How to keep restless child quiet in
church is question that often per-
plexes the person that took him there.
A pencil and a little blank book in
which he can write is an occupation
that frequently satisfies, but plan sug-
gested by an English paper has the
merit of decided novelty. This is to
provide him with two pincushions, one
full and the other empty, of pins.
The process of taking all of the pins
out of the full cushion and sticking
them into the empty one is, it is
vouched for, an absorbing employment
and one which does not quickly pail
1t has the merit, too, of being noise
less.
A simple rule for determining the
speed at which bicycle is travelling
is as follows: Multiply the gear of the
machine by five and divide that result
by %. Then using the quotient as a
basis, count the number of revolutions
which the pedals make in that number
of seconds. This will give in miles
per hour the speed at which the wheel
is moving.

Sawed a Bear.

A resident Of the Black RIVER dis
trict was in the city today and he tells
rather large story of bear KILN in
the Black Hills. 1t is this way. The
big wind of a few days ago blew a
large hollow tree down and it fell
across public highway. Peter John
son and Young Sturdevant concluded
they would remove the barrier and
swinging cross-cut over their should
ers started for the scene of trouble.
They were soon saving away and the
saw dust flew both ways. But pretty
soon along with the saw dust came
hair and then hide and then meat and
then bones and then-well When the
log fell apart the upper end of a big
black bear was found in one part of
the hollow log and the lower end in
the other part. 1t is good story even
if it is not just trne.-Olympian.

HAYTl SHOWS NERVE.
Demands an Apology From Ger
many for Insults to the
President.

Washington, Dec. 1T developed to-
day that Hayti has sent a reply to
Germany's demands, which is some
what remarkable for its hrmness in
view Of the difference of size of the two
powers. The Haytian note makes it
clear that the republic is ready to dis
cuss the. merits Of the controversy but
does not desire to have Germany pass
Judgment in the first place, demand an
indemnity and thereafter discuss the
merits.
Moreover, Hayti gives notice to Ger
many that the German charge daft
aires to Hayti, who made the recent de-
mands, is persona non grata and that it
is impossible for Hayti to conduct
further negotiations with him. It is
stated that he offended against all rules
of prOpriety and official etiquette by
going directly before the president Of
Hayti and in a loud and angry tone
and insulting manner, threatening dire
consequences unless immediate repara-
tiOn was made to Germany This per-
sOnaI affront to HaytIs chief executive
is regarded as touching the honor and
self respect of the country and is felt
to call for an apology Under such
circumstances the Haytian government
has expressed a Willingness to negOti-
ate a settlement of the entire case at
Berlin, thus removing it from the
hands of the Objectionable German Of
fetal now in Hayti.
