A second-rate pugilist had been hav- ing his own way in a rare western town, + where guns were less popular than fists, for several weeks. He knew enough of scientific boxing to do up the fighters thereabout, and had begun to think himself invincible in that par- ticular Idaho town, when Josh Miller, a trapper, came in from the Jack§on’s Hole region with a two-year-old grizzly bear ambling along at his heels as tame- ly as a pug at the end of a string. Naturally, taméd grizzlies were less familiar than the real wild ones, and so all hands gathered around to examine the beast, of which they had often heard, as Josk had taken it the year before from beside its shot-dead mother. \What's he good for?\ asked one of tho men; but Josh didn't know, unless it was for company's sake. Josh went over to the hotel and tried to engage a room for himself \and taumily,\ but the proprietor had his doubts for awhile, though. in the end he consented. It being nearly supper time, Josh headed for the dining-room, with the bear close behind. It would -have been all right, only an casterner and his wife were there. On seeing the bear,the man went under and the wom- an on top of the table at which they had been sitting. Josh and the bear compromised by eating in the kitchen, \where they warn't so darned sentimen- m1\ Meantime, the pugilist, who was named Will Caesler, had heard about tho bear, and so when Josh and his pet wont into the barroom Caesler anl several others were there waiting. Josh, ordered drinks for the crowd, and the bear got about a pint of \dead #hot,\ well sugared, in the wash basin, and enjoyed it hugely. Caesler got through drinking first, and went over and got astride the drinking bear. It is a point of etiquette out west never to interupt one's drinking, and even grizzly bears resent such breaches. \% ( fe s 2a \\k y ‘h‘,’ ‘\‘ DOUVBLED UP BY LIS BEARSHIP. 'The Wellsburg Rustler tells what fol- lowed: \The editor, who was present, saw a gleam in bruin's eyes at this moment, and noticed that the nearest door was not open. Ie opened it. Josh no- ticed the bear, too, and he got up in the corner where the bar and wall meet. The bear shook, and Caesler sprawled on: the floor. Caesler got up swearing and kicked the bear in the shoulder in a way to bring a grunt, but the dead shot seemed to have made the bear gen- tier, for he grinned, with drops drib- bling from his open lips. Josh, we no- ticed, got onto the bar with one leg on the far side as the bear raised on its hind legs and held its fore paws in front of him like a down east wood- chuck. - It was intensely amusing to Caesler to see the bear standing so, and, in a spirit of playfulness, his anger all gone, he led with his right, landing on the bear's lower jaw, and followed with a left hander on the neck with a swat that was very audible. The bearnodded and grinned his appreciation while the meu, except Josh and us, gathered around to look. A right and left fol- lowed, both landing smartly on the bear's tenderest spot-the end of his nose. - Then the bear reached out and mopped the pugilist's face with his dirty left paw, following with a cross wipe with his other sawdusty | paw, finally giving a surprising straight punch that landed on Caeslar hard enough to knock Bill Lawrence, who stood directly behind, down; but Cres ler was still on his feet, wildly waving his hands as if to keep his antagonist at a distance while finding his wind. \The bear took two steps forward find got a slight down serape on the nose again. | 'There was a double 'spat' and a bump. Caesler was lying in the corner all doubled up. 'The doctor found his jaw was fractured in three pluces. \Josh said to-Iny that he was very sorry for Caesler, and that he had often boxed with his pet. Josh is a quiet man, and one of the few that Caesler never licked nor tackled. Mr. Caesler is n valued citizen, and we sincerely hope that he will recover, having the assurances of the doctor that he prob- ably will if no complications arise.\ Not Too Old to Marry.

APRIL I4. l FIRE ENGINES IN TEXAS. | Great Times for the Natives When the Bells Sound the Alarm. Si Larkins, of El Paso, Tex., was t standing at the door of the Arlington : talking with a Washington friend a few days ago, when a fire engine. and hook and ladder rushed past with a I great clanging of bells en route to the , fire. \Great spectacle, that,\ i the Washington man. \Yep considerable show,\ responded the Texan. \Never see anything of that sort down in El Paso, I s'pose?\ said the Washingtonian, with a questioning in- flection in his statement. remarked contempt seemed to struggle for the mastery, and then proceeded to give him a few pointers on fires and fire de- partments as he knew them at home. \Why snorted Mr. Larkins, \if we couldn't get up a better show and more enthusiasm than that when a fire broke down and move over into Passo del Norte and live in 'dobes with the greasers. Talk about a 'great spec- tacle!' panorama if you could see the fire de- partment of El Paso turn out once. \Why man, it is counted the greatest honor that a man in our town can have conferred on him to be elected a mem- ber of the fire department. All the best citizens belong. When the big bell strikes you bet everything else stops until that fire is put out. Itis the ouly occasion when the deal stops at the faro banks, and when a fire comes on Sundays that teachers all dismiss their congregations with a mighty short benediction and hoof it for the scene of the conflagration. \Then you ought to see our engine. Double handles at each side. and room for four men at each handle. Every- thing painted red and a brass eagle on the top of the pump barrel. We keep four Spanish mules standin' in the stable all the time, barnessed and ready to pull out at a moment's no- tice. Hank Tompkins, the driver, -is the slickest man in his business in the whole southwest. When he pulls out for a fire you can bet your last simoleon everything else has got to stand from under. He turns the corners so fast that the boys on Red Betsey, as they call the engine, have to hang on to the outside curve to keep her from upset- tin'; sometimes she goes clean over, but not often, and it only takes a min- ute to right her agin. Sometimes the boys do it before Hank gets the mules to a dead stop, and off they go agin. \Oh! I tell you it is a grand sight to see Hank comin' down the street with his whip a-crackin' and then two little 'blue leaders just a-standin' on their hind feet and clawin' out at the air like. When he passes it takes half an hour for the dust to settle where he went along. An', then, you ought to see the crowds. Why, you never see anything like it. Men, women and children all turn out to see the boys lick the fire. When they go through 'Dobertown Hank mos' always runs over two or three greaser kids; they're always so slow 'bout gettin' out er the way. And dogs, oh, Lord! T'll bet I've seen 400 if there was one all runnin' an' rippin' an' barkin', behin' Hank and the engine. Sometimes Hank runs over eight or ten of 'em, but he can't stop for dogs or nuthin' else for that matter. * \Say pard, 'deed you never have seen & fire turnout in this town, if that which just went by is a sample.\- Washington Star. SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE. Some of Its Uses in the Arts and Manu- factures. ° Very few people have any correct no- tion of the number of uses to which the products of turpentine have been put. Let us mention some of the different ways spirits of turpentine enters into the arts and manufactures. Many who read this article by gaslight will re- member when they read their news- papers by the smoky light furnished by \camphene.\ This was before the in- troduction and use of petroleum. Cam- phene is prepared by mixing the reoti- fied oil of turpentine with alcohol. Al- though kerosene is now so cheap, the rectified spirits of turpentine is still backwood sections of the south. . Perhaps the most common uses of the arts, where it enters into the prepara- tion of paints and varnishes, and es- pecially in the manufacture of india- rubber goods. The paint and varnish annually, while the rubber industry re- quires about 3,500,000 gallons a year. But spirits of turpentine has other uses not so well known to most readers. How many would enjoy their salad oils and other vegetable oils if they knew that they were adulterated with turpen- tine oil? How many invalids know that their medicines contain spirits of turpentine, or that the liniment or ointment which relieves their 2ches and pains is largely composed of turpen- tine?--Lee J. Vance, in Appleton's Pop ular Science Monthly. Where They Hang People. \Pshaw!\ petulantly ejaculated Mrs. Dubby, looking up from little J. ohnny's geography. \I can't find it!\ \Can't find what?\ grunted Mr. Dub- by, with his nose buried in his news- paper. “Efligy.” “Eh?” . \Effigy I tell you! I have looked all over the map of Oklahoma and cannot find it. I was certain it-\ \Here now!\ exclaimed Mr. Dubby, emerging from his abstraction. \What's | that you are looking for?\ \They're always hanging people in Effigy, and I want to know where it is.

ScientiGic Expeditions Sent Out from Pgunsylvunia to Secure Relics of a Race Anterior to the Mayas. If there is one thing more than an- other which archaeologists would hail with delight it would be the discovery ; which would unlock the mysteries of | the Maya stone monuments and give to l the world the keys to the history of the early races of Central America, as the discovery of the Rosetta stone un- There has been for many years a dis- pute as to the degree of antiquity which is to be accorded to the remains that are found in Central America. One sa- vant carries them back to a time al- xnost contemporary with ancient Egypt, while innother will not allow that they are much earlier than the : days of the Montezumas or the time of the discovery of the continent by Co- lumbus. If the Maya tongue was as open a book as the records of ancient Egypt this question might be settled: Who were the builders of Uxmal? Whence came the ancient race that carved the strange figures and char- acters that are found on the altar slabs, at Palenque? No one can tell. After years of research we are but a little closer to the heart of the riddle than, we were half a century ago. Recently the inquiry has taken an- ; other turn and the effort has been made to ascertain something about the prehistoric races that it was sup- posed might have preceded the Maya Indians in the occupation of the Yuea- tan peninsula. There are in the hills, of Yucatan many caves, not large in . extent, butwhich it was believed would; upon investigation, show in the de- posits which might be found on their ) floors some traces of prehistoric man in that region. The earlier races found shelter in caves, built fires there, and in the refuse of the ash heap are found the bones of the animals they consumed and the fragments of the tools, utensils and weapons that they used. Relics of importance might be found in the hill caves of Yucatan, and so an expedi- tion was sent out from the University‘ of Pennsylvania to examine these caves and investigate the \kitchen middens,\ or \culture beds,\ as science calls the soil of which the floors of these caves is composed. The expedition was in ; charge of Henry C. Mercer and was known as the Corwith expedition, and Mr. Mercer has written an entertaining and valuable account of their re- searches. Ten caves were examined, and the method followed was that usu- ally employed in such cases. Trenches are dug across the floor with great care, the earth removed in layers and carefully examined for relies and frag- ments of pottery, bones of animals, arrowheads and other weapons. It was hoped that there would be found traces of a race anterior to the Mayas. In this the explorers were doomed to disappointment. They did not find any traces of the prehistoric man; but they found that the people who came to the caves were generally identical with the race that had reared the cities whose ruins have excited so much at- tention and wonder. They brought with them whatever degree of culture they were possessed of and had not developed after their arrival in Yuca- tan. It was also established that these people had reached the country in geo- logically recent times. It will thus be seen that not all the results of the ex- pedition were of a negative character and that some of them were of impor- tance from a scientific point of view. It was ascertained that in all probabil- ity the ancient Mayas were cannibals. They were an agriculfural people and not given to hunting to any great ex- tent. Nearly all the caverns contained wa- ter, and it was that fact which first led these earlier races to resort to them. The party devoted its entire time to cave explorations and did not study the ruined cities, The fact was estab- lished that no prehistoric ruce preceded the Mayas on the Yucatan peninsular, ; but no fresly clews were obtained as to ; how far back into the past that occupa- | tiontextended.-Brooklyn Eagle. Not for Carriage Wheels. It is not generally understood as it should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels seldom or never are subjected to lateral i strains. They need to resist only those strains which pass through their own plane and in this plane only have they | any strength worth speaking of. 'This is worth remembering when the use 1 of wheels of this type is being consid- ered for three or four wheeled vehi- ¥ cles, where the conditions are essen- ! tially different and where, in turn- ; ing corners rapidly, or in going over ground that causes the vehicle to be inclined sideways, a very considerable ' lateral strain may be brought upon the wheels-2 strain which the ordinary bicycle wheel is, very properly, entire ly unfitted for.

I 'bery. HOW IT IS DONE. METHOD OF CHOOSING A BISHOP AND SOME OF THE ARDOUS DUTIES ATTACHED TO HIS Q1 «TCB. 'The methods of choosing a bishop is as follwos: 'The irremovable priests (there are 10 in the diocese, and they re- main in their parishes for life) select three names. These are marked, for in- stance: \Father John, good; Father William better; Father George, best.\ The names are then sent to the Arch- bishop. 'The Bishops of the provinces also select three names marking them as described. Frequently it happens that the priests and bishops select the same names, but there is never any consultation as to the man. The names are forwarded to Rome and the selec- tion is there made. Sometimes, how- ever, it transpires that the names thus submiuced are not agreeable, and the Pope makes a selection of his own. To be eligible to the position the priest must be at least 30 years of age, well known for learning and morality, a citi- zen of the country wherein the bishop- vic lies, and acceptable to the Govern- ment thereof. Within three months from his confirmation the candidate re- ceives the rite of consecration. 'The new bishop takes the oath of allegience to the Pope and the oath of civil allegi- ance, subscribed to the confession of faith, receives the insignia of his office, is annointed and solemnly enthroned, and the ceremony is concluded by the newly-made Bishop pronouncing. the benediction. In his own diocese it is a bishop's duty to teach. He himself is required to preach the word of God, unless he be lawfully hindered, nor can anyone, secular or regular, preach in the diocese without his consent. He must watch over purity of doctrine and appoint pro- fessors in the seminary and clerical col- legos. He must guard the morals of his flock and especially maintain discipline among his clergy. He must take meas- ures for the due performance of divine worship. and see that the people are providedy with sacraments; he must confirm and ordain priests, consecrate the holy oils, clmrches,‘alters, chalices, etc., as well as approve priests and give them their facilities to hear confessions and administer the other sacraments. He is obliged to visit all the other churches of the diocese at least every two years. So. it will be seen, the life of a Catholic Bishop is indeed a busy one. A VAIN SACRIFICE. ALBERFT BOULWARE ATTEMPT ING TO RESCUE EBN TOMBED MIN- 'ERS LOSES HIS LIFE. Butte, Mont., April 11.-Another life was sacrificed yesterday in an endeavor to rescue the seven men entombed in the Hope mine at Basin. Albert Boul- ware, one of a party of men who at- tempted to go down the shaft to rescue the men, was overcome by foul air and died before he could be taken out, His body was left in the mine, and his com- panions had a narrow escape.. Other parties were also driven back. Superin- tendent Bach says it is not probable than the bodies can be reached in two weeks. Against Commercial Union. London, April 11.-The Statist has sent letters to the various colonial lead- ers, asking their opinion of the recent speech of Mr. Chamberlain, colonian secertary, advocating a commercial union of the colonies. In reply to this letter J. Hofmeyr, a leaderof the Af- rikander party, has cabled form Cape Town expressing his opinion that the proposal embodies an excellent idea, but fears that fiscal reasons will ren- der it impracticable at present in South Africa and many other colonies. C. C. Kingston, Crown Advocate of South Australia, cabled merely ,; that the subject ought to be courteously and carefully considered, and Prime Minis- ter Turner of Victoria, declined to ex- press any opinion. R The Australian press are generally onhstile to the proposal. 4. Enterprising Citizens.

The murder was committed for rob Oliver Goldsmith published his \Citi- zens of the World\ under the name of a \Chinese Philosopher.\ Much to his annoyance, the pen-name struck the fancy of the humorists of his aequaint- ances, and for a time he was called nothing else. On one occasion a visitor to the club of which he was a habitue inquired of a gentleman in Goldsmith's hearing if the Goldsmith he had read so much about was really a Chinaman. \George Eliot\ is so well known under that name that thousands of her readers are unaware that her real name was Marian C. Evans. She chose a maseu- line name from the fear that she thought if it became known that her writings were those of a woman they would not be so well received.
