to read them one or two of my best bear stories, and I fancy they thought I was g.ving them another yarn.' They didn't seem much in clined to believe me, anyhow. "But I showed them that a part of the tobacco was gone, called their at tention to the fact that I was ex tremely unlikely to have met any one to give it away to on that lonely road, and asking them if they had ever known me to use it in any form. "They yielded to my raasoning at last, and the next day went to the su-ene of my adventure. They found no bear, but they did see the place where the bushes had been crushed down, and observed that the bark of the tree had been su-r.itched off as if by a bear's claws. They had to con cede that I had told the'truth. "A hunt was organized a few days later, but to no purpose, I suspect that bear was so ashamed of herself that she left the neighborhood." "But," said I, when Kilbuck had finished his story, "if you didn't catch the bear, what has all this to do with your rug?" "Oh," said Kilbuck, "I forgot all about the rug. It isn't that bear's skin, that's a fact But I owe it to her just the same. "You see, I had experienced a bear story which was better than any I had ever written. So I just wrote a narra tive of my actual experience and sent it to the editor of a paper for boys, and with the funds I bought this rug. And that's all there is about it" "But," said I again, "I supposed editors of boys' papers always de manded a moral to stories. Now, vours hasn't got the ghost of a moral." "Moral!" exclaimed Kilbuck; "moral! Now, look here, that's too bad really. If that story doesn't con tain the strongest sort of a lesson on the dangers of using tobacco, I'd like to know what does!" lie Was Right. "So you think you will choose the occupation of a diver?" "Yes." "I think you make a mistake." "Why so?" "I never knew one yet who could keep his head above water in his business." New York Press. Dolus Ketter Thin the Average.

Every dairyingnwm should at all j , . i ..j ' times CiaSS nimstJll a nmucuu ui tho industry, and, more than this, he should not confine hia studies to books and papers, for, at the stable and pasture, there is ever an unfold ing lesson that, if subjected to closo scrutiny, will be of value to the farmer. John Gould saya in - the American Agriculturist that success comes quito as much from noticing tho little details of dairying, and classifying them according to cause and effect to secure the desired re sults, as incomplying with tho moro prominent rules that are quoted as lying at tho .foundation of dairy suc cessT Ho says: The dairyman who watches clotoly the habits and doings ct tho cows of his herd, will soon see that success in a great measure is the result of a fixed set of regula tions that are to be observed and made part and parcel of tho daily round. These things- must be made individual to somo extent, so as to fit each and every cow, for what is adapted to one cow, is not just what some othor cow ?ifl requiro to make her comfort compistei During tho past summer I hs( had this in mind, and for years lot that matter, and I find that so far m the details are concerned, that the closer we ap proach a certain lino of rcularity, the moro marked tho success-- In tho first placo tho stable should never be allowed to get in disorder, but be kept clean and tidy, and above all, whitewashed, and tho cobwebs swept down; and "it will be found that sprinkling in tho gutter each few days with that cheapest of all disinfectants, road dust, will give the barn a healthy tone, that will repay over and over for tho little trouble that it requires. While it may bo true that it docs not directly pay to feed through tho nav in othor the eows gram summor it does ways, ifoHably in having tho cows form tho coming from tho pastures. rjabit or of their own accord, towards milking lane, and replaces tho use of a dog. 2ho grain ration may be very small, omv pound of seconds each, daily, will bt? ample, and it is host fed at night. This year I fed oat dust, a product of the oatmeal mills, costing about 7.50 per ton, and from it secured very favorable results. It is also a good plan to have each cow have her own lying place, and make it a home, and sec that she is tied in no other place. Keep the manger clean, oven "if somo day it does require you to go at it with an old broom and hot water. A cow never objects to dining off a clean plate. Feeding before milking is, I think, a good plan with tho summer mess, but in winter, when feeding full ra tions, it Is better to feed after milk ing, "so as to give tho cows time to eat, and not interfere with tho work of tho milkers, as cows need, as a rule, more time to eat than it is pos sible to allow, and then the cows soon fall into the habit of voiding when being milked, which is a great nuisance when there arc forty cows to milk. When it is possiblo there should be a tank of water in the yard whero the cows can get their fill before going into the stalls. It is surprising how much water a dairy will consnmo in this way, even where the pasture is abundantly sup plied with springs and running brooks, and in the winter, a galvan ized iron trough, fastened to the in side front of the manger, kept filled with water, will bo a paying invest ment Utilize the btraw. Now that hay is sure to be scarce this wi tcr it will undoubtedly lead to tho feeding of all tho available oat straw, and to a good share of the chaff and tho better part of the wheat straw, says tho Nebraska Farmer. Straw can sometimes bo used in this way to good advantage. It does not make a bad food when helped out with tho cornstalk field and some hay and perhaps a little bran. A dairy cow should have something better of course. If her butter product won't pay for tho best of feed she is no good as a dairy cow and should bo reduced to tho ranks of an ordinary cow. But there is always on tho ordinary farm quite a per cent of young steers, cows out of milk and young things that would not pay to buj' hay for. These can be carried along on a part ration of straw. They would make a botver growth on good hay but the increase in weight would not be worth what the hay cost There is another way by which tho straw can be used as food without being fed to tho stock at all. In the winter time most of the food that is eaten goes to keeping tho animal warm. This is the first demand made by the animal on its stomach. After that demand has been satisfied the food that is left is stored in the animal's body as fat or else it is used to make moro muscle and bone. It is obvious then that the colder it is the more food will be demanded to keep up the bodily heat But if the cold can be kept from affecting the animal, less food will be needed and just that much food will be saved. By a law of nature tho living body becomes cold much quicker in a wind than in a calm atmosphere. This law has caused the erection of windbreaks and sheds for shelter. Where a man cannot afford to buy sufficient hay nor put up barns or board sheds." he can at least provide plenty of straw sheds. They will las t for a couple of years and then can be renewed. Tljere can be no possible excuse for a lack of straw covered sheds. A few posts and poles are all that is needed to start with and it does not require a skilled mechanic to construct the shed. More straw might profitably be used for bedding than is ordinarily used. It would keep the horse and cow warmer and it makes the best of manure when mixed with the solid and liquid excrement This is the true way to compost the straw stack. The straw rots quicker and at the same time it checks excessive fer mentation of tho manure heap. All of these methods pay better than turning the straw, which should be the last resort to make use of the surplus straw. All of the carbon and nitrogen is lost by burning and only the mineral ash remains. Weights and Prices. The market for some kinds of poul try is such that while a large supply may be on hand an i sales slow, yet high prices 'are' obtained for other .aeg. p0l. the information of those ; who nave not cosey observed tho markets during past yoars, so as to make comparison, it may bo men tioned that very early in tho spring, about Fobruary or March, consumors urefer a chick that does not exceed I one pound in weight, and as the sea son begias to open, the weignts in crease. Tho highest prices (the month, of .May)' are whon broilers weigh a pound and a half each. -Following the Drogress of weights f and rjrices. there is a- gradual de- crease of prices, but tho weights aro increased at the same time in a man- increased at the same time in a man uer to keep tho chicks at a somewhat uniform sum, so far as the total amount received is concerned. That i is, if a chick weighing a pound and a half sells at forty cents per pound a total of sixty cents the chick weighing two pounds will sell for thirty cents per pound, which is also a total of sixty cents. It is not to bo Inferred that this is exact, but this is tho rolativo proportion, and will :servo as a guide in makmgstimates of weights and prices for clicks. There is a limit to weights. The "buyers accept threo-pound chicks at 'twenty cents per pound, but as soon as largo chicks appear matured, and reach a stago of growth whon it is .difficult to classify them, tho prices -paid aro tho samo as for adults. For instance, a cockerel that has de veloped too much comb and wattles will sell as an "old rooster," and in stead of twenty cents por pound bo ing obtained, he will bring about six cents per pound. Of course the one price gives a profit, whilo 'the other causes a loss, and this may happen by keeping a chick but two or throe weeks longer than it should bo retained after it is well growm. Just when to sell so as to secure the largest profit is impor tant to know, and it is well to watch tho young stock. Tho best way to manage is to sell all young fowls so as not to have any of them exceed j three pounds each. Mirror. a Farm Note. Tho best farmer does not depend on - commercial fertilizers alone, but utiilizes all the manure of his fa-m. An Englishman declares that breed ing thoroughbreds to scrubs depreci ates the value of tho former. It may, but wo don't boliovo it all tho same. Don't buy sheop for wool and then harvest thorn for mutton, is tho ad vice of a contemporary. Tho fact is, all sheep should be raised for the mutton with tho wool as a side issue. An Kngiish court has held that an owner o. barbed wire fences on the public iiighway, is liable for any damage that, it may inllict on passers by. and inferently for damago lo & tuck lawPully on tho highway. .Are tho cultivators, harrows, roll ers, plows and farm machinery under shelter, or aro they scattered over tho farm? Implements exposed to alternate sun and rains will not last half as long as if taken care of. A writer says that clover is a grass that makes land richer and better for having grown on it, and wo nover loso anything by growing it for honey. It may not soil as well as a hay crop, but it enriches tho soil so much that it pays for itself in a year or two. II tho tops off clover aro cut off, says a -writer, the roots will increase in bui'c much moro than if tho tops had not-"been removed. It is an im mutable botacinical law that if tho parts of a plant abovo the grouni aro severely pruned it will develop root growth- Never ring' hogs unless it is abso lutely necessary. Some people seem to think that ft is tho science of hog ology to ring &"wino whether or not.

The final cleansing and polishing should be done with powdered rotionstone.oil and chamois skin. There is only one right way to clean wall paper, and that is with a week-old loaf of bread cut in halves. Begin at the top of the wall and wipe downward with the crumb side of the loaf, making the stroke a half yard or so in length. Never rub crosswise or upward, but always downward.

Charcoal and wood ashes with nu merous other things, sometimes poisonous drugs, are given to grow ing pigs to correct the acidity of tho stomach and prevent tho rotting pro cess which results from undigested food in the stomach at a high tem perature. This rotting is the result of gluttony, whether found in man or any other beast, and should bo cor rected by the thoughtful and ex perienced feeder. Too much is not only not good because calculated to impair tho vital functions and mili tate against their successful work ing, but is a waste of food as well, and it is in the economical uso of food that we find our profit But should such a correction to tho acidity of the stomach be really called for there is nothing better or more rcaaiiy avium mo iuau uurui corn cobs, or a few ears of burned corn.

Most of these powders are made from sharp and caustic acids and alka lies which burn and inflame the alimen tary organs and cause indigestion, heartburn, diarrhoeal diseases, etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash, bnrnt alum, all are used as gas-producing-agents in such baking powders. Most housekeepers are aware of the painful effects produced when these chemica's are applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must be their action upon the delicate internal membranes! Yet unscrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to use them, because they make a very low-cost powder, nor to urge the use of their powders so made, by all kinds of alluring advertisements and false representations. All the low priced or so-called cheap baking pow ordcrs, and all powders sold with a gift prize, belong to this class. Baking powders made from chemic ally pure cream of tartar and bi-car-bonate of soda are among the most use ful of modern culinary devices. They not only make the preparation of finer and more delicious cookery possible, but they have added to the digestibility and wholesomcness of our food. But baking powders must be composed of such pure and wholesome ingredients or they must be tabooed entirely. Dr. Edson, Commissioner of Health of New York, in an article in the "Doc tor of Hygiene," indicates that the ad vantages of a good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of bad ones in which the harsh and caustic chemicals are used, are to be secured by the use of Royal Baking Powder ex clusively, and he recommends this to all consumers. "The Royal," he says. "contains nothing but cream of tartar and soda refined to a chemical purity, which when combined under the in fluence of heat and moisture pro duce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas. The two materials used, cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly harmless even when eaten, but in thi preparation they are combined in exact compensating weights, so that when chemical action begins between them in the dough they practically disappear, the substance of both having been taken to form carbonic-acid gas." Hence it is, he says, that the Royal Baking Pow der is the most perfect of ail conceiv able agents for leavening purposes. It seems almost incredible that any manufacturer or dealer should urge the sale of baking powders containing in jurious chemicals in place of those of a well-known, pure, and wholesome character simply for the sako of a few cents a pound greater profit: but since they do. a few words of warning seem to be necessary. A SpauUli Woman lt:i I!er Opinion of An:prit-:ii!. A woman of Spain, who is a delegate to the Coulumbia exposition from the Havana chamber of commerce, finds far more serious criticism to make of social life in America than is made in a trivial article in Harper's Monthly, which foolishly asserted in substance that women of Chicago violated con ventionalities in their dinner-table manners. Senora Eva Canel declares in an interview: "I most earnestly be lieve in equal rights the fellowship of men'and women and I have used voice aud pen to advocate the caue. But if I could speak your language I would stand before this country, this federa tion of nations, and plead, for some rights for men; the women seem to have them all! It is true that the divine definition was not man, matter; woman, slave; but neither were the terms transposed. .It was given out that the twain should be one llesh.with singleness of purpose and ambition. You seem to have no home life in America. I hare been in beautiful, stately houses, but I have not heard in them the patter of little feet or the sound of children's voices. The wives arc too busy with the cares of state for the cares of motherhood." Chicago Times. Baiso ICoses. "If you want to make money and at the same time enjoy your work," said a man, "raise noses. When I moved into the country I built a conservatory to grow roses, for I am very fond of them. From time to time I built additions to my hothouses, and in time found that I was raising more roses than I knew what to do with. So I began to sell them. I learned that there was a good winter demand for them; in fact, a very strong demand. I was able to com mand prices which seemed marvelous. Now I make large winter shipments regularlj', but I have paid for my hot houses and all the labor expended on them many times over, and what I call my 'flower bank account' has reached a very respectable size."

Petit Journal des Sciences: Curious resemblances in nature .start with the cocoannt, in many respects like the hu man skull and almost a fac-smile of the monkey's. The meat of the English walnut is almost a copy of the hupaan brain, plums and black cherries like the human eye, almonds like the human nose, and an opened oyster and shell a perfect likeness of the human ear. The shape of a man's body may be traced in the mammoth squash, the open hand in the growing scrub willows and celery, the human heart in Germrn turnips and eggplants and doens of mechanical inventions of the present day to patterns furnished by nature. Thus the hog suggested the plow, the butterfly the door hinge, the frog stool the umbrella, the duck the ship, and fungus growth on trees the bracket How to Treat Chamois Skins. Considering what a useful thing a chamois skin is, it is astonishing that there is so much ignorance as to the proper way of keeping it in order and lengthening its term of service. Cham ois skins should never be left in water after being used, but should be wrung out and hung up to dry, being spread out carefully, so as to leave no wrink les. They should not be used to wipe off colors, as paint stains form hard spots and make the skin wear out sooner. Chamois was never intended to wipe the face and hands with, which makes, it become greasy. Never put a chajsois skin into warm water; any thing above luke-warm water will curl it up, making it become thick, tough and useless. Redaction of the Earth's Sorface. A French geologist has made a care ful calculation of the amount of solid matter yearly carried off into the ocean by the actions of the rivers of the world and other causes. He estimates that the reduction of the average hight of the surface of the solid land is 0.00G inches each year. Making allowance for the corresponding rise in the oc currence of volcanic and other excep tional phenomena the general tend ency of which is to hasten the process of disintegration the period at which the solid land will have ceased to exist, and the surface of the earth will be covered with water, has been estimated. As, however, that period is 4,500,000 years distant, the prediction need cause no immediate disquietude. "Why Marriage May be a Failure. One reason why marriage is so often a jailure is that the average man falls in love with a woman because she has two or three of the qualities which he attributes to the ideal woman, and never gets over blaming her afterwards because she doesn't have the rest Women don't make any such mistake. They don't expect to find in the aver age man any of the qualities possessed by their ideal,, and they are seldom dis appointed, Somerville Journal Arnhmrl , Genuine amber bfbecoming scarcer every year, and it will not be. longbe fore a real amber cigar holder or pipe stem will be a rarity amd a luxury. The true amber is a fossil gum which was produced in large quantities by trees having a resinous aap, which flowed down the trunk and gathered in masses at the roots. It is found in the ground of marshes and other places where forests flourished in former times, and is also secured by dredging. The Baltic and Black seas and the Ger man ocean formerly produced it in con siderable quantities, but their supplies are now pretty much exhausted. There is a little satisfaction, however, in knowing that the immitation is just as good as the real. On this account we will still be able to smoke pipes and use cigar and cigarette holders that look and taste just as good as the genuine amber. Save for these purposes very little amber is used in this country, but in India and China large lumps of the product are in great demand. For some cause or other an amber idol is far more highly prized in these countries than even golden gods, and as a result the finest pieces of amber go to the east to make deities for the pagans. Why a Olrl Cansot Throw. The difference between a girl's throw ing and a boy's is substantially this; The boy crooks his elbow and reaches back with the upper part of his arm about at right angles with his body and the forearm at an angle of 45 de grees. The direct act of throwing is accomplished by bringing the arm back with a sort of snap, working every joint from shoulder to wrist The girl throws with her whole arm rigid, the boy with his whole arm relaxed. Why this marked and unmistakable differ ence exists may be explained by the fact that the clavicle or collar-bone in the feminine anatomy is some inches longer and set some degrees lower down than in the masculine frame. The long, crooked, awkward bone in terferes with the full and free use of the arm. This is reason why a girl can not throw a stone. Namlag the llaby. There is the particular fault most pa rents have, and this is in giving the children nicknames. It usually begins at home. They think it funny to nick name the baby, but they must remem ber that the kitten will be a cat some day, and the nickname will cling to it through life. Again, some parents manufacture names. This might be done all right occasionally, but census takers and school teachers run across many amus ing illustrations of follies into which it sometimes runs. For instance, Dickens in one of his novels tells of a woman who made up a name for her child, calling it Morlena. Nothing could be more ridiculous than this name, yet the mother must have thought the name very beautiful. A girl was once named Charlena because her father's name was Charles. It is well to avoid such names as Truth, Faith, Patience, Virtue, Sunshine, etc, as the bearer of these names may grow up to maturity exhibiting qualities en tirely the contrary of these names.

The Xeck-Verse. William Rufus, the second of the Norman kings of England, established what is called the "Benefit of Clergy," by which any ode condemned to death could save his life by proving that he could read. The first verse of the fifty-first Psalm was chosen as the test to be read, hence it was called "Neck Verse." This law continued in force from the year 1087 until the close of Queen An nie's reign, in the year 1700; although for a long period it had fallen into desuetude and even become a dead let ter. There Was No Danger. With a view to giving a performance in the evening the manager of the trav eling dramatic company was inspect ing the building called by the enter prising Arizona proprietor an opera house. "Yes, it's large enough," he said, "and the lighting arrangements seem to be all right, but it hasn't exits enough. In case of a sudden alarm there would be a crush. Did you ever try to find out how long it takes to empty the hall?"' "You bet I have!" answered the pro prietor. "A dog fight on the outside will empty the building in twenty seven seconds by the watch. MoBcy-Xnken. Are you Busy? Are you making money? If so, stick to It: you arc fortunate.

"The difference between one woman and another,"' said Dr. Louise Fiske Bryson recently, "is more than any thing else an affair of style; that beauty of beauties so hard to define and easy to recognize, which makes the girl of no-color hair, features of indifferent turn and lines none too perfe.t, infi nitely more attractive than other maids of faultless curves and innumerable strong points not cemented by this magic quality. Style may ba defined, for want of something better to ex press it, as an attractive manner of holding the body, a firm, graceful way of doing things and of moving about It is the visible sgn of inherent power and reserve force. It is the outcome of long, deep breaths and the use of many muscles. The prayer of the New York child, 'Lord, make us very stylish!' when viewed aright is recognized as an aspiration based upon sound scientific principles and worthy of universal commendation.
