A Bears Gratitude.

That beasts are sensible Of kindness
and remember it is proved by many
interesting incidents. The following
from the Home Monthly is a pleasant
illustration of benefits unforgotten:
A woodsman who was fond of pets
found a young cub bear in the woods,
half frozen and nearly starved, its
mother having probably been killed
by hunters He took the little orphan
home with him and it soon became as
playful as a kitten. Every night he
had a romp with it on the floor of his
cabin, and upon his return from his
days work in the woods the cub
would greet him with uncomfortable
delight that an affectionate dog dis
plays when his master comes home.
But as the bear grew older its wild
nature began to assert itself, in spite
of its fondness for its benefactor, un-
til finally one day 1t disappeared In
the woods and did not return. The
man hunted long and carefully for his
pet, searching every nook and ravlne
| for miles about his cabin, but with
out success. Two or three years after
| ward he was going through the wood
| to his work, unarmed, and without
| even his ak, which he had left the
night before at the place where he
was chopping. AS he was passing
through heavy growth OF young
eversreens an enormous female bear
rose up before him. Behind hel
were two cubs and the mother was
furious at having been disturbed, and
| mad with fear for the safety of he1
young. The chopper was utterly with
out means of defense, and even before
he had time to realize the extremity
of his position the bear was upon him
But Just as she reached him com
plete change came over her Instead
of attacking him she began licking hi
hand and rubbing affectionatel!
against him. She was his long-ios
pet, and had not forgotten him. Whel
he recovered from his fright sufficient
ly to go on toward his work the bea
went, too, and for more than mil
she followed him. Then. feeling, ap
parently, that she had done all tha
courtesy and her sense of gratitud
required, she left him and went bac
to her cubs.

To Rob Santa Claus.

The detectives were gathered
around the large table in their room
about z o'clock Christmas Eve, when
the door was pushed open and a boy
entered. He was about six years old.
The detectives thought he was lost

down his face were from fright. He
was almost frozen. Come in, little
fellow, and get warm." said Detective
Hickey. When the boy was warm he
asked him his name. Harry" was
the reply. Then Chief Sullivan asked

Belinda was the smallest cat
That ever you did see.
One day Belinda met a rat
Quite twice as big as she.
Now, what are you to do
When a rats as big as you?
Belinda said: "I'm not afraid
OF any rat alive.
I'd swallow any rat that's made,
Or two, or four or five."
Now, how could she do that
Such very little cat?
The rat replied: 'I never knew
A rat as brave as T.
But as for such cat as you,
I'll make you into pie
Did you ever see a rat
Dine on a pussy cat?
Belinda said: Superior cats
Think fighting only fun.
Just call lot of other rats;
I'll eat them, everyone"
| Now don't you think that that
| Was a most courageous cat?
Then other rats joined in the fight
Big, little, short and tall,

Follv of Fashion,

Almost from the dawn OF history |
wise men have looked on the world OF
fashion as the bitterest enemy, not
only to spiritual growth, but to intel
lectual development and to kindly reel
ing. OF course the wise men have been
and are right. Probably the influence
of fashion is intellectual rather than
moral or spiritual, and by this is meant
that it operates on the MIND ratner
than on the spirit-or at least on the
latter through the former. However,
this may be, the hardening, deadenlng'
and limiting effect OF the fashlonaoie
life is so pa1pable that it is recognized
by all who have not themselves been
spoiled by it. The difficulty about dis
cussing the qeustion in an effective
way is twofold. In the first place, those
that are in the social swirl are usually
so affected by it that they cannot un-
derstand what the critic Is talking
about. And in the second place When
they do-rarely-get glimpse OF the
meaning of his words, they are likely
to think that the criticisms are prompt
ed by the jealousy OF the critic. 10
| these influences may be added another
namely, that the criticisms do too
often come from people who would
give all that they have for social recos-
| milton, and are embittered because they
| do not receive it. Nevertheless, the
truth abides-and it must be spoken
whether it be needed or not. Philoso-
pliers. Christian and pagan, have dwN
| on the theme with the utmost impress
siveness. 1t has been the burden of re-
Tgious teacher and prophet. Luxury
soft living display, covetousness, the
lust of the eye and the pride of life
the Bible rings with denunciation o
these things. 1t is strange that Chris
tian people who pretend to belleve II
the Christian revelation, who go tt
church. who patronize religious institu
tions and who are taught in the mos
,lneouivocal terms that it is wrong t.
take thought for food or raiment, ar
the greatest sinners against what l
really the fundamental law of thel
own religion All this means that re
ligion is hardly more than an inciden
in their liyes-that it is itself sort c
fashionable thing, a mere adjunct t
worldly and often wicked lives. 1t
.. not necessary to explain how fashio
kills all the finer instincts and destroy
the spiritual power OF the soul. Thf
it does these things is enough to know
The wicked rivalry, the snobbish e.
trayagance and display, the sacrifice {
all that is good and true in the ma
race for social pre-eminence, the id
u and foolish talk, the gossip and bacl
biting, the loss of the sense of what
really important in life, the 1gnoran'
and intellectual poverty, and the decs

Names s. sn Evil.

Nothing is ever likely to shake the
naval superstition that ships named
after things that sting are doomed to
loss. Besides the Viper and Cobra, the
Serpent was lost with nearly all her
crew The Wasp was wrecked with
heavy loss off Tory Island, and sec
ond Wasp, a gunboat, disappeared IN
a typhoon, never to be heard of again
In consequence of this double disaster
to ships named Wasp, that name has
been struck out of the Admiralty list
of available names. In the past there
nave betn lost Rattlesnake, GadHy,
and Hornet Probably a new Viper ana
a new Cobra will be buidt, but should
ANYTHING happen to either OF them the
name of the other is almost certain
to be changed by the authorities In

How Plate Glass Is Made.

A stranger entering for the first
time a plate glass works at night; the
furnaces are closed, and the dull
sounds of the captive fire alone are
heard. From time to time a work
man opens the working hole to look
into the furnaces at the condition of
the glass; Suddenly the hour strikes;
the signal is then beaten on tha iron
stats which surround the furnace The
maneuyers begin with the activity and
precision of an artillery movement.
The furnaces are opened, the pots
seized, drawn out, raised in the air,
and moved directly over cast iron
table. The signal given, the pot is
inclined and the brilliant liquid falls
and spreads over the table like wax.
After having a roller passed over the
surface, and skilled eye looking for
defects, the plate is then taken and
quickly pushed into the oven, where
it is annealed by slowly cooling. The
operation is again repeated until the
furnace is entirely emptied of its
charge. The process of taking 1t out
of the oven is less dramatic than the
casting, and yet it is striking to see
twelve brawny workmen, with no
other help than leather straps, raise
and carry this large, thin, fragile glass
upon it's edge, walking in step like
drilled soldiers, from the annealin
ovens to the racks, where 1t is now
; ready for the next process-the grind
ing and smoothing. The glass is now
rough and opaque, and must undergo
the processes of grinding and smooth
ing to bring the surface to perfect
pIape and give 1T satin-like finish
necessary to its successful polishing
The grinding is done by the use OF d1f'
ferent grades of sand, using from the
coarsest down to the very finest grain
\The smoothing is then completed by

An Amazing Alphabet.

The editor OF the japanese Daily

explained that the setting In type OF

about $4,000 type characters are re-

Imagine an alphabet of over 5o,ooo

that the fitting of the composing room
of a Japanese newspaper is cosby
affair, and also that very large estao-
lishment is required, and numerous
staff to deal with the operation OF Sc
ting up' the paper for the press. AS
matter Of fact, in the case OF the
japan Daily News. the type is stored
round the walls of very spacious
room. every available inch OF wall
space being occupied with cases OF
type. The process OF composing Is
divided into two operations. FIRST
of all the manuscript is given out
among a staff of some fifty boys, who
are specially expert in the art OF find
ing the necessary types among the So
900 from which they have to choose.
COPY in hand, the boys run round the
room picking out the types with great
skill. A glance at a Japanese news
paper with its thousand of Chinese
hieroglyphics, many of which to the
urOracticed eye appear exactly SINH
lar. will convince one of the keenness
of vision required for performing THIS
work.
when all the necessary characters
have been found the boys take them u
the compositor proper, who, with thu
manuscript before him, inserts thu
necessary 'syllabics' and sets up th'
COPY. From this point the process il
