Theophils Gautisr.

In spite of his exceptional
strength and the magnitude Of his
desires, Gautier was dreamer,
strayed into the midst of a restless,
implacable civilization which rush
ed past him and over him and trod
him under foot, while he, uncon-
scious of the fact, made no COM
plant. "Poor Theo" he sometimes
exclaimed, and we, his friends, knew
what depths of unspoken suffering
were compressed into that cry. he
lived in a world of dreams far away,
so far away indeed that he was
aware the fantastic existence he had
imagined was not to be realized
upon our earth and therefore made
the best Of the Indifferent circum-
stances in which he was forced to
live. - Literary Recollections,

Beauty Evsry~hsrs.

The remotest corner of the globe
is full of wonder and beauty. The
LATEST bank in the world, away from
towns, where no artists do congre-
gate, upon which no farm laps,
where no vines hang their cooling
clusters, nor flowers spring, nor
grass invites the browsing herd, is
yet spotted and patched with moss
of such exquisite beauty that the
painter, who in all his life should
produce one such thing, would b
a master in art, an immortal in
fame, and it has the hair Of 10000
reeds combed oveI;ts brow, and its
shining sand and insect tribes might
win the students lifetime. Gods
least thought is more prolific than
mans greatest abundance.-Henry
Ward Beecher.

Language Of Bells.

Volume of sound is, indeed, the
boast of most old bells. "Although
nv Waste is SMALL" says Somer-
set bell in its motto, u will be
heard against you all. Sing on, my
jolly sisters" We are not sur
prised, knowing bells, that "this old
bell rung the downfall of Bona
parte and broke, April, 1914" We
only wish there were more Bona
parties. The inscription on a Rut-
land bell has a bitter significance
for the enemies of church bells be-
sides its own sad one for most of US,
81 sound not for the souls of the
dead, but for the ears of the liv-
ing" But the inscription that de-
serves to be written in gold over
the belfry of, say, Remington
church is the beautiful old Latin
one, also on a Rutland bell: "Non
clamor sed amor cantat in azure
Del" (@Not noise, but love, sings
in the ears of God').-St. James

OUR BIG BROWN BEARS.
They Are More Than . Match For Tie
Largest African lione.

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 ferocious or combative IS
the lions, nor are they nearly az
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
rapidity and terrible force as at
once to illustrate its superiority not
only in strength, but in action. |
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
eide of America in which such large
flesh eating animals are found. The
bears are flesh eaters, or carnivo-
rous, vet 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. -

Our Most Humiiiatins War.

But for Osceola there would neE-
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.-
