THE SLY POLAR BEAR.
How He Gets Hla Dinner of Sent or
Walrus Meat.
In bis native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to bnns and other
dainties. The consequence is that bruin
has to devise many curious ways of se
curing his food, and none is more
strange and interesting than that relat
ed by two trustworthy travelers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take n stone or a huge lump of ice in
his sere paws and from a favorable
height, as a cliff or-a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head of a walrus, an enormous brute
often twice the size of the bear, and so
stun him that bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing a month’s rations.
The most usual food of the ice bear,
aa the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari
est animal of the north, and. both Eski
mo and polar bear need their best strat
egy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can throw
themselves by the least movement.
Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as
near as he deems safe and then begins
crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short naps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scanning
the vicinity for signs of an enemy’s ap
proach. During these times the bear is
very quiet and as still as death itself,
with eyes apparently closed, though
really a corner of each is kept open, and
in this way he hopes the seal will take
him for a heap of snow, an appearance
which his coat readily helps him to as
sume.
During the naps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse
quent fear of being heard or seen.
When but 10 or 12 yards away, and the
seal is in the depths of a good nap, the
bear rushes upon him and with a single
blow of his powerful paw knocks the
smaller brute senseless and so far away
from the hole that he cannot escape by
that way, even if the blow received is
not immediately fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered with
snow, and this is hollowed out by the
seal into a snowhouse, covering the hole
in the ice and connecting at the top of
the dome with an aperture about the
size of a shilling, called the blowhole,
for it is through this that the seal
breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour if necessary, and when the
snorts of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile dome of the snowhouse
with his paw, impaling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in a arctic winter.—London

It Suited.
The other afternoon I was in a gen
tleman’s outfitting shop when a cus
tomer came in to purchase a hat. He
tried on several and was evidently hard
to please, the counter becoming covered
with the rejected. At last the salesman
picked up a brown felt bowler, brushed
it round with his arm and extended it
admiringly.
“These are being very much worn
this season, sir,’’ he explained.
“Are they?” said the customer
thoughtfully, surveying himself in the
mirror, with hfa.hpt on his head. “Do
you think it suifcme?”
“Suits you to perfection, sir, if the
fit’s right ”
“ Yes, it fits very well. So you think
I had better have it?”
“I don’t think you could do better,
sir.” ,
“No, I don’t think I could, so I won’t
have a new one.”
The salesman had been praising up
the old hat.—-Pearson’s Weekly.
A “Steele Bargain.”
Adam Steele of Shelby county once
rented a tanyard to a Mr. Jones on
shares. His idea was to risk in the
business only the use of his tanyard
and not to incur any further liability.
So he protected himself by the fol
lowing safe clause in the contract:
“If anything is made, the said Steele
is to have it, and if anything is lost the
said Jones is to lose it.”
And this is known in Shelby as a reg
ular Adam Steele bargain to this day.

A JOKE ON THE TEAMSTER.
He Itoqgtilr Ordered Geneml Sherman t»
Brnah BU Kales.
A good ht wy is told of one of General
Sherman’s Missouri teamsters. He bad
just joined the service, a raw recruit,
and was assigned the task of driving a
six mule team. When the army baited
for the first night, he was wearily un
harnessing his team.
“Hello there,” said the wag of the
company in passing. “What do you
mean by taking care of those mules
yourself? Why don’t yon have the
hostler do it?”
“Why, I thought every man had to
take care of his own team, ” said the
bewildered teamster.
“Yen bet he doesn’t. We’ve got a
hostler for that. There’s his tent right
over there. He’s a lagy, contrary old
and he may not want to do it, bnt
you swear at him and he’ll move off at
double quick.”
The Missourian strode over to the
tent indicated, which happened to be
General Sherman’s headquarters.
“Here, you son of a gun,” he roared,
fiercely, “get out of here and brush
those mules. ”
Needless to say, the teamster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was as
signed to the duty of teaming, probably
by mistake. The roads were muddy,
and the rest of the teamsters were lit
erally bombarding their charges with
oaths. It was against the old man’s
principles to swear, and he held his
peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last
one of the hind mules balked and re
fused to advance a step. The old man
used every endeavor to urge the beast
along, but to no purpose. At last he
roared in a loud and solemn voice:
“Oh, Lord, you know where this mule
ought to be as well as anybody. This
whole army knows where he ought to
be this minute. He knows where he
ought to be. I know where he ought to
be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn’t move in
a minute I intend to say so, by gum. ”

GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.
An Incidentlothe Grand Old Man’s Ca
reer In the Commons.
If Mr. Gladstone seldom indulged in
sarcasm, it was not because he lacked
the gift—for he possessed it in a high
degree—but because he forbore to use
it To hurt an opponent’s feelings gave
him pain and when he did it uninten
tionally he would sometimes cross the
floor of the house, and, sitting for a few
moments by the side of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound. One of his most
persistent, but never ill natured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy,
who told mo the following story to il
lustrate this generous trait in Mr. Glad
stone’s character.
Sir John prided himself on his knowl
edge of chemistry, and in one of the
debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made a speech exposing, as
he believed, a serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr. Gladstone followed,
“and soon turned me inside out in the
most amusing manner,” said Hennessy
in relating the story, “proving, as if he
had been a chemist by profession, that
it was I who had blundered egregious
ly-”
Having thus disposed of his critic,
Mr. Gladstone went and sat by him for
a moment “I hope you don’t feel hurt,
Mr. Hennessy,” he said. “Your speech
was ingenious, and it may console you
to know that the emperor of the French
made precisely the same objection that
you have made. The fact is, both you
and he know a good deal about chem
istry, but not enough to keep you from
going astray.”—Canon McColl in Fort
nightly Review.
Early Whist.
Mrs. Hervey writes on Oct. 25, 1697,
to her husband, that his “four sisters
have been hear this afternoon, and as
they never come unattended, brought
with them Mr. Ga—, Mr. Down— and
Mr. Bo—. Part of them staid and play
ed at whish (sic) tel this moment,
which is past 11 a’clock. ”
Twenty years later (March 18, 1717)
Lord Hervey, as his title was then,
writes to the Rev. Mr. Thomas Foulkes,
the tutor of Mad Tom Hervey, at Ox
ford, about that son’s gambling pro
pensities. He is to follow the example
of his “good grandfather Hervey, who,
pray tell Tom, never played at any
game but whist, and at that only in
Christmas time for sixpence a corner.
Lady Bristol was at Bath in April,
1723, and was then in the center of the
world of whist. ’ ‘ Poor Bishop Nevell, ’ ’
she writes, “can scarce be reckoned
among the living, being (in my oppin
ion) wore than dead. They say he sittS
at Lindsey’s with one to hold his cards
and another to give him snuff. Palsey
and gout have brought him to this miss
irable condition.” On May 1 she cheer
fully informs her husband that the di
version of the evening is the puppet
show. “Betty is gone with Lady Tor
rington. The whiskers have promised
me some diversion after ’tis over. ”

The Canning Fox.
The sagacity of the fox is most won
derful. It is related that he is tor
mented by fleas, and when the inflic
tion becomes unbearable he gathers a
mouthful of moss and slowly walks
backward into the nearest stream until
only the month is left above the surface
sf the water. fleas meantime taka
refuge on the moss, and when the fox
is satisfied that they have all embarked
he opens his mouth, and the moss drifts
away, while the wily fox regains the
bank, happy in freedom from bis tor
mentors. —Exchange.

Entertaining the Copper.
It was a bitter tchl night, and •
night policeman in Lombard street no
ticed a light in the bank window, and,
going to the door, rapped.
“Is that you, policeman?” asked a
voice from within.
“Yas,” was the reply.
"Come in and have a drink, ” said
the voice.
The policeman stepped inside and en
countered a dapper little fellow sitting
at a desk.
“I’ve been detained tonight straight
ening up accounts.”
The policeman warmed himself at
the rousing fire that blazed on the
hearth and went but again on his beat
An hour after the policeman came that
way and, still seeing the light through
the window, rapped again.
“Is that you, policeman?"
“Yes.”
“Come in and warm yourself. ”
The policegian accepted the invita
tion.
“It’s a howling cold night,” said the
clerk.

An Attack on Sevastopol.
From whese I was stationed I could
see the dense masses of the attacking
columns advance up the slope. Then
the torrents of grape which met them
would obscure their ranks for a mo
ment and hardly a man would be seen
to remain. lat one time saw a body of
mon many hundreds strong so complete
ly swept away by one discharge that
only a few of the rear rank remained
when the iron storm went past! The
dead and dying could be clearly distin
guished lying in piles on the hillside,
and over their prostrate bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same
fate. Many a manly heart and nervous
arm went down in the deadly struggle
on that green hillside. No valor avail
ed. The cannon’s force was greater than
the strength of man.
How many ardent hopes were extin
guished I How many home circles de
stroyed and lives rendered miserable by
the havoc of that hour none can tell,
no more than they can imagine the
bodily agony or the grief for home and
friends which was there endured! What
would be the value of what is called
“glory” if weighed on the field of bat
tle among the dead?—Good Words.
Altama or Altamaha?
There can, I suppose, be no doubt
that in the lines in “The Deserted Vil
lage”—
To distant climes, a dreary scene,
Where half the convex world intrudes between,
Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they
go
Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe—
Goldsmith is alluding to the River Al
tamaha in Georgia, the colonization of
which had taken place not long before.
But his expressions are not very accu
rate. So far from being torrid in the
strict sense of the word, the latitude of
the mouth of the Altamaha is more
than 81 degrees. No part indeed of the
present United States is located within
the tropics. But, besides this, although
there are certainly rattlesnakes and, I
believe, scorpions of a certain species in
Georgia, there are no tigers there to
“wait their hapless prey,” which the
poet reckons among the horrors of the
region where some of the inhabitants of
Auburn have gone.—Notes and Queries.
Snow That Is Alive.
A most curious phenomenon in the
northwest of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever a thaw occurs.
During the winter the snow Is dry
and crisp like sand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as a thaw comes they are
found everywhere in large patches,
looking like a dusting of soot.
They are generally known as snow
fleas or snow lice and have slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely dis
appear when it freezes again, and not
a trace of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival and
are probably analogous to the “red
snow” of arctic regions.
Second Time la Out.
The hotel stood on a corner of a main
street and a comparatively unfrequent
ed side street. One evening I overheard
the little old black man talking very
savagely with another around the cor
ner on the side street, and among other
things he said:
“Yes, sub, an es I hits yon dey
woan’ be but two licks struck. I’ll hit
you an you’ll hit de groun’.
