IT costs the State Of Maine quite a lit
tie handful of money to get rid of bears
every year, as the Treasurer has to hand
out SIS every time one Of the malauders
is killed. In 1888 the bear slayers OF
the State made total score of 354, and
it was rather a quiet year, for one of the
big hunters was laid up sick and Others
were looking out for different business.
Aroostook is the big bear county, leading
off with 100 killed last year, while Pen
obsc0t comes next with 70. Washing
ton had 50; Somerset, 81; Hancock, "A;
Oxford, %; Franklin, IS; Piscataquis, 6,
and Waldo, /. 1t doesn'tseem to make
any particular difference how many
beps are killed, the woods are full of
them Just the same, and if the State
should pay out $1,000 year in boun-
ties instead Of 81, TO as it did last year,
the black bear would still be with us.

HERR LINDAUER, travelling on the Lake
of Como, recently gave waiter a paper
of diamonds, telling him that it was a
tip, and made similar presents to others.
The police asked him some questions,
and he replied that he lived upon dia-
monds and he paid with diamonds,
whereupon he proceeded to swallow
several of the precious stones. He was
locked up in an asylum and his friends
sent for. He had nearly $4,000 worth
of diamonds in his possession at the
time. The waiter to whom he gave the
diamond tip threw away the stones,
supposing they were bits Of glass, or says
he did.

IT appears by the quarterly report just
received from Castle Garden, New York,
City, that the immigration thus far this
year has been over one-fifth less than that
for the corresponding period of last year,
or, in other words, it has fallen from 81,
546 to 0,6S5. The decline of numbers
is among the Italians, British, and Irish,
not among the Germans or Russians.
Advices from various countries in Eu-
rope, however, lead to the belief that
there will be big rush during the sum-
mer months, especially if encourage
ment is given to it by the condition of
the labor market in the United States.
1t is fact that warnings against immi-
grafton to America have been sent to
Germany and Great Britain by several
of the leaders Of powerful rades unions
in this country.

AN article in one of the German
socialist organs, calls attention to the
fact tllatif Anarchists have accomplished
nothing else they have succeeded in so
frightening the people that when an
armory is erected nowadays it is no
longer as designed simply for meeting
place for militis, but as a semi-fortress
and barracks well calculated to resist
the violence of any mob. Some OF the
great structures in New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston and Chicago, which are
tenanted by the crack mil; ia regiments,
show that the main idea Of the designers
was to provide adequate defense against
an outside attack Nothing of this sort
existed in olden times. The majority
of the armories before the war were
over shops, or had been altered from
ordinary meeting-halls to suit the peace
full requirements of the regiments.

" / will have it ready in a moment,

/ Mr.. Robert Thompson looked up.
4 Evidently he had not expected so pleas
ant reply. If the truth must be told,
he had thought good bit that morning
about the white ware. Not in the way

ably be sulky over it when they got in

who IS his assistant: ''Leprosy has done its

father is completely disfigured; his voice is
almost extinct. Fortunately he has yet the
use of his hands, which a great number Of
other people have lost; and also that his feet
are not yet falling to pieces, as happens to 50
many here. He is yet so useful, 50 necessary,
and that for many things. He has under lis
charge over 100 leper orphans. This in itseE
is not light burden, there being no one t
help us but leper boys; besides, the number
increases every week The father has also
begun about month after my arrival to
build new church thirty by seventy feet,
forty feet Of which is of stone, and the rest Of
wood We have only one mason, white
leper, an Irishinan. Father Damien is the
head carpenter, and his helpers are two or
three leper boys. Although am not a leper,
could not leave here to go to any other Of
these islands without a proper certificate
from the board of health. But I have nc
wish to go anywhere. My mission is here,
and here I'll remain" Doubtless this priest
