difficult game in his country to secure, espe-
cially so in the summer time, when the polar
bear catches the most.
When seal comes up through his hole in
the thick ice on a pleasant summer day, he is
very cautious at first, as he stretches himself
for q comfortable snooZe on the ice, so close
to his hole that turn of his body will send
him over the edge.
Having kept sharp lookout for number
OF minutes and seeing nothing suspicious in
any direction, he allows his heavy head to
fail on the ice for, his nap; but they are very
short maps indeed, and every two. or three
for probable mischief.
The polar bear watches these movements
from the tor. of>some hummoek of ice, crawls
very stealthily on his prey, taking as much
advantage as possible of every piece of ice to
conceal his form, already protected by his
white color on the ice.
- After having gotten as near as he can by
such means, he lies fiat on the ice and bitches
himself along by. short Jerks, watching the seal
its slfmbers the bear keeps as motionless as
piece of ice, which he somewhat resembles and
hopes to be taken for.
When the seal once more. goes to sleep, he
begins to hitch forward again. BY this slow
method of proceeding he manages to get with
in ten or fifteen feet of his victim, and then,
watching his best opportunity, when the seal
is in the midst of one of his short maps, ne
makes a quick jump for it, striking it over
neck with his teeth.
A single mistake in this scneme and the
seal is below the ice through his hole, dashing
a mass of spray in the bears face, which is
all he gets for his pains.
Should the seal have crawled up on the
edge of an ice-hoe from the water, and at
tempt to escape when the bear is close upon
him, the latter will not hesitate to dive for
the seal; and although in the water the. seal
is the superior in activity, occasionally. how
ever, the bear is rewarded with his prey by
fortunate snap of his jaws.
The seal lives entirely on fish, and whoever
has partaken of the animal could easily tell
this from the fshy flavor of the meat.
The walrus lives almost altogether on CLAIMS,
and these he digs from the bottom of the
shallow Arctic channels and seas, which are
so well known as his home. His villainous-
looking tusks are especially adapted for this
work.
SoHe persons think that the walrus, after
each Clam is dug, comes to the surface to
'blow." 1t is inferred, from the fact that
after the first ice forms and is yet thin. the
walrus disregards it and sticks his head
through and by each of these holes a single
clam she'll is found. The flesh of the walrus
is impregnated with the odor of the clam,
but is not so unpleasant the seal with the
fshy flavor Many time | have enjoyed
GOOD meal of stewed walrus, and the fippers
taste not unlie pigs feet but oarnished with
invisible CLAIMS.

Old Indian Mathematics.

It is remarkable to what extent
Indian mathematics enter into the
science of our time. Both the form
and the spirit Of the arithmetic and
algebra of modern times are essen
tally Indian and not Grecian.
Think of that most perfect OF math-
enatical symbolisms, the Hindoo
notation; think Of the Indian arith-
metical operations nearly as perfect
as our own; think of their elegant
algebraical methods and then judge
whether the Brahmans on the banks
of the Ganges are not entitled to
some credit. Unfortunately some
of the most brilliant of Hindoo dis
coveries in indeterminate analysis
reached Europe too late to exercise
the influence they would have e1-
erted had they come two or three
centuries earlier. -" History OF

Profitable Desperation.

A certain Mr.. Davies, who began
life as a sawyer and carpenter and
whose honesty and industry carried
him on to wealth az a railway con-
tractor, sunk all bis money in bor-
ing for coal, no coal being found.
Then he called a large meeting OF
his miners and told them that he
had spent the earnings of his life
in the speculation and would have
to abandon it. Holding up a half
crown, he declared that that was all
he had left of &c. .000 Which he had
sunk in the mine. A fellow called
out, "And we'll have that too" $50
you shall!w cried Davies, and threw
the coin among them. This bit OF
desperation so delighted the men
that they straightway determined
to 90 to work again, wages or no
wages. In a few days they found
excellent coal and plenty of it, and
Davies was again a rich man.

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
b 10 Apt 70 Hsve . Harmful Effect
Upon Digestion.


Science in its study of men and
animals finds all sorts of contradic-
tory evidence respecting the rela-
tive values of exercise and of rest
during the process of digestion. 1t
has been proved that climate is the
principal consideration at the out
set.
In the tropics the siesta, or short
nap, after the midday meal is found
to be a natural development and a
necessity for human beings, while
in the temperate zones sleep imme-
diatcly after eating is apt to prove
harmful, though rest in waking
state is desirable in most cases.
The whole subject is well out
lined in a Paris scientific journal,
Cosmos, from which the following
paragraph is translated:
''ln temnerate climates an adult
in good health who eats moderately
does not feel the need of sleep i'm
mediately after eating. Somnolence
attacks only dyspeptics, aged per-
sons and excessive eaters. In warm
climates, especially in the tropics,
it is impossible to go out of doors
between II a. m. and 2 p. m. or
to occupy oneself IN any way. Peo-
pie are thus led to lie down, heat
and digestion aiding this tendency,
and the siesta becomes habit, not
an absolute necessity"
If one does lie down after meals
should he sleep or remain awake?
DR.. Schulz, an assistant of Baumler
at Freiburp. has analyzed the con-
tents of the stomachs of two nor
NAL subjects removed several hours
after an Identical test meal of bread
and distilled water, followed in the
one case by sleep, in the other by
simple rest in a horizontal position.
He shows that sleep during diges-
ton always results in weakening
the motility Of the stomach and in
creasing the acidity of gastric juice
"a fact attributed by Schulz to the
irritation caused by the chyme's re-
naming abnormally long in the
stomach.
He has also remarked that SIM
pie repose in a horizontal posture,
not accompanied by sleep, stlmu-
lates the gastric function without
increasing the acidity.
The conclusions of this physiolo-
gist need to be supported by very
large number of tests. The sim
plest test is to ask whether persons
who sleep after eating experience
any discomfort. Numbers Of them
say that siesta interrupts digestion
and that on awakening they have q
bitter taste in their mouths.

1t seems to be the ambition of all
young wives to look well when any
ore calls. A young BRIDE heard a
ring at the front doo-. The maid
was out, and she rushed upstairs to
arrange her toilet little before ad-
mitting the caller. There was. a
moment of lightning work before
the dressing table. Quicker than
it takes to tell it a ribbon was fas-
tened to her throat, a flower stabbed
into her hair, a flash of powder on
Eer face and she was at the door
all smiles and bushes. The "gen-
t.cman" said he had the cheapest
ciotheslines that could be bought
