Luxuries of Royalty.

Royalty enjoys many luxuries and
has many special provisions made for
its comfort. Grand Duke Paul of Rus
sia is so tall that no hotel bed is long
enough for his comfort, and he has one
built in sections, which he carries in
his luggage everywhere, and which is
put up by special mechanic, under
the superintendence of the royal valet,
wherever the grand duke goes. The
empress of Austria and many other
great ladies carry their own beds and
bed linen, blankets and quilts, and al
ways macintosh sheet to spread over
the mattress to guard against damp
ness from lack of sufficient airing in
transit from place to place. The late
sultan of Morocco was also among the
luxurious monarchs. He was an in
valid a good part of the time, and had a
strongly-rooted objection to being car
ried up and downstairs. So railroad
was built from his bedchamber TO the
ground floor. The rails were 18-inch
gauge and were made in three-feet
lengths. The road was built on grad
ual curve and the carriages were beau
tiful easy-chairs with Hanged wheels,
convertible into couches. Room was
left on either side of the track for the
passage of the Observation-Disclosures min
ster Gazette.

IN THE SNOW.

Deep In snow the country road
Winds across the snowy hill
All the 1elds with drifts are white,
AND the flakes are falling still
Ger the pine-tree grim and old,
Like a beggar in the cold,
over ragged oaks that stand
Gaunt and gray on every hand,
over eim-trees bare and brown,
Still the snowfiakes fiutter down.
In the woods the little brooklet
Trembles as the chill winds blow,
And the white birch shakes and shivers
In the snow.
Pale and pure against the sky
Family CLEANS the village spire,
Steadfast still through mondays sun,
Evening mist, or morning fire;
AND the snowfiakes slowly fall
In their whiteness over all,
Till the slender bending stems
OF the grasses gleam like gems,
And a crystal fret-work fine
Covers every tangled vine
Safely, sweetly. rest the dreamers
In the quiet town below
In the silent town, safe folded
In the snow.
Restlessly the eager wind
Echoes like throbbing Lutte,
Till the willows in the hollow
CULVER and are mute.
Under riftcd clouds of gray,
With her troubles put away.
Now the old world lieth white
In the patient hush of night,
Not dream of sorrow thrills
Through the silence of her hills.
God has touched her cloudy valleys,
flushed her countless tones of Woe
And with sweet forgiveness folds her
In the snow.

PREBLE'S FAKE BEAR HUNT.
Got Up as a Joke on Gree nhorn
Hunter ellison.
1t Yielded Unexpected Fun to Such an
Extent That Dave Ramsy Had to Go
Out Into the Open Country
to Laugh.

For more than five years not bear
nor a sign OF a bear had been seen IN
the vicinity If Rose Lake, Pa, and con-
sequently the killing of big one near
there one lay made a great surprise
in that coiier of the heInlocl belt.
There were also circumstances cCn-
nected with the killing of the rear that
made II stii' more notable.
Doc PrebIc lives at Rose Lake. He is
n 20G-podnder, good-natured, and cs-
pecially fond of a practical Joke. Some
weeks ago party of sportsmen came
to Rose Lake to spend few days after
partridge ami 9th ar small game, which
is abundant thereabouts. Among them
was a slim -vonlng man from Pittsburgh,
named Gill ION. Young ellison was en-
tirely unsophlsticated as hunter, and
was probably the grecnest individual
about backwoods things ever seen in
that locality. He soon became game
for mlschievous motives who filled him
full of hair-raising bear and wildcat
stories and other tales of life in ohe
woods the.'eabouts. GillsCn accepted
everything he heard In good faith, and
became fired with a des:ie TO kill a
bear. Having been told tAat he was
liable at any moment to come face to
face with q bear or "A oatamount, Gill
son followed the advice of Doc Preble,
and every time he vent into the woods
he strapped hutting AK at his side,
carried b;Y knife, and kept one bor-
rel of his gun heavily charged with
buckshot. The r.st of tie hunting
party themselves enjoyed the fun the
natives were having with ellison, and
did not interfere.
Soon after there was TALL of snow
In that Locality, ard Doc Preble con
ceived the idea % getting up bear
hunt for young Giilson's benefit. Put
ting on his ,uober boots he made tracks
in the new snow from one big laurel
patch to another one mile up the
mountain and from th.t one to third
one nearly two miles away, on the edge
of Billct's hollow. The e he struck the
old bark road and returned home by
1t. Toward evening he went to Barnes
boarding house, where the hunters were
stopping, anu remai i<ed in |. nonchalant
way that from the tracks he had Seen
in the snow up along Lye's mountain
that afternoon the biggest bear that
ever had wintered in that district hid

laurel patch over that way

and declared that be would go, for one,

wanted to, out that they 5adn't come

stay at home. So Doc Prcble told Gill
son that he would go with him, end
Dave Ramsey, Barnes boss chopper,
and an old near hunter, said he would
go, too, Doc having confidcd the secret
of the bear tracks to him.

morning, Gibson with both barrels of

in my desperation:

pale, but with grin on his face that
made me feel shecpish. Near by .ay
the bear with the top of his head half
blown off. ellison had put both of Ills
buckshot ,harges into it, with the gun
almost against it. Sitting on log a
few feet t. the right, was Dave. What
clothes he had on him were hanging
from him in tatters, and his face and
hands were streaked with blood.
Funny. amt it, Doc?' says he. It's
so funny that I've got to git in the open

with that Dave got up and limped
away home, and he hasn't spoken to
me since.
The boar broke out in the wrong
place, didn't he, Doc?' says Gillson.
But it was deuced clever in you to run
him over here SO | could get shot at
him.
Il didn't say word, but got up and
helped ellison drag the dear bear home,
only a matter of five miles, and a
prouder man never walked than was
that little greenhorn hunter"
1t is supposed the bear was one that
had been driven by hunters from IKE
Sinnemahoning country, the chase be-
ing so long that they had given it up,
and that it had come into the laurel
patch before the snow, unknown 10
anybody, and settled there for the
winter. When Dave Ramsy went into
the laurels to make the mock disturb
ance with a bear to carry out Dee
Preble's joke, he stumbled unexpected
ly upon this ugly customer, and found
himself in a ghand-tumble wrestle
with him before he knew il. The bear
weighed 375 pounds.-N. Y. Sun.

Red Pepper seems to be natures
stimulant for the stomach in all hot
countries. 1t is universally diffused
and used by the natives of .,egjons as
widely separated as Mexico and India.
In Mexico the natives will frequently
be seen eating pepper pods with bread;
in India the red pepper is pounded with

Colder Than the North Pole.

Walter Wellman, who has been to the
arctic regions himself, says that Mel
ville's theory of an eternal ocean ice CAP
is as indefensible as the old notion Of
an open polar sea. At the pole the mean
annual temperature is reckoned at 2 de-
grees F. above zero. In summer it is
doubtless often so warm there that the
lucky explorer who reaches its neigh
borhood will pull at his sledge with
bare hands and without any coat to In
cumber him. During three months OF
summer the mercury would not fall be-
low 10 degrees above zero. He might
pass whole winter there without see
ing the mercury drop any lower than il
occasionally falls in Manitoba and north
ern Minnesota. But he would find a
steadier cold. For three months, proba-
bly,, he would have no higher tempera-
ture than 20 degrees below.
Arctic climate, like many other
things in that region, is little under
stood by people who have not given the
subject special study. In that country
it is always cold when the wind blows,
summer or winter. But even in winter,
when the wind is light Or still, well
clad man can move about in comfort.

rHE DOLL THAT GREW.

Two children sat in q window low,
Where graceful vines ever loved to Creep
A cradle swinging, now fast now slow,
Rocking doll to sleep.
His chubby face and his ringiets brown,
Her laughing eyes and her dimples fair
A sunbeam, lost in the vines, looked down
Glinting her yellow hair.
I said, "Goodby, happy ones goodby;
Fer come back, little girl and boy,
Your laugh will fade to a common sigh,
Mocking this childish joy
Their eyes looked grave, for moment
thought
Rpt could not take in the meaning cold.
She shook her head till his brown crown
caught
Showers of curling gold.
"When you come back; me will be SO tall"
He said, land proud yes me WILL BLU
she.
ssThe doll will grow, and the cradle-all,
Lovely as they can be"
And far away in the world of tide,
In dreams and fancies that picture fair
The girls sweet faith and the boys glad
81, pride
Followed me everywhere.
All, could it stay, could it always bel
But each joy falls with broken wing;
Then night comes on, and it cannot see,
Moaning, it cannot sing.
With years of winter upon my head,
With years of summer upon my face,
I came, by haunting desire led,
Back to the self same place.
The same sun struggled and wandered through,
And glinted ringlets Of brown and gold;
The doll had grown, and the cradle, too,
Lovelier than of old.
The two still sat in the window low,
Their hearts so full Of love SO deep
A cradle swinging, so soft and slow.
Rocking their child to sleep.
