Bruins Kindness to a Little Outcast.

In the winter of 1909 Pierre Traivant,
u little fellow of about 10 years, having
no longer parents or a house in Savoy,
wandered to the province of Lorraine In
search of a relative whom he heard
lived near the palace of Leopold, Duke
of Lorraine.
One bitter night he applied to poor
woman for shelter. She told him she
had no room for him in her house, but
he might go into the barn. Adjoining
the barn was hut, where was kept a
tame bear owned by the Duke. Ready
to perish with cold in the empty barn,
Pierre resolved to trust himself to the
mercy OF Bruin.
Ilmldiy he entered the hut and slow
ly approached the animal. Bruin, how
ever, instead of doing him any harm,
drew the shivering child between his
paws and gently pressed him to his
breast, till warm and comfortable he fell
| asleep.
The next morning when he awoke, he
found himself still held by the bear, his
| head resting on the animals warm fur.
When he arose to go away the bear al
lowed him to leave, only following him
| with caresses as far as the chain would
permit. The young Savoyard wandered
all day about the city, bnt, finding no
trace OF his relative, returned III the
! evening to Marcos hut, that name
| having been given to the bear. Marco
| received him with the same kindness.
| and for some time that was his nightly
| retreat.
What was more remarkable, and
added not little to the poor boys JOY,
the bear regularly reserved part Of his
food for him.
il number of days passed without his
| being discovered, then one of the SER
wants came to bring Marcos supper
| later than usual, and saw the sleeping
| child clasped to his breast. The bear
| refused to move i'll order to take the
! food, and rolled his eyes in a furious
| manner whenever the man made any
noise that might waken the sleeper.
The report of this extraordinary con-
duet soon spread at court, and reached
| the ears of the Prince. Some of the
courtiers, in order to prove the truth OF
| Marcos hospitality, passed night near
| the hut, and saw with establishment
| that the bear never stirred as long ms
little Pierre showed an inclination to
sleep.
When he awoke at dawn of day and
found himself discovered, he was very
much frightened and feared he would
be punished. But the bear, caressing
him with great fondness, tried to coax
him to eat what he had saved from the
previous night.
Pierre was at first too alarmed to
comply, but finally did so at the request
of the court tiers, who afterward conducted
him to the Duke.
When Leopold heard the little Savoy
ards whole history, and how long the
bear had befriended him, he ordered
that the child should have home at
his court, and the best of care and
training given MIN.
No doubt he would have risen to a
nigh position, if sudden death had not
terminated his career short time after.

Women as Rulers.

The talents displayed by women
as rlllers-a position which strangely has
been accorded them in all ages and
stages of civilization have frequently
excited admiration. 1t has been re-
proachfully said, too, that in this posi-
ton she has been cruel, treacherous and
bigoted as man can be; but this only
proves that talents, however rare, can
not supply the place of principles in
woman or man. But women as philan-
thropists have accomplished most fol
their race and won readiest acknowl-
edgments.
Queen Esthers one act, r1sking her
life for the sake of the people, won her q

A Princes Obtuseness.

The fondness of the late Prince Peter
of Oldenburg for artificial fish-breeding
had become passion After the man.
ner of that Grand Duke of Tuscany who
owned Raphael Madonna and insisted
that it should always accompany him on
his travels, Prince Peter was accustomed
to take with him when travelling GER
tain number of gold fish. Baron Roths-
child, of Frankfort, shared this passion
with him, and, i'll his winter garden, had
beautiful basin filled with fish and sur
rounded by plants of the rarest and most
expensive kind. One day when the
Prince was in Frankfort he took it upon
himself to cali ON the Baron, having al
ready heard of his fish OF course, the
Baron felt honored by this, and received
his princely guest as it was becoming
that he should. 1t so happened that
these costly plants We're at that time in
bloom, and it was matter for doubt
whether the Baron cared most for them
or for the fish. But the Prince, caring
nothing for the plants, and ignorant of
their value, Or forgetful of it in his en-
thusiasm for the fish, broke off some of
the blossoms and threw them upon the
water to attract upward the fish from be-
low The Baron, while making long
face as he saw this done, had too much
tact to interrupt the Prince, and simply
directed sevant to bring some fine
bread. When the servant returned the
Prince looked at the bread with great
surprise, but recovered himself soon and
then politely said: ''Bread-ah! isn't it?
Very kind of you, very amiable indeed!''
He then ate the bread, and went on
picking off the blossoms and throwing
at the fish as before. -Neu York Time.

A Pretty German Custom.

There is beautiful custom among the
Germans of having chorals played from
the church towers at regular hours of
the day. It is said they first derived
the idea from the Arabs, who at certain
hours Of the day and night are called to
prayers by the long wailing cry OF the
muezzins from the minarets of the
mosques. When I first heard this music
in Stuttgart, coming as it appeared to
me from heaven, l was puzzled to know
its object and the sources whence it
came. L gazed above and around me,
but / failed to detect its source. The
beautiful melody, sofened by distance,
was floating in the air. 1t was like the
invisible heavenly choir that enraptured
ST. Cecilia. A few days afterward, hap
penlng to be III the same neighborhood,
and at the same hour of the day, was
more fortunate in my discoveries. L
again heard the music from above, its
peallng notes coming to me from some
far distance like the strains of a church
organ. Near me was the Stlfts klrche,
an old church built in 1908, which has
attached to it an immense Octagon tower
rising up to a height of nearly 200
feet. Encircling this near the top is
balcony, on which at last espied
the authors of the strange music.
Several men with brass instruments
were perched on that giddy height play
ing sacred music. When they had fin
shed one piece they moved to another
position on the balcony and played diff
ierent tune Four selections in all were
PLAYED, one toward each point of the
compass. On making inquiries after
ward I found that this playing from the
church tower had been III practice for
more than 100 years. A German lady,
"once upon time belonging to one
of the noble families, bequeathed d sum
OF money, the income of which was ever
after to be devoted % paying the ex-
penses of tins religions observance. The
clause III her Will stated that chorals or
selections of sacred music were to be
played from this church tower twice
day, pulctualiy every morning at the
rising of the sun, and also from half past
Ii to u at neon. The musicians for
their services are paid = marks go cents)
day eacll-a mark for the morning and
mark for the noon service-which. for
walking mp and down that long fight of
steps, IN addition to playing several
pieces OF church music, is small enough
remuneration. Chorals are also PLAYED
from another of the church towers in
Stuttgart by brass band, and also from
