Very few people know that bears
take to water naturally. They roam
over the mountains and through the
forests, dig open rotten logs for ants
and worms, secure all the hornets
nests they can and tear them to pieces
and eat the young grubs, pick berries
of all description and eat them, and
would seem to belong to the dry-land
animals. The fact is different. They love
the water. not perhaps as we'll as the
moose and deer, but better than most
dry-land animals. They are very fond
of fish and are expert fishermen, and
show more cunning and instinct, if not
reason, than many city chaps I have
seen about the lakes. [ came suddenly
upon a very large bear in thick
swamp, lying upon large hollow log
across brook, fishing; and :he was so
much interested in his sport that he did
not notice me until [ had approached
very near to him, so that could see ex-
actly how he baited his hook and played
his fish.
He fished in this wise: There was a
large hole through the log on which he
lay, and he thrust his forearm through
the hole and held his open paw in the
water and waited for the fish to gather
around and into it, and when full he
c1utchsd his fist and brought up hand
full of fish, and sat and ate them with
great gusto; then down with the paw
again, and so on. The brook was
fairly alive with little trout and red
sided suckers, and some black suckers,
80 the old fellow let himself out on the
fishes. He did not eat their heads.
There was quite pile of them on the
log. l suppose the oil in his paw at
tracted the fish and baited them even
better than a fy-hook, and his toe
nails were his hooks, and sharp ones,
too, and once grabbed the fish are
sure to stay. They also catch frogs in
these forest-brooks, and drink OF the pure
water in hot summer days, and love to
lie and wallow in the muddy swamps ss
well as our pigs in the mire. They
often cross narrow places in lakes by
swimming, and also rivers, and seem
to love to take turn in the water.
once saw one swimming from the mair-
land to the big island in MooselmAgun-
tic lake, with just streak of his back
out of the water looking like log
moving along Sometimes you see
only their heads out of the water; at
other times half of their bodies are &c
be seen. We account for this differ
ence by their condition. II fat, the
grease helps buoy them up; if lean
they swim lower in the water.

A private banker in town in Wis

from a stranger, who deposited $40,
and then turned around and asked the
banker for loan of $50.
"Why, sir, I can't lend you any

for reflection"
"I don't want to reflect upon the SUBJ
ject, sir"
"Would run on this bank damage
you $50 worth?"
"There will be no run here"
Suppose there WASP"
"It Is to absurd too suppose. Good
day, sir.
The stranger walked out doors, and
the bank closed for the day. He
entered a grocery and stated that he
was depositor, and asked if the bank
was sound. He entered dry goods
store and inquired if the hard times
might not pinch the bank. He entered
q drug store and offered his certificate
OF deposit for So. He met lawyer
and inquired If a receiver had been ap-
pointed to look out for the interests OF
depositors. Next morning he was at
the door of the bank, gesticulating and
lamenting, and behind him were
seyenty-five or eighty citizens. Before
noon the bank was cleaned out and it's
doors closed, and an ex-private banker
was skipping out to avoid being
lvnched.

Troub 9 at Pekin.
[Chicago Times |

There is great trouble at Pekin. In
the imperial city, just outside the pal
ace walls, stands the Temple of I'm
perial Ancestors, and in the temple are
ranged all the spirit tablets Of the de-
ceased emperors of this dynasty. Night
after night there is said to be mys-
terious sound of wailing and weeping In
the shrine and then crash, as though
the ta'1ets had all fallen, Dagon-like,
from their places On entering, every
tablet is found in its proper position /;
yet the next night the same inexplicable
noises are heard. and the greatest con-
sternation is felt in consequence of the
portentous omen. Weeping and vail
ing are also heard proceeding from the
imperial tombs, where the old emperors
are buried. The Chinese, of course,
look on all this as big with adverse fate to
the Manchu dynasty. There is nothing
impossible in it. There are, no doubt,
numbers of secret societies in Pekin,
the members of which are quite clever
enough to play of tricks of this sort
upon the eredulous population.

nineteenth Century.
However, for the great mass of exiles.
the foot journey has been reduced by
one-half, and they begin their peregri-
nations In Siberia in special carriages.
M. Maximoff has very yividly de-
scribed how the convicts at Irkutsk
to whose Judgment such a moving
machine was submitted, declared at
once that it was the most stupid vehicle
that could be invented for the torment
OF both horses and convicts. Such
carriages. which have no accommoda-
tion for deadening the shocks, move
slowly on the rugged, jolting road,
ploWed over and over by thousands Of
heavily loaded cars. In western Siberia.
amid the marshes on the eastern
slope of the Ural, the journey be-
comes true torture, as the
highway is covered with loose beams
OF wood, which recalls the sensation
experienced when finger is drawn
across the keys of piano, the black
keys included. The journey is hard,
even for the traveller who is lying on a
thick felt mattress in q comfortable
tarantass, and it is easy to conceive
what the convict experiences, who is
bound to sit motionless for eight or ten
hours on the bench of the famous ve-
hicle, having but few rags to shelter
him from snow and rain.
Happily enough, this journey lasts
but few days, as at Tumen the exiles
are embarked on special barges, or
floating prisons, taken in tow by special
steamers, and in the space of eight or
ten days are brought to Tomsk. I
hardly need say that, however excel
lent the idea of thus reducing bv one
half the long journey through Siberia,
its partial realization has been most
imperfect. The convict barges are
usually SO oyercrowded and are usually
IN. such a state of filthiness
that they have become real nests
of infection. Each barge has been
built for the transport of 800 convicts
and the convoy" wrote the Tomsk cor
respondent of The Moscow Telegraph.
on November 15, 1881; "the calcula-
tion of the size Of the barges has not
been made, however, according to the
necessary cabl.al space, but according
to the interests OF the owners Of the
steamers, NM. Kurbatoff and Ingatoff.
These gentlemen occupy for their own
purposes two compartments for 100
men each, and thus 500 must
take the room destined for 600.
The ventilation is very bad, there being
no accommodation at all for that pur-
pose, and the cabinets are of an un-
imaginable nastiness." He adds that
"the mortality on these barges is very
great, especially among the children,
and his information is fully confirmed
by official figures published last year
in all newspapers. 1t appears from
these figures that to 10 per cent. OF
the convict passengers died during
their ten days journey on board these
barges; that is, something like sixty to
eighty out of 500.
Here you see, wrote friends of ours
who have made this passage, "the
reign of death. Diptheria and typhus
pitilessly cut down the lives of adults
and children, especially Of these last
Corpses of children are thrown out
nearly at each station. The hospital
placed under the supervision of an ig
norant soldier, is always overcrowded.

Rice Cn:ture.
Inter Ocean.

The best rice is that raised in South
Carolina, where the rice is sown in
trenches, which are eighteen inches
apart, and flooded to depth OF several
inches. The water is then drawn of
and later, the fields are flooded again,
to kill the weeds. The water is al
lowed to stand nearly two weeks this
time, and not again turned into the
field until the grain is almost ripe.
Marshy places are not so good as
well irrigated land. Most of the rice
used in Europe is imported from India.
There, and also in China, the hills are
chosen rather than the plains, and are
SO well irrigated that often it is only
with the greatest difficulty that the
fields can be weeled on account of the
water. In some districts canals are
carried along the hillsides. Upland
rice is species cultivated in Ceylon,
Fara and Hungary, which requires dry
land, rotting if placed under water.
The only states Of North America
which cultivate rice for market are
South Carolina and Georgia. Rice
will not grow as far north as Mime
sofa. What the Indians use there is
Canadian or wild rice, which grows
abundantly in the northwest, in m;ry
places, and often on the margin of the
lakes. It reaches the height of seven
or eight feet, and the long and narrow
seed makes a nourishing meal of which
the Indians are very fond.

Another. popular cure is the Sweat
ing-stone," so called, in the mosque OF
ST. Sophia. 1t is large pillar near
the left-hand entrance, OF sort of
greenish- white stone. In this, about
the height of mans head, is small
hole hardly large enough to contain the
entire fingers. Through some peculiar
natural property of the stone, the inside
of this hole is always covered with
salty moisture. No matter how often
this is wiped away, it instantly returns,
and this "sweat" of the stone the Turks
credit with miraculous curative quail
ties. Hundreds come here, it is said,
to rub their diseased members with
the healing moisture. The graves of
many of the deal dervishes, too, who
in life had extra luck as "tramplers, ,
have been converted into shrines, to
which sick persons make pilgrimages in
hope of cure. They tie on the gratings
before these tonbs long strips of fan
mel and wool-black, yellow and red
torn from their clothes, and do not for
get to leave plaster or SO in the
money basin before departing. This is
the cure for fevers and colds and also q
protective against the "evil eye."
