An Ufl'y Viaitor That Cava Heraelf a
Warm Reception In a Settler'a Cabin,
Quick Retreat by the Inmates and
a Display of Pretence of Mind.
Two of the drst English settlers in
the towu of Addison, Vt, were Jobu
Strong and Zadok Everest Early In
the fall of 1770 Strong and Everest
had to go to Albany for provisions.
I'ioneer women seldom worried, but
for some reaon Molly Strong felt un
easy after ber hulmud bad gone. She
and ber sons gut In a good supply of
fuel and did the cbures early.
When they came back to the cabin
the baby was crying for bis mipxr,
and Mrs. Strong gave bliu a cup of
warm milk and wit him down in front
of the fireplace. Siio had JuKt swung
the kettle of wunp from the Gre when
slu heard a noise. I.oifking round, she
saw the blanket that served for a door
swing inside as a great bear thrust her
bead Into the room. The children
screamed, and the bear backed out In
baste, but Molly Strong knew that she
would return.
"Quick, children!" she said as she
caught up the bnby. "Climb the lad
der. Let slHter go up first, now John
nie, now Frank hurry, burry!''
When the others were safe In the loft
Mrs. Strong climbed up with the baby
and drew the ladder after ber. She
laid It across the hole, and then she
and the children sat down and waited.
The floor of the loft was made of
round poles laid closely together, but
not fastened. It was dangerous to
move about on It.
Peering down through the pole floor,
they listened and watched for the bear
to come back. They could bear bet
moving round the bouse, find once a
big paw crashed through the oiled pa
per at the wlnddw hole. Finally she
came to the door and, after blinking
uncertainly at the Ore, walked In. Two
cuba followed ber. The old bear prrV
ently upset the pan of uillk on the ta
ble, and the cubs began to lap It up
eagerly.
"I'd like a taste of that myself,"
Frank whispered.
"So would I," Johnnie replied. "I'm
awful hungry."
Next, the bear found tho pudding
kettle and took a mouthful of the holi
ng samp. Jumping back with a cry
of pain ami rage, sho broke tho not
with a swift blow of her paw, and then
sat up on her haunches, growling and
whining, and began to dig the pud
ding out of ber mouth. The cubs sat
and watched her In grave wonder.
That was too much for the children.
who burst Into laughter. Instantly the
bear gave a loud roar and rushed to
ward the hole with the ladder across
tt Mrs. Strong gnve hurried orders:
'Get me a pule, Frank, quick! Now,
get another. Fundi her if she tries to
climb up. Ro careful. Don't fall
through."
The baby, awakened by the noise, be
gan to wall, and Mrs. Strong soothed
him with one hand while with 'the
pole In the other she warded off the
bear. Tho little girl clung crying to
her mother's skirts, but the boys each
bnd n long pole and prodded the bear
through tho rungs of the ladder. The
big brute finally Hhulllod off toward the
door. She pulled down the blanket
and tore It Into shreds; then she went !
out, followed by her cubs.
'She's gone!" Johnnie said. "Do
yon think she'll coma back, mother?"
I expect she will, son, but we can
manage ber If we keep awake."
"I won't go to sleep!" groaned John
nie. "I'm too hungry!"
Nevertheless, tho silent wait In the
dimly lighted loft made them nil
drowsy, and before the bear returned
Mrs. Strong knew by their heavy
breathing that the children were
asleep. It was near midnight when
the bear cnine In and renewed her ef
forts to reach the lift. Mrs. Strong
rapped her sharply with her pule, and
there was n roar that brought the boys
to their feet.
Pawd mid only half awake, Johnnie
ran across the loft. His foot slipped
Into a gap between the polos, and as he
fell other poles spread apart. Down he
went Into the room with the bear and
her cubs. The bear did not see him
fall, but she faced about at the noise
and started toward him.
Quick as n flash, Mrs. Strong brought
her po'.e down on the nearest cob and
pinned him to the floor. The bear
turned to rescue her squealing off
spring, and Frank drew bis brother up
Into the loft unharmed.
No Injury to herself could have
weakened the old bear's courage like
the attack on her cub, and although
nt Intervals she slouched In and out of
the cabin, she made no further at
tempt to reach tho loft. As It grew
light, Mr. Strong, watching through
the chinks In the wall, saw her lead
ber cubs across the clearing Into tin
woods. As soon ns she thought It safe she
lowered the ladder and the family came
down. They saw no more of the bear,
and when Mr. Strons came home he
made the cabin secure with n door
made from Imsswood slabs and hung
on wooden hinges. Youth's Companion.
PONDEROUS SEA ELEPHANTS.
They Hve Te Foot Trunka and Flip
pers Tipped With Clawa.
That which is believed to be the lat
herd of sea elephants known to exist
Is to be found at Guadalupe Wand, off
the west coast of Mexico. In the herd
there are Jw only about thirty speci
mens. The sea elephant Is an Important Un
In the chain of evolution and la the
largest of all fin footed animals. The
adult male Is alout twenty-two feet
fii length and is about eight feet b'.gh
ben propped up on bia front flipper
In a natural position, inese sreui.
l.oiiu wf.ii.-h from two to three tons
and have a trunk, or proboscis, which,
when relaxed, hangs down over the
mouth about two feet Id the end of
this the nostrils are placed rather wide
apart, and when they breathe their
whole mass trembles in tiny undula
tions to the very end.
The flippers are thick and tipped
with heavy claws. There Is a tall
Hlxiut one foot and a half long, sepa
rated horizontally iu two divisions.
This tail acts as a propeller, to resist
the huge creature when he cornea In
through the breakers. He hoists bis
back flippers and tail so as to catch
the full sweep of the waves, and then
allows himself to be washed up on the
beach.
Coarse, bristly hair grows sparsely
from the back along the body, and a
tough protecting crust of flesh reaches
like a shield from the lower Jaw down
over the chest and round to the back
of the neck. Tills biblike affair Is
nature's provision for protection In
time of battle. The male fights vi
ciously in the mating season, and the
chest protector prevents much loss of
life
Sen elephants live on various kinds
of small fish and use the trunk to
seize them with. Afterward the food
Is transferred to the mouth precisely as
elephants manage It.
EGGS BY THE YARD.
Korea Alto Produces Oysters That
Weigh Ten Pounds Each."
While in the orient a correspondent
had occasion to call on friends who
lived near Seoul, the principal "city of
Korea. He tells the following story:
One morning my hostess, while glv
lug orders for the necessary things
from tho market for the day, mention
ed four yards of eggs. I accompanied
the steward that day on his marketing
trln. and when the eggs were asked
for the grocer reached down In a bar
rel and brought out the end of a
largo straw rope. lie measured off the
required leiipth on the counter, Just as
a dry goods store clerk would measure
off cloth, rolled It up and put It In the
basket without a smile. The eggs were
inside of this hollow straw rope, with
n string tied on the outside of It be
tween each egg. This effectually pro
tected tile eggs from being broken
while handling.
Another day my hostess ordered two
"small" oysters for dinner. This or
der caused mo to wonder a little, for 1
knew that there would be seven to
dine, besides the servants, but when
tho ovslers arrived all was explained,
for one weighed four and a half
pounds, and the other five pounds. On
Inquiry I was Informed thut some ot
tho oysters on the northern side of
Korea weigh as much as ten pounds.
