Big Bear and the Molasses.

One night recently big and hungry
black bear got into the dingy of the
West Branch logging camp and sue
ceeded in breaking open a key of mo-
lassess, which he Tapped joyfully until
finally, as is supposed, he cnpsized it,
besmearing himself from top to toe.
In thrashing around after more sweets
the bear pulled down from shelf sack
of flour, which burst and gave him q
regular shower bath. The flour, adher-
ing to bruins molassos- bcdaubed front,
gave him an appearance ut once CHASTITY
and ludicrous, and in this guiso he sal
lied forth 10 the logging-road, q sticky
and Disguised bear.
The strengthening brute had not
gone far when he met II party of loggers
returning from n visit to another camp.
On perceiving his bearship the woods
men set up an unearthly howl, and
made back tracks at n speed never APP
preached by Littlewood, tlinging away
their weapons as they went. When
they came cautiously buck at dawn the
frightened loggers were laughed at, and
they will be guyed about their ghost I'M

The Odor of Flowers.

There are three distinct classes of per-
fumes derived from plants. The first
consists of various odoriferous gum res
ms eXuding from trees and shrubs
which yield them, such us benzion.
myrrh, and camphor In the second
class we have those procured by dis
tillation, procuring thereby what are
known to commerce as the essential oils
The altar of roses, of orange flowers,
cinnamon, cloves, sage, mint, thyme, etc. i,
are procured by distillation; the oil,
being lighter than water, rises to the
top, allowing a separation of the two.
In the process of distillation the fra
grant part of the plant is put into the
still and covered with water; and when
the water boils the altar rises along with
the steam, they are condensed together
and are then easily separatedby de-
canting, as it is termed. The var-
icty of essential oils is endless, and there
is n certain relationship among odors
as i'll tints of color, but the lemOn-like
odors are most numerous. All the es-
sential oils are very soluble in alcohol,
IN fnt, butter, and various kinds Of fixed
oils. Butter is sometimes employed
for collecting and holding the more deli
cate perfumes Eisen off by flowers. In
the third class We find the perfumes proper
such as are mainly used for pertaining
handkerhiefs, etc. But, contrary to the
general belief, nearly all of the perfumes
derived from flowers are not made by
distillation, but by processes known us
enfieuraSc and maccration. -Neeo YORK;

Chief Justice Fuller's Precociousness

"Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man
his blood shall be shed, thinking this
to be a bomb shell to his opponents, he
dwelt upon it till his time expired,
when the boy sprang to his feet and
said:
''Suppos;ng we take the law which
the gentleman has quoted, and which i'll

as null and VOID since tho birth of our

''what are you going to do with that

The boys logic called out rounds of

Perilous Trip of an sloping Girl.

John Christy, wealthy farmer, re-
siding amile north of Munfordville, KY,
near the banks of Green River, has a
pretty eighteen-year-old daughter, Lu-
ella. Sandford Greer. %young tiller of
the soil, dwelling near by, but on the
other side of the stream, loved Luella
and she loved him, butt Did man Christy
was opposed to the matth. He said that
Greerwas not able to tn se care of wife,
and so his negative wass.mphatic. Sand
ford and Luella arranged to elope, and
set the day for making the venture.
Luella is strong armed Kentucky girl,
and can row boat as well as a man.
Sandford did not dare venture on Mr.
Christy's side of the river, and it was
agreed that Luella should pull across in
her fathers skiff to the opposite bank,
where her lover would meet her with
horses, and they would go to MunfOrd-
vile. Owing to the heavy rains, the
river rose rapidly, and became such a
torrent that 1t was dangerous for boat
pulled by single person. Young Greer
was unable to get word across for his
sweetheart not to venture, and the girl,
not dauntcd by the danger, started out to
keep the appointment Before her boat
was one-thlfd the way across her lover
appeared ON the opposite bank with two
horses, while her father, with pistol,
reached the one she had just left. He
had missed his daughter, and suspect
ing that she had intended to elope, fol-
lowed her, swearing that he would kill
young Greer. When he saw the girl on
the water he shouted to her to come
back OF she would be drowned, but she
padded boldly on for the opposite shore,
the force of the current sending her IN
a diagonal direction. The angry father
was powerless. He had no other boat,
and he could do nothing but watch his
daughter either lose her life or reach the
man she loved. But the girl pulled
with a strong and firm hand, and, al
though her boat several times came near
being overturneasshy the rushing cur
rent, she reached S<te bank whore her
lover was waiting. Then they mounted
the horses, went to town, and were mar
ried. Chicago Herald.

A Cripple Gambling on the Ice.

A pathetic incident was witnessed the
other day up on State street, near
Twenty-ninth. In Il vacant lot there
was quite an extensive sheet of ice,
frozen over after the recent thaw. This
slippery surface was covered with rag
ged urchins living near by, and the ma
jority of them were on skates. All Of
them were apparently having q good
deal of fun. Right in the midst of the
crowd was an unfortunate little fellow
whose legs had both been amputated
near the hip. Upon his hands were
strapped an old pair of skates, and lie
skillfully glided over the ice on them
with his little companions. Apparently
he asked no odds of them, and they gave
him none, tumbling over the poor little
fellow and he tumbling over them. He
shouted with glee and joined in their
laughter, and the boy with no legs had
as much fun as any of the other skaters.
