A Fight Between q Tiger and a
Grizzly Bear.

In an article on "Show Life" in the
Chicago Times, the writer tells the fol.
lowing old-time incident:
On one occasion Lent was part owner
of travelling circus and menagerie.
One day he met man out West who had
| grizzly bear for sale. AS the animal
was splendid specimen Of a young
grizzly, Lent purchased him, and after
he got him he found himself in the posi-
ton of the man who drew the elephant.
There was but one cage in the menagerie
that could contain the bear, and that al
ready had an occupant in the shape of a
large and finely-developed Bengal tiger.
Lent told one of his partners that he was
going to quarter the grizzly with the
tiger.
"The dickens you are" was the an
swer. "Why that tiger will make a
wink"
"An right. If he does, I'm satisfied"
says Lent; "Y"u look after your tiger
and I'll take care of my bear"
The grizzly was accordingly lifted into
the cage, the tiger having previously
been driven to an opposite corner by the
application of hot irons. Then all the
employees of the circus gathered to wit
ness the fight. The animals sighted each
other at the same instant, but, while the
tigers eyes blazed with fury and his tail
dashed the bars in his excitement, the
grizzly simply nodded in a sleepy man.
ner, as if in recognition of the presence
of the other beast, and crouched against
the bars awaiting developments. They
remained as far apart as the cage would
permit for at least five minutes, but
every moment the rage of the tiger
seemed to increase, while the bear
seemed to be sinking into deep slum-
Der. At last the tiger began to growl
and sidle toward the bear, moving from
side to side Of the cage as he did SO. The
growing aroused the bear to life, and he
had just time to measure his enemy
when, with the rapidity of lightning, the
tiger sprang forward and alighted on his
head and back. For moment there was
a terrible bowling from both animals as
they rolled over and over in the cage,
and then they separated for an instant,
the bear seeming to have shaken off his
antagonist. During the brief cessation
of hostilities it was seen that the bear
had got decidedly the worst of the COM
bat, as he was bleeding freely from sew
eral gaping wounds.
The hacker of the tiger was delighted
and wanted Lent to consent to having a
stop put to the fight. NO." answered
he. LET them fight, and I'll bet on the
bear" So at it they went again, and
there was terrible fighting for several
minutes. 1t finally ended in the tiger
giving several mournful bowls, and when
they were separated he skunk away to
his corner as meek and submissive look
ing as an animal could be. After that
day the bear bossed that cage, and if the
tiger became unruly he received q blow
from the grizzly's paw that set him to
thinking over past events at once.

Opportunity to Try an Organ Before
Purchasing.

Many person is half persuaded
that a Cabinet Organ would be cap:
ital thing for his family; worth much
more than its cost. Yet they are not
sure that it would be permanently
valued, but fear that after few months
use the family would tire of it, and SO it
would prove a poor investment. The
Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. now offer
their famous Cabinet Organs on terms
which will satisfy all such. They will
rent IN organ with privilege Of pur.
chase. The party hiring may try it as
long as he plcascs, paying only the rent
for it while so doing. If he concludes to
purchase within year, all the rent he
has paid is allowed and deducted from
the price of the organ.-Erch.

which only tells us how things began,
and not what they are nor where they
will carry us, a theory which dares to
say nothing about the quality of God,
but only points out the place of His in
fancy, is a theory curious rather than de-
structive or alarming. Instead of being
alarming it only reminds us of the i'm

Come by what far-of path it may, here
it is, with mind, with love, with charity,
with hope: with love of truth which
can never leave all things, and with a
longing for blessedness which this
career cannot give. If there was a "po
tency of matter" which set all this going

who are familiar with bee culture, to advise me
as TO the best plan for constructing cheap house
i9r wintering bees. Herewith suggest nv plan,
though have never tried it, and simply ask
Ine question: will it dot In the first place hives
are usually made of very thin lumber, hence,
through the cold winter months, many of our
oees freeze out, at least they die out to great
e. notice the lumber of which NEST of the
nives are made is not over seven-eights of an
fhis temperature. ''- ~ ''""u
Ny plan is this Enclose the apiary with a
picket fence; seal up the inside close so the cold
winds cannot get to the bees; make a roof sniff
cIent for shelter, the front to be furnished with
broad plank, so that it can be easily removed ON
warm days when the bees are likely TO play ONT,
Then to protect the bottom say We use dry straw
underneath and between the hives.
This is my plan for constructing a cheap house
for wintering bees. As there is so much Interest
taken with bees, would think it TO the interest
of those engaged in it to invent some pIan Inv
which they can be better protected during RI.

have had some experience in this matter, will
