Rear shooting In Thibet.

As I drew near ! saw q large bear
standing in the river feeding on the
carcass of q yak. Taking gun from
one of nv men fred at it breaking its
shoulder. When my men saw what l
had shot at they turned and beat q
hasty retreat, shouting to me to run,
that the wild man" might not devour
me. Another shot, better aimed, put
an end to the bear, but not to the
fright to my Mongols. who even then
would not approach Our failure to
skin my prize nearly broke my Tientsin
servants heart, for by it he lost the
chance to secure the gall, a much
valued medicine in China, and worth
eight or ten ounces of silver in any
drug shop. Mongols and Thibetans at
tack bear only when they are strong.
well-arued party. My having killed
one of these dreaded monsters alone
seemed feat of great daring, and the
story was told to every Thibetan we met
afterward as proof positive of my
dauntless courage.-W. Woodville Rock

Silk I.ambrequins.

Mantel lambrequins are now quite
generally made of China silk. A scarf,
three or even four yards long is simply
hemmed ut the short ends. the entire
width being used of course, and the
sides may or may not have fringe or
tassels extending the whole length.
This is draped according to the shape
of the mantel. sometimes the long ends
reaching to the floor. and may be held
in place by bric-a-brac. II is easily re-
moved when sweeping day comes, and
is far more artistic than the stiff felts
and pushes of past seasons unless one
wishes to furnish a grand parlor. Care
must be taken in selecting the colors OF
a lambrequin. In a room diversified
by variety of color. a plain silk which
harmonizes with paper and carpet and
is not too vague in tone, is a good
choice. A plain pongee. lightly paint
ed in chestnut browns, makes a pretty
drapery. With a plain paper. the hg
ured silks are more effective. Silk
aline, which is a lovely imitation o.
China silk in cotton and comes in
great variety of colors and patterns
though not in solid colors. may be hat
for ten or fifteen cents yard at any o
the large dry goods houses. and is al
excellent substitute for silk draperies

Germany has lately fallen into bad shape o"'V
after the Franco German War it developed hhe-
ly. The Germans, from loosely hung league
of Jealous States, suddenly became nation
welded together by the closest ties and decided
" less agreeaby disposed toward their neigh
bors than toward America. This gave us a good
opportunity, and for about five years it was
we'll employed. Under the Bismarckian policy
however, protection was soon accorded to Ter
man industries especially in those lines OF pro-
duction where we had been diligent importers
In ten years Germany became leading manu-
featuring country and our commerce was sadly
injured.
The balance OF trade to-day is largely
against us. We still do a large business in
cotton. dye-wood extracts, corn, petroleum.
tlirpentinc. tobacco, fresh beef and lard but our
share in such products as rice, wheat, rye, oats,
lumber and coal is altogether insignificant, and
we are not obtaining for our machinery and
other manufactures anything like the business
that more agreeable relations might develop.
There is certainly large opportunity in this
situation for trade convention facilitating in
tercourse, especially in view of our late enact
ment admitting German sugar free, and we shall
hope to see the proclamation by which the pro-
hibition is lifted from our meat products accom-
panied by larger and wider arrangement look
ing to the restoration of the profitable relations
that existed in 1873.

p T.. BARNCM.

The death of p. Il. Barnum ends unique
career. and no similar combination OF traits and
talents survives 10 compete with MS memory
1t is probably safe to say that not more IMAM
half a dozen persons now living, including
reipning soyereigns are known by name to so
MANY millions of their fellow-beings as was
Barnum. II is an extraordinary TACT tnat MS
fame was cumulative to the last. Inc spec
tacular vacations are constantly producing stars
of magnitude and brilliancy, but as rule they
"have their day and cease to be" before the
earth is generally aware OF the portent. Inc
veteran who now rests from his labors was more
than man, he was an institution. lie was ap-
prehended intuitively. Babies who couldn't be
expected to know that Washington was the
Father of his Country or that Columbus dis
covered America were able to grasp the con-
ception Of Barnum and his place In the order
Of existence.
The cOnperies that went by his name was In
reality not merely the greatest, but the only
greatest show on earth. The grammar and logic
of this historic pronunciamento are not 700 ue-
fective to express a solid fact. Every Snowman
has the preScriphve right to herald his aggrega-
ton as the greatest of its kind and OF all KINDS,
but Barnum's title to the discriminating prefix
was universally acknowledged 1t is not essen
tia indeed it is scarcely decent, to inquire with
mathematical nicely into all the mysteries Of the
business The gyascutus having once got loose
was never recaptured and no mermaid was
ever laid on the dissecting table, But 1t is
evidence of a weak intellect to be able to take
nothing for granted in this world and the next.
It is sufficient to say that the only question in
the minds of those who went to the show was
whether they got too much or just enough for
their money.
MIR. Barnum's energy was exhaustless and his
pluck indomitable. lie lost several fortunes,
but he was never within hailing distance of ruin
sor despair His faith in himself was profound
and his delight in his own achievements was so
ingenious as to be perpetually refreshing and
delightful. lie was genial tender-hearted, pub
lic-spir1ved, benevolent good man and good
citizen. He dffused incalculable sum oil
pleasure, and in so doing he made nobody hap
pier than himself lie will be sincerely mourned
and missed
