As he emerged | from the woods | stopped to give the mules a breathing { spell and to eat his dinner, which be {carried in a tin bucket.

The bear stopped. smelled at the pork aud guiped it down greedily. Then the animal, noting the source of the morsel, came toward the wagon and rose on his haunches as if to say that another bit of pork would prove acceptable. a second plece, which bruin devoured, and then he posed again. teamster wanted the rest of his dincer himself aud paid no attention to the shaggy intruder. 'The beggar, seeing that the teamster was no longer aware of his presence, snorted sharply two or three times and walked buck and forth across the road as If reconnoitering the situation. Presently he growled, but the teamster, thinking that the beast would go away if he got nothing further, continued his meal. The bear ventured near and finally climbed up the load of bark at the bind end of the wagon. The man was unpleasantly surprised at this move ment of bruin's, as he was wholly unarmed. Accordingly he threw a bit of pork into the road, at fhe same time yell- ing to the bear to direct its attention to the meat. and went and picked it up, but as soon as it wos swallowed and there was no more forthcoming he made an- other charge upon the wagon. The teamster started the mules on- ward. but knew that he could not hope to escape with his heavy load of bark. An idea struck him. He would coax the bear on by feeding the lunch to him until they should come to a friend's house a mile or two along the shoot the old fellow, The teamster sat on the bark, facing backward, his big dinner hucket at band. When the bear came up with the wagon and threatened to climb upon the load the tenmster iossed oat a plece of pork. The supply of this edible was limited, so be tossed the beast a slice of bread, which fell but- ter side up. Bruin nosed it, then licked the butter off and left it. The next slice fell butter side dows, and the bear ignored it. Bolled eggs and cheese fared the same. Bruin wanted pork. The tenmster dealt this out in small bits, which failed to satis- fy, and the bear was growing ugly and aggresgive. At length the teamster saw his friend at work in a field and called to him to run for his gun. The man seemed to realize the state of the case and set off on a dead run for his house, a quarter of a mile distant But the supply of pork was out before he ve turned, and the poor teamster was in a sorry plight. The bear climbed upon the load. The teamster tossed him the last plece of pork and then jumped from his wagon and tore down the road. Bruin, prob- ably thinking that the teamster was feeling with a stock of coveted pork, started after bim. The terrified man bad a fair start, but be stumbled over a stone and fell full length, and the bear was close upon him when there came the loud report of a gun, The friend had come at last The teamster rose and looked round.

Ons of the needs of the day is a | perfectly spherical steel ball, and yet Nude | | it has never been made even in the | MAYONNAISE. © | The Way the Genuine Dressing Is Pre pared by French Ceeks. Housewives concoct all sorts of | Sressings -- cooked and uncooked -- | which they call mayonnaise, but which | Jaborators, much less in the shop for | are not properly entitled to that name. | commercial uses. When we consider | I'he genuine mayonnaise as prepared the importance of ball bearings for au tomobiles, motorcycles and other ma | chinery the imperfections in steel balls must appeal to all as of the greatest moment. Of course we make pretty good steel balls, which could not have been manufactured a few years ago. | Bo far us the eye can discern, they are | perfectly spherical, too, and ordinary measuring instruments will not be able | to detect any difference in them, but | nevertheless they mre mot perfectly spherical. > . A stee! ball for automobile bearings | must be perfect within .0001 inch, and | they are made even more perfect than | this, put mathematical perfection ia ! this respect seems to be almost as il- | lusive as squaring the circlé or discov- ering the perpetual motion machine. When the steel ball was first used in the bearings of bicycles it was a very jraperfect sphere. It was not called | upon to bear any great load, and the | velocity was mot great. At the best | the joad om it was not more than 200 | pounds, and at the rate of sixty miles an hour the revolutions were not more than 720 per minute. Compare that with the load and velocity of the mod. ern ball bearings of automobiles. Fre. quently the load approximates a thou | sand pounds and the velocity is any- | where from 800 to 1,200 revolutions. The small steel balls must take the | maximum load of the car and pass it on to others without blading or catch fog. A slight imperfection in any one ball would cause trouble. In fact, i8 is impossible to use balls with any ap- preciable variation in size from one another, and the more nearly round they are the better the results, Steel balls are not only made more perfect in shape than ever before, but they ure harder and tougher. As there is a tendency to flake, only spe- cial steels can be used in their manu- facture, and these tough, bard steels are ll the more dificult to work with to secure perfect roundness. The chrome steel, of which most balls for bearings are made, is one of the most dificult of steels to cut or shape, and the work of handiing it has developed special tools and machines made of even harder material While we have not yet made the perfectly spherical steel ball and per haps may never succeed, the point of perfection reached is little short of wonderful, The approximately per fect steel ball is a matter of vital im- portance wherever machines and mas chinery are made and used. The ap~ plication of the ball bearing system | is extended to new lines of industrial use each year, and builders of al} | kinds of apparatus are taking advan tage of the perfection reached by the manufacturers of these little spheres : of tough steel.--Harper's.

We have it on the authority of General Greene that on ome occasion' Washington danced for three hours without once sitting down. Patrick Henry would close the doors of his of- fice to betake himself to dancing or fddiiug, and Jefferson dearly loved toi "rosin" his bow for a merry jig. The stoty is told of him that once when away from home he received news of the burning eof his father's house. "Did you save any of my books? he asked of the slave who brought him the tidings. "No, massa," answered the negro, "but we saved the fiddle."

The laws of Framce relative to the out of door life of the masses are made in the interest of the people Furthermore, they are enforced. There is no fixing things with a French po- liceman. If your bicycle has suddenly been twisted into junk by a careless driver the belted and brass buttoned gentleman who arrives on the scene questions you with intelligence and jots down in his notebook the facts of the occurrence as near as he can ascer tain them. Throughout the interview he is polite, alert and painstaking In getting at the exact truth, and, wheth- er you or the offending driver or both accompany him to the police station, he conducts you with a qulet dignity and an air of fullling his duty. It does not make the slightest difference in France who you are or whether or not you have mutual friends or come from his "ward" or are a relative of Congressman So-and-so. If you are at fault you must pay the damages. If the other fellow is to blame you will be ushered from the presence of the | commissaire de police with as much | ceremonial politeness as would be | shown at a diplomatic interview... | If it is boiling hot or freezing cold | and you are in need of information, | go to the nearest policeman, address | him as "monsieur" and raise your bat. | He will immediately return you a mil- {tary salute, listen attentively and give you, as carefully as possible, the nec- essary information, saluting you again as you raise your hat to leave him.--F.

Police Still Call. Out the Hours of the Night at Los Arenas.

Yet you are cheer- fully informed of the fact by the po- liceman shouting, "Las cuatro, flovien- do!" ("Four o'clock, raining.") Many inbabitants have fried in vain to get this stopped, for no useful pur pose whatever is served by the cus- tom, except, perhaps, to the Spanish Bill Slkes, who considers it a very useful guide to the whereabouts of the police, : 1 ¥u Called His Bluff.
