..sun.et- Cox's Bear STORY.

'1n the Yellowstone park" said
Representative Cox to Washington
correspondent OF the New York World.
''the scripturd prophecy about the
lion and lamb lying together is par
alleled If not fulfilled. II the lion and
the lamb don't lie together at least the
bear and swine sup together and all
the animal kingdom are on fairly
friendly terms. The hunted beasts out
side the borders of the reservation
seek its security, and when they feel
the protection OF the government
thrown around them they ease their
headlong speed and breath In the fresh
air Of freedom. | can't tell how they
know it; they can't read the posters
that are stuck up warning hunters, but
they somehow realize that tho arm of
the government Is thrown around them
when they get into the national park.
when Mrs. Cox and 1 were at an
inn in the park they told us OF a big
bear that came down every evening
just before sunset to eat the swill that
was thrown out to the hogs. The hog
pen was about a mile back of the
house, in the woods, and this bear
would come down every day TO eat the
swill, and would go away content with
out eating any of the little pigs. AS
he did not leave much food for them,
perhaps they never got fat enough for
his taste. While we were ut dinner
they told us that the girl who was
waiting on table had mot the bear in
the path near the pen. She was car
rying a basket of clothes from the
wash and had the clothes on her head.
She said she was not afraid, but | sup
pose she was modest girl for she
dropped her clothes and ran. Mrs.
Cox and | had suspicion that they
were fooling us, but il there was
bear we wanted TO see it. So my wife
and l went out by the hog-pen to see
the bear. Sure enough we met him in
the woods-a great, big fellow. He
gave n side glance Mt us and shuffled
off as IL he were about to run away.
We were about twenty yards away
from him and quickened our pace TO
advance on him. He suddenly chang
ed his mind about running, and we
changed our minds Also He turned
toward us and growled. l remarked
to Mrs. Cox that as she was getting fat
and could not walk as fast as formerly
it would be just us we'll if she'd turn
back toward the hotel. Then | mod
estly followed. She walked much fast
er than l thought she could"

Secretary Tracy's Little Adventure.

Secretary Tracy engaged in little
Arabian Nights" expedition yester-
day, says the New York Herald. which
called forth some rather humorous in
cidents. He visited the Brooklyn ma
vy-yard without any OF the pomp or
ceremony OF state, and naturally was
not recognized when he got there,
The man at the gate handed him a
pass to let him out rs is done in the
case OF visitors. The secretary re-
marked: IL don't need any pass"
"Yes, you do" said the man at the
gate, emphatically. "You can't get
out OF here without II pass unless you
climb the stone wall"
The secretary took the pass. 1t did
not take the news OF his identity l)ng
to spread and reach the gate-keeper.
Here's your pass" said the sccreta-
ry, as he passed out.

spouse, in an apologize tone.

Proof that the Great Divinity
Designed that mortals,
To taste OF perfect bliss, must fly
To heavens portals.
II not, why are our natures tried
BY longings oil unsatisfed!
Why do our towers reared with pri dc,
Totter and fall
Why are the sweets on lfe's wayside
Mingled with galli
Music and dscord mingle here
The joyous laugh, tho bitter tear,
The sunshine and the storm-cloud drear,
All in an hour,
BY turns will crush tho heart and cheer
Such Is earth's dower!
But there's q land beyond the sky,
Where hope within us cannot die.
Where there is Mother tear nor sigh,
Nor strife nor terror;
Where al is peace and harmony,
Unmixed with error.
There, bathed in light, VOL stand before
The One who human sorrows bore;
Who, houscless. famished, sick, and sore,
Was yet mans friend;
And will be when this life Is DER,
Time without end.
Oh, glorious home! oh, mansion blest |!
Thou recompense for life's unrest.

AFish With Scales Like Silver.

The tarpon is a fish known to natur-
alists as mcgalops thrissoldes ranging
from fifty to two hundred pounds in
weight and from four and one-half to
over six feos in length; not unlike a
cross between a huge herring, TO which
family it belongs, and Il huge blue fish
in its general proportions; with large
protruberaut eyes and an ugly mouth
that opens on the ,fsh's nose, so to
speak, covered on either side with n
hard bony semi circular flap that gives
the effect of iowl. Behind and con-
tiruous to the dorsal fin is a sort OF
bony bayonet calle1 the feather some
eight or nine inches long, that pro-
trudes into the air in the direction OF
the tail forming an acute angle with
the line OF the back. The body is COW
cred with brilliant argentine scales
which give tho fish the effect OF having
been laved in silver. and which have
won for it the title OF the Silver King.
These scales. which are circular and
slightly scalloped on the part OF the
edge that is overlapped. vary from one
inch to two inches and a half in dame
ter. The silvery epidermis COW
ers only the exposed portion
which is about one-fourth of
the circumference. The remaining
surface is a slightly yellowish white
not dissimiiar in hue TO mother OF
pearl. though withought its iridesen &c,
translucent but not transparent, and
shiny on the inner side. They are
hard. thin. and of she'll like fiber.
After being removed from the fish and
dried, they curl up so as to remind one
OF u Saratoga chip. but will, If moiste n
ed and compressed, regain at least or
Il short time their former shape. Tn o
extreme brilllancy OF the silvery por =
ton becomes furnished by degrees, in
clining either to yellow or black, but
the permanent color Is still beautiful
and astonishing. The back of the fish
is black, and the silvery effect gra lu-
ally begins at line we'll above the
eye. Some anglers have seen fit to
perpetuate their triumphs by having
specimens OF these monsters mounted
on panel. They form magnificent
trophies for the hall or diningroom of u
large house; and when gazing at a
hundred pound tarpon, which is GER
tainly rather below than above the
average weight OF the fish, one finds
difficulty in believing that it has been
captured with rod and reel.-Robert
Grant, in Scribner's Magazine.

'Can you direct me TO Pacific Cityp"
asked the Buffalo man to station
agent in Dakota as he left the train at
a "huddle" of four or five houses.
Right across the street for infor-

stranger walked across to a shanty
bearing the sign "Real estate" and put
the same question TO red-headed man

"Why-why-"
you are disappointed. OF course. "
"Well, rather"
"You expected to see city OF at
least 5, 900 inhabitants, with parks.
schools, factories, and churches, and
all that?"
"Yes, did"
That's the way with many others,
but it is not our fault. Our object is
to go slow and sure. and not create
anything like boom to give fictitious
values. We have done remarkably
well thus far. One year ago this was
the only structure in the city. Now
look around"
Now l can count seven"
Exactly. That's what our latest
prospectus improved 700 per
cent. in one year. Can you ask a town

and farmer can get sixteen hours q
day out OF the hired men. This is a
great distributing point for the trade
and the centre OF manufactures, and we
shall seek TO have the national capital
removed here. We expect six rail-
roads and two canals to cross here,
three large universities have asked

A Story Of Washington.

Some time ago a party OF gentlemen
at Woodland were discussing the char
acteristics of George Washington, the
Father of His Country, when Sam. Ru-
land. the gorgeousness OF whose mag
ination has made him we'll known
throughout the state, broke IN upon
the conversation. You are right, gen.
tlemen," said he, Washington was Il
cold, austere man. He was as naughty
as could be, and stickler for formali-
ties. There was never but one occa.
sion, so far as l have heard, when he
threw aside the usual frigidity of his
demeanor. That instance was narrated
to me years ago by my grandfather,
who served under Washington in the
war of the revolution. 1t was the next
day after a battle in which the British
troops had been routed. The colonial
troops were drawn up in ranks, and
Washington rode down the line, mount
ed upon the white charger of which
you have all heard. When he came up
to where my grandfather was standing
the latter called out:
"Why, how do you do, geueral?"
"Gen. Washington refined up his
charger, dismounted, threw his arms
around my grandfather's neck and ex-
claimed:
"'Ruland, do not call me general
call me Georgen"

Ina Curious Position.

Prince Joseph Sulkowski is now
drawing good deal OF attention to
himself, says u letter from Berlin.
About three months ago he escaped
from an asylum in Vienna, was
captured at Zurich, and relegated to
another asylum at Bonn. The attend
ants who abetted his escape from the
Vienna asylum have been punished by
Imprisonment, but meanwhile the
doctors ut Bonn are declaring that the
prince is not and never has been mad.
This puts him in curious position.
He is the owner OF vast estates in
Prussia and Austria, and an hereditary
peer in both countries. Unless, there
fore, the doctors all come TO an agree
ment, he will be mad in one country
and sane in another. In Prussia he
will be privileged to make laws, in
Austria his signature will not be valid
for SO much as form.

Well Water.

The common we'll is the most I'M
desirable source OF ALL II it is deep
enough TO strike living spring of
water, and removed from all sources of
contamination, it may be unobjection-
able. but these conditions are rarely
met with in the country, and, we may
say, never in large towns or cities. A
well is usually placed near the house,
for the same reason that tho barnyard,
privy and silk drain are, but their
existence in the same vicinity is in
compatible with u pure and wholesome
water supply. Some even go so far as
to dig the we'll in the cellar, and we
recall the case of n refined and cultured
family who actually had both well and
cesspool underneath their dwelling,
and only a short distance apart Such
barbarous practice is unworthy of a
civilized race, but IL Is to be feared

In the countries OF Western Europe
where forestry has been studied for
ages and the perils OF deforestation
are recognized by all enlightened men,
there arc the most stringent regula-
tions that prevent the stiuction that
in this country wastes at uoonday un-
restrained The overthrow OF tree
on the side OF mountain in Switzer-
land is regarded as Il crime equal to
incendiarism. There must be intelli-
gent authorization before the benea-
cent growth IF years, and often GEN.
turtles, can be stricken down; and
while the woodman, under pains and
penalties, spares the tree, the peasants
cultivate shrubbery 10 prevent de-
pressions from becoming ravines, and
protect their strips OF fertile land
along the rivers from being over
whelmed by the wash that otherwise
would free avalanches OF loosened
stones from the mountain sides. A
traveller through Germany, not NJ
ready informed, is astonished at the
extent OF the forests, the endless ar
ray of trees by the roadside, the sys-
tematic cultivation OF shrubbery,
groves OF lovely willows by the
streams, and the growth OF grasses
where there is liability of loss OF the
soil, and the careful blowing that is
done so that the rain may not scrapc
of the rich earth from the hillsides.
The same care may be- observed,
though hardly to rs great an extent,
in France. In England the preserva-
ton of timber is matter of pride as
well as of profit. One does not there
see great areas OF country entirely de-
psded of trees. They dot the land
Scape on every side, and are regarded
as veritable mascots. One Of the
sorrows OF Spain and of Italy is that
they have been so largely deprived oil
