The Kind of Bear that Frightened n
-- Maine Boy.

number OF young men of this city
who were camping out week before last,
near lake some forty miles to the east
ward, had written some letters to their
relatives and friends at home. and in
trusted them to one of the party, who
volunteered to carry them out to the
stage road, several miles distant, to give
them to the driver of the stage, which
reached that point about dusk. The
messenger had been gone nearly half an
hour, whenhe surprised his comrades by
rushing back into camp, painting from
his exertions and evidently thoroughly
scared. In reply to the numerous ques-
tions which were showered upon him,
he related after pausing to get breath
that just before he reached the road
huge bear coolly marched up to the
path in front of him, and sitting down
upon its launches, growled and gnashed
It's teeth. Having no weapons, the mes
senger decided that discretion was a great
deal better than fighting bear unarm-
ed, and he turned and ran, the huge ami
NAL numbering along after him at a
clumsy but still rapid pace. Our hero
was a good runner, however, and out
stripped Bruin short distance from
camp. He was just proposing that his
friends take their guns and go in pursuit
of the bear, when low growl behind
him made him jump off his feet, and he
turned to see one of the party, who,
dressed in bear-skin coat, fur cap and
gloves, had been "playing BEAR for his
delectation on the road, and Just return
ed to camp to hear the conclusion of the
recital of the meeting and pursuit.

Sir Isaac Newton and VOltaire on
Railroad Travelling.

Sir Isaac Newton wrote a work upon
the prophet Daniel, and another upon
the book of Revelations, in one of which
he said that in order TO fulfill certain
prophecies before certain date was
terminated, namely, 1860 years, there
would be mode of travelling of which
the men of this time had no conception :;
nay, that the knowledge of men would
be so increased that they would be able
to travel at therate of fifty miles an hour.
Voltaire, who did not believe in the
inspiration of the Scriptures, got hold
of this and said l.:
"Now look at that mighty mind of
Newton, who discovered gravity, and
told us such maryels for us all to admire.
When he became an old man, and got
into his dotage, he began to study that
book called the Bible; and it seems
that, IN order to credit it's fabulous non
sense, we must believe that the knowl-
edge of mankind must be SO increased
that we shall be able to travel at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. The poor
dotard p exclaimed the philosophic in
fidel Voltaire, in the self-complacencv of
his pity. But WAC is the dotard now

Early Education Shaping Success in
Life

So much of the success or non-suc-
cess of life in after years depends upon
early education that this subject assumes
a degree of Importance which no parext
teacher or guardian should be unmind
full of The smallest part of our educa-
ton is that which we derive from the
text book.
Observation in the worlds great con-
tact and Ill the earnest battle of life is
both man and woman's best education
The difference in mems characters is
very strongly marked. Some men are
weak and timid, really accomplishing
nothing worth mentioning In the whole
course of their lives. Others yield to
no threat or difficulty, and go straight
ahead, prostrating whatever opposition
lies in their path. A good deal of this
is owing to early education. The child
brought up in luxury almost always re-
allies an imbecile manhood. Plant an
acorn in hower-pot, and rear it In a
greenhouse, and though it grow up in
the form of an oak, it viii be quite I'M
like that reared amid the SHOWS and the
storms of the mountain top.
In nine cases out of ten the education
which man gives himself is, after all,
the most important. One of the worst
foes to the success of most men is the
indulgence of a habit of indecision.
Nothing is more enfeebling or destruc-
tive of mental force. The man who
never commits himself, who Is always
delaying and who never makes up his
mind, gives others the impression that
he has little or 40 mind to make up.
The only remedy for this apparent wank
of capacity is promptness.

the principals in which performance shall
be nameless. The bridegroom was man
well advanced in years, having passed
middle life, but possessing the charm of
worldly wealth. He made love to young
lady of about twenty, who, after the re-
peated opportunities of her parents,
finally accepted the proposals of her
aged sutton, but before the time arrived
for the ceremony to take place, repented
and peremptorily declined to consum-
mate the engagement. A young sister,
hardly out of her short clothes. then

offered to take her sisters place upon

mony should be performed This offer
was gladly accepted, the parents sane
toned the bargain, and in due time the
union took place-the minister perform
ing the service doing so with much re-
luctance. After all was over, the young
bride, as if for the first time realizing
her position, seemed suddenly filled
with remorse, and frantically called upon
the clergyman to unite the knot. Upon
being told that it was tao late, she ut
terly refused to have anything further
to do with her newly-made husband, and
left him to make what he pleased out OF
it. Entreaties were of no avail, and the
man took his departure to another part

FORTY YEARS AGO.

In the 1884 there lived In the town of
Berlin a man by the name of Herman
Strote, who had small shop in one of
the principal streets of that famous old
German city. Now this man Strote's
occupation was selling toys for children,
in which he was well patronized The
cid man would improve his leisure hours
by writing letters for persons who would
pay him for it altogether he made a
comfortable living for himself and family,
which consisted of u wife and a beauti-
full daughter of about sixteen years of
age, who was Just then blooming into
womanhood. Taking him as he then
was, one would have found him well
satisfied and content with his lot in life;
he was above want; his wife was a good
housekeeper, and the daughter, Emma,
followed IN her mothers footsteps, and
was almost adored by the old couple,
who had taken great pains in rearing her,
and were now sending her to a select
school for young ladies, where she was
to graduate with high honors.
A young man by the name of Gustaye
Heimath, who styled himself a student
of medicine, lived in the neighborheod,
but in fact the lectures he attended of
the several courses could be almost
counted on the ends of the fingers.
But, being of wealthy parents, he had
too much liberty and went to the bad.
This same student had seen this young
lady Gifted, and tried various ways to get
acquainted, but failed. Until one day,
"as luck would haveit,' as she was re-
turning from school, a careless driver,
who was going at reckless speed, turned
the corner SO abruptly that he would
have run over her had not this student
been near at hand and dragged her from
the feet of the animal, from the very
jaws of death, as it were This then led
TO an acquaintance, in which this student

now to go into society, and receives at
his house none but the persons whom he
knew in the happy old days when he had

presents of thousand or two roubles,
and so on. He is an uneducated man,
but passionately fond of music, and his
one pleasure is to maintain an orchestra.
He engages by the year the best must

armchair at the other end, and they
play to him all day.

Or twelve times in my life;

INDIA-RUBBER TIREs.-It is found
that great advantage is gained for trac-
ton engines by having the India-rubber
tire attached in segments over the solid
ring thus, if a segment gets damaged,
it may be easily and quickly removed,
and replaced by spare segment at q
moderate cost. The India-rubber readily
impresses itself into the inequalities of
the roadway; and, to AVOID the possibility
of slip in wet streets and on clay soils.
steel staples or cross-bars are introduced.
SO arranged as to take the traction with
out neutralizing the benefit derived from
the elastic action of the rubber. With
their wheels thus tired, traction engines
are, it is claimed. equal to much great
er variety of wear, and, of course, are
far better adapted to traverse paved or
very uneven roads.

The nationalities of the population

the inhabitants returned as Canadians
France coded Canada to England more
than century ago, yet the descendants
of the first inhabitants are reported as
French to this time. Figures giving the
number of the present inhabitants of
adult age, born in the Dominion, would
be interesting, as showing whether the
population of the provinces was kept up
by immigration, and whether the native
stock, especially of the English speaking
provinces, do not largely move off to
the States upon reaching adult age
Classified according to their religion,
the bulk of the population is thus divid-
ed: Roman Catholics, 1892, 029 !;
Church of England, 494, O49; Method
lists, 567, 091 Presbyterians, 544, 1913.
Among the various minor classifcations
occur the following Pagans, 1885 /;
Atheists, 90; Deists, 400; no religion,
5,146 Mormons, 534; Mahometans, ID.
