Field and Stream.-As an animal
the bear is the type of rugged strength
and innate ferocity. For years the
wild bears of the Yellowstone park,
protected. fed and petted, have done
their share toward disabusing the pub
lie mind of this idea. That no one
has been injured at the park by these
wild bears, which feed around the no.
tells, is rather singular when one
comes to thiak OF the matter, for GER
tainly liberties have been taken with
these animals, tame as they have be-
come.
Perhaps in the future people will be
more careful, in view of the startling
news which comes in a Gardiner,
Mont, dispatch, under date of Oct. Z.
II seems that Charles Wilson and his
son, who lived near the Lake hotel,
heard a noise in the meathouse and
going out to investigate the matter
found that two large cinnamon bears
were in the building. Perhaps the
men undertook to drive out the bears.
In any case, the latter attacked them
and killed them both. The two men
were employ es of the Lake hotel. At
tempts are said to have been made to
suppress the news OF this incident.
II would be far better to spread the
news Of 1t and to each the people that
powerful wild animal is something
not TO be trifed with.

answer. What an evening this was,
Ito be sure. Anna Maria, who took
the most serious view of the world,
who hated nothing more than sentt
mentality and moonlight reveries, was
running about the garden, moved to
tears by little song. They were all
incomprehensible to me today-Klaus,
Susanna, and Anna Maria, but es-
pecially the latter. How could l talk
to her about Susanna today? l had to
keep my discovery to myself; the
best thing | could do would be to GO
up myself to Susanna and ask her,
for we should hardly assemble about
the round table in the sitting-room
this evening, and Anna Maria would
hardly be in the mood to read alond
the evening prayers as usual. And
Klaus? No, | would not see him at

when his voice would have lost its
sultry summer-night cadence, it was

was lighted only by the moon, and

On the Barren Cliffs of Egypt ceTibacy
Was Born.

CentTry.-It is easy to comprehend
on these lonely barren cliffs why
Egypt has been the birthplace AMI
nursery of monasticism. Recent dis
coveries have revealed the fact that
this existed before Christianity; for
there was a community of ascetics in
the Serapeum of Memphis in the
fourth century B. c. During the per
secutions under Severus, Decius and
other Roman emperors what was more
natural than that well-known Chris
tains should fly from the populous
towns and green fields of the Delta
and Nile valley to take refuge in
mountain caves, near to some little
oasis, placing many leagues of barren
wilderness between them and their
tormentors? Food might be scarce,
but water was assured to them; and
in those circumstances MARRIAGE with
the prospective care of young children,
would be highly undesirable, or, as ST.
Paul puts it, not good for the present
Distress
What was at first q necessity came
to be looked upon as virtue; a false
conception of Gods character as that
of hard taskmaster was engendered:
one of our Lords sayings and certain
passages of st. Paurs Epistles, isolat-
cd from their context, was interpreted
without any reference to the rest of
the holy writ. as a prohibition of mar
rage to the followers of the Christ
Thus a new yoke harder than that of
Judaism was fabricated; holiness was
supposed to consist largely in outward
observances. and modification of the
flesh was put on a level with sanctifi-
cation Of the spirit. Asceticism was
taught to the Latin church by Athana-
sius, the great pope of Alexandria,
luring his six years exile In the
land of his birth it took such a deep
cot that in the fourth century o. tray
eler named Rufinus found that the
whole population of Oxyrhychus had
become monks and nuns, each sex oc-
cupying separate quarter of the
town.
The process of fight from the city
to the caves must have been often re
peated during the period of Moslem
misrule and to this we probably owe
the preservation of many valuable
manuscripts, for neither the most dar.
ing of Mameluke soldiers not the mos
hloodthirsty of Mohammedan street

and her complexion was fresh as a
flower. Anna Maria had made her
toilet with especial care today; she
was the picture OF typical north
German woman, tall, fair, slender,
and clear-sighted, serene, and calm.

that Susanna Mattoni has been over,

now there was no sound there within;

from the door and sat down on the
wooden bench before the house. Over
the quiet, green graves in the church,
yard lay Sunday calm, only a ligh,
breath of wind rested in the tall
trees. Over in the little church the
sermon was just finished, the sermon
for the fifth Sunday after Trinity.
The sound of the organ and singing
of the congregation fiodted across to
me, and my lips repeated the words:
All! stay with thy clearness,
Precious light, with us stay;
Let thy truth shine upon us,
That we go not astray.
An, yes, clearness, clearness and
truth and peace; help us in all time

of duty, an iron will when she thought

toward the thick, dark shrubbery at

There sat Susanna in the deepes,

oval face rested on her clasped
hands; motionless, like d. lovely
statue, she was looking down before
