The let Hear. Mtuy ysars a N"-w II tmpsiiird bay fouuJ a very yosng bAr cub near Lika Wiaalplssjgee, aaJ carried it Lonia withhiin. It was fed aud brought op abjui the home of the boy's father, and b1.-c.1cu3 aa tame as a da;. Eary diy its youthful cipMt hid to g3to school at some dis'anea, and by degrees the bear became his d.ti!y compinioa. At flrt tlie other scholars w re shy of the creature s acn-i tiatanee, but ere long it became their regular playfellow, and they delighted in sharing with it tha littie store of provisions which th ey brought for their diy'a sus'.cmance in tml bgi. After two years of civiliz atioc, however, the bear wandered to the woods, and did not return. Search was nude for hitn, but ia Tain. Four succeeding years passed awa y, and in the interval chances bad occurred aboat the schcnil alluded to. An old dame had succeeded to the ancient master, and a new generation of pupils bad taken the pUc of the former ones One Tery cold winter day. while the cbool-uistress was busy with her hum ble lessons, a boy chanced to leave the door half open on Lis rentrance, and suddenly a large bear walked In. The consternation of the old lady .and her boy and sir's was unspeakable. Both school mistress and pupils would fr.ln have been "abroad," but the bear was In the path, and all that couM be done was to Cy a far off as possible, and bide behind the tables and benches. But the bear troubled nobody. lie walked quietly up to the fire-place, and warmed himself, exhibiting much sat isfaction in his countenance during the process. Ila rewtiaea r tuus about a quarter of an hour, and then walked up to the wall where the provender bags aad baskets of the pup'.UrwereJsuepend ed. Standing on Lis hind feet, he then took hold of ;thre successively, pat his paws into thera, and made free with tha bread, fruit and other eatablesitberein contained. lie next tried the school- mistress' desk, where; soma little pro Tialona usually were ; but finding ,it Crmly shut, ha "went up again to the fire.and after a few minutes' stay before It, he walked oat by the wsy be came As soon as the echool-mietrees and btr pupils had awurae to move, the alarm was given to the neighbors Severa' ysung men Immediately started after the bjar, and as its itracks ware perfectly visible la the snow, they soon came up with lc, and killed it. Than it was, by erta!n marks upon its skin, owe of Its purucra recognlzsd In the poor bear no enemy, but an old friend of their own recent school days. Great regret was felt for the death of the crea ture. It was like killing a human friend rather than a wild animal. Indian tihost.Feast. IS"ot long ago savaral hundred Sioux Indians held a crand "ghost feast" lu the vicinity of Fort Lincoln, Dakota, and the few whites wha witnessed the ceremonies were b!ghly interested. This curious feast Is held In great reverence among the Sioux, but It win ftxiu be abolished by order of the Indian Bureau, and, like the great "sun danca." be burled with the traditions of the past. The feast Is g'.van by the relatives of thcso who have died or been killed in battle. At the Fort Lincoln feast there were six "ghosts," represented by six stakes about four feat In length, set up in the ground within the medicine lodge. A pieca of buckskin was sewed over the top of the stakes, upon which were marked eyes, nose, and mouth, to rsp resent the head. Fifteen Indiana, with the big medleine man of the village, wera seated in a tepee, smoking, but rarely sieaklng to each other. Soma live coals were brouzht and placed be fore the medicine man, who threw npon them sage brush, and holding some pemmlcan tn the srmka chanted a weird song. Little chldren were brought In and given the meat to eat, and some bad their ears pierced. The pemmlcan was also given to the others in the lodge, and some placed at the feet of the ghosts. Around the outside of the medicine lodge horizontal poles were placed, and to these the presents which the ghosta were to distribute were suspend ed, consisting of blankets, legglns, beaded moccasins., tobacco bags, and eagle feathers. After remaining for come time la view, they weie removed and placed about the ghosts In the lodge. The relatives now entered the lodge to commune with the departed spirits, and the presents were distributed to the favored ones. The squaws sung and and cried, and made great exhibition of their grief. They cut their flash with knives, suffer lng excruciating pains without a mur mur to appease the wrath of the evil spirits, so that their loved ones may be Joyful in the happy hunting grounds. Upon the conclusion f the feast the lodge was taken down and the naked ghosts left standlog. Death ta Bed-Dug. Close the doors and windows of the room as tightly as conveniently possible and burn about half a pound of sulphur In the room. To guard against any vossiblllty of Are. put the sulphur in a shallow vessel and set It on a brick placed inside a pan partly filled with water. The sulphur may b more con venkectly lighted with a hot Iron than with matches. Open bureau drawers and other closed receptacles and let tbe bedding lie loosely around the room. At the end of the timet open the doors and windows and let the fresh air cir culate through. Do this from the out side of the room, as tbe sulphurous oxide is very suffocating. The room may be entered in a very short lime. There may be a slight odor of the sulphurous oxide In the room for a few days bnt this will harm no one. I have never known this method to fall.

An extraordinary siory, first publiah- d by a Viscca newspaper and then generally disbelieved, bas since been confirmed in every particnlir, says a dispatch from lenn : A young j raaa caLIns Limfelf Count Sander Vay, I who pretended to have fallen oat with his famJy in Hungary, married last August a teacher at KUzenfurt, aged 27, a daugnter of an inspector of woods ar-d forests there. The marrisjre took place oo a lonely farm in Hungary, a certain Ftuer Imre officiating at tbe wedding ceremony. "The newly married couple lived to gether some time, and afterwards visit ed the ffirl's parents in Kiajenfurt, where tbe father-in-law was constantly fleeced by the allf ped Count, yaarrels aroae, and ultimately it turned out tbut the young Count's tales of himself were all inventions. Tbep-rsonshe referred to were imaginary, and theiaspector was convinced he was a swindler. Some thing still stranger, and. indeed, un paralleled, boob came to light. Ere long it was found that the so-called Count was la reality a woman of 86, the Countess Sarolta Vay. daughter of the Colonel or ITonveda, Connt Landlslaus Vay, one of whose daughters, named oro!ta, had been educated as a boy. "All her life she had worn male at tire, and recently had appeared tn the uniform of the IIonvds. She published a collection ef peems under the name of Sander, acid associated with young men, who were not in tbe aecrst. In many amusements. From Festh, where ec centricities of that sort are hardly a rarity, she ditwppeared aVout a year ago, after which she was not Bpain heard of till her arrest, ob demand of ber nominal fatber-in-iaw at Klasnf ut. It is probable that Father Imre was not a priest, and that tbe girl, iu going through the form of marriage, only ex ecuted acother eccentricity an order to procure rsorer. of which she was In great ned.' feed Iroui Large Crops. Whenever an extra large crop of good quality has been grwu it it is worth while Vo pay rrorethan its market price for seed from it for future sowicg and plactlcg. The old rule. "Like pro duces like," has net been abolished, and, other things beicg wqnal, eeed from a good crop is likely to produce more and better than seed from a poor one. We always aeltct the teat ears from corn for p'.anting. With other grates It is cot so easy on a large scale to select Individual plauta In a crop to furnish seed. II is done partially by choosing tie largest, plumpest grains and winnowing cut the poorest oces, but many cf the heavy grains have been borne by wetter plants. Oa a field where the whole crop produces heavily, the bulk of the seed Is presumably good; but it may for that reason require richer ground and tnre careful 'cultivation to malataln Ha superiority. In talking with a farmer recently, be suggested that the gradual falMcg-c S In produc tion of the bean crop was owing to planting beans that were apparently all right, but which had been grown from plants producing few pods and not many beans In a pod. lie believed the pro lificacy of the bean crop could be enor mously Increased by breeding up, select leg 6eed for a series of years from plants that produced most. The experiment is well worth trjiug, but It must be re membertd that if this Increased pre ductiveness Is to be maintained, the plants biYiaj this prolifls habit must be da'y fed and cared for. An Immense Estate. In Dakota aad Manitoba tbe employ ment of single wheat estates of a hun dred reapers and an aggregate of three hundred laborers for a season bas been regarded es eoxetblng unprecedented in agricultural history; but on one sugar estate in Cuba Bi Balboa from fif teen hundred to two thousand hands invariably negroes, are employed, who work under severe diacilinen watches er relays, daring the grinding, season, by day and by night, tha Eauie as In the large Iron nulla and furnaces of the United States and Europe. At the same time there ire a few village com. munittes where a like number of peo ple experience the sar&e care and aur veillance. Tbe male workers occupy quarters wailed and barricaded from the women, and tbe women from the men. There are in every villcge an in firmary, a lying-in hospital, aphycician, an apothecary, a chapel and a priest. At n:ght and morning mas is said in the chapel and the crowds t re always lage. There is of a Sunday less re straint, though ceaseless espionage is never remit Ud. On these dajs and on p-irts of holidays there is a ru3e mirth, ruder music, and much dancing. This picture is given somewhat in detail, be cause it Illustrates bow all-pervading and tremendous are tbe forces that are modifying sockty everywhere in civil ized, partially oivllizsd, anrl even bar barous connrirs, cocjoiatly with the new condi'.ions of production and con sumption.

Tbe dissolution and decay of an animal fed on Impure feed Is much more hasty af ter death than thai ef one fed pure food. To BSLce extent it fs advisable to make a ec-avenger of the bog ; tut let him gather up things that djcay and be can assimilate with prcfltto the owner, before that decay and send off un healthy and offensive fumes, and not after tbey have decayed.

The compass needle poiuls to tbe north because practically tbe earth is a magnet, not differing essentially in its magnetic properties from a bar of mag netized steel. It bas two poles of greats est intensity, and like most large steel magnets there are several supplemental tolesof lesser intensity. Just as tbe pole of one bar magnet attracts tbe end of another, so tbe magnetic poles of tbe earth behave toward poles cf tbe compass needle, unlike poles repelling each other. It is well to modify tbe statement that tbe needle points north and south, as a matter of fact. There are but few localities on the earth where it does point due north and south, and these are constantly changing. An irregular line drawn from tbe moutb of tbe Orin oco River, through tbe east coast of Ilayti, Charleston, S. C, and Detroit, Micb., tepresents very neatly tbe line in which there is bo variation at tbe present time. In all tbe places east of this line the north end of tbe needle swings slightly to tbe westward; in all places west of it, to tbe eastward. At the mouth of tbe Columbia River tbe variation of tbe compass is about twenty two degree east; in Alaska it Is from forty to sixty degrees east; mi J way between New York aJ Liverpool it is about thirty fiye degrees west. The reason Is that tbe compass needle points, not to tbejgecgraphical,; but to tbe magnetic poles, and these do not ooicnide In position. The magnetic north pole, lsja present, on or near tbe south-western shore; of Booth in Penin sula, in tbe northern part of North America. Its position is constantly changing, and la the last five hundred years it bas moved about half tbe distance round the geographical pole. During the. three hundred years in which observations have been carefully made at the Mag netic Owservatory in Parts, the varia tions have changed from eleven degrees twenty minutes east of north, to twenty two degrees ten minutes west. In tbe United States tbe rate of the change in variations iff-rs much indif ferent parts of the country. In Wash iugtoa S.ate it cbanges'at the rate of about seven minutes a year; lc Arizona and New Mexico it is stationary; in tbe New England S'ae it is from one te three minutes per year. A Story of Dam Fedro. A story .is told or the ex-Emperer which well Illustrates bis cbaxaeter. Wbea with tbe Empress be visited tbe CenUunial.Exhlbitioa in Pbiladelpbia. and attempted to examine tbe exhibits, be was wedged in Immovably Vy a gap ing, exoiUd, bet good Datured mob. lie bre tb!s patieatly (or two days. On tbe third day he resolvedjon a bold change. "I ahall see nothing," he said to bis Secretary must be Incognito. Procure me some disguise." Tba next day a etout farmer, with a coat, cot of tbe newest, his wife on hi aim in a rather shabby merino gown, shouldered bii way through tba gates, and spent the day in a close study of the educatlcnal systems of different countries. Ttey thus quietly and un noticed continued their observations for a week. Oaeday tbey met a group ef twenty Brazilian civil engineers, students from a great polytechnic school. The young men stooped, hesitated in amazement, and then, with loud cheers and great excitement, saluted the farmer and bis wife, bowing to tbe ground and kissing tbeir bands. "It is tbe Emperor," one of them ex plained, with tears In his eyes, to a by. stander. "He is more than eur king ; he is tbe father of the people ! Out of bis own scanty pnrse he supports me and nine other orphans at our school. In every country be baa bis orphan boys iu colleges and universities that tbey may bring knowledge of all arts and sciences to Brazil. He bas jast made a tour ef liurepe, and he cornea here to find new Inventions and Ideas that may be useful to bis people." The beys gathered closely around Doui Pedro, while he asked each as to his health and scccea. He knew ench o "bla boy" personally, and was loved by them with a deep, grateful affeetion. Advantage ot PolitenCbS. , An elderly lady, passing down a busy street in Xew York, was overtaken bv a sudden shower. Sbe was some dis tance from any acquaintance, and had no umbrella. 6be was deliberating wLat to do, when a pleasant voice be side her said : 4Will jou take my ambrella, madam ?" The speaker was a boy. perhaps ten years old. 'Thank yon," said tbe lady. "I am afraid yon will get wet." "Never miad me, madam ; I am but a boy, and yon are a lady."
