FOR q bear lie this bare lie from
Ell Paso Tribune will bear to rely on,
barely:
A Houston woman wandered out
two or three miles from the city, and
was chased by a bear. During her
flight her hat flew off, which the
bear stopped to tear in pieces. This
gave the " oman an idea. First one
article of her clothing and then an
other she threw to the bear, as she
sailed homeward, which met the
same fate as the hat. The lady es-
capped; but when she got there, her
form was bare; policeman took her
in and how she did switzerland
the men did stare. She made q bare
es cape in about three different senses.

Can We Have Virtue without Religion

But if morality has hitherto been
based on religion there must be rea'
son to fear that the foundation being
withdrawn the suprestructure will
fall. That morality has hitherto
been based largely on religion, so
far at least as the great majority OF
mankind ara concerned, will hardly
be doubted, however wanting in de-
fniteness or vividness the notions
of moral governor and of retribu-
ton in many minds may have been,
and however men may have sacrif-
ced TO immediate impulse that which
on serious appeal they would have
acknowledged to be their real good.
"Virture,' says Paley, in bis clear
and decisive way, sis the doing good
to mankind in obedience to the will
of God and for the sake of everlast
ing happiness" So surely thought
even the men of the world in Paley's
day. All but the members OF the
Hell-fire Club-and perhaps even
they--would haye,said, LET me die
the death Of the righteous, and let
my last end be like this" Besides,
such genuine Christian characters as
there were exerted an influence be-
You'd themselves as practical war
rants for the observance of Christ
ians morality and pledges of the
happiness attending it.
The presence OF the theistic sane
ton has been especially apparent in
all acts ana lives of heroic self sacri-
fee or self devotion. The man who
has led a forlorn hope, take an oar
in life boat, risked his own life to
save the lives of others, or give up
all his personal enjoyments to the
service of his kind, if he has not de-
| finitely placed before himself the APP
probation of God and reward in
Heaven, has felt assured that in los
| ing his life he saves it, and that it
would be we'll for him in the sum of
things; an assurance which emplied
the existence of supreme moral
power. We are told that acts of he
role self-sacrifce and .self-devotion
will become Of less consequence to
mankind when all is regulated by a
scientific sociology. It may be so,
but hitherto humanity could hardly
have advanced without them.-Prof.
/ Gold,cin Smih IN the April Forum.

The Money In Patents,

IF you want to lose or make a
fortune in day, just go into the
business of the inventor. 1t is bet
ter than lottery, for you stand a
chance Of winning once in while.
Tae man who invented the hook now
in use on the tops of shoes was a
Missouri shoemaker. He got $3.50
for his invention, but the man that
bought it made $4,000 out of it.

toy for children, the rebounding ball,
now almost forgotten by tue frickle
youngsters, cleared $l25 900 out OF
his patent, while the Chestnut bell

more, but number Of firms manu-.

The CONGREGATION LEFT The
CHURcH.-In the absence from the
city Sunday, of Rev. j. r. ]. Milf
gan, the regular pastor Of the Ale
gheny (Pa Reformed Presbyterian
Church, Prof. d. B. Wilson, of the
Allegheny Theological Seminary,
was assigned to FIJI his place. When
he appeared in the pulpit to conduct
the services almost the entire con-
gregation arose and left the church.
Less than score of members re-
manned seated. Professor Wilson
delivered his sermon without COM
ment. The trouble is the outgrowth
of the recent heresy trials, OF Which
Professor Wilson was the prosecu-
tor. Among the young ministers
suspended for heretical uttsrances
was Rev. j. r. j. Milligan. His
congregation stood by him, however,
and when the attempt was made to
fill the pulpit with his prosecutor
the members quietly and without
apparently concerted action with
drew. Another of the suspended
divines, Rev. o. B. Milligan, has
decided to connect himself with the
Presbyterian Church, and on Sun
day accepted a call from the Second
Presbyterian Church of Oil City.

From the Farm 10 the Observatory.

Ny birthp ace was in the northern
part of Nova Scotia, and the sur
round ings OF my childhood and
youth ware sue b as deeply % tirge
the economic views of latter years.
People lived there much as the set
tiers of New England lived hefoie
the Revolution. Tie children of all
but the rich went barefoot in sum-
mer, and, except the rare and costly
Sunday suit, nearly every family
had to make its own clothes. The
men and boys titled the ground, or
cut and sawed lumber for transpor-
tation to more favored climes the
wcmen and girls sheared the sheep,
carded the wool, spun the yarn, wove
the homcspun cloth, and made the
clothes. Partly from neces-
ity, partly from fear of overstudy
and desire to strengthen my bodily
constitution, about half my time from
the age of eight to that Of sixteen
was spent in working on farms. The
more intelligent of the farmers gen.
orally had two or three books, which
there were occasional opportunities
OF reading by the light of the blaz-
ing fire in winter evenings. =.
Up to the age of twelve the laws of
nature remained mystry to me.
About that time | remember once
asking my father what light was, and
why we could not see in the dark.
He tried to give me an idea OF some
thing he had read or heard on the
subject, but the question was one
which nothing IN our reading could
help to answer. He could tell about
gravitation, the names and order of
the planets, history and navigation;
but | doubt if book on natural
| philosophy had ever fallen within his
reach.-hot Simon Neiecomb an the
April Forum.

Human Bodies EIeOtroplated.

A French doctor wants to intro
duce his patent process in preserv-
ing the remains of the dead. 1t IS
not embalming them, nor yet mum
mifying them, though the bodies
must be embalmed before the doc
tors new process takes hold of them.
The new idea is to electroplate the
whole body, and thus preserve to
posterity the noble Iueaments of
those whose estates cut up sufficient
ly well to allow the expense. First
the body is embalmed, after which
it is dipped into bath of nitrate OF
silver.
1t comes from this bath the color
of polished silver After that the
face is subjected to regular electro
plating dip, and comes out FURNISHED
copper, ready to be preserved to the
latest generations. In order to in
sure perfect success, the face is var
nished, and this is the last operation.
The FURNISHED copper face is then
warranted to remain the same for
centuries if treated with reasonably
fair care. This opens Up great Wis,
tas for old families.
They can preserve to the latest day
the FURNISHED countenance or the
hodcarrier, saloonkeeper or tailor
who was the distinguished founder
of their noble line. Brazen checks
can be transformed into copper
ones. Along With the family spoons,
grandmother's corner cupboard aud
other relics, the old mans copper
bottomed face can be kept thing oil
beauty and a joy forever. All the
race can have ccpperp plated ancestors
by and by.-Jeloeler's Catalogue.

He Deserved a Prize.

A farmer driving mulish looking
horse attached to an old-time "carry
all" came to town. His horse stop
ped in front of a corner drug store
and refused to 60 on.
The farmer urged the animal and
then proceeded to beat him with
rope, but without avail. OF course,
hundreds of men came up and offer
ed advice, A baked horse is, per-
haps, more fruitful of suggestions
than anything else can hope to be.
One man told the farmer to twist
his tail; and another said bundle
of fodder held before his eyes would
have the desired effect. After awhile
the farmer turned to a quiet man
standing on the edge of the side
walk and asked;
"What have you got to say ?"

The Paradise Fish.

The paradise fish, like the German
canary, is product of cultivation,
as there is no place where it is found
in wild state. 1t is . native of
China. There they are cultivated
and kept in aquaria as ornamental
fish only. The male is the larger of
the two sexes, measuring, full grown,
from the mouth TO the end of the
caudal fin, three and a half inches.
The body is shaped very much like
that Of the pumpkin seed sunfsh.
It's colors surpass in brillisncy any
fish heretofore cultivated for the
aquarium.
The head is ashy gray, mottled
with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurine blue, bordered with bril-
liant crimson. The eyes were yell
low and red, with black pupil. The
sides of the body and the crescent
shaped caudal fin are deep crimson
the former having ten or twelve blue
stripes, while the latter is bordered
with blue.
The under surface Of the body is
continually changing color-soms.
times it is white, at others gray or
black. The dorsal and anal fins are
remarkably large, hence the generic
name of the fish-macro, large; po-
dus. the foot or fin. Both fins are
shaped alike. They are striped and
dotted with brown and bordered
with blue. The dull-colored ventral
fms, are protected by brilliant scar
let-colored spine, extending three
fourths OF an inch behind the fms
The pectorials, situated directly
above the ventral fms, are well shap-
ed, but, being transparent, show nc
color.
All these colors above described
are most brilliant when the fish is ex.
cited. For instance when engaged
in combat for the possession of fe.
male fish, or when counting, be
shows the most brilliant colors, in
order to attract the attention of his
lady-Iove, she being fond of bright
colors. NATURES Realm.

DEEDS, GOOD AND BAD.
Their NANTES were white, and their BAN

Their step was slow, but their step was
true;
Each plume was of snow, of silver each
shield,
While swift at their touch all evil must
yield.
But their names, their names are not hard

For they come from the land where all is
well
Their chargers we're black, and their he'll.

Silent, yet swift as the wind they had
