Johnny Feed, tho 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-od 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 a 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 prptruding 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

A Disease Imported from India.

The Brooklyn health department. has
found case of disease said to be rare
in this country. Its pame 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
"she sleeping sickness" In fatal cases
death generally results from exhaustion
or syncope. It 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. C.
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 Bullwinkle learned
that on May 20 the captain, H. Warus,
died at sea, and that on June 10 H. Halt
man, the first mate, died. The man at
the hospital proves to have beriberi, and
Dr.. Bullwinkle believes the other two
died from it.-Exchange.

Rorn With T.otb.

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
1t was discovered that it possessed two
large lower front teeth, which are at
least an eighth Of an inch in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are of a
pearly whiteness, and look as natural as
those of child or s years old. This is
a rare occurrence, and a 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. Cincin-

boring for honey.

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, KY. The
bluff is 40 feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about big assure
near the center Of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. As the bees had never
been robbed. it was thought large
amount of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently well borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey storehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
a number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense, and three inch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. At depth of
eighty-five feet the drill struck the
honey. According to a dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score were filled and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent to Louisville for
more receptacles Philadelphia Ledger.

M0ndcy morning at o'clock while,
the batAeg5 a. Avalon. n. j., were enjoy
ing bath in the surf. which is permitted
below the hotel MP to o'clock in the
morning. alsrgc school Of pOrpoises made
a dash up the coast Just behind the
breakers. There was over q hundred of
these slippery monsters, so hard to catch
in a net, and they never bite at any
known bait. A good sized porpoise will
devour bushel Of mossbunkers or
young drumfsh at a single meal, and
just now the surf is filled with small
drumfish feeding at food tide The man
eating shark likes the same kind of diet,
and many a 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. r7 o t-4
Suddenly, as the school Of porpoises
were tumbling eTer each other in play.
a four foot shark made dash out Of the
water, pursued by a ten foot porpoise.
The porpoise succeeded ii biting piece
out of the man-eater and made vicious
plunge at the shark in mid air, while the
sea became red with blood.
Both fish were in a 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 oution the sea, while the por-
poise, badly hurt, followed his compan-
ions up Townsend inlet.-Cor. Philadel-

Three n, Presidant.. Sons.

By a rather singular coincidence, as
the son of President Garfield departed
from a banking institution the son of
another president entered it. Neither of
the young men knew the other by sight,
and neither, of them was aware that
they were near enough to exchange
greetings had they been acquainted.
The other son Of a president was U. s.
Grant, who is leading avery quiet and
retired life in this city. He is almost
difident and shy in his dealings with
men, but he grows very greatly to re-
semble his father. Another ex-presi-
dents son lives in New York, although
be spends much Of his time in Europe.
This is young Alan Arthur, whose tastes
are social and whose requirements are
those Of a refined and cultured man of
the world, rather than in the direction
of political tastes such as distinguished
his father. New York Cor. Philadel-

A story Is going the rounds now which
would indicate every opportunity for
Sabbath school missionary work among
the members Of the house. The other
day Gambler and Grimes, Of Georgia,
got into an'argument in regard TO early
religious training. Grimes claimed that
the religious precepts taught In youth
were never forgotten, and that the cate
chism and verses of scripture then COM
mitted to memory could be repeated
years after.
"P1 tell you what I'll do, Grimes" !"
said Gambler, ''Tll bet you $40 even that
there isn't man in this house can re-
peat the ten commandments without
making mistake"
"I'1l just go You" said Grimes. "Se-
lect your men," and the money was put
up.
Mr.. Gambler said he would select Rep
resentative Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
and Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, both blue stocking Presbyte-
rians. Mr.. Breckenridge was called in
first and the bet stated. The silver
tongued orator of Kentucky studied a
moment and then said: Gentleman, /
can't repeat the Ten Commandments
without q mistake" Mr.. Wilson was
then applied to, but the college professor
was also compelled to admit that his
memory was defective on that subject.
He got even with Gambler, however, by
saying: II am willing to bet $40 that I
could have repeated any nursery rhyme,
and Gambler would not have been able
to tell the difference between it and the
Ten Commandments "-Pittsburg Com

speculation Even in Farming.

Some persons are of the opinion that
there is more or less speculation in every
BUSINESS transaction. A Long Island
farmer, the other day, carried his peas
to the Gansevoort market in this city.
He got just twenty cents bushel for
them. He had paid forty cents bushel
to farm hands for the bare cost of pick
ing them. Had this farmer arrived four
days sooner he would have got $1.25 a
bushel When he arrived the market was
well supplied by other farmers. Epoch.
