Not Afraid of 81 Bear.

As a farmer from West Hurley was
driving with his wife on the outskirts
of this city yesterday he came upon
Turk leading a tame bear, SAYS a
Kingston dispatch to the New York
SIN. The farmer, wishing to have his
wife see the bear dance, said he
would give 5 cents to the master of
the bear if he would make 1t
dance. After the dirty Turk got the
money he told the farmer that the
terpischorcan performance would not
begiu until another cents was placed
in his hand Tnis made the farmer
angry, and he said:
ssIf you don't make that bar dance
I'll make YOU dance and the bar too. :"
The owner of bruin made no move
until the farmer got off his wagon to
carry his threat into execution, when
he put his hand to his pocket as if to
draw Il revolver. TneH the farmer
s.let ont with his right" and sent the
| bear-owner sprawlin% in the gutter.
AS soon as the Turk could get up he
took the muzzlc off the bear. ANA III an
unknown tongue, told bruln to go
| for" the farmer. The bear, thus ell
couraged, event for" the farmer, who
soon made his fingers almost meet
around the bears windpipe. When
the farmer saw fit to let go the beal
sneaked up to his master coughing
and splitting blood, and its master be
wan to make tracks from the spot. AL
this time the farmers wife sat still II

Touched the Old Mans Heart.

Once upon time an old man called
his three sons to him in the dusk ofthe
evening, and in Il falteriug voice said
to them: My boys, in a little while
you will have no father. | am stand
ing on the shore of the river of death
and soon | must launch my boat upon
it, Now, | have as YOU know, a
splendid farm. upon which enc man
can thrive, but us there are three of
you have been sorely perplcXrd us TO
which should have it. | have there
fore decided 10 give each of you two
dollars that you must spend Tomorrow,
and IL the one making the wisest pur-
chase shall the farm be given. Come
to me tomorrow evening at this time
and tell me how you have each ex-
pended your money. Now, good,
night. and heaven bless you ALL" On
the following evening the three sons
assembled before their father. Reg
inald, said the latter to the eldest,
''what did you purchase with your
two d0llars?' Father" returned The
son, Il pondered long that l might
make wise use of the money, and at
last | bought pair of strong shoes. :"
"W ell done, well done; the journey
through life is rugged and hard, and
the thorns are thick upon the way.
You have shown prudence and fore
thought, and | love you the better f0r
it, And what did you buy. Augustus2
Il too thought long and deeply re-
sponded the second son, ''that l might
not purchase anything trivial OF foolish.
Since the cap that / wear is worn and
ragged, | bought II hat with a wide
brim, which / show to you, my father. ]"
The old man regarded him with q
glance of pride and affection, and said
You too have done well, Augustus;
often in this world llle brow is feyered
and the suns rays beat tiercely upon
the aching head, and your hat will
comfort you. | rejoice that my sons

With tears Of joy streaming down his

braced Theophilus, and lnurmured in

then Reginald and Augustus moved
sadly away into the gathering gloom
and while the one tried 10 keep the
flies off himself with his hat, the other
kicked himself severely with his new

Honey and the Bat.

An amusing anecdote is related of
George Honey, who. some years ago,
while on Il tour i'll the provinces, had
taken lodgings in Il house in the out
skirts of Il town. Soon after retiring,
he was awakened by a lluttering noise.
us of u bird, around the curtain of his
bed. He sprang up, struck light.
and saw Il small, dark creature. with
wings, laundering about the room.
Not being well versed in natural his
tory, he did not recognize it as bat;
but thinking it a queer sort Of bird,
hu resolved To catch it, if possible, and
examine it by daylight. So he took
his felt hat and attempted, for Il long
lime In vain, 10 capture the intruder:
bat ut length he pounced upon it, care
fully removed it from his hat with his
haud, shut it up in IA drawer, listened
while it struggled for few moments
to escape; and then went to bed and
was soon asleep. But lie was moi
destined to sleep long. Hardly had he
dozed of when a further iiutterin9
awakened him, and lighting another
match, he found second bat He had
an exciting scramble before he caught
this one. buf finally he succeeded and
put it in the drawer with its companion,
and again retired. Again, however, he
was awakened in a similar manner;
bats came not in single spies, butt
the expression be ailowed-iu "bat,
talions.n Each specimen was carefully
deposited in the drawer. At last, after
an unusually long chase, he was SC
heated that he opened the window, and
having retired exhausted enjoyed a
few hours sleep. When he awoke he
jumped ont of bed and opened the
drawer very cautiously, to look for the
prizes of the night; but, 10! there were
no bats there! He opened the drawer
: ide, and then discovered that it had
no back to it. He had, in fact. spent
his night in catching the same bat,
which had flown out at the back of the
drawer rs soon rs he had put it in al
the front, and when the window was
opened, had finally escaped.

EDISON'S NEW CLOCK.

Inventor Edison is busily engaged
in making a photographic clock
which, instead of ringing out the
number of the hour, will announce
the time Of day in stentorlan tones.
The clock is on the same simple plan
as the talking doll. 1t shouts out
the time every quarter OF an hour
AS novelty it is certain to take with
the people. It will prove, also,
very good Office clock, but as an
ornament in the parlor it is a serious
question whether it will ever be
much of a success, especially where
young people are feature OF the
household. The young man calling
upon his best girl on Sunday even
ing would probably receive ire
mendous shock if he heard grutt
voice break in upon his loving
whisperings with the announcement
that it was "12 o'clock" In few
minutes the same harsh voice would
croak again quarter past IL O'clock
That very nice young man would
have no piece of mind till he maze
his escape from the house, as every
quarter of an hour that clock could
be counted on to shout.
AS an alarm clock, the invention IS
destined to triumph. 1t can be
made to call a person at any hour OF
the day. Instead of setting up an
unearthly Gathering, as the present
bell alarm clock now in vogue, 1t
will, in dignitied and solemn man
ner, shout: John, get up; do you
hear me, John? Now, if you don't
get up, I'll take the bootjack."
AS a kitchen clock the invention
will be popular with all house
keepers. Mary the cook, can be re-
minded that it is time to put the oat-
meal on, peal the potatoes and warn
her not to leave the pies too long IN
the oven. .,
In many other ways it is expected
that the clock can be relied on as a
director and mentor In the house
hold. It Will be several months
before the article is put on the
market, and Mr.. Edison feels quite
confident of it's success.

Conscience Money.

oue phase in business life which is
Il. an uncommon one, and which
shows that the world wags not as
Idly as il is said TO do. is the return
ing b. the merchants Of conscience
money" II very often comes under
our notice. The last occasion | OBJ
served was the other day at Bars,
when a well known Catholic clergy
man came up to Mr.. Franklin, by
whom ! was standing, and handed him
80, which a penitent Of his had asked
hmm 10 restore 10 Bars. Whether the
amount the repentant creature re-
Turned had been taken in money or
goods Of course no one knew, and
equally so Of u only the priest
IN y the name Of the person making
Nsutution. Not very long ago a
widow who had been very wealthy,
but had been robbed Of everything,
IN surprised by a visit Of a gentle
man who had formerly known her
husband. He handed her $500, which
10 said had just come to him directed
% his care 10 be delivered TO her,
SIMPLY labeled conscience money"
You have heard the story Of the man
Who sent s20 anonymously TO n shop
kseper, with this laconic note: Here
n go Of money, which | stole from
Jon. l send il because my conscience
saws;' when il 'naws' again / will

Criticism Of Science

Men of science may, as INDIVIDUALS,
fall into many errors They may fail
20 realize the true dignity of their call
ing; they may be unduly swayed by
party spirit or by personal aims; they
may be unworthy ministers of the
truths which they deliver. But sci
ence. what is it but TRUTH And what
10 the scientific spirit but the spirit
that bows to TRUTH To all who are
dissatisfied with the present currents
Of thought we would, therefore, say:
-Criticise men as much as you please.
Point out their errors, their failings,
intellectual and moral, with all need
fnl severity. Hold up the standard
by which you think their lives and
thoughts ought to be governed. Crit
icise theories, too. Let nothing pass
unchallenged or unscrutinized that
you are not satisfied is true. Let no
glamour Of great names, no popularity
q certain modes Of thought, deter you
from expressing your dissent from
what you do not believe.
But do not put yourselves hopelessly
IN the wrong by attacking science, or
~ abusing the scientific spirit. You
will gain nothing by il, but will
merely darken your understandings,
md shut yourselves out from the light
that is ready 10 tighten every man
that comes into the world. Science
will abide. II has its roots in the ever
lasting rocks. and draws its aliment
fronl universal nature. The scientific
Ririt will abide. admonishing men Of
their errors, and leading them into all
truth. IL is wise to be reconciled TO
0ch powers rs these; even now while
you are in the way with them make
aerms Of peace, and find rest TO your
soula'-W. ID. L Sueur in Popular
