rondness Of Mice for sausic.

A nice little animal story is given in
this months Nature Notes, which raises
the interesting question whether mice
have fondness for music. 1t is con-
tributed by musician, who says: "One
evening l was somewhat startled at
hearing my piano suddenly giving forth
sweet sounds, apparently of it's own ac-
cord. A mouse. 50 it proved. had got
inside the instrument, and was making
music on the wires. Whether this was
intentional ON mousie's part or not I
cannot say; perhaps he was trying to
make nest for himself there. Some
years ago, however. while piano was
being played in the dining-room OF my
old home, several mice came out upon
the hcarthrug and began to jump shout,
apparently with delight at the sound OF
the music, and one was either 20 abb
sorbed or overcome by itthathe allowed
himself to be carried sway in tcrgs by
the housemaid." After this, ladies'
ought to lose their antipathy to mice;
indeed, we may soon expect SOME hui
manitarian dame to commence musical
rarties for their delectetion. Il would
be amusing to see them danes. and
would form reelly Aumane method Of
catching them, ~I1Qndom News.

The grizzly bears found all through

attitudes, where they manage year in

bruins of the west are almost totally

dowed with ugly dispositions and pro-
digious strength, and as for grit, they

Hunters disagree upon the point OF
how many different species OF the bear
tribe we have in the southwest. There
are at least three distinct types of the
family in California and. Lower Califor-
MIA namely, the grizzly, brown and
black bear. Besides these there are
also gray bears, cinnamon bears and
the Sierra grayback. The true gray Is
seldom, if ever, seen now as far north

the main divide; the cinnamon is sim
ply a cross between the brown and
black bears, and the mighty silver tip
is neither more nor less than monRrel
of the brown and grizzly, partaking
strongly OF the natures OF the two, but
particularly Of the latter. All the mem
bers of the species intermarry, and the
silver tip il the king Of the family.
This big fellow, springing from the
grizzly and the brown, combines all the
ferocity and tough strength OF the for

TURNED THE TABLES.

How a sharp Drummer Got the Best of .
Mexican Bandit.
"From some of the reports circulated
in the east" said German y. Tetnew. OF
Galveston, Tex, the other night, lone
is led to believe that the western, par
ticuIarly the far southwestern, citizen
is u pretty bad man, whose chief anluse-
ment and means of gaining livelihood
consist OF highway robbery. But
think the finest piece of holding up |
ever heard of was accomplished by
young New Yorker who travelled in our
state and Mexico for a druggists fancy
articles manufactory.
'Thisyoung man, he continued. was
travelling in the state Of Coahuila, Mex
leo, about-two years ago and went one
night to Saltillo, the capital of the state.
1t was the first time he had been in the
town, and. after transacting a little
business, he started out to see the
sights. AS he entered an isolated street
he was suddenly confronted by brig
andish-looking fellow, who. in glib
n.ongrel Spanish, demanded his valu-
ables. with accompany ytrg gestures that
made his meaning perfectly intelligib'e
to the intended victim. The highway
man held in one hand long, sinister
looking knife and waved it about in
suggestive manner which implied the
necessity of ready compliance with his
wishes or tragic result.
''But the salesman was man OF quick
wit and ready resources. Instead OF
handing over his property ne thrust his
hand into his pocket, and n moment
later the cold, shiny barrel OF what
seemed 10 be revolver was pointed at
the would-be robbers head.
's.Excuse me- said the young man.
but this is my game.
Naturally, the surprise caused by
the unexpected production OF the sup
posed revolver produced a change in
the confident manner in which the rob-
ber had confronted the New Yorker,
and he started back. Instantly the
salesman knocked the knife from his
hand, stopped down, picked it mp. took
the highwayman by the collar before he
could escape and marched him before
the police authorities. At the prelirn-
mary trial of the would-be robber the
following morning the guilt Of the pris-
oner was already established, and his
commitment was about to follow when
lie asked il it were not un o5fense for
strangers in the country to carry con-
cealed weapons. He was told that it
was. Then he demanded the arrest OF
the young salesman, charging him with
carrying a revolver. The native JUS
tice asked the salesman if the charge
was true. This was admitted. He was
then asked If he stiIl had the weapon
concealed on his person. The young
man said he had, but pleaded that Its
possession had the night before pre-
vented robbery and possibly murder
He was informed that ssnch = circum-
stance did not alter the ease and that he
had violated the law. s.g,e4
'The prisoner smiled sardonically On

WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS.
The Great Increase In the United King
dOyu-SOme Statistics.

0OI0-SOm0 statistics.
The advance made by women in the
professions is isstrikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from less than 81
600 in 1871 to 8,546 in the last census
year. In the local government of the
country, too. women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
q return of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog-
nize; in 1881 they were returned as IS
in number, but in 1891 they were 101 in
England and Wales. Women ,vetefi
nary surgeons appeared for the first
time in the census Of 1891. There were
then two of them. Besides over $4,000
sick nurses, there are 8S7 women en-
gagged in subordinate medical service" :"
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of ''author, editor, journalist, !"
we find ego women in 1891, as compared
with 452 ten years before and c55 in
1871. Women reporters were rare in
1881. Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in d there
were 127 In the arts the invasion of
the ladies' is most conspicuous. In
1881 there were l,9GO of their sex who
returned themselves as painters, en-
eravers or sculptors; in 1891 the num-
her had risen to 3,032. For the first
time in 1891 there were lady architects
on the census. They numbered 10.
Lady musicians and music mistresses
numbered over 10000 in 1891. They
were IL 600 ten years before. Instead
of 1853 actresses, as in 1881, there were
in 1891 1896. In the commercial class
the increase of women workers is not
so striking, the apparently great aug
lnentation of commercial clerks being
explained by the transfer to this class
