wild Bears Among Us.

According to the american FIELD,
wild bears have become very numerous in
the deep recesses of the Shawangunk Noun
tains. that border Orange and Sullivan
counties, n. Y. They are the genuine
Black Forest wild boar of Europe, the de-
seendants of nine formidable and ferocious
boars and sows which Mr.. Otto Flock,
of New York, imported some few years
ago for the purpose Of annihilating the
snakes and vermin that infested his estate
near the Shawangunk Mountains. After
the bears had eaten up all the snakes and
yermin in the inclosure, they longed for
more, and dug under the wire fencing and
escaped to the mountains, where they have
since bred and multiplied. They are 50
ferocious that the most daring hunter is
said to hesitate before attacking them.
They have immense heads, huge tusks and
shoulders, aud lank hind parts.

A Counting story.

Rev. H. NJ. Eaton, Of Maine, relates q
story which illustrates man 5 inclination 10
attribute to Divine win the wishes Of his
own heart. In the early days Of Maine
Methodism, he says, il was the custom for
Young ministers to consult their Presiding
Elders before taking a wife Once during
a campmeeting in Eastern Maine young
minister approached the Presiding Elder,
and said he wished to be married. "Whom
do You propose to marry ?" asked the Ell
der. aWell, said the young man, 'the
Lord has made known to me very clearly
that should marry sister Mary Turner
Il know her well, said the Elder, i.she is
fine girl; / viii see you again before the
meeting closes.
During the week fur other young min
isters consulted the Presiding Elder on the
subject of marriage. Each Of them gave
the name of the same young woman to
whom he proposed 10 offer himself. They
had all prayed over the matter great deal,
and each was certain that it was Gods de-
sire that he should marry the person named.
On the last day Of the campmeeting, at
noon, the Elder called the five young min
sters to his tent 10 receive his opinion.
He said "Now, brethren, it may be the
viii of God for you to marry, but it is not
His will thatfive Methodist ministers should
marry that little sister, Mary Turner"

The Hottest weather Known.

aWhat is the hottest weather ever
known in the United States ?" Theques-
ton is answered in the May bulletin of the
Kentucky statistical weather service. The
highest temperature recorded by the
United States signal service was at Phoenix
and Fort Mcdowell, Arizona, in June,
1883. The thermometer marked 119 de-
grees. However, unofficial observers re-
port temperatures as high as l28 and l22
degrees at Mammoth Tank and Humboldt,
California. The coolest weather recorded
by the service was So below zero at Poplar
River. Montana. But this is warm
place compared with Werchojansk, Siberia,
the coolest inhabited spot on the globe.
The thermometer there has been as low as
80 degrees below zero. In view of these
figures let US not complain Of a paliry 80
degrees above zero.

AN OVERSIGHT OF MAKEUP.

sweet little baby brother
Had come to live with Flo
And she wanted it brought TO the table,
That it might eat and grow
"Itmust wait for while" said grandma
In answer to her plea;
For little thing that hasn't teeth
Can't cat like you and me-"
"why hasn't it got teeth, grandma
Asked Flo, in great surprise.
ooh. my; but isn't it funny
No teeth, but nose an eyes.
Il guess, after thinking gravely,
@They must have been forgot,
Can't we buy him some like grandpa's2
like to know why not"
That afternoon to the corner
With paper and pen and ink,
Went Flo. saying: Don't talk to me.
Ifyou do it'll 'sturb me think,
I'm writing a letter, grandma,
To send away tonight,
An cause it's very portant
Iwant to get it right"
At last the letter was finished
wonderful thing to see,
And directed to God in heaven"
please read it over to me"
said little Flo to her grandma,
80 see ifirs right, you know"
And here is the letter written
To God by little Flo:
DEAR Con: The baby you broughtus
Is awful nice and sweet,
But cause you forgot his toofies
The poor little thing can't eat.
That's why I'm writing this letter
purpose to let you know;
Please come and finish the baby.
That's all. From LITTLE FLO"

The Laurel as Our National Flower.

The recent suggestion that it is time for
us to adopt national flower has started
quite debate. Other nations prize special
blossoms, and why should not we pick out
a particular flower The lilies Of France
inspired to deeds of daring; the rose of
England is pressed by the pages of British
history; the hardy thistle of Scotland re-
calls many struggle for freedom; and the
little shamrock of ireland has often walked
uthoughts that do lie too deep for tears,
and caused the weary exile to sigh for the
green hills and valleys of his native land.
What, then, shall our national flower
be? There is no country richer in flowers
than our own. Every prairie is aglow
with them; ike Ruth, they stand among
the golden corn, the tassels of which wave
in happy valleys; they bloom unseen IN
primeval forests, and crown the cliffs with
tender beauty. Indeed, the real difficulty
would seem to be out of so much color and
fragrance to choose one flower without ne
clecting others. The violet is a sweet and
dainty blossom, but 1t Is too delicate to
rightly represent vigorous national life
and growth. The trailing arbutus, or Mag
flower, and the golden rod have both been
presented as candidates. Each has its
merits, and with either Maryland might
well be satisfied, for our State is rich IN
both Aud so il goes.
The Hartford Conn Times comes for
ward with the suggestion that if a national
flower Is to be adopted the mountain laurel
(Kafnsia kafifotia) would be the most
fitting. There are undoubtedly very
strong arguments in favor Of the laurel.
In beauty Of form and richness Of color it
cannot well be surpassed Il can be cult
waited in almost endless variety; it blossoms
North and South, East and West, and as
it is an evergreen il is symbolical Of that
perennial life which dwells in the Republic.
An over the continent 1t can now be seen
opening its masses Of glorious bloomi and
even when the winter comes, and trees and
fields are bare, is green shines brightly
amid the dcsOlation. A correspondent Of
the journal mentioned has written the fol-
lowing verse, which is not only tender in
sentiment but fully sets forth the Iaurel's
claims:
Mountain Laurel let Il be-
Emblem Of cur Liberty,
Ever green. in sun OF shower
Earth has not a fairer flower.
when the snow Is on the hills.
And hoar-ffost has bound the RMS
When the suniower hides its head.
And the blaebells silence keep.
Warmly in their winter bed
vlolets and daisies sleep:
Then the Kaimia's rugged form
stands erect amid the storm
Never cringing. never eowed.
Though the tempest thunder loud
As the rocks and hills steadfAst,
Gathering strength from every blast
Like our own Repuhlic's story.
