Tho booksellers shops were not stuffed

gained by conyersing with mon, not by

of the men with tho woman, though less
reserved than at present, was to the
full as pure. They would walk together
for hours or travell on horseback or in "a
chalse without any imputation Of impru-
denco. The parents had no concern
when an admirer was their guide"
These remarks look strange when
contrasted with tho foregoing observa-

How tho Celebrated Nov~list's Presence Of
Mind Saved Ills Life.
An incident is related about the cole
brated writer, Count Tolstoi, which
nearly cost him his life. He went out
on bear hunt with some of his friends,
and, after selecting spot which COM
manded good view OF the surrounding
grounds, some of the more experienced
hunters suggested that tho snow had
better be trampled down so that 10
would be easier for them to move about
and get out OF bruins way and have
time enough to take shot at him If be
should come upon them unexpectedly
The Count however,. although up to
his waist in the snow, objected to this
and said that it was entirely unneces-
sary, since the whole thing consisted OF
shooting the bear and not wrestling with
him.
They did not have to wait long, for
the bear, which had just risen from it's
lair, was walking along to get out of tho
way of the hunters when it suddenly
stepped out into tho open space directly
in front of Tolstoi.

ball, for some reason or other, went

before ho was able to realize it Just
as tho bear came close enough to him he
dropped down, and of course the bear
went right over his body. Tolstoi's
whole body sunk into tho deep snow,
and the only part that remained exposed
was his head, which the bear tackled as
soon as ho had recovered from his sur
prise in seeing Tolstoi disappear SO sud

Tolstoi did his best to push his head
down as low as possible, and elevated
his fur cap for the bear to bite Twice
