Up in the Lehigh valley there is
hotel keeper who has mountain
about quarter Of a mile from his
house, and it occurred TO him that
it would be a good idea if he could
fix things SO that magnificent echo
could be heard from the mountain
by persons who stood at his hotel
and halooed. So he engaged q boy
to secrete himself behind a clump
of trees, with orders to repeat the
words of any one talking on the
roof of the hotel, After practising
to make sure, the landlord announced
one day his discovery of the echo,
and took up lot of people to enjoy
it. They called tor half an hour,
but no echo responded. At last,
when the landlord had become
crimson with rage, and was about
to give in, the echo came, but not
in the shape expected. It said: "Bin
down. to the spring fur mother. Fire
away now. I'm, all gight'n The
guests smiled, aud mine host sud-
denly disappeared. It is dangerous
now to mention the word ssecho" at
that hotel.

A grizzly bear, known as "Old
Brin," has lived in the vicinity of
Wcbbcr Lake, GAL, for many years
past, and various attempts have
been made to kill or capture him
alive, Hundreds Of rifle shots have
been fired at him without any other
apparent result than to arouse his
ferocity and cndanger the lives Of
those who fred at him, Hunters
who have met him at different times
say that his track measures fourteen
inches In breadth, and that the mons
ter must weigh over 1000 pounds.
"Old Brin," as he is called, was
caught several years ago in a huge
steel trap, weighing over fifty
pounds, and made expressly for his
capture.
lie smashed the trap in pieces
and escaped; but in performing
this feat his forepaw be- anne crook
ed, as appears by the imprint on the
snow. John King, an old hunter
at Webber Lake, says: "Old Brin''
must have several pounds of lead
in him if all the bullets fired at him
took effect" About two weeks ago
Dan Wobbcr and John King, while
leading q horse OH y trail near Web
Der Lake, met "Old Brin." Web
Der escaped with the horse, while
King found safety in climbing a
tree out Of the bears reach. ,ta
After awhile the bear left. King
descended and made q second at

Smith made many valuable expert
ments Of the effect Of carbonic acid
upon the lungs, and lie concludes rs
follows:
"The fact that men and animals
die very rapidly from lnhaling pure
carbonic acid, while they live com
paratively much longer in nitrogen
or hydrogen gasses, is explained b.
this: that in an atmosphere Of car
bonic acid the blood cannot give off
any portion OF that gas, but, on the
contrary, absorbs more of it, by
which the small proportion Of oxy-
gen in venous blood is expelled
from the blood, and consequently
it's vital functions are much imped-
ed, nay arrested. \ When the
inspired air has the same compost,
ton as that which is cxhaled, the
object of respiration is no longer
attained. The vcnous blood is no
longer changed INTO arterial; diff
Guilty of breathing, and finally sutfo
cation, come on, just as if the
mouth and nose had been closed"
The effect of carbonic acid in the
air is to make the pulse fall, and in
crease the number Of inspirations.
"rhe Senses" DR.. Smith assures us,
"fail to guide us well, and if we
look at the important vital acts
the circulation Of the blood and res
piration-we find that death has be-
gun, SO to speak, and that life is
going out as quietly as candle"

Oliver Wendell Holmes' Tun.The
Dry Goods Salesman.

eThe Poet at the Breakfast Ia
BILE" says lin the August Atlantic)
that he treasures up with interest
all the words uttered by the sales
man-and then goes on to make a
sketch Of that person:
1t must have been noticed that he
very rarely speaks. Perhaps he had
an inner life, with its own deep
emotional and lofty contemplative
elements, but as we see him he is
the boarder reduced to the simplest
expression Of that term. Yet, like
most human creatures, he has gen.
eric and specific characters not un-
worthy of being studied. I notice
particularly certain electrical
briskness Of movement, such as one
may see in q squirrel, which clearly
belongs to his calling. The dry
goods mans life behind the counter
is succession of sudden, snap per-
ceptions, and brief series of co-ordi-
nate spasms, as this:
"Purple calico, three-quarters
wide, six yards"
Up goes the arm; bang! tumbles
out the fiat roll, and turns half a
dozen somersets, as if for the fun Of
the thing; the six yards hurry
over the measuring nails, hunching
their backs up like six canker-
worms; out jump the scissors, snip,
clip, rip; the stuff is wisped up,
brown-papcred, tied, labelled, deliv-
cred, and the man is himself again,
like child just come out of con-
niption fit. Think of q man having
some hundreds of these semi-epilep-
tic fits every day, and you need not
wonder that he does not say much;
these fits take the talk out Of him.
But because he, or any other man,
does not say much, IL does not fol-
low that he may not have, as I have
said, an exalted and intense inner
life. l have known q number Of
cases where a man who seemed
thoroughly commonplace and un-
emotional has all at once surprised
everybody by telling the story Of
his hidden life far more pointedly
and dramatically than any play
wright, or novelist, or poet could
have told it for him, ! will not in
telligence, Beloved, by saying how
he has told it,
