him with atoiiea and apeara and drive
him into tho wildemeaa. There they
leave him to hi fate. A few duya later
they return and collect a few well

with fitting ceremonies.
"Among nil the warrlori belonging
to a tribe with which I made a long so
journ, none had a more glorioua record
tbau Mixa-Miss. But Miaa-Miaa WHa get
ting old. Ill eye were dim, hia hauda
were alow, and rarely did he bring
homo a fat buck. Furthermore, food
Wo scarce, and Miaa-Miaa retained an
excellent appetite. One morning Miss
MUs got orders to be prepared to
receive the ueit day a delegation of
youug brave led by bia two stalwart
on.
"But Mian-Miss, though he had as
sisted iu many inch ceremonials in hia
. day, had not yet oome to eousider him
self old and useless. He was very angry.
Just as Miaa-Mis had done reviling the
Ingratitude of the youug a boy rushed
in to aay that a huge grizzly was feed
ing a short distance from the camp.
Hera waa the veteran's chance. All the
travel were away at the hunt Children
and squaws and Mins-Mlsa were the sole
ocoupauts of the camp. He knew that
to faoe a grizzly single banded waa
certain death, but it was the death of a
man. So Miss-Miss armed himself with
bia spear and tomahawk aud want forth
to seek the bear.
"He bad not far to go. Within a few
hundred yard of the camp he espied
the largest aud leanest bear he bad seen
for years, making a scanty meal off
dried roots. Crawling up as close as he
could, ha hurled his spear. The weapon
' struck tho bear in the flank. At he had
calculated, the wound bad no further
effect than to infuriate the brute and
turn its attoutinu upon him. Miss-Miss
took his stand with his back to a tree,
grasped his little tomahawk firmly and
awaited death.
"Now, bad it been an ordinary little
black bear tho peril of Miss-Miss woald
bave been small. A black bear would
have risen on its bind logs when it
came to close qnnrtetn, aud leaving ita
chest quite unprotected, tried to insert
ita paws betweou the man and the tree
in order to hug bim to death. All Miss
Miss would bave had to do wonld have
beeu to wait until it came within arm 'a
length aud plnngo hia bunting knife in-
to ita chest. One thrust would bave
been sufficient. But a grizzly ia differ
ent. It strikes with its mighty oluws.
Miss-Miss awaited the onset When the
bear came to close quarters, it rose on
its bind legs and made a migaRy, sweep
lug blow at his body. Setting bia teeth,
Miss-Misa struck at ita bead with hia
tomahawk. Tho weapon waa dashed
from bia grasp aud be waa hurled to
tba grouud, but, much to hia surprise,
uninjured. Instead of tba sharp olaws
in his side he had felt mighty buffet
s it from a huge boxing glove. Miss
Miss scrambled to bia feet The next
glanoo explained matters. Like himself,
' tba bear waa veteran. It bad lost ita
clawa long since. Miss-Miss dodged
round and round bia tree and from one
tree to another. Tho bear, whose sight
waa dint with age, aimed blow after
blow, with no other effect than that of
broiling its paw against the trunks.
The fight went on, aud Miss-Miss1
Viengtb was giving way, when through
an opening in the forest he espied the
blaze of the canipflrai close at band.
The bear saw it, too, and with a grunt
of disgust aud disappointment turned
round aud trotted back into the depths
of the forest to resume ita meal.
"Misi-MiM hastened back to the
" camp aud called the oldeat of the boys
together, "lake your lassoes,' be cried,
tond wa will capture a grizzly alive. '
Bo out they went When the party ar
rived within range, Miss-Misa whistled.
Tba bear raised its bead and the boys
cast their lassoes. One noose fell over
the brute s neck.
"When the braves returned in the
tvtniug, prepared to chase Miss-MiBs
into the wilderness, tbey found a huge,
roaring grizzly tethered in the middle
of the camp. No one of the tribe ever
had done such a deed. They oonoluded
the Great (Spirit bud willed that Miss-
' Misa should live, and Miss-Miss is alive
today and in, high honor with the
tribe. "New York Sun.

Herodotus gives a detailed account of
the ancient mode of embalming, which
is perhaps moro instructive than pleas

much preparation, which, to spare your
feelings, I will not deacribn, it waa filled

perfumes. It was then steeped in na

with golden harness, driven by a man

Mother Ooom.
The most popular children's book
ever written waa "Mother Goose's
Melodies. " Mra Goose, or "Mother
Goose, "as she waa familiarly called.
was the mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet,
a Boston printer, early in the last cen
tury When his first child waa born,
hia mother-in-law devoted all her at
tention to the baby, and, it is said,
greatly annoyed Fleet by ber persistent
and not particularly musical chanting
of the old English ditties she had heard
in ber childhood. The idea occurred to
Fleet of writing down there songs and
publishing them in book form. The
oldest extant copy bears the data of
1719. The price marked on the title
page waa "two coppera " Tbia account
of the origin of "Mother Goose" ia dis
credited by some critics, who declare
that in IH97 Perranlt published "Contea
de ma Mere 1'Oye, " or "Stories of
Mother Goose." The name "Mother
Goose" was familiar in Frenoh folk
lore, being need by writers of thia lit
erature over a century before the time

The Blank Maria.
In Boston's early daya a negress
named Maria Lee kept a sailors' board
ing house near tbe water front She
was a woman of gigantic aize and pro
digious strength aud waa of great as
sistance to the autboritiea in keeping
the peace. When an unusually trouble
some fellow waa on tbe way to the
lockup, Black Maria, as Maria Lee waa
called, would coma to the assistance of
tba policeman, and her services were in
such requisition for this purpose that
her name waa associated with almost
every arrest made.
Black Maria often carried a prisoner
to the lookup on her ahonlder, and
when the prison vau waa instituted for
the purpose of carrying prisoners it nat
urally enough waa styled tba Black
Maria. Journal of Education.

The Toronto Saturday Night tells of
a man who kept fitrrot being obliged
to go Into the country, leaving the cage
with the ferret in charge of a neighbor
till be should return.
The neighbor incautiously opened the
cage door, and the ferret escaped,
whereupon the owuer brought a claim
against him for damages.
The following was thn decision of
the learned magistrate before whom tha
cm so waa brought.
"Nodoubt," be said to the neighbor
"no doubt you were wrong to open the
cage door, but" turning to the owner,
"you were wrong too. Why did you not
clip the brnte's wings?"
