A BEAR undertook to break into the
house of Wisconsin man one night
while the man was out. The mans wife
heard the bear, and in the darkness tho't
it was her husband coming home late.
When the bear got away he didn't stop
running until he'd got nine miles, and
you couldn't coax him to go within a
thousand miles of that woman again.
And yet, if she'd known it was a bear,
and not her husband, she would probably
have tainted and been devoured, and the
old man is awful sorry it didn't happen
that way.

LETTING A DOG LOOSE.

A ealoon-keeper on Gratiot avenue paid
certain parties in Chicago $25 for q
stuffed lion to add to the attractions of
his saloon, and as the place was being
scrubbed out the lion was placed at the
front door TO keep him out Of the wet.
Half block down the street farmer
was having his wagon repaired, and 9
big bulldog was chained to the axletree.
He grew uneasy the minute the lion was
rolled out, and it needed only few en-
couraging words from tho boys to render
him half frantic. He growled and
plunged and tore around and attracted
quite crowd, among which was man
who remarked:
''That's purity brave dog of YOUR.
stranger"
stBrave! I'd like to see the man or
beast he wouldn't tackled" replied the
owner.
81 dunno about that. Never saw a
dog yet that would stand before lion. "
"Well here's one who'd stand before
two lions. See how anxious he is to get
there!"
''Yes, hut he puts that on because he's
chained. If he was loose you couldn' t
get him within rod of that there spec
imen."
Couldn't eh2 Maybe you want to

ting, card-playing, dancing and all that,
but seeing you are rather sassy about
this, I've got half a dollar here which
says that you can't get that dog to go
within six feet of that lion."
"Put up the money--put up the mon
cyl" shouted the farmer as he went down
into his own pockets for the coin.
The money was put up, the crowd fell
back and the farmers face wore smile
of triumph and he still further excited
the dog and then slipped his color. With
yell of rage the 'canine" made a bee
line for the king of beasts, and in anoth-
er moment there was reason for terrific
yell of applause. Dog and lion filed the
air, so to say. The lion was rolled over
and over, grabbed by the throat and
shaken around, drawn across the street
and back by the ear, and when the dog
finally let up on the corpse the battle
ground was covered with hay and hair
and saw-dust and glass-eyes. At that
moment the saloon keeper rushed out, a
policeman came up, and for five minutes
the air was rent with shouts and expos
tulations and EXPLANATIONS.
cit was all in fun" explained the far
mer.
"Dot lions cost me $25 in Sheecago!"
protested the saloon man.
"Who put up this job2" demanded the
officer as he glared around on the large
crowd.
By and by deep silence fell upon the
crowd, and in a voice which had only
kindness in it the owner of the lion said
he must have his $25 or he would start
for the Police Court. The policeman
said it was certainly case for the courts,
and the crowd said the farmer might
have known what would happen. He
protested but finally came to time, and
when he had passed over $40 sill and
given his note for the balance. he had
only one sentence to utter. And that
was:
"Now, then, I'll give any one of you
five acres of land to put me face to face
with the outlaw who put up this job on a
hard-working, innocent man!"-Detroit

DIAMCNDs.-The most valuable dia-
monds are those which are entirely color
less. Those with blue tinge, though
still more rare, are not 80 highly valued,
as the actual beauty of the pure ones
outweigh the rarity of the blue variety.
One of the finest of the blue variety is,
we believe, in the collection of Mr.. Der.
esford Hope. Diamonds of red tinge
take still good place; green diamonds
are tolerably numerous. and rank lower;
yellow ones are very common, and the
least esteemed. The estimation of the
value of diamond is made according to
a regular system of appraisement. It
will surprise many of those who are not
conversant with the subject, to learn
what a large proportion of diamond is
often ground away to dust in cutting it
so as to make the most of its brilliancy,
The greatest diamond in the French
treasury, the Regent, weighed, we are
told, 40 carets before cutting, aud 1861
after cutting, which seems an immense
loss in size; but wo presume it really in
creased the marketable value of the gem.
Of course, the diamond dust taken off in
cutting is not allowed to be lost, but is
useful chiefly for practical purposes, in
forming in its turn the means of grinding
down the faces of other diamonds; for
this superb stone will yield to no tool
but one from its own substance.
