OF all the varieties of pears which are
cultivated none succeed in all sections and
nearly all seasons rs well as the Bartlett.
This should be regarded as one of the
greatest acquisitions to the human race
not only among fruits but among all food
producing plants. Set out young.
thrifty Bartlett anywhere where the soil
is neither constantly wet nor mere
bed of sand or gravel, and in half a
dozen years it will produce abundant
crops of this high class fruit. With lit
tie attention it may be made to furnish
fruit for quarter of the year. If picked
when halt grown it can be ripened; the
flavor will not be equal to that of the same
fruit when allowed before picking. but
still equal in that respect to most of its
contemporaneous varieties. 1t may also
be left on the tree very late and
still keep in good condition.
There is no other pear to which more than
fraction of these good qualities can be
justly ascribed. Some are weak growers
others lose their leaves so early that the
fruit fails to mature; others are subject to
blight, and still others habitually bear
fruit which in flavor only distantly resem-
bles the same variety when at its best.

and they were given up, when Big Phil
walked into Laramie with sack on his
back. which he threw down with sigh.
The commandant shook hands with him,
and, after telling him how glad be was
to see him safely back, asked where the
Indian was"

investigation was made, and the contents

When the old-timer finished his story
a dead silence fell on the crowd. Gen.
Cook broke the silence by sayisg:
81 ran across a case like that myself in
"a, when the Indians captured and
burned the American ranch just out Of
town. In the fight several Indians were
killed, and one of them who laid close to
the buildings was left and burned to q
crisp when the houses were destroyed.
The First Colorado cavalry, to which |
belonged, went down there and staid
several days. One day one of the boys
ran across the roasted Indian, and, tear
ing off piece, tasted it. We had all
been without meat for thirty days, the
Indians driving us back every time We
started out to hunt, and when the dis
soverer of the peculiar provisions an
nounced the fact that he was pleased
with the taste, we all ate some. 1t was
very good"

an active and somewhat eventful career
in life. Born in Castleton, Vermont,
thirty-eight years ago. he worked at farm
ing for a while, and then went west TO
seek his fortune. He was with old John
Brown during the Kansas trouble, and
at the outbreak Of the war raised com.
pany in Troy, New York, and started
with the 18th New York regiment for the
scene Of action. Subsequently he went
to Missouri and practiced law, and later
on his restless spirit took him to Mexico,
where he fought under General Cortina.
He settled in Brooklyn in 1867. and has
engaged in the practice Of law since then.
A strong democrat in politics, he ran for
congress in the fall of 1865, and last fall
was nominated for state senator by the
Jefferson hall democracy of Brooklyn,

Boston JOurna'

A series of concidents observed in a
Boston horse car few days ago is thus
described: "Seven young ladies were
perceived in the car, of whom not one
had both gloves on, and none were
wholly barehanded. OF these four had
gloves on the right hand and three on
the left, and in every instance the un.
gloved hand lay in the lap above the
other. All of the seven hands had dia.
mond rings upon them. and whenever
any attentions were needed by the hair
or raiment of the ladies, in every in
stance the ungloved hand was employed
to bestow them, and in the necessary
movements the stones flashed and gilt
tered very much. And when, as hap
peneJ in process Of time, the seven
young ladies left the car, one after
another, four of them waved their left
hands to the conductor to direct him to
stop, and the other three agitated their
right hands, again the rings sparkled
quite copiously. All of which was very
curious and interesting to the scientific
mind"

How Weapons First. Came to be Employed
Popular Science Monthly.


The idea of employing weapons for as
sault or defense was logical result of the
first contest that took place between man
and man. In these contests the strong
est man, with his native weapons-his
fists-was unconsciously the father of all
arms and armed for strength. for his
weaker antagonist would early seek to
restore the balance Of power between
them by the use of some sort of weapon.
The shorter armed man heightened his
striking power by .he use of a stick, and
found after time, the help its leverage
and weight afforded him. The first case
in which the chance-selected, heavy end,
ed staff or club showed that weight or
hardness had its value, was first step
toward furnishing it with strong head.
Hence, the blow of the fist, was the fore
runner of the crushing weapon. In the
same way the pointed stick became the
lance or dagger; and the thrown shaft,
helped, as knowledge increased, by the
bow or Throwing stick" was the precur-
sor of the dart and arrow. The chsrac.
ter of the first weapon was largely deter.
mined by the nature of the material from
which thev were derived, and their
shape partly from this and partly by
copying the forms of the weapons pos
sessed by the animals the primeval man
slew. Hence arises the general similarity
in character and shape of the earliest
tools from all parts of the world.
