A Fresh Bear Story,

The latest exciting bear story is to be
found in the Cleveland Leader, which
journal thus tells it.:
An incident occurred during the down
trip Of the steamer D. M. Wilson, last
week, which is worth a place in history.
1t is customary for this vessel, on her up
ward trip, to leave a portion of her fuel
at Wilson's Dock, on the Sault River; to
be taken aboard again after she had
passed the canal locks, on her return
from Marquette.
She had finished taking on coal, and all
hands had turned in to wait for daylight,
leaving solitary watchman in charge of
the deck. Matters being quiet, that
worthy had removed all Of his upper gar
ments, and was taking bath.
In the darkness he heard footsteps, and
recognized familiar old Newfoundland
dog, who had long been. a member Of
the household at the landing. ''Well,
old jack" said lie, "are you huhgry9
Wait minute, and I'll get you a bone,''
at the same time patting lis shaggy coat.
The next moment a scream OF unearth
ly character brought every body on deck
to discover that the visitor was nothing
less than an enormous bear. The scene
that ensued beggars description. It
closed with most Of the dramatis PERSONS
in airy costume, half way up the rigging,
and Crsus Major making his way ashore,
with an axe wound deep in his shoulder.
The deck of the vessel bore marks of the
blood of the conflict on her arrival at
this port.
There was little sleep on steamer or
consort during the remainder of the
night. The bear was undoubtedly large
one, which had been observed swimming
across from the Canadian side the day
previously. g.,~......... z:. -

Bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging
III truitstores think of them as more than
tropical luxury. In fact, they are a
staple article of food in some parts of the
world: and according to Humboldt, an
acre of bananas will produce as much
food for man as twenty acres of
wheat. 1t is the ease with which
bananas are grown that is the
great obstacale to civilization in some
tropical countries. 1t is so easy to get a
living without work that no effort will
ever be made, and the men become lazy
and intolerably sh1ftless. All that is
needed is to stick cutting into the
ground. It will ripcn its fruit in twelve
to thirteen months. with out further care,
each plant having from seventy-fve to
one hundred and twenty bananas;
and when that dies down, after fruiting,
new shoots spring up to take its place
In regions where no frost ever reaches,
bananas are found in all stages of growth,
ripening their fruit every day and every
month in the year. Colonel Whitner,
near Salt Lake, Fla, has probably the
largest banana plantation in the United
States, containing nearly 10000 plants
in bearing. Some of these are large
trees, which do not die after bearing
their fruit; the majority are Of the
dwarf species. which are renewed every
year. Slips are planted about eight feet
apart, and rapidly push up leaves disclos-
ing six or eight small bananas behind
this protection. Some plants will have
sixteen or twenty leaves and punches of
fruit bending over as it ripens, forming
a most beautiful SIGHT,

THE FARM AND HOUSE.

Great attention is now being paid by
the Argentine Republic, South America
to the cultivation of wheat along the river
Plata. There is every reason to believe
that in few years that region will pc one
of the most extensive grain producing To-
calities in the world. Many italian,
French, Russian and other settlers are now
breaking fresh ground there. j.
Many mechanics have had their pa
tience sorely tried when pouring lead
around wet or damp joint, to find it ex-
plode, blow out or scatter from the effects
Of steam generated Dy the heat of the
lead. The whole trouble may be stopped
by putting piece of resin the size of a
mans thumb into the ladlc and allowing
it to melt before pouring.
From sunfower seeds is expressed a
palatable, clear and favo1less oil, the
demand for which in Russia is very great.
1t is exported from St.. Petersburg at
about $50 per gross ton, and is said to be
extensively used, like cotton seed oil,
after purifying, for adulterating olive or
salad oil. A considerable quantity is
grown in Russia for oil pressing; the
plant being largely cultivated in Keels
and Podalia, also eastward on the black
soil lands, the stalks being used for fuel.

though the man who will so leave an i'm

sudden and variable changes of the at

its destruction with great rapidity, has
no right to lift up tho cry of hard times.

The Cellar.

Except in cases of direct poisoning
from foul drinking water, we doubt if
there ever was case of typhoid tendency
that did not originate in foul ce'lar, one
neglected in the fall and spring; and even
when diseases have been communicated
by others, and from a distance, their
fatality and malignitv have been largely
determined by the condition of the air
sent through the house from its foundation
and base, rising in every crack and chink
to attack the weakest and most sensitive
"a fact which cannot be stated too often
until it has been drilled into the ears in
the most negligent and stupid, and in
some way fastened to their brains, if they
have any, and until they cease to call that
a visitation of Providence which is the
result of their own incidence and slovenli-
ness.
When everything has been picked up
in the cellar and "set to rights" scraped
and secured, where that is desirable, a
bucketful of whitewash will not cost q
half-dollar, and will sweeten the whole
winter and spring; and as it does not
need to be done artistjcally, any boy can
put it on, in the rough way that answers,
in half holiday, for he will probable
consider it fine amusement, while if he
dose not so consider it, slight reward
will stimulate his ardor and accomplish
all that is necessary-Harper's Bazar.

The U. y, StensI Service.

Gradually, the wild and ungovernable
forces of nature are, through science, made OF
use to man. Following in the wake of the in
genious inventions for the use of steam and
electricity, comes the organization of the U. s.
Signal Service. Is it not wonderful that a
system could be originated and perfected.
whereby an operator can accurately predict
the weather of a distant locality? And yet ex-
perience proves our ''storm signal" to be reli-
able. Equally great are the advances made in
the science of medicine. Step by step, uncer-
tainties and doubts have yielded to absolute
certainty. The discoveries of Harvey and
Jumer have been succeeded by the Golden
Medical Discovery of DR.. R. Y. Pierce. No
longer need people despair because some ply
stefan has pronounced the lungs unsound
Hundreds of testimonials are on file in the of.
fee of DR.. Pierce from those who had aban.
doned all hope, and had been given up to die
by physicians and friends. Incipient con.
sumption, bronchitis, and scrofulous tumors
speedily, surely, and permanently, yield to the
healing Influence OF the Discovery. If the
bowels be constipated. use DR.. Pierce's Pleas.

Harry marched out, handing the door
man the money as he passed. The tall
gentleman followed with the little girl
and her, dog; and when they were all in
the street once more, he stopped and pat
ted Prince on the head, at the sane time
tucking Harry's hankerchief, which was
hanging half way out, into his Jacket
pocket, and saying, "You'll lose that if
you're not careful. my boy" .'.
Then he kissed both children and went
into the pound again. And Nellie threw
her arms around Harry's neck and gave
him good hug, and told him she should
love him forever, and made him promise
to come and see her and Prince; and they
parted. a:.
"And that's the end of our Fourth. Of
July party" said Harry, a short time
after, to the Jacklow family, as he finish
ed his breakfast and his story at the same
time.
"You're a good 10y, and did just
right" said all the Jacklow family, with
the exception of Mr.. Jacklow, who re-
marked mildly that "that dollar and
ninety-two cents would have kept him in
tobacco long WHILE"
And baby Jennie came and gave her
big brother sweet kiss-in fact, very
sweet kiss, for some Of the syrup which
she had been eating on her bread and
butter went with it; and as she toddled
away, Harry pulled out his handkerchief
to wipe his mouth. It came out with a
jerk, and four bright new silver half dol
lars came with it, and falling on the floor
with pleasant sound, rolled away to-
ward the corners as fast as they could.
But they were bounced upon before they
had rolled foot.

"Good bless him!'' said his mother.
"Three cheers for our side!" shouted
Eddie, and proceeded to give them.

A French Paradise.
Monoure d. Conway in Cincinnati Commerois

Monoure D. Conway in Cincinnati Commercial.
Itrequires little more than twenty
four hours from London to reach Tours,
and yet the differences of all kinds
moral, mental, climatic--are vast enough
to make one feel as if he had gone
thousand miles southwark. The place
where | have the happiness to be guest
is about mile out of the CITY. and it al
most realizes ones dream of Eden. The
beautiful chateau, fronted with terraces
Ornamented with carved stone ratings
and urns filled with flowers, looks out up
on garden of several acres whereof every
square foot has made its contribution to
the general glory of summer. The trees
are so laden with fruit pears, apricots,
purple and golden plnms--that their
branches must needs be buttressed.
Grapevines festoon every wall as ivy does
in England, and the cluster of various
shades in tint are suspended like tassels
IN lovely tapestry; one feels almost
oriental enough to have to compare an
occasional cluster to the Pleiades. The
gold and silver fishes glitter IN their
fower-tringed marble basin where the
fountain plays. Nearly every tree of
which one ever heard is growing in
his garden, and their interlacing branch
es frame an endless arch over every
pathway. The trees, flowers, and fruits
which might be harmed during the win
ter-which it is said visits even Tours
yet flourish gloriously in huge boxes, and
Mignon might have found here the land
where the citron grows. Beneath my
window are the swelling oranges and
lemons, and no end of figs and aloes; and
II is but for little time in the year that
these need be transferred to the conser-
vatory. A hundred yards in front of the
garden flows the Loire, whose beauty is
congenial with the scene. Amid banks
covered with grapevines as far as the eye
can reach, the crystal river runs over a
bed of sand-no trace of slime or mud in
all its nei ghborhood-and on its side we
pitch our bathing tent each morning, and
enjoy its sparkling food beneath over
hanging willows. Yet the sum my friend
pays per annum for his paradise-house
elegantly furnished, large enough for his
numerous family, stables, t-houses,
orchards and all, even including a wine
press-is just $500. Fair still VINE
(white) costs about eight cents the quart in
any considerable quantity; the finest red
costs - cents the quart. Champagne
ranges from 80 cents the Quart bottle
and 42H5 cents TO 60 cents-the highest
price. The villas are connected with the
city by omnibuses and tramway. The
city has superb opcra-house, one of the
finest in France; magnificent library,
and perfect market.

sUSAN's SHAME.

Horrible Case Of I,.fanttctde Near Har.
rodsb"rO, Ky.
Mt. Vernon Special to Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
Two homicides, an attempted rape, and
three or four minor offenaes ought to be suf-
fcient to place upon the crime calendar OF
Rockcastle county, in one month. But these
crimes were not sufficient, it appears, and
they fade into insignifcance when you hear
the details of an atrooity which occurred in
this county last week. and which almost sur
passes belief.
Susan Randall is an unmarried white
woman about 26 years old, who has been for
the past year living in the employ of an old
farmer named VIM. Lowrie, on Skaggs'
creek, in this county. Susan has, during all
this time, been receiving the attentions of q
man named Monk, who lives in the neigh
borhood. She has been an industrious SER
want, however, and prudent SO far as appear
ances went. No one suspected that she was
enclente until about week ago, when old
Mrs. Lowrie became suspicious that Susan
was soon to become q mother. She said
nothing about it, however, to anyone except
Susan, who Indignantly denied that there
was prospect for such an OCCASION.
Last Thursday evening Susan left the
house and wten to the woods near by,
whence she returned in little while with
an arm full of wood. After she had been at
tho house short time she complained of
being sick and faint, and was presently in
duced to lie down. Mrs. Lowrie suspected
that something had happened, and she dis
patched her husband to the woods. After a
short search he discovered newborn, male
infant, finely developed, covered with leaves
and rocks, it's head smashed to jelly, and
its throat torn and bleeding. Strange to
say the child was still living. He
carried it to the house, washed and
dressed it. The little creature
lived in great suffering till the next morn
ing, when it died. just before it's death the
mother for the first time showed it any atten
