Tho doctor was trifle chary about

eron smiled to herself and bubbled
with delight when the doctor finally
consented to experiment on her. In 10

to bubble with satisfaction. Under the

Tho modern American self feeding

which the coal was poured, was So high
that it became quite task to lift n

Manly Hardy writes to The Forest
and Stream about bears that migrated:
1.-The first notice of these migrations
is to be found in a book by John Josse-
lyn, entitled New England Rareties
Discovered, published in 1878. In this
book he says that great companies Of
bears sometimes travelled across what Is
probably tho Piseataqua river.
About 10 years ago, early in Septem-
Der, my father ono night witnessed
bear migration. The night was dark
one. Tho hears came to the east bank
of the Penotscot river in the town of
Orrington, about seven miles below Ban.

and answering each other till low water,
when they took to the water, swan
across and landed on the Hampden side.
In the morning it was found that
large number had crossed My father
saw their tracks across single plank
in shipyard.
Again, about 80 years ago, friend
of mine, Henry Glapp, who is quoted in
Casinos STANDARD Natural History ms
an authority ON bears, told me that dur
ing the fall he had gone ON trapping

morning i'll November after snowfall

bears, all headed up one little valley.
For several days after that more bear
tracks were found, all headed in the
Same direction-from east to west They

compelled to pay tribute to Genghis

generals were commanded to return,
and they came back incumbcred with
the spoils Of war They all assembled
on vnst plain some 30 miles in extent
and, according to one historian, even
this great field could scarcely contain
all the tents of the countless hosts Tho
omporor's quarters alone were six miles
around. An enormous white tent capa-
bic of containing 1000 people was
spread over his throne, on which was
carefully placed the bit Of black carpet

A vivid account of the daily life of
| tho shah Of Persia is contributed to The
| Illustrated Magazine by Mr.. j. f. Fra
ger, who visited Tehclan III the course
of his world = tour ON bicycle
How docs tho shah spend an ordi
nary day? We'll, nc is a busy man. He
rises early, performs his deyotions, has
piece Of thin, pasiy Persian bread and
glass Of swoetened tea Then at about
8 o'clock he receives his ministers. He
is slovenly in habit and walks up and
down the room with his slippers flip
tapping Indeed, the story goes that
the reason he parted with his first wife
was because she constantly complained
that he did not wash himself.
He dictates dozens Of letters, hears
dispatches read, consults authorities, at
tends infinitely to every detail of bust
ness This continues for six hours at Il
stretch Then he has his breakfast All
the food Is carefully prepared, and n
prince of the royal blood is responsible
that no tricks are played. Tho shah, no
ccrding to etiquette, cats alone. Be
tween 80 and 90 dishes are served, but
his majesty only touches two or three
Knives and forks are things unknown
ut court, and the shah cats everything
with his fingeIs-greased rice. mutton
and fruit
During breakfast extracts from Eu-
ropean papers, chiefly French, are read
10 the shah Following breakfast the
shah probably has AN hours sleep, and
then, after some glasses of tea, he will
amuse himself with working little
telegraph instrument, playing backgam-
mon with his ministers-who are care
full not to win-setting and rcsettiDg
plants in the gardens or taking photo
graphs He has even been photographed
in bed and has pictures Of himself dress

attire and even III the garb Of an Eng.
