HEB PITY.

This IN the room to which she came that day
Came. when the dusk was falling cold and
gray
Came with soft step. In delicate array.
And sat beside me in the frelight there
And, like a rose of perfume rich and rare,
Thrilled with her sweetness the environtng air
We heard the grind OF traffic in the street
The clanorous calls-ths sound OF pAssina
feet
The wall of bells that In the twilight beatI
Then knelt down. and dared to touch hei
hand
Those slender fingers. and the shining band
OF happy gold wherewith her wrist wa
spanned;
Oh, thought by which despair Is half eonsOled
That slender hand lay once within nay hold.
And round my own felt her fingers fold
Her radiant beauty made nay heart reioices
And then she spoke. and her low, plying v0ios
Was like the soft, pathetic, tender noise
OF winds that come before a summer rains
Once leaped the blood in every eiAnOroui
vein
Once lesped Eay heart, then dumb stood EtiE
again.

A Bull Kills a Bear.

Although two men were at work cut
ting underbrush within few rods of the
spot, bear invaded field on William
Barker's farm near Galeton, one day
recently, his intention plainly being to
capture one of the sheep that were
pasturing in the field. Barker, who was
one of the men cutting brush, saw the
bear, and hurried the other man to the
house to get Barker's gun. Barker him
self started on run for the pasture for
the purpose of protecting his sheep from
the bear, but neither the gun nor the
presence of Barker was necessary. Be-
sides the sheep some COWS and two
year-old Jersey bull were pasturing in
the field. The bull no sooner saw the
bear edging and slouching along toward
the sheep than he charged upon
him, and caught him with his horns
square in the side. The bear did not
have time to defend himself, the bulls
rush was so quick and sudden, and he
was lifted clear off the ground, and
thrown several feet, falling heavily to
the ground. The bear quickly regained
his feet, and not relishing the reception
he had met with in the pasture started to
run away. But the bull followed him
like tornado, and struck the bear again
at full headway, tumbling bruin heels
over head.
The bear made up his mind to fight,
and got on his feet before the bull
charged ON him again. He received the
bull this time standing on his hind feet.
Both of the bulls horns penetrated the
bears breast their full length, and at the
same instant the bear sank claw in
each of the bulls shoulders. The bear
ripped the flesh from the bull in long,
deep strips on each side, but the bulls
horns were in the bears vitals, and bruin
fell to the ground and died almost in
stantly. Allthis occurred while Barker
was running to the scene, and before the
hired man had reached the after the gun.
The injuries the bull received were not
serious. The bear was u very large one,
and is believed to have been the one that
has been stealing sheep and pigs in the
vicinity for several weeks New York

Startling Statistics.

At the Hygienic and Demographic
Congress Mr.. John Coode presented some
statistics respecting the metropolis which
were startling even to the most enthusias-
tic Londoner, observes the Tit Bits.
For instance, he says that the population
of London greatly exceeds the combined
population of fourof the largest European
capitals, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Rome.
If the metropolitan highways were formed
into one continuous line people could
walk along it from London to Lands
End and thence across the Atlantic Ocean
to the mouth of the st. Lawrence, or in
the opposite direction could cross Europe
and drop into Asia far beyond the Ural
Mountains.
He afirms that every Londoneri is daily
supplied with nearly twenty-five gallons
of water conveyed through pipes of
united length Of 4, 760miles. The London
sewers measure about eighty miles in
length. The mortality of the metropolis
has decreased from 80 per thousand in
1880 to 1913 per thousand in 1890.

A new Use for foxes has been found
in Sable Island, which has eXempli-
fed in its time several curious vicissi-
tudes of animal population. The
island is as overstocked with rabbits
as New Zealand itself. These ami
mails were introduced at the begin
nlng of the century for the benefit of
the life-saving staff which constitutes
the whole population of that wreck
strewn island. Once the rabbits were
eXterminated by cast-away rats, and
again by a flock of Arctic owls. A
third time the rabbits were intro
duced, and now have so increased
that there Will be no grass left for
cattle and ponies unless something Is
done. 1t has now been decided to
import a number of foxes, with the
hope that they will keep down or kill
off the rabbits without themselves
becoming a nuisance.

The Black Walnut as a Shade Tree.

The planting of black walnut trees
around ones house, with the double
object of shade and profit from the nuts,
is not advised. While they are easily
propagated from the nuts if planted be-
fore they have become dry and bear
abundantly in few years, they make
undesirable shade trees, for the reason
of their liability to be infested with
caterpillars. Then the nuts are by no
means popular as marketable com
modify and the limited demand there
may be for them in towns is always fully
supplied at low prices from the trees
found growing alongside the roadsidcs
and in the fields and forest. In certain
cases raising them for timber may be
profitable, and where that is contemplated
it is best to plant the nuts in the fall
where the trees are to stand, otherwise
they must be preserved in II moist con-
dition until spring. This may be done
by burying them few inches below the
surface OF the ground soon after they
have fallen from the trees, or at least be-
fore they have been kept in a dry con-
dition so long that the seeds will not
germinate.- New York World.

The Treatment of Dogs.

In reference to the number of valuable
dogs that have died during the past year,
James Watson, kennel editor of Outing,
says: "The sooner American owners
recognize the fact that dogs are just as
much in need of pleasure and comfort as
they are themselves the betterit will he
for the health and longevity of their
dogs. Men without love for dogs and
who simply go into the business for what
pecuniary gain they think is in it cannot,
perhaps, understand that dogs are intel
ligent, thinking animals, and it is little
wonder that, not being treated in a
rational manner, they succumb to disease.
Confinement without companionship is
as rksome to dogs as to human beings,
and they are bound to suffer from it
bodily as well as mentally. Treat your
dogs as you would yourself be treated and
they will live long and die happy

Water-Tight Cars.

The Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has put in service line ofimproved
ventilated refrigerator cars designed ex-
pressly for their service for transporting
tropical fruits, strawberries and other
delicate fruits and vegetables, also perish
able merchandise of all descriptions.
This car has been designed and built at a
great expense and all the Improvements
are covered by patents. The Cur has
ventilated end doors that may be partly
ventilated or the insulated doors may be
shifted clear of the openings, same as the
side doors. The cars may be loaded and
given as much ventilation as required,
and should there be any atmospheric
changes that would endanger the goods
by frost, the doors may be sealed
absolutely water-tight, if necessary,
without breaking the seals on the car.
This is an important consideration that
cannot be overlooked when goods are
consigned from hot to cold climate or
vice versa, and at the same time it allows
the shippers TO regulate the temperature
and ventilation to suit their own ideas

New System of Water Storage.

In Antelope Valley, Los Angeles
County, Cal, system of water storage
has been adopted which will probably be
initiated in other counties. The water
will be used for cultivating the fertile
lands in the valley as well as for develop
ing placer mines which are found in
belt ten miles wide by forty miles long.
Near Bakersville, in Kern County, water
in large irrigating ditch is to be used
for running woollen mill. After it has
served this purpose, it will be returned
to the regular irrigating channels. These
two schemes are noteworthy as showing
the Importance of flowing water in manu-
features in State like California where
coal is costly.-[New York Tribune.

The Wages of Superstition.

To kiss tho black stone which, accord
ing to alltrue believers, fell from heaven,
and to drink from the well Zemzen, the
waters of which are daily rsplenished
from the fountains of Paradise, are the
main objects of the 100000 pilgrims or
so who annually visit Mecca. In
fortunately, those who are responsible
for the health and good government of
the Holy City make no manner of pro-
vision for the periodical influx of the de-
voices, eho have to herd like cattle in
the fields and open streets. In spite of
the presence of the holy well the water is
filthy and thousands of pilgrims who
reach Mecca in good health either perish
there or return with the seeds of disease
and death in their frames. AS far as the
pilgrims from Bombay are concerned
twenty to fifty per cent. of those who
leave the port for Mecca never return.
In tho year (1SSS) out of 1870 who
sailed from Bombay 1856 were reported
missing They had, in fact, either
died at Mecca or on board the pilgrim
ships. During the past six years, out of
64,63S true believers dispatched from
Bombay to the Red Sea upwards of
$4,000 persisted. London Lancet.

with soft choux of satin-stem green,

and slender black ostrich tips. The low,
smooth crown is of black velvet banded
with black satin ribbon, and bright choux
are set low atthe back
AT present there is no indication of
skirts being made shorter in the back.

Just as long as the three quar-

prevail.
A competent authority on dress de-
clares that the coloring of gown should
always harmonize with the hair, that the
latter is always the keynote of the whole
arrangement and whatever blends agree
ably with its tints is sure TO be becom-
ing.
Added basques are open in the back as
they are in the front. This has good
effect when they part at the point of the
panel in some different fabric introduced
in the immediate back; but when the
corsage is plain it presents an unnatural
and inartistic effect.
Some of the new princesse dresses are
made with the waist portion buttoned di
agonally, the buttoning extending down
the entire length of the skirt on the left
side. The edge which laps is sometimes
finished with u very narrow roll of fur,
or is cut into tabs or points, with u hand
some button in each point,
The latest importations from Worth
shown by leading modistes are visiting
dresses of silk trimmed with cloth in
most original fashion. The gowns are of
the satn-striped silks or moires that rival
flower brocades this season, and the
cloth is used for hounce instead of lace
and also for coat skirts bretelles or FL
garo jacket or as side forms on princcsse
gowns.
The daintiest at home dress of the sea-
son is pale gray crepon with a fes-
tooned flounce of white Mechlin lace
about the bottom, gathered to u beading
run with blue velvet ribbons. The long

at the finish of the neck which falls in
deep epaulets on the shoulder, and tapers
to the edge of the coat. Beneath this
coat is folded surplice-like bodice of
pale blue velvet ending in long sash at
one side of the front. The sash is lined
with blue satin and broadens toward the
ends to about six inches in width Let
it not be understood that this delicate
creation is designed for any but bru-
nette.
