lie-
ills his musket. Farmer Jasper took his hired
man with him The sheep pasture is a small
one. The farmer postcd himself atone side
if ihelot, Uh tho opposite side of the pas-
.arc there are first a few yards of thick un-
lvl'lll‘llh'll. and then a piece of woods that ex-
lwnd back to the loot. oi‘ the ridge. On that
min the farmer posted his hired man.
The night was bright starlight. The hired '
.nan, who did not rciish his job, lay down by
the stone wall inside the lot. He was not
armed, him and instructions to give the alarm
to the farmer by shouting if he saw anything
in the shape of hear stealing into the field.
llc had not been in his place more than a
qua- ter of an hour when he heard a noise.
Looking up he saw a big animal, which he
naturally supposed was a bear, climbing over
the stone wall not twenty feet away. The
bear dropped down into the lot and was
quickly followed by three smaller bears.
The hired man was so badly scared that he
was unable to utter a sound. The four bears
shuffled of‘r‘ toward the grazmg sheep, which,
discovering the presence of their foes, began
scampering wildly away to the farther cor-
ner of the lot. The bears followed the fright»
ened flock. Their course took them close to
where Farmer Jasper was standing guard
with his musket. He had discovered them
as they charged upon the sheep, but somehow
he forgot what he was there for. It was not
until the bears bore down upon him and
threatened to run over him that he remem-
bered his musket. Even then, as he said
afterward, he did not know what he did. Dc-
velopments showed that either he had placed
his gun to his shoulder and fired, or there
had been a. sudden earthquake.
The report that came from the opposite side
of the field had the effect of bringing the
hired man to his senses and loosening his
tongue. He jumped to his feet.
. “Bears! bears! bears!” he yelled.
Then he scrambled over the wall and lay
down in the bushes. A few seconds later he
heard the bears charging back toward the
spot where they had entered the pasture. He
raised his head and peered up from the
bushes. He saw one of the bears rise up on
the wall. The next secondit had jumped into
the bushes. It came down astride of the ter-
ror stricken hired man. and hurried away
toward the woods.
LOOKING OVER THE FIELD.
The bear had hardly passed over the hired
man when a second one plumped down, one
paw actually striking the man in the back.
That bear was quickly followed by a third,
and so much of its body struck the hired man
that it left him almost breathless. No more
bears came over the wall, and the terrified
farm hand ventured to raise his head and
look up. He grew cold and almost fainted to
see the enormous head and shoulders of a
fourth bear appearing above the wall. This
one was evidently having difficulty in getting
over the well, for it was some time before it
alighted on the ground at the hired man’s
side. It remained where it had alighted for
a moment, and then with a groan that raised
the farm band‘s hair, it fell heavily to the
ground, and rolled with two or three convul-
‘sive throes across the legs of the reluctant
agriculturist. At that moment Abel Ben-
nett, one of the hunters who had been trying
to get the bear that was depopulating Farm-
er JaSper’s sheep pastures, arrived at the
wall near where the hired man had been
posted, be having heard the report from the
pasture, and hurried over to see what it had
resulted in.
After a time Bennett succeeded in getting
enough out of the hired man to think that it
might be well to find out what had become of
Farmer Jasper. They found him lying on
the ground at the foot of the stone wall where
he had posted himself. He was just recover-
ing consciousness. He was taken home,
where it was found that his shoulder was dis-
located. Bis right arm, from the shoulder
down, was badly bruised and swollen. The
farmer could recall nothing that happened
from the time he saw the four bears march-
ing down upon him. From what the hired
man said about the passing of the bears, Abel
Bennett concluded that the last bear was still
in the bushes and dead. He went back and
found it, get help and took it to the farmer’s
house. It had nine buckshot in its heart. The
beer was a 300 pounder. Next morning the
army musket was found in the ”road, twenty
feet from where Farmer Jasper was found.
The chain of circumstantial evidence was
strong enough to leave no doubt in anybody’s
mind that the old army musket had got its
work in at both ends—Sol Ridge Cor. New

Left Legged Humanity.
”Professor Bali. m “Le Duadisme Cerebral,”
speaks of man as a right handed animal.
Being right handed. it '5 popularly assumed
that he is also right legged, but this does not
appear to lw the case Standing working
with the right hand there isa tendency to
usc the left leg for balance. Many people
find less exertion in going round circles to
the right than to the left ,
i'iu the majority of the movements are
more readily performed to the right. as danc-
ing. running. etc The rule in walking is to
keep to the right, and this appears to be al-
most universal. It is more natural to bear
tothe right (if a large number of people
arom the hotter educated classes asked about
tiieexistencc of a rule. only ii? per cent.
males and 53 per cent. females were aware of
the rule. the larger majority obey it uncon
sciously in walking Crowds tend to bear to

the right, and vice versa. From measure
ments of Dr Uni-sch of the skeletons of the
two legs. in 54.2 per cent., the left was the
longer and 2.23.8 the right. For measurements
of the foot. the writer collected the drawings
and nicnsznx motifs of 200 pairs with the re-
sult that in H per cent. the left was longer,
in 2 .5 per cent the right and in 31.5 per
cent. they were the same size. Measurements
at the first joint gave 56 per cent. larger, and
at the ilistc1)43.5 per cent. From the table
of the figures it is observed that the left foot
is the more frequently the larger in the male
than in the female sex, and the percentage of
feet of the same size is greater in the female.
The percentage of the right larger than the
left is very constant, whereas the number of
the left larger than those in which both feet
were the same size are much more variable.
Man, being; naturally or artificially right
handed and lcf t legged, tends unconsciously
to bear to the right; lower animals, on the
of her hand, appear nearly always to circle to
the left—Pall Mall Gazette.
St. Paul's Church. Norwalk. Conn.
The rectory. a charming and spacious
house, whose diamond paned windows are in
keeping with the old trees in front and the
moss grown stones in the church yard near
by, is situated next to the church. In its
library are kept some interesting old books.
[saw a Bible of l760 and a prayer book of
1770 in whose litany changes had been made
after the revolution. In the prayer for “the
lords of the council and all the nobility,”
these words were crossed out and “the gov-
ernor and rulers of this state” inserted.
There was also a prayer book of 1795. In one
of the old books I saw prayers for Queen
_ Charlotte and George III.
One would need almost an inspired pen to
describe the surroundings of this historic
church. That and the rectory form a pict-
ure not easily forgotten. It is said thata
great traveler who once visited Norwalk rev
marked, on looking at the buildings trans- .
figured by a flood of moonlight, “It is more
like an old English church scene than any-
thing I have looked upon in America.”

tor John Sherman attended St. Paul’s, and

Photo-Wood Engraving.
A method of photo-engraving direct on
wood is announced from Russia. The wood
is boiled in a solution of sulphate of copper
and afterward in a solution of carbonate of
soda, which fills the pores with insoluble
carbonate of copper. The block is then
dried, its face brightly polished and the sides
and back coated with an asphalt varnish.
The face is coated with bichromated gelatine,
and after printing is developed with warm
water, as in the carbon process. A coat Of
asphalt varnish, carefully applied, adheres
only to the portions from which the gelatiue
has not been removed. The block thus pro-
tected with varnish is placed for an hour in
strong nitric acid and then for an hour in
strong sulphuric acid. When taken from the
acid the unprotected parts of the wood will be
found to be eaten away and the block may
be cleaned by rubbing with a hard brush.
The varnish on the face is removed by soak-
ing in benzine and the block is at once ready
to print from. While this process may be
satisfactory for reproducing diagrams and
coarse line drawings, we would point out
that, for any fine works, printing on paper
and transferring to the block, so that the
print may be developed from behind, would
be far more likely to give clear and perfect
results—New York Telegram
A Race with a Car.
It is a common enough thing to see pedes-
trians run after cars,- b'ut'it was reserved for
a. well known society gentleman to hire a cab
to overtake a car. The Olive street owl was
hastening westward at half-past 12 o’clock
the other night, and was rolling along down,
the hill from Seventeenth street at a lively
rate. When Twentieth street was reached,
those on the rear platform noticed a. cab
dashing down the hill at a furious rate.- The
owl cur nag: were spirited, and covered the
next two blocks in fine style, but the cab
gained, and was soon within hailing distance.
“Stop the earl” yelled the cab driver.
“Perhaps there’s a murderer or a highway
man on the car,” suggested some one. '
The car was stopped at Twenty~third
street, the cab driver whirled alongside, a
handsome young man jumped out, boarded
the car, paid the driver a nickel, and, as the
cab drove ofi‘, he remarked: .
“Been chasing this car from Eighth street.”
“Blamed if it isn’t Steve von Phul,” shout-
ed some one.
“Yes,” he went on to explain, “the driver
had a load, so I gave him a dollar to catch
this car.”—St. Louis Republic. '
What He Was Paid For.
A stylishly dressed and vivacious looking
young lady with abundant golden hair and
rosy cheeks narrowly escaped being crushed
by a cable car at the junction a few after-
noons ago. The car was almost upon her
when one of the big, accommodating special
policemen seized her in his arms and lifted
her safely to the sidewalk. Hundreds of peo-
ple Witnesscd the gallant performance, and
the young lady blushingly darted through
the crowd and hurried on down -Muln street.
Presently a young man of decidedly dudistic
appearance in dress, but muscular in strength,
who had seen the special policeman bear the
blonde beauty to the ’Iidewalk, stepped up
the'car tracks. He had stood there statue
like for a few minutes when the officer said:
' “Move on there, young fellow.”
“What’s the matter with my standing here
and helping you to rescue some of then
pretty young ladies!” rotor-tad the young
men.
“That’s what I draw my salary'for, so
move on,”.grimly rejoinedthe oflcer.

!
Were it not for the serious interest involved
the recent history of the sparrow would ul-
imost be diverting. From the time when P
.Catullus lamented the death of Lesbia’s pet
‘up to now the common little bird, whether
leading a sooty existence “on the housetop
lonely” or out in the open, has inspired a cer-
tain semi-contemptuous affection, a dimin-
ished form of the feeling that made Burns
turn the woeder-clips aside and spare the
thistle. It has always been associated in'thc
.mind of the English and Scotch colonist with
home. Far away in Australia and New Zea-
land, as well as in America, the eziled Euro-
pean used forty years ago to long in vain for
the sound of its cheerful chirp and a sight of
its familiar feathers. Indeed, this patriotism
went so far that a vast amount of energy
.was expanded in order to acclimatize it—the
amateur naturalist little dreaming of the
plague it promised to become. '
During the fifty years intervening between
1831 and 1881 no fewer than sixteen attempts
were made in as many different places to in-
troduce the bird to the States. Nor was sen-
timent the only motive at work. It was vig-
orously asserted that the sparrow wasa faith-
;ful ally of the farmer and a wholesale de-
ivourer of insects. For a length of time the
experiment proved an utter failure; but in
1852 the Brooklyn Institute took the matter
lup, a committee was formed and over £40
isubscribcd to induce the sparrows to emi-
’ grate.
l Probably encouraged by such an overflow
of kindness, this time they settled down in
lreal earnest to the work of colonization. As
lsoon as a few of them became accustomed to
'the climate they built nests and spread and
Imultiplied over the face of the earth until, in
.the words of a recent agricultural report,
they in 1886 occupied an area of 886,000 square
.miles and were st.ll increasing. From Maine
'to Kansas the sparrow holds the field. It
.fiutters round the home of the copper miner
fin Arizona, and it is familiar among the
ranches of Mexico. Ornithological history
does not record any other such swift multi-
plication as that of the sparrow between 1875
land the present time. .
l One of the most curious things about it is
that once it gets established in a foreign land
it adapts itself with wonderful rapidity alike
ito extremes of heat and cold. And it is one
let those birds which are not easily fluri‘ied
by an accident. It will go to sleep in an
iempty railway carriage, to be transported
lhundreds of miles Without visible discompos-
'ure. Unlike birds which have well marked
ihaunts the sparrow makes no attempt at
housing. It settles quietly where the train
stops and establishes a colony there. To this
habit New Brunswick owes its present wealth
of sparrows.
The development of such an abnormal apt-
iitude for reproduction has had the effect of
entirely changing the attitude of the public
'toward the sparrow. Whereas, a few years
ago, it was cheaper to import the bird from
:England than to buy it in New York, a re-
.ward is paid for their destruction. For it
|has been proved beyond question that, far
.from being a friend of the farmer, the spar-
row is his bitter enemy. Indeed, there is no
llonger any doubt of that, even at home,
iwhere farmers and gardeners complain of an
3increuse almost as noteworthy as that in
{America
i The farmers of the north of England have
.‘combined to pay the destroyers of their eggs,
land the necessity for a similar organization
[in the Midlands has been mooted. Where
ithey are in large numbers there is scarcely
gany limit to the mischief they are capable of
ldoing, and men who are not prone to exag-
gerate declare that on the headlands, which
éare in proximity to such cover as a thick
lhedge, the crop is frequently reduced to the
'extcnt of 50 per cent. Their breeding season
[is over just before the corn begins to grow
iyellow, and brood joins to brood till the crop
:is numerable by thousands.
3 “When disturbed in one part they remove
:to another, and although a tremendous slaugh
,ter may be accomplished by a wide muzzled
'g-un charged with sparrow drift, they soon
get too artful to expose themselves to many
{shots of that kind, the old cock giving the
ialarm as soon as an approach is made.
i In Great Britain the increase seems to be
idue to two causes. Although the sparrow is
iprotcctiou act, it shares indirectly in the im-
lmunity provided by that - measure, as coun-
'try people who have never seen the act com-
lmonly interpret “wild birds” as meaning all
‘wild birds. Secondly, in the days anteriorto
, a issue of gun licenses, cottagers reduced
{the number to protect their own little gar-
idens, and there were plenty of humble sports-
}men' ready, for the fun of the thing, to shoot
‘tbcm for the farmer. Besides, sparrow shoot-
ling from traps was the ordinary rural sport
of holidays. Then, again. facilities for their
breeding are enlarged by the gradual depopu-
ilation of the remote districts.
It is not in the fields alone, however, that
the sparrows are mhchievous. The gardener
has even more reason than the farmer to de-
lsire, if not their extermination, at all events
in diminution of their number. During early
{spring they seem to have a special liking for
lthe tender young vegetables,‘und pull them
Sup immediately they thrust their first shoots
[through the mold—peas. lettuces, cabbage
plants and beets being especial favorites.
lThey also play havoc with the fruit trees and
idelight to nip the buds of gooseberry bushes,
3' ch and pear trees. Indeed, they are natu-
gfiyso restlem that if they have nothing else
ito do, and are not hungry, a flock will de-
istroy fruit or vegetables apparently for mere
amusement. ‘ .
i In California they are charged with an
ioffeuse even more dire. They do so much
-' arm to the vines in the grape growing di's-
,‘tricts that- we are told, “unless steps are taken
{to wipe out the pest at the earliest possible
moment, the result probably will entail a loss
to the state of many thousands if not millions
iof dollars.”
l Nor can it be said that the case against the
sparrow rests on indefinite evidence or care-
em observation. Some time ago Professor
.Riley examined the crops of 522 birds sent to
the American Department of Agriculture,
and, as a consequence, found nothing what-
lever to say for them. In only forty-seven did

This Remedy is the Prescription of
one of the leading Physicians of Paris
France,and was used by him with unparalleled success for over thirty years,
and was first given to the Public as a

since that time it has found its way into almost every country on the face
of the Globe, and become a favorite remedy withithousands of the leading
physicians.
Medical societies have discussed its marvelous success at their

found that it contained no opiates, br
amides, or other harmful ingredients
quietly placed it among their standard remedies.
