FOUND PLAYING WITH BEAR.
covered While CaRsssiag the Animal.

''The lost baby and the big black bear" furnished a Sabbath sensation in police headquarters at Dallas, Tex, that lasted Chief of Police Price and his men aA day. Lizzie, the three year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. A. Self, was suddenly missed by her parents late in the evening. They had left her playing on the sidewalk in front of the family home on Canton street. After searching for the child for an hour they notified the police department and 0 general search throughout the city was instituted. The theory of Kidnapping was about accepted by them as the hours passed with no tidings of the missing child.
 About seven o'clock in the morning two mounted officers riding through the section of the city park in which the zoo is located, discovered Lizzie seated in front of the-farge iron grated cage in which big black bear is confined. The child's feet and arms were extended inside the cage be- tween the bars of the structure, and the little one was gleefully pratthng to and betting the big brute.
 Lizzie was taken to headquarters and restored to her parents. Chief Price, who used to be Texas ranger, remarked to the child's parents and the newspaper men:
 'If that had been me, or one of the force had taken such liberties with Big Ben,' he would have ehewed an arm or leg of for us, to say the least. God took care of the baby"

OIL AS FUEL FOR STEAMER.
BOrneO 10 London Using Liquid Fuel.

The steamship Cowrie, which is dis charging a cargo of oil from Borneo at the Thames dock, steamed from Koetei, Borneo, to London, distance of 9,250 miles, using only liquid fuel. This was reduced to spray by steam jet at the furnace door. The owners say that the substitution of coal by oil proved most advantageous.
 Six stokers sufficed instead of Is. The speed was slightly improved and the bunker space was also economized, a ton of oil occupying but 34 cubic feet, compared with the 45 cubic feet taken up by ton of coal. fwenty-two tons of oil were daily consumed on this voy- age, as against 35 tons of coal con- sumed in former voyage
 Borneo oil Is declared to be excellent fuel, and is superseding the Russian and American product in the far east, as it can be delivered at 30 shillings ton in Hong Kong, 56 shillings in Japan and Colombo, and 80 shillings at suez.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

France makes nearly 26,000,0O0 pairs of gloves yearly, and of these 1s.0Oo,00 pairs are exported.
 An ingenious mechanical device pastes paper labels on 100000 cans in ten hours. Down a shoot rolls cease less procession of cans, and each can picks up label as it passes.
 Water, if subjected to great com pression and then decomposed by means of an electric current into it's clements, oxygen and hydrogen, ex- plodes with tremendous force in the process.
 An example of patient industry is the sorting of hogs bristles as it is carried on at Tientsin, China. Each one of the bristles has to be picked out, measured and placed in the. bundle of hairs of corresponding length.
 The Council of the American Chem ical Society has passed resolutions fa- voring the creation of bureau of chemistry. The laws of the various states controlling food adulteration are largely ineffective, because of the interference of interstate commerce laws, and can be made effective only through national legislation.
 More perfect combustion in furnaces is secured by MT. Paul Schlicht by novel means. He has discovered that on prop erly introducing an air current into a chimney, it takes course opposite to that of the hot gases, and its oxygen reaches the center of the fire in heat ed condition favorable for completely uniting with the fuel.
 Advantage is taken of different bands of porosity in agates to effect the col- bring, which is done in the case of black onyx by immersing the stone In a mixture of honey and water where it remains several weeks at high tenn perature. It is then boiled in sulphuric acid; which carbonates the sacchari- nous matter that has penetrated the stone, thus rendering certain bands an intense black. Various colorations may be produced by different chemical re- actions.
 The printing of books with Braille type for the benefit of the blind has made immense progress in England within the last few years. The Gen. tral Lending library, of Birmingham, has no less than 500 books printed with Braille type. This extensive library comprises the works of such favorite authors as Shakespeare, Browning. Sir Walter Scott, Tennyson and Ruskin. The Plymouth public library has also a similar collection of about 250 vol tunes, and numerous other libraries throughout,the country possess similar collections for the entertainment of those deprived of their sight.

TEN YEARS OF TALKING.
Mrs. Lucy Reeves for . Decade Bab- bIed Continually, and It Ff-
 naIIy Caused Her Death,

Mrs. Lucy A. Reeves, aged e1, who was sent to the insane asylum at Kala- mazoo, Mich, ten years ago from Lan- sing, died, a strange and unusual death the other day.
 She literally talked herself into the grave. For ten years her vocal effusions have been constant, no matter what time of day or night it was. A stream of words constantly came from her mouth and her shoutings became so disagreeable to her hearers thet she was placed in padded cell, where they could not be heard.
 As the woman grew older the habit seemed to grow on her, and her sy stem gradually weakened. Even in her sleep the babble continued. The other aft ernoon she had more violent talking fit than ever and her lungs literally ran ont of air.

BUILT HIS OWN sEpULcHER
Makes Preparations for His Interment.

Tn a grave built under his own di- rections the body of John Stivitch, an eccentric Austrian, was laid to rest at Jackson, Cal Long before death summoned Slivitch the latter designed his own grave, or, more properly speaking, tomb. He spent many days cheerfully drawing up the plans, and with childish delight su- perintended the construction of the narrow mausoleum. When it was completed he laid himself down to die with sigh of content, says a San Francisco exchange.
 The grave is of ordinary length and width and seven feet deep. Its walls are of concrete and concrete a foot thick lines the bottom. Twelve inches from the bottom were placed four iron bars, upon which rested the coffin. After the coffin had been lowered iron bars were placed in like manner and the same distance from the top, and over them was placed heavy zinc cover, fitting perfectly tight. Over this will now be placed a layer of concrete of the same thick ness as on the walls, and on top will be the marble bearing the name, place of birth, age and date of death.
 This manner of burial had been hobby with Stivitch for long time, and when he made his will he set aside $500 to cover the expense, the same being on deposit in bank of Amador county, to be turned over to the contractor on completion of the work and it's approval by a nephew, Andrew Perovich, who is named as executor in the will Stivitch was 73 years old, miner; had lived here many years and had many friends. He leaves an estate of several thou sand dollars, but no nearer relatives than the nephew named.
 The old man had no special disease, but had been failing for months. When told that the work on his pe- culiar grave had progressed as far as possible he remarked to Dr. Gall, his physician:
 Doctor, if you let me die tonight I will give you $100." But it was not to be. He lived eight days longer, during which time many citizens vis- ited the cemetery to inspect the rest ing place for all that was mortal of the odd old Austrian.

AN AERONAUT'S FEAT.
Accident Compels Him to Crawl
 from Gun in Midair.
Five ThOusand Spectators Witness the Thrilling SceRe-Eseapes from PeriIOus PRedicament with
 Only a Few Scratches.

High above the heads of 5000 spec tators at Binghamton, N. Y, man crawled from the mouth of cannon attached to. balloon, a mere speck against the sky. It was Q task ap- parently beyond human accomplish ment, and when he slipped on the smooth sides of the gun there was murmur of horror from the myriad of upturned faces, and several women tainted, but with one hand he grasped 8 rope, and for moment swung sus- pended 2,O00 feet above the earth. Then, by tremendous effort, be regained the tow of the cannon as the balloon and it's burden shot earthward. The man was Prof. R. J. Burke, of BlOssheld, Mich, and he came to BinghamtOn to make a series of ascsnsions at the Binghamton exposition. He was to be loaded into a cannon attached to the balloon, and when at the height of 5000 feet was to be fired from the gun at parachute hanging from the bal looms side, with which he was to de- scend. Shortly after starting he dis covered that rope had caught around the trigger which fired the cannon, and it would not explode. His only hope was to crawl from the inside to the top of the gun. Before this .:was ao- complished the balloon had gained a swift downward impetus, and, though he endeavored to tighten it, it struck in a tree in forest some miles away, and he was held prisoner in the tree top an hour and half before re- leased. He escaped with few scratches, but in those few moments he lived a lifetime of agony, and when he slipped from the gun he gave himself up as lost

Jack Rabbit Coming East.

The jack rabbit that before the war lived almost entirely on the sandy planis of the west is working it's way eastward. A few were seen, now and then, 25 years ago in western Kansas but now it has almost reached the Mississippi river. Until the plains were settled, MT. Jack Rabbit fed on the wild plants of the region, but with the breaking of the sod he got his first taste of corn. He concluded that corn was a more agreeable 6iet than cactus and sage brush, and he has been diligently working eastward, where corn is plentiful The jack rabbit does not multiply as rapidly aS the cotton tail, but he can hold bis own. The barbed wire fence must te a great source of comfort to him, too. for he can readily get through it hiE- self, while dogs and men and horses are delayed by it long enough to allow him to make his escape.-Little Chron< icle.

REAL LESSON OF CHRISTMAS.
There Can f3e No Love for God-Whleh L Unattended by Love
 for Man.

"Too often in our Christmas re- ligious observances is this thought al most entirely lost sight of, or not sufficiently emphasized" writes Ed ward Box in the Ladies' Home Jour nal. ~There can be DO Iove for God which is unattended with love for man. The final test of Christian life is not the worship of God, but always the love of man for man. If the message of Him whose birth we celebrate at Chris:Ea teaches us one thing ahove all others, it is not that that we shall try to do fer Him as a person, but that we shall seek 10 do for one another. That is know ing Jesus and clearly understanding Him. And wherever this true concep- tion of His life and teaching is reached. there we find men and wom- en thrilled with the passion for giv- ing. The little child wakes on Christ mas morning with it's heart full to overfowing with gladness, and by every gift in stocking, or beside era dle or bed, is taught anew the old, old lesson of love. Husband and wife, brother and sister, lover and sweet heart, friend and friend, as they re- ceive their gifts are reminded once more that love Is not 6 dream, but a reaIity-and a reality which grows more vital, more precious and more enduring with the years. The sick. in chair or in bed, as they open their Christmas packages, are almost recon ciled to loneliness and pain. The friendless, the poor, the outcast, the waifs on the streets; those who have sinned and seem shut out from God and from man, all begin to feel strange thrills of hope and renewed aspirations as they are taken up and enfolded in the richness and fullness of the Divine love as it comes to them through human love or attention on Christmas day. That is knowing Christmas in its highest and nobleSt sense; in it's truest conception; know ing it in that spirit from which we derive the surest happiness"

NEW PLAN IN FRANCE.
Labor Councils Created by the Gov ernmGnt for the Settlement of
 Industrial Disputes.

A dispatch to the New York Times from Paris says: A ministerial order of interest to Americans now, in, view ot the strikes in Pennsylvania, has just been issued by the French minister of commerce. This decree creates bodies to be known as labor councils, whose purpose it will be to settle disputes be- tween labor and capital.
 The councils are to consist of an equal number of workmen and em- ployers. but the workmen must belong to the recognized labor unions.
 This last clause is likely to create diff faculties, as the majority of French la borers do not belong to unions. If this defect can be overcome it is believed that these councils provide a ready means of settlement of labor disputes, thus avoiding strikes.

An AmiabIe Examiner.

Matthew Arnold's freedom from aus terity when it came to the ordinary happenings of life has been the sub ject of many anecdotes. As school ex- aminer he was especially amiable, per- haps too much so. Once he had class of girls to examine, aud gave them all good marks. A fellow inspector mo- ticed it, and objected that some of the girls must have been more clever than others. Perhaps that is so,'' said Ar mold, "but what could I do? You see, they are all such very nice girlS!"- Golden Days.

The Children's World.

This Is the time divine and dear,
 That takes the child to Eden's bower, And proves the fairies yet are here,
 And serve it well this happy hour; So ask in faith, dear little ones,
 And none your hope shall dare to mar, For To! the angels still look on,
 And still is seen the Christmas star! Behold the child on Christmas morn
 Awake to find the world his own, And he to this great kingdom born
 Where all he wishes for Is shown; How precious Is the pleasing sight,
 As sweet as peace that follows war; So then the angels sing at night,
 So then returns the golden star! William BrUnton, in Springfield (kaSs.)

LINC0LN'S BODY MOVED
Remains in Good State Of preser-
yation.
The cAsKET WAS OPENED
Features Still Recognized Thlry-sis Years
After nesth--Evefy Precaution Taken 10
Conceal the Fact Of the Removal.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 81 The re.
mains of Abraham Lincoln have been
moved to secret vault in the monu.
ment, where they will rest absolutely
secure from marauders or ATTEMPTS TO
carry them away. The exact time at
which the removal was made has not
been learned definitely, but il was
some time Monday night or early
Tuesday morning before daylight.
Every precaution had boon taken 10
keep the removal secret.
State officials and the workmen re-
fuse TO affirm or deny the report, hut
il is known from the very best au-
thority that the removal has taken
place.
Arrangements for the removal were
made when Robert Lincoln recently
made secret visit TO the tomb with
Governor Yates.
At that time 10 make sure that
ghouls had not disturbed it. the cnsket
containing the body was opened and
those present gazed upon Lincoln S
face 80 years after death.
The features were still prominent
enough TO be recognizable. The body
was shrunken, though still in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. The
fact that the casket was opened was
kept well guarded until today. when
ii was confirmed from practically an
undisputable source.
The task Of preparing the vanlt in
which the casket was to remain has
been going on since Mr.. Lincoln's Wis
ii. The last place Gov. Ytaes visited
before leaving on the trip on which
he is now OF was the Lincoln monu-
ment. He was alone and gave IN
structions about the work, which WAS
then in an advanced condition; in
fact. almost ready TO receive the body.
An opportune time was then awaited
for the removal. Since the body was
taken from the temporary vault in
which il had rested during the re-
bdilding ofathe monument it has re-
posed in the marble sarcophapus in
the crypt on the north side the
