Glazed Pots For Plants.

Glazed pots are condemned by rsost
writer's. The majority Of these writers
are greenhouse men, or those with but
little experience with growing plants in
the dry air Of our parlors and living
rooms; and in watering, those in glazed
pots would naturally receive the same
supply as those in cinnamon porous pots
alongside. The evaporation from the
porous pots wonld take place much more
rapidly than from the glazed. and tine
one would be comparatively dry while
the other would be still wet. The next
watering repeats this process, and the
result is quickly seen. The plant in the
glazed pot perishes at once, or drags out
slckly miserable existence. Glazed
pots can be used with good results in the
parlor or living room. If the drainage
is good, so that the surplus water can
pass off, there are many plants will grow
we'll in them. To this may he added
that many people are very irregular in
watering house plants. They forget 10
attend to it until the dry and parched ap.
pearance of the earth admonishes them OF
their neglect. Of course the plant in the
unglazcd pots suffers worse under this
treatment, for the earth ge,s dry from
top to bottom. while in the glazed pot
the great bulk of the Garth being protect.
ed from rapid evaporation, may remain
comparatively moist, though the top il
dry.-Jou77aaZ of Chemistry

The Queen and the Herd Laddie.

One day some years ago, when Her
Majesty was standing on tho public road
near Balmoral skctching the castle from
particular point, 4 flock of sheep ap.
preached Her Majesty. Being intent on
her work, she took no notice Of the flock,
and merely moved little nearer the side
of the road. A boy in charge of the
sheep shouted at the top of a stentor,an
voice:
"Stan' DOT u the road, oman, and lat
the sheep gaze by!'
Her Majesty not moving out of the way
quite so fast as the shepherd wished, he
again shouted:
FIAT are ye standin' there .or' Gang
DOT o. that, and lat the sheep pass!'
One of Her Majesty's attendants, who
had been at distance, on hearing his
Royal mistress thus rudeIy assailed, went
up to the shepherd and thus addressed
him:
"Do you know whom 1t Is you have
been speaking so rudely to, boye"
"Na,-I neither ken nor care; but be
she ia she likes, she sudna be j. the
sleeps road"
''That's the Queen" said the official.
The boy looked astonlshed, and after
recovering his senses, said, with great sim
plicity:
"The Queen! Cd, fat way disna she
pit on claes that foulk Gun ken her2'

Ltassoing q Bear.

How Bold Texan Handled Bruin in q Mes
quite Thicket.
II. P. Fancher was trying to catch a
horse, and was riding rapidly after him
through thicket of mesquite, when he
suddenly came upon . huge bear. A
chase at once commenced, Mr.. Fancher
attacking with his pistol, and bruin, pro-
badly nearly overcome with heat: trying
to make successful retreat. Mr.. F. fred
five shots without bringing down his
game, and having only one charge left,
concluded to change his tactics. Uncoil.
ing the rope ased as lariat, which was
tied to his saddle, he made lasso, and
attempted to rope his bear. The first at
tempt was unsuccessful, the rope getting
into the animals mouth. The next
proved successful throw, the rope get
ting on the ANIMALS neck. A quick
movement on the part of the bear jerked
the rope off Mr.. F.'s hand and the bear
resumed his retreat, closely followed by
his pursuer on horseback. Finding it
difficult to approach tie bear near enough
to catch hold of the rope, Mr..
F. dismounted and continued the
chase on foot. Seeing this the bear
slackened his speed, evidently not caring
if his pursuer did come up with HIM. He
occasionally stopped and looked back, as
if expecting company. Declining hand
to-hand encounter with large bear, Mr..
F. returned to his horse, and calling to his
cousin, Mr.. T. Fancher, resumed the
chase. With the aid of the stick he pos
sessed himself of the end of the rope,
which was about thirty feet in length,
and fastened it to the saddle. Now com
menced the frantic actions of the bear in
his savage efforts to release himself. He
plunged in every direction, nearly throw
ing the horse, and showing evident in
tention to free himself at all hazards.
But his captor managed to retain his
prisoner and at the same time keep his
horse out of the way Of the savage brute.
until shot from the six-shooter of his
cousin put the bear hors du combat. The
fore paw exhibited by Mr.. f., and left
us, is the largest ever seen in this section,
and indicates, SO old hunters tell US, that
the owner, in good condition, would have
weighed 600 pounds.

LOOK UP, NOT DOWN.

Life, to some, Is full of sorrow,
Half is real, half they borrow
Full of rocks and full of lodges,
Corners sharp and cutting edges.
Though the Joy bells may be ringing,
Not song you'll hear them singing
Seeing never makes them wise,
Looking out from downcast eyes.
All in vain the sun is shining,
Waters sparkling, blossoms twining,
They but see, through these same sorro VS.
Sad to-days, and worse to-morrows,
See the clouds that must pass over;
See the weeds among the clover;
Everything and anything,
But the gold and sunbeams bring.
Drinking from the bitter fountain,
10! your mole-hill seems a mountain,
Drops of dew and drops OF rain
Swell into the mighty main.
All in vain the blessings shower,
And the mercies fall with power
Gathering chatf ye tread the wheat,
Rich and royal heath your feet.
Let it not be so. my neighbour,
Look up. as you love and labor,
Not for one alone woes walls:
Every man has cares and trials,
Joy and pain are linked together,
Like the fair and cloudy weather.
May We have, oh, let us pray,
Faith and patience for to-day.

A Mad Ok.
A Farmers Experience with an Ok Suffer-
ing from Hydrophobia

A Farmers Experience with an Ok Suffer-
ing from Hydrophobia
Readi1g (Pa> Eagle.
A horrible scene was witnessed near
Orwigsburg, schuylkiil county, Thurs
day. George Herman, well:to-d do farmer,
narrowly escaped being killed by an OK
which was suffering from hydrophobia.
A lew days ago it was bitten by a dog
supposed to be mad. Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Herman noticed that the OK act
ed strangely, and he penned it up in
shed in the barn-yard. About four
O'Clock yesterday morning he was
awakened by hearing strange sounds in
the direction of the barn. Surprising one
OF his hcIses was unweli, he went out,
and was surprised to see the OK raving
around the barnyard, uttering low means
and tearing up the ground with its horns.
When be was about twenty feet from the
animal 1t lowered its head and with
blood-curdl1ng roar made.a rush at him.
The man retained his presence of mind,
and as the animal approached him he
stepped to one side, but in doing so he
was struck in the face by hoof. He
staggered to his feet and made toward a
garden fence. but the OK turned and
charged after him. The distance was
about thirty yards, and the race was won
by the man who reached the fence, and
fairly threw himself over it. Before he
could rise from the ground there was a
terrible crash, and the OK dashed through
the fence, scattering boards right and
left and rolling headlong over Mr., Her
man. It didn't take the man long to get
on his feet and escape over another fence
which surrounds the house. His clothes
were badly used up, and his face was
covered with blood from the wound
caused by the kick he had received, but
he was not seriously injured.
with powder and handful Of bird shot
wrapped in 4 rag, Herman returned to
the fray. He found the OK paving the
ground wrathfully, and pausing occasion
ally to dig his horns viciously into it,
at the same time giving vent to roars
that could be heard more than mile
away. The suffering animals head was
covered with blood from cuts received
by butting its way out of the stable, and
great quantities of saliva issued from its
mouth. Herman mounted a stone wall
which runs along one side of the garden,
and from that place fred two shots at the
Infatuated bovine. The first shot took
effect in its neck and only seemed to in
crease its rage, for with blind fnry it
charged at the stone wall and battered
its head against the stones. the second
shot, however, struck the OK in the side
and killed it. On gong to the stable
where the animal had been penned the
night Lefore, Herman found the sides of
that structure completely battered to
pieces, and in another part of the yard
he found hog weighing nearly 300
pounds dead, and gored to a shapeless
mass Of Jelly. a ~
