Bears, Bears, Deer an Channels Have
Been Exterminated.
Switzerland will soon be entirely
free of wild animals if the rate of ex-
tinction that has prevailed of late is
maintained. In the official archives of
Zurich are records of the various
KINDS Of beasts that once existed in the
land of the Red Cross. Evidences of
beaver life have been found on the
shores of Lake Morat, the bones and
skeletons being fully six centuries old
One of the tributary streams which
feed the lake is called Beaver Brock,
the title being due to it's former in
habitants. That the name is old is
shown by the fact that no beavers
have lived in Switzerland since the
twelfth or thirteenth CENTURY. Brown
bears were plent iful in the mountain
lands until the seventeenth century.
The last one killed of which there is
any official know. edge came to his end
in 1893 in Barbereche. NOWADAYS the
bears are raised in Berne for various
show purposes. Deer were more than
plentiful in the highlands in olden
times, but they were cleaned out pref
~ well LII 1d1o " I6oO ueTo IS a
record in the Swiss archives that a
deer was seen in the woods in 1871,
but it was apparently far from it's
own stamping ground. Up to the sew
enteenth century wolves were such
plaques that several cantons offered
substantial premiums for their heads
and skins. 1t took ages to chase them
off the plains, and fully 100 years more
Not live wolf has been in Switzer-
land since 1887. The lynx disappeared
about the same time. Wild boars were
in the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries, but none has been
encountered since 1880. A few wild
cats are reported to have been shot
since 1891, but the authorities doubt
the authenticity of the reports. No less
than seven prominent kinds of quad
rupeds have been exterminated in
Switzerland in five centuries, not to
the world-famouus wild goats
or chamois. A few of the beautiful
are raised and kept by the
landlords of some of the leading re-
sorts to maintain the impression that

are so arranged that they rise or fall

duty. He also took an active part in
the Pastors College, for which his col
lege experience fitted him. At the
Orphanage, too, his visits were ever
welcome. His voice was not strong
enough to be heard in the vast audi
torium of the Tabernacle, but he could
not be satisfied without preaching. He
therefore accepted the pastorate of
church at West Croydon, which is
within a short distance of London. He
has labored there for nearly thirty
years, and with marked success. His
brother used to say that he would
never have been able to continue his
work without the efficient help he had
from his brother James, who, by his
tact and devotion, relieved him from
SO much responsibility and left him
free for pulpit work. After Charles
death, DR.. Sturgeon continued to work
both in the college and the orphanage,
while keeping up his pastoral charge
at Croydon.

IAN OF THE FEOfLt.
-OUBET IS THE LINCOLN OF
FRANCE.
HIs Modest bearing During the Election

Friends-His Aged Mother Still Works
on the Farm.

Emile Loubet is the Lincoln of
france. He is a man of the people
ind a son of the soil. His father 1as
small farmer, almost a peasant, and
lis aged mother still works on that
arm. Unlike other Presidents OF
France, he is neither a. half-hearted
nonarchist nor a representative of the
apitalistic upper-minded classes. He
a man who thinks a republic the
only form of government possible in
france. 1t is remarkable that such a
nan should have been eleeIed when
he prospects of imperialists, royalists
nd other adventures seemed brighter
han they had been for twenty years.
It seems republicanism is under the
,rotection of the Divine Providence or
Common sense. One incident of this
illustrates charmingly the humble orr
gin and unaffected ways of the new
President. His first act after he was
elected was to send a telegram to his
mother, who is now sc years old, but
till capable and able-bodied. The
bostman who delivered the dispatch to
aer found her in the poultry yard OF

PERSONALITY OF A REMARK
ABLE MAN.
His Sudden Death, While Alone in
English Railroad Compartment, Has
Caused Deep Sorrow-Was Brother
of the Late C. H. Spurgeon.

The cable brings a statement that
DR.. ]. A Spurgeon, the brother Of the
late Pastor G. H. Sturgeon, was found
dead in a railroad carriage. 1t is
presumed that he was attacked by
apopleXy while alone in the compart-
ment, and died while the train was
speeding to its destination. The de-
ceased clergyman was sixty-two years
of age, having been born three years
after his more famous brother. lie
was educated for business life, but
after his brothers entrance to the
ministry he decided to make that his
own calling in life. He entered Re
gents Park College, where he won an
excellent reputation as a scholar. His
first charge was at Southampton, but
as his brothers church grew to so en-
ormous size, he was persuaded to go
to London to help Charles in his pas
toral work.
AS the membership of the Tabernacle
was over six thousand, he had constant
occupation in visiting the sick and at
tending to other matters of pastoral

A Non Reliable Bottle,

The inventive mind has for years
been hard at work trying to perfect a
Reliable bottle, by means of
which it will be impossible for imita-
lions or authorizations of wine, beer,
patent medicines, and the like. to be
sold in bottles bearing a given brand.
That these limitations and adultera-
lions have been sold is the reason for
the demand among manufacturers for
a non-refillable bottle. Many at
tempts to supply this want have been
made during the past five years The
latest is the invention Of George Tur-
rell of Paterson, n. J., who has con-
structed what he calls spool stop-
per. This rests in the neck of a bot
tie, and while It lets the contents
flow out it effectual1y prevents the en-
trance OF liquids. No amount Of pres
sure from the outside will force liu-
uids through the stopper When this
is attempted, suction created at the
base Of the stopper drives the liquid
out again Should more power
full pressure be applied, the result
would be the breaking OF the bottle.

The rising sun had scarcely kissed
the snow-capped hills that surround
our peaceful city last Saturday morn
ing when an awful tragedy occurred
on one of the most public thorough
fares. The whip-like crack of a rifle
sounded on the clear morning air and
leaden messenger of death crashed
through the brain of a human being.

bullet had been sent upon its deadly
mission by a hand that a few hours
before clasped his victims hand in
friendship. One now lies in the cold
embrace of death and occupies a

the other languishes in the county jali

as he awaits the outcome of the trial

PRINCE FERDINAND.
WILL NOT MARRY, AND AUS
TRIA is EXCITED
The Decision Leaves the Throne Be
WiIled by Him a beloved Nephew.
Son OF Archduke Otto Hungary
Would Object.

According to a cable dispatch from
Vienna the Archduke Franz F'erdI
nand, nephew of Emperor Franz Josef
and heir to the throne of Austria-H Hun
gary, has announced that it is his
final determination not to marry, and
that he wishes the succession to pass
at his death to Karl, the 12-year-old
son of his brother, the Archduke Otto.
This news is certainly surprising, and
for various reasons. 1t is interesting
to learn that the Archduke Franz Fer
dinand has determined to remain a
bachelor. Europe was amazed some
time ago at the rumor that he had
married woman very much beneath
him in rank, and assuredly great will
be its pleasure at learning beyond the
shadow of a doubt that there was no
truth in the rumor Whether Europe
will be equally pleased at learning
that the heir to the throne of Austria
Hungary is resolved never to marry
is another question. After all, how
ever, it is not easy to see how the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand can have
any voice in the matter of the success
sion. Emperor Franz Josef is still

Chinese ArrOgance.

It is not realized in England how
proud, indeed arrogant, the Chinese
are. The idea that any other race is
equal to their own is one that can
not find place in their brains They
believe all foreigners to be a sort of
savages. They look at European men
and women mixing together, and be-
lieve that these savages have no NOR
ais, but live in a rough sort Of promis-
Guilty. They look at our dress, our
men with short coats and neither gar
ments showing their two-legged forms,
our women actually indicating their
waists and much of the outline of
their figure, and they believe we are
without decency. They do not see us
observing their ceremonial, and they
believe we are without manners. A
recent minister, accredited to Ger
many, was talking to Sir Robert Hart
latter's regretting his lonely condi-
ton without his wife, said to him:
"Ah, but, of course, you have a num-
Der two" Sir Robert proceeded to ex-
plain that such course was impossi-
BILE to him, as it would make his wife
very angry, and, indeed, arouse the
sovereign displeasure of his queen The
Chinese diplomatist patted him good
on the shoulder, saying:

with us you may become more civ
ilized. Correspondence ST. James
