Halstead's Bear Stories.

Murat Halstead says that one Of his
first mistakes in journalism was the
suppression of bear stories, that stand
ard source of entertainment for all man
kind in all ages. AS if to remedy this
mistake and omission of his reckless
youth, the man with the wisdom of
years on him now puts before the pub
lie volume called Zone Hundred Bear
Stories" They are gathered from all
over the world, from the beginning of
history down to the present day. One is
pleased to see from this book that the
famous journalist is so familiar with
the sacred Scriptures, something he has
not hitherto perhaps had full credit for.
At any rate, he knows enough Of tito
quote Bible bear stories, which consti-
tute some Of the best in the book. In his
preface Mr.. Halstead says:
Bear stories have from the dawn of Ameri-
can letters occupied more chapters of our back
woods literature than those of all other beasts
and have held their own marvelously for two
centuries. The extraordinary fame of the bear
character. His accustomed comic dignity is as
delightful as his occasional savagery is alarm
ing. He is clumsy, heavy footed animal, but
often alert and erect, and there is something
manly in his hugging propensity. The fund of
fun in him is the source of his fame and the
essential element of his Immortality. The hui
NOR Of him and the horror Of him help him to
glory.
A complaint long and loud goes forth
from those interested in industries with
which the horse is directly or indirectly
connected. The farmers who breed
horses suffered when electricity was
substituted for animal power on the
street railways. Now the livery stable
keeper can scarcely hold his own any
more because Of the bicycle. The horse
sheer is suffering for lack Of employ
ment too. It is a problem what all
these men will do. Undoubtedly both
the electric car and the bicycle have
come to stay. Their use will steadily
increase for generation to come. The
only way to meet the difficulty is for the
livery stable keeper and the horseshoer
to find some other employment This is
not impossible. An American is always
easily adaptable to new things. New
trades spring up as the old ones die. In
little while the labor that is thrown
out will adapt itself to some new occu-
patton. In selecting the new work, that
which is most like the old will be the
one which gives most promise of sue
cess.

The United States department Of agri-
culture has a new seal, and it bears the
device Of a shock of corn. That is well.
Corn is the good, great and beneficent
agricultural product Of this country. We

WISDOM OF CHINESE MOTHERS

While China is certainly not setting the
example at present for the rest of the
wolrd to pattern by, the wives and
mothers of that land show practical
wisdom in regard to the care and nurture
of babies OF which we can initiate many
points with considerable benefit This
first rule is that everything worn by a
child should be loose. The coat r gown
jacket or dress is a world too wide and
is suspended from the shoulders. Shoes
and stockings are looked at with dis
favor and are only put ON to little boys
after they learn to walk. and then only
vixen they go out for promenade or
when they are to receive I'M portant com
pany. A youngster goes round in his
bare feet and enjoys the mysterious
pleasures, which only babes know, of
playing unlimitedly with his toes and
heels.
The third rule forbds the use of belt
giidle or cincture of any kind except
ing in full dress. and then it is worn
loosely. The rule given by the Chimes
child should breathe with its stomach,
and that anything interfering with this
kind of respiration is injurious. Another
rule is to give the child playtbings and
to cultivate its love of play.
Birds, chickens, puppies, kittens, kids,
llZZaruS, mowers anu all SOTtS OF OBJECTS
are given TO the child. where We contine
his habits TO the rattle and the rubber
ring. One result of this smystem is that
the Chinese child will entertain and
amuse himself the day long while the
western child frets and wants something,
it knows not what
Another style of toy consists of child
ren's furniture, stools and chairs no
larger than cigar boxes; clumsy little
tables foot high, little chairs that swing
with ropes from the top Of a doorway and
so low down to the ground that a child
can get into it himself; little earthen
ware bowls, cheap but strong, with who
h it can make believe to have dinner.
These and other things OF the kind amuse
millions of little folks. Still anothe,
good rule Is that OF the parents beco ming
children for the time being every day,
and devotine nm hour or two to baby talk
aud baby play. 1t does good I'd the
children, and, it is said, as much good to
the fathers and mothers. Last OF all the
children are allowed to play inthe sand
and gravel as mucp as they desire.

Yesterday the orphans fair was7the
scene of great deal of gayety and happy
confusion. 1t is beginning to lose Its
novelty for those who participate, but
visitors still find an interest in the
pretty booths and their engaging attend
ants.
During the day quite mum Der vera
present, and at lunch time another large
crowd was accomm odated; but the great
est nun 5ers come at night. Then it IS
that the jovial auctioneers, N. M. OUR
olo and Mr.. Thornton, sell their cakes
and bric-a- brac and by their clever talk
ing increase the funds which shall go to
assist IN maintaining the fatherless and
motherless little ones at the home.
The contests for tho most popular la
uies and gentlemen receive their most
liberal patronage in the evening, when
spirited voting is kept up as the friends
OF one young lady advance her on the list
to place ahead of her competitors.
The sales from the booths have slightly
fallen off, but it is expected they will
rise this evening. Everything that re-
mains will then be sold at auction.
There will be splendid opportunities for
helping on good cause and securing
some handsome needle and fancy work
at the same time. The management
hopes to conclude the fair with fine
programme. and a large attendance for
the last night is anticipated. In the
evening Mussos mandolin orchestra will
dispense music, with the addition OF
several special features in the way of
solos by local artists, and some good

The habit of reading late at night is
com mt on to most women. The causes for
this are two-fold. There is, firstly. no
better because no quieter, time for read

the house is stepped in repose. And
there is, secondly, an incompatible fas-
cination about partaking CT a literary
