VICTOR HUGO'S GOLDEN GIFT
How the Great Writer Rewarded the Chiffonnler Who Had Found
 He Lost Spoon.

A Paris chiffonnier makes a living of sort, and he sometimes, in over hauling the dustbins, comes across a find In this respect Paris contem- porary relates capital story of Vic tor Hugo. A little silver gilt sou venir spoon, which the poet valued very much, disappeared. Through the carelessness of the maid servant it had found its way into the ash bucket, and in due course into the hands of the chiffonnier who prac- ticed in the district. ess
 This worthy succeeded in getting the poet to awake from his reveries andto descend from the lofty heights of Olympus, in other words his study, to receive back the lost spoon. Huge was delighted to get back his souvenir. The author of "Hernaai" was never a prodigal, so he rewarded the chiffonnier by presenting him with 6 copy of his "Les Chansons des Rues ct des Sois," saying "There, my man, you will find in 1t IS much gold as is contained in any jewel case in the world."-London Globe.

Exactly.

A Flemish gentleman conceiv-
ed the idea that he would live
only a certain time, so he made
nice calculation of his fortune,
which he so apportioned as to
last just the same period as he
guessed his life would extend to.
Strangely enough, his calculations
came correct to the letter, for he
died punctually at the time he
had previously reckoned. He
had so far exhausted his estate
that after his debts had been dis
charged solitary pairo slippers
represented the entire property
he left. His relatives buried
him, and a representation Of the
slippers was carved on the tomb.
Today in a churcbyard at Ans.
terdam his grave may be seen,
the only inscription on the stone
being two Flemish words, "Effen
Nyt' ii. e., "Exactly").

north of Baiae, Italy, where the
villas 0fRomans of imperial times
crowded each other to the waters
edge, and where, in consequence,
to this day the ground is full of
archaeological treasurers, very
fine mosaic has just been disCov
cred. In form it is u parallelo-
gram, measuring about five and
a half yards by nearly ten yards.
The piece represents a hunting
scene in which there are many
wild beasts and several hunters,
the favorite subject for large
mosaics in those DAYS. 1t has
been bought for 1,500 by the
ministry of public works for the
decoration of the great monument
of Victor Emmanuel in Re me,
which is slowly taxing fern, and
will eventually dominate all old

The SCrap.BOok Habit.

One seldom realizes what is
lost by not caring in an orderly
way for the many items of in
formation or recipes that are
valuable which may be clipped
from the papers and magazines
and kept where they can be
found when wanted. by the use
of little time, paste and an old
book. While one has to rum
mage through pile of old liter
allure to find what is wanted i'm
mediately, or to claw through a
lot of clippings that are tossed
haphazard into envelopes or
boxes, one is apt to lose not only
valuable time, but temper as
we'll. Any old, well-bound book
may be used for the scrap book,
by tearing, or cutting ont two
leaves, leaving one, then tearing
out two more, until the DO * has
been gone through. 1t requires
but few minutes tn make few
spoonfuls of flour paste, aud to
put the scraps into the book
used for the purpose. There
might be several books, one each
for certain items of information,
for recipes, and for literature.
Scrap books make a valuable H.
brary, ard are worth more than
any encyclopedia if the contents
are wisely chosen and the work
done neatly. Not only should
the housewife have scrap books,
but many valuable item may
be saved by the man of the fam.
lily, and when pasted in his book,
he can find it at a moments no.
tice. Just resolve to cultivate
the scrap-book habit, beginning
now.

fully reassure her. After a mo,

ROping a Grizzly.

lSopluS SrlZAiles is d game one
might think for a dozen men,
bat there are stories on record of
Californians who have roped the
most powerful grizzly single
handed. In "Recreatlons of
Sportsmen on the Pacific Coast"
Mr.. Q. F. Holder describes a
catch of this sort made by Don
Jose Oastenada. Don Jose Was
living at the time at the Chino
ranch. about fifty miles east of
Los Angeles, and one day, when
riding through the WILLOWS to in
spect his cattle, came suddenly
without warning. upon grizzly
that had wandered down from
the hills on a marauding trip.
The first warning Don Jose
had was of something hving
about his face end striking his
horse a fearful blow on the rump.
The object was the paw of big
grizzly. The animal had reared
up in the brush and struck at
Don Jose, but had missed him, as
he had intuitively put spurs to
his horse and rushed into a clear
ing, trailing his RATA, that on
the range was always colled Loose
ly on the pommel. The bear fol-
lowed on the dead run.
Don Jose was now in grass
clearing the size of a large circus
tent and directed his horse round
IN a circle, riding slowly until the
grizzly came within ten feet of
him, gradually loading him up to
a small curly willow. Suddenly
he threw his horse on his haunch
es to the side and as the grizzly
came on cast the RATA.
AS it fastened on to the hind
leg of the animal Don Jose ran
his horse round the tree, thus
hauling the grizzly close to it
with heavy drag, and while it
fell on it's side, rolling over and
biting at the rope, Don Jose ran
his horse round the tree several
times until he had the animal
completely in the tolls.
He now fastened the end of
his RATA to a limb. and as the
bear was trying to reach him all
the time he made a second rate
of his hair rope, tossed the moose
over the BEARS head and with q
few turns over the pommel haul
ed taut and so arranged the rope
that the horse could not get
wound up.
During this time of excitement
and quick action Don Jose had
J made the fight from the saddle,
but he now proposed to leave it..
He reached down and pulled his
cinch strap as tight as the horse
would stand, so the saddle would
not slip. He then left the we'll
trained horse holding back hard,
"a in the case of branding a steer,
: and preventing the bear from
moving. The grizzly had backed
up against the tree, the horse
holding him in one direction. the
tree N the other.
Don jose now took off his silk
sash and, passing behind the tree,
succeeding in tying the bears
s hind legs together. He thus had
: Mr.. Bear at his mercy. He had
l made the capture single harded,
except for the aid of his horse.
