Die The muscular neck is twice as large
as the head and on this occasion twice
was Bruin pulled up, and twice, assisted
by his paws, he twisted his neck ont pf
the moose and came down. amid the cheers
OF crowd that was rapidly passing into
sympathy with the four,footed animal
The third attempt proved CHARM
Bruln kicked and struggled at the end of
the line as naturally as man would have
done, and at the close of twenty minutes
he was pronounced dead bear by the
learned FACULTY in attendance.
The body was lowered with some haste
and placed on the table.
AT the first shock of the battery the
struggles were renewed. AT the second
discharge the effects were more decided.
and growls were added. At the third
shock Bruin sat upon his launches and
gazed stupidity at the audience The au-
dIence reclpgOca;ed the attention with loud
cheers.
While this was going on, the subject of
these wonderful experiments happened TO
get sight of the fat ianitOr, and while
the fourth shock was being administered
he suddenly jumped from the table and
started for his corpulent foe. The ring
that up to that moment had been crowd
ed was abruptly cleared. A fair field
was given the affrighted official, who fair
ly aStonished himself at the speed with
which he carried his adipose over the
ground. So long as the bear chased the
Janitor the crowd was entertained In
all such exhibitions, however, certain wo-
men are sure to be present, who mar the
sport by ialntlng at The wrong time, and
so force the people 10 carry them out of
doors. This is TO be reprehenGed, ard
the women should be rebuked.
On this occasion, when the enjoyment
was at its highest, and the hated janitor
by the. way a bod -snatchcr-was
making his third round, with ihe bear
gaining on him, three or four inconsider-
ate women began screaming, The peo-
pie of that day were familiar with bears,
and had 10 fear Of the animal But there
was something mysteriousIy alarming
about bear that had been dead and
brought 10 life again. And SO, when the
screams were heard, great panic fell
upon The crowd. The efforts made to
escape was fearful Over The seals, and
ont through the thin canvass, in every di-
rection, the multitude fled like rats from
falling building. and in the midst of the
tumult down came the tent. Out from
under it the audience hurried, climbing on
fences o. roofs, and alleys. Among these
was the prosecuted janitor. At last the
medicated bear, full of galvanism, appear
ed and set off over the common, followed
by all the dogs in The country.
For many years after this strange event
in Cincinnati and its vicinity hanging wa;
regarded with great contempt. The sim
pie people believed that all the condemned
had TO do was TO sell lis body TO the
doctors Then those learned chaps
would knock little lightning into the
corpse and set the man on end, as good
as ever

BENJAmIN FRANKLIN.-MarkT Twain,

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.-Mark Twain,
in his Memoir of Franklin, says:
"What an adroit old adventurer the
subject of this memoir wasl In order TO
get "a chance to fly his kite on Sunday. he
used to hang key on the string and let
on to be fishing for lightning.
"He Invented stove that would smoke
your head off in foar hours by the clock.
One can see the almost Internal satisfac-
ton he took in 1t, by the fact of giving it
bis name
Gle was always proud of telling how
he entered Philadelphia, for the first time,
with nothing in the world but two shil-
lings in his pocket and four rolls of bread
under his arm. But really, when you
come to examine il critically, it was nos
thing anybody could have done 1t.
''Franklin said once, In one of his in
spired flights of mahgEity:
"Farly to bed, and early to rise,
Makes man healthy, wealthy and wise"
As if it were an object 20 a boy 10 be
healthy, wealthy and wise on such terms
The sorrow that that maxim has cost me,
through my parents experimenting on me
with it, tongue cannot tell. The legiti-
mate result Is my present state OF general
debility, indigence and mental alteration
My parents used to have me up before
nine o'clock in the morning, sometimes,
when WAS a boy. If they had let me
take my natural rest, where would have
been now Keepiug store, no doubt, and
