The following story was related by a
Dardistan man of the name of Ghalib Shah,
residing at a village near Astor, called Par
ishing. He was one night looking out
whether any bear had come into his "trom-
ba' field. He saw that u bear was there,
and that he with his paws alternately took
pawful of ''tromba," blew the chatf away
and ate hastily. The man was blind of one
eye and ran to his hut to get his gun. He
came out and pointed it at the bear, The
animal, who saw this, ran round the blind
side Of the mans face, snatched the gun
out of his hand and threw it away.
The bear and the man then wrestled for
a time, but afterward both gave up the
struggle and retired. The man, after he
had recovered himself, went to look for the
gun, the stock of which he found broken.
The matchstring by which tho stock had
been tied to the barrel had gone on burning
all night and had been the cause of the gun
being destroyed The son of that man still
lives at the village and tells this story
which the people affect to believe.-Dr
Leitner in Asiatic Quarterly.

A dinner party in the suburbs one
evening last week was brought to a sum-
mary ending by the entrance of large
sized bat into the room, which swooped
down over the table, causing such IL scat
tering of the fair sex, including the host
ess, as an earthquake could scarcely
have accomplished. The innocent cause
of all this disturbance sought refuge in
the upper folds of the window draper
les, whence it was impossible to dislodge
it, and as the ladies persistenly refused
to rtturn to the dining room while the
intruder held possession there the re-
manning courses were served informally
in the library to the scornful amusement
of the men. One of the latter is report
ed rs saying, "And yet women consider
themselves our equals and want to vote!"

A RELIGIOUS REUNION.
Men of Many Creeds in Congress
at Chicago.
ALL NATIoNALITIEs WELCOMED.

Followers of Mohamm ed anism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Theosophy Will Dis
ouss with believers in the Christian
Faith the Great Questions of Morality.
CHICAGO, Sept 1l-All the great relig-
ions of the world and of Christendom, all
shades OF re. .sious beliefs, are represented
in the hOspitable halls of the Art Palace
This religious cosmos combines many con-
gresses aud includes the great parliament
of religions, which opened its sessions to-
day, and continues for seventeen days
The parliament is of course, the main
feature of the series. Its object, in the
language of Mr.. Bonney, who may be con-
sidered chief patriarch Of the Cosmic
church, and who therefore, npeaks ex-
cathodra, is to bring together the worlds
religions In an assembly Sin which their
common aims and common grounds of
union may be set forth and the marvellous
religious progress of the nineteenth CEN
tury be reviewed.
The program gives ample promise that
this object will be effectunlly attained, for
in the union meetings of the parliament
able ministers and laymen of all creeds
will set forth the reasons for the faith that
is within them. Priests of Buddha will
mingle with Christian prelates, and the
mystic dualism of Zoroaster will come in
close contact with the practical unitarian
ism OF Claiming, Emerson and Parker.
Catholics, Protestants and members of the
Greek church will be equally welcome to
the privileges Of the platform, and for the
time being sects will forget their differ
ences and by their determination become
type of church univ ersal
Besides Christianity in all its denomina-
tional phases, the list of religions which
finds temporary home beneath the roof
of the Art building includes Brahminism,
Mohammedanism, Buddhism, Taoism.
Confucianism, Shintoism, Judaism, Zorro
asterism and Theosophy, and in almost
every instance the addresses relating to
these religions will be given by persons
from the far off lands In which they hold
sway over the consciences Of men. This,
in brief, Is the scope of the parliament of
religions around which center all the other
meetings.
The program for the entire series of con-
crosses is a formidable document, its
pages, containing the order Of exercises,
numbering 100 The program for the
opening session today includes addresses
of welcome by President c. c. Bonney,
Rev. John Henry Barrows, Rev. Augusta
J. Chaplin, ID. D., Archbishop p, A. Fee

In the forty-ninth registration report Of
Massachusetts Qsg0l the compiler presents
the statistics Of 203 persons who were re-
ported as having died during the 10 years
QSS1-90J at the age of 100 and over. Ofthis
number 1853, or i5.4 per cent, were females
By the state census of 1855 the number Of
females living over so years of age was
nearly double that of males. The greater
exposure of men to accidents, to weather
agencies, to the constant strain of business
life, to the anxiety of providing for the
family, all tend to shorten the life Of men.
The deaths by accident among men are
more than threefold greater than among
women, and men commit suicide in about
threefold ratio as compared with women.

"The old man had three sons-one named
M'dessun. He is the baby and is very
fierce and cruel. 1t is he who Stays men and
beasts and destroys property. The other
two are kind and gentle. They cool the hot
air, revive the parched fields and the crops
and destroy only that which is harmful to
the earth. When you hear low, distant
mutterings, that is the old man. He told
the girl that as often as spring returned
she must think of him and show that she
was grateful by giving him a little smoke.
He then took leave of her and sent her
home, where her family had mourned her
as one dead. Since then no Indian has
ever feared thunder" / said, But how
about the lightning?" oh" said the old
woman, lightning is grandfather's wife"
A Jackson, in the White mountains,
met Louis Mitchell, for many years the In
dian member of the Maine legislature, a
Passamaquoddy, and asked him about this
story. He said it was perfectly true, al
though the custom was now falling into
disuse; only the old people kept it up. The
tobacco is cast upon tie fire in ring and
draws the electricity, which plays above it
in a beautiful blue circle of Pickering
flames. He added that it is a well known
fact that no Indian and no Indian property
were ever injured by lightning. Miss Abby

BABY CLEVELAND'S WARDROBE.
1t Was Nearly All Mado by Mrs. cleve-
land Herself.

WASHINGTON. Sept 11.-Tclegrnms of
congratulation from all parts of the coun-
try are pouring in upon the president over
the advent of the new baby girl. Mrs.
Cleveland made nearly all of the new
baby's outfit. Baby Ruth's outfit was
made by New York seamstress. Mrs.
Cleveland was then inexperienced, aud
did not know what baby required But
this baby has all the advantages of Mrs.
Cievelaud's experience with Ruth, and
will enjoy the benefit of the fine materials,
such us flannels, woolen goods, soft silks
and the like, which have been sent to Mrs.
Cleveland to be made up into baby clothes.
The new baby has six outing cloals.
These are all white, and they are Of six
different materials. One is Of fine white
flannel, lined with white silk. 1t falls in
gathers from tho neck, and it has very full
sleeves which are finished with silk
ruIiie. The neck of the cloak has silk
rultle around 1t high ut the back of the
neck, and tapering TO very narrow frill
under the chin. This is done out of regard
to the comfort of baby's neck.
| The other white cloaks are respectively
of corded silk, eldcrdown, broadcloth
satin, and there is one soft crepe cloth
| lined with wool.
| This is the first child born toa president
in the White House. though there have
been other births in the executive man

The vice Presidents candlestlcks.

The desk in the vice presidents room
at the capitol looks very desolate during
a recess of the senate, and the space that
used to be taken up by the large silver
tray, candlesticks and writing outfit
which had been on the desk for four
years seemed larger while it was vacant.
1t was very handsome outfit, and ac-
cording TO time honored custom was
presented to Mr.. Morton by special or
der from the senate. During the recess
the sergeant-at-arms went shopping and
purchased new desk furniture, which
four years hence will become the prop
erty of Mr.. Stevenson.-Kat Fields

she was the best Of the lot, and Satur lays
royal struggle merely strengthens their
conviction. But nobody of any nautical
pretensions expected that she would de-
feat the Colonia so thoroughly.
The first leg OF the race was intended to
be dead beat; but because of the shifting
of the wind from east to southeast to tho

Gresham, and explained the situation in
detail. He assured me that our interest
