Early Friendships.

OF all the disappointments that come to
us In this life one Of the greatest is when we
realize that we have outgrown our early
friendships. There Isn't person living
who has not already or will not in the fu-
ture know the meaning of this statement,
for this poignant grievance seems to be q
very part of life that all must share alike.
Youth forms ties that at the time seem
to BIO everlasting. Separation comes.
Vows Of constancy are uttered and letters
interchanged. Time goes on, the early
friends do not meet perhaps for years, and
when they do, alas, they find themselves
uncongenial. Other ties and other inter
ests have awakened new sentiments. They
try to get back to the old friendly footing,
but something holds them in check They
cannot define the change, but they realize
its existence and pang Of sorrow smites
the heart that longs so earnestly to be
constant.
1t is owing TO this natural and gradual
drifting that so few of the matches made
by men and women of immature judg-
ment ever outlive the vicissitudes Of the
changing years. Intentions are of the best,
the affections are not blighted, but the
congeniality Of sentiment is missing, and
little by little 1t occurs to the husband OF
wife that the other is not what she or he
seemed in the years gone by, and tacit
acknowledgment Of mistake casts cloud
over the union that promised to be so sun
ny.-Philadelphia Times

.,rhero Were Giants In those Days.

Turner, the naturalist, declares that he
once saw, upon the coast of Brazil, race
OF gigantic savages whose average height
was over 10 feet, some individuals exceed
ing 19X feet. M. Thevet of France, in his
description of America, which was pub
hshed in Paris in 1876, says that he was
once present when the skeleton of South
American savage II feet and 2 inches in
height was disinteTTed. The Chinese have
q record Of several giants between 12 and
10 feet In height which have lived in the
Flowery Kingdom within the last 300
years Josephus mentions Jew who was
10 feet Q inches, and Pliny was we'll 40
quainted with Gabara, the Arabian giant,
who was feet inches In height. Com
ing down to modern times, we find that
John Middleton, who lived In the time Of
James I, was 8 feet inches and had a
hand II inches long by 81 broad. Muir
ply, one Of the celebrated trio of "Irish
Giants" (Charles Byrne and O'Brien be-
ing the other two), was feet 10 inches

dressing room and wet flash into the
sewing room. Near the door Of this room
stood perch on which rested in peaceful
sleepiness q dignifled parrot. The cat tried
this hurdle, but missed 1t, and the parrot,
knocked to the floor, added to the force OF
the cyclone which went raging around the
house. A table was knocked over, and q
statue of the Venus of Milo already short
of arms, was made legless. The baby OF
the house was frightened into spasms, the
parrot scolded and screamed herself into q
fit, and afterward the dripping cat, having
made lightning tour Of the house, was
found trembling and subdued on her mis-
tress' jacket, price $65.
II hope" said the lord of the manor
when he had surveyed the scene Of wreck
age, that this will teach your cat o les
son."
II hope so" said his wife, soothing the
baby and looking at her jacket with
mournful eyes.
There is only one way to go about such
things" said the husband, with satisfac-
ton. II pride myself on being able to han
die animals" And his wife discreetly
said nothing.-New York Tribune

The Black Bear of North America.


The black bear (Ursus americanus) is
the most persistent Of all our largo NAM
mails In his refusal to BIO exterminated.
Because Of the facts that his senses are
keen, his temper suspicious and shy and
his appetite not at all capricious no hangs
on In the heavily wooded mountains
swamps and densely timbered regions Of
North America generally long after other
kinds Of big game have all been killed or
driven away.
AS his name implies, he is Jet black all
over except his nose, and when his fur is
In good condition it is glossy and beauti-
full. His muzzle from his eyes down into
the edge Of his upper lip is either dull
yellow or dingy white, and sometimes,
particularly in Alaska, he has white
spot on his breast According to locality
and climate, the hair of the black bear
may be short and close, as in the south,
or long and inclined to shagginess, though
not SO much SO as the grizzly's. Very often
his coat will be abundantly thick and of
good length, but so even on the outside
and so compact that he looks as If he had
been gone over by the scissors and comb of
/ q skillful barber.
So far as l have seen, neither the griz-
ely nor cinnamon ever has that appear
ance In the north, where his furry coat
is finest 1t Is now eagerly sought by the
furriers, and the standard price for large
skin of good quality is $25. The ladies
prize 1t for muffs and collars, and the car
pet warrior and the bandmaster love to
have it tower heavenward from their war
like brows as a shako.-W. 7. Hornaday

The black eyed clerk, who was not di-
vinely tall, strained her arm in vain
effort to catch the roll which hung just
beyond her reach, and friendly voice
from the next counter cried, ''Forty-fve
