EXTRAORDINARY GAME OF CRIBBAGE -
The lovers of the game of criObage will
read with interest the following account
given by correspondent of the New York
Sun A short time ago, in playing cribbage
with a friend, l being the dealer, it was
found, after discarding for the crib, that
we each held precisely the same cards in
regard to value-namely, two deuces and
two aces. My opponent led an ace, which
l mated, and scored two. He then played
the third ace, and counted six, which
Immediately followed with the fourth and
counted twelve. OF course the same thing
happened with the deuces, thus making for
me, with one for my last card, score from
pegging of twenty mine. This actual ex-
perience suggested the following possible
hands Two aces, two deuces and two
skies to each player, with a three for the
turn-up card. Presuming that each player
would discard the two skies for the crib,
which l believe would be the correct thing
to do. the dealsI's score would be as fol-
lows From pegging, as already shown,
twenty.nine from his hand, in runs, six
teen and from his crib, in fifteens and pairs,
twenty. four-thus making total score of
sixty-nine, being the game, with eight to
spare, from one deal. Can any one of your
readers suggest combination of cards in
cribbage which would yield greater score
than this ?

how BEARS Fish.

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, and
secure all the hornets nests they can, and
tear them to pieces and eat the young
grubs. pick berries of all descriptions and
eat them, and would seem to belono to the
dry.laud animals. The fact is different.
They love the water, not perhaps as well 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 | have seen about
the lakes. l came suddenly upon very
large bear in thick swamp, lying upon
large hollow log across brook, fishing,
and he was 90 much interested in his sport
that he did not notice me until had ap-
preached very near to him, so that | could
see exactly how he baitsd his hook and
played his fish. He fished in this wise ::
There was 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 clutched his
fist and brought up handful 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 suck
ers, SO the old fellow let himself out on
the fishes. He did not eat their leads.
There was quite pile of them on the log.
I suppose tie oil in his paw attracted the
fish and baited them even batter than a
fyhook, 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 the forest brooks, and drink of the
pure water in hot summer days, and love
to lie and wallow in the muddy swamps,
as we'll as our pigs in the mire. They often
cross narrow places in lakes by swimming,
and also rivers, and seem to love to take a
turn in the water. l once saw one swim
ming from the mainland to the big island
in Mooselucmagantic lake, with just
streak of his back out of the water, looking
like a log moving. Sometimes you see
only their heads out of water; at other
times half Of their bodies are to be seen.
We account for this difference by their
condition. If fat, the grease helps buoy
them up; if lean, they sink lower in the
water. Lewiston Journal.

A MOVE TO PRESERVE Our FORESTS.
Senator Sherman has introduced bill pro.
viding for the withdrawal of timber lands,
which are the property of the nation, ad
iaeent to the sources of navigabls rivers
and their ailments. This is the first prac-
teal step toward the preservation of the
forests, and their influence upon the rain
fall and fertility of the country, which has
been taken in national legislation since the
beginning of the agitation of the question,
and is timely. The denudation OF the
country of its forests has already proceeded
so far that its disastrous effects are visible
in the climate and in the sggravstion of
floods and droughts, and the process Is 60.
ing on in continually multiply ing ratio.
We need not look abroad to countries that
have suffered in the same way by the de-
struction of their trees, but can see in the
desert plateaus of our own country what
barrenness and other climatic dissdvant-
ages accompany the absence of forests. 1t
is exceedingly difficult to regulate the au.
thority and management of private prop
erty so as to prevent the destruction OF
trees, although it is done in France and
may be ultimately necessary here, il wiser
habits do not prevail But the nation can
reserve its timber lands governing the flow
of streams, and show by an example of sys
tematized and regular cutting to correspond
with the growth, how to utilize and yet
preserve the necessary forest growth. As
1t is now, there is not the slightest regard
for the possible renewal of forests after the
indiscriminate and wholesale denudation of
large tracts of land, and barrenness threat
ems to follow waste, even where it has
not actually done 80. The Government
should set the example of wize and conser-
vative forethought in the hope that it may
influence individual action. New York

WORTH a LICKING.

Some years ago, in Georgia, that band
of Christians known as Ascensiouists were
having a grand revival. One day, when
the meeting was in full force, a storm came
up, and young gentleman who was out
hunting with his servant took refuge In
the church door. Being curious to see the
service, the two hunters crept up into the
gallery, and there hid in a place where
they could observe without being observed.

ROYALTY AND DYNAMITE.
MATTHEW ARrorD's RELIGION.

Mr.. Arnold IS unique ss a would be
religious reformer. Paul did not more con-
stantIy insist on justification by faith and
salvation through grace than does Mr.. Ar
mold upon salvation through culture. By
it he means " knowledge of the best that
has been thought and said in the world, !"
and it 81 has it's origin in love of perfec
ton - it is moral as well as intellectual,
and even includes religion-but by religion
he means little or nothing so his imposing
theory, with its beautiful phrases, COL
lapses and reverts to the baldest rational
ism. He Indignantly refuses to be classed
as an intidel, yet more Indignantly refuses
to be classe1 with ordinary Christian be-
LEVERS His religious theory begins with
the postulate that modern thought has
hopelessly broken with the old theology,
aud that people have lost faith in the
Bible. 1.-The world cannot do without the
Bible. and it cannot do with it as
it is," he says. It is startling to
find that he begins the process of recon-
structing religion By eliminating personal

which all things fulfill the law of their

Jesus Christ to mere teacher, and an in
spring force. The only wonder Is that
Mr.. Arnold should believe that such re-
siduum as he left is fi5 TO be called religion
at all. He has reconstructed Christianity
with Christianity left out. He is more
dogmatic than Calvin, while he bitterly
denounces dogmatism. While his rei-
gious system, as far as he has any, is sure
to perish, it is having great effect in mod

WOMEN AND COSMETICS 1t is stated in
the columns of medical journal of recent

fashionable circles both here and abroad.
There are many women, says the New y ork
EreRiHg Post, who consider a gco1 COM
plexion one of the chief desideratums life
can offer, and one to be obtained at almost
any cost. It is no secret that the poison,
when taken in specific doses or quantities,
has the effect of clearing the skin and rem
dering it soft and exquisitely transparent !;
but the after consequences Of its prolonged
use ought to be seriously considered, for
they are sufficiently weighty and alarming
to deter even the greatest aspirant after
loneliness from tampering with so deadly a

would be rash enough to deliberately swal.

MODERN ENGINEERING. The new har

cause of the unstable bottom, and it Is
stated that the walls, when once under

sudde .ly slipped forward and out of sight.
But the present walls nave already with.

But its little hsrbor, constructed by Maria
Theresa in the last century, has been en-
tirely inadequate to it's steadily growing
commerce. No vessels of more than three
hundred tons burden could come to its
auays, and though larger craft could find
generally safe anchorage in the outer road
stead, they have been exposed to danger
from southerly storms. The new piers
now make it possible for vessels of any
size to find safe shelter in the harbor of
Trieste.
