I saw the doc­ tor turn pale with excitement. Whisper­ ing to him to stiffen his left ear, I seated my rifle on tliat prominent part 4pf his person, and, taking dead aim for tile bear's breast, fired. At the report pt the gun, the doctor, stunned by the explosion, I suppose, fell as though he had been shot. Not so with the bear, fcowever, for starting up with a snort, lie looked around. I fired again, but jlhot wild, and then saw the i»ear qfbart for us, with hair on end and growling fearfully. Shall I confess it that fear look possession of me, even so that I stropped my gun and ran?

I knew he ^ould not climb the tree. On looking J|t him closely, I could see the hole in left side where the bullet had en- ered, and on- the other side where it ad passed out. It must have torn his eart to pieces. The blood was flowing rom the wound and the bloody froth was on his lips. Surely he must soon die, I thought. But he showed no sign ©f failing vitality, and I soon came to lieve that a bear may live without a eart. I saw plainly now that 1 should •ve shot him through the head or else through the spine. But it was too late rectify the mistake; my gun was on e ground. The bear would not leave the tree, but kept looking up at me. After Tfiwhile he took a large boulder in his %-|)aw8 and laid it at the root of the tree, £ And then another and another. At first I was puzzled to know what it meant, l>nt soon the terrible truth dawned on iny mind that he was heaping them there that he might stand on them and reach me. The thought was enough to make me start, and for a moment I thought of leaping over him to the .ground and taking my chances in run­ ning. But 1 knew he would overtake me. Then 1 thought of the doctor and turned my eyes toward the place where be had fallen. He was not there, shouted his name and saw him thrust his head out from a crevice in the rocks close by where I had left him. How Jie managed to squeeze his body into so small a space is a mystery tome. "Get your gun and shoot the bear, I screamed to liim. "Are you going to standstill and see this brute eat me?" He did not answer, but crept out Cautiously to where his rifle lay, and ran quickly back to his retreat. 1 saw him lim, and then saw the flash of the gun --and one of my boot-heels flew off. I implored him to aim with more care next time, and to shoot at the bear, not At me. I waited with much trepidation his next shot, and well 1 might, for the bullet sung a dirge by my ear, burning it as it passed. Then 1 asked him to desist, for fear that he might commit murder and that 1 would be the victim. Slowly but surely the bear was piling vup the rocks at the base of the tree, .and must soon reach me. For a while hope deserted me and I sat in a kind of stupor, from which I was aroused by a ' thought that flashed across my mind. Acting upon it, I shouted to the doctor. "Draw the bullet from a cartridge, ^quickly, and replace it with one of your pills!" "Load your gun with it." "All right," came the response. "Now run out," I said, "and attract the attention of the bear." In another moment he came out yell­ ing and capering abour. This was more than the bear could resist, and he rushed after Che dotcor, who fled to his retreat, followed by the bear. "When he opens his mouth fire straight down his throat," I yelled. I heard a shot, saw the bear stagger back, then rear up and place, his paw on his abdomen, howling all the while as if in pain. Then he started to flee, but fell into convulsions horrible to be­ hold, tearing up the earth in his death struggle. Gradually his movements ceased. His limbs straightened. He was dead. Then the Doctor emerged from his crevice in the rocks and rushed up to the bear's carcass and kicked it and leaped upon it, yelling all the while like a devil. I descended from my perch, and go­ ing up to the Doctor embraced him and thanked him from the bottom of my .lieart. I told him that he was the deadest shot--with a pill--I had ever --Forest and Stream. ally buried in lilies and roses, the m- oangniity e! the arrangement is inex pressiblT ludicrous. But the most surprising, painful and revolting phase of the silly appendages of gloves, scarfs and hat-bands, mag­ nificently-gilded carriages and splen­ didly-caparisoned horses to carry the mortal part of one poor passenger to his last resting-place, is, that,in ninety- nine cases out a hundred, the living who feel compelled to furnish them are but illy able to do so. --Chicago Daily News. Hospitality In Central Ada. Imagine, gentle reader, an isolated tent in some dreary portion of the desert, at whose door I arrive after a tiresome march of several hours in deep sand and under a scorching sun, without a drop of refreshing water, and without an animating breeze. My salutation, "Es-salem Aleikum"--L e., Peace be over thee"--resounds far in the distance, and makes the grazing cattle raise their heads, as if bewil­ dered at the unaccustomed voice. At cnce a young or an elderly woman ap­ pears at the entrance of the ragged and storm-worn tent, the felt pieces of which have been bleached by rain and snow, while belts, ropes and pegs are sadly out of repair. It is a poor tent. The male inhabitant is out on some predatory or hunting expedition, while his wife has to tend the flock in close proximity to the dwelling, or is engaged in spinning or rolling a new piece of felt to be laid under the new member of the family whose arrival is expected soon. On perceiving the pious stranger from a distant land, she utters a few words of joyous surprise, and soon comes forward .with a wooden dfeh of sour milk, with a piece of cheese, or with a bundle of sun-dried fish. The visitor partakes of the offering with a loud "Bismillah," i. e., "In the name of God," while his hostess sits opposite shedding tears because God has given her the opportunity of feeding a guest. As soon as he has satisfied his hunger, she brings before him the plain-colored camel-hair, the material for the new carpes, in order to have bestowed upon it his blessing, as a sure sign of happi­ ness to her coming child. For a while the Turcoman woman will remain quite motionless, her eyes fixed upon the movements of your lips, every sound of which is most anxiously caught, and it is only after having finished the re­ cital of the Koran, of which she does not understand a single word, that she gives vent to her blissful satisfaction by uttering a sigh from the depth of her heart, or by a tear, of which the poet justly says: The lips may beguile • With a dimple or smile. But the test of affection's* tea?. I have often witnessed scenes of this nature that were indescribably touch­ ing, and it may be easily understood how this comes back to my memory whenever I have to picture the lights and shadows of life among the primi- time inhabitants of the desert. No wonder, too, that during my abode among the Turcomans on the Gurgan, feelings of admiration were mingled with the deep aversion and horror that agitated my heart.--Good Words. Extravagant Funerals. , If there is any one custom of society which more than another peremptorily demands radical reformation it is the ^modern funeral. Why the mortal human remains should be carried to the grave in a style so far above the station in life of the occupant of the coffin is one of those things for which no satisfactory reason can be given. Why the battered and defaced body of a brutal prize-fighter should rest be- * Heath the outstretched wings of the peaceful dove is one of those anomalies of modern society which are enough to i "V^fmake angels weep. One can appreciate the tenderness - £jand sincerity with which one of the 'common people," as President Lin­ coln was in the habit of designating the jnass of humanity, is often mourned. - But who can behold, without a serious revulsion of feeling, those daily at­ tempts at the last moment to canonize not only the common but the impious vulgar of this earth by the display of those silly appendages which are at present the accessories of our funerals. When one sees the head of the most ' quarrelsome of men laid upon a pillow , of flowers, tastefully inscribed with the word "Rest," he is at a loss to deter- * mine whether the thing is not an exhibi­ tion of that delicate irony with which niany persons express their sentiments and which leaves behind it a flavor of curious, if not painful, indefiniteness.

A sweat-board was intro­ duced in the usual manner, and a stool pigeon lost a few dollars on it. He asked the visitor to play for him with his money, and the latter at first won, but afterward lost. At length he was told that he was, on his own account, indebted to the board to the extent of $300. "I haven't the money with me," he said. "Then give me a check," was the fellow's suggestion; "I suppose you have a bank account. Or won't that be convenient?" It occurred to the visitor that to sign a check would cost nothing, since he could go immediately to the bank and stop payment. A blank check was produced, and he filled it out. The gambler scrutinized it, and then dried the ink with a newspaper in lieu of a regular blotter. The stool- pigeon had been quiet for a while. Now he suddenly broke out. "This is a friend of mine." he exclaimed, savage­ ly, "and I won't see him swindled. He sha'n't let you have his check for a cent." He grabbed the check, tore it into bits, and threw them on the floor. "Come," and he seized the visitor by the arm; "let's get out of this den." "There was an excited protest by the other chap," says the narrator, "but we went out unhindered, and I parted with Dan on the corner, receiving his congratulations on having escaped un­ scathed. On returning to the hotel I gave to the detective there an account of what had happened, explaining that I had intended to stop payment on the check, but that no such precaution was now necessary. 'Don't you lose a minute in going to the bank,' he said, 'or they'll get there with the check be­ fore you. It was destroyed? Not a bit of it. A newspaper lay on the desk, didn't it, and he put the check between its folds, face downwf rd, as if to blot it. Then the stool pigeon snatched out, not the check itself, but a blank one that had been previously placed there. This dummy was what Dan tore up, and the real check was left( safe and sound. That's the way they prevent their victims from stop­ ping payments.'" American Lawyen* . The last London Times says about American lawyers: " 'In no country in the world,' said Burke, fully a century ago, with reference to America, 'is law so general a study'; and this remark still holds good. Law is, and always has been, regarded there as a road leading to all greatness. Usually about two-thirds of the members of Congress are lawyers. They swarm in journal­ ism. They become 'railroad men' or great financiers. They pull the wires, organize parties, and play a political part altogether out of proportion to that which belongs to the same class here. Our lawyers, even the greatest of them, have rarely had more than a secondary position in politics. On the othe: hand, from Hamilton's time to our own, the same class in the United States has always been in the very front rank of party warfare. It is, moreover, a much more numerous class than with us. We have, to be sure, no lack of lawyers, but an average American town will contain three times as many members of the profession as an En­ glish town of equal size. American lawyers might claim with considerable cogency that they had cultivated not merely" the graces of their profession more assiduously than the English bar, but that they were accustomed to look at new legal questions raised by the circumstances of modern society with a freedom and breadth of view which is very rare here." THE HOB PHTHCTAft. SOW TO TBIAT Bnuiaes.--The Prairie Farmer says: To preyent flic skin from discoloring after a blow or fall, take a little dry starch or arrow­ root, and merely moisten it with cold water, and lay it on the injured part. This must be done immediately, so ss to prevent the action of the air upon the skin. However, it may be applied some hours afterward with effect. CCRK FOB BLEEDINO AT THE NOSE.-- As to bleeding at the nose, a remedy I have proved time and again is simply to keep the child chewing. You may laugh, but this is an infallible cure. You can use paper if yeu like, but something to eat is better, especially for a very small child. A bit of meal answers better than cake or bread, as it requires greater effort to masticate it, and therefore the jaws work harder, and that is just what is needed in order that the stream of blood from the nose may be stopped.--Ruth Argyle, in Arthur's Magazine. How TO SAVE ONE WHO Is CHOKING. --Do not lose.an instant. Force the mouth open with the handle of a knife ur a stiong tpoon; push the thumb and liftgers deep down into the throat be­ yond the root of the tongue and feel for the foreign body. If the obstruction cannot be grasped, a hair-pin bent as a hook and guided by the left hand will often bring it out. If this fails, get some one to press against the front of the che»t or support it against the edge of a table, and strike seveval hard, quick blows with the open hand on the back, between the shoulder blades. Further treatment must be applied by a physi­ cian, who should have been immediately sent for. THE MOST SUBTLE ENEMY TO HEALTH. -- Speaking of the commonly-assumed danger arising from the offensive gases inhaled from street sewers, the London Times, in a long article on the subject, declares the high probability to be that those sewer gases, which are the most offensive to the nose are, in fact, the least likely to be deleterious, if only on account of the haste which is made to escape from them, and of the impossi­ bility of their presence being unper- ceived. The most subtle enemy, to health, it thinks, whether at home or at the seaside, is to be found in the often­ times cherished presence of what it comprehensively terms "household dirt" --that which may be wiped from the walls, swept from the furniture, beaten from the carpets, etc. TEA-LEAVES FOR BRRNS AND SCALDS. --Dr. Searles, of Wausau, Wis., writes thus to the Chicago Medical E.rami ner: "Some few years since I accidentally found that a poultice of tea-leaves, ap­ plied to small burns and scalds, af­ forded immediate relief, and I deter­ mined to give it a more extensive trial when opportunity should present, which soon occurred. It was in the case of a child 16 months old. Upon examina­ tion I found the anterior portion of the body, arms, and legs blistered and deeply burned from a kettle of hot water which the child had upset upon itself. The case, to say the least, was unfavorable for the success of any remedy. I prepared a large poultice, softened the leaves with hot water, and, while quite warm, applied it upon cot­ ton wool, over the entire burned sur­ face. Almost like magic the suffering abated, and, without the use of any other, anodyne, the child soon fell into a quiet sleep, and in a few hours I removed the application, and reapplied it where it was necessary, I found the parts dis­ colored and apparently tanned. The acute sensibility and tenderness had nearly disappeared, and the little pa­ tient passed through the second and third stages under far more favorable circumstances (symptoms) than was at first anticipated, making a recovery in about two weeks. Since then, on sev­ eral occasions, I have had reason to recommend tea-leaves, till now I have come to prefer it above all other reme­ dies in the first stage of burns and scalds. I think it must recommend itself to the profession, not only on ac­ count of its intrinsinc value, but also by reason of its great convenience, be­ ing so readily obtained." Where Money Falls Like Chestnnta. "How do you sell your brandy?" I asked of a Charleston <N. C.), moon­ shiner. " "We don't sell it now at all. Hed ter wait till hits gauged," he answered. "Look 'ere, Elder," said Buck, my companion, motioning to the distiller to step around the hogshead with him. After a minute's conflab they returned. I think the conversation was to assure the fire-water man that I was all straight. . Buck went to the saddle-bags strung across one of our mules and returned with two quart bottles. These he handed to the distiller, who in turn gave them to one of the lazy-looking loungers, who appeared to be in his employ. The fellow put the bottles in the great pockets of his homespun coat, and immediately disappeared into the shade of the woods. He was gone possibly fifteen minutes. Upon his re­ turn he delivered the bottles, filled to the corks, directly to Buck. "These two quarts," said Buck .look­ ing at me, "are 75 cents." I took the money from my pocket and extended it toward the distiller. He shook his head, and replied with this mysterious sentence: "Chestnuts fall to the ground." I took the cue; dropped the money at my feet, then turned and went to my mules. The money was still lying on the ground when the trees shut out the still and its crowd from our sight.-- Cor. Cleveland Herald. The Wyoming Massage In the summer of 1778 the beautiful valley of Wyoming, Pa., wa* invaded by a band of tories and Indians, and in the battle that followed, on July 3, the American patriots, commanded by Col. Zebulon Utitler, were defeated with horrible slaughter. Then followed a general massacre, which some escaped by fleeing to the mountains, while a few took refnge in Fort Forty (now Wilkesbarre;. This fort was besieged the morning of the 4th by the tories and Indians under Col. John Butler, and ordered to surrender; and, being without any means of defense, Col. Dennison yielded to the entreaties of the women and children to enter into articles of capitulation. It was agreed upon the surrender of their arms, and the destruction of the fort, the inhabit­ ants of the valley should return peace­ ably to their homes; but no sooner was the fort surrendered than the Indians fell upon the houses, which they plun­ dered and burned, killing all the women and children who had not escaped to the mountains. The entire village of Wilkesbarre was burned to the ground.

Hermann took an assistant and a pair of slates with him, and indignantly denied that the phe­ nomenon oould occur in his presenoe at all. The parties being ushered into a room, one of the gentlemen, Mr. J. H. McVicker, the well-known theatrical manager, was requested by lbs. Simp­ son to write a question privately on paper, show it to no one, but fold it up tightly and hand it to Hermann, to be kept by him without being read until after the* answer to it should be written on the inner side of the folded slates held by Hermann or his assistant. Hermann took the paper, put it in his pocket, and directed nis assistant to hold the slates, which Hermann him­ self had first carefully cleaned and ex­ amined. The assistant held the two slates closed firmly together in the Ealm of his right hand under a table, ut with his whole hand and the exter­ ior of his slates fully in sight, of Her­ mann and of Mr. McVicker. Mrs. Simp­ son was then permitted, keeping her hand fully in sight, to place her hand underneath and resting against the back of the assistant's hand. As soon as the hands touched the writing was heard as if executed in a flash by an expert writer. Mrs. Simpson's hand was first removed, Hermann watching and holding it. Thai the assistant opened the slates and read the writing. It was simply, "Only a week in Pitts­ burgh." The question was then taken by Hermann from his pocket, unfolded, and read. It was: How long will you remain in Pittsburgh Mr. Hermann declared it was not done by his act or by any slight of hand or deception, as it was impossible for any living person to have either read the question or written the answer. The experiment was immediately repeated with the slates which Hermann had bought, whereupon he expressed himself satis­ fied. * Transferring Paintings rrem One Canvas to Another. "To transfer a painting from one can­ vas to another is not difficult," said the renovator. "I first paste several thick­ nesses of tissue paper on the face of the painting, after taking it from the frame. When it is dry the canvas is wet thor­ oughly, and I peel it from the back of the picture, leaving the painting fast to the tissue paper. After it dries again I glue a new canvas to the back of the picture, and when ilfhas dried for the fourth time I wet the tissue paper and peel it off. The picture is then feady for the usual cleansing and renovating processes." "Are there many important paintings on wood in existence ?" "Very many, or there were before they were transferred to canvas. When the wood is so old that the paint begins to flake off, from old age, then the only chance to save it from rnin is to transfer it to canvas." "I paste the tissue paper on the face of the painting, and then turn it over and plane off the wood with a plane whose iron has a concave edge. When the wood is worked down thin, I use a chisel with a rounded edge, and when the white paint, which is usually the ground work of a picture, begins to ap­ peal-, I take off the last of the wood with pumice stone and a damp sponge."-- JUtw York Sun. (food to See and Hear. A "man of the prairie," writing to the Prairie Farmer, mentions some things he would like to see: Neat hitching-posts in front of every man's premises, and the wayside ditch so covered as to afford a decent place for horses to stand. Farm-houses, barns and other out-houses get a coat of paint oftener than once in ten years or so. The grass and weeds kept cut in the grave­ yards, and the fences around them in good repair. Good, strong gates, in­ stead of slip-bars or boards. More trees along the roadside, the dead ones removed, and 'the root-sprouts kept down. The men and boys in general clean their "feet-gear" before entering the house. Some things he would like to hear; More musical instruments in farm-houses, and those I do hear in better tune. More tinging and laugh­ ter and less scolding and fretting in the kitchen when I am left in the "best room" to amuse myself while a meal is being made ready. More kind and loving words addressed to sisters by brothers in their 'teens, who have mis­ taken bluster and swagger for marks of manliness. More reading aloud by parents to their children.

In all vocations of life it is practice that makes perfect. Whether it is the muscle, the eye, the ear, the voice, the brain, we are called upon to use, if we would excel, there must be constant and unremitting training. Voh Bulow, the eminent pianist, says: "If I stop prac­ tice one day, I notice it in my playing; if I stop two days, my friends notice it; if I stop throe days, the public notice it." Every young man and every young woman who'would reach any exalted position in any field of labor will find that it'must be attained at the price of great perseverance and constant watch­ fulness.

OF THE 8TAGE. ••tuw* £<•*•." and the Important She Bwiili tor ths B*m«* mt (From the New York World. ( Several years ago the' American public were aroused by the entree upon the stage of a litt e lady who had been previously but little announced. She was one ot an in­ numerable number of aspirants for public favor sad had no instrumentality, aside from her own talents to cause recognition. In spite of this fact, however, she quickly achieved a warm place in the heart of the publlo which she has oontinued to hold ever since. When it was anneunoed, therefore, that Hiss Maud Granger would star the coming season in the play "Her Second Love," written by Mr. John A. Stevens, it was only natural that unusual interest should be manifested, not only in threatical circles, but in other branches of the com­ munity. This waa especially the case, as it was known that Mia< Granger had, for the past year, been in exceedingly-delicate 'Health, and the determination to star in a strong emotional play was the more surpris­ ing. One of the staff of this paper was ac­ cordingly deputized to see the popular lady and verify the rumor or announce its incor­ rectness. Miss Granger's countenance is familiar to nearly every one in the United States. It is a face one seen never to be forgotten. Features remarkable in their outline and contour are surmounted, by a pair of large and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul power. It is easy to see where Miss Granger obtains the aollity to portray char­ acters of the most emotional nature. She pos-esses within herself the elements of feeling without whioh no emotion can be conveyed to an audience. The man ot news fonndthe lady at her home in thin city and van accorded a quiet Welcome. It was evi­ dent at once that she was in greatly im­ proved health, which the expression and color of her countenance both indicated. " Is it true Miss Granger that you contem­ plate a starring tour the coming reasons!"' "Yes, indeed My season begins in Chicago on the llth of July.' From there I go to San Franciapo and then nlav the remainder of the season through the Eastern and Western States." "Are you confident your health will permit each an undertaking?" A ringing laugh was the first reply to this question, after which she said: "Certainly. It is true I have been ill for the past two years, but now I am wholly re­ covered. Few people can have any idea of the strain a conscientious actress undergoes in e-sayinjr an emotional part. It is neces­ sary to" put one's whole soul into the work in order to rightly portray the character. This necessitates an utter abandonment of one's personality and an assumption of the character portrayed. If this is an emotional part it is necessary to feel the same emotions the part is sujmosed to feel. For more than a year I actually cried each night in certain pas-ages of a'part I was playing. The audi­ ence considered it art.* lTobably it was. but those were none the less real tears and the ettect was none the less trying upon my health." "But do you anticipate avoiding this in the future*" "Not in the least I expect to have just ss great a strain us before, but with restored health and a knowledge of how to retain it I do not fear."

There are thousands more who should seize the golden opportunity and begin to live. AVlien a man passes the thirtieth mile- ! x>st and has loved no good woman, he ms lost his best chances of life for happiness, and the sooner he calls a halt, and think* it over the better.

I believe thousands of noble women are to-day suffering agonies of which even their best irieuds and re­ latives know little or nothing, and when I reflect upon it I confess it makes me sad. Now all this misery arises largely from an ignorance of the laws of lite or a neglect to carefully observe them. 1 speak from the depths of a bitter experience in saying this, and I am thankful I know the means of res­ toration, and how to remain in perfect health " "Please explain more fully." ' Well, 1 tiave found a remedy which seems specially adapted for thievery*purpose It is pure and palatable and controls the health and life as, I believe, nothing else wilL It is really invaluable and if all the women in America were to use it I am quite sure most of the suffering and many deaths might JM avoided " ' ' • "What is this wonderfol remedy?"

Subsequently I cre­ ated the pait of Cicely Blaine in "TheGalley Slave,' and also »• tarred in Two NighUi in Home," playing the pait of Antonio. The past ye..r I have been playing in The Plant­ er's Wife,' and the coming season, as I have said, will be devoted to 'Her Seoond Love.'" As the writer was returning home he fell into a train of musing, and wondered if .all the women in this land who are suffering could only know Miss Granger's experience, and the remarkable results achieved by the pure remedy she used, how much suffering might be avoided and how much happiness secured.
