She Killed the Bear.


s o M c Philadelphia sportsmen
hunting the deer in the wild portion
of Clearfield county. in the center CT
the mountains ofPennsylvania, were
hurriedly called out one morning by
the guide, who had disco, cred two
bucks few miles away, says the
New York World. Hastily starting,
the men did not carry a large sup
ply OF ammunition and what they
had was all used or wasted in bag
ging the deer. Starting back to
camp, they encountered bear and
as they could not shoot they ran,
each going in different direction.
The bear chased the guide and he
TOOK the direct course toward the
camp log house, where his wife was
preparing a meal. With a yell he
dashed into the house and Bp iato
the loft. Ills wife ran out Of the
back door, closed it, and as the bear
had gone inside she buried around,
closed the front door and made the
bear o prisoner.
The intrepid woman then tied a
dog to pole, thrust the bowling
canine through the door and thus
coaxed the bear out. As bruin ap.
peared she struck him with an ak
and killed him at the first blow.
One Of the hunters commented on
her manner OF fishing for $50 bear
with dog worth $50, but the wo-
msn retorted :
"We generally shoots EN-, but we
yer runs from EN-"

WITH JENNY, IN THE RAIN.

As sad | was as any,
With all lovers pain
Till | walked that day with Jenny
With Jenny, in the rainl
Past fresh'ning fields of clover
And sweet with ripening grain,
And blossoms blowing over,
With Jenny, in the rain.
The silkon shade above her
The violets at her feet;
The raindrops seemed to love her,
And fell in music sweet.
And, oh, the south wind blowing,
In many glad refrain.
When love and 1 were going
With Jenny, in the rain!
Each breeze that rippled past her
Stole kisses on the way;

Than beat my heart that day.

A GYPSY DANCER.

At the date this story commences,
about the year l743, there resided in
the West Riding of Yorkshire, Eng
land, family OF ancient pedigree
and great wealth. This was the fam
lily of Sir George Pasely, gentle
man of the old English school.
Sir George was married, though
not until he was already an old bach
elor, but his wife was a young and
lovely being, of tender age, compar-
ed with his own, Tor when she be-
came Lady Pasely she was but 10
years of age. Sir George dotted on
her, and, indeed, she was worthy his
fondest regard, being everything in
person and mind that the heart could
wish. But, alas ! the destroyer,
Death, came, and The same hour that
made him father took the gentle
mother and fond wife to her long
home. Time rolled on, and the
sweet child grew daily more like
what her mother was, while Sir
George loved her with deep and
absorbing affection.
There was a young man, wild
and reckless spirit, that claimed to
be next of kin to the Pasely family
with Sir George, and would doubt.
less, from some peculiar cause known
to law, be able to establish his right
to the estates now holden by Sir
George, provided he should die with
out issue. Therefore the birth and
growth Of little Louise Pasely was
watched with jealous care by Ernest
Renwood, who hoped one day to pos
sess the broad Pasely estates fer his
own.
-Four years had passed since the
birth of Louise, who proved to be
sturdy and beautiful child, when
Renwood saw that he must bring
his designs to an issue, and not leave
any longer bis hopes to chance. He
therefore formed the resolution OF
adopting some eXpedient to rid him.
self of her, for, as we have seen, she
stood between him and the itch
lands he so much coveted. He was
not naturally hardened villain, but
that most power 'ul incentive TO evil,
that most thriving agent of the Evil
Spirit, avarice, WAS goading him on
to the brink of perdition; and he
was an orphan and had been reared
lacking the fostering care and godly
counsel that forewarns and forearms
youth against the temptations of
manhood.
Tt was late one mild summers
night when be came to this conclu-
sion be recalled to his mind that
at wild and secluded spot some
two miles from the immediate neigh
borhood of Sir Georges estate,
there were eneanped at that very
hour band of gypsies, who he at
once conjectured might be of service
to him in the plan he proposed to
execute, viz, to rid himself of the
little Louise Pasely. heiress to the
estates that he desired to possess.
Louise disappeared on the subse.
quent night and on the following
morning, when her absence was dis
covered, CONSERVATION filled the
hearts Of all.

Though Baron Maurice de Hirsch was
of distinguished ancestry and the in
heritor of great wealth, his memory
will be revered for what he was and
what he did. The world cannot but
admire the genius of a man who had
his phenomenal grasp of great affairs,
who could seize opportunities before
they were conceived by the ordinary
mind, and who could go unerringly
to the accomplishment of stupendous
undertakings in which millions were in
volved. But it was not this rare power
that insures the lasting fame Of Baron
Hirsch. The true nobility of the man
appeared in his intense sympathy for
the poor, the unfortunate and the op-
pressed, which found eloquent express
sion in the gift of millions for their
relief. He was munificent giver,
but without ostentation and without
thought less worthy than that of anne
liorating the condition of his afflicted
race. His philanthropy was on the
same magnificent scale as his opera
tons in the business world and the
ability that guided the one was only
outshone by the unselfish charity that
prompted the other. The death of his
son may have been the Christening af-
fiction that stirred the heart of the
father to deeds Of mercy and human
ity; but the man who could be so
moved possessed all the innate virtues
so admired in the career Of the dead
baron. The man who would give forty
millions TO one good cause and make
two continents the beneficiaries of his
bounty, deserved all the prosperity
that came to him, and left lesson
that the rich men of the world SHOULD
take to themselves. There could be
no greater worldly happiness than he
enjoyed in the consciousness of duty
done and the blessings his charity in
yoked.

HEATING BY STEAM,
RECENT ADVANCES MADE IN
THIS METHOD.
It's Early Imperfections Have Been
Overcome and Splendid Results Are
Now Obtained-Descript of Model
House and Its Heating Apparatus.
Clean and Economical.


The vast increase In the number Of
the very large buildings, which is one
of the most marked features Of modern
architecture, has brought many new
problems to the builders. There has
been a complete revolution In methods
Of construction. One Of the minor ways
In which this manifests itself is in the
matter Of heating. 1t goes without say
ing that the old style hot-air furnace
Is incapable of any development that
would fit it for the sky-scraping struc-
ture one now finds on every city block;
nor would 1t suit the huge rambling
country houses that have taken the
place of the square, box-like building
that contented our forefathers. The
world of the present day is not the
world of twenty-five years ago. Steam

heating, it is true, had it's origin be-
fore these architectural changes had
made themselves felt but it was crude
at first, and has developed to its pres
ent perfection under the spur of neces-
sity.
With its many early imperfections
steam-heating was slow in coming into
favor. and there are to-day many wor-
thy persons who hold a rooted aversion
to it, based upon unhappy experience.
1t Is not difficult to understand the rea-
son for this when one visits building
equipped with steam-heating ap-
paratus Of q score or more years ago.
The temperature is scarcely even bear
able, for with the steam turned on the
rooms become torrid; If 1t is turned off
they become frigid, and there seems to
be no happy medium. Added to this
very vital objection, when the steam is
first admitted to the radiators, one
might as well live in boilershop. The
humping and changing Is enough to
craze person of nervous susceptible
ties.
In view of the splendid results that
are now obtained In steam-heating, 1t
Is needless to say that these faults are
not due to the system, but to the ignor-
ant application Of It, Where the heat
cannot be properly and perfectly regu-
lated, there has been no scientific adj
justment of heating surface to the cubic
dimensions of the room. In many
buildings that have been equipped with
the apparatus subsequent to their cree
ton, there are hundreds Of feet of
steam pipe exposed, because 1t was
Impossible to carry them from floor to
floor and from room to room within the
walls. The radiators themselves have
sufficient heating surface, while the
steam pipes are responsible for the
over-heating. The architect of to-day
settles this difficulty in his plans. If
the matter Is left to him, steam-heating
becomes a delight to the householder,
