Hunting In 'Ihe Arches.

In his narrative of the experience of
the Jeanette crew, Lieutenant Danen-
hover Gays: During the summer some
of us used to take the skin boats or the
dingy and paddle among the cracks.
Or one occasion Captain Do Long was
alone in the dingy and was interviewed
by a bear, who suddenly approached
out of the mist and stood watching him
in the most dignified manner. The
Captain retreated in good order. Dur.
ing thesummer it was hard to get bears,
because they could take to the water so
readily and thus cut off their pursuers.
During the misty times they were very
bold, and on one occasion o she bear
with two cubs approached the ship to
within 400 yards of the starboard quar-
ter. Fortunately the dogs were on the
port side and to windward, so they did
not scent the bear. The greatest quiet
ness prevailed, and squad of about ten
rifiemen was Immediately organized on
the poop. I was watching the bears
through cabin air port, and it was q
very fine sight to see the mother aud
her two cubs approach the ship in q
wondering and cautious manner. I
could see better under the mist than the
people on the poop. Heard the Captain
say: ~ 81.
"Do any of you think it is over $50
yards?"
All seemed to agree, and he said:
calm at $50 yards, and wait for the
word fret" -.
Then succeeded volley. The bears
reeled and made several turns, and I
thought that we had bagged all of them,
but was astonished to zee them get up
and walk off in the most lively manner.
Of course all the dogs took the alarm
and pursued them to the first crack,
which the bears calmly swan across and
thus escaped. But large drops of blood
were seen, and the she-bear lay down
once or twice as if wounded. In making
her retreat she drove her cubs before
her, and became impatient when they
moved slowly. The bears had been hit,
but the distance had been underestimate
and most of the shots had fallen short.
This was notvery extraordinary, because
it was very misty. "

Living For Appearances.

Many persons are made miserable by
anxiety to appear in better social posi-
tions than those in which they actually
belong. They are constantly asking,
"What will Mrs. Grundy say?" or liv-
ing in dread of some mysterious "Mrs.
Harris" An amusing illustration of this
demoraGzing ambition to keep up ap-
pearances was witnessed in Libson some
yearo ago by an American family.
A Portuguese Official, whose pay was
small, lived with his family in fiat.
Wife, sister, and children were as pre-
tentious as poor. They were dirty,
but snowy. The wife would 70 about
the house in old and slovenly clothes.
But when q fine day invited to prone
made, she would cover her dirty calico
dress with an elegant blue satin cloak,
trimmed with ermine, decorate her head
with ribbons, her hair having been
dressed by a barber, and walk forth
followed by the maids, hired for the
occasion at 80 much an hour.
Every day about dinner time, the
table would be set in the parlor with
clear damask cloth and napkins, pieces
of bread silver forks and spoons, and
handsome wine glasses and goblets.
Thus it stood for an hour or more, 80
that visitors might suppose that the
family were in the habit of dining in
elegant style.
But they never did sit down to this
table. When the hour in which the
visitors called had passed, all the fine
things were removed and laid away for
the exhibition of tomorrow. The family
then repaired to the kitchen, seating
themselves on the floor, around huge
earthen pan filled with stew, each one
dipped therein spoon and thus they
dined.
This family, like many in this coun-
try, had not discovered that tho secret
of happiness is to be content with the
little one has.

Personalities and Ill.Reports.

Keep clear of personalities in general
conversation. Talk of things, objects,
thoughts. The smallest minds occupy
themselves with persons. Personalities
must sometimes be talked, because we
have to learn and find out mems char
acteristics for legitimate objects; but it
is to be with confidential persons. Poor
Burns wrote and did many foolish things,
but he was wise when he wrote to o
young friend:
Aye, tell your story free, off hand,
When wi bosom crony:
But still keep something to yourself
You'll scarcely tell to ory, 81
Do not needlessly report i'll to others.
There are times when we are compelled
to say, 81 do not think Bouncer q true
and honest man." But when there is
no need to express an opinion let poor
Bonncer swagger away. Others will
take his measure, no doubt, and save
you the trouble Of analysing him and
instructing them. And as far as possible
dwell on tie good side Of human beings.
There are family boards where CON-
slant process of depreciating, assigning
motive, and QUITTING up character goes
forward: they are not pleasant places.
One who is not healthy does not wish to
dine ct q dissecting table. There is evil

Crazy Office BeggarS.

In letter to the Philadelphia Times,
Joe Howard maintains that persistent
office-seeking unbalances active brains.
II can show you" he writes, fifty old
cranks who have done nothing in ten or
twenty years but beg and hunt and
work for Office. This is especially true
of men who have had just little taste
of the pomp and circumstance, the profit
and zap of office. That settles it. Never
again can they do aught but work for
Office. They spend all they have saved,
they borrow more, they mortgage their
brains and would sell their souls if the
devil would help them get what they
want"

A scared Pussy.

Gausier, French writer, mentions
rare case in which cat was 80 taken
aback as to lose her presence OF mind
and self.reliance.
The cat was accustomed to live in per-
feet intimacy with the writer, sleeping
at his feet on his bed; dreaming ON the
srm Of his easy chair while he was writing;
followinghim in the garden as he walked
up and down the long avenues; keeping
him company at his meals, and, as he
adds, not nnfrequently intercepting the
morsel ON the road between the plate
and his lips. ta
One fine day, friend setting out on
his travels, left his parrot in his charge
during his absence. The poor bird sat
disconsolate on the top of his stand,
while the cat stared at the strange sight
and tried to gather up all the strays and
waits of natural history which she might
have picked up on the roof, or in the
yard or garden.
The writer followed her thoughts in
her great green eyes, and read there
clearly the words: 1T must be green
chicken!"
Thereupon, puss jumped down from
his writing table and assumed, in dark
corner, the air Of panther in the jungle,
lying in wait for delicate deer; crouch
ing fiat down, the head low, the back
stretched out in full length, the elbows
out and the eyes fixed immovably on the
bird.
The poor parrot had followed all her
movements with nervous anxiety; he
raised his feathers, sharpened his bill,
stretched out his claws and prepared for
war.
The cat lay still, but the writer read
again in her eyes, ono doubt, though
green, thechicken must be good to eat. "
Suddenly her back was arched, like
bow that was drawn, and with one
superb bound she was on the. perck
The parrot, seeing the great danger,
lifted up his sharp, eager voice and
screamed ouS Have you had breakfast,
Jack?"
The voice frightened pussy out of
her wits. A trumpet sounded in her
ears, q pile of crockery breaking near
her. q pistol fred close to her head,
could not have frightened her more
terribly. ..
All her ideas were overthrow, Her
eyes said clearly, ''This is not chicken.
it is a gentleman" The cat cast an
anxious glance at her master, leaped
down in sheer terror and hid under the
bed, from whence no threat and no
caress could bring her out for the day.

why He Changed His Sign.

An amusing anecdote is told Of one Of
Boston's eminent vocal teachers-Sig.
Janotta-and is quite true. He moved
into large family hotel and occupied
the first floor, placing on his door q fine
door-plate with "Janotta" inscribed
thereon. For the next few days his les
sons we're disturbed and his peace Of
mine broken by grocers, butchers,
bakers, etc., who seemed to insist that
he should direct them to every inmate
of the house, and even at times help
them with their burdens. Here patience
ceased to be virtue, and hs finally
turned on one of the tradesmen and
inquired, sDo you think I run the
hotel?' '"Well, was the reply, if you
amt the the janitor what do you put out
your sign for?" A light broke upon the
Professor, and now the door bears the
additional inscription: ''This Is not the
ianitor's office. g.g

Hotel Life In sicily.


Charles Dudley Warner writes as fol-
lows: We found, at Syracuse, another
Sieilian hotel worthy OF mention. This
is the Locanda del Sole. II is only
about half as dear rs the Vittoria, which
we tried first; but it is little worse.
We did not understand, at first, why
there were no bells in any part of the
dirty house, but we soon discovered
that there was nothing to be had if we
could have rung for it. It is q very old
and not uninteresting sort of barracks,
and its rambling terraces give good
views of the harbor and of Etna. The
rooms, too, are adorned with quaint old
prints which give it an old time air. It
can be fairly said of its management
that the attendance is as good as the
food.
do not know how long it would take
to starve q person to death there, or to
disgust him with victuals to that extent
that death would be preferable todining,
but we touched close upon the probable
limit of endurance in five days. It was
lengthy campaign of morning to get
o simple early breakfast. TWAS o work
of time, in the first place, to find any.
body to serve it. When the one waiter
was discovered and coaxed into the din
ing room, I ordered coffee and the
usual accomplishments. In about fifteen
minutes he brought in pot of muddy
liquid and a cup. ! suggested then, in
reason, q spoon ought to 60 with it. A
spoon was found after some search
sugar. also I got by Importantly. The
procuring of milk was a longer process.
Evidently the goat had to be hunted up.
By the time the goat came to terms
the coffee was cold. I then brought up
the subject of bread. That was sent
out for and delivered. Butter, also,
was called for, not that wanted it, or
could eat it when it came, but because
butter is conventional thing to have
for breakfast. This butter was sort of
poor cheese gone astray. The last
article 10 be got was knife. The knives
were generally very good, or would have
beenif they had been clean. By patience,
after this, You could have red mullet
and an egg and some sour oranges. All
the oranges in Sicily are sour. Therea.
son given for this, however, is that all
the good ones are shipped to America.
The reason given in America why all the
Sicily oranges are sour is that all the
good ones are kept at home.
When the traveller reaches Malta and
Tangier he will learn what an orange
really is. do not know that I can say
anything morein favor of the Hotel Sole,
except that the proprietors were as in
different to our departure as to our COM
fort while we stayed. We left at ten
o'clock at night, to take the train for
Malta. We procured q facchion outside
to move our luggage, and not . soul con-
nected with the hotel was visible. The
landlord had exhausted himself in max
ing out our bills. There was some diff.
fculty in separating our several &C
counts, and when the landlord at last
brought q sheet of paper on which the
various items were set in order, and the
figures were properly arranged, he re.
garded his work with justifable pride,
and exclair ed, ut is un conto magnif.
CO." We agreed with him that, in some
respects, the account was magnificent.
