A aabatitute had to bt provided for him cv.ii M ttf last grand rehcar.-al. "1 wonder that Mr. Boss ilidn't choose some one who had more time to give him," Bessie remarked. o do I, agreed her cousin. "I told Ned as much, b it no, my dear, he thinks more of Mr. Benson than of his own brother, ami won't have even him in his place. Indeed, I lelieve he is really grateful to Mr. Benson for coming at all, and it is hard for him to get off. You see the head of ÜM firm la ill. end in Kurope, and only Mr. Beaaon can fill his place.

But for the energetic und almost human action of one of the liears in the cage at tity park, one afternoon lately there would have lieen a death by drowning in the colony, says the Denver BePtlblienn. One of the beare

in the enge held the head of another under the water until the first was marly asphyxiated and would probably have held the victim there till he died had not a third bear in the tage become alarmed at the struggle of the drowning animal and rushed to the rescue, getting him out of the water barely in time to save his life. As it was. the watersnaked bruin .c nearly smothered and the rescuing bear hatl to roll him about considerably before he had recovered, the b.-.tst which nearly caused the casualty Iwcame conscience-stricken over the possible se-

riou- resnl of h. prank and during the rest of the afternoon showed by

his deferential manner and solicitous demeunor that he was thoroughly penitent. There were seven animals in the lear pit at the park, three being on one side anil four on the other. During the heated weather a hose is sprayed constantly into the pit. On one side of the pit is a trough which i- full of water and in which the bears roll and toss throughout the day. The other afternoon two or three bear in one eompar I ment, after playing around the eaye for some time, rolled into the water, where they continued ciiftinir and hauling each other about, evidently In play. After a scuffle one got the other's head in his paw. and. throwIn? the weight of his lnily on him, pushed his body, load ami all. under water, holding it there firmly. The victim straggled hard, but the top lenr had lata absolutely under control and he was unable to raise his head out of the water to breathe.

The third le;ir waVhed the antics of the top bear for some time in an apparently disinterested manner until it nppenred to suddenly dawn opasj

him that there was some danger. Then he jumped into the Iropgh), and. pushing the top lear away, drained the recumbent and almost lifeless form of the under animal out of the trough onto the cement floor of the ate. For a short time it appeared a Ihough the hear was really dead and the offending bear was commenciiur to whine piteously when the nearly drowned animal snorted and opened hi eyes. Within half an hour all was erene in the cage, hut the two lears did not pl.iy in the w.it r sny more. Saaila as Wlnditw f bsiern.

POPULARITY OF TINY PIPES. Proiluel of n Little Town in llollnuil htCtJ I" iOW in BttsTh I n ir.

put

ass CO tear ago.--Chicago ( Lruuieie.

There are no pipes iu the world at present as popular as those which are manufactured at tiouda, a little tow:i in Holland. Thev are very small and

there are three kinds of them, one kind being formed of red. another f black and a third of white earth. They are all. however, of the same shape and of the -ame dimensions. The stem is five centimetres in length, a millimetre and a half in diameter

OUtltle and three-quarters oi a millimetre inside. The bow 1 is ten millimetres in height: its greatest interior diameter is six millimetres' and its interior is four millimetres. The total weight, of the pipe is only half a gramme and the quantity of tobacco Which it holds amounts to only a few grains, which barely suffices for a single puff, says the New York Herald. "The Chinese," says M. Delauney, a writer, smoke wnat are called instantaneous pipes, since the tobacco

in them is consumed after two or

three pnffn. The Oooda pipes evi

d.'iitlv would not satisfy them, as one

puff suttees lo empty them. ..'either Would they satisfy the Doers, who are n.ustomed to keep their pipes for-
