Mr. Doiby was still looking at that
photograph. He started to smile grim

, the Incident aud he thought It a mean
; trick on the part of Mrs. (Jay to give
him away, lie bad thought hunBclf

bole backward and 1 we ted things and
sprained hla back he just naturally
shouted out, the same as Judge Lan

Mrs. Gay should have realised the
provocation and kept the affair to her-

The deacon dfJu't blame Iwr ouo bit,
but os he bad now reached the photo

cluiined to Iw the original discoverer
of tbe Atlantic oceun, he wanted to

"If that was all, Samuel.' ealtl Mrs.

You are not Raying a word, Samuel,
but I know you remember all about It
Can't you get me the kitchen towel to

Tbe deacon ne ver moved. He had
struck an attitude, and be thought It
safest to maintain It. Besides, he was
now looking at the photograph of an

In America to discover that heavy

Jumped up and began kicking tbe cow.
He counted the kicks, and there were
Just twenty-six of them. You called

fluid hadn't come out and screamed I

np. ' Think of It Samuel-iblnk of It!"
Samuel thought of It and tbe more
be thought tbe more be wished he had
knocked the cow's horns off. He didn't
say so, however. He was In one of bis
silent moods. Mrs. Dolby was per
mitted to weep for the next five min
utes nnd wipe her eyes on tbe skirt of
tar i!repp, iml It was almost a relief to
hear her flually say: ,
'WcIl, Samuel, you can go out to
your tutors, nnd I will He here and
die. You'll find mo dead when you
come Into supper, but don't let It both
er you. You can gut yourself some
bread uud milk, and If you want tea
you'll find the teakettle boiling. Fare
well, dear. I can no longer live with
a pirate. My place i with tho angels."
Mr. Dolby went nut and resumed his
digging, but bo hadn't unearthed more
than a bushel of tho white tubers when
Mrs. Dolby appeared. Rhe had dried
her eyes, slicked down her hair and
was even smiling as she oMsryed:

BEARS IN EUROPE.
Th.y Plagu. fh. H,fdsnen by ffatdlnf
Although the last bear was shot
In Gormthy in- 1835 near Traun-
atfin, in Savariaj bear hunting and
trapping still go on In the erj
heart ofEuropj. InjfransyTvanta,
HuiSinuT. .Bosnia and Croatia, all
mountainous regions, there are hun
dreds of bears, and scores of them
are killed and caught every year.
They are the plague of the shep
herds and cattle herders yho pas
ture their flocks amonf the hiUs.
They feem "fo fear neither dog nor
men and boldly carry off sheep and
calves into the woods before the
y& ol the watchers .
in peasantry retaliate by using
the stolen animals as bait for the
robbers. The bear seldom coaenmee
the entire carcaju at one meal. He
either buries the rost or hides it
with leaves to eerv&jmotKer time.
The country people know this, and
they follow the bear a trau to tbe
place of concealment. When this is
found they determine the direction
in which he departed from his prey,
knowing be will return when bait
hungry by tho same path.
The trap is placed in this line
about a yard from the hidden car
cans. It is carefully concealed with
leaves and grass, and bruin cannot
help stepping on it with either his
fore or bind paws. When he is se
curely caught the herdamon, who
are mortally afraid of hiui, appear
and kill htm at leisure and in per
fect safety.
Ot coqrso the landowners and
sporting class generally do not get
their bear in this cowardly way.
They hunt wtth dogs and shoot the
game when it is run down.
But this it not easy work. Al
though there ale plenty of heart in
t mountain region, it Is not uncom
mon for a hunting party to travel a
whole day without getting a shot at

Hhe was wondering over It when he
said:
"For the last year there has been a
hot dispute between the suvants as to
the Insects occupying the upper strata
of the atmosphere. We know that tbe
lower strata are teeming with bouse

200 years savants buve let It go at that

"But what have you got to do with

"I I didn't mean It for nonsense."
"Then you are a born Idiot I might
have known better than to sit down
and talk on any serious subject with

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Car. of the 8:wing Machin. Direo
tions For OHinQ.
Half the secret of fine work on
the sewing machine lies in the oil
ing. Tho oil holes should never be
clogged.
In case of this accident, however,
a crochet hook will be found inval
uable us a means of cleaning them.
When a machine lias been put away
for a time it is kvt to clear away
all stagnant oil t.fore attempting
to work or to relubricate the ma
chine. Tins may bo done by squirting
kerosene liberally into the holes as
if oiling them and then working
tho needle lor a few minutes on a
piece of calico until the bearings
are quite clear. Machine oil may
then be applied.
Do not oil too frequently and be
careful not to overlook any of the
holes, as thi causes an undue strain
on some part of the mecliunisiu.
Before sewing carefully wipe oil
the machine, with a small duster
kept for tho purpose, tho platform
and tho wheel and see that the shut
tle is free from cotton waste or dust.
Never leave the machine unprotect
ed when not in use.
R.oov.ring an Umbr.Ua.
Umbrellas cun be recovered at
home so that they will look as good
a now if the .work is dono carefully
end neatly. Begin by removing the
old cover and the metal top which
holds it at its top edge. Get a good,
smooth sateen or a firm piece of
taffeta or a softer silk if preferred
for the new cover. Use one of the
sections of the old cover for a pat
tern, laying it with the outer edge
on the selvage. Sew tbe sections
together, using a French seam
that is, first a small seam on the
right side, then turn it in and sew
it on the wrong side. Slip the cov
er over the rod and tack it securely
at the points and at the middle of
the ribs. Then tack the top and re
place the cap.
To Cl.an Tortoise 8h.ll.
Tortoise shell combs that have lost
their luster can be repolished with

When tho polishing has been effect
ed rinse quickly in warm water to
grit rid of the msto. Jt may." how
ever, be necessary to repeat the
process, as in many cases it is not
easy to obtain a very bright polish.
. Soap th. Boiler Well.
One often hears complaints that
the washhous e boiler rusts nnd iron
molds the clothes. To prevent this
rub the boiler directly it is emptied
and while still hot with any good
hOufchold soap, dive it a good
coating of soap, which will not
only prevent rust, but will also help
to inako tho necessary suds when
the boiler is filled with water foi
the next washing.
Papering a Room.
When papering a room remember
that large patterns and dark colors
will make it appear smaller, while
a plain or striped paper of a light
hue will give an effect of increased
size. White, cream, yellow and light
blue increase tbe apparent brillian
cy of the light. Bed, dark green and
blue and brown make the apartment
seem darker than it really it,

Use hot water and no soap for all

Use cold water and soap for tea,

ness of comparative frivolity, intel
lectually energetic beyond reproach.
But somehow when you have been
habituated to academic intercourse
at home they seem a shado inhu
man. One can Boon see why. It is
not that they lock humanity. In
private life they aro said to main
tain the convivial tradition of an
ccstrul Franco. But humanity and
work aro separate things, and to
them university work is a really
critical matter. They are not play
ing through throe or four years
which shall ripen them into some
thing sweeter than they might grow
to bo without this happy intervul
between the drudgery of school and
the strife of responsible existence.
They are assiduously preparing
themselves for a career of intense
competition. Their spirit 6eems
quite to lack the amateurish grace
so Cjiigngiiigly characteristfc of un
dergraduate life in America. In
contract, they seem intensely, star
tlingly professional.
In tho' best sense of this absurd
term, no doubt. It is not that
French students impress you as
disposed to trickery or subterfuge
It is only that in their whole rela
tion to university work they take
for granted thut they are occupied
not in the acquisition of that vague
thing which we call "culture," but
in a very palatable phase of the
struggle for existence. Their busi
ness as students is to inform them
selves as widely and ub accurately
as possible, and, above all, to gather
their information in some compre
hensive and comprehensible system.
That is why they are at the univer
sity. And they are enrolled under
the faculty of letters because they
aspire in due time to become mem
bers of such a faculty, if possible
ultimately in Paris. So far as my
oltforvutior. went there ii nothing
at urn French univcisity which
takes the place of timlergraduate
life in England or in America.
