poor little fellows-they had dome
gone" and had eaten too much of the
honey and both were in the throes of .
fierce case of stomach ache. The cubs
were rolling about on the ground, their
legs drawn together and squealing like
two shoats in a slaughter pen. And the
mother bear was endeavoring to sooth
her offspring. First the one and thea
the other she would take and rub--rub
where the pain seemed fiercest and rub
as though the stonacbs of the poor
little bears would surely wear
through. Then occasionally she'd lose
her patience with the gluttonous little
bears and the way she'd cuff them
looked as though she might have
learned it from peeking into Cum
nings township schoolroom sOme day
when the schoolma'am wasn't in good
humor and when she was taking her
spite out on some block headed young
ster. This culIing. however, was not
much of cure for bear stomach ache,so
while her lord and master ravenously
waded into the contents of the tub Mrs.
Bear continued to rub the stomachs Of
her youngsters like as if they had collie
or had been eating green apples.
Chamberlain and Kuntz conceived
the idea of capturing the cubs. They
reckoned that the little ones were too
sick to be able to run, and they cal
culated that the old bears would ske-
daddle as soon as they saw them. But
they reckoned wrong. The bears were
not to be frightened. The men were
without weapons, save for pocket
knives. They suddenly leaped from
their hiding place into the clearing,
not more than ten yards from the
bears. And just as suddenly did old
Mr.. Bruin leave Off eating honey and
prepare for defense, The men circled
about the quartet of bears. The latter
huddled together, the sick cubs whin-
ing so pitifully that even old man Chanl-
berlain's heart softened. He would
have retreated had not just then the
old male bear made up his mind to
fight. He made for the men on a
double-quick, reinforced by the moth
er bear and the shambling sick cubs.
The men endeavored to make detour
to get down into the ravine again, when
suddenly the she bear broke away and
took after Kuntz full tilt. Kuntz
slipped and went spralwing into the
tub of honey, emerging therefrom with
the sticky stuff all over his face and
hands and it dripping from his long.

DEATH RATE IN HAVANA.
Die Daily-SCnsrsrs Lie In the Streets
Owing to Ovsrcrowdsd Hospitals.

HAVANA, Dec. 24.-This city's death
rate is astounding. There are between
IS and Is deaths here each day, the ma
jority from malarial fever, typhoid
claiming the next largest number of
victims, and pernicious fever about
the same. The civil register Friday
showed total of 40 deaths in this
city in the last "a hours, and
two parishes, where the death rate was
usually high, made no report. The
mortality last week was at the rate of
1s in every 1000 of the population.
This week it will be higher. In New
York the rate is only 90 deaths per an
mum for every kind of population. All
the hospitals are overcrowded and no
more patients can be received. Suf-
ferers lie in the streets.

CLAIR. oe TIE REGULARS.

II was Private Blair of the regulars be-
fore dread III Caney.
Who felt with every throb OF mis- wound
the life-tide ebb away:
And as he dwelt In fcvered dream on
the home of his youthful years.
He heard near by the moan and sigh OF
two OF the volunteers
He raised him up and gazed at them. and
likely lads they were.
But when he bade them pluck up heart he
found they could not stir.
Then a bullet plowed the sodden loan,
and his fearless face grew dark.
For he saw through the blur sharpshoot-
er. who made the twain his mark.
And his strength leaped into his limbs
again, and his fading eye burned
bright:
And he gripped his gun with a steady hand
and glanced along the sight;
Then another voice in that choir Of fire out
spake with deadly stress,
And In the trench at Ell Caney there lurked
Spaniard less
But still the means of the volunteers went
up through the murky air,
And there kindled the light of a nobler
thought in the brain of Private Blair.
The flask at his side, he had drained II dry
In the blisterng scorch and shine,
So. unappaled. he crept and crawied In
the face of the fire-line
The whirring bullets sped o'erhead. and the
great shells burst with a roar
And the shrapnel tore the ground around
like the tusks of grisy boar.
But on he went. with his high intent. till
he covered the space between
And came to the place where the Spanard
lay and clutched his full canteen.
Then he wriggled back DER the bloody
track. while death drummed loud in
his ears,
And pressed the draught he would fain
have quaffed to the lips of the volun-
teerS.
"Drinkr cried he; don't think of me, for
I'm only a regular,
While you have homes in the mother-land
where your waiting loved ones are"
Then his soul was sped to the peace of the
dead All praise to the men who dare,
And honor be from sea to sea to the deed
of Private Blair!

FIERCE CASE OF STOMACH ACHE.

close second. Kuntz, half blinded by
the honey, rushed into the thicket, the
old bear fortunately followed no fur-s
ther than the edge of the clearing.
Chamberlain succeeded in getting
away without mishap. but the men did
not venture back for the remainder Of
their honey for some time. When they
did go back there was precious little Of
it left. for between the ravenous bears
and clumsy Knntz the honey had Jared
badly. How the bears succeeded in,
carrying the tubful of honey from the
rock ledge to the opposite side of the
ravire is Il puzzle TO Chamberlain, but
that they did the job and did t well was
shown by the fact that the tub was
moved and the trail along which they,
had carried it showed that little had
spilled and even this was probably
pulled out by the greedy cubs as their
parents rugged along with their burr,
den. This honey experience and the
bear convention which Chamberlain
saw last summer have convinced him
that Pine Greek bears are too smart for
Hmm. Y. Sun.

The Now Army Law.

The new law for the reorganization
OF the regular army does not change
the number of regiments. There will
still be % regiments of infantry, 10 of
cavalry, 7 Of artillery and the engi-
neer corps of one battalion. But a
regiment will now be divided into
three battalions of 400 men each
making it complement 1000 men in
stead OF 1000. Instead of % 900 men
the infantry regiments will contain
on war footing 3l,800 enlisted men,
the cavalry regiments $4,000, the ar
tillery lG,l57, the engineers five COM
panies, 1872 men. The regular army,
when on a war footing, viii thus con-
sist altogether OF 81 900 enlisted men.
For these $50 additional commits
stoned officers will be required. There
will be places now for all those am
bilious West Point graduates who
have been piping in inglorious tenn
porary retirement because there we're
no soldiers for them to officer.

The origin of the migration of birds is
that it began during the glacial period.
The earth being then covered at either
end with cap of ice, all life was con-
fined to a belt in the center; but the ice
recedcd little at certain seasons, leav-
ing an uninhabited space that afforded
the quiet and seclusion that all the
higher animals seek during the breed
ing period. The ba-ds went there &C
cordingly to rear their young, and, as
the ice receded further and further,
they migrated further and further.

A STARTLING MYSTERY.

@The report Of Commodore Dewey
upon the battle Of Manila proves
that the victory won there by the
American ships was vastly more de.
cisive than it was at first supposed.
There was never anything like it in
the world. Never did victor inflict in
open field more wholesale damages on
his enemy and escape with so little
hurt himself. The Spanish fleet
sunk, one hundred and fifty men kill
ed on the flag ship alone, not a man
lost among the Americans, and but
half dozen wounded!
%The records of engagements be-
tween troops carrying civilizations
firearms and savages armed with the
weapons of barbarism do not afford
the parallel of this. 1t viii remain q
mystery until more elaborate re-
port is received.
allow did one fleet, numbering six
vessels and mounting little over 100
guns, from S-inch, of which there
we're six, down to 1-pounders, meet
another fleet Of a dozen ships, backed
by forts on shore, and mounting
nearly 100 guns, from 6-inch to l.
Founders, and destroy it absolutely,
killing and wounding probably not
less than LOCO men?
"No ship in either feet was classed
as armored. Our superiority was
neither very great in the caiber of
the guns nor sufficiently great IN pro
lection to the gunners to admit of that
factor being for moment regarded
as the decisive one. Many of our
small guns were as devoid of protec-
ton as those of the Spaniards. One
would suppose that, on the pure
theory OF prof. ability, blind and un
aimed fire from the Spaniards would,
to some extent, have equalized the de-
struction. Yet the result was that
the Spaniards were shot asthongh
they had been formally led up for ex-
ecution. Even if they had been fast
asleep and Dewey's mon had stolen in
unseen and opened point-blank with
every gun at once, how the latter did
what they did remains beyond theo-
retical explanation. 1t looks rs
though the modern war-sNip ~ the
hands Of experts, highly trained and
heavily laden with sand such as
those manning the American navy, is
more Internal instrument than un-
informed humanity has imagined.
"Mystified "a we are, however, we
again send to our PHILIPPINE tara and
their gallant leader the congratula-
lions OF an apprec alive, and patriotic
nation. With the Stars and STRIPES
flying over Manila the sun never sets
