Strength of :. Pear.

Few people know that i grizzly bear
can give points to any other carniv-
orous animal in point Of strength. 4
grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carry
ing i heifer Of more than two-thirds
its own weight for two miles up the
most steep and rugged mountain side,
and this without pausing one instant
for rest. The grizzly bear is the lar
gest and most powerful Of all the bear
tribe, but his cousin, the cinnamon
bear, runs him very close, and the big
white polar bear, though not really so
dangerous customer, is capable Of
performing the most extraordinary
feats of strength.

A BRIDGE CURIOSITY,
Odd Structure In Mexico Built Of
Solid Mahogany.


AS mahogany is among the most cost
" woods in the world, it may we'll be
inferred that this tropical material is
not very extensively employed in the
construction Of buildings, etc. a bridge
constructed Of solid mahogany is GER
tainly a rarity, curiosity. There IS
one, claimed to be the only one in the
world, built of that material. This
structure is located in the department
Of Palenque, state Of Chiapas, republic
Of Mexico. This district lies in the ex-
treme southwestern part Of Mexico,
near the boundary line Of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is constructed
entirely Of that valuable wood except
some iron supports, braces and nails
that are necessary. The bridge spans
the Rio Alichol, and its total length, in
eluding approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width Is fifteen feet. 1t IS
used by both teams and pedestrians,
and, although somewhat rude and
primitive in construction, 1t is very
substantial.
None Of the tinbers Of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section Of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
tions, and mahogany trees are quite
common In clearing awav The fr0nical
forests for setting out the young rub
Der trees the mahogany growtns are
also cut down and removed. AS this
wood is quite abundant, some Of it was
used in building the bridge.-American

BEATEN by A HAIR.

EaanibaI EamIin's First Try For the
United States Senate.
When Hannibal Hamiin was speaker
Of the Maine house of representatives,
away back in the forties Of the last
century, there was in that body q Ger
tain gentleman Of faultless attire,
pleasing manners, good address and
some reputation, but he had one foible.
His hair was very thin, and he was
highly sensitive in regard to it
TO hide his approaching badness he
had a habit Of carefully strokins with
bandoIine or other preparation each
particular hair in its place. One day
while in the clair as speaker. Mr. Ham
Lin, il the innocence Of a good and
joke loving nature, sent for this gen
tleman and, looking fxedly at his
smooth and polished pate, said with a.
chuckle:
BLANK, old fellow, just wanted to
tell you that you've got one OF the
hairs Of your head: crossed over the
otner.
'You insultme, sir! You insult me!
replied the member, with unexpected
and altogether unnecessary indigna-
ton, and then, refusing to listen either
to reason. or explanation, he left the.
speakers desk and returned to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became a candi-
date for the United States senate this
gentleman was a member Of the upper.
house Of the Maine legislature. Al
though a member of the same party
and only one aore vote was needed to
secure Mr.. Ha,nlin's election, he posi-
lively refused to vote for the man by
whom he believed he had-beer insulted.
He was defeated FOR a seat in the
senate-by a hair, but when the next
vacancy occurred he was: elected

RIFLE SHOOTING.
Develops the Arms, Lungs and Chest
and Trains the Eye.

Develops the Arms, Lungs asnd Chest
and Trains the Eye.
It is not only the muscles Of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
lied rife shooting. 1t supplies an eG-
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn is how to take
deep breath, to ill the lungs with air,
and then to hold the breath while the
rifle is kept absolutely steady and the
finger is gradually tightening on the
trigger. * glance at any successful
rife shot will show you q man with
deep chest and full powers Of breath
ing.
Any form Of recreation which trains
the muscles Of the arm and exercises
the chest and lungs would seem likely
to be beneficial to health, but if that
is not enough there is the unequaled
training which rife shooting gives to
the eye and to the hand working:wlth
the eye. The writer remembers hear
Ing a masketry instructor boast that
he had heightened not only his own
sight, but the sight Of scores Of boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes in aiming at target, by two or
three hundred yards, simply by con-
tinued practice at long distance shoot
Ing. It is astonishing what results can
be obtained in this way by placing
rifle on sand bag raised on a tripod
and making the pupil aim as accurate
" as he can at any distant object. The
eye can be trained, Of course, equally
well, though tie sight will not neces-
sarily be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jects close at hand.-London Spectator.

Giving EcaDTesS;Teiy,

There are diyersities Of giving as

grand air sometimes seems to make
more Of an impression than to give
much modestly The world has not
changed in this respect. Samuel Pepys
wrote in his "Diary" in 1860: "There
was 4 great number of merchants and
others Of good quality (at a dinner) on
purpose to make an offering Ito two
newly married servants). which, when
dinner was done, we did, and I did
give 10 shillings and no more, though
I believe most Of the rest did give
more, and did believe that did so
