The Polar Bear,

The animal par excellence which the
hunter, the amateur arctic traveller and
the young explorer hopes and dreams
of killing is the polar bear. The reason
for this is the magnificent trophy
which the great white skin makes.
This feeling was no less strong centu-
ries ago than it is now, for we read
that one of the early Icelandic sea row
ers to Greenland quarreled with and
Killed his bosom companion because he
had slain a large bear instead of leav-
ing that honor to his chief. With the
modern repeating rifle the bear stands
no chance against the hunter no mat
ter under what conditions they may
meet. and if he is hunted in the native
way, with the assistance of dogs. there
is hardly more excitement than in kill
ing musk oxen, except for the wild.

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin of "A Curious Custom Observed
by bulgarian MasOns.


by Bulgarian MasOns.
Nine master masOns who were en-
gagged in building Il citadel in the time
of the VOivoid Aeagoe found ON re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en- to pieces during the night and was
lying in a heap of ruins in the ditch.
ManOl of Curtea, the head mason, in
formed his comrades one morning that
a voice from heaven had warned him
in his sleep the night before that their
laborS would continue to come to
naught unless they all swOre on that
very morning to immure in the struc-
ture the first woman, be it wife, moth
er, daughter or sister, who should ar
rive with the morning meal of one
or either of them. They all took the
oath, and the last man had hardly been
sworn when ManOlS own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast
The oath was kept, and the woman,
known in the legend as "FlOra of the
Fields" was murdered and her blood
and flesh Incorporated with the wall Of
masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masOns (the above scene is laid in Bull
garia), which survives to this day, tes-
titles to the vitality of the legend. To
insure the sOlidity of the houses they
build they measure with a reed the
shadow of the first person who passes
after the digging of the foundation
has been completed. When the foun-
datiOn is commenced, this reed is buried
under the first rock, usually the corner
stone

Old Maids and Climate.

The unenlightened frequently make
the mistake of thinking that lack of Op-
pOrtunity is responsible for the exist
ence of single women, but l lay most
of it to climate. The New England eli
mate is not conducive to matrimony
or even lOvemaking. And even after
the crucial moment has passed and the
single woman has drifted from girl
hood to spinsterhOOd, a cold climate,
raw winds, chill rains and snow tend
TO increase the loneliness of it. There
may be old maids in the south, but
never heard Of them being called by
that name. | have known some single
women, schOOlteachers, anywhere from
seventeen TO fifty, and some of their
grown boy pupils were eternaly and
perennially in love with them. A sin
gle woman who has made up her mind
not to marry has a hard time to keep
her resolution in the south, for she is
always asSailed to break it. The very
climate breathes love. All, there it is!
As | said, old maids are surely a mat
ter of climate.-Harper' Bazar.

LOndon's Highest Level.

The highest part of the city of Lon
don is the middle of Pannier alley, run
ming between Newgate street and
Paternoster row. Ben JOnson tells us
that in his day this was a stand for
tripe sellers and earlier still for bakers.
The exact spot is indicated on the east
wall by a stone monument consisting
OF a boy sitting upon a pannier, or
bakers basket, holding in his hand a
bunch of grapes. On the pedestal is the
following inscriptions:
When ye have sought the city round.
Yet still this is the highest ground.
Aug. o. 1888.
Were we to include Greater London
then Hampstead heath would be the
spot, for it is 424 feet above sea Ieyel.

CHARLOTTE Cuu 5.AAN.

Bitter Ending of the One Love Affair
of the Famous Actress.
Charlotte Cushman, the actress. was
in love but once in her life. She met in
Cincinnati, where she was playing. an
actor named Clark, with whom she fell
In love. Through her efforts Clark was
advanced to leading man in the COM
pany, and the course of true love ran
smoothly.
One night the actress met a strange
woman behind the scenes between the
acts.
The woman came up to her and ad-
dressed her thus:
You are Charlotte Cushman. the
great actress. Haven't you got enough
men to admire you without coming be-
tween man and wife and robbing me
of my husband?"
Your husbandw cried Miss Cush-
man, getting excited.
Yes. and you have taken or you are
trying to take him from me-" contin-
ued the ragged woman, looking Miss
Cushman full in the face.
who is your husbandY
Conrad Clark" replied the woman,
"the father of this child" pointing to a
half starved, thin little child in her
arms.
Miss Cushman started as if she had
been shot.
She went through her part that night
as usual-acted it splendidly-br
down the house; then, after the per-
fOrmance, she sent for Clark to come to
her dressing room. Clark knocked and
then opened the door She brought for
ward to him his wife and baby. who
had been waiting in the dressing room
to receive him.
Such a reception! Charlotte Cushman
never looked or acted so grandly on the
stage III all her life as she did that
night in her dressing room. She waved
Clark away with a greater majesty
than ever as Queen Catherine she
waved away Cardinal WOlsey. and then
going to her hotel probably she had a
good crying spell.
But she never loved again.
