With reference to the story Of
Byron's first invitation to dinner at
the house of the poet Rogers, IN St
James place, which we quoted ths
other day, a correspondent reminds
US that it had a sequel. Byron, It
Will be remembered, refused every
dish, saying he took nothing but
biscuits and soda water and made
his meal of mashed potatoes drench-
ed with vinegar. Rogers completes
the story in his table talk. "Some
days after, meeting Hobhouse, l
said to him, How long will Byron
persevere in his present diet? he
replied, Just so long as you con-
tinue to notice it, 1 did not then
know what 1 now know to be fact
that Byron, after leaving my
house, had gone to a club IN st
James street and eaten a hearty
meat upper."-London Globe.

Fin. Feathers and Gratitude.

The well dressed woman slipped
two theater tickets into an envelope,
which she proceeded to address to
a girl employed by fashionable
dressmaker.
THAT" she explained, lis IA
vor that many women with good
clothes confer upon the girls who
are responsible for their fine feath
ers. In bestowing it we are nos
actuated by vanity, but by a desire
to give pleasure. After a woman
has been in the millinery or dress
making business for several years
she ceases to take much interest in
the public appearance of the women
who wear her creations, but the
Younger girls have great desire to
see a customer fully dressed for
some occasion for which they have
hurried to finish her clothes. From
long experience 1 can pick out these
curious, clever little artists, and
whenever 1 wear an especially nice
dress to a place open to the public
1 send tickets Of admission to the
girls who have worked hardest to
make my costume a success. "-NeS

BEARS IN EUROPE.

Their Fiocks.
Although the last bear was shot
in Germany in 1885 near Traun-
stein, in Bavaria, bear hunting and
trapping still go on in the very
heart of Europe. In TransylVania,
Hungary, Bosnia and Croatia, all
mountainous regions, there are hun
dreds of bears, and scores Of them
are killed and caught every year
They are the plague of the shep-
herds and cattle herders who pas
ture their focks among the hills
They seem to fear neither dogs nor
men and boldly carry off sheep and
calves into the woods before the
eyes of the watchers.
The peaSantry retaliate by using
the stolen animals as bait for the
robbers. The bear seldom consumes
the entire carcass at one meal. He
either buries the rest or hides it
with leaves to serve another time.
The country people know this, and
they follow the bears trail to the
place of concealment. When this IS
found they determine the direction
in which ne departed from his prey,
knowing he will return when he Is
hungry by the same path
The trap is placed in this line
about a yard from the hidden car
cass. It is carefully concealed with
leaves and grass, and bruin cannot
help stepping on it with either his
fore or hind paws. When he is Sc
curely caught the herdsmen, who
are MORALLY afraid of him, appear
and kill him at leisure and in per-
feet safety.
OF course the landowners and
sporting class generally do not gel
their bear in this cowardly way
They hunt with dogs and shoot tht
game when it is run down.
But this is not easy work. Al
though there are plenty of bears Il

the effect that they were clearing

reporter does not happen to be a

DRY had a tendency to exaggerate,
perhaps, but he knew they were
