more than enough to repay the cost

Bear Hunt In Denver.

Denver.-The days when live bears
rcam through the Denver streets are
supposed to have passed forever. but
such is not the case. Tor two bears
captured in the Routt county noun
tains made things lively around the
wholesale district on Market street
Thursday.
The bears were shipped here to Ray
mond & Hoffman and probably hav-
ing some idea Of the fact that they
were destined to be converted into
bear steaks for Christmas dinners
they overturned their cages and es.
capped when the door. which had been
loosened while the cages were taken
from the wagon, flew open. They be.
gan a tour OF Market street to the
great CONSERVATION Of the pedestrians
In the neighborhood.
An exciting bear hunt followed
which finally ended in Mr.. Raymond
who is an expert with the lasso, rop
ing the two animals and taking them
back to captivity.

Qualifications of a Hired Man.

There are great differences in the
qualifications of the hired man. one
is worth all and more than he re-
ceiyes, while another who is apparent

thing and the employer is loser IN
the long run by having him around
The hest hired man is one who is in

from his employer and should never

HEIGHT AND TEMPERATURES.

Balloonists and mountain climbers
have long known that the tempera-
ture of the air falls as the altitude
increases. 1t has recently been dis
covered that this decrease in temper
allure has its limits. sounding bal
looms, freighted with automatic re-
cording instruments, have been sent
to heights far exceeding those which
any balloonist can hope to reach. The
records obtained show that at a
height Of about eight miles the ther-
mometer ceases to fall, and may even
rise. The distinguished French me-
teorologist Tisseranc de Bort claims
also to have discovered hat at a GER
tain level the air above the poles is
warmer than that above the equator,
and anomaly which must be more
fully demonstrated than is now pos
sible before it can be accepted.

A century ago there were 1On
churches within the square mile" Of

more than half that number. 1t has
been suggested that so of these
should be demolished and the funds
thus liberated employed in church
work elsewhere. The site of All Hal

worth 100000, while that of st.

GREAT Loss OF LABOR.

Probably no reader has the least
idea what is the total amount of i'm
prisonment to which offenders in
this country are sentenced every
year. The figures are remarkable. In
round numbers $50 people receive
sentences of 1900 years penal servi-
tude and 1875, 0 people receive sem
fences Of 16,6OO years. imprison-
ment. That is a total of 2O,SOO
years. What a dreadful loss this is
to the country Not only have all
these people to be fed, clothed,
housed, guarded, but they are prac-
tically idle-or, at least, their work
is Of little value. The great ma
iority of them are in the prime of
working life, aged from 20 to Co.
