A RQgua'S KuSe.

| An artist has recently published. in n
French journal, an account of his Swiss
sketching tour. On a beautiful after
noon in June, Of the present year, he
left his hotel at Interlaken. went out
alone with his camp.stool and easel, and
strayed as far as the foot of the Jungfrau.
As he was about to begin his sketch he
wasstartled by seeing few yards in front
of him, a huge bear, that growled
ferociously. He seized six-chambered
revolver and levelled it at the beast, but
before he could fire, he heard the words,
" Halt Halt !" The bear sat on his
hind legs and wrung his fore.paws.
"What," cried the artist, edo bears
speak English ?" Then holding the re.
volver close to the nose of the pretended
beast, he demanded, What dost thou
in this accursed costume ?" The rogue
in the bears skin replied that he was
merely earning his living. He was
driver by profession, but the season had
been very bad one, aud he was obliged
to take another trade. He had entered
into a compact with number of guides
to clothe himself in bears skin,
(which I can assure you is as hot as
in such weather as this" and
plant himself in one of the favorite
mountain paths. "When one of my
associates comes along this road with a
tourist I suddenly show myself. The
foreigner is ready to die with fright, but
The courageous guide rushes at me and
lrives me away, naturally receiving a
reward for his bravery in
.isking his own life in order to preserve
hat of his employer" In the evening
he bear and the guide generally met at
IN inn and divided the spoil. The bear
pleaded SO piteously that the artist did
lot have the heart to have him arrested.

A Hint to Duck Raisers.

It is we'll known that tho far-famed
canvas back duck of the Chesapeake de-
rives its delicate and peculiar SAVIOR
from the vallseneria, or wild celery, on
which it feeds in those waters. An in
telligent agriculturist has turned this
knowledge to useful account by coping
and feeding the common domestic duck
upon the tops and roots of the garden
celery for a week or two before killing
them. which is said to greatly improve
their flavor and altogether destroy the
rankness which is generally observable
in the barn-yard fowl. The plan is
worthy of a trial by ron pirants.

Mighty Fall In the Senate.

A Washington special says: Senator
Maxey with much warmth was elegantly
depicting the grievances of Texas people
by reasons of frequent incursions on
their territory by Mexican Greasers.
The big heart of Senator Davis, of lii
nois, was touched, and leaving his own
seat he passed over nearer Maxey's posi-
ton and planted himself in q seat made
for ordinary Senators. He had no sooner
got into it than the cane-seat ripped
away like SO much blotting paper and
the spectacle was presented to the digni-
fed Senate of David Davis, weighing
over three hundred pounds, jammed into
q position too small by odds to contain
his adipose, with his feet elevated, head
down, pantaloons torn, and helpless ms a
child until righted by his colleagues,
He looked after the accident very much
like school-boy who had been thesvic-
tim of practical joke at the hands Of
his fellows. OF course, Senators didn't
laugh, but the galleries broke out in q
puffaw.

Suggestions About Reading.

The long winter evenings are now
coming on, and willafford opportunities
for reading which all should improve.
One of the wisest of American college
professors used to tell his students,
Read-read almost anything; but read.
Anything not absolutely corrupt is bet
ter than reverie-better than entire
stagnation Of mind" Bacon declares
that reading maketh full man. "
There are varieties of intellectual food.
The prescription, "milk for babies and
strong meat for men," applies to mind
as we'll as to body; and does the other
adage, "What is one mans poison is
another mans meat"
Read. if you are equal to the task, the
few choice books of thought that stimu-
late and teach you to think. 1t is whole
some and bracing for the mind to have
it's faculties kept on the stretch, as they
are by such books. 1t is like climbing
hill. But despise not those who can
not climb as high as You can. Let
them enjoy other books that convey in
struction or communicate power without
straining their minds. With majority
of those who are at work during the day,
reading is but recreation in the eve
ming. But merely as recreation it is
invaluable. 1t lifts them out of their
narrow circle of low anxieties and sell
fish joys. 1t quickens their sympathies
and expands their views. 1t ushers
them into ideal "galleries of delight"
which their fancy frescoes with pictures,
outlined and crndely colored,
perhaps, in comparison with those OF
your own stately Imagination, but none
the less vivid and inspiring for them.

The Influence Of Malaria Counteractcd.
That the harmful influence upon the human
system of malaria may be enectually counter.
acted has been demonstrated for years past by
the protection afforded the inhabitants Of vast
miasma-b breeding districts in North and South
America, Guatemala, Mexico and the West
Indies by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Used
as preventive they have invariably been
found to be most reliable safeguard against
chills and fever, bilious remittents and still
more malignant types Of mslarious disease
and when employed as q remedy have always
proved their adequacy to the task Of ersdicat-
ing such maladies from the system. For dis
orders Of the stomach, liver and bowels, which
ticularly rife, the Bitters are prompt and
thorough remedy. They also strengthen the
system, tranquilize the nerves, promote diges-
ton and sound sleep, and impart unwonted
roliah for food,

Monkeys Tricks at an Aquarium.

The other day, after the visitors had
retired from the New York Aquarium. a
sportive monkey known by tie name of
sullivan was allowed the freedom of
the building, when, after duly inspect
ing the fishes in the various tanks, he
sought higher field Of operations. He
ran up one of the pillars and amused
himself by hanging head downward.
This did not seem to satisfy his desire
for fun, as with a sudden spring he
bounded upon statue of Venus which
stood upon shelf above the seal tank,
when his weight toppled it over, and
"Sullivan and Venus arrived in the
seal tank together. Venus, unfortu-
nately, fell upon Ned, one of the trained
seals. fracturing his skull and sealing
his fate for all time. "Sullivan was
captured and returned to his cage un-
hurt.

Female Convicts OF Slug Sing.

In accordance with recent New York
State law, which says that female co.,.
viots shall be confined only in the peni-
Tertiary, the women who have been in
mates in Sing Sing, six hundred and
sixty.six in number, were removed to
the Grow Hill Penitentiary. in Brooklyn,
recently. The women, with their per.
sonal effects tied up in handkerchiefs
and bedquilts, were lodged between
decks on the propeller Leader aud
brought down the Hudson. They were
dressed in the blue and white raiment OF
Slug Sing convicts. Seven OF them are
serving life.sentences. Jane Brooks was.
sentenced in 1853 for killing man in
Allegheny county through jealousy.
Ann Barrey was sentenced in 1866 for
throwing her child into the river. Lodica
Friedenberg was sentenced in 1875. She
is m old woman Of eighty, who is simple
minded, and who is likely to get par
don before long. She was sentenced for
the murder Of her sisters husband,
whose head she chopped off with an ax.
Polly Fish has been the longest q con.
Wet, and has been nj Sing Sing for
twenty years. She stood in one spot
during the whole trip, with her hands
crossed in front OF her, and looking very
patient and amiable with her mild face
and short gray curls. She killed her
child. Mary Johnson, a colored woman,
was sentenced in 1865 for the murder of
her child, and Emma Oriak, q Polish
was sentenced for life in 1875,
on account Of an aggravated case of ar
son. Emma Wimple was sentenced last
year for life for the murder of her hus-
band. She had lover whom she pre-
ferred and she would put poison into the
husbands tea. Half of the women
smoked, and those -unfortunates who
we're not presented with cigar, had re-
course to their clay pipes. All the way
Town the river there was singing, which
vas done by the colored woman for the
most part. The company were we'll sup
,lied with Mr.. Sankey's book. which was
II but sung straight through. With the
'est of behavior and with singular
heerfulness. the women sailed down the
hudson, and at the dock by Hamilton
cry they entered the Black Maria with
he same gay good nature.

There are those indeed, whom the

is desire in some men to have their
real characters known, and therefore
they speak for themselves, and with
more than with perfect justice. Vanity

merit or good feelings should be neg

Aheep Browsing above the Clouds.

/
Probably the largest and highest rock
in the known world is the South Dome
of Yosemite. Standing at the fork of
tae upper valley, it rears itself, solid
rocky reef, 5000 feet above the ground.
A more powerful hand than that of a
Titan has cut away the eastern half,
leaving sheer precipice over mile in
height. No man ever trod the top of
this dome until last year. Former visi-
tors gazed in wonder at the spikes driven
into the rock by hardy spirits, who had
repeatedly endeavored to scale it. The
shreds of rope dangling in the wind told
the story OF their failure. Last year,
however, after thousands of dollars were
spent, several persons found their way
to the top OF the dome, and this summer
two sheep were discovered browsing on
the hitherto inaccessible penk. Mrs. A.
j. Murphy, wife OF a late hotel proprie-
tor in the valley, writes to lady in New
York as follows:
John Anderson is building stairs up to
the top of the South Dome. You can
go up now by holding on to rope, but
it is quite tiresome. trip A few ladies
in the valley have made the ascent, and
1 am sorry I did not attempt it. But 1
am one of the few who have seen the
sun rise on the top of Clouds Rest, and
It's glory will never fade from nv
Strange to say, two sheep found their
way to the top of the South Dome this
summer, dam and her lamb. How
they ever got there is more than any one
can tell. They found bunch grass and
shoots to eat, but no water-only the
lew that fell on the dome at night.
Anderson was going 10 carry them up
some water when I left.
