FROM THE TALL TOWER, Up in the tall tower above the great town, Looking out over roof, dome and steeple; I would tell of the sights as seen in the dawn, And something of the good people, The city lay bathed in the mist of the morning, Objects appearing but dimly to view; Until the golden sunlight adorning, Presented a ploture that grandly grew, Blowly and softly the gray curtains lifted, Revealing the landscape that framed in the soene; Away o'er the hilla the mellow mist drifted, Leaving the atmosphere clear and serene. From this point you have an untiring view, « An open history lies at your feet; Dbjects that speak volumes to you, Of themes you're prone to repeat. Tall church spires pointing the way, To a city far out of sight; By faith we may at the last day, Attain this glorious height.

On right and left lie the silent cities of the dead, Their white slabs glistening in the sun; They the onward march have led, Ours as truly and surely bas begun, To the South lies the beautiful Potapsco, Arm of our grand old bay: and ge, And swift steamers walk her watery way.

One by one the lights like torches gleam, From lamps and window pane, From dizzy heights like stars they seem, Then from the deep dark depths they wane, D'er the dark waters, from the distant towers.

Perhaps our youthful readers are not as familiar with the dancing bear as some of their European cousins. I can remember the crowds of children who were wont to gather in the street when the man and the performing bear came round. Of course it was very funny and interesting to see Bruin tumbli about in his clumsy fashion, but doubt me if kind childish hearts would have so enjoyed the pantomine had they known the suffering it entailed to poor Bruin himself. It is by such severe cruelty that the bear is taught to dance that he always remembers it, and labors under the essence ot pain and fright every time he is commanded to jig on those broad hind feet of his, The species of bear that 1s adapted for this kind of entertainment is the common Brown Bear of the mountain- ous districts of Europe. They are found from high latitudes in the Arctio circle to the Alps and Pyrenees of the south. Besides this we find their homes stretching westward into Siberia, Kam- tschutka and even Japan and the north- ern part of our own continent. The poor people of Kamtschatka may well regard the bear with veneration and re- spect. The Laplanders call him the + g of God. They are dreadfully afraid ol offending him for fear he should show revenge and destroy their So they very politely speak of him as by old man ih the Sur cloak.” The r is very useful to the people of cold Joutntuln-Rattschathsfor furnishes them food.

The skin they make into beds, coverlets and complete dresses—and Yory funny things these dresses are, hood, gloves, and leggings all in one, so that the Kamtschatkan dressed in his fur suit looks like nothing so much as a funny furry animal wai™.ny on his hind legs for amusement, The intestines they use to form a partly transparent material like coarse gold-beater’s skin, which they use for windows, lamps and also for masks which they are obliged to wear to pro- tect their faces from the scorchin glare of the sun during spring. O course you all know that we are talking about the “Land of the midnight sun” where they have but two seasons in a ear, the one like day, the other night. ‘heir sun never sets day or night for six long months and then they lose it and have a long six months of night with nothing save the pale northern lights to guide them on their way. We have not distributed the bear en- tirely yet. His bones are left. These make them all sorts of useful imple- ments and the shoulder blades are used in particular to form a kind of sickle for cutting the grass, The bear is very fond of his own company and forms a den to live mn himself, sometimes by digging and sometimes by padding a nice conven- jent hollow with leaves,shielding it with branches and lining it with moss. Bears get fat in summer and then go to bed and sleep all winter. It looks lazy doesn't it? Bear cubs are born in December and January and are very funny amusing creatures about the size of young pup- pies. The Romans were in the habit of i keeping bears for their wild sport when | they turned a man into a large arena i and set wild beasts on him for the | amusement of seeing him torn to | pieces, In England, far back people used to { hunt bears and win great honor and | gifts when they eaptured one and | sented 1ts head.
