HABITS OF POLAR BEARS.
They Seem to Thoroughly Enjoy Their
Life in the London Zoo.

Appropriately to the recent mortal i'll
ness OF the large polar bear in the London
Geological Garden writer in the London
Spectator remarks upon the mistake we
made in supposing that the denizens of the
frozen north necessarily suffer unduly in
warmer climates; that sin all stories of arc
tic travel the extreme of cold appeals so
strongly to the imagination that the heat
ofthe nightless summer, in which the Es
kimos strip themselves naked in their
snowhouses, is often forgotten. The good
health and long life of the polar bears in
this country (England) is less surprising
than atfirst appears when this extraordin
airy range of arctic temperature is remem-
bered. Moreover, the white bears are alb
solutely Indifferent to fog and wet. Crea-
lures that live and thrive on islands like
Nova Zembla, where hall their life is spent
in fog and darkness, are little troubled
by the London fog and damp of Regents
Park. They will plunge and
roll in the bath with as much pleasure
in pouring rain or when the tank is full of
clinking ice as on hot summer day, and
the only weather which seems to cause
them discomfort is a hot August afternoon.
when they pant and loll out their tongues
like Newfoundland dogs" The size of
these bears approaches that of the OK or
the elephant, rather than that of the true
carnivora. In some respects the bears
powers of movement exceed those of cats.
They lean maintain gallop at a pace
equal to that of fast horse, leap wide
CULTS with ease, swim fast enough to catch
a salmon, and dive like seal or an otter.
They heartily enjoy their play, but are
dangerous animals. No creatures are more
carefully kept at arms length by their
keepers. Men who will rub their hands
over lion S face and eyes or pat the neck
of tiger, shift bison bull across it's stall
like a bullock, or handle python like a
length of rope, would think it rash to put
hand or limb within reach of these bears.
The fierceness of the polar bear is
probably due to his enforced carnivorous
diet. Every other bear is largely a fruit,
vegetable and insect feeder, but in the
frozen north the polar bear lives of neces-
sity on fish, carrion, seals, walruses and
birds.-Popular Science Monthly.

IN the Twenty-hrst Regiment of Illinois
Volunteers made deep impression upon
some of the officers and many of the men:
For some reason the first appointed colonel
OF that regiment resigned, and at that time
the officers of regiment had the privilege
OF designating by vote their wishes as to
the colonelcy. These officers met, and
among them was Captain Patterson, who
afterward was an able Judge in one of the
illinois districts. During the discussion
Captain Patterson suggested that they vote
for the election of that Captain Grant who
had mustered the regiment in, and the
idea was received with instant favor. A
vote was taken and the proposition was
carried, and a petition setting forth these
facts was sent to Governor Yates.
A few days later Captain Grant, sitting
in his fathers leather-store, received a
telegram from Governor Yates asking him
II he would accept an appointment as
colonel of the Twenty first Regiment. Ac-
cept the appointment Would an eagle

received his commission and joined the
regiment, and the firm impulse of his dis

Yet Grant was 1T freed from humilia-
ton. He had been unable to procure
any better clothes than those which he
wore when he first vent to Springfield, and
while those served him well enough hav-
ing upon the shoulders of his coat the
straps, which were the only indications of
his authority when he was drilling the
regiment, yet, of course, he could not APP

Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander the duty of

reason why he himself did not take COM

permit him to do so.
In that emergency Colonel Grant wrote

Physique in the East and West.

The Western man of the United States
is generally superior to the Eastern man in
height. This is attributed to the formers
enjoyment of freer air and greater album
dance of food at the time the West was
first opened. 1t has also been suggested
that this is due to the fact that only the
best physical specimens dared to penetrate
the wild plains in the time of the pioneers.

MOURNED FOR HIS GIRL.
Incident Which Shows That Artists Don't
FrOMn on Sentiment.


FrOwn on Sentiment.
| Not long ago one of our wealthy
young painters gave a supper in his
studio to a number of friends in the
profession, says New York correspond
ent of the obe-Democrat. Among his
guests was n youthful sculptor who,
throughout the feast preserved mel
ancholy aspect that was quite incon-
gruous in the general hilarity of the
occasion. The artists rallied the sorrow-
ful young man on his gloom, but
neither wit nor sarcasm could tempt q
smile into his face. He was teetotal-
Ter and refused to cheer up his droop-
ing spirits with wine But he ate
heartily and at intervals sighed like a
furnace. The deviled lobster was es-
pecially to his liking, and after con-
Stunning two dishes of it he extended his
plate for more.
Suddenly he gave suppressed Shrek,
dropped the plate heavily in the center
OF some exquisite Sevres dishes, smash
ing them into fragments, and, running
swiftly to the lounge, threw himself
down on his face and began to groan
dolefully. The CONSERVATION of the
company may be imagined The host
was in grief over the disaster to his
costly china, but he was still more con-
cerned by the illness of his guest.
Rushing to where the apparently dying
sculptor lay, he attempted to force some
brandy down the sufferers throat. One
OF the painters seized pitcher of iced
water and poured it over the groaner,
another tied some cracked ice in a nap
kin and tied it around the patients
head, while a third dashed madly down
stairs for u physician. After being
doused with cold water, however, the
sculptor stopped grooming and protest
ed vigorously against such treatment.
81 am not ill.," he muttered, mourn
fully; II am only homesick for my
sweetheart, who sailed for Europe yes
terday and who won't be back for three
months"
In any other assemblage such state
ment would have been greeted with in
dignant derision. But the young sculp-
tors confession was regarded as bit of
entirely natural sentiment, and even
the host forgot the damage to his Sevres
service in the universal expression OF
sympathy.
