plnina With Franz Josef.

During dinner, the Emperor con.
verses in his liveliest manner with
the guests of honor near him, and
when he rises the whole party of men
betake themselves to the smoking
room, where black coffee is served
Here begins what is known as the
cercle at tho Austrian Court. The
Emperor talks in turn to every one
present about personal things or cur
rent events. He likes the frankest re-
plies, and laughs with great jovalty
at witty. sallies.
Formerly Franz Josef devoted two
hours to his family after lunch, but
since the painful death of his only
son, the Crown Prince Rudolph, and
the assassination of his Empress at
Geneva, coupled with the marriage of
his two daughters, he leads a very
solitary life for the greater part of
the year. In summer, however, he
makes his way to his lovely villa at
Ischl, in the beautiful Salszkammer-
gut, and here he is surrounded by his
daughters and their children. 1t is
then this pathetic old man is
happiest, playing grandfather" with
the babies. taking walks with them
and forgetting for a brief season
the trials, sufferings. misfortunes
and disappointments which life has
brought him.-Pearson's Monthly for
October.

Thev Met s.,r

Ernest Orsborn and Bud Arnold. of
Comptche, report one of the closest
calls of the season in bear fight.
For some time large bear has been
bothering their stock, and they had
made several Intellectual attempts to
find Bruin, but could not locate him.
This week they started out and got
the track on Big River, near the
Horse opening.
While they were waiting for the
hounds and sitting comfortably on a
log, something appeared behind them
and knocked Orsborn's gun out Of
his hand. Before he had recovered
from his surprise he was engaged in
a hand-to-hand encounter with the
bear, which had doubled on the dogs
and come back on the hunters.
One blow OF the bears paw broke
the gun in two and bent the barrel.
The fight was so fierce that Arnold
had to wait several minutes before he
dared to risk shot, for fear of kill.
ing his companion. Orsborn finally
begged him to shoot anyway, as he
said he would rather be shot than
killed by bear. Fortunately Arnold
was able to hit the lear, the bullet
just glazing Orsborn's arm, and the
combatants rolled over on the ground.
The bear was one Of the biggest ever
killed in that section.-san Francisco

Anecdotes of the Monarch Who Has

Although the people of Norway have
decided to cut away from Sweden, they
have little against King Oscar as a
democratic individual. He is tall,

the most approachable monarch. Sew
eral years ago, while aboard his yacht
"Drott," in northern waters, a party
on a passing steamer asked permits
sion to so aboard. 1t was courteously
granted.
King Oscar, in greeting his visitors,
said, II fear can not show you such
a yacht as you have shown me this
morning. but she is comfortable enough
for an old gentleman, and have spent
twenty-five happy summers on her."
To Journalist in the party the King
granted a few minutes converse ton,
and his first question, in perfect Eng

my countrymen in your northwestern
territories! What sort of citizens do
they make?"

THE FROGS FEEDING.

Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth
for his size, and if we were to put
finger inside 1t we would find that
he has a row of teeth in the upper
Jaw and that his soft white tongue,
unlike our own, is attached in front
and is free behind. When he wishes
to catch any insect he throws out the
free end of the tongue, then draws it
In so rapidly that 1t is difficult to
see whether he has been successful
or not. AS the tongue is coated with
gummy fluid, the insect sticks to 1t
and Is carried back into the mouth,
which closes upon it like the door of
a tomb. Frogs, however, are. not
limited to one mode of feeding. They
often leap open-mouthed upon larger
prey which includes besides insects.

THE wALLs OF ROME

The first Rome was only wall.
Such small wall. moreover,
that any schoolboy knows how one
brother slew another for the iump

Romans are fond OF building walls,
In all cities of the Latin countries
this is the case, but the wallis Of Rome
are most interesting. They are of
brick or of stone and are mastered
over with a cream.wnite plaeter. And
they are everywhere. Private houses
do not open on the street In the brave
American fashion. They face ON a
little garden every tir1r, and the gar.
den and house are hidden from the
eyes of the passers by the cream.col.

from the enameled and brass beds now

previous night.
The secO"d officer had been swept
overheard just before the coming of
the mighty comber which had destroy
ed the vessel; but Mark Haywood, the
first officer, with whi:iwind around
him and whirlpool beneath, kept his
clutch on lie. How he did 1t was
miracle. Every man on deck, includ-
ing the three male passengers, was
swept away. Even the two lifeboats
had been wrenched from their fasten-
ings and smashed to atoms us they
went over the bulwarks.
The storm subsidized almost as quick
ly as it had risen; but the ship was
slowly sinking, and Heywoods only
chance lay in swimming to shore,
which was about mile off. He would
take the cnance IL some one else
would take 1t with him.
The opening to the aft-companion-
way was near him. He forced himself
down, and there, under two feet of
water, found n hatchet, with which he
crawled to the deck and set to work
with desperate energy.
When Miss Nolan opened her eyes
Heywod was tying rope which bound
them together.
"Then it was not you who were
swept overboard?" she cried, in great
joy, forgetting present peril.
NO; thtt was mistake the men
made. 1t was poor Brown" he re-
piled. Then, lookin.; straight into her
eyes, he said. There is to be des-
perate struggle. Tell me that you love

The endurance and courage of the
man was put to the severest test. but
the shore was reached in safety.

drawn around on the overhead rod
the bed is hidden from view, protect
ing it from dust, and it gives the APP
pearance of Il bookcase. Another feat
ure of this bed is that the housekeeper
may easily get at any part for clean
Ing and making it up, without pulling
1t from the wall. All that 1t is neces-
sary to do is to swing the head or foot
out from the spring and it is then pos
sible to get at any part of the bed
without reaching over the head or
foot, as in the old way. The bed can
be taken down the same us the ordi-
nary iron bed when moving. 1t does
not weigh any more than any other
bed. There are no weights or mechan-
ical Joints to get out of order.
