Rruin as a Pilot.

 When the bark G olden Star left the China seas bound for San Francisco she carried an unusual passenger in the shape of black bear weighing four hundred and sixty pounds. He was confined in strong wood en box, which was placed on deck aft of the captains cabin. Oue night as they were changing watch the bear pried off one of the wooden bars of the cage and got out. MT. Bruin sniffed the breeze for a moment and then began wandering about the deck. Sud denly he espied the man at the wheel. and
 without further ceremony he crawled up to him, and rising on his launches struck the Jack tar a savage blow with his huge paw. The sailor of course let go of the wheel. the ship immediately preached to and fell oil her course, the sails Tapped wildly in the wind % and the pinnacle light was extinguished in the struggle. The first officer, alarmed by the sudden lurching of the vessel, rushed on deck. Close to the wheel he perceived 6 dark form.
 ssHello, you lubber!" bawled out the mate; "what do you mean by sleeping at your post"
 Then he administered a sound kick at what he mistook for the sleeping sailor, but which, to his horror, turned out to be the bear. With snort of rage he hurled him self upon the first officer, felling him to the deck with blow of his paw. By this time l the captain and crew were all on deck, and 1 for few minutes there was pitched battle l until the bear broke away, clambered up the shrouds and perched himself comfortably ir } the crosstrees. The captain took an obser' l yation and found half the crew disabled, ths l original victim being nearly dead. Enraget at the spectacle, the captain peppered ava. l with his revolver and finally succeeded 1T l killing the bear, who fell to the deck with loud crash. When the Golden Star reached I the Sandwich Islands her sails were torn t shreds, her pinnacle broken, and she wa
 badly damaged, and all on account of tn l savage bear that tried to run the ship.

THE WELDON ACT.

The enactment of the Weldon Extradition
 bill by the Canadian parliament meets gen. eral approval on this side of the line. It is, however, pointed out that there may be difficulty about it's enforcement. Fugitive criminals when surrendered by foreign government are subject to prosecution in
 State courts. When there Is an extradition
 treaty it is the basis of local pocedure, and
 the State courts are required by the latest de-
 cisions to recognize it as the highest on the
 subject, and consequently to prosecute the
 criminal for the offence for which he has
 been surrendered, and not on any other
 charge until he has been granted an oppor-
 tunity to return to the foreign asylum. The
 Weldon act, being merely Canadian statute,
 will not have the binding force of treaty law
 in regulating the criminal procedure of State
 courts. It is regarded as at least an open
 question whether the guarantee which the
 Canadian officials will require before surren-
 dering offender for trial specific charge can be adequately enforced in the United States.
 There is no doubt that some such act ought to be passed and ought to be enforced. Says the NEW 4OEk bu6 seven years which have elapsed since the ex- tradition treaty was negotiated new class of crimes has been created by that spirit of greed which has taken possession of the American people. Old-fashioned forgers and \ robbers can be pursued to Canada or across seas and brought back to get their deserts: but defaulting bank presidents, embedding cashiers, and all the greater criminals, who | traffic in thousands or even millions of other mems money, and cover their rascality and | betrayals of trust with swindling devices and I reckless gambling, successfully evade by a | single nights journey the penalties of out ! ragged law. The Weldon act makes no dis | tinction between the poor, despicable thief | and embezzlers who have been rich and ex ! travagant and far more dishonest and cul \ r-ll-. --f----l sA---:i1 L---I ! I- abolish false distinctions between the socia
 standing and previous condition of thieves ol ! high and low degree. This will be a most salutary result. What is needed is extradi. ton practice grounded upon the Eighth Com mandment, the shortest and plainest of ths ! whole Decalogue.

P0KER STORY. How They Work the Great Statesmen of Minuesota,
rErou tba a1innsan,,;s Tr;bune

From the Minneapolis Tribune.l
 1T can tell you poker story that did not come out during the poodle investigation, although it had something to do with boo dle," said member of the third house to a Tribune reporter yesterday. ''It is true story, and took place few days before the Senatorial caucus" went on the speaker.
 'There was one member of the house who, it was thought, could be influenced if proper ly approached. He could not be bought, but he had not declared himself, and it was said that whichever side could make the most favorable impression would catch his vote So committee of three was appoint ed by one set of the managers to devise ways and means of making favorable impress. ion.
 "sCome up to room No- tonight , one of the three said to the member, 'and we'll crack bottle.'
 "The member declared himself in with the small bottle and was on hand promptly. The committee of three was on hand and 8 small bottle was cracked in short order. Then 1t was proposed that the party indulge in little game of poker. The member said he didn't understand the game. The conn., mittee of three assured him that they could easily explain the points so that he could play all right. It was a simple game, something like casino, and it was usual to put up dollar or on the results of the hands, just to make it interesting.
 "The member sat into the game. He was honest in his statement that he did not know the points He didn't know jack pot from jack knife, and on the first hand he discarded one of the three ten spots in the hope of drawing the ten of diamonds, which he thought counted as the big casino. He would have been easy game, but there was no intention of heecing him. He was allowed to come in on every hand before a bet was made If he held two treys and rashly bet blue chips, the others laid down and he raked in the ante. His chips aecum- ulated and he professed to be in love with the game. The crisis came on what proved to be the last hand. The member held three fves and was willing to bet big money. The size of the pot grew to very ample pros portions. One of the committee of three had five diamonds, but when it came to 8 show down he generously informed the mem Der that his three ives were good, and the member gathered in the pile. His evenings entertainment had netted him $2, ,000. No body was sore, however, and the committee of three laughed at their bad luck and com plimented the member on his shrewdness and the celerity with which he caught the intricacies of the game. He felt of the roll, &, 900. and went to his room with mental reservation that the men with whom he had spent the evening were the whitest men on earth. Not g word had been said about the Senatorial contest, but next day when two of the committee of three met him in the corridor and pressed him on the subject, with no allusion to the evenings entertain ment, he pledged himself to vote for their man, and he did 70 when the caucus came

His Last Attempt 10 Smoke.

 That learned and entertaining Greek, the Rev. Dr. George Constantine, of Athens, told me while he was in Lewiston the story of how he happened to leave off smoking.
 'T was most persistent smoker" said the doctor, Ca perfect slave to the habit. As soon as I had finished one cigar I would go and light another. Seldom was I without one in my mouth, A lady whom esteemed much upbraided me one day and secured from me promise that I would stop smok ing. But I didn't. I smoked as much as ever, only in secret
 cone day I went into the woods with eight or ten cigars in my pocket and sat down to have smoke. I had six matches, and lighted them all one by one, trying to start my cigar. Every match went out as soon as I struck it, and found myself unable to get light.
 ''I thought this was a providential hint to me. The incident really made great i'm pression on me and set me to thinking. I seemed to see myself as a third person breaking his promise and stealing out there in the woods to smoke in secret. I was so disgusted with this person that I walked home with my head hung down Oh, you don't know how disgusted I was! I was so much disgusted that held nay hands out as much as foot and wouldn't let them touch my body as I walked along! And l never have smoked since."

ART IN THE SICK ROOM. Importance of Having the Right Kind of Furniture and Deoerat. lens.

New York Home Journal
 Too little attention, says B. w. Richard son, is paid to what may very properly be called art in the sick room. In these mod ern days we do not confine to their rooms people who are sick, for the long periods common to an age of medicine which has now nearly passed away. But even at the present time we require to practice more artistic care. A sick room should always be as agreeable to the eye of the patient as it can be made, and every effort should be carried out to prevent monotony. The fur- niture should be light, easily movable, and of cheerful color; all dark haneings and somber coverings, when there, should be re placed by white or light blue or gray colored fabrics, and the walls should be of gray or light green color. Papers of faring colors, and papers which have for pattern num- Der of rings or circles of fowersof one design are extremely bad.
 remember an instance in which the ps- per of wall had for it's patterns series of circles like so many sunfowers; that paper produced in a nervous patient sense of eiddiness which lead to nausea, and had a very bad affect indeed. I thought at first that the complaint made against this paper by the patient was rather absurd, but when tried for myself the experiment of looking

Easter ssI,iFxfpr 2,

A peculiar Easter Sunday custom is still in vogue in some of the northern counties of England. On that day the men parade the
 streets with the privilege of '1ifting'' every woman they meet three times from the
 ground and demanding in payment either
 kiss or a sixpence. On Easter Monday the
 women are given the chance to recover in the same way their kisses or sixpencss.
 Chambers "Book of Days" thus alludes to
 this custom of Easter lifting" "In Lan-
 cashire, and in Cheshire, Stratfordshire and
 Warwickshire, and perhaps in other coun-
 ties, the ridiculous custom of lifting or
 sheaving' is practiced. On Easter Monday
 the men lift the women, aud on Easter Tues day the women lift or heave the men. The
 process Is performed by two lusty men or
 women joining their hands across each oth-
 CTS wrists; then, making the person to be
 heaved sit down on their arms, they lift
 them up alofr two or three times, and often carry him several yards along the street. 4 grave clergyman who happened to be pass- ing through 8 town in Lancashire on an Ess- ter Tuesday, and having to stay an hour or two at an inn, was astonished by three or four lusty women rushing into his room ex- claiming that they had come to lift him. , To lift mei' repeated the amazed divine; what can you meana' Why, your rever- enee, we're come to lift you, 'cause it's Eas- ter Tuesday, Lift me because it's Easter Tuesday. Idon't understand. Is there such
 custom herea Yes, to be sure, all us wo-
 men was lifted yesterday, and us lifts the men to-day. And in course it's our rights and duties.' After little further barley the reverend traveller compromised with his fair
 visitors for half 8 crown, and thus escaped
 the dreaded compliment"
