GIRL, BEAR AND PRISON.
Sadie McMackln, the fifteen-year-old
daughter of a farmer residing in
the New Bergen district, had a terri
fying experience on a recent night,
writes the Cross Fork (Pa.) corre
spondent of the Philadelphia Record.
She had gone alone, at 4.30 o'clock
In the afternoon, to fetch the cows
from a natural pasture In a sugar
maple grove, nearly a mile from the
house. Among the eight cows that
constituted the drove were two black
heifers, '' both undersize. The girl
caught the sound of the bell on the
wether cow, and started on a short
cut across the corner of deep woods
that ran for miles beyond the maple
grove.
When in the thick of the timber
she spied what she at first supposed
to be one of the undersized black
heifers browsing among the bushes.
An instant, later, however, when she
was barely only a rod away, the ani
mal straightened up and the girl
found herself face to face with a mon
ster black bear.
The bear, himself affrighted by the
sudden appearance of the girl, raised
on his haunches and began chattering
his teeth a defiant attitude assumed
by the animals when cornered.
Miss McMackln believed the bear
was about to attack her, and turned
to run. She was within sight of a
dug-out shanty used for the storing
of the camp kettle and other sugar
making accoutrements, having upon
It a heavy door fastened by a large
wooden latch. The girl ran for i-ef-uge
' to this cave-like apartment,
snatched the door open and popped
Inside, Jerking the door Ehut behind
her.
The bear by this time doubtless
was scampering away, for when the
girl peered out through a knothole in
the door bruin was nowhere to be
Been. She then made the discovery
that she was a prisoner in the stuffy
little cave, for the heavy wooden
latch on the outside ha3 fallen into
place and held the door firm.
There was no way of reaching the
latch on the ins'.de. It was as dark
as a dungeon, and her stirring about
had disturbed a colony of bats, whose
ugly forms, ia their Bhort-circuit
flight, bumped against her head and
hands and face. Siia shouted, but
,her voice could not penetrate the
heavy door of the cave, and for near
ly four hours she was a prisoner in
the cave. At the end of that time a
searching party carae close enough
to the cave for Sadie to make herself
heard and Bhe was released. The
girl, however, was in a state of fright
bordering on hysteria, owing to the
flight of the bats and fear of reptiles
In the cave.
, WHY THE GAME APPEARED,
t Not long ago a monument was un
veiled at Pretoria over the grave om
the late Paul Kruger. The once su
preme figure of the African republic
Is now remembered more for his mis
takes than for his achievements.
Pate dealt hardly with the old ruler
who played so great a part in the
making of a sturdy nation. Death
found him not even a citizen of the
country of which he had been presi
dent. He died in exile, his land In
subjection to a foreigner. Imperious
and domineering, he went out of life
beaten man.
Kruger possessed a Bismarckian
gift for blunt and vivid phrases.
"Go back and tell your people nev
er, never!" he said to a deputation.
"And now let the storm burst. Pro
test! Insist! What Is the use? I
have the guns!"
"My friends," he once began a
speech; then, perceiving some "out
landers" In the audience, he added:
"But you are not all friends; some
are thieves and murderers. Well
friends, thieves and murderers!"
The president was a curious mix
ture of piety and shrewdness. A
story is told of an incident which oc
curred in his earlier days.
At one time, when game was very
scarce, he went with a party to hunt
the hartbeest. They scoured the
veldt for days without a sign of their
prey. Paul Kruger announced then
his purpose of going into the hills to
pray for food, like a patriarch of old
He was gone for a number of
hour 3. When be returned he an
nounced that in three days a large
herd would pass that way. The par
ty camped; in less than the appoint
ed time the, prophecy was fulfilled,
and much game was secured. The
Boers hunters were much struck with
wonder, and dubbed Kruger "the
man of prayer.
Some time after, the Kaffir who ac
companied Kruger on his expedition
of petition told the truth of the af
fair. Kruger, when he left the hunt
ing party, had struck out for a neigh
boring Kaffir kraal, and informed the
natives that his men were starving.
If they, the natives, did not discover
game in three days, he said, he would
. bring his whole party over the hill
and kill every Kaffir. The natives.
being sore afraid of Boer methods,
all turned out, scoured the region,
and drove the game to the Boer camp,
Thus Kruger'i "prayer" was an
wered.
CAPTURED BY SIOUX.
The winter of 1856-7 was one long
to be remembered by the people ot
Iowa and Minnesota for Its bitter
cold weather, deep snow and violent
storms, which rendered communlca
tlon between the different settlements
almost impossible. Many of the set
tlements were on the extreme fron
tier, and absolutely unprotected and
defenseless. It was during this win
ter that the Sioux attacked and de
stroyed the family of Mr. Rowland
Gardner. They killed all except a
young daughter, Abble, who was tak
en into captivity, but was rescued
through the efforts of the United
States Government. In "The Spirit
Lake Massacre" she tells something
of her captivity:
"Whenever the Indians thought to
torture me by threatening to take my
life I would merely bow my head.
My tearless acquiescence and willing
ness to die seemed to fill them all
with wonder. They thought it a sign
of bravery.
"Soon after my capture one of the
warriors, who was sitting by me one
day in the tent, thinking to test my
courage or to bp amused at my fears,
took his revolver from his belt and
began loading it, while he gave me
to understand that he would kill me
as soon as it was loaded. I merely
bowed my head to signify that I was
ready.
"When the revolver was all loaded
he drew back the hammer and held
the weapon close to my head. I
quietly bowed my head, expecting he
would do as he said, but Instead of
that he lowered the weapon, and
looked at me as if astonished, and
then laughed uproariously. So
amused was he that he told his com
panions of it, and it was a favorite
subject of conversation.
"These Indians were at a loss to
know what to do with much of the
plunder they had taken. Among the
spoils were quantities of soda and
cream of tartar. They interrogated
me as to their use, and when I told
them we used it in making bread they
wished me to make some. They
seemed greatly surprised and pleased
when they saw the bread "grow" dur
ing the process of baking. Although
pleased with the "growing," they
were too suspicious of being poisoned
to eat any until I had eaten. Then
they devoured it greedily."
STERLING STUFF.
One always feels a bit sorry for the
boy who has the responsibilities of
life thrust on him too early; yet the
qualities brought out in the lads of
whom Mr. Cozzens writes in his "Aca
dia" are worth far more than the
careless Joy of youth, and the reader
feels like taking off his hat to the lit
tle fellows. Mr. Cozzens, traveling
in Newfoundland, put up for a night
at a fisherman's cottage. The host
was known by the name of "Red
Cap."
As we sat down to luncheon two
boys came in, one thirteen years of
age, one eleven. After modestly
shaking hands with the guest, they
quietly seated themselves together in
a corner of the fireplace. They were
dressed in plain, homespun clothes,
made something in the manner of a
sailor's rig. Their shirts were of
neat check and their shoes were old-
fashioned, low quartered and round
toed. It was not usual to Bee such
stocky, robust figures as these fisher
lads presented, and indeed over all
the hutch there was one pervading
idea of cleanliness and careful house
wifery. Each little face, although modest.
had its own tale of hardihood to tell.
Something of the open sea was writ
ten on each countenance, something
of courage and endurance, faith and
self reliance, compass and rudder,
speaking out plainly under each little
thatch of white hair.
.As we found out afterward the
faces spoke the truth. These two
fisher boys were their father's only
crew. In all weathers, in all seasons,
by night, by day, the parent and the
two children were together on the
perilous deep.
"It I were father of those boys," I
whispered to "Red Cap," "I should
be proud of them."
"Would ye?" returned the father,
eagerly. "Well, I thought so once
mysel'. It was once when a schooner
got ashore out there on the rocks.
We could see her Just under the
lights of the lighthouse, pounding
away. By reason of the ice no one
would venture to her, so my boys
said, said they, 'Father, we can go,
anyway.'
"I wouldn't stop after that, and we
got beside the schooner and took oft
all the crew, they mostly dead with
cold. It was an awful bad night,
what with the dark and the ice. Yes,
they are good boys!"
MAD RUN WITH WILDCAT.
With a struggling wildcat held
tightly to his breast, John Sieh, a
farmer near Lake City, Iowa, ran
four miles for aid. The animal had
leaped at the farmer's throat as he
was hunting quail In a plum thicket.
The heavy collar ot his coat saved
Sieh. The farmer threw his arms
about the animal as Its claws lacer
ated his flesh and tore his clothing.
Then ensued a fight for life between
the hunter and the wildcat. The
struggle required all of Sleh's
strength. He was four miles from
home, and when he obtained a grip
on the animal he started to run home.
Two neighbors killed the wildcat
with a bullet while Sieh still held It.
Sieh collapsed when freed from his
dilemma. New York Herald.
At the theatre at Namur the per
formers making their debut are ac
cepted or rejected for further per
formances by the votes ot the au

ALL IN MISSION STYLE.
The modern baby sits in a mission
high chair, of course. But the latest
and most practical wrinkle for the
nursery is the low table with its lit
tle low chairs, at which the young
sters are safer from draughts while
at their games than on the floor. And
these tables, thanks to an era of sol
id furniture, are substantial enough
to keep their feet against the mad
dest Juvenile riot. The mission high
chair has the same desirable quali
fication. Dolly herself sleeps In a
mission bed, makes her toilet at a
mission dressing table. Benches and
desks for youngsters who have school
work to do at home come In the same
style.
INFLUENCE OF ODORS. -The
influence of odors upon the
spirits cannot be overestimated. An
excellent and invigorating perfume
to be used in 'the house is made from
sea salt and violet. Put some sea
salt In a wide-mouthed bottle and
pour In a few drops ot violet perfume.
Close the bottle tight and let it stand
a while; then open, and you get the
smell of the sea salt with a slight
tinge of violet. This Is excellent to
use in the bath. Another perfume is1
made by adding a grain of musk, a!
little essence ot violet, and a tea
spoonful of alcohol to the sea salt.
Let stand three days before using.
A handful of this in the bath will give
forth a sweet scent.
DRYING CORN AND BEANS.
The old way was to boll, then
shred the corn from the cob and dry.
Try this way, which a reader recom
mends: It possible, have your corn
ready the night before, or have some
one to husk and silk while you pre
pare the corn. After it has beed
husked and the silks drawn off, cut!
the grains down; do not cut too close1
to the cob, and scrape the rest; have
a hot oven ready, put the corn In
bread pans and let it cook until, when
stirred with a spoon, no milk will
show. Keep well stirred while cook'
ing so it will not burn. Have a
stretcher ready, and scatter your
corn on it. Now, while this has been
cooking, you can prepare another
panful and slip it into the oven as
soon as the first panful is out. In
this way one can dry all the corn an
ordinary family will use. By this
process, the mill; is cooked to the
corn and does not dry up in little
particles.
To t-' f. stretcher, take any long
strip of cloth, and tack the cloth
along the edges on either side to
boards or strips of lumber and nail
piece across the ends something
like a quilting frame. Stretch the
cloth as tight as possible without
tearing it. A 100-pound weight flour
sack makes a convenient Bize for
handling. The Commoner.
If kerosene is used for cleansing
the rubber of the clothes wringer it
will make it as good as new.
To remove coffee stains rub the
spot with glycerin and water and
they will disappear ob if by magic.
Heat a lemon thoroughly before
squeezing it and you will secure
nearly double the quantity of Juice
that you would if It were not heated.
When putting away knives and
other steel Instruments oil them
slightly and wrap them In tissue pa
per. This will prevent their rusting.
Apple Jelly may be Improved by
adding to It water, In which the core
and trimmings ot pineapple have
been boiled, and the liquid strained.
Linseed oil is the very best thing
to use on stoves that are stored
away. It will prevent their ruBting
much better than will either lard or
kerosene.
To toughen lamp chimneys Im
merse the article in a pot filled with
cold water, to which some salt has
been added. Boil the water well,
then cool slowly.
A good way to clean mica in a
stove that has become blackened
with smoke is to take it out a:id
thoroughly wash it with vinegar. If
the black does not come off at once
let it soak a little.
When a scale or crust has formed
on the interior of a teakettle it can
never be as satisfactory as before,
but It is a good plan to prevent the
crust from forming by keeping a
clean shell always in the kettle.
To revive black velvet hats or
toques, well sponge the hat or toque
with a small quantity of paraffin,
then thoroughly brush and leave In
the open air for a few moments; this
will quickly remove all smell, and
cleaned In this way velvet will look
equal to new.
Home-made mucilage Is excellent
Buy ten cents' worth ot gum traga
canth. Dissolve it over night in two
quarts ot rain water. Add twenty
cents' worth of alcohol and water un
til it is ot the risht consistency. Stir
well and bottle. This will keep for
one year. It desired, half the amount
may be made up at one time, or even
one-fourth of the original recipe.
This is a satisfactory mucilage and
much cheaper than when you buy it.

Future Occupations and

By President Eliot, of Harvard. '
T-?TH ftttnra rupi,nntlnna anri
I I are to be in some respects different from those of the past, and
I they are to be more various. The ordinary physician has for the
last nunurea years been almost exclusively a man aevoieo, iu u
treatment of diseases already developed in human bodies or ol
lnlurln alreadv incurred. He made his diagnosis, and then
Bought remedies and a cure. He was the sympathetic and skil
ful helper ot sick or Injured persons. Most of tbe cases that came under bit
care were cases considered plain as to symptoms, period and accepted treat
ment. The minority of cases were obscure, and called for unusual know!
epdge and skill in discerning the seat of the disorder, or the approximate cause
of the bodily disturbance. Hence the special value ot the experienced consult
ant, who was ordinarily a man of some peculiar natural gift of body, mind o:
temperament, possessing also In high degree the faculty of keen observation
and the habit of eliminating irrelevant considerations, and ultimately finding
his way to the accurate, limited Inference from the facts before him. Both
the ordinary physician and the consultant have already been much helped by
the extraordinary progress made In medical science during the' laBt thlrtj
years, but they have been helped chiefly to a surer recognition of diseases es
tablished in human bbdtes, and to a better treatment Tf their patients' dl
eases when recognized.
The physician or surgeon commonly renders a personal service to an in
dividual, sometimes for a pecuniary recompense, but often without money
compensation. He Is often a trusted adviser in the mo3t intimate family con
cerns. Births and death alike bring the physician into the home. In render
ing these services he must be tender, sympathetic, considerate, pure-minded
and judicious. There will always be need, crying need, of the phyBiclan and
surj:eon In this sense, and for these functions; and whatever else the regular
education of the physician provides in the future, it must provide all the
eloaents of tfhe best training for the practising physician who Is to treat dis
eased or crippled human bodies, and give advice about the sudden and th
chronic ills which afflict humanity. So much will continue to be demanded
of all good medical schools; but much more they must do.
The progress of what we call civilization exposes human beings mor
and more to the ravages of disease. When savages come in contact with men
called civilized, they Invariably suffer from diseases new to them: When a
rural population crowds into cities, it falls a victim to diseases from which
in the country It had been exempt. When hundreds of thousands of peopl
huddle Into small areas, and create there smoke, dust and noise, they suffel
not only from diseases, but from the exacerbation of diseases not wholly un
known to them in the rural condition. Under such favorable conditions ol
residence and labor the human body degenerates In many respects, and, los
ing vigor, becomes In some respects
ease.

has existed far about three-quarters of a century, and which has
a dopth of only ten feet, and a width of not more than thlrtyslx

April, 1824, nnd was completed In October, 1829. During the period of its
existence 708,000 vessels, carrying merchandise to the aggregate weight of 40,
000,000 tons, have passed through it. Its largest traffic In any one year was
1,318,000 tons in 1872; but although the traffic has since decreased, it amount
ed, even last year, to more than 700,000 tons, carried In 6447 vessels, besides
tens of thousands of pa-ssensers conveyed through the wnterway on the isrics
Bon Line sUnmshlns. The Initial cost of this canal, which is thirteen and five-
eighths miles long, was only $2,500,000,
for repairs ha-a only been about a million and a half of dollars. No fewer
than seven canal routes havo been surveyed at various times across the penin
sular sertaratlna the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. They vary in length
from' 13 5-8 miies to 53 3-4 miles, and the estimated cost of construction
ranges from about $8,000,000 up to $42,000,000. It is, as we have said, only the
two shortest routes which the present canal commission 13 directed to ex
amine. When the new Chesapeake and Delaware Canal shall have been fin
ished, an artificial waterway deep and wide enough for battle-ships will next
be called for between Philadelphia and New York. The Delaware and Rarltan
route may be selected for that purpose; or perhaps a more northerly Hue
might be preferred. Harper'B Weekly.
