STUFFED BLACK BEARS.

The Reason They Are Used as Signs
by the Furricrs.
The man who comes to New York
only once in ten years said lie could
not understand why the bears In Cen
tral park seemed so much more stuck
up than the rest of the animals, but
after lie had Travelled about town for
several days he saw through it. 1t was
because 90 per cent of the furriers in
town have chosen big black bear for
an advertising sign. Why the other an
iluals in tine ZOO should be so discrimi-
mated against puzzled the man not a
little. One day he asked a furrier
about il.
1T is because the bears last longer
than anything else" said the furrier.
"Of all the animals In New York |
don't know of any that have harder
time than those that stand outside fur
riers' stores winter and summer and
try to drum up trade for their employ
ers. It doesn't make any difference
what kind of weather comes along,
whether ii blows hot or cold, those fel-
lows have to stand at their post and
swelter or freeze. as the case may be.
Naturally all those changes are pretty
hard on their hide, and nona but bears
can stand the strain. Some furriers
have tried the fox, the lynx aud other
animals now and then at venture,
but they have mostly come back to the
bear as the most satisfactory of the lot.
They cost more too. A good stuffed
bear comes us high as So. but If II is
treated well he will last for twenty
five years. so that brings him down to
a comparatively low price after all."-

Good Reason For Giving Him Free

Refinement.

Refinement looks ever with disap-
proval upon needless waste and need
less extravagance. She carefully
counts the cost and makes the most
of all material brought to her hand.
Consideration for others has made her
watchful, and nothing in her charge
is squandered or wantonly consumed.
To vulgar ostentation she firmly re-
fuses the radiant light of her counte-
nance, but seeks instead the quiet
hooks, the retired haunts where dwell
those who know her true worth. The
spirit of refinement lives even with
those whose tastes are simple and pure,
who make no pretenses, whose faith in
humanity is strong and real. To those
endowed with kindly tact and genial
wit, who employ al means Of good
within their command, whose hearts
are touched by the grief and misery
around them and who are quick to see
and respond to others wants-with
these, too, the spirit lives. They who
entertain this guest are clean in mind
and person, and the motto hung upon
the spiritual walls of home is "Cleanlj
ness Is Next to Godliness."

posed that the lion had sprung too far
for his prey, that those upon whom he
alighted recoiled sufficiently to allow
him to reach the ground. and then the
pressure from both tanks and the rear
prevented him from escaping from his
strange captivity.
If the springbok travels in such
armies, how can those in the middle
and in the rear find food? In this wise:
Those in the front ranks, after they
have eaten greedily of the pasture,
gradually fall out OF the ranks to rest
and chew the cud. willie the hungry
ones in the rear come up, and so the

The Fragrant Heliotrope.

You may give i heliotrope. and not a
very large plant. as much water as you
give n geranium and think you are Civ
ing all that is required. Your plant will
fail to make vigorous and healthy
growth because it is not moist enough
at the roots. Examine 1t. and you will
find that the tiny roots have extracted
the moisture almost wholly. II not
given more water at once, some Of the
young and delicate roots are injured,
and the plant takes on diseased con-
dition. from which it often never re-
covers. Do not get the idea that the
soil in which heliotropes are grown
ought to be kept wet. Not at all. But
because 1t requires more moisture than
many plants. because 1t extracts more
rapidly from the soil, water should be
given oftener to keep the soil In the
proper condition.
