A Vacillating Bear,
My negro gardener came to me one |
evening in great alarm, and stated that
his twin sons, Mango and Chango, had |
taken out his gun in the morning, and
had been missing ever since, 1 at once
loaded my rifle, loosened my Cuban
bioodhound, and followed the man to
his hut. There I put the dog upon the
boys’ seent, following on horseback
ysl, 1
t turned out that the young sceamps
had gone on the trail of a large bear,
though they were only thirteen years
old, aud their father had often warned
Ay not to meddie with wild beasts.
Th® began their adventure by hunting
the bear, but ended, as often happens,
in being hunted by the bear; for Bruin
had turned upon them, and chased
them so hard that they were fain to drod
the gun and take to a tree,
It was a syoamore of peculiar shape,
sending forth from its stem many small,
but only two large, branches. These
two were some thirty feet from the
ground, and stretohed almost horizon.
tally in opposite directions. They were
as [tke each other as the twin brothers
themselves, Chango Jook refuge on
one of these, Mango on the other,
The bear hugged the tree till he had
olimbed as fur as the tork. There he
hesitated an instant, and then began to
creep aiong the branch which sap
ported Chango. The beast advanced
siowly and gingerly, sinking his claws
into the bark at every step, and not
depending too much upon his balancing
powers,
Chango's position was now far from
pleasant, It was useless to play the
trick well known to bear-hunters—of
enticing the animal out to a point where
the branch would yield rh its
great weight, for there was no higher
branch within Chango's reash, hy
catohing which he could save himse..
from a deadly fall—thirty feet sheer.
Three more steps, and the bear would
be upon him, or he wouid ba upon the
ground. Brave as the boy was, his
teeth chattered.
At this moment, Mango, nerved to
heroism by his brother's peril, moved
rapidly from the epposite limb of the
tree. Stepping behind the bear, he
grasped with one hand a small higher
wugh, which extended to where he
stood, but not to where his brother lay;
with the other hand, he seized the ani-
mai firmly by its stumpy tail. The bear
turned to purish his rash assailant:
but, angry as he was, he turned ecauti-
ously. It was no easy task to right
about face on a branch which already
had began to tremble and sway beneath
his weight.
Chango was saved, for the bear evi- |
dently had transferred his animosity to
Mango, whom he pursued, step by step,
toward the extremity of the other limb.
But Chango was not ‘the boy to leave
his brother and rescuer in the larch. |
Waiting until the enraged brute was well
embarked upon Mango's branch, he
pulled is tail, as he had seen his
brother do before. Again Bruin turned |
awkwardly, and resumed the interrupted |
chase of Chango. i
The twins continued their tactics with |
success. Whenever the bear was well |
sdvanced on one limb, and dangerously
close to one twin, the other twin would
sally from the other limb and puil his
tail. The silly animal! always would
yield to his latest impulse of wrath, and
suffer himself to be diverted from the
enemy who was almost in his clutches.
After two hours of disappointment,
he learned his mistake. He was now,
for the tenth time, or Chango's vranch,
and very near Chango. In vain Mango
dragged at his hinder extramity; he
kept grimly on till Mango, lorced to
choose between letting go the brute's
tail or the higher branch: which enabled
tim to keep his feet, let go the former.
Chango could now retrest no further,
and he was hardly a yand teyond the
bear's reach, Tae branch wis swaying
more than ever. and tie beast seemed
juite aware that he might tax i's
strength too far. After a pause he ad-
vanced ome of his forefcet a quarter of a
yard. To increase the bear's difficulty
in seizing him. the terrified boy let him-
seif down and swung with his hands
from the bough.
He was hanging in suspense between
two frightful deaths. His heart was
sinking, his fingers were relaxing.
‘hen the deep baying of a hound
struck his ear, and his hands again
ciosed firmly on the branch. In a mo-
, 8° hinodhound and a horseman
sprang through the underwood.
Chango heid on like grim death—held
on till he heard the sharp report of a
rile ringinz through the air; held on
till the faliing carcass of the bear passed
before his eyes; held on till 1 had

A Modern Romulus.
In his interesting work, entitled
“Jungle Life in India,” Mr. Ball has
adduced good reasons for believing that |
the old classical story of the rearing of
Romulus and Remus by a she-wolf may
pe founded on fact. This author cites
the ease of two lads in an orphanage at
Sekandra, near Agra, who had been
discovered among wolves, and in many
ways shared the habits of these ani-
mais. One of his stories is supported |
by a letter from Professor Max Muller,
It says: A trooper sent by the native
governor of Chandaur to demand pay-
ment of some revenue, was passing along
the banks of the river about moon, when
he saw a large female wolf leave her
den, followed by three wheips and a lit-
tle boy. The boy went on all-fours,
and when the trooper tried to catch him
he ran as fast as the whelps and kept up
with the old one. They all entered the
den. but were dug out by the people
with pivkaxes, and the boy was secured. |
He struggled hard to rush into every
liole or den they came near. He became
alarmed when he saw a grown-up per-
son, but tried to fly at children and bite
them. He rejected cooked meat with
disgust, but aelighted in raw flesh and
bones,” putting them under his paws
like a dog. They tried to make him
speak, but could get nothing from him
but an. angry grow! or snarl. Another
instance is quoted as having occurred at
Chupra. A Hindoo father and mother |
went out to cut their crop in March, |
1843. The woman had with her a little |
boy, who lately had been severely!
burned on the left knee. While the
parent were at work the child was car-
ried off by a woll. Some years afier-
ward 4 wolf with three cubs was seen |
about ten miles from Chupra followed
by a boy. The Boy, Alter much resist |
ance, was caught and recognized by the |
mark of the burn on the left knee. He!
could eat nothing but raw flesh, and |
could never be brought to speak. He |
used to mutter and snarl, but never |
articulated distinctly. The pans of his
knees and the points of his elbows had
become horny from going on all-fours
with he wolves. In November, 1850, |
this boy escaped again and disappeared
into the jungle. Thus the *‘she-wolf's
jitter” of Macaulay's “Lays of Ancient
Rome” may have been, after all, no!
myth.

TALES OF SUFFERING,
Incidents of the Terrible Famine In
Ireland.
By direction of the citizens’ Irish
phia, their sub-committee on distribu.
tion addressed letters of inquiry to re.
sponsible parties in Ircland tor infor.
mation as to the extent and severity of
the distress in the several localities,
were the following:
Sister S. M. Teresa, of the convent of
Our Lady of Mercy, Cappaquin, writes
Since the famine years there was not, 1
helieve, such distress, beoause thefarm
ers and shopkeepers who wore able to
help the poor people, ofther by giving
them work or aims, are now as badly of!
as themselves. Many of the farmers
could not pay their rents and are sold
out. May our good God comfort them
and inspire those who have money to
be generous, at least for a few months,
when we are in hopes things will not
look so awfully hopeless as at present
When Katy's £10 came we commenced
the children's breakfast, which we have
continued to keep on ever since; but
ast week, when the numbers had in-
creased to nearly eighty, it was an
nounced in school that from Monday all
whose fathers were living should break:
fast at home. Although the father may
earn one shilling or one shilling four
penceon fine days, what is it but starva
tion when rent, fuel and food are to be
paid for? As to clothes, they are out of
the question.

How Mark Twain was Swindled,
In a recent interview Mr. Redpath
tells the following story of Mark Twain:
I think it was Mark's second year of lee-
turing in the East. Hetold me one day
that he was going to get married, and
he wanted me to go with him to buy
what you would have called a
** trousseau” if you had been 3 womasr
He bought enough for a century ortwo;
he comes from a long-lived rage, and
he had an eye to the future. He
was not worth more than $20.-
000 or S8BI000 at that time, 1
guess. He has made since over $100.-
000 by his books and lectures and inter-
ests in insurance companies at Hartford,
where he lives. He went and got mar-
ried at Elmira, where his father-in-law
lived. The Jatter was a millioraire, one
ofthe coal-mining lords. Mark had asked
his friends in the editorial office
select him a first-class suite of
rooms in a fashionable boarding house,
and to have a carriage ready to take his
bride and himself there when they came
back to Buffalo. He knew they would
and gave himself no more anxiety
about it. When he reached Buffalo he
found the boys, sure enough, at the
depot, with the finest carriage and span
of horses lie had ever séen in that city.
They drove him up to a handsome house
in an aristoeratic street, and as the door
was opened, there were the parents

As the story was told to "we
—1 didn’t get it from Mark—the bride's
folks had come up, without his knowl-
edge, by a special train. Mark went
from room to room, and found every
room furnished rxquisitely—some in
blue and some in yellow silks—the
furniture and uphoistery of the most
luxurious and expensive btyles. Then
he was informed ‘‘officially” that
he had been d:iven up by his
own coachman im his own carriage
to his own house. They say tears came
to Mark's eyes, although his wonder-

He is now over sixty years of age and

A Remarkable Cid Man.
Aaron McKenny, who died recently
in Maine, nged 104, was a most remark.
able example of vigorous health and ex-
treme conservatism. He was able io
take care of himseif to the lust. Up to
a few weeks before his death he shaved
himself, hoed his own corn, chopped his
own wood, He also knocked down a
man who had suggested the appoint.
ment of a guardian for him, which
brought on his first lawsuit, whe
he acted as his own council, earnestly
defending himself against a charge of
asanult and battery. He had never
been out of the town of Baco—he was
born there when it was named Scare
horough-~gave on one occasion, when he
followed a horse-thief into New Hamp-
shire and caught him. He had never
been on a railway train, and had never
sent or received a telegram, All the
wonderful improvements and inventions
of the age were to him as if they had
never been, Ha was born in the inst
century —December 21, 1777—o0ne year
after the foundation of the republic. He
hind never tasted liquor, except at some
patriotic celebration, like February 88
or yw 4, which he always observed,
and he had never taken wuedicine until
he had passed 100, Although a life-long
Democrat—he tad voted the Demo
eratie ticket since the formation of the
party—~he had never been sn candidate
for any office, and once, when appointed
by the governor a justice of the peace,
had peremptorily refused to serve, Hav.
ing married early, and having had three
shildren, who died in infancy, he be.
came n widower et thirty, and never re.
married.
