SUNDAY AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Ha Changed the Day.

The story is told of the late "Pig Iron"
Kelley that on one occasion young
woman, the daughter Of an old Pennsyl-
vanian, who had been one of Kelley's
political lieutenants, applied to him for
a position, which he promised to secure
for her the next day. On the following
morning, when the young woman called
on the judge. he had forgotten all about
her case, but upon being reminded, apol-
ogized profusely and told her to "call
tomorrow" The judge kept this up for
nearly month, when the young woman
lost her patience. On the occasion of
her last visit the judge, who was very
absentminded, did not catch her name
as the servant announced her presence
in the parlor and, walking hurriedly into
the room, shook hands with her and be-
gan the old formula.
"My dear young lady, am very busy
today; you will really have to call to-
morrow" "But, judge" she protested,
"that is what you have told me for a
month. l have come almost every day,
and you have invariably told me to call
tomorrow" II beg your pardon, am
sure" said the judge with great suavity.
"Call day after tomorrow."-San Fran
cisco ArpoDa1lt.

1t Is Rather Slow Work Now because
the Animals Are So Cautious.
Bear hunting, as a rule, do not think
would appeal to most sportsmen. It is
rather slow work, and one is often very
nadequately rewarded for the amount
Of time and trouble spent in hunting up
bruin There is hardly portion of the
mountains where there are not evidences
Of bear but do not believe that in any
locality they are especially abundant.
They have been hunted and trapped so
long that those who survive are extreme
ly cautious In my experience there is
40 animal gifted with greater amount
Of intelligence, and, in this region, the
hunters chief virtue, patience to wait
and stay in one spot, is sure to be re-
warded sooner or later with good shot.
Let me say now that the danger and
ferocity of the bear is, think, very much
overstated, yet there is just enough ele-
ment Of danger to make the pursuit of
this animal exciting, Naturalists do not
cow apparently recognize more than two
varieties Of bear in the Rocky mountains.
That is, they class the cinnamon, silver
tip and grizzly. as grizzly bear. The
other variety, of course, is the black
bear. am by no means sure that the
grizzly bear will not be further subdi-
yided after careful comparisons Of col
lections Of skulls.
Much has been said and written about
the size and weight of the grizzly bear,
and in most instances this has been mere
guess work Lewis and Clark made fire.
quent mention of this animal and yet
their estimate of the weight falls far
below that Of other writer's Only few
instances have come to my knowledge
where the weight has been ascertained
absolutely.
A good sized grizzly killed in Yellow
stone park by Wilson, the government
scout. weighed 600 pounds. Colonel
Pickett, who has neighboring ranch to
mine and who has killed more bear than
any man know of, weighed his largest,
which, II remember rightly, weighed
800 pounds. Archibald Rogers in Serb
nario

How the starfish Eats the Oyster

The starfish Is O curious animal. ItE
mouth is directly in the center, and al
most Immediately under it is the stom.
ach, while the digestive organs are in its
arms. Starfish eat oysters, but natural.
lists differ as to the precise way in which
they devour them. Ancient naturalists
believed that the stafish waited for q
moment when the oyster opened Its
valves to introduce one OF It's rays into
the opening, and having put one foot
into the domicile 1t soon put the other
four in and finished up by devourine
the native. Modern observations have
proved that this is not quite correct.
Some naturalists assert that, on OBJ.
tanning possession of the oyster, the star.
fish brings his mouth to the edge of the
shell and then with the assistance of a
fluid which its mouth secretes 1t forces
open the valves and the entrance is OBJ
tanned. Another naturalist gives diff
ferent explanation Of the transaction,
namely, that the oyster is seized by the
starfsh and held tight by its mouth;
the starfish then everts its stomach and
envelops the oyster, which forces 1t to
open its shell. However this may be, II
is clear that the starfish swallows oys.
ters in the same manner as human be-
ings.-London Tit-Bits.

AS poet, whatever comparisons may
be made with his predecessors or con-
Temperatures, at home or abroad, what
ever just criticisms may be recorded, we
belisxs it viii be found at the end that q
large part of Lowell's verse has passed
into literature, there to remain. The
originality, vitality, Intensity and beauty
Of the best of it are self evident AL
though true, spontaneous poet, his life
had other strong interests and engross-
Ing occupations. and the volume of his
verse does not equal that OF others
whose careers have extended beside his
own; his impression as "a poet upon his
time has not equaled that Of others.
1t may, indeed. be said that II as
strongly poetic in nature as they, he
would have been dominated as exclu-
sively as were they by the poetic mood.
However this may be, the quality of his
genius, as shown in his best work, was,
we believe, quite as fine as that of any
poet writing English in his day. No
one can read his last volume Of verse
without being impressed anew by the
vigor, variety and spontaneous charac-
ter of Lowell's poetic gift Even his
literary faults are of such II ure as to
testify to the keenness OF has thought
and the abundance of his intellectual
equipment. -Century.

The Proper Way to wax.

rs soon as man comes into my shop
and takes off his shoe can tell whether
or not he is good walker, and it is as.
tonishing to find how few men know the
proper way to step out. If the shoe is
worn down at the heel-not on the side,
but straight back-and the leather Of the
sole shows signs of weakness at the
ball of the foot, little greater on the
inside just below the base of the great
toe, know that the wearer is good
walker. If, however, the heel is turned
on one side, or is worn evenly through
out, and the sole is worn most near the
toe, know that have to deal with
poor pedestrian.
The reason of the difference III posi-
ton of the worn spots lies in the fact
that the poor walker walks from his
knee and the good one from his hip.
Watch the passerby on the street, and
you will at once see the difference. Nine
men out Of ten will bend the knee very
considerably in walking, stepping
straight out with both hips on the same
line, and the toe viii be the first to
strike the ground. The tenth man will
bend his knee very little, just enough to
clear the ground, and will swing the leg
from the hip, very much as the arm is
swung from the shoulder and not from
the elbow. By so doing he calls upon
the muscles which are strongest to bear
the strain, and increases the length of
his stride four or six inches.
The heel touches the ground first and
not the toe. A slight spring is given
from the ball of the foot on making
another stride. Men who walk in this
fashion cover the ground 80 per cent.
faster with the same exertion than those
who walk from the knee. In pugilism
the old rule is to strike from the shout
der and not from the elbow. In pedes-
trianism it is to walk from the hip and
not from the knee.-Interview in st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Cruelty to HOLSTERS.


1t is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling Holsters alive continues. Our
forefathers--a indeed, our PARENTS
let calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that in no other way could white
meat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next.
Now every one knows that calf can be
killed in a humane manner and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity instead of by the
old barbarous method; and, generally
speaking, animals killed for food have
been put out of the way in much more
humane manner than formerly. But
Holsters are still tortured out OF exist
ence, the only difference being that,
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
the most agony no one can say.-St
Louis Globe-D Democrat

blind New York Raeears.

A rather clever trick which is success
fully done by number Of beggars in
this city is to turn their eyeballs up until
they appear to be blind. With their eyes
in this condition they grind a small,
wheezy hand organ, or stand on some
prominent corner and hold a tin cup in
their hands, thus mutely appealing for
charity. A few of them attempt to sing,
but they soon realize that 1t is too much
to ask of mankind to listen to their sing
ing and then give them money. To do
this successfully for any length of time
Is very straining on the eyes, and may
result in genuine blindness. But some
of them have practiced it until tits i'm
possible to discover by looking at them
that they are not really blind. New
