HARD SCHOOLING.
The Pioneer of Colonial Days Was
Trained to Become a Man
of Iron.

AS soon as pioneer boy was big
enough to level a rifle, he was given
powder and ball to shoot squirrels.
After a little practice he was required
to bring in as many squirrels as he had
received charges, under penalty of Sc
we're lecture, or even Of having his jack
ct tanned At the age of 10 the boy
became a fort soldier, with loop-hole as
signed him from which to fight when
the settlers rallied against an Indian
foray. Growing older, he became a
hunter of deer, elk, buffalo, and bear,
skilled in trailing and in utilizing cover,
capable of enduring long marches
through trackless mountain forests. At
night he was content to curl up in a
single blanket beside small fire, and
sleep under the roof of heaven. If it
rained, in few minutes he built him a
lodge of bark or boughs, with no imple-
ment but his one-pound tomahawk. In
cessant war with the Indians taught
him to be his own general, to be ever on
the alert, to keep his head and shoot
straight under fire. Pitted against an
enemy who gave no quarter, but tor
tured the living and scalped the dead,
he became himself stanch fighter who
never surrendered. The wilderness
bred men of iron, and probably con-
tanned a greater number of expert rifle
men than could now be mustered in all
America.-Harper's Magazine.

the horse actually didn't care for it.;
he drew his head back from the touch.
May be he was doing when the man
touched him, and so drew back me-
chanically, but I thought he didn't like
the familiarity, and thought that was
all right, but I was a little piqued a
moment later, when, as passed him,
the horse drew his head back from me;
he had been touched by the man ahead !;
he feared repetition of that action on
my part, and he drew his head back to
avoid it. He didn't distinguish between
me, who would never have dreamed of
disturbing him, and the man who had
intruded upon him; in fact, he APP
peared not to recognize my remarkable
refinement at all; he simply regarded
me as he did all the rest

Queer ENGLISH MAYORS.

A story is told of former mayor of
Birmingham, England, that he gave or
ders to have his robes of Office lined
with "vermin." When the late Alder
man Surge was mayor he received a
royal command to dine and sleep at
Windsor. This, of course, meant court
dress and sword. The court dress was
reluctantly submitted to, but as mem
Der of the Society of Friends, and,
moreover, one who had greatly dis
tinguished himself in the cause of
peace, for he had formed one of the
peace deputation to the car before the
outbreak of the Crimean war, Mr..
Surge would not consent to wear a
lethal weapon. A compromise was
happily effected. A scabbard and hilt
of the usual kind were at his worship's
side when the presentation to royalty
took place, but the sword was mere
lath of wood. Fortunately, the worthy
Quaker was not called upon to draw in
defense of his sovereign.-Clevelan
Plain Dealer.

signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cousin
to lockwood, but poor relation, as it
costs about half as much as do the
symphonies in polished greens and
browns. 1t has the same finish, the
same designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness of Lockwood, al

ccptible to the person perfectly sane

thusiast can tell the difference in the

The pale-tinted American pottery is
highly polished and the flowers of the
decoration seem to bloom mistily
through the glaze, like flowers seen
through frosty window-pane. A
high-shouldered jar of this ware is
softly shaded from palest blue at the
top, where it forms background for a
graceful rose-hued iris, the long, pale
green stems of which stand out deli
cately against the misty gray below.

Hey, you fellows up there!" he con-
tinued, once more hailing the queer
looking crew, .parlez vous Francois?
Il say, don't you know your own Lam
guage?"
Still no answer, and what was worse,
the heads began to disappear from the
rail, one after another, as if not caring
to notice us further.
"Well, that is COOL" said Ben; "but
Pm going aboard of her, whether they
want me or not. This thing must be
cleared up-so here goes!"
He clambered up the ships side and
looked over, then quickly ducked his
head and came down faster than he had
gone up.
The next moment monstrous white
bear sprang upon the bulwarks, hold
ing in one Of his big paws the boat
steerer's cap, just missing the wearer's
head.
"Bears!" cried Ben; "the deck is alive
with them, and they are the fellows
that have been looking at us. There
isn't a man aboard of her. Why, that
old chap up there wasn't three feet
from me as looked over. He's got my
cap, and he just grazed my scalp with
sweep of his paw. He struck out like
lightning"
Two other bears followed the first,
evidently excited by what had taken
place, and now there was an ominous
growing. We. drew back hurriedly.
Ben, however, would have tried his
harpoon, had we not restrained him
from the dangerous act. The white
monsters were too many for us, and we
could only return to camp as. speedily
as possible.
Our shipmates were greatly excited
by our story, and all hands presently
set out with us for the scene of our ad-
venture. AS we reached the spot not
an animal was visible, but we had hard
~ mounted the bulwarks when per-
feet stream of big, scrambling paws
came pouring out of the main hatchway
and tumbling over the opposite side of
the ship. There were 10 of them-four
more than we had bargained for-but
our superior force appeared to terrify
them. Ben Maybrook killed one of the
largest; but all the others escaped, and
we were glad to see them go.
An examination of the French whaler
showed that the bears, as our men re-
marked, had been Giving high" They
had torn off the main hatch, which per-
haps had not been fastened down, and
having once got into the hold, had
worked with tooth and claw upon the
barrels of provisions which they found
there, till the contents were arrived at.
To our great joy, we discovered that
the vessel, which at first must have
been solidly frozen in, was now almost
afioat. She had, aswe found from her
papers, been abandoned eight months
previous, yet she seemed perfectly
tight. The ice continued to break up,
and fortnight later she was in open
water.
Being once more in possession of q
good ship, with nearly full cargo of
oil, we made sail out of the Arctic, ar
irving in due time at San Francisco,
where we had good reason to be salts
fed with the award of the marine
court, which allowed us a generous
amount of salvage. But I think we had
very fairly earned it.-Golden Days.

Yet still she dimpled on the stile
