William Allen, who lives few miles
from Union, n Broome County village,
owned a fine barn, three valuable
horses and tame bear few weeks
ago. Now he has everything except
the barn, thanks to the bear. The
bear was three years old, and of the
common black variety. He had been
with Mr.. Allen since he was cub,
and got gay with the horses, gam.
boiling about them after the manner OF
big dog. One day Mr.. Allen went
to Binghsmton, and in his absence a
heavy thunder storm came up. Light
ming struck tie barn and set it on fire.
Mrs. Allen opened the doors and sue
ceeded in loosening the horses, but
could not get them started.
''Jocko," who was about the place,
waddled to the scene of trouble, and,
realizing the difficulty, entered the
burning barn, driving the horses out
before him by means of teeth and
claws. Three times he entered the
blazing barn, each time coming ont
with a horse, and he had scarcely
brought the last animal into the open
when the roof fell in.-New York
Press.

Among the many products of civil
ization which were familiar to the
Chinese many centuries before they
came into use in Europe may be rerk-
onel bank notes. There is Mt this
moment in the possession OF 'the old
Lady in Threadneedle street II speri-
mon supposed to be one of the old st
extant, dating from the fourteenth
century of our era. 1t is now proved,
however, that paper money was issued
in China rs early as S07 A. ID. Theses
securities closely resembled the ia
nous French nssignats in he 'ng based
upon the estates of the kingdom. The
Bank Of Stockholm claims TO have
been the first Western institution to
adopt paper currency, but the Bank
OF England must have followed very
close with its E20 notes, which were
issued in 1896. London Chronicle.

Ores sing II Salad.

The author of "Wild Flowers of
California gives an entertaining ac-
count of how the Indians prepare for
food plant that is commonly called
Indian lettuce. 1t will be recalled
that formic acid takes its name from
the red ant, and that the acid was first
obtained from the insect. The ar-
count is as follows:
'"The Placer county Indians greed
lily eat the succulent leaves and stems
OF their lettuce. Their way of pre-
pairing the food is novel. Gathering
the leaves, they lay these about the
entrances to the nests of certain large
red ants. The ants. swarming out,
run all over the plants. After time
the Indians shake the ants off the
leaves, satisfied that the lettuce now
has pleasant sour taste, elualling
that which might be given it by Vine
gar. "-Youth's Companion.

The Roses of China.

In no country in the world has the
rose been brought 10 such perfection
as in China. The emperor's rose gar
dens are magnificent, and the revenue
yearly obtained from the sale of oil of
roses and rosewater forms very large
addition to the imperial Golfers. Only
mem bers OF the imperial family, no5i.
ity, military dignitariss and few other
notables are allowed to have altar of
roses in their dwellings, and very Sc

binary citizens in whose possession
even one drop of the precious essence
is found. Originally only two kinds
of roses were known in the Flowery
Land-the white and the red moss
roses = and the smaller they were the
more highly were they valued. The
leaves are greatly priced as amulets.

To Paint n Portrait of Dewey.

The State of Vermont is to be hon.
ored with the first portrait of Admiral
Dewey painted by an American artist
on American soil. Thomas w. Wood
has received the commission and i'm
mediately after the Admiral of tho
navy has been welcomed in the harbor
of New York he will pose for a pic
ture, which, when finished, promises
to remain in history as famous rs that
Of Farragut on the Hartford. The
artist is fellow citizen of Admiral
Dewey. Both were born in Mont
pelier, vt. The neighborliness of the
families was such that when Mr..
Woods reputation as a portrait pain
ter became established he was com.
missioned to paint a picture of DR..
Dewey, father of the Admiral. That
was in October, 1885, and the paint
ing is hanging to-day in the Office OF
Charles Dewey, the Admiral's brother.
Thus 1t came about that Mr.. Wood
suggested to himself the timeliness of
putting on canvas the face of the man
who won such great victory and told
of it so unpretentiously that he at
once became the idol OF the American
people.

Among the pictures in the collection
of the late Duke de Talleyand Valen-
cay and Sagan, which are now being
sold at auction in Paris by the admin
istrator of his estate, is the Del Piombo
portrait Of Columbus, which was kind
ly loaned by the Duke OF Talleyrand
for exhibition in the Convent of La
Rabida with the other Columbus por-
traits at the Worlds Fair. Although
there is no direct evidence that the
portrait is genuine, there is no doubt
that Sebastian del Piombo, the emil
nent artist, whose signature it bears,
had the opportunity to paint Column
bus if he had been so disposed. Piom.
DO lived from 1885 to 1547. At the
time of the death of Columbus he was
about twenty-one years old, and was
just beginning to make himself known
in the world of art. His family was
distinguished. He travelled in Spain
under the favor of the church and the
ambassadors from Genoa and Naples,
and if he did not paint Columbus from
life he might have done so from men,
DRY. His work is we'll known. There
are examples in all the great galleries
of Europe, and his signature, "Sebas-
tian do Venetus Faciebat," is familiar.
The Columbus portrait has hung for
more than a century in the chateau Of
Valencay, Department of Tndre,
France, and formerly belonged to the
famous Talleyrand.-Chicago Record.

(limhel Il Tree to Get IL Fish.

1t is not often that fine brook trout
are picked from trees, but this was
the experience of George W. Aldrich
of Norwich. Mr.. Altlrich had gone
trout fishing, and, while whipping n
brook not far from Chenango Lake,
had the misfortune to catch his line in
n tree. In his efforts to disentangle
it he broke the line, leaving smell and
hook, with grub attached, dangling
from the limb. The following day he
went over the same fishing ground and
was surprised to find fine trout
weighing a pound and quarter dang
ling from the line. 1t had jumped
from the water TO catch the grub, i.nd
was still alive. Mr.. Aldrich climbed
the tree, obtained his fish and had it
fried for supper. New York Press.

After Killing Nine Men Chief Was Put
Under ~ Marble Monument.
A long time ago boy in Charlotte,
N. c., sat up to see the circus come in.
A vicious ola elephant, Chief, was be.
ing let ont of his car. He took sud-
den tit of anger against his keeper,
man of the name Of King, and just
mashed him against the side of the
car.
King gasped out: "Turn Mary
loose!' and died. Mary was the
mother of the herd. Chief started on
the run, tlumpeting with fury, and the
people that had come to see, scattered
like sparrows. Mary pursued and
caught up with the runaway in the
courthouse square. She tore the
handle ont of the town pump and be-
labored Chief with that till she got
him back to the show. What he saw
then scared that boy Of elephants. He
now has the contract for supplying
1925 worth of hay and feed for the
horses and elephants Of the circus,
and he it was who said to the writer:
'Look ont for that fellow. He's
got record of nine men. Unless
you'd like to make the tenth"
'But'old John! Why, there wasn't
a bit of harm in old John, was there,
John. Nice old fellow. Shake hands.
Pretty big hand, isn't it? Want to see
if there are any peanuts in my pocket?'
II gave one the horrors to see the
great gray serpent of trunk winding
about the mans waist.
Every year, when this show goes to
Charlotte, all hands take day off and
go in procession to the cemetery, the
band playing Chopin's funeral march
and the elephants shutting in the lead.
Chief isn't there, because they had to
kill in Cincinnati. He got too wicked.
There is an elephant carved on the big
marble monument. The elephantmen
take their chances every minute of hav-
ing one like it for $40 month and
board At the end of every season
they promise themselves and each
other that they will never look at an
elephant again. But when the time
comes for the show to come out of
winter quarters, and the performers
meet to practice and work off the
winters fat and stiffness, the bull men
show up, too. At least one of them
comes of good family and has a col
lege observation-disclosures Wood, in
