Mr. Harvest Mouse came home and
rubbed noses with bis wife with
grave and anxious air, for he brought
bad news from the corn close by. The
hawk had come and caught their kind
ly neighbor, Mr.. Field Mouse. But this
he said quite gently, sitting close to
Mrs. Harvest Mouse, lest the little ones
should hear. "Ah," she said and heav-
ed a sigh, "how glad am we chose the
long, stiff grass in the hedge bottom
rather than the corn in the fieldv
Yes said he; 1--WE did well to choose
the hedge bottom" And with that he
ran about the nest and counted his
eight children anxiously and scolded
them a little and then went a-hunting

night came down and settled on the lit

netter Than Rubber Heels.

Every one knows that when soldiers
cross a bridge they are ordered to
break step so that the regular vibration
of so many feet shall not endanger the
safety of the structure. An army sur
geon of France discovered that the
brain jar due to long marches in regu-
lar step is as trying on the human
frame as such marching is on the struc-
ture Of a bridge. To the regular repeti-
ton of a shock to bones and brain
caused by this uniform and long con-
tinued marching are due the peculiar
aches, pains and illness of the troops.
On one day march, he says, this
shock is repeated 10000 times, and Of
ten the strongest men who can walk
the same distance without trouble
when not In line succumb to the strain
In two or three days. Therefore this
surgeon proposed as a remedy the use
of rubber heels This device has been
tried in the French infantry with great
success.
But our army has a better plan than
that. We simply break step with the
command route STEP" At this gait
the men march in columns of tours at
the rate of to 31a miles an hour. They
carry their pieces at will, keeping the
muzzle elevated. They are not required
to preserve silence nor to keep the step.
And that's why the American army
doesn't wear rubbers.-New York Press.

4 MUTUAL SURPRISE.
The Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grfzzly.


Hunter and His First Grfzzly.
In Sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred
in the woods near the site of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke, it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating return to his hotel
several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and. cracking
noise from a clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked a grizzly bear, monarch
Of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
ly was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 20 PAGES when female bear fol-
lowed him, and an instant later a third
grizzly followed her at slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
80 yards Then, scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet and
uttered frenzied yell-yell upon Yell
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her. gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads Of
rock going down a shoot" straight for
the chaparral again. the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-.
treating, sprang to his feet and fed at
top speed for the hotel, leaving hat and.
gun behind The truth Of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks of differ
ent sizes found in the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit

cnrions Medical Case.

A curious case occurred in one of the
Paris hospitals which excited much
comment in medical circles. Some
time ago a woman named Legros, 90
years of age, was found lying in the
road in state of insensibility and abb
solutely rigid. She was removed by
the police to the hospital, where for
three weeks she remained in the same
state. The doctors then decided that
she was dead and had been so since
she was found, the preservation of her
body being due to the amount of alco-
hol she had imbibed.

Jun,ter warmer Than the Earth.

Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth.
The gigantic mass of Jupiter has
much larger warmth than that Of the
earth. 1t is the result of the molecular
movement produced by the compress
sion of the strata and must be greater
the more powerful the masses, and
hence the larger the pressure Of the
strata is. Jupiter surpasses the earth
in point of mass 30T times, and for this
reason the inner temperature OF. tndl-
vidual warmth of the planet is proba-
bly, high enough to evaporate the water
upon the surface quickly, so that water
yapor forms the principal substance OF
the atmosphere of Jupiter Water va
por is an excellent reflector and readily
accounts for the bright radiation Of
light emitted by the planet.-Professor
Hughes in Chicago Tribune.

TIE LARuRNuM TREE.

The slim laburnum has no fellow
Can match her tresses long and yellow,
Although in gown as gayly green
The cassia may today be seen.
Soon shall her long gold hair be coiled.
So close the widest wind is foiled
That fain would loose those amber tresses
To catch the sunlight in gold iesses.
There may be summer trees as fair,
But none can rival her gold hair;
Not evening primrose that will come
In June or bright chrysanthemum.
Vowed to November, when the leaves
Are red and swallows quit the caves.
Now It's midday, and through the town
Laburnum Ger her grass green gown
Shakes her gold locks and fills the air
With the gold glimmer Of her hair.
Shorn and forgot In June twill be,
But now she stands golden tree.
