the spring freshets of 1892, practically
as it now is and without the slightest
apprehension of being in any danger of

Woman as a ConsoIer.

The original intention in regard to
women seems that they should be
creatures of ornament and consOla-
tion. This has not been wholly car
ried out; they have had many other
things to do beside being pretty and
consoling. But for both Of these they
have had large opportunities In
times like the present, when men are
harassed and troubled over their
affairs, women can do much that no
one else can do. They can refrain
from troubling on their own part;
they can put aside their own annoy
ances; they can see that the house is
cool and comfortable, that the table
is well and not extravagantly served;
they can present cheerful front and
soothe or divert as the indications

Where Farming Is Not Dull.

tion was attracted by a violent COM

pieces. Mr.. Sherwood yelled Justify
and attempted to drive the brute
away with club, but bruin was not
to be robbed of his supper of fresh
veal, and he advanced threateningIy
toward the disturber of his repast.
Mr.. Sherwood was unarmed and did
net stand upon the order of his going,
but trusted to the lightness of his
heels to increase the distance between
bruin and himself in as short time
as possible He procured his rife
and returned to the pasture, and with
a few well directed shots the bear-a
very large male-was quickly dis
patched. The calf was so badly torn
that it had to be killed. Mr.. Sher-

went out and before he came back he

Origin of the Polka.

Sixty years ago, an Austrian COCA,
finding herself dull in her kitchen,
sang and danced in there for her own
amusement. The cooks mistress
having surprised her during the i'm
prom ptu dance, she was requested to
dance and sing in the presence of the
composer, Joseph Neruda, who took
notes of the performance. The polka
passed into Prague, then to Mienna,
and plenty of animated music was
soon written.
But the real polka mania did not
break out in Paris till the year 1914,
when it was danced with great sue.
cess by a select few at the Sale
Valentino, in the premises which in
due course were occupied by the Nou-
veau Cirque Crowds used to assemble
round the dancers to admire the diff
ferent pretty figures which composed
the true polka, which was then &C
quired with difficulty, and was not
the simple, close, and rushing dance
at present known by that name.
So popular was the polka in Paris
nearly half century ago that the
dancing masters had for clients ladies
and gentlemen of all classes, and
even judges, lawyers. and doctors did
not disdain to take lessons in what
was then considered as one Of the
greatest requirements for ballroom

the Gar, with this inscription on the

The Emperor duly received it, and
in his turn sent him a book Of blank
pages, among which were several
bank-notes of 1000 rubles each,
which he had forwarded to the poet
with this autograph inscription. On
the first page was written: 'The
Emperor's works. to the poet Pusch-
kline"
The following day the Emperor met
the poet at the Imperial Theater, and

The LeODard.

DR.. Kircher's theory regarding the
leopard was undoubtedly in accord
auce with the general opinion of his
time. DR.. John Anderson, one of
our best. but not best-knoWn, natur-
alists. writes thus in a book published
by him in 1888: 1.-THE Felis pardus,
like the lion and tiger, was well
known to the ancient, who had a
curious superstition regarding it that
survives more or less to the present
day and gives to frequent discussions
as to the supposed difference between
the panther, or pard, and the leopard.
It was thought not to be actually the
same animal as the panther, or pard,
but to be a mongrel or hybrid be-
tween the male pard and the lioness;
hence it was called the lion-panther
of leopardus. This error, as Arch
bishop Trench tells US, has lasted into
modern times. Thus Fuller says that
1eopards and mules are. properly no
creatures.
In reality, however, the names
pard, panther, and leopard have ref
erencc to one and the same animal.
believe that all scientific biologists
are of the same opinion as DR.. An
derson. But in India there are some
English sportsmen who still imagine
that there is difference between
panther and a leopard. In Madras
and Bombay the animal is almost in
variably called a panther. The Ben
gal Presidency, in it's military juris-
diction, is so extensive, reaching
from tie borders OF Afghanistan to
the Eastern limits of Assam, that it
would be unsafe to predict that the
name panther is not recognized in
any part of Bengal, but in the prov
ince known as Lower Bengal the
name leopard is almost invariably
used by English sportsmen.
1t would be of little use to discuss
the names applied by the natives of
each province to the leopard or
panther. According to my own ex-
perience, the natives adopt the name
which they think most suitable to the
colloquial proficiency of their master.
They would sometimes call it little
tiger and sometimes a spotted tiger
in speaking to their master; while
among themselves, owing to their
superstitious notions they would not
venture to talk of the animal by its
proper name Thus / have heard
them use the word 'JackaP' as ap-
plicable to both a leopard and tiger.
This superstition is curious, but al
most universal. The strict Mobam-
medans, from their aversion to the
unclean animal. the hog. do not speak
of it as the boor, a name familiar to
every Englishman, but they call it
the Kala HARM. or black deer, as a
conscience saving euphemism. =
