The Bear and the Mhcelmen.

Right in the middle of the track was q black bear. about four feet high and six feet long. We had never seen Bruln before outside of the Zoo or in the cage of a peramhulating menagerie. So we were lntcre Sted. md the interest took the shape of a tiGhtneSs across the chest ard quicknCSs of breathing such as you feel when easy and happy go-lucky in your mind. The bear WAS interested in Us, and evidently glad to See us. He gave q grunt, slowly wagged his head. and began to advance. At first we thought of amusing him by rem iuiscCnces of stale buns given to his species when We were younger and less callouS of heart. Yet we cooked our rcvolvorS In case there should be any dispIting the fact, though we knew a bullet from q SiX-shooter would have as much effect upon the hide of bear as Il peaShooter would have In wound Ing an elephant.
 Now, don't fire until he's within arms reach; then drive into his eyes or open mouth." That was the arrange ment.
 We halted ready for action. So did our friend the enemy, and we saw he was scanning us with scornful eyes. He moved to get a side view. He's funking 1t; he's frightened" we said, with lowered voice. By way of an. swer the bear came on four strides at trot. and up went the revolvers.

the human body comes to floating. Drop your arm loosely in the water and II will rest near the surface, buoy cd In is place by the pressure of the water. If Ii were not for the weight of the head in proportion of the weight of the body q man would swim aS eds fly and naturally as q horse or a dog. With these facts In mind, the good swimmer or HoIter keeps as much of his body under the surface of the water as he can. On the same prinei- ple swimmer nay keep himself atloat by holding a very small piece of wood in each hand. providing he allows him self to sink deep into the water in the position shown in the picture. Any boy or girl may readily test this plan. IL merely requires q little confidence in letting the body so deep into the water. X big Swede named Strpmhcrg. who made himself famous several years ago as a swimmer. well knew this plan. Sometimes in making long practice sWims he took with him compact pic''c of cork four or five inches square by about two inches thick. This he fastened to the back of his head by means of I small strap which ran around his nln. When he grew tired and needed rest he would turn on his back and sink deep into the water. The cork float under his head was al Most sufficient to buoy him up.

Sewing the Lips Of Cobras.

It bit the spoon repeated ly without yielding any, and on eXam, nation was found to have none tC yield. not only its fangs, but the pois- onous glands having been eXtlrpated. A protective operation still more cruel is sometimes practiced by noyiceS iu the art of charming, and consists In SC curing the mouth with a stitch of silk passed through the lips in front. r. perform this the poor beasts head i~ held tightly pressed to the ground by q short stick. on which the foot rests while the other foot restraints the wr1th- Ing body, leaving both hands at liberty for the needle. Eleven apparently healthy cohras were on one occasion received at the London Geological Gar dens. They refused to feed, and grew thin. When one died it was discovered that it's mouth was sewed up with stitches so fine as to be invisible to any but the closest scrutiny. The rest of them did quite well when they were restored to their normal condition.
 In connection with this subject may mention that n rattlcsnake was sent tu me from up country when I was in Demerara, with the history that 1t had killed coolie on one of the plantations. It had been badly Injured about the spine. probably in capture, so that on reaching me It was not only dead. but decomposed, and I was not able 10 make any very complete dissection, but I found that its lips were tied together with stitches-obviously the effort of an unpracticed hand, since the work WAS very coarse. This had apparently been preceded by an unsuccessful at- tempt to extract the long, erectile, nee dle-like fangs, for one of these was twisted half round with it's bony base, and had penetrated the lower lip when the jaws were forcibly closed. It is hardly possible that the duct was not occluded, but enough venom must have remained within the tube of the tiny, delicate syringe to infiict fatal scratch.

Passing of the Ten Table.

The old-faShioned tca-table Is hcroTn. In thing of the past, and an invitation to tea means nowadays, unless eSIe- clally defined, the informal o'clock tea which is hardly considered in the light of an entertainment being mere ly an excuse for receiving ones friends at stated hour. Some of the old faml- lies who make q point of keeping up their traditions have retained for Sun day evening the American 'tca"-a meal tnat is 10 most people rather q welcome change from the conventional and formal dinner, says the New York Tribune.
 It Is very seldom that one sees in these up-to-date days the old regula- ton tca-table with its dishes of cold tongue and cold chicken th!nly sliced, snowy biscuits, light as feather; golden butter, homemade preserves that are the pride of the house mls- treSS, and delicious cake made by her own fair hands.
