At the Time Of the Flood.

Tho opinion OF those who have given
the most attention to this subject il that
the human race, Mt the time Of the
dolugo, occupied but small portion 0:
tho earth's surface, lying mostly be.
tween the Tigris and the Euphratcf,
and that the Hood was confined to that
region. Smiths Dictionary Of tie
Bible" devotcs over three pages 10
critical examination Of tho extent OF the
deluse, md cOnclusively proves that
there is no evidence in Scripture for n
general flood over the whole globe; and
that tho astronomical, geological, and
natural history difficulties to DO cncouu-
tered, if we entertain such IN opinion,
arc 30 great rs to render such n state on
earth impossible, unless we arc pre-.
pared to suppose series Of tho most
stupenlous miracles. The date usually
assigned to the Noahian flood is oslo
b. @. The Chinese description is in
many respects singularly like the Bibli.
cal, and according 10 the Jesuit, NJ.
Martinius, these people compute it to
have taken place 1000 years before the
Christian err. Fah.he, with his wife,
three sons and three daughters, alone
escaped. But the story Of flood that
destroyed all living things upon the
earth save one man. who thereafter peo-
pies il, is to he found among tho legends
Of all nations and the LITTER the tradi-
ton, the nearer it approximates in detail
to that OF the dcluge. The Chaldean
account Of flood in the time OF Xisr-
hus, rs preserved in q fragment Of
Berosus, agrees in almost MI particulars
with TINT Of the Bible. For the account
Of the flood, rs given in the Koran,
which is apparently drawn from Biblical
and Persian sources. consult Sales
"Koran." Other notices OF n deluge
may be found in the Ph@nician
mythology; in the Sibylline Oacles ;
among the Syri'ns; among the Arme.
mans. The Indian trmlitions, as we
find il in tho Mahabharata, agrees most
remarkably with the Biblical account;
in tho popular version rs given in the
PuranRs, it is so much disguised in
allegorical imagery rs to lose all 70
semblance, but in the Catapat'ha
Brahmnna, which is the most ancient OF
alr, the resemblance rs referred to above
is striking.-Stmday Tines.

A Repentant Lion.

In tho beginning OF tho last century,
there was in the menagerie at Cassel q
lion that showed M astonishing degree
Of tameness toward the woman who had
the caro- OF him. This went so far that
the woman, in order to amuse tho com
pauy which came TO see the animal,
would often rashly place not only her
hand, but even her head, between his
tremendous jaws. She had frequently
performed this daring act without sui.
fering injury: but once, having intro.
duccd her head into the lions mouth,
the animal made n sudden snap, and
killed her on the spot. Undoubtedly
this catastrophe was unintentional on
the part of tho lion; probably at tho
fatal moment the hair Of the woman 3
head irritated the lions throat, and COM
PEELED him to sneeze or cough.
This supposition seems to BIO con-
firmpd by what followed; for ms soon rs
tho lion perceived that he had killed his
attendant the good tempered and gratc.
full animal exhibited signs OF tho deep
est melancholy; laid himself down by
tho tide of tho dead body, which he
would not suffer to DO taken away from
him: refused to take any food. and III a
few days pinned himself to death.

An Awful Story.

There was once m awful little girl,
who Ind M awful why of saying :" aw-
full" to everything. She lived in an
awful house, in MI awful street, in IN
awful village, which was m awful dis
lance from o, cry other awful place. She
vent to M awful school, where she had
M awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out Of awful books. Every day
she was 80 awful hungry that she ate an
awful amount Of food, so that she looked
awful healthy. Her hat was awful small,
and her feet vera awful large. She went
to IN awful preacher. When she took
MI awful walk, she climbed awful hills,
mud when she got awful tired, she at
down under Nh awful tree to rest her
self. In summer she found tho weather
awful hot. md in winter awful cold.
When it didn't rain, there was an awful
drought, aud when an awful drought
was over there was m awful rain. So
that this awful girl was all the time in
m awful state, and il sho does not get
over saying lawful about everything,
she will, by.and.bye, come to IN awful

The Cost of COIning Money,

DR.. Linderman, director OF the Uni.
ted States mint, has written letter to
the committee on appropriations in
reference to tho rate Of compensation
paid ut Western mints, which the com.
mittee think too high. DR.. Linderman
says recent examination shows the rate
to be rather below than above that paid
by private establishments in the Sumo
localities; therefore there is no violation
OF law in paying the present rate of CON-
pensation. He says tho rate Of COM
pensation ut Western minis, as well rs
tho cost Of all supplies, is above That at
Philadelphia, and for this reason: 1t
has been determined to run tho Philn.
delphia mint during tic coming fiscal
year on subsidiary coin to its utmost
capacity, and, rs far ms possible, work
the skilled employees overtime. 10 do
this will require M appropriation of
$3.50, 900 for wages md 81 u, 200 for in
cidental expenses. As the law requires
silver coins to be substituted for frac.
tional currency rs rapidly aS possible, it
will DO absolutely necessary to run all
The minis to their full capacity during
tho next fiscal year, and tho necessary
fer 'hiR purpose arc
earnestly recommended u DO malu.
The director says ave shall have 10
strike atleast l40, 900, 900 pieces Of silver

say nothing Of the gold and miuor coin

Too Much for the Bears,

Senator Foster, who lived for many
years Mt Brighton, Vt, though not
large man, Ind great strength. Being
in the woods one dny, he saw two bear
cubs lying on the ground, with their
noses turned toward each other. He had
gun, but he wanted them alive. Pine.
ing his gun in position where he could
swing it under his arm, after ho had SO.
cured his prey, le crept softly to tho
sleeping animals, and suddenly grasped
each by the nose. He expected in this
manner to hold them so firmly that they
could not squeal, but one Of them fell
from his grasp. Nothing daunted,
Jack caught him by the hind leg, Sc.
curcd his gun, and started for home on
the run.
The cub whose nose was free set mp 4
loud cry, and the old mother soon made
her appearance. Jack heard her crash.
ing through the bushes after him. 1t
was but fifty rods to the clearing, and he
Lad but ten rods the start. 1t was n
case Of life md death, but he wouldn't
give up the cubs. There was high log
fence just in the edge OF the clearing,
aud fortunately large log lay along
side. With one tremendous bound Jack
leaned on the log. Another muscular
bound carried him over the fence into
the field. The bear was on the fence rs
soon as Jack struck tho ground. But
she hcsitated n moment about following
him in tho open field, and he sped away
so fast that she finally turned bNck into
tho woods, and Jack escaped.
On another occasion this Nimrod was
in the woods unarmcd, one March day,
when the SNOW was six feet deep, md
the surface so soft that no one could
walk on it without snow shoes, pair of
which Jack had on. a bear which had
just awakened from his winter nap made
n dive Mt him. He lcapcd away from tho
brute, but went deep into the snow, and
bruin was upon him. The battle begun,
man and beast rolling over each other
in the desperate struggle. As often as
tho bear tried to seize him with her
teeth, or ovcrpower him with the fatal
hug, jack would always save himself by
kicking her on the nose with the snow
shoes.
Finally, with one fierce plunge Of
claws and teeth, the brute fastened upon
jack, and failing to hold him, tore OF
almost all his clothing ut n singleswoop;
but, fortunately, Just at that moment he
hit the tip Of her nose n most powerful
kick. A blow on tho end OF the nose
causes pain so acute rs to disable bear
for time, and it had that effect in this
case. The brute gave back q little, and
while she was wincing under the pain,
Jack regained his feet and got several
steps away. His assailant started after
him again, but the snow was soft and
she almost buried herself at every step,
while Jack walked on the surface and
escaped.
So his snow shoes, which rendered
him clumsy fighter, finally saved hia
life,
