MoLLIFlED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern Utes Had an In- terview with Bear at Close
 Quarters.

"The most interesting story l ever heard came from the lips of old .Buckskin Charley chief of the southern Utes," said MT. J. r. Altberger, of Philadelphia, to a Washington Post reporter.
 'As told by white man the narrative is tame, indeed, lacking the dramatic action and eloquence of the red warrior. 1t was about a meeting with big grizzly bear in the mountains of Colorado. Charley was out looking for deer. He was equipped with an old-fash- toned, single barrel, muzzle-load- ing rifle, which put him at terri ble disadvantage, when he was suddenly confronted by one of the biggest specimens of the grizzly tribe he ever saw.
 "I jumped behind big tree very quick, he said, and Mir. Bear came close, rearing up on his hind legs. l was scared to shoot, only hay- ing one barrel. Then I com menced to talk. said: "Mr. Bear, l am your friend. leone out after deer. I hope you go way and so kill deer and leave big piece of meat for you" Then the bear seemed to get friendly, and he dropped on his legs to the ground, much as to say he'd like a piece of deer, and then he run off into the mountains

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS.
Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses of Hymn for Soft Boiled and
 Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused of want of method, but the Aunt Dinah in Howard PauPs new egg story is not open to any such re- proach, says London Truth. In variably when she put the eggs in the saucepan she began singing Rock of Ages" and sang through two verses. "Aunt Dinah," asked Mir. Paul "are there not three verses in that hymn?" "Dar is, massa, but l sings only two when I wants lem soft and three when wants 'em hard"
 His other egg story is good, too, He was travelling on a Pennsyl- vania railway, and when his breakfast was brought the eggs were underdone. "What time are we making on this train?" he asked the waiter. "A mile min ute, sir" "Then boil the eggs another mile and they'll be quite right"

IS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Made Against the New Wom- an-Considerations That Might
 Lead Her to Admit It.

One of the charges that are made against the new woman" is that she is less sympathetic than is her sister who abides closely in what is called "woman's sphere" !" says the Portland Oregonian. But in the light of the above ar raignment of sympathy as the vice that it not infrequently is, may not the "new woman" confess judgment upon this charge and strengthen her case and her posi- tion by so doing? Woman has been called a ministering angel, but would not more practical name better befit the women of the twentieth century? Will not the services of women to the world be greater and of more en- during effect if they cast aside un- reasonable sympathy as a worn out garment that discloses rather than conceals the moral naked ness of those about whom it is cast, and substitute therefor the armor of personal responsibility? 1t has been said that there is woman behind the door of every. mans success. "If there is," says the writer, "rest assured that she isn't sympathetic woman whin- ing through the keyhole: Give it up if it's hard,' but a woman of nerve and backbone who, like the Spartan woman of old, is crying out: Come home with your shield, or on it."

POPE A GREAT FAvORITE,
Has Been a Pulpit Orator of Renown from Very Outset of His
 Priestly Career.

One recalls, writes William J. D. Croke, in Century, those mov- ing speeches which, as car dinal, he delivered weeping in the conclave, setting forth all his i'm perfections (his sins, even), and the disadvantages of his career from barefooted boyhood up, but which really secured him the throne, and the stories of him which every one knows in Lom- bardy and Venetia. For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he. A pulpit orator of renown from the very outset of his priestly career, the sought after panegyrist of great occa- sions when bishop and patriarch, no wonder that he was hailed by a voice i'll Rome when he. took pos session of his title as cardinal: :: No one has spoken so we'll as this cardinalw As country assistant, then parish priest, then professor in the seminary of Treviso, canon, chancellor of the diocese, great hierarch of Mantua, the successor of St. Mark, everyone seems to know him, and no one has any memory that is not pleasant.

Developed by Nature.

When the petals of the great laurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact is taken ad- vantage of by the South Ameri- can lover, who pulls a magnolia flower, and on one of it's pure white petals writes motto or message with disappointed pen cil. Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in vase of wa ter, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf be comes perfectly visible, and re. mains so.

Military Magpie.

Emperor William has lately reviewed a feathered veteran of the German army. One of his regiments has a pet magpie. which is full of militarism and very proud of It's parade step. Wben the kaiser visited the regimental quar- ters recently he asked for this accom- plished bird. A French illustrated pa- per publishes 6 picture of the incident. There is the kaiser sitting sternly in the saddle and there is the magpie with its martial stride and there are the officers of the regiment with mingled anxiety and pride plainly marked on all their faces

DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
In France the Innocent Party May Re. cover All the Presents He or
 She Has Given.

"There are many curious and inter- esting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries" ]" said R. J. Brown, who, reports the h. dianapolis News, recently returned from a trip abroad, where he made a study of the question.
 Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act 1895) that the relations created by betrothal do not give the right to command the con- clusion of a marriage, but if either party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons he or she is bound to grant compensation. to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist, but the courts can decree the personal separation of married couple with out dissolving the bonds of matrimony.
 "A curious law prevailing in France provides that, before being married, children of family, although over age, shall seek in respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference, how ever, whether the consent of parents is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This is also the case In the Nether- lands.
 "A divorce further entities the in- nocent party to recover all the pres- ents he or she may have made.
 "Accorcing to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter, indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concerned. There Is also a law providing that no man or woman under 30 can marry without the consent of parents. If the consent be refused the couple have to appear before judge, who advises them as he thinks best
 Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees. This Is the case in Norway, while in the Netherlands cer- tain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married without Naynaaat" -----------'''-

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE ?
Most of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov ernors of Arabia-Little Is
 Ever Exported.

"I don't believe there is a pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" Mr. c. T. Hilli- glas, coffee merchant, informs me, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that POO peO- pie in this country have ever tast- ed it, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov ernOr.
 "The true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it has a delicious fla vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find it's way to this country; it may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti- cle, am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, though we get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cof- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof- fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six months. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, so that they may be sure of their annual sup ply. The second grade berries go to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably ex- ceeds the supply.
 Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds it's way to Constantinople, but it is very, very seldom, and I don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. Ipre sume that if, by some hook or crook, pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even Rockefeller might hes itate to pay. We oct the best cof- fee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre- vail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in our markets"
