Mrs, Huse and the Rear

In the History of Henniker," New
Hampshire, it is related that Mr. Moses
Huse set off with friend on bear hunt
one autumn morning to be gone for the
day. A little before shutdown Mrs. Huse
began her preparations for supper against
the time of the hunters return. In those
early days few houses had cellars under
meath; but potato hole was dug near the
dwelling and covered over during the win
ter with sods or thatch. In this hole the
seasons vegetables were stored.
Mrs. Huse handed a pan to her little
girl, and babe her go out to the cellar hole
and getsome vegetables. The child obeyed,
but soon ran in, saying that she had heard
noise in the leaves and was afraid. Her
mother assured her there was nothing to
be afraid of, and sent her back, but the lit
tie girl soon returned with the same story,
when the mother said impatiently, "Wall,
you stay here, an I'll go myself"
AS Mrs. Huse neared the potato hole she
heard the noise which had alarmed the
child Upon going nearer she espied q bear
digging in the leaves for acorns.
She Immediately gave chase, picking up,
as she ran, huge pine knot, with train
as long as yer arm," she said afterward,
and came up with bruin just as he had
begun the ascent of tree.
Mrs. Huse was of Indian descent; of
wiry, powerful muscle. She had often
taken her end of the log in clearing the
land, and now, equal to the emergency,
she dealt the bear heavy blow with the
knot, which broke his back and he fell to
the ground. She quickly dispatched him,
dragged him to the house and dressed him
When Mr. HuSe and his courede ra
turned, the woman was cooking bear
steak for supper. They were much aston
ished, and asked where she obtained the
meat. She told them, and added, in her
quaint dialect, "When he failed from the
tree, damned on, did; and 1 killed him,
did, didP'
The energetic woman had beaten the
hunters, whose search for bears had been
fruitless and who had returned without
game of any sort.

A Tutor who Maintained His Dignity.

A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity.
DR.. Chalmers always had a high sense of
personal dignity. When p young man he
was engaged as tutor in a private family.
His young lady pupils resented his strict
ness, and the mother foolishly took sides
with her daughters. In petty spite, when
company was invited to the house, young
Chalmers was shut out from the table and
dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the treat
ment, but when it was attempted again he
told the servant he had ordered dinner at
neighboring town and should need moth
ing When this had been done a few times
an explosion came. The master of the
house called Chalmers to account for in
sulting his family. Chalmers replied that
he had been insulted by Punishment from
the table. The young teacher conquered,
and ever after held his place as one of the
family at all social gatherings.-New York

accidentally changed Goblin City, Colo, to

Will the Earth's Motion Cease9

Is the motion of our earth and Other
planetary bodies perpetual? A super.
fetal survey OF the field would convey
the impression that such motion will
continue forever. The earth with its
mass of 100000. 900. 600. 900 tons for
q long time detied all attempts to de.
tant ifs lnas of speed hut with the fric.
ton OF the tides continually at work 1t
was shown that such loss must take
place. and now it is pretty certain
from calculations of Prof. Adams and
others that the earth loses about an
hour every 10000 years and is slowly
but surely coming to standstill. The
experiments aud Investigations OF
modern scientists are proving. what
Sir Isaac Newton believed. that the
motions of all bodies in space are suf-
fering retardation and that their veloc-
ity is becoming less and less and will
ultimately cease altogether. Then the
whole planetary system will fall
through space everlasting!

opposite side Of the car. 1t was q
negro girl Of about IS. She was as
black as coal, and gorgeously arrayed
in bright red cashmere, short enough
to display red stockings and scarlet
kid slippers. On her short, crisp curls
rested q iez and q scarf of the same
tcrrid hue was folded about her shoul-
ders. Her big eyes rolled about in
delight, both at her costume and the
notice she invited. just beside her
sat quietly dressed and refined-look-
ing young lady. ! was so curious
about this pretty and fanciiully at
tired young negress that at last ]
leaned over and spoke to her. You
can fancy my establishment when the
young lady leaned over and said to me:
"She can't speak English yet. She
is from Cuba

shown itself on my face for the young
