The Road Making Bear. Tho best road-ranker in Alaska, ac cording to an Alaskan guide of many years' experience, is the brown bear. Not only ave the banks of streams trodden into good trails by these great animals, but the swampy .places are dossed in every direction by paths leading to the hills. The Alaska brown bear, says the New Penny Magasine, is a great shag shaggy animal, varying In length from 6 feet to 12 feet, .ad weighing 800 pounds or 1,000 pounds. He has nil the courage and fierceness of his cou sin, tlie grizzly, and, having been so little hunted, is absolutely fearless of man. He makes a very dangerous adver sary, and It ls never safe for a hunter to go alone to attack him. Evidently the less supervision given to this branch of municipal labor th?* better. An International Music Exhibition. An international music exhibition is being held at the Crystal Palace, London, and will be continued until September, with the obje.ct of illustrat ing the progress of musical art dur ing the nineteenth century. The ex hibition, is divided into four groups: Musical instruments or appliances constructed or in use during the last hundred years; musical engraving Jind type printing; loan collections of in struments, pictures, etc.; modern oil and water color paintings of musical subjects. In connection with this ex hibition historical concerts are to be given. So far as actual^ trade Is con cerned there is nothing to Interest in that line. What WITT Become of China?

The writer was highly pleased with this display and observed with mnch satisfaction that it was favorably commented upon by visitors generally. The Grand Prise was awarded by the International Jury to Sluger Sew ing-Machines for. superior excellence in design, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adap tion to every stitching procesa used In either the family or the factory. Only One Grand Prize for sewing machines wr.a awarded at Paris, and this distinction of absolutely superior merit confirms Ibo previous action of the International .lory at the World's Columbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer Machines received fifty four distinct awards, being more than were received by a*ll other kinds of sewing machines combined.

Queen Victoria is said to have a knowledge of every detail not only of the various houses, but also of the parks and gardens connected with the many royal palaces, which ls wonder ful. Within a very few hours of the court arriving at Osborne the Queen makes a tour of these gardens which are close to the house, her first visit generally being paid to thc lovely myrtle painted by the Prince Consort in 1858 from a sprig taken'.from the Empress Frederick's wedding nose gay. The sprig flourished, and is now a fine bush, and during the last 40 years lt has supplied innumerable pieces of myrtle for the embellish ment of royal bridal bouquets. Jnst a* Little Wrinkle It is considered fashionable just now to address a personal letter or au invitation to some entertainment with a certain addition. This ls in the nat ure of a prefix and lt really adds to the formal appearance of the envelope. Slightly to the ?ft of the address and always above it, never ou the same line with it, put the word "For" or else "To," besides the usual super scription. For ; ^ ^ Miss Van Alen To or Mr. Oliver Hazard. This ls never used in writing a busi ness communication, but lt is much liked on personal correspondence, lt ls a mark of personal consideration, to be a recognition of the dignity of the personage to whom the letter ls addressed. No doubt it is the Ameri can adaption of the stately old French form o.f.addressing the envelope of a letter: "Mme, a Mile.-, or 4,M. a Mme.-" At all events the formality is a pleasing one. Take notice when the mall bugs are next distributed and you will see mis sives in the fashionable feminine hand writing of the present day with the prefixed preposition duly in place. The sending of a letter in some wise re sembles the sending of a gift. Any thing which adds to the consequence of the Individual to whom It ls ad dressed gives him or her additional pleasure.-Philadelphia Record. Famed for Her Orchids. For the last 10 years Mrs. George W. Wilson of West Walnut street has diligently collected orchids, and at present she owns an orchldorlum whose value lovers of these rare plants place at nearly $100,000. Three years ago Mrs. Wilson ob tained possession of the only collec tion In America rivaling hers-that of Eratus Corning of Albany. About this time also she acquired the valu able services of Alphonse Perlent, formerly gardener to the Baron Roths child, and under whose care the plants have shown marvelous development. There are in her grounds no less than six greenhouses. There ls also a conservatory forming a part of the house. Perhaps of the greenhouses that con taining the Cattleya is the most in teresting. These orchids come prin cipally from Brazil, and ore equally tipped in a strange fashion and have brilliant white sefals and petals. The seed Is as minute as the fluff from a dandelion. When sown lt takes often times a full year to germinate, and when finally the sprout appears above the ground another year elapses be fore lt attains the height of a quarter of an Inch. Afterward the growth is faster, but not till the tenth year do the plants bloom. Every year the Horticultural society of Philadelphia awards a silver medal for some ..unique flowering specimen, and this year it wus awarded io an orchid raised In Mrs. Wilson's green house. Her gardener entered a speci men in full bloom of Cattleya Inter media Alba, a variety never before known to blossom In North America. This plant is a foot high; its flower stalk is long and slender, and is capped at the summit with a wonder ful glow of pnre white beauty.-Phala delphia North American. The Woman as a Lairyer. The ?woman lawyer, her origin, pro gress, and her reasons for being one were exploited recently in Washington before the Science association. Of the woman lawyer's early days Miss Pet tU8 of Washington said: "Women ap peared before the courts of ancient Rome In some instances, although the privilege was soon taken from them, b?t long before the Christian era De borah sat as a Judge in Israel. In Spain and Italy in the Middle Ages, women filled professors' chairs In let ters and in law, lecturing in the great universities and receiving doctors' de grees in law." Of her recent progress, Austin Ahbptt said: "The earliest dated accessible to the field of law are that Iowa university admitted them In 1888, Michigan in 1873, Mississippi In 1880, and Illinois in 1890, and other states in quick succession, while in our great western states the law schools from their foundation have been open to women students. In the Empire state, Cornell led the way in 1888, but New York university fol lowed In 1890, and has graduated CO women with fhe degree of bachelor of law, 10 of whom have taken later the master's degree. Illinois has tho largest roll of names of women admit ted to the bar, for 87 women lawyers have come from that state. Even in the more conservative southern states the way has opened; four states admit them to the bar and to the law schools." And- now the? woman law yer ls organizing. In New York there Is the Women's Lawyers' club; In Bos ton, the Portia club; in Chicago, tho League of Women Lawyers. There is also a National Association of Women Lawyers, membership in which Is limited to those In practice "for five years for themselves." This laet looks somewhat like a Trust and would ap pear to be ratter "mean" on the younger women. Why women should know some law was stated by Mr. Abbott as follows: "Legal study lends to ranke the -mind more reason* able, consistent, logical, and well balanced. These qualities are aa need? ful to women as to men." Physical Cuitare for Women. All women cannot have perfect feat ures. All women can and should hare perfect forms. Physical exercise, taken judiciously-the right amount at the righi time-will work miracles with the "female form divine." Ten times out of a dozen the female form Is anything but "divine." This is the fault of parents, environment, laziness, overeating, tight lacing and many other things. Men all the world over prefer beauty of form to any other attraction or charm in women. For this prefer ence they exhibit excellent philosophy as well as excellent taste. For a wom an with a beautiful form ls also a woman with a beautiful temper and beautiful health. And the possession of the two means perfect happiness to any mortal man. ? Some women fear that physical cul ture spoils the round symmetry of form; This is an absolutely erroneous idea. On the contrary, it gives to the body strength, grace and exquisite beauty, rounding out angles and ac centuating curves. The first important rule for women who take up physical culture-not a* a fad, but us an aid to health and beauty-Is moderation. The great trouble with the sex is that it is apt to overdo along the line of work aa along many others which but recently opened up to lt. The result is always disastrous. Women must bear In mind that they are not training as prij?e fighters; they are striving to get their bodies into good physical condition. Their efforts are for health, strength, suppleness; a body symmetrically beautiful and free from all superfluous flesh, a mind alert, tranquil abd not easily ruffled. These alone are the objects of physi cal culture. Walking ls superb exercise. There is no other that. can equal it for all around good results. But in order to develop symmetrical, beauty of limb, arm and muscle other exercises must be added to lt The best thing for a woman anxious to try physical culture is ;to take n few lessons from a thoroughly com petent teacher, aa lt ls almost impos sible to accurately describe the dif ferent exercises without practical il lustration. Then she can practice them at home. The best time to exercise is just on stepping out of bed in the morning. Bo sure to have plenty of fresh air when exercising; otherwise you do yourself more harm than good. Never exercise td the point of fatigue. Con tinue each exercise until the muscles used in that particular exercise ore slightly fatigued. Then desist and. try the next. Be sure and adopt o system of exercise that will equally develop the upper and lower parts of of the body. .Do not develop legs and muscles to the detriment of chest - and waist; alwpys remember that symmetry is beauty. A woman of weakly or sickly con stitution should not at first attempt the very vigorous movements, but as she gains in strength" she may success fully adopt them. . Gymnastics and ' athletics develop mind as well as body. They bring the motor nerves into play and thus ac celerate the brain's activity. Good health also means success in life. Every one likes the wholesome, rosy cheeked woman;-she is invariably good tempered and '.harming. Some philosophical writer says there is no such 4 thing as a red cheeked, criminal. He might have ndded that there ls no such thing as a rosy cheeked shrew. Scime women imagine thatexerclse, especially the different gymnastic ex ercises, tend to Increase the size of the waist That this ls not sp is amply proved by the fact that all strong, ac tive athletic men have proverbially small waists in comparison to their size and chest development. On the contrary, persons who lead sedentary lives always commence to put on fat at the waist line. Tight lacing really Increases the size of woman's waist for lacing weakens the waist muscles, rendere them flaccid and Inactive, so that when the corset pressure is removed they fall about, and spread, and the result ls a large Increase in the natural waist measurement-New York Her ald. The craze for gold trimmings is de veloping in a most, effective i^jtjV through combination with heavy lace. A new garniture much In favor con; slsts of rings of guipure linked one through the other and applied as a. band. Automobile coats for autumn wear are shown in cranberry red cloth, heavily strapped, severely plain, and three-quarter length. The abbe collar, made of linen or wired lace and turning down in tabs in front like a priest's collar, ls a fancy of the moment in Paris. Broad velvet cravats and girdles, gold fringed and drawn through gold clasps, are worn with soft wool morn-, lng gowns, for which they furnish al most the only trimming. Around the edge of many of the j boleros on the new wool gowns there' are? Instead, of the ordinary lace bor der, embroidered holes, through which ls drawn velvet ribbon or soft lace or chiffon-ending In choux on the bust. Boleros of guipure, point de Venise,; Carrickross, etc., are applied upon gold tissue and finished with gold but tons or tassels. Bands of the lace ah so are applied to bands of gold tissue and used upon cloth or silk with ex cellent results. Point d' esprit, on which are applied trailing sprays of lace, is to be one of the most popular materials for young | girls' evening gowns during the win ter. It is more durable than chiffon or mousseline and achieves consider able distinction through Bkilful use of the lace. A new trimming much in use among Paris dressmakers is a scallop of gla?e silk united to a scalloped edge of the gown material by openwork herrlng-bonlng. The herring-boning is seen also obove flounce hems, down skirt gores, and, in fact wherever on openwork effect ls desirable. ? . 1 J fi Tucking, edged wlth: narrow gold lace, ls seen In the vests of wool gowns; and a particularly good finish for the bottom of a skirt is furnished by a number of wide folds, looking like deep tucks, and edged with gold lace. It ls said that gold lace will also figure largely in winter millinery. Don't worry overmuc about -those sharp pains in your head.

There exist all grades in the spread rpf wings between tl at of the condor, which ls four times the length of the body;, whereby the bird ls able to rise to the height of nearly 25,000 feet, ami the little wlnglets of the auk, which ar? of no use to lt. The penguins hare still smaller winga, which are nothing more than short, flattened stumps.wlth out proper fenthecs and covered with a fine, hair-like down, which might be token for scales. Another group of birds exists, called appropriately brevi pennes, the wings of whioh are so poorly developed as to be wholly un suited for flight. Among them are some' gigantic birds, and also some that have no visible wings on the out side of their bodies, and may, there fore, be properly called wingless. The ostrich ls a member of this group. With ita bare, callous head and short bill, Its long, featherless neck and Its massive body, supported by long, half bare legs, ending in two large toes; its very short wings, formed of soft and flexible feathers, and its plume-shaped tall, lt presents a very special appear ance among birds. The nandous, the American representatives of the os trich, have still shorter wings, which bave no remlgin at all, and terminate in a horny appendage, and they have no tail feathers. The cassowary and the emu also re rerable the ostrich in many points, but their wings are still more reduced than those of the nandou. They are only slightly distinct, and cannot bc seen when the bird holds them close up to Its body. In the apt?ryx, thc name of which, from the Greek, means without wings, the organs of flight are hardly apparent, and consist simply of a very short stump bearing a thick and hooked nail. The apt?ryx, which is al so called kiwi, a native of New Zea land, is the most singular of living birds. The neck and the body arc continuous, and the moderately sized head is furnished with a long beak re sembling that of the ibis. Having long hairs similar to the mustaches of cats at if s base, lt ls different from the bills of all other existing birds in possessing nostrils that open at tts upper point. Although the apt?ryx cannot fly, it runs very fast, despite the shortness pf It? legs, and can defend Itself very ef fectively against assailants by the aid of its long-uailed and sharp-nailed feet.' The tall ls absent, like the wings. The very pliant feathers arc extremely curious, of the shape of a lance-head, pendent, loose, silky, with jagged barbs, and Increase In length as they go back from the neck. The bird is of the size of a fowl, and when In its normal position stands with its body almost vertical and carries the suggestion of a caricature-resembling, we might sny, a feathered sack, with only a long-billed head and claws pro jecting, and one beholding lt feels that he ia looking at some unfinished crea ture. It ls a nocturnal bird, of fierce temper, and has become rare in conse quence of the merciless war that is made upon lt. Everything ls strange about it,' even the single egg it lays, which weighs about a quarter as much ns Its body.

The Acting Comptroller of the Treas ory has decided, In reply to a question from the Adjutant-General, that offi cers and enlisted men of the present "Volunteer army, will not be entitled to the two months' extra pay allowed In January, 1899, to those persons who volunteered In the Spanish war. His reason is that the act of January 12, 1899, gave this gratuity to Volunteers after the service for which they enter ed the army had been completed, with a very few exceptions. The present "Volunteers" have not finished their work, so that there ls "no Intelligent basis as to what extra pay Congress way deem appropriate to them on muster-out and discharge." The two armies, the army of 1898 and the "Volunteer army" of to-day, are essen tially different In character. The pres ent "Volunteers" are really short-term Regulars, and should not receive more favors than the Regulars. *The fact that our army ls limited In numbers, and that we have no provision of law for Increasing lt temporarily, or for giving an officer loeal or temporary rank nigher than that he holds, com pels us to adopt the roundabout ex pedient of creating a "Volunteer" army, with a limited existence. This does not warrant the bestowal of ex tra pay to persons enlisted In the "Volunteer army," unless the real army gets Its share too. The enlisted men of both Regular and "Volunteer" arrales are getting 'war pay" now, 20 per cent more than peace pay. They are also doing a lot of hard and good work. If there ls to be any gratuity -the Acting Comptroller hints point edly that an act to bestow lt ,1s In order-it should go to the Regular os well as to the "Volunteer." Mt Elna's Sire.

"I was moved in that direction by tlie rare patience and imagination of one little boy. His example convinced me that patience was one of the qualities I needed most; and, in seeking lt, I grew into that work.

Investigation has developed that the cotton said to have been made from the wood fibres is nothing more, than the natural product Itself. The spin ning cf spruce and fir fibres In ?tba production of artificial silk probably bas given rise to these erroneous re ports, says Consul Mahln, and lt il safe to conclude that though attempts have been made to produce artificial cotton, so far they have been without satisfactory results. f\ Psi'stlMass' Safest, sorest core tot WT .rf troubles.
