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 Telegraph- 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. —Lexington (Ky.)

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. ” —Chicago Inter-Ocean. 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. ” Notes and Queries. 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.

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. “You’re right, sir,” said (he police man So he got another drink and returned to bis beat He was rather surprised next day to find that his friend of the night before had got off with some $50,- 000 of the bank's funds.—London Suc cess. 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’. “You done heah whut I say.”—Den ver Post.
