Well, of course, Mere are all kinds of bears, just as there aro people. But I must say that if bears go hungry it ie not us- ually their fault. Sometimes, of course a Rough Bruin le sick in the summer time, end Illaininy Muff bas to wait on him and liaen't time to gather la a Winter's; Supply. Sometimes, too, :laugh Benin gets eanglit in a trap and never comes hem% Of course, in thew case, there is no fun that winter, and 11 the little bears live through it they are very thin tend starved looking. Things eke this, though, can only happen near where man lives. Bears have excelleta h•ealtie and it Is only when they have eaten some meat that has been poisoned that they ever get sleek. As you all no doubt 'snow, there is one day In the winter when the bears go out for a walk. On that day if there 0.10 110 men about they call on their neighbees anti if they find any peer euftering little one% tor that matter, they take them home with them and °axe for them till spring. The bears have no banks to put their money in, and one yeaaes provisions won't keep until the next, so there ie nothing to be gain- ed by being utingy. But away out in the forest where most bears live there are good tiMOS triNsraya. In early spring Rough Bruin taps the maple trees and makes the finest or maple taffy and sugar. Then he cuts his wood ttnil carries it home aaul puts it In the cellar. Then the .strawberries ripen and every morn- ing lie takes a csauple of palls and gone off to the berry banks and picks will strawberries. peel pats them away in jars. In July Thee he carries home nod Mammy llieft "does them down," and August Mammy Mutt and Shiver - and the Tiny Beat all go with Rough Bruin to the raspberry patches, and help Mar. That is great fun for the little Bears, though they zometimos get frightened by the snakes among the berry bush- es. Mammy Muff and the Babies go only every other clay, wbile Roregb Oruin goes every day till the last raspberry is pinked. Then the thim- ble berries conte on and then tbe blueberries, and then the apples. Between times Bough Bruin gathers in as meek honey as ho can, but Lo w to gat honey is one of the teings Rough Bruin teaches in Ids school winter mornings. Nearly all Bears, too, grow, a little field of oats in some clearing, and in the fall they take the oats to( a mill flown the river, kept by a Grlszly Bear. (The Grizzly Bear was once a common boar like the oth- ers, but the ostmeal finet has got mixed up eo with his hair, that he has changed his color somewhat, and pence he eats more porridge and less berries than the other bears, he bas grown a little larger than they are.)

With tbe Increasing demand for artiques, the supply a memento* and relics of past generations is becoming exhausted, and the prices of genuine pieces 0.1.0 waxing 'higher and higher, says the New York Tri- bune. .0111 candlesticks, for exam- ple, that have had such continuous; popularity, are scarce, and good specimens sell for almost stny price that the dealer feels 'disposed to charge. To tell old brass, copper and pewter from the modern imitation requires long experience and a trained eye. Brass varies much in color, its glade deperdlng upon the propertior of copper and zinc used in, its composition, and oleo on the hue of the copper employed. Cop- per itself assumes a variety of complexions. 'The old Spanish and Russian copper and brass are botb peculiarly rich in color, and re- tain their polish longer than others. rat the old pieces there is a snide nose of texture not found in the sorts made now. This is partly due, it is staid, tot the natural wear of the utensils. In some cases, Ouch as pots, kettles and fireboxes, the action of heat may be reeponsiele, la part, at least, for this quality. Colonial furnishings are the kinds most eagerly sought by millet:tors "The freaks of buyers of antique are one of the features of our business," said a dealer yesterday.

Duty Is not the highest theng bn the world, The man and woman wee do their 'duty, ever so faithfully. may fulfii the law and may be good citizens, but they will never ailitutahionr. to the highest type of Man- hood and womanhood. Duty is only valuable as it leads te something. A. Mall and a woman went forth' Into the world, and both were of noble birth. And the man's arms were strong and held his spirit. "I know my work," said the man* "and I will do my ditty'. Whatever ls required of me, In right, that will I do. According to my streligth will I labor." • And lie made hIghWays in the world, because it was his duty, and walked therein and called to others to follow atter aim. And they came, rejoicing in the path but they lost sight ef the pathfitider. And he succored the weak, be- cause It was his duty, • and lilted them up and set them upon their' feet, 'and they went forward and. found the way pleasant. All that the law required, that clid he, and the world was better and happier 'because he lived. When he died, as all men die, his fellows sald: "He was a just man, and maw - abiding. We respect his Memory, and will tell it to oar calldren." - But before the grass had grown green above the grave, his memory had grown dire and the way he had made was weed -grown, and men disputed much concerning it. The woman who went forth Into the world with him, was troll. And she said: "What can. I do? Sorely there least be a way through this wildern,ess, but who am 1 that it should be revealed to me 1" The law was not sbown to ber, or it it was, silo understood it not. But her heart was moved within her, and when he found :the weak suffering— even as she suffered—she bound up their wounds' . and anointed there', and kissed them upon the forebead. And she smiled on all she met, and whispered in hope, "There is a Way," so that many who despaired and lay clown to die, arose and went for- :ha:dm. 3:nd: her smile showed them .the way, that ehe hersele knew not But all the while she went for- ward anti took Many with her. When the years: had goat) by, the woman too died and :was laid be- side the man. And all the people said: "She told us there was a way, and went with us in it." - And the people wept, and Without knowing what they clic:, told their children oYer and over again, for generatiOns and generations, what the woman had said, and followed the way 'her simile had shown them. We meat not forget that our call- ing 1511. high one. How often we hear It saki in our prayer meetings. that We are to serve the Lord in little things. It le true, and it is a great comfort that it is true,t11;at the giv- ing of a gia.ss of water can 'please God, and the sweeping of a room can glorify Him, but woe be to ue if we are content with small service. Too much thought of little things belit- tles. We should attempt great things for God. Caleb said: 'Give me this mountain." Mary broke :the alabas- ter box that NMS exceedingly pre- cious.
