Dangers of Trapping the Grizzly.

l saw some remarks upon this subject
the other day from an old trapper and
hunter which evince a most thorough
knowledge of the matter, and which CO
incide in every particular with my own
personal experience.
He says: II have hunted and trapped
the grizzly bear scores of times, and if
any one thinks there isn't peril as well as
excitement in the sport let him go out
into the grizzly's country and try it. I
know that the grizzly bear, next to the
Indian, was the ugliest customer thirty
years ago that the hunter had to deal
with. In those days we used to think
there was more danger in trapping the
grizzly bear than there was in chasing
him with the rifle.
''There have been times when trappers
have come up with the bear at the very
moment he has succeeded in tearing loose
from the trap. l know one man, James
Carver by name, who happened to reach
his grizzly at such time The bear
made one rush, and before the compan-
ion who was with Carver realized the
situation the bear had torn Carver to
pieces.
81 heard some one say once that when
you have trapped 1000 pound grizzly
you haven't caught a bear at all, but
simply the devil incarnate, and tell you
that's pretty near the truth. Gen.
Marcy in Outing.

Paternal "Reminiscences,

Col. Fred Grant and Robert Lincoln
were conversing in low tones in the Fifth

a cigar out of his pocket and stuck it in
his mouth. From his trousers pocket he
drew forth solid gold match box.

biggest stone with his thumb and the
lid of the box flew open.

Lending Keys to Strangers.

The wiles of the criminal classes are
often so ingenious that can't help be-
ieving that if those who practice them
were to turn their energies into other
courses they would attain no small need
of honor and fame. Some little time
ago, for example. burglar was caught
red handed in a strong room, opening a
safe with key that could not have been
more perfect had it been supplied by the
maker of the lock. The man, after hav-
ing been convicted, was asked to say
how he had obtained the key.
Nothing easier" he replied. 1--WE
knew who carried the key and what it
was like, SO me and my pals got into the
same railway carriage with your man
ager when he was going home one day.
One of us had bag which he couldn't
open. Has any gentleman a key?' he
asked. Your manager produced his
bunch, and my pal, who had wax in his
palm, while appearing to open his bag,
took a likeness of the key of the SAFE

Oriental Pedd,ers in New York.

Turks and Arabs occasionally come
through Castle Garden with designs on
America as a dwelling place, and they
generally stay and succeed right we'll.
They pick up the language in no time,
and are soon busy at small tobacco
stands, or in Oriental bazars and Turk
ish bath houses, or selling Turkish con-
fections and highly diluted altar of roses
on the streets and in shops and offices.
AS peddlers they get ON beautifully.
Their handsome faces and Oriental man
ners draw nickels and quarters from
those they approach with magical celer-
ity. They always have a 'God be with
you," or peace be yours" even for
those who resist their Establishments.
Their patience is something miraculous,
and their persistence is without the irri-
tating vulgarity which sometimes mars
the otherwise perfect symmetry of the
American born vender of small mer-
chandise, who becomes in time a bull
dozer of high degree. Only the male
Turks and Arabs engage in the scufle
for bread. They usually discard their
twistitied names, and rechristen them
selves by some easy and comfortable
Christian name, such as Charley"

Lately have read all the How Was
Educated" and Books That Have Helped
Me" papers, and have noted how, in
the majority of instances, the great writ
ers and thinkers of today were confined
in their childhood and youth to compare
lively few books. These they read till they
were learned almost by heart. And by SO
doing they not only got out all, or nearly
all, that was in the authors, but insen-
sibly acquired a good literary style. An
author whose entire meaning and pur-
pose can be grasped at one reading is not
of the highest class, and the more we ad-
vance in life and in culture, the more
pleasure do we find in our favorite au-
thors. They respond to the improve
ment in ourselves. The more powers of
appreciation we possess, the more do we
find IN them to appreciate. They never
disappoint us. but are constantly reveal
ing new thoughts and previously hidden
meanings.
The student alone thoroughly enjoys
books. Remember this, you swimmers
who are not too confirmed in Your bad
habits, and you readers who would really
enjoy the wisdom of our best friends.
Bear with me if l repeat, lit is better
not to know so many things than to know
so many things that are not so."-Julian

MexicO's Excellent Schools,

"What is the present status ofthe
educational interests of MeXico?" vas
asked of Mr. Talbot, of The Raifay
Age.
In answering this question l am ON
PEELED to admit that herein | experienced
the most agreeable surprise of the mhy
by which my long journey was marl,d.
In most of the states education is en-
pulsory, the public schools in these on
shutting one of their chief glories: oil
leges and seminaries supported who'll or
IN part by the state governments eXis in
all the principal cities and are i a
f1ourishing condition; poor boys arein-
structed in the various trades. sue. as

shoemaking, printing, spinning, adj
dlery, ETC., along with their spelhg.

girls are taught to sew. to knit. to COX.
to embroider and, in short, to creditbly
discharge all the duties of housewe at
the same time that music and the ON
mon branches of our own American,du-
cation are being taught them: and II at
the public expense.
eff any one supposes that educatm is
a neglected question in our sister roub-
lie. let him visit its capital or eitlm of
the cities of Chihuahua, Aquascaliates,
Queretaro, Guanajunto, Guadalaara,
Pueblo, Morelia, Orizaba, Vera ruz,
Jalapa or Cuarnavaca on the occasm of
any public examination of students. He
will experience great surprise and quail
delight. He will find the childra of
Spaniards, of mixed races and ofpure
Indians, sitting side by side and lobly
struggling for the same prizes. All the
same is true of the towns, village, and
great farms. Chicago Journal inter-

Working Swiss Wine Press,

In the cafes and other public places
there were placards advertising American
wine presses, but saw none of them in
use. At a farm house near us we looked
on at the use of one of the old fashioned
Swiss presses. Under it lay mighty
cake of grapes, stems and sims, crushed
into common mass, and bllging further
beyond the press with each turn of the
screw, while the juice ran in little rivu-
let into tub below. When the press
was lifted the grapes were seen only half
crushed. Two peasants then mounted
the cake and trimmed it into shape with
long handled spades. piling the trimmings
on top, and then bringing the press down
again. They invited us with charming
politeness to taste the juice, but their
heavy boots bore evidence of too recent a
visit to the cherished manure heap, and
we thanked them with equal courtesy.
This grape cake, when it had yielded
up its last drop, would be broken to
pieces and scattered over the fields as a
fertilizer. The juice would meanwhile
have been placed to ferment in the tuns,
twelve AID thirteen feet deep, which lay
in the adjoining celar.-W. d. Howells
in Harper's Magazine.

Dress and Social Etiquette.

Those clubs and sociables which lgree
to meet without dressing up" o not
generally last long. When peoplecome
together for any rational object they
ought to ''dress up" 1t is possible to
overdress. and to attach an Unreasonable
importance to externals; but, surelt, this
is an extreme less to be deplored han a
boorish Indifference to the impression we
make on others. 1t is not well to nut on
clothes which are costly teyonl our
means, or splendid beyond the ocasion
but it is highly proper to express dlr re-
spect for the company we enter bymak-
ing ourselves as pleasing to tie eyeas we
reasonably can.
The great enemy of social ENJOYMENT
in this age is the spirit of show-of. In
order to be agreeable, after the fist five
minutes, we must possess a ertain
amount of good natured interest in
others. We must, in some wa, sup
press the troublesome and impairment
Ego within us, and put forth BENEVOLENT
efforts to crafty the Ego of our cmpan-
ion.- Youths Companion.

Thousands of the CT 1employed" earn

work. The o. i'd .ley ,af, they
ramp, they .er, the teal, al i SO ON
through the whole gamut of lazness and
vice. Why is thisl We have already
said. Human nature is far from perfect
yet. Many rogues are born; many
others are easily turned into roguos ~
circumstances. 1t is likely enough that
the instinct of evil living is transmitted;
it is certain that the contamination of
vicious surroundings has its natural ef-
feet. Necessity holds the born felon in
a pitiless grip. Birth gives the infant
the fatal bent; home life develops it.
The unwieldy bulk of modern society is
traversed by hard lines of moral as well
as of social cleavage.
Crime runs into pockets like ore in
the mine. The Ishmaelites dwell alone
and propagate among themselves. There
is nothing to alternate the vicious strain.
We have on the fringe of the decent
population a class of creatures who, at
best. are worthless, and too often are
pure pests. 1t is recruited, but it is not
regenerated, from the outside; on the
other hand, it feeds the ranks of the
thriftless, the reckless, the ne'er-do-
wells. What must be the result of such
a state of things9 With rapidly in
creasing population, with greater mass
of poverty, a greater number of viciously
disposed people crowding into East
ends in all our great cities, what can we
expect from continuance of the present
system of dealing with the criminal
classes? Reason answers that we are to
expect nothing but evil.-St James
