Earthquakes.

THERE is probably no natural phc-
nomenon whose effect on the human
mind is more terrible than that Of an
earthquake. IT. rarity. il, suddcnucsS.
It's infinite ~potentialI,ies of destruction,
IL uncomfortable force and the COM
plctc obscurity of It's immediate causes.
ali combine To give IL that aspect of
mysterious terror which NJ one time in
vested all the forces Of nature. In the
presence Of an earthquake the wi>est
OF men are helpless, the strongest pow
e%rlc,s, and all alike are struck with
that awe OF natures power which
marks the rel gion OF the savage and
the superstition OF ignorant men.
Slight shocks of earthquake. trembiinys

enough in most parts of the world. In
a great city they may often be- undis-
tinguishable from the rumhling uf a

happily. there are many portions of the
carth's. surface which, if experience
is any guide, may be regard
ed as practically safe from the
severcr and more destructive forms
of terrestrial CONFUSION. But until we
know the true cause of earthquakes and
their relation to other terrestrial phc-
nomena, it is impossible To set an abso-
lutte limit either To the region of their
occurrence or 10 the probable extent Of
their effects. For this reason the slight.

A Famous Bear.

HUNTERS in the Far West sometimes
make the acquaintance of wild animals
which they are able to distinguish from
their fellows for a long time. Such a
one was a grizzly bear which a hunter
named Davis often hunted and trapped
in Nevada. Davis SAYS that he first
got the bear into a trap in 1865. The
bear dragged the trap around a young
tamarack tree and tore il TO pieces,
although it Wa a big. strong trap, with
strong iron jaws fourteen inches wide
when open. The cd bear came every
night to feed on oxen and horses that
died as freight teams passed. He hurt
his jaws considerably, and Davis fol-
lowed him through the sno by his
bloody tracks. Coming up to him M
day rs he stood in some chapparal. Da-
Wis fired a charge of shot from his long
ducking gun, hitting him in the
shoulder, and the old fellow fell. but
got up and started off falling twice
more. The year following Davis got
him in a trap again, but he shook il off
and escaped. That same summer he
put his foot into Davis's trap, but it
caught his toe only. He pulled the toe
off rather than be taken, and thus
gained the name of ClubfoOt. His
track measured eleven BY fourteen
inches. Davis says that the biggest
bear he ever killed made a track six By
ten inches. 1t dressed more than 200
pounds, and must have weighed loo
pounds when alive. He thinks Club
foot would certainly weigh 1900 when
he saw him last. He got very gray.
nearly white. at the last. The other
big bear spoken of above was n female
and was old Clubfoot's mate. Thew
were always near together. After he
lost her Clubfoot refused all sympathy
or consolation, and was never seer TO
associate with his kind again. Davis is
satisfied that he is dead. No one has
seen him since 1874. Only barroom
bear hunters claim TO have seen him
since that time. In all his old haunts
between Sierra Valley and Lake Bigler.
and in the country around Weber, no
track or sign of him has been discovered
for six years.

A Lecturers TribulatiOns.

L~ECTURING frequently tries a mans
soul; especially when the lecturers
career is n a very successful one. If
his path be strewn with roses and Sue
cess, there may not be much of a story
to tell. But it is different when his
path is strewn with thorns and he steps
on them. 1t is sad to hire a hall in a
strange village and wait for an audience
which never comes. 1t is ominous to
hear your landlord, just before supper,
remark, "Our people don't 90 much on
~lecters. But they'll pile into n circus
or menageries or anything else that isn't
improyin'." They say this all over the
land. Ii is sadder when you offer him
a handful of your free tickets for him.
self and family to hear him, "Guess the
folks hain't got time to 90 tonight.
There is a ball over to PappoOseville.
and every body's goin'." | never did
bill myself yet in a village for a lecture
but that | happened to pitch on the
night of all nights when some great
local event was to take place. Or else
it rained. 1t is sad to speak to thirty
two people in a hall large enough to
hold a thousand and try to address
those thirty-twO people scattered about
at the thirty-two points of the mariners
compass. Once in New York | spoke
to n fair audience i'm a hall on the
ground floor. Things went on beauti-
fully till nine o'clock. when n big
Grassland struck up in the bigger
hall over my head and some fifty
couples commenced waltzing. 1t was
an earthquake reversed. 1t ruined me
for the night. None a realize until
they enter the lecture field what trivial
occurrences may transpire TO upset the
unfortunate on the platform and divert
and distract the attention OF an audi
encc. On one occasion a cat got into a
church where l was speaking, and
trotted up and down a course she had
laid out for herself before the pulpit.
She did this with an erect tail. and At
times made short remarks. 1t is sin@u-
lar that a single cat acting in this man
ner is more effective in interesting and
amusing an Intelligent audience than
any speaker. Under such conditions
Cicero himself would have TO knock
under to the cat. He might 90 on
talking, but the cat would capture the
house. And then the awful sensation
of being obliged to keep on as though
nothing had disturbed you; to pretend
you don't see such a cat; that you are
not thinking of it; and knowing all the
while that your audience are getting
their moneys worth out of the eat and
not out of you!-Prenticc Nuitord, ia
the San Francisco Chronicle.

Chat Il was done by an outsider who's.
name had been told to them on their
promising not To tell il tn any Of the
teachers. In the course of conyersa-
lion on this subject one Of the Stand
ing Committee inadvertently let slip
the name of the c~ulprit. Turning i'm
mediately 10 me. he said: .'Mr. M. IL
wouldn't be fair for YOU to take advan-
tage of that
Certainly not" I replied.
II 40 happened that the ext day,
while c%onversing with the mother of
three Of nv pupils. she spoke of a hos
who was their cousin. and with whom
they were thus obliged ~ have a Ger
tain amount OF Intercourse. but who
was 4 spoiled child and. therefore. An
undesirable acquaintance. This knowl-
edge, also. | did not think IL best 10
take advantage OF, but sent a message
through the boy who confessed that
he knew him which induced the boy
himself 10 come and see me. lie cN-
pressed very great regret for what he
had done. paid the colored man for his
trouble in erasing the offensive matter,
promised never 10 do any such thing
again. and seemed generally improved
by the affair.
While this article was in preparation
I another illustration of the action of the
Standing COMMITTEES was given. The
Library Committee had been
ing some of their books. and had left
some oil these On a table in the gymna-
sum or playr6om. Some mischievous
boy had picked up the library stamp
and had stamped all over the nice new
paper cover of one of these volumes.
When the one who did this was called
upon 10 hold up his hand be did not do
so. When those who knew ANYTHING
about IL were asked for. one small boy
held up his hand. The Committee were
requested TO confer with him at the
proper time. They reported soon after
that the culprit was the youngest boy
in school, and a very fine little fellow.
| asked what medicine they proposed
to give. They preferred TO leave that
10 me.
Every WELL" said L. 81 suppose two
or three DAYS exclusion from the play
room will. be sufficient"
The largest and oldest member OF the
Committee Immediately said: Hes a
little fellow, sir; wouldn't one day be
cnough?'
| agreed, and the affair was thus
settled.
| recollect now that there was one
thing forgotten in this ease which is
usually attended TO, and that is to have
the damages properly assessed and paid
for by the destroyer. This may amount
10 a few cents only, but those few cents
to a small boy are sometimes an I'M
portant matter, involving, it may he.
an application to the Daternal pocket.
which implies stating the cause at home.
with perhaps more or less disagreeable
conse luences.
This last case occurred on a Thurs
day. The mex morning. at the weekly
report of character, our little friend was
highly spoken of that | asked him if.
in case I did away with his days exclu-
sion. there was any danger of his re-
peating the ~oflense? He thought not.
His good, strong lungs were, therefore,
heard again at the usual time in the
playroom, ami our patient was thus
cured without medicine. Cor. n. Y.

Fashion Notes.

FEATHER trimmings are again very
popular.
Some of the New Jersey polonaises
are laced down the back.
The Quaker dress. fashioned in Amer
lea. is now adopted in Paris.
Cloth jackets matching the costume,
or Of cream-colored material, are very
stylishly trimmed with plush, which is
used for the hood, collar. cuffs and
muff.
MANY ladies who objected TO gay red
or bright blue corsets a few years ago
now YEA them in preference TO all
others. as they retain their fresh look q
long time. and do not soil easily.
The richest and most effective hoods
are OF black velvet or silk. densely COW
cred with sparkling jet ornaments and
appliques, and finished AT The point OF
the hood in the back with handsome jet
cords and pendants
Walking dresses Of cloth are very
fashionable. and as the weather be-
comes colder they increase in popular
ity. Very stylish and eiegantly-itting
polonaises are also made of this mate
rial. and draped Y u~nderskirts of
plush or velvet Many of the new over
dresses are untrimmed; some are
trimmed with extra wide bands Of fur
or plush. A few of the earlier importa-
tons of costumes Of cloth were heavily
trimmed. but there seems 10 be q re-
action setting in. and plain unadorned
slightly-iooped dresses are considered
the most distinguished looking.-N. Y.
