FALL OF 4 GRIZZLY BEAR.
without warning 1rnctnbIe Beast
Kills His Trainer.

distinct type of u 700 rogue is the
beast that goes wrong owing to acct
dental temptation, like Shaggy, an ex-
ceedingly Intelligent, traetable Rocky
mountain grizzly who reverted to saw
agery and turned man Killer in a twin
king owing to the unfortunate misstep
and fall Of his trainer.
Shaggy was Il big, handsome, gray
old fellow, with jungle thick coat
and a numbering, awkward gait and a
funny twinkle that made him particp-
larry adaptable for his part of clown in
a remarkably trained group Of fourteen
bears He had come under the hands
of his teacher when but a helpless cub,
had never lost his liking for coresses
and, although the mightlest beast In
the collection, was least suspected Of
being dangerous. Once when a striped
hyena hung to the ankle OF his friend
he had run to the rescue, had cut loose
right and left with his ponderous fore
paws and had bitten and torn and man
gled the ugly beast 10 death before he
could be beaten off. Among his accom-
plishments were that of turning adml-
iably grotesque somersaults and the
more difficult feat of balancing him
self on his hind legs on n three foot
wooden sphere.
Not n scratch or a scar had his train
er to show for the years of work he
had put In with the bear, and yet,
without an instants warning, this
same beast attacked and injured his
master so that when rescued he was
semidemented and SO dreadfully cut
and lacerated that the surgeons decld-
ed 1t useless to try to save his life

VISITING CARDS.
Some of the Uses to Which They Are
Put In England.


Put In England.
A great London paper lately COM
mented on the improper use often made
OF visiting cards by nefarious persons,
but 1t Is evident that the writer did
not know that whole packets of such
cards, bearing the most distinguished
names, can be purchased for mere
trife.
These cards are for the most part,
rs one of the vendors assured the
writer, used innocently enough in a
way of speaking by persons of social
pretensions who simply wish to i'm
press people of their own circle. In
the hall or on one of the dining room
tables elaborate salvers are left care
lessly about, each one piled with cards
bearing most distinguished names, and
or course the waiting visitor, examin-
Ing these cards to pass the time. is
presumed to be deeply impressed by
the weight of the social circle in which
the owner of the drawing room mixes.
The tradesman who was the writer's
Informant declared that some of the
purchasers of the cards greatly en-
HANGED the effect by having scrubbed
In pencil upon these bits of pasteboard,
In different handwrtings of course,
more or less intimate little messages.
The same informant declared that he
had known men of facetious turn OF
mind about to visit watering places
near London who would take the cards
OF great people with them and would
on making chance acquaintances for
mere amusement greatly impress these
latter by giving them one or other of
the pieces of pasteboard bearing a no.
table name.-London Tit-Bits.

Ii isn't easy to get baby for adop-

referred to, asking information on the
applicants character and circum-
stances, and reliable citizens of the
nelghborhood are privately consulted.
Then the agent comes and inspects the
family. If the home seems good one,

possible Is sought There Is even an
attempt to select suitable tempera-

by the agent, who leaves written di-
rections about food and care and comes

nately they are not, at least early In

that can live in this country is the

the animal could hardly have been In
duced to put them on. So the flaps
hung dangling about the legs. the ears
projected above, and the calm eyes
gazed out through the loopholes, sur

HIS CURIOSITY UNAPPEASED
He Had Given His Word and Couldn't
Ask Just That One More Con-
suming Question.

He was a long, lank countryman. He
entered the car, and took his seat next to
a well-dressed man of middle age, who
sat evidently absorbed in his morning
paper. Immediately he had seated him
self he began a rapid fire of questions
directed at the gentleman with the news
paper.
He asked him how many miles an hour
he thought the train could go at it's full
speed; and if he didn't like the looks of
the country they were passing through;
and what he thought of the chances for
crops down his way; and if he didn't
think the trusts were bleeding the coun-
try; and wasn't he of the opinion that
politics had gone to the dogs, anyway,
and the whole land going to ruin; and
didn't he think that Grover Cleveland
was the greatest man that ever lived;
and what was his opinion in regard to
the Spanish war. AT last the man with
the newspaper grew impatient, relates
Wonlan's Home Companion.
"My friend" he said, 1--WE answered
a number of your questions, and now if
you have no objections, I'd like to have
a chance to read my paper"
Sure" his interrogation replied. 81
won't bother you any more; but,
stranger, there's just n more question
I'd like to ask. Just answer me this
one, and I'll shut right up. l see you've
got just one leg. How'd the other come
to be Off"
"If l answer this, you'll promise not to
ask another question:"
Sure" replied the countryman, with
an emphatic nod of the head.
well, then, I'll tell you. 1t was bit
off,"
The recipient of this piece of informa-
ton stared hard at the gentleman with
the newspaper, but he made no comment.
Finally the situation became unendur-
able; he shifted restlessly in his seat, and
his breath came hard. At length he rose,
and started down the aisle.
"I've given my word for it," he said,
land I'm not the man as goes back on
his promise; but I'll be g~oldarned if l
wouldn't give a peck of the best potatoes
on my place to know what it was this
side of perdition that could have bit
that mans leg off,"

the japanese obtain twice as much fish

Electrical Pilot.

River n harbor pilots will be pu,

of Prof. R. B. Owens should come into
general use, Prof. Owens is now pro-
fessor of electrical engineering at Nc
Gill univer eity at Montreal, and the de-
vice referred to above is an electrical
apparatus by which a boat may be taken
through a narrow channel, without the
least danger of grounding. by an officer
of the boat entirely unacquainted with
the water through which he may be
passing. A properly insulated and pro-
tected cable is laid in the channel to be
followed by the craft. An alternating
current is passed through the cable, and
two telephones on board the vessel are
acted upon by the magnetic Influences
Of the cable, so that it is possible to
detect the reflections of the boat with
regard to the position of the cable by
listening at the receivers of the instru-
ments.
