Two Kinds OF Bears.

A gentleman was making inquiries
In Russia about the method of catch.
Ing bears in that country. He was
told that pit was dug. and covered
with turf and leaves, some food plac.
ed on top. The bears easily fell into
the snare.
But" his informant added, "if
four or FIVE happen to get in together
they all get out"
"How is that ?" asked the gsetk<.
man. o.
"They form a ladder by stepping
on each others shoulders. and thus
make their escape"
"But now does the bottom one get
out ?"
"Ah ! these bears though not pos.
sessing minds and souls such as God
has given US, yet can feel gratitude,
and they won't forget the one who
has procured their liberty. Scamp.
ering off. they fetch a branch of q
tree, which they let down to their
brother, enabling him to join them, y

better than human bears we hear
about who never help anybody but
themselves.

The precocity and cute sayings of
children are frequently a source of
great amusement. When T. p.
Shonts, the general manager of the
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa railway,
was at the Palmer house a day or
two ago he received a letter from
home. and a certain portion of it he
read to Frank Brobst, the clerk of
the hotel. This portion was about
Mr.. Shonts' little year.old daughter
Marguerite. The mothor wrote that
upon getting the child ready for bed
the usual form of saying a prayer
was undergone. Marguerite had got
through all right with the "God bless
Marguerite and make her good girl;
God bless mamma and make her good
so she wont spank Marguerite God
bless papa and make -" When she
had got thus far she stopped, hesitate
ed moment. then getting off her
knees said very soemnly to her
mother II DIES it amt worth while

The Rev. w. Haslam, one day, in
the course of conversation with cIer-
s2yman, remarked: "You have been
praying for an outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. Now, If the Holy Spirit did
settle on your church, and some of
your congregation began to make
evident Manifestations of it, what
would you d0?" "Turn them all
out" was his quick response, turn
them all out at once would not have
any fanatics in our church." Such is
the attitude of many Christian
churches in this day. They pray for
what they do not wish, and which,
If they did obtain, they would get
rid of as quickly as possible. With
them Christianity is fast becoming a
mere ceremonial. 1t is not this cere.
monialism we would offer sinners.
but living. risen, glorious Saviour.

Swallow a RattIesnake's Heart.

ELLENvILLE, N. Y, May 3d.
While number of residents of this
village were discussing the question
whether consumption could be cured
or not. one of them made the follow
ing extraordinary statement:
II am positive from an experience
of my own, that the dread disease can
be cured. When 1 was about twenty
years old 1 suffered from consump.
ton in its very worst form. One day
an old man said to me-'if you will
swallow a rattlesnake's heart you
will be cured
II was inclined at first not to try
the old mans cure. but as grew
more weak could not get the strange
remedy for my disease out of mind
and began to wish that could find a
rattlesnake. Soon a teamster from
one of the tanneries came by our
house and / heard him say to my
father, Il just killed big rattler.' l
asked the man where he had left it.
On learning the location I ran eager
~ to the spot on the hillside and soon
saw what to most people would have
been a repulsive object, but to me, at
that time seemed literal fountain of
youth. 1 took the RATHER home and i,
with the excuse that wanted the fat
and oil from the reptile. induced my
father to skin it. He did so, and as
soon as he cut open the snake 1
watched anxiously for the heart.
Soon I had it In my hands and I was
trembling with emotion. 1 gazed
upon the little, quivering, dark .look-
ing object in my palm and handled
it as lovingly as young lady would
a costly pearl,
"While was fondling it I said,
Father. that looks good enough to
eat.' Not having the remotest idea
of my intention, father said. at
does. that's a fact At that moment
1 clapped the little heart into my
mouth and swallowed it at one gulp.
1.-THE rattler's heart, as it entered
my stomach, gave me a peculiar
thrill. and I took but little notice OF
my fathers disgust and anger. From
that day l felt myself growing
stronger and better. and in less than
year I was well and hearty, and
have continued in good health to this
day."

l must tell you we do not we'll un
derstand what sanctificatiOn and the

for man to be brought to an entire

God, and to live in the offering up of

fess Christianity are unacquainted ,ex-

Not what the world says we may
do, but what we know we ought to
do. is the standard of duty for US in
our daily conduct. Yet the conflict
of conflicts in our mind is just at this
point. The world says that we may
doa great many things that we know
we ought not to do. 1t is easier to
follow the worlds council than to
adhere to our own convictions of
right. But if we do right. we shall
never have cause to regret it; where
as, if we fail to do right, we shall
never be without a cause of regret
fer our failure. And God will ap-
Prove our right doing. even though
all the world should deem us foolish

He has not learned the lesson Of

The secret of success is constancy to

question which searches men and
transpierces every false reputation.

stone mansion, and the Governor
was present at the hearing. az a spec

tor.
II am not tramp" said the pris-
oner, II am a coal miner out of a
job. and am working my way from
Pittsburg to Schuvlkill county. The
marks are signs"
"If that is the case. what do the
signs mean ?" queried the burgess.
"They might not mean anything
to gentleman like you." was the
reply, "but to every hungry man who
travels the road they are palmer than
print. They will tell him when he
comes along. whether it be to.mor-
row, next week, or next month, that
the man who lives in that house will
give a fellow a square meal for the

A QUEER VERDICT.

In the Case Of the State vs.. Kelly, the Jury
Renders Verdict Of Guilty Of an Assault
With Intentto Commit Rape.
Standing room was in demand at the
court house Monday. 1t always is
when case of rape or seduction is up
for trial. Men have such a horror of
the criminals in such cases, that they
flock to the temples of justice to hear
the lawyers roast them. If it is not
that, what is it that calls them out in
such crowds?
The case in question was tried on
the complaint of Lydia Harris, come
ly young girl of about 10, who served
as domestic in the family of ]. G..
Brasier at No. / south Commercial
street, who charged William Kelly a
young man with wife and one child.
with committing rape on her about the
middle of October. KelIy's wife was
visiting at Hartford at the time, and
he was stopping at the Brasier resi-
dence. Wanting an early breakfast on
the morning in question. he went
early to Lydia's room TO wake her. He

of her own age sleeping together, and
there, as LYDIA claims. whilet both
girls occupied the same bed, the act
was committed. at the preliminary
both girls testified to the Same line of
facts and both declared Kelly's guilt
Yesterday the Drummond girl recsnt-
ed her former evidence, admitted that
she had lied at the preliminary exami-
ton, said that there was no
rape, and commended that the
head and front of KelIy's
offending was to jerk the bed cover
so as to wake Lydia. But Lydia held
to her first story, and claimed that she
completely and shamfully outraged by
Kelly. The jury sat on tho case nearly
all of last night and returned rather
picturesque verdict this morning, find
Kelly guilty of an assault with
intent to commit rape.'' Kelly's at
torney says that the verdict is prepos-
ferrous and should and will be set aside
by the court.
