A Remarkable Accident.

zone Of the most remarkable accl-
dents we have ever heard Of says the
Roseburg (Or9 Plaindealcr, .'happened to
Mr.. G. w. Smith, of Douglas county, on
Wednesday. During temporary lull in
the rain-storm, when the sun shone clear
and warmly, Mr.. Smith took his Henry
limiting for some game and seeing none,
he turned his steps homeward. While
walking along a shady hillside, where q
little snow yet lay, he discovered the
fresh imprints of bears feet. They led
him over hill and valley for about two
miles, and disappeared in dense jungle.
When half way across he heard slight
noise behind him. Hc turned quickly
and saw the object he was in search Of
walking leisurely toward him, and not
|more than thirty feet distant. To say
that Mr.. Smith was slightly agitated
would perhaps be superhuous; but he
raised his gun and fired. In his excite
ment his aim was not unerring ball
but grazed the cinnamon's flank.
This wound, though slight, aroused
the animals ire and in a mo-
ment, before the rifle could be aimed, he
sprang at the hunter. With one sweep
of his powerful paw he sent the weapon
flying through space. Just as Bruin was
about to commence his sausage grin ding
operations, the clear report Of rifle was
heard. The bear gave a convulsive shud-
der, staggered toward the hunter and.
dropped dead Smith was of course
overjoyed that assistance had reached
him, and went to the spot where he sup
posed his rescuer was concealed. but no
person met his sight. There lay his
rifle, but no human was visible He
picked it up and walked to where the
bear lay. The animal was stone dead,
shot through the heart. He then un-
loaded the rifle and found but eight bull
lets. He was confident that he had
placed ten bullets in the magazine before
starting from home, and that he had
shot but once. 1t was plain, then, that
a bullet from his own gun, which had
exploded when it struck the ground, had
saved his life. Mr.. Smith has the bears
hide, which he intends keeping as me-
mento of the fight. The rifle. he will

The King Of Burmah

The King of Burmah is little over
twenty, and he has been barely four
months on the throne. He is tall, we'll
built, personable young man. He is fair
in complexion, has good forehead,
clear, steady eyes, and firm but pleas
ant mouth. His chin is full and some
what sensual looking, but, withal, he is
a manly, frank-faced young fellow, and
is said to have gained self possession, and
lost the early nervous awkwardness of his
new position, with great rapidity. Of
his character, little has yet developed,
but circumstances have occurred to prove
that he has no fondness for any diminu-
ton of the royal prerogative.
AS we passed out of the palace after
the interview, house in the palace
grounds was pointed out to me, within
| which has been imprisoned, in squalid
misery, ever since the illness of the late
king, some twenty male members
of the royal blood, who were
regarded as likely, If left at large,
to use efforts for the hindrance Of the &C
cession of the lad who now sits on the
throne, and who, among the. youngest Of
the sons of his father, was selected tc
succeed, partly by female influence, part
~ by reason Of the belief Of the minister
tnat he would interpose little obstacl,
toward the accomplishment of the pro
gramme of constitutional reform will
which they desire to begin new reign
| And stable near by, incarceratee
there month ago, are confined three o
these ministers, living proofs that con
stitutional reform is a icklish and risk,
undertaking when all the tradition
about the throne are those of absolutism
and the youngsters who are soft-seemin,
and pliable when powerless nonenities
learn swiftly to take their own part whe,
placed in position of power. King
makers, it is true, can be king breakers
but it is also true that many king-mak
er has himself been broken by the kim
he has made. And I dare say the minist
ers in the stable there are rather sorr
now that they did not make anothe
choice.-Londo7l Ne,os.

MOTHERS WORK.
Dear patient woman, DER your children bend

Dear patient woman, DER your children bend
ing
To leave a good night kiss on rosy lips,
Or list the simple prayers to God ascending
Ere slumber veil them in its soft eclipse.
Iwonder, do you dream that seraphs love you,
And sometimes smooth the pathway for
your feet;
That oft their silvery pinions floal above you,
When life is tangled and its cross roads
meet?
So wan and tired, the whole day long SO busy,
So many triles make the poor brain dizzy,
So many errands call you to and fro.
Small garments stitching, weaving fairy
And binding wounds and bearing little
cares.
Your hours pass, unheeded all the glories
OF that great world beyond your nursery
stairs.
One schoolmate's pen has written words of
beauty,
Her poems sing themelves into the heart
Anothers brush has magic; you have duty;
No time to spare for poetry or art,
But only time for training little fingers,
And teaching youthful spirits to be true;
You know not with what famine woman ling
ers,
With art alone to fill her, watching yoa
And yet think you'd rather keep the babies,
Albeit their heads grow heavy on your arm,
Than have the poets fair, enchanted may -bes,
The artists visions, rich with dazzling
charm.
Sweet are the troubles of the happy hours,
For even in WEAKNESS your soul is blest,
And rich cOntentment all your being dOWers
That yours is not hushed and empty nest

Punishment of ''the Leather Glove

The following is from work called
"Journey in Morocco: The governor
of Haha, the largest and most important
province in the empire, which long
maintained its independence Of the sui
tan, had hereditary claims to the govern
ment Of the twelve Shellah tribes who
make up the population. Although
prosperity-in the time of Leo Africanus
Cin the sixteenth century, there were six
or seven populous towns where there is
now nothing better than vlllage-the
province still furnishes much agricultur-
al produce and live stock, and sends
hides, grain, oil and other merchandise for
expectation to the port Of Mogado The
governor, at the time of our visit, had
long held his Office; by liberal con-
tributions to the :snp"-iI, treasury he
had kept himseil IN TIE favor Of the
sultan while amassing vast wealth.
Powerful and feared, he might have
maintained his authority unbroken,
but that, by a continuous course Of op-
preston and cruelty, he at length stirred
up the spirit of resistance among his
own people. Vengence, however afro
cious, for acts of revolt is so fully the
admitted right of men in authority in
Morocco, that 1t did not seem to count
for much in the Indictment against him
that on one occasion he inflicted on
| several hundred some said a thousand
|-prisoners the terrible punishment Of

ries of the kind, we were told that on SOM

see youth jump over the low, unfinished

The New Theory of Meteorites.

There is one planet of the solar system
which has a special claim to considera-
ton. On that planet it is true that
volcano would be required which was
capable of giving an initial velocity of at
least six miles per second; but every pro
jectile launched from that volcano into
space would, after accomplishing an clip
tic orbit round the sun, dash through the
track of the earth, and again pass
the same point at every subse-
quent revolution It is not here case of
one solitary projectile out of $4,000 cross
ing the earth's track, but every one Of the
$4,000 possesses the same property. The
planet of which we are speaking is, of
course the earth itself 1t in ancient
times there were colossal volcanoes on
the surface of the earth which had suf-
fcient explosive energy to drive missiles
upward with velocity sufficient to car
ry them away from the earth's surface,
after making allowance for the resistance
Of the air, these missiles would then con-
tinue to move in orbits round the sun,
crossing at each revolution the point of
the earth's track from which they were
originally discharged. If this were the
case, then, doubtless, there are now
myriads Of these projectiles moving
through the solar system, the only com
mon feature Of their orbits being that
they all intersect the earth's track. It
will, Of course, now and then happen that
the earth and the projectile meet at the
point Of crossing. and then we have the
phenomenon Of the descent Of meteo-
rite. This theory, that the meteorites
have originated in the earth, was, SO fal
as know, first put forward by DR.. Phip.
son. Mr.. j. Lawrence Smith, in letter
received from him some months ago, in.
clines to the same view as at all events
one of the probable sources. It is well tc
note here the great difference between
the lunar theory Of meteorites and the
terrestrial theory. For the lunar theory
to be true it would probably be necessary
that the lunar volcanoes should be still
active. In the terrestrial theory it is
only necessary to suppose that the vol
canoes On the earth once possessed sufh
cient explosive energy. No one supposes
| that the volcanoes on the earth at present
eject the fragments which will consti
tute future meteorites, but it seem!
probable that the earth may be nov
gathering back in these quiet times tht
fragments she elected in the early stage
of her history. Assuming, therefore, tina
the meteorites have had quasi-volcani,
origin on some considerable celestia
body, am led to agree with those VIII
believe that most probably that body i
the earth.-Robert s. Ball Nature.

The Resurrection of the Dead.

The St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Clas-
son avenue, Brooklyn, Rev, Daniel V. NJ.
Johnson. D. D., in the course of his ser
mon, said: "The subject of the Resurrec-
ton is one of the plainest revealed doc
trines Of Christianity, yet, at the same
time one Of the most mysterious ever
taught or explained. No matter where
scattered on earth or buried in the depths
Of the sea, at the last great day bone shall
come to its bone and sinew to its slnew,
and be made tit receptacle for the inn
mortal soul, while the enlarged capaci-
ties of the later will be cceval and COM
mensurate with eternity itself; and these
shall not be known until the soul is
transported to the world far away beyond
the grave Reason and common-sense
teach that these poor mortal tabernacles
which have lain in their graves for cen
turies shall come forth-some to happi-
ness and some to shame and everlasting
contempt, the former to be enthroned in

Perry! Perry!'

"a Southern .Woman's Story told by
Mrs. Pember,. recalls David's elegy on
Jonathan 'sThy love to me was wonder
full, passing the love Of women"
After the battle of Fredericksburg,
while giving small doses of brandy to a
dying man, low pleasant voice said,
s'Madam.'
It came from youth not over eighteen
years Of age, seeming very i'll, but SO
placid, with that earnest, far-away gaze
so common to the eyes of those who are
looking their, last on this world. He
shook his head in negative to all offers of
food or drink, or suggestions of softer
pillows and lighter covering.
II want Perry was his only wish.
On inquiry l found that Perry was the
friend and companion who marched by
his side in the field and slept next to him
in camp, but Of whose whereabouts was
ignorant.
Armed with requisition from our sur
geon, sought him among the sick and
wounded at all the other hospitals. ]
found him at Camp Jackson, put him my
ambulance, and on arrival at my owl
hospital found my patient had dropped
asleep. A bed was brought and placed
at his side, and Perry, only slight,
wounded, laid upon it. Just then tht
sick boy awoke wearily, turned over, ano
the half-uneonscious eye fixed itself. H'
must have been dreaming of the meeting
for he still distrusted the reality. III
ness had spiritualized the youthful face
the transparent forehead, the delicat
brow clearly defined, belonged more t
heaven than earth.
AS he recognized his comrade, the wa
and expressionless lips curved into tn
happiest smile e-the angel Of death ha
brought the light Of summer skies to tina
pale face.
"Perrym he cried, 'Perryr' and nc
another word, but with one last effort b
threw himself into his friends arms, th
radiant1 eyes closed, but the smile sti
remained-he was dead.

For Boys.

You we're made to be kind and gener-
Gus and magnanimous. If there is a boy
in the school Who has club-foot, don't
let him know you saw it. If there is a
poor boy with ragged clothes, don't talk
about his rags in his hearing. If there is
a lame boy, assign him some part of the
game which does not require running.
If there is dull one help him to get his
lessons. If there is bright one, be not
envious of him; for if one boy is proud of
his talents, and another is envious of
them, these are two great wrongs, and no
more talents than before If larger or
stronger boy has injured you, and is sorry
for it, forgive him and request the teach
er not to punish him. All the school will
show by their countenances how much

Many farmers look upon the sunfower
as simply worthless weed, and never
dream Of the valuable qualities the seeds
Of this plant possess. For several years
they have been used by breeders of fancy
poultry as food for choice birds; in small
quantities, they are mixed with the other
food, and the peculiar properties of the
seeds impart beautiful gloss which no
grain will give to the plumage of the
adult birds. For those who raise fancy
fowls for exhibition, it is essential to per
feet success that the plumage should be in
perfect condition, and to attain satisfac-
tory results, we can recommend 40 more
valuable aid than judicious feeding Of
this seed. It has long been known that
the oil extracted from this seed makes
dressing for the hair which is very bene
fetal, imparting smoothness and yigor
highly appreciated by all who have tried
it. It glows very readily, and the poul-
tryman should not forget this cheap and
useful assistant to his labors.
