The Polar Bear and her young.

The female Polar bear is taught by q won
derful instinct to shelter her young under
the snow. In December she retreats to tho
side of rock where, by dint of scraping ana
letting the snow fall upon her, she forms a
cell in which to live during the winter. There
is no fear that she should be stiied for want
Of air, for the warmth of her breath always
keeps a small passage open. Within this
strange nursery she produces her young. and
remains with them beneath the snow till
March, when she comes out into the open air
with her baby bears. AS the only use OF the
snow burrow is to shelter the young the male
bears do not hibernate like the females, but
roam freely about during the winter months.
Before retiring under the snow the bear
eats enormously, SO that she becomes very
fat, thus laying in an internal store of food,
which enables her not only to support her
own life, but TO nourish her young during her
long seclusion. BY an admirable provision
of nature the young Polar bears are extreme
ly small at birth, and grow slowly so long as
they are in their crystal nursery, thus need
ing little food and space When they emerge
from their shelter the mother bear is ex-
tremely thin and very fierce Exchange

Stories OF Modjesia.
The loneliness Of Modjeskns character no
one questions. Her wonderful talent MS an
actress is Illustrated by the following atccA
aote, which was originally published in The
Rochester On. " Democrat and Chronicles:
IL was in Poland, and on the occasion OF one
Of many hunting parties. At such times, ac-
cording to custom, the ladies Joined the
gentlemen at monday at settled rendezvous.
While all were waiting for Nine. Modjeska,
who had been delayed an old peasant woman,
In clumsy sabots and with her hands rolled
up timidly in her apron came to the party
and in mournful tone related the story OF
her woes. Her only pig had been put in the
pound for trespass on another's property.
She was so persistent in her demands for aid
hat ha haOa, md
ordered the coachman to drag her away.
just as the man was about to carry out the
order the old woman threw herself into her
brother-in-law's arms and laughingly dis
closed her identity. She had completely
fooled every one in the party except her hus-
band who was In the secret, and he himself
isn't sure but that he would have been taken
In had he been ignorant Of the scheme.
A pretty story is told in connection with
one of Modjeska's appearances in Washing
ton. 1t was during Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration. 1t is a custom among actors and
actresses who appear at the capital to send
cards to the president and his wife offering
the compliments of the season, which means
a box at the theatre whenever they feel like
seeing the play. Nine Modjeska carried out
this idea and Mrs. Cleveland in reply wrote
pretty note TO the madame inviting her to
call at the executive mansion, which she did.
Mrs Cleveland received her in her private
apartment, kissed her atfectionately and told
her she was never so glad to meet any one in
her life. She said that Modjeska had always
been her favorite actress; that she had al
ways gone to see her when she was school
girl, and had saved up her pocket money for
weeks so as to do SO; that when she was in
New York shopping she went twice to the
matinee at the theatre, where Modjeska was
playing, alone, and took a scat far down by
the orchestra, keeping her veil over her face
most of the time for fear some one would
recognize her. At the conclusion of the call
Mrs Cleveland filled the carriage of the act
ress with flowers from the White House con-
servatory and asked her to call again

ATcHHoN PHILOSOPHY.

1t is human to be jealous; divine to con-
ceal il
There is great charity for poor relations;
every one has them.
We are all inclined TO distrust boy who
does not Like to play.
Keep any letter long enough, and it will
finally make you ashamed.
Only ono thing melts faster than money,
and that is the resolution not to spend it.
It may be wise to think twice before
speaking, but it is a sign that You are getting
old.
1t is the man who can light good fires who
is soonest able TO hire others to light his fires
for him
When two friends quarrel, you will find
out how much there was in their friendship
originally.
The most sacred things we have in this
world often turn out to be only varieties Of
selflshness.
An honest man win regret that he is not as
good as a woman, instead OF pretending that
he Is better.
The two things that honest people never
excuse, under any circumstances, are thiev-
cry ana lnSinceflty.
Only believe half of what you hear that
great people say only belief half of what you
hear that little people do.
When you can induce man to hold your
horse In the rain, how natural 1t is TO tarry
around the fire on the inside
1t is a cold, clammy thing to say, but those
people who treat friendship the same as any
other selfishness get most out of it.
A pup looks so mild and innocent that wo
sometimes think it will turn out better than
others Of its race, but it always turns out
dog.
The sympathies of people are always with
the unfortunate, because the people know
they are so liable to be unfortunate them
selves.
You are always saying that your friends
desert you at the time you need them most,
but they do exactly what you have been do
ing all your life. --Atchison Globe.
