Johnny Feeds the Bear.

There was Sunday school excursion
from Wilmington to the Geological gar
dens recently, and one Of the happiest
boys in the party was 12-year-old John
Conway. 1t was his first visit, and he
took in the sights with open eyed Won
der. He fed the elephants his last cake,
spent his final nickel for peanuts to
throw to the prairie dogs, and he fairly
hubbled over with excitement when he
reached the bear pits and looked down
at the funny antics of the animals.
Seeing the open spaces on the lower
side of the pit, Johnny stole away from
his companions and took position by
which he could look through the bars.
In an evil moment the lad turned his
head TO look at something behind him,
when one of the bears caught glimpse
of his finger protruding through the
bars, and moment later the digit was
transferred to bruins stomach. The
boys screams attracted the attention of
one of the guards, and he was sent to
the German hospital for treatment

Clennatra at the Fair.

A citizen of Alexandria, Egypt, named
Alexander Tagliaferro, has written to
the Worlds fair management inclosing
a photograph of sarcophagus, which he
believes and claims to be that of Cleo
patra. He says it was recently discov-
cred in Caesars camp, near Alexandria.
After paying the Egyptian government
its dues the writer says he sold it to a
friend for speculation. When the sar-
cophagus was opened the contents fell in
ashes with the exception Of the skeleton,
which is still preserved. Mr.. Tagliaferro
says he is prompted to negotiate with
the exposition authorities from notices
which he has seen in newspapers Of the
United States announcing that the khe-
dive of Egypt has been asked by the di-
rectors of the exposition for the mummy
of Rameses. He begs to offer for sale
this sarcophagus and skeleton for the
sum of Gle, 900 sterling on the spot, the
inference being that the purchaser will
be required to pay freight. In explain
ing the features Of this tomb he states
that the five faces on three sides are posi-
lively the images of Cleopatra. Chicago

A Disease Imported from India.

The Brooklyn health department has
found case of disease said to be rare
in this country. Its name is beriberi
and its home is India. One of the char
acteristics of the disease is drowsiness,
and on the African coast it is known as
1.-The sleeping sickness" In fatal cases
death generally results from exhaustion
or syncope. 1t is not contagious in this
climate. and no danger is to be feared
from its appearance. The vehicle of its
westward journey was the ship J. G.
Warus, from Macassar, in the Dutch
East Indies, which arrived at Brooklyn
Monday. A sick man on board was
taken to the Long Island College hos
pital, and DR.. Henry Dullwinkle learned
that on May 90 the captain, H. Warus
died at sea, and that on June 10 II. Halt
man, the first mate, died. The man at
the hospital proves to have beriberi, and
DR.. Bullwinl1le believes the other two
died from it.-Exchange.

Mc,nday morning ut o'clock while,

Ing bath in the surf, which is permitted

morning. large school Of porpoises made
dash up the coast just behind tho

these slippery monsters, SO hard to catch
In a net, and they never bite at any

just now the surf is filed with small
drumfish feeding at flood tide. The man.
eating shark likes the same kind Of diet,
and many bloody conflict ensues be-
tween these robbers Of the great deep
when they meet on common feeding
ground. In front OF the hotel there Is
considerable depth Of water, and the por-
poises came so near that many OF them
could have been reached with fishing
rod.
Suddenly, as the school Of porpoises
were tulnbling over each other in play.
four foot shark L.ade dash out Of the
water, pursued by ten foot porpoise.
The porpoise succeeded in biting piece
out Of the man-eater and made n vicious
plunge at the shark in mid ai.., while the
sea became red with blood.
Both fish were in duel to the death.
Neither tried to escape The shark was
the swiftest in motion, but was an un-
equal antagonist. The porpoise would
dive under him and strike him in the
belly under water, to the great discom-
fort of the man-eater, whose jaws were
not big enough to make much impress
sion on the tough hide Of the slippery
sea hog. Three times they met in mid
air, and struck each other as two bull
elks butt each other with their antlers.
The porpoise slowly retired ten feet,
and with the swiftness Of lightning
struck the shark in the middle and rip
ped him open. The man-eater soon float
ed dead out on the sea, while the por-
poise, badly hurt, followed his compan-
ions up Townsend inlet.-Cor. Philadel-

How to Keen Fish When Caught.

The angler should take care of his fish
after he has caught them. 1t is discredit-
able TO fetch back lot of sun and wind
dried fish, all curled up and stiff. Put
handful of grass or ferns in the bottom
of the creel and kill the fish as soon as
caught by hitting them sharp blow on
the back of the head. If the weather is
hot clean the mornings catch at noon,
and every few hours dip the creel in the
stream. The best way TO keep fish to
take home is as follows: Clean them
thoroughly, taking care to remove the
gills and the blood under the backbone,
wipe dry inside and ont but do not wash
them; sprinkle them inside with black
pepper; but on no account use salt.
Pack in cool. fresh grass and keep them
in the shade. If ice is used it should be
put in tin can, or at least at the bottom
of the creel. for it spoils the flavor of
fish to have them soaking in water

BOrn with Teeth.

Some time since Mrs. Carl Kimble, of
No. A Kindel avenue, gave birth to
twins. The doctors who were in attend
ance at the birth of the babes noticed
that they were exceptionally large and
well developed. Greatly to their sur
prise, upon examining one of the twins
it was discovered that IT, possessed two
large lower front teetl. which are at
least an eighth Of an 10 h in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are Of a
pearly whiteness, and look as natural AZ
those Of child or 8 years old. This is
a rare occurrence, and similar one has
never been recorded before. There have
been cases where there was one tooth
when a single child was born, but never
before when there were twins.
