"Steve' the big bear who had for
many months been a pet of the fire
men at Tacoma, and known to many
persons throughout the Northwest
recently broke the big iron chain
that had held him captive and start
ed out to see the sights.
Several persons were attacked by
the bear, but none seriously hurt.
One Of the clerks at the Northern
Pacific headquarters ventured too near
and Steve took him on for a wrestling
match. Standing on his hind feet,
the bear was almost as tall as the
man, and gave demonstration of how
a bear can rough person. The man
finally escaped into a nearby building.
The bear was later shot and killed.

HOUSES HEATED WITH SMOKE
Inhabitants of Korea Have Ingenious
Way of Making the Floor
Serve as Huge Stove.

The rigorous winter of Korea, which
deters many Japanese from settling
there, is made endurable, says the
Herald of Asia, by means of heating
contrivances called ondol. This is a
very ingenious way of heating whole
room by making smoke and heated
air pass under the floor. In fact, the
floor serves as huge stove.
A floor Is first made of mud and is
intersected by three or four flues
which spring from the fireplace at one
side of the house and converge into
the chimney at the other. Large slabs
of stone are laid over this mud floor
with it's parallel flues. The joints are
made alright with clay, and a layer
of clay is added on the top. Finally
the whole is covered with thick oiled
paper. The fireplace is outside of the
wall at one side and the smoke passes
through those flues in the floor on its
way to the chimney at the other end
of the house. In this way the whole
room is effectively warmed. Neither
stove nor hibachi is needed in such a
room, even during an exceedingly cold
day, and it is real comfort to sleep
in 1t, feeling, as one does, the soft
warmth enveloping the whole body
from beneath.

ALL MADE EQUAL BY DEATH
No Democracy Ever Conceived Is at
All Comparable to That Of
the Tomb.

In the democracy of the dead all men
at last are equal. There is neither
rank nor station nor prerogative in the
republic of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise, and the song of the poet is 81
lent. Dives relinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
is acquitted of his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequfted toll.
Here, at last, is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed. Injustice is expiated,
the irony of fate is refuted; the I'M
equal distribution of wealth, honor, ca
pacity, pleasure and opportunity which
makes life such cruel and inexplic-
able tragedy, ceases in the realm Of
death. The strongest there has no su-
premacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs to that invincible adversary
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished.-John J. Ingalls,.

Most Women Still Cling to This Old
Superstition But French Girls
Think That Day Fortunate.

There is no period in woman's
life that so completely changes ner
whole existence as marriage, and for
that very reason she is apt to be more
superstitious and fanciful at that time
than at any other, and while supersti-
lions are fast becoming thing of the
past there are few women who will
not hesitate before making Friday
their wedding day, says London Tit
Bits.
June and October have always been
held as the most pr0pitious months, a
happy result being thought by some to
be rendered certain if the ceremony
is timed so as to take place at the
full moon or when the sun and moon
are in conjunction.
In Scotland the last day of the year
is thought to be lucky and if the moon
should happen to be full at any time
when wedding takes place the
brides cup of happiness is expected
to be always fun.
The good people of Perthshire who
have had their banns published at the
end of one and are married at the be-
ginning of another quarter of a year
can expect nothing but good things.
The day Of the week is also of great
importance, Sunday being great
favorite in some parts of England and
Scotland. And although an English
lass would not marry on Friday, the
French girls think the first Friday in
the month particularly fortunate.

Llqhs In Sugar Crystals.

A soft blush light has occasionally
been seen when scoop was scraped
across solidly caked sugar in the bin.
Loose sugar does not show this glow
nor does graduated. A scientist says
that the cause of the peculiar light
is in the fracturing Of the sugar crys-
tails. Luminescence of this type ac-
companies the breaking of crystals of
a number of different substances, but
in none is it more pronounced than in
rock candy. To get the best effect
place Jumps Of rock candy between
the jaws Of nut crackers or forceps
and suddenly crush the crystal to frag-
ments. If the room has previously
been darkened the flash of light may
be seen at distance Of 20 yards or
more.

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY
silas Deane, First American Diplomatic
Agent, Received Harsh Treatment
From Government.

Silas Deane, the first diplomatic
agent of the United States, was born
at Groton, Mass, close to 200 years
ago. He became merchant and was
q delegate to the first Continental con-
gress. In the spring of 1776 he was
sent to France as secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as a merchant from
Bermuda, and upon his arrival in
Paris sought an interview with Count
de Vergennes, the Minister of Foreign
AffaireS, who refused to receive him.
Deane was reduced to the direst pow
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained Of the lack of suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to a point where he had to ac-
cept poor lodgings from sympa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted in the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
In the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con-
sidered q diplomatic indiscretion and
it cost Paine his place as secretary of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane, driven into poverty and exile,
died in England in 1889. Half GEN.
fury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress and
a large sum was paid his heirs.

why Water Puts Out Fire.

Water puts out fire for two good
reasons. First if thing is covered
with water, the oxygen OF the air
cannot get at it to burn it. But.
that is not nearly the most impos
ant reason why water puts out fir6V
1t is that water has a great capacity
for heat, and can hold great deal
of it. 1t takes so much heat into
itself, and so quickly that it lowers
the temperature of the burning
thing so that it can no longer burn.
