Satisfaction.

On one occasion some remarks OF
Incledon, the once famous singer,
gave offense to a man who resoly-
ed to have satisfaction" for his
wrongs. Accordingly he hunted up
Incledon the next afternoon, finding
him at dinner in noted hotel. "Mr.

the room in a towering passion,
"you have been making free with
my name in a very improper man

OUR BIG BROWN BEARS.
They Are More Than Match For the
Largest African Lions.

What percentage of people, even
of those who feel an interest in
wild animal life, really know that
the largest flesh eating animals IN
the world are found in America:
People generally believe. and have
believed for ages, that the African
lion is the king Of beasts. But he IS
not nearly as LARGE or as powerful
an animal as the large brown bear
of subartic America. The bears
are not as fcrociouS or combative as
the lions. nor are they nearly as
vicious as they are given credit for
being. But the largest of them are
much larger and more powerful
than any Of the lions. 1t is safe to
say that the largest of the brown
bears of the north would weigh
three times as much as the largest
specimen of lion and is beyond
all question greatly superior in
strength.
Comparing these two powerful
animals in action if brought togeth-
er in combat, the bear would at
first appear very clumsy. 1t would
not be capable of the quick rush or
the catlike spring of the lion. 1t
would not attack, but would remain
entirely on the defensive, meeting
its adversary with blows of such
iapidity and terrible force as at
once to illustrate its superiority not
only in strength, but in action. l
do not believe that there is an ami
NAL in the world that can act more
quickly or effectively or can aim its
blows with greater certainty than
the bear.
The large brown bears of the
Alaska peninsula, south of Bering
sea, are among the largest bears of
the world, and it is evident that
there is no part of the world out
side of America in which such large
flesh eating animals are found. The
bears are flesh eaters, or carnivo-
rous, yet there are none of them
that depend upon flesh for food,
and with most of them flesh COM
prises but a very small percentage
Of their food.
The large brown bears of the
north and those of the Alaska pen
insula usually travel to the sea
when first leaving Information. -

Space Filters.

Two chance acquaintances on
train between Washington and Phil,
adelphia discovered that they had
come originally from the same
neighborhood in Delaware and fell
to conversing about old times.
"By the way" said the passenger
in the skullcap, whatever became
of Harry Mullins :"
"Oh, he's a special writer on one
of the New York papers" replied
the passenger with the red tie
"Gets $40 column. Good thing"
"And his brother Dick?"
"Dick's a fat man in museum
Weighs 40 pounds. Gets a good
salary"
"Well, WE'LL" unused the man in
the skullcap. "Both of 'em have
achieved success as space filters

THE SABLE ANTELOPE.
A Beautiful Creature, Powerful, Grace.
full and Glossy.

OF the many beautiful antelopes
which abound in Central and South
Africa two species, the larger koo-
doc and the sable, must be awarded
the first places. Of these the for
mcr is veritablc king of the for
est. The exquisite symmetry Of
the long, curving horns, their spiral
twist, their noble spread and strik-
ing poise on well shaped head,
which seems almost too small to
carry such a glorious ornament, go
to make a picture which is matched
BY few other denizens of the forest.
The sable makes a good second.
Long, massive, ringed horns, form
ing, in a good specimen, nearly a
perfect semicircle, rise almost YER
tically and close together from a
narrow forehead. Bending back
ward in a bold sweep, they lose their
rings near the tip and taper grace
fully outward, to end in shiny black
points. Add to this a powerful,
elegant body, narrow shoulders and
graceful limos, a glossy black hide
shot with russet gold, brilliant
white patches below tie eyes and
an under belly of the same color, a
short black name, and the portrait
is complete. Seen at close quarters
in his native haunts, he makes pic
ture few will forget.
His natural habitat becomes year
by year more restricted. but with
sensible game laws let US hope the
day of his final extinction is still
far distant. At one time plentiful
in South Africa, his gradual extinc-
tion there has been brought about
by the rinderpest, and still more so
by the wanton destruction of ami
NAL life characteristic of &he Dutch
and the early pioneers. At the
present time, except in some parts
of Mashonaland, the Kalahari and
the Portuguese territory, he exists
only in herds north of the Zambezi,
where the Dutch are not and where
the South African of destructive
tendency has no inducements to 60.
Here again the distribution of
the sable is peculiar. His first
cousin, the roam, swarms over Por-
tuguese Zambezia and northeastern
Rhodesia. The sable, except in a
few localities, is comparatively
scarce, while in British Central Af-
rica, the adjoining country sep
arated from the others by no dis
tinctive change in scenery or eli
mate, it is exactly the contrary
the sable is common, the roam
scarce in comparison.-G. A. Park
Ross in Macmillan's Magazine.

The Brougham.

What is the correct way to pro-
nounce the name of that vehicle,
the "brougham?" Up in Scotland,
where the original Lord Brougham
came from, the name was pro-
nounced "Broocham" with the
900" as in book and the "ch" as
in 'loch'') and also "Broofam" and
"Brooham' GOO" a little longer).
In London society made it ''Broo-
am" or Broom" 600 as long as
one pleases), and the vehicle was
"broom." Elderly people still say
''broom,' says the dictionary, and
Il few make it "broo-am," but ''bro-
am is commonly preferred by the

nunciation is ''brome."

BUILT BY UNSEEN HANDS.
Jssxtsl, Legend Of Solomon and the
House of the Lord.

$50 that there was neither ham,
mer nor ak nor any other.tool Of
iron heard in the house while it was
building" Il Kings vi, y. The above
is a Scriptural quotation, to be
found at the citation given, and is
concerning the building Of Solo
mons temple. The reason therein
assigned for the pei>ect quietude
which existed in and about the great
building while it was in course Of
erection is that the stones and tim
bers were all made ready befoie be-
ing brought to the site of the great
building. Heber beautifully alludes
to this in the little couplet, in which
he says:
No hammer fell. no ponderous axes runs.
!; Like some tall palm the mystic fabric
sprung.
The Jews have a legend to the
effect that Solomon did not employ
men in building the great "house
of the Lord" but that he was aided
in the gigantic undertaking by the
genii. Having a premonition that
he would not live to see the build
ing finished, Solomon prayed to God
that his death might be concealed
from the genii until the structure
was finished. Immediately after he
made a staff from a sprout of the
tree of life, which was growing in
his garden, and leaning upon this
he died, standing bolt upright in the
unfinished temple.
Those who saw him thought that
he was absorbed in prayer, and they
did not disturb him for upward Of a
whole year. Still the genii worked
day and night, thinking that they
we're being constantly watched by
him whose eyes had been closed in
death many weeks.
All this time, so the legend says,
little white ants Zone account says
red mice) were gnawing at the staff,
and when the temple was finally fin
ished the staff gave way, and the
body of the dead Solomon fell prone
upon the floor. Mohammed alludes
to this queer legend in the Koran
(see Sura xxxiv), where he says.
"When he (God) had decreed that
Solomon should die, nothing discov-
cred his death unto them (the genii)
except the creeping things of the
earth. st. Louis Republic.

Americans Growing Bigger.

A tailor whose firm has been
continuously in business in Phila-
delphia for over a century has COM
piled from his books of measure
ment some statistics that discount
the statements of the pessimists.
These statistics show that the
American in the past century has
grown taller, stronger and simmer
greater in height and in chest
girth, less in the girth of waist and
hips. The average chest Of 1895
was sc inches. 1t is 3S inches now.
The average height was 5 feet Z
inches. 1t is now feet S12 inches.
The length of leg has increased in
the same proportion. The shoul-
ders and chest have greatly devel-
oped. The waist, on the other
hand, has lost two inches.

A COMPOSITE GENIUS.
He Seems to Have Read Biography thu
Wrong Way.

In reading the lives of men who
played a great part in life we are
often struck by the fact that those
heroic men were in many cases ad-
dicted to certain VICES. But it
would be well for young men to re-
member that the great ones Of the
earth succeeded not because of any
bad habits they may have had, bat
in spite of them. To get the great
est possible benefit from reading
biography we should make an eff
fort to emulate great men in their
carnestness and goodness and not
in their littleness or badness. There
is something unworthy to be found
in the lives of all men, human ma
ture being far from perfect. But
such unworthiness is not to be cop
led. The young man spoken of in
the following little story seems to
have read biography the wrong way:

"Well," said the manager, plung-
ing at a heap Of manuscript, "any-
how we don't need you. You won't

The young man turned away sor-
rowfully. 'It's no sort of use," he
said. "a fellow combines in his

Our Most HumiIi.tina War.

But for Osceola there would nev-
er have been any Seminole war at
all, and, all things considered, his
career marks the most humiliating
war the United States ever engaged
in. There were less than 5000
Seminoles, men, women and chill
dren, in all Florida when hostilities
began with the murder of General
Thompson by Osceola. That great
chiefs cunning, capacity and cour-
age had cost the nation no less than
$50, 100000 and the lives of three
soldiers for every Indian brave that
he led. Such an appalling record
of destruction stands against no
other fighter on all our frontiers.-
